Chapter 313 Husband 1 Wants to Be a Widow (13)
Gu Yuxi looked at Wei Jiyao and said, "Seventeen taels is also fine."
"No, girl, I'm a man of my word. I said twenty taels for each one, and besides, these wolf gallbladders, wolf whips, and other items are all miraculous medicines. They are worth more than twenty taels. I got a bargain."
"Then I won't be polite."
Seeing that Gu Yuxi was straightforward, Wei Jiyao signaled and his subordinates handed over a hundred taels of silver notes and two ingots of silver.
"Miss, are you not going to inspect the goods?"
"Why bother, girl, could you tell me your name?"
Gu Yuxi: "I am just a nobody. The young lady and I are just business partners. I am afraid that my name will be tarnished."
"You are too modest. My name is Wei..."
"Miss!"
"Miss, it's getting late and we have important matters to attend to."
Wei Jiyao was stopped. She scratched her head in embarrassment. Her identity could not be exposed. She clasped her fists and said, "Girl, we will meet again if we are lucky."
She mounted her horse and signaled her men to investigate secretly, but when she saw that Gu Yuxi was a lame man, she was shocked.
A burst of dust flew up. Seeing that the group of people were lucky, Gu Yuxi and the others picked up their bags and said to the man beside them, "Dad, Ayun has difficulty walking, please help him. I will buy you shoes when we get to the county town."
"Xi'er, is the stuff heavy? I'll help you carry it."
"I came here all the way this way. The stuff isn't heavy."
Gu Yuxi did suggest carrying Zhou Shenyun on his back, but he was unwilling to do so for fear of being laughed at. Gu Yuxi couldn't persuade him and could only let Yao Zhigang support him.
After walking for more than an hour, the three of them finally returned to the county town. Zhou Shenyun and his friends took a long detour when they fled, so they returned quickly.
The soldiers guarding the gate were frightened when they saw Gu Yuxi carrying a big knife, and asked, "Where are you from and where are you going?"
"Sister, I am from Fengzhu Village in this county. I went to the border to serve as a soldier a few years ago. Because of problems with my legs and body that made it impossible for me to continue fighting the enemy, I was sent back home."
"Well, let me see the paperwork."
"At this."
The man looked at it, frowned, and couldn't help asking: "The places we have arranged in recent years are all full. I also know that it has not been easy for you in the past few years. You should go home and farm."
"I also know that it's not easy for everyone. I'm lucky to be able to reunite with my family. How dare I go to the trouble of arranging it."
Gu Yuxi pointed at the man behind her and said, "This is my husband and father. They are worried about me, so they came to take me home."
"The things are fine, you can go now."
When they arrived at the market, Gu Yuxi took the two men directly to shoe stores, clothing stores and other shops.
"My dear wife, just buy it for Daddy, my..."
"I'm the head of the family. I'm not poor. I can buy whatever I like."
"Xi'er, I can just buy some cloth and make it at home. Buy new ones for Xiaoyun."
Gu Yuxi frowned, and the father and son thought to themselves that things were not going well. Then they heard Gu Yuxi say, "Anyway, you know my approximate net worth. If you don't spend it now, if I go to the gambling house and give it away for free one day, it will be too late for you to regret it."
"You...Xier, why do you still have that problem?"
"Dad, a woman who is not lustful, does not gamble, does not drink, and has a good temper...it is rare to find someone who is perfect in this world."
Yao Zhigang was angry. In the past, Gu Yuxi spent three taels of silver each time she went to the gambling house. She was rich, but she couldn't be so willful.
"My dear guests, our clothes are hand-sewn by our embroiderer. Many guests like them."
"It is only natural to spend the money of your daughter or wife. I rarely see women accompanying men to buy clothes. You should change your clothes."
The shopkeeper was very tactful and did not mention the two men's tattered clothes and shoes.
Yao Zhigang looked at Gu Yuxi who was sitting aside carelessly, but his clothes were in good condition without a single patch.
Gu Yuxi said nonchalantly, "At least two sets per person. I haven't seen those old friends for a long time. If they are having difficulties, I will help them."
"Don't say anything! The five hundred coins you lent to Miss Tang for her wedding are now gone. No one can spend money on me when you go home. Did they help you when you were broke?"
Thinking that it was better to save money at home than at the gambling houses, Yao Zhigang said to Zhou Shenyun, "Xiaoyun, ignore her. This embroidered dress is nice. Try it on."
"Dad, this is expensive."
"It's okay. It's only natural to spend your woman's money. You can't let her do whatever she did before and give it to outsiders."
Zhou Shenyun thought of the arrogant man who used to be in the casino. If those bad friends came to find Gu Yuxi again when he returned this time, she might go to the brothel that she had never been to before.
He smiled and said to Yao Zhigang: "Dad, let's buy some cloth and make a lot more when we get home. It's not a waste of money."
"That's right. This looks good."
Gu Yuxi sat aside holding a sesame bun, watching the man who was shopping crazily inside.
"Thirty cents a pair."
"Xiao Yun, try it on to see if it fits. We'll buy you an extra pair."
"Sir, we have some fine fabrics upstairs. You can go and have a look."
After a while, looking at the many things in front of him, Yao Zhigang didn't want to buy anymore and asked, "Shopkeeper, there seem to be too many things. How about next time..."
"How much is it, shopkeeper?"
The accountant holding the abacus calculated again and said cheerfully, "Sister, there are one and a half pieces of cloth, a total of five taels and three hundred coins, six pieces of clothing, pants... The shoes and jewelry next door belong to our husband, and the bracelets and hairpins you just took are a total of twenty-five taels and sixty-seven coins. We will give you a discount, twenty-five taels and sixty coins will be enough."
"Ah, why are there so many?"
"I bought it, I'll pay for it."
"Sir, you have a really good taste. Everything you see is very good."
Yao Zhigang was speechless. He thought that buying the cloth would allow Gu Yuxi to spend less money on other things, but he didn't want to spend so much.
"Xi'er, it's too expensive."
"Well, let's see if we have enough."
Gu Yuxi placed a silver ingot and some small change in front of the counter, and the shopkeeper and the accountant began to count them.
"That's enough. Sister, if you are satisfied with the things in our store, you are welcome to come again."
"Easy to say."
After moving the things out, Gu Yuxi handed over the jewelry and said, "Your hair is as messy as a chicken coop. Clean it up. You can wear this bracelet for fun. Dad, you get the jade one, and Yun, you get the silver one."
At some point, Zhou Shenyun's hair became a little messy, and when they saw the exquisite hairpin that Gu Yuxi handed over, they were moved.
After Zhou Shenyun got the silver jade hairpin and bracelet, his hand accidentally touched Gu Yuxi and he felt his body a little hot.
The carvings on the bracelet are very beautiful, and Zhou Shenyun can't let it go. Before Gu Yuxi was captured and forced to serve in the army, he had good food, and Yao Zhigang also respected him very much. He was very happy.
After Gu Yuxi left, he was severely bullied. He thought that his life should not be as miserable as the first half of his life, and everything would be fine when Gu Yuxi came back.
Thank God, he finally waited. Gu Yuxi is responsible, steady, and capable...
