After Mr. Gu and Tianbao decided on the escort, they went to the East Market to simply buy some things for the village. However, because they bought too many things and couldn't take them to look for the cattle cart, Mr. Gu concentrated on them and directly Buy a carriage.
Two figures, one large and one small, hurriedly arrived at the horse market. There were only a few houses selling horses in the horse market. From a distance, they all looked listless with their heads drooped.
For the horse market, it's better to come in the morning.
Mr. Gu picked a house that seemed to be in good spirits.
As soon as he stepped into the store, a middle-aged man walked in front of him. He had an honest face and wiped his sweat as he walked. He walked up to Mr. Gu and raised his hands to bow.
Mr. Gu quickly returned the gift.
"Does this gentleman want to buy a horse or a carriage?"
"I want to buy a carriage. Do you have a ready-made carriage?" Mr. Gu said after walking around under the guidance of the horse dealer.
When the horse dealer heard this, his eyes lit up and he said quickly: "There are some! I just don't know how many people the master wants to accommodate? We have one that can accommodate ten people, and there is also a small carriage that can accommodate five people."
"This structure Is it stable?" Mr. Gu was a little worried about structural problems. After all, it can accommodate ten people.
Tianbao looked at it from the side. The horse looked very tall. She didn't dare to get close. If it was kicked away, she wouldn't be able to go to Fucheng.
Then he followed Mr. Gu and walked towards the carriage.
After looking around, I found that this carriage is made of fine wood, its structure and workmanship are first-class, and its price is also first-class.
Tianbao tugged on Mr. Gu's sleeve and pointed at two places. Mr. Gu instantly understood what Tianbao meant.
The horse dealer didn't know what Tianbao was doing and thought it was because the little girl was tired, so he immediately said: "But this lady is tired? Otherwise, go to the front hall to have a rest."
Mr. Gu waved his hand, picked up Tianbao, and said, Turning to the horse dealer, he said, "This child is afraid of animals. I can just hold him."
Tianbao also buried his head in Mr. Gu's arms at the right time, and really looked like he was afraid of animals.
When the horse dealer saw this, he smiled and changed the subject.
Mr. Gu reached out and pointed at two carriages, the two that Tianbao pointed to just now, one larger and one smaller.
"Just those two carriages. If you want horses, give me two good horses. The price is not a problem."
The horse dealer took a look and secretly thought that this gentleman had a good vision and bought the two best carriages here.
Mr. Gu finally bought two good horses and two carriages at a high price of one hundred taels.
When the horse dealer met a big customer, he asked his servants to help him drive the carriage back.
Mr. Gu asked the young man to wait at the county gate and meet him later. When the young man arrived, he drove to the county gate and waited.
Mr. Gu drove a large carriage to load the things he bought. He also went to the cloth store to buy some pieces of cloth and some cotton wool, and then drove to the county gate.
Tianbao sat outside the carriage, sitting with Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu was afraid that Tianbao would stretch his calf down, so he couldn't help but lift Tianbao.
"Dad, I didn't fall!" Tianbao's eyes were a little sad. If she tried to slip down again, she would be strangled to death. Mr. Gu didn't know that his hands were too strong, so he thought his daughter was worried about him. With a smile on his face, he said happily: "Don't worry, my daughter, this journey will be rough. I will lift you up and I won't let you fall.
" ."
Tianbao suddenly felt like crying. Fortunately, Mr. Gu had already driven the carriage to the county gate. When he turned around, he could see the boy feeding the horses and waiting for them to come back. There were also a group of people around who couldn't help but be curious. Looking over, everyone is whispering to each other.
At this moment, Mr. Gu felt that his face was very radiant. This was not comparable to the light he had before, but was given by his daughter.
Tianbao didn't raise her head to look at Mr. Gu, but with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, she felt that his seventh brother would most likely go to Fucheng.
After looking for a long time, she could not find Brother Seven. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?
Tianbao couldn't help but look around again, and finally saw a figure walking not far away.
He has a graceful figure and a somewhat scholarly air when walking. His eyebrows are delicate and the corners of his lips are curved. He seems to be in a good mood.
"Brother Qi!" Tian Bao saw Gu Lao Qi coming, and excitedly waved his delicate white hands like lotus roots.
Gu Laoqi, who was gradually approaching from a distance, only saw a meat dumpling on the carriage waving his arms and calling Qi Ge. Without looking further, he knew that this person was his little sister.
With a spring-like smile on Junyi's face, he walked forward quickly. Before he could get past Mr. Gu, he was pulled aside by Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu pointed to the boy's place and said fiercely: "Go to the car!"
"Brother Qi, remember to ask for your hard work." Tianbao squeezed the cold sweat for Brother Qi and whispered to Brother Qi.
As for why Tianbao wanted to tip, she didn't know. She probably saw her humble self in the past for various experiments.
Gu Lao Qi nodded and scratched his head again. He didn't know why his father was so angry, but he still obeyed Mr. Gu's instructions and took the riding whip from the young man's hand. The young man was not at ease at first and looked in the direction of Mr. Gu. , Mr. Gu nodded, and reluctantly handed the riding whip over.
But in the next second, a pile of copper coins was put into his palm. When he looked carefully, he saw that there were more than twenty copper coins. He was startled, and with a smile on his face, he slipped out of the carriage.
Gu Lao Qi didn't see anything strange, he just thought that the other party just wanted some reward money. He didn't care at all and forgot about the matter.
Gu Laoqi is also a good driver, he learned it in his early years.
Gu Lao Qi drove the car in front, and Mr. Gu followed closely behind.
With the carriage, the speed increased a lot. In about half an hour, the three people and the carriage returned to Gu's house.
A horse brayed and the sound of horse hooves caused the Gu family to come out to take a look. They originally thought they were coming to watch the fun, but it turned out that Mr. Gu was driving a carriage back.
"Have you rented the carriage so quickly?" Mrs. Gu asked Mr. Gu who had tied up the carriage and walked over with Tianbao in his arms.
Before Mr. Gu could reply, the villagers who heard the noise and came were all staring at the old Gu family with jealousy. Even if Mrs. Gu mentioned renting by name, they were still jealous.
"Hey, sister-in-law of the Gu family, your family has become rich!" The Gu family has been so envious in the past three years, everyone's mouths are dripping with oil, except for the old lady's waist, which has not changed much.
When Mrs. Gu heard the voice, she turned her eyes and saw that it was the annoying old woman. She pressed her lips and said, "Yes, I am getting rich. Who gave me a husband-in-law who treats me well? He has been like this for decades." Day, that's not it! People have become successful, and I have also benefited from it." As he said this, he touched his dark hair.
