51, the old horse knows the way
Zhuo Jingning really didn't lie. His horse harness was really mediocre. However, this horse was not a high-quality horse, but it was just an ordinary horse. It was a low-quality horse in terms of quality, and it was an old horse. It didn't walk fast, but it was very human. As soon as Zhuo Jingning got on the carriage, the horse slowly moved, which made Zhuo Jingning feel relieved.
Zhuo Jingning is not familiar with the territory of Jiao County. Li Wanshu is just pointing the way in the car. The road is not far away. After walking for nearly half an hour, he saw the jewelry shop. The name is quite direct - the Western Regions Treasure Shop.
It seems like I am afraid that others don’t know what they are selling here.
From afar, he can open a shop here without being disturbed by gangsters. This shop is naturally not simple, but it is not about Zhuo Jingning's business. He just came to buy jewelry with his sister-in-law's wife.
As they walked along the way, of course, it was impossible for the two of them to say nothing. They chatted for a while. Although Zhuo Jingning didn't say any witty words, he also said some funny words, which made Li Wanshu laugh all the way. At the moment of getting off the car, the tone of talking between Li Wanshu and Zhuo Jingning had changed from being polite at the beginning to being a conversation between acquaintances.
What Zhuo Jingning didn't expect was that there were really diamonds here, and the ones sold were not expensive, but the workmanship was not so well-established. Seeing the diamonds Zhuo Jingning mentioned, Li Wanshu suddenly smiled like a flower.
Zhuo Jingning couldn't help but feel sorry for him that he could not bring this diamond to the real world, otherwise he would be able to become a millionaire in the real world if he made a difference.
"I didn't expect there would be such a beautiful pearl." Li Wanshu thought the diamond was a pearl, and while trying it, he turned his head and whispered to Zhuo Jingning.
Her voice is the characteristic voice of a Jiangnan woman, soft and has a feeling of being sweet to people's hearts.
"I want this too." Zhuo Jingning said to the shopkeeper. Anyway, it wasn't his money, so he didn't feel sorry for how much he bought it.
"Mrs. Young Master has good eyesight, please give it to Mrs. and Mrs.." The shopkeeper was from the Western Regions, but he spoke very authentically in the dialect of Jiao County and immediately urged his friend to come.
He regarded Zhuo Jingning and Li Wanshu as a couple.
"I don't..." This made Li Wanshu hurriedly ask for an excuse, but at this time, he said it was a coincidence and was extremely surprised. Someone howled outside: "Governor Bai is here, and idle people are avoiding it."
Zhuo Jingning immediately thought of Baijia. He didn't expect Baijia to come here. Then he saw Li Wanshu leaning against him, leaning against her side, almost half of her body was in his arms, so as to use Zhuo Jingning's figure to block his own figure.
It seems that not only he thinks so, but Li Wanshu also thinks so.
Otherwise, the reaction would not be so great.
Although the Qing Dynasty was clear, he and Li Wanshu drove a carriage to the jewelry store to buy jewelry. They did not bring their servants to avoid gossiping, but once they were discovered, they were really getting darker and darker, so it would be better not to let people know.
Zhuo Jingning did not hesitate, and immediately put his hand on Li Wanshu's shoulder, gently hugged her in his arms, and whispered: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I've offended you."
Li Wanshu had to subconsciously struggle, but when she heard Zhuo Jingning say this, she obediently let Zhuo Jingning hug her.
Baijia seemed to have just passed by, but in just a moment, the person walked away and he immediately let go of his hand.
Looking at it again, Li Wanshu's cheeks were red.
Zhuo Jingning immediately said: "How much money does this total cost?"
"A total of 120 taels." The shopkeeper dialed the abacus and said with a smile, his eyes narrowed. One hundred and twenty taels, this is a big business!
Zhuo Jingning looked at Li Wanshu again. Seeing that she lowered her head slightly and her cheeks were still red, she sighed in her heart, and then took money from her arms while gasping for air conditioning.
After paying the bill, he became the coachman again. Li Wanshu didn't say a word along the way, and Zhuo Jingning didn't say a word. He was still feeling sorry for his 120 taels of silver!
After coming to Jiao County, he only had thirty taels of silver left!
The prices are really high!
Zhuo Jingning felt whispering in his heart and went back to the Bai Mansion. Zhuo Jingning looked at the front door first. Before Bai Jia came back, he drove to the back door in the carriage.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, we're here." He said.
Li Wanshu got off the carriage and walked forward without saying a word. It seemed that she was still because of the previous incident. But she stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Zhuo Jingning, and she stretched out her hand.
"What?"
"Where is the diamond?" Li Wanshu asked in a low voice.
Zhuo Jingning took out the wrapped box from her arms. It turned out that she hadn't forgotten it. He had planned to go back and return the goods, but now it seems that the 120 taels of silver will not be returned.
Li Wanshu took the package and left immediately.
Zhuo Jingning looked at Li Wanshu's slim back, stood for a long time, and then sighed: "Where is the carriage parked? You're telling me before leaving!"
But Li Wanshu couldn't hear this sigh, and she had already walked away.
He turned sideways, looked at the old horse and said, "Everyone says that the old horse knows the way. Can you go back to the shed by yourself?"
Zhuo Jingning will give it a try.
After all, this horse is quite humane along the way.
The old horse sniffed and then walked slowly.
Zhuo Jingning was still worried, so he followed. Then he soon saw a horse shed, and there was a servant nearby. When he saw the old horse coming, he immediately ran over and pulled the horse into the shed.
Zhuo Jingning is relieved now. Unfortunately, this horse is too old. Otherwise, it would be worth a thousand gold with the level of human nature of this horse!
Zhuo Jingning didn't care. After all, in the real world, there were still a bunch of people saying, "I dare not raise this dog, I'm afraid it will think I'm stupid." "Hurry to send this cat to Tsinghua University and Peking University to avoid delaying the child."
This is true for pets, cats and dogs, let alone an old horse in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?
What's there to make a fuss about?
Zhuo Jingning didn't take the matter of holding Li Wanshu in his arms before. He went back to his residence and started practicing boxing in the yard.
I liked reading a while ago, but now I like to practice boxing.
In the country slang, this is called - three minutes of popularity.
...
"Madam, I'm back." The maid politely said to Li Wanshu.
"Yeah." Li Wanshu nodded, then entered the room and closed the door casually, but when she thought of something, she ordered: "The master is back, tell me."
"Yes, madam."
Li Wanshu entered the room, sat at the table, poured herself a glass of water, and did not drink it. After sitting for a while, she took out a package.
It is the wooden box wrapped with diamonds.
Li Wanshu opened the box and looked at the dazzling "pearl" inside, and suddenly smiled, but then the smile on her pretty face disappeared.
She gently stroked the "pearl" and whispered: "It's too late."
Then, she touched her belly again, and the beautiful willow eyebrows showed sorrow. After three years, she still has no children.
