Chapter 21: How did one hundred thousand taels come about?
When I returned to Gusu, it was already dark.
Gusu in April always gives people a special gentleness, and when the group enters the house, the garden that has been quiet for a long time suddenly becomes lively.
Gu Mingzhu went to see Gu Ruyan and talked about Xiangbei, and at the end, he asked, "Daddy is going to Jiangling, what is the interesting thing?" ”
Gu Ruyan said: "I'm going to do errands, not to have fun, so how can I ask about interesting things." This trip to Jiangling is a trip to the Yun family, and the marriage date between you and Yun Zhao should also be set. ”
Gu Ruyan paid attention to Gu Mingzhu's face as he spoke, and seeing that she was expressionless, he continued: "It's set for July 14 this year." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled softly: "Daddy is in charge." ”
It's like the shy appearance of her daughter's family.
Gu Ruyan's worries were dispelled, and his mood suddenly became smoother: "I will celebrate my fiftieth birthday in two days, Yun Zhao will also come, your brother is already on his way home, Rong'er has not returned for more than half a year, and your mother is talking about him every day." ”
"Daddy......" Gu Mingzhu hesitated: "I want to inquire about something." ”
"What's the matter? Let's hear it. ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Some time ago, I heard that the Song family and the Qi family were going to get married, do you know why?" ”
Gu Ruyan said: "It's not a secret that this matter is not a secret, it is Song Zhizhou's sister, Song Qiu, something happened in the family, and he needed 100,000 taels of silver, so the Qi family used his daughter's marriage as a plan to exchange with the Song family, and the two families have already agreed that when Song Zixi comes back from Jiangling, the two families will sit down and agree." ”
Song Qiu......
Gu Mingzhu heard that she was Song Zhizhou's sister-in-law and married to the Wanpingqiu family.
Gu Mingzhu was surprised: "Daddy, isn't the Qi family afraid of other people's jokes when they do this?" ”
"Jokes? Silly girl, Song Zixi looks like a dragon and phoenix among people, and the future is immeasurable, the Qi family is gambling, and the bet wins. This time, Song Zixi visited Hualang in high school, and the two families got married, and the prestige of the Qi family in Gusu was different from the past. ”
"Is there any way to keep the Song Qi family from getting married?"
Gu Ruyan was puzzled: "What are these words?" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Since Song Zixi's future is limitless, then we will be good friends with him, isn't this a good thing for the Gu family?" ”
Gu Ru said solemnly: "Mingzhu, don't talk nonsense, the family affairs of the Song and Qi families are already a certainty, if you obstruct it, the Qi family will not only hold a grudge, but the Gu family will also be criticized." ”
Gu Mingzhu stuck out his tongue and pretended to laugh mischievously: "Daddy, I just said it casually." ”
As soon as he got out of the study door, Gu Mingzhu couldn't laugh.
If you want to take Song Zixi for your own use, then you need to take out 100,000 taels of silver, 100,000 taels!
Where did she get that much money? Want it from home? Even if you can come, you have to make it known.
That wasn't her intention.
Gu Mingzhu's head flew, and he soon went to Ning Qing to cry poor.
"Mother......" Gu Mingzhu said: "You can help me, I just want to buy an object, I spent a lot of money in Xiangbei during this time, my mother ......"
The little girl softened her voice, and her voice called Ning Qing's soft intestines: "Okay, okay, let's say, how much?" ”
Gu Mingzhu happily stretched out five fingers.
"Five hundred taels?" Ning Qingdao.
Gu Mingzhu shook his head.
Ning Qing frowned: "Five thousand taels? What does it cost so much money to buy? ”
Five thousand taels is half a month's income for a restaurant.
Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips.
Ning Qing was surprised: "Fifty thousand taels? ”
Gu Mingzhu was really helpless, and said stubbornly: "Mother...... I'm just in a hurry......"
Ning Qing sank his face: "What emergency can you use for fifty thousand taels?" Looking at the entire Gusu, the merchants who can take out 50,000 taels of silver can count it on one finger, you can be honest! What the hell is going on? ”
Gu Mingzhu knew that it was not easy to fool the past, so she made up her mind, so she bit her lip and didn't say anything, looking very aggrieved.
How could Ning Qing see her so aggrieved, and couldn't help but ease her face: "You girl, tell me what happened, you are worried about your mother's good life!" ”
Gu Mingzhu's heart seemed to have been stabbed once by a sharp knife, and it hurt a little.
Now just looking at her grievances is so worried, how worried should her mother be in the days when she lost her correspondence in her previous life......
Gu Mingzhu hugged her and called out to her mother in a soft voice.
Ning Qing sighed in her heart: "You, you ......"
As soon as it was interrupted, Gu Mingzhu didn't mention the matter of 50,000 taels again, and early the next morning, before getting up, Chun'er knocked on the door and said, "Miss, Madam is here." ”
As soon as the words fell, they were pushed away, and Ning Qing walked in.
As soon as Gu Mingzhu woke up and called her mother, Ning Qing took out the silver ticket: "This is the fifty thousand taels you want." ”
Gu Mingzhu was instantly sleepy, sat up straight, walked to the table and saw that it was really 50,000 taels of silver tickets.
Ning Qing frowned: "Shoes, shoes, shoes...... Put your shoes on. ”
Gu Mingzhu was overjoyed with the banknote, and hugged Ning Qing is heartfelt: "Sure enough, my mother is the best for me." ”
"Okay, okay, no rules." Ning Qing feigned anger and said: "The day after tomorrow is your father's fiftieth birthday, I want to go out to buy, you can settle down at home." ”
How could Gu Mingzhu settle down, almost as soon as Ning Qing went out on the front foot, she dressed up in disguise on the back foot and went to Yipin Pavilion alone.
Yipinge is the largest pawnshop in Gusu City, and it is not quite consistent to say that it is a pawnshop, because the things collected by Yipinge will not be directly discounted to you, but will be priced in the form of selling, and Yipinge will extract appropriate fees from it.
Gu Mingzhu was wearing a men's green shirt with a high ponytail, and under the guidance of the little maid, he soon met the owner of Yipinge, Xu Ming'an.
Xu Ming'an saw that although Gu Mingzhu was immature, he had an extraordinary bearing, so he didn't dare to despise it, and said with a smile: "Little boy, but you want to see the landlord by name?" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "I have something here, the landlord will take a look." ”
Gu Mingzhu handed over the wooden box.
Xu Ming'an was a little surprised that she was so direct, kept a smile and took the wooden box, opened it, and then the smile disappeared.
Xu Ming'an raised his head suddenly: "Three-eyed, blue-eyed snake gall? ”
"The landlord knows the goods." Gu Mingzhu said with a smile.
Xu Ming'an stared at Gu Mingzhu: "When will the little boy want it?" ”
"The sooner the better."
Xu Ming'an pondered for a moment, and quickly said, "Little boy, how is tomorrow?" I'm going to get the news out first, and someone will ask for something like this. ”
"Tomorrow, then."
"Tomorrow, Yipinlou is waiting for the little boy."
Sending Gu Mingzhu away, Xu Ming'an immediately ordered someone to spread the news, and a little guy was puzzled: "Landlord, this snake gall is worth such a big move?" ”
Xu Ming'an's eyes shone brightly: "Three-eyed, blue-eyed, snake, snake gall, can cure all kinds of poisons!" Who wouldn't want to own such treasures? If it appears in Yipinlou, if this is done, Yipinlou will be famous! ”
Xu Ming'an couldn't guess Gu Mingzhu's identity, so he hurriedly went upstairs and personally drafted the post and sent it to each family.
