Chapter 33 Gifts
"I sold all the medicine for 20 taels." Xu Baozhu gestured with two fingers.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yun praised: "My lady is really amazing."

"Hey." Xu Baozhu enjoyed his compliment very much, but she was not comfortable with this address, and corrected: "No one here knows us, so there is no need to call me that, just call me by my name, it sounds more pleasing to my ears. "

"Is there any problem with this?" Zhu Yun was puzzled.

"No, it's just that I'm not used to it."

She is a modern person, and she yells with other women all day long. Although it is caused by the environment, it always feels weird to hear it.

Zhu Yundao: "But if it's not a habit, if one day it comes out casually, wouldn't it be revealing?"

Xu Baozhu: "..."

It seems that there is some truth to it.

Forget it, call it all, don't worry about it anymore.

Xu Baozhu pulled him through the crowd and into the study that he had just visited.

Zhu Yun's temperament is outstanding, and he attracted the attention of many people in the room as soon as he entered the door.

Everyone is a bit vain, and Xu Baozhu is no exception. Although the two are not a real couple, but under such circumstances, being misunderstood as a serious matter, I still feel a little secretly happy, and unconsciously stand in the identity of the hostess, raising my head to meet The boss said: "Bring up your best pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

Zhu Yun smiled helplessly, waved his hands, and said to the boss: "Just take some as you like."

At first Xu Baozhu didn't know why people did this. They have money now, 20 taels, which can cover the expenditure of ordinary people for a year. , Later she found out that this is the best thing, she can't even afford a wolf pen with this little money.

"As expected, the payment for this knowledge is the most expensive wherever you go." Xu Baozhu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Actually, these things are good or bad, as long as they can be written and used." Zhu Yun comforted humanity.

"Too."

After hearing what he said, Xu Baozhu suddenly became enlightened, "That's fine, is there anything else you need, let's go if you don't have any."

"Nothing."

The two took their things, left the study, and at Zhu Yun's request, turned into a nearby jewelry shop.

"You bought me something, and I should buy you some in return."

Xu Baozhu looked at the dazzling array of accessories in front of her. They were all antiques. If she could bring them back...

Thinking of this, she was overjoyed.

"Do you have money?"

She remembered that the golden knife on the person was more valuable, and she kept the golden knife here, but his status may be unusual, and now he is also a poor man.

Zhu Yun seemed to have guessed that he would ask this question a long time ago, and said: "The county magistrate caught the wrong person just now. As compensation, he gave me some, and bought a grate. It's still okay."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Baozhu frowned, "According to what you say, then the lord seems to be a good person, since he is a good person, why doesn't he pity the people's livelihood and insist on asking people to pay so much food? "

Their village is still self-sufficient. If it is like the tenant farmers Ouyang said, it will be even worse. After paying the government, they have to pay the county again. Throughout the year, they do all the work for others, and at the end they drink It's windy from the northwest.

"Perhaps, this is not your lord's original intention." Zhu Yun said.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't his intention? Could it be that someone put a knife on his neck and forced him to exploit us peasants?"

The more Xu Baozhu thought about it, the more angry she became. Zhu Yun was just talking nonsense. Seeing her filled with righteous indignation, she hurriedly changed the subject, "Never mind that, let's see if anyone likes it?"

He brought a hairpin in the style of Bingti hibiscus to her, "How about this?"

Xu Baozhu looked at it and frowned slightly, "It's good-looking, but it's just that the style is so trendy and the workmanship is fine, so it's very expensive, isn't it?"

After going out of the study just now, she has begun to have an idea of ​​the money here. Those who eat for a tael of silver can eat enough, and there are still some leftovers. However, these pastimes are more expensive than the same.

The proprietress of the shop asked hurriedly, "Is this the first time my lady has come to buy things here? You don't know that in Qiancheng County, our jewelry shop is the only one with the best workmanship and the most reasonable price. It's just you For the one in Xianggong’s hand, we don’t even count the handmade money, only five taels of silver.”

"Five taels?"

"You sound expensive, but take a look, this thing is good, and it is decorated with hibiscus, implying the love of husband and wife. What a wonderful idea. This person buys things sometimes just for the sake of it. You and Mr. Xiao Lang has such a good relationship, if he wears it, wouldn't it be..."

"Let's just do it." Zhu Yun cut off the words of the proprietress, "Wrap it up for us."

After all, he took out the silver from his pocket and paid the bill.

"You really are, you can believe what people say, five taels of silver, just buy such a thing, and tell them all."

The more Xu Baozhu thought about it, the more he lost money.

This is an antique, but you can't take it back, and it's just a decorative accessory.

Spend so much money, just buy a fancy but useless...

Zhu Yun smiled resentfully, "The proprietress is enthusiastic, and she also has a kind heart. Wouldn't it be bad to do her favor?"

"Following her wishes, it was our money, five taels of silver, Dad would have to see many clinics to earn it back, and take it back, wouldn't there be a chance to wear it?"

She has to go up the mountain to collect herbs all day long, go to work in the fields, and she is always busy when she goes home. She only has a little free time when she goes to bed at night. It is late at night, and who will she wear it for?
No matter what Xu Baozhu did, he felt that this deal was not worthwhile.

"Then if you don't buy it now, you can buy it now, and you can't refund it." Zhu Yun bowed his head and looked apologetic.

Seeing this made Xu Baozhu feel quite uncomfortable. After all, the things were for her use, and she bought them all, and she was thinking about it so casually.

"Okay." Xu Baozhu's attitude softened, and said, "I've bought everything, so let's do it this time, and don't make an exception."

"Ah."

Zhu Yun handed over the rest of the money to her, "I'd better keep it for you. In my hands, I can't help but feel soft. I don't know when it will be spent like it was just now."

Xu Baozhu was stunned, he had at least ten taels of silver, but when he came, he was clearly empty-handed, could it be... the county magistrate really gave it to him?

Just give it to the wrong person, isn't that outrageous?
"What do you think?"

"I'm not spying on your privacy, but tell me honestly, what's the relationship between you and the magistrate, and why did he give you so much money?"

"It doesn't matter!" Zhu Yun denied, "Look at me, how can I climb up to these two people who are so cool?"

"Then why did he give you money, so much? Don't really say it's because he caught you by mistake. I'm not a fool!"

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Zhu Yun said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth."
