Chapter Thirty-Nine: Did She Decide Too Early?
Chen Mingyu is the young owner of Chen Ji Buzhuang in the town, and he is also a scholar, with a delicate appearance and elegant white clothes, as soon as Gu Wan saw him, her heart suddenly jumped.
She is thirteen years old this year, and she has reached the age of knowing how to like the opposite sex, Chen Mingyu also asked Li Xiaohua to send her something before, and she already has a hazy good impression of him in her heart.
But now that her family is here, she is embarrassed to talk to each other, only blushing and hanging her head slightly, secretly looking at people.
Chen Mingyu naturally saw her, this girl is outstanding, and it is easy to see her at a glance in the crowd.
Seeing that the girl was shy and timid, his heart was about to move.
He saluted slightly, "Miss Gu, meet again." ”
Gu Wan didn't expect him to talk to her in front of her family, and she was a little speechless for a while, she hurriedly returned a salute, "Gongzi Chen." ”
"Why is Miss Gu here?"
Chen Mingyu asked.
You know, this is a school, not a place for girls to come, of course he also saw the Gu family, but he didn't take it to heart.
Gu Wan, "I came with my brother, this is my brother and younger siblings, that's my mother." ”
Regarding Gu Wan's family, Chen Mingyu had already inquired about Li Xiaohua, and he was not interested in the rest of the Gu family, but now that he was in the school, he still bowed, but his appearance was a little perfunctory.
Tang Xiang didn't care at all, he didn't even bother to look at it.
"Gone."
She glanced at Gu Wan, Gu Wan only felt that her stepmother's eyes were a little cold, and hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Mingyu and followed Tang Xiang.
The group walked quickly, Chen Mingyu looked at the backs of several people walking away, and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly.
He became more and more interested in this beautiful peasant girl.
Out of the gate of the school, Gu Wan looked nervous.
She was worried that her mother would ask him about Chen Mingyu, so she didn't dare to say a word.
Tang Xiang didn't ask, but Gu Yunqing couldn't help it.
"Xiaowan, do you know that Chen Gongzi?"
His tone is not good, and any brother who loves his sister can't be calm when he finds out that his sister is suspected of secretly contacting other men.
Gu Yunqing was very wary of that Chen Gongzi.
Gu Wan nodded, "Yes, the last time I met at the gate of Buzhuang, you were also there at the time." ”
When this was mentioned, several people instantly remembered, but Gu Yunrui said, "How does he know that your surname is Gu?" ”
Gu Wan's expression froze.
Gu Zhen whispered, "Last time we came out of Buzhuang and met Sister Xiaohua, did she say that?" ”
But this doesn't seem to be logical, how could Li Xiaohua know a son-in-law like Chen Mingyu!
Gu Yunqing's brows tightened, and she felt more and more that this Chen Mingyu was suspicious.
Whether it was Li Xiaohua or not, if Chen Mingyu knew their surname Gu, he could determine that he had checked them.
I only saw a girl once, so I asked everywhere, and this person was really unpleasant.
"Okay, don't talk about it, buy things first."
Only then did a few people find out that they had arrived at the bookstore, and Gu Yunqing was going to study in the school in the future, and they had to prepare other things such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
As soon as I entered the bookstore, a smell of ink came to my face, although it was not the first time I came in, but every time I came in, I still felt sacred.
Tang Xiang naturally doesn't have this feeling, small bookstores like this are everywhere in a modern small county, and there is nothing new to do.
"Man, get a good set of four treasures of the study."
When the young man heard this, he greeted him warmly and took out the best ones in the shop.
Tang Xiang was watching, and the hem of his clothes was torn off.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Xiang turned his head to look at Gu Yunqing.
Gu Yunqing's face was hot instantly, but she still stubbornly said, "Mother, you don't need to buy such an expensive one." ”
These brushes, the most expensive one costs five taels of silver, the paper also costs 100 wen a knife, and the inkstone is even more expensive, Gu Yunqing feels that he can't breathe, how much is this, how can he match it!
Tang Xiang made a lot of money selling medicine before, so he naturally didn't take the money to heart, but he didn't know about this matter, they didn't know how much money Tang Xiang had, and he couldn't afford to spend it like this.
"Mother, this is too expensive, I'll just use the ordinary one."
Seeing his distressed look, Tang Xiang smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'll pay it back in the future anyway." ”
What?
A few little ones are stunned, do you still have to pay back this money?
"I, I don't want it."
Gu Yunqing immediately waved his hand when he heard this, he couldn't afford to be so good.
He asked the guy to take the cheapest one, and one set only added up to one or two silver, Gu Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, but called Tang Xiang and said, "Pack that mid-range set." ”
"Mother."
Gu Yunqing is about to cry, does she have to let herself owe money?
Tang Xiang patted him, "Don't be nervous, I'll give you this set, it's a celebration for you." ”
Gu Yunqing accepted it apprehensively.
After buying pen and ink, he went to Buzhuang to add two sets of clothes, but this time Gu Wan grabbed Tang Xiang.
"Mother, buy cloth, I'll do it."
"Will you do it?"
The little girl lost her mother at the age of seven or eight, and she could still make clothes?
"Well, I will, I have mended our clothes all these years."
Since their mother died, her father was a showman and couldn't do this, so she took on this responsibility, she had learned to make clothes from the aunts in the village, not to mention how good they were, they must be no problem to wear.
Since this is the case, Tang Xiang is not reluctant, "Okay then!" ”
asked them to choose their own cloth, Tang Xiang paid the money, and took them to buy some food, and bought a basket for the convenience of taking them back.
The group prepared to go home.
As we reached the entrance of the town, a shout came.
"Big girl!"
Gu Wan turned her head to look over, and sure enough, it was Li Xiaohua.
Li Xiaohua was sitting on the ox cart back to the village, waving to her with a smile.
Gu Wan subconsciously glanced at Tang Xiang, Tang Xiang also looked at her, the two looked at each other, Gu Wan was a little nervous.
"Mother, I..."
"Let's go, take the car back."
She has never been in this kind of ox cart, and every time she travels, she is assisted by spiritual power, but she can only walk back with a few small ones, and it is good to take an ox cart.
A few little ones didn't expect to be able to take the car today, and they were all very happy, only Gu Yunqing subconsciously looked at Tang Xiang and whispered: "Mother, the ox cart costs money." ”
Of course, Tang Xiang knew that spending money was not expensive, one penny per person, but hearing him say this, Tang Xiang suddenly understood what he meant.
This kid is... Afraid of spending money?
Is it so picky at such a young age?
Tang Xiang ignored her, and got into the car with a few small ones, Gu Yunqing looked at them, quietly stomped his feet, and followed in the car.
There were quite a few people on the ox cart at this time, and a few of them were full when they sat down, and as soon as they came, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
An aunt laughed loudly: "Yo, my mother is going out together, what are you buying?" ”
All the things that Tang Xiang and his party bought were packed inside, and there were sundries on it, so they couldn't see what was inside.
Everyone also looked at them curiously, and looked very interested in what they bought.
Tang Xiang ignored them, but he couldn't hear them, but a few children were still quite taken care of in the village, and when he heard the words, he was about to reply, and a bitter voice said: "What do you ask, what can Tang Xiang's stepmother buy for the child." ”
