However, Mr. Luo stopped him with words: "Wait!"
Hearing Master Luo's words, Luo Jingcheng had no choice but to turn around and said, "Dad, isn't it getting late? We also want to take a rest!"
However, facing Luo Jingcheng, who was pretending to be innocent, Mr. Luo said coldly, "If you really want to go to rest early, you won't go out to fool around today. Look at the smell of alcohol, don't you know how bad it is?"
When Luo Jingcheng heard this, he said listlessly, "Isn't this a dinner invitation for friends? Isn't it wrong for me to go over to have a meal? Look at the elder brother, he also invites all the relevant and irrelevant things to his home to eat ours. If you drink from us, how come the friends over there are not cunning friends?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Luo just said, "Can he be the same as you?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jingcheng immediately retorted, "Why are he and I different?"
Then Luo Jingcheng didn't know what he thought of, but he said in a weird voice, "Oh, that's right. My eldest brother will inherit the family property in the future. He is your good and serious son. He is promising and motivated. He is not like us cats and dogs." It’s nothing.”
After hearing this, Mr. Luo was obviously mad at his son, "Shut up!"
Luo Jingcheng realized that this person was not only his parents, but also his parents. Although he felt that the other party was stingy, no matter how stingy he was, it was better than nothing.
And his one hundred and sixty silver dollars haven't been found yet.
So Luo Jingcheng honestly shut up.
Then Mr. Luo just said, "Let me ask you, what do you want to do by ordering so many fireworks?"
Luo Jingcheng curled his lips and said, "What else can I do? I just want to play with it."
As expected, Mr. Luo got angry when Luo Jingcheng said something, "Can that be something you play with? Are you just playing with more than a hundred taels of silver? Are you Shi Chong or Wang Kai?"
Luo Jingcheng didn't say anything when he heard his father's accusation. Anyway, he had been accused by his own father since he was a child.
Then Mr. Luo just said, "Jingcheng, from today on, you can't act like this anymore. You are not young anymore. You should save money on many things."
After hearing Master Luo's words, Luo Jingcheng just nodded obediently.
Mr. Luo thought he had heard it, so he said nothing more at the moment.
Then Mr. Luo just waved his hand and said, "Okay, you and your mother can go down together, and by the way, you can help your mother find a pearl bracelet."
After listening to Mr. Luo's words, Luo Jingcheng only nodded cooperatively, and then he supported his mother and left. ..
After Mrs. Luo Er came out of the west courtyard, she was obviously still very angry, "Damn it! How could I lose my bracelet? I don't know which damn thing dared to steal my bracelet and banknotes. If I catch this little kid next time, Thief, I will beat him to death!"
When Luo Jingcheng heard what his mother said was so cruel, besides being frightened, Luo Jingcheng just smiled and said to his mother, "Mom, why did you get into trouble with your third sister today? Didn't you two have a good relationship in the past?"
Hearing Luo Jingcheng's words, Mrs. Luo only said bitterly, "What's so good? She didn't give birth to her after all. She is willing to fall out with me just for such a trivial matter. If she doesn't come over today, I will doubt her." ?"
After hearing Mrs. Luo's words, Luo Jingcheng naturally understood why his mother was angry. However, he felt guilty. After all, his second sister was taking the blame for him, so he only whispered to persuade his mother. "Mom, what are you so angry about? Didn't she also prove that she didn't steal it?"
However, Mrs. Luo Er rolled her eyes and said, "Who knows where she hid it? Anyway, although this bracelet was not found in her room, has anyone else entered the inner room besides you and her today?"
After saying this, Mrs. Luo Er glanced at Luo Jingcheng again.
Luo Jingcheng immediately felt guilty and said immediately, "Mom, you won't doubt me, will you? I didn't steal it. I have no conscience. I haven't even been to your house!"
However, Mrs. Luo Er said coldly, "What are you thinking? Do we, mother and son, need to steal this thing? I'm asking you what you came here for today?"
Luo Jingcheng didn't dare to steal again at this moment. After all, if he stole again and his mother made it known to everyone, it would be embarrassing.
And there's no guarantee he won't get caught next time.
Therefore, Luo Jingcheng just whispered, "I originally wanted to borrow some money from you."
"Borrow money?" Mrs. Luo Er was obviously a little surprised.
Luo Jingcheng nodded honestly, "I just want to borrow some money from you. If you don't agree, forget it."
However, Mrs. Luo Er suddenly said to Luo Jingcheng, "You come to me to spend money again? Just tell me what you want to do? I see you doing nothing all day long. You are the first to spend money. You are like this." How could dad like you! If I didn't have you as my only son, I wouldn't want to care about you!"
Although he was scolded by Mrs. Luo Er, and it seemed that his mother did not want to give him money, Luo Jingcheng was obviously used to acting rogue in front of his mother.
"Mom, don't you just have a precious son with me now? I will borrow some money from you as your son. When you get old, my son will live in a different place for you."
After hearing Luo Jingcheng's words, Mrs. Luo Er said no more words immediately.
She just said to Luo Jingcheng, "How much money do you want to borrow?"
Luo Jingcheng whispered, "Not much, not much, only one hundred and sixty silver."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Luo Er was shocked: "You are crazy! You spend one hundred and sixty silver at a time. Your mother and I have to save this money for a year."
Upon hearing Mrs. Luo's words, Luo Jingcheng curled his lips and said, "Mom, I'm just borrowing money from you. It's not like I won't pay you back."
"Repay? What do you want to pay me back? What money do you have to pay me back?"
Luo Jingcheng immediately whispered, "Of course I will pay you back! I don't use the money for myself, I use it for business."
Then Luo Jingcheng lowered his head and said, "I'm sure I can't compete with my elder brother if I study hard, so I'm thinking of finding another way. If I can't study well, I'll go into business. I also want to impress my father!"
Apparently once she heard that Luo Jingcheng was trying to compete with his elder brother, Mrs. Luo's second wife no longer had such obvious harsh hostility towards Luo Jingcheng.
"If you can think of this, that's good. But if you really want to do business, why bother running with others? No matter how rich the people in Leiyang City are, can they be richer than our Luo family?"
"I'll tell your father and let him practice your skills in a shop for you. Once you practice your skills well, our life will be easier!"
However, upon hearing his mother's words, Luo Jingcheng seemed to lack interest.
"Mom, of course I know that our Luo family is the richest in Leiyang City, but no matter how rich we are, it still belongs to my father, not mine. Besides, if I work in my own home and I don't do well, my father will only become worse. Think that I am a waste. If I do well, he will only think that this is what I should do. Mom, what do we mean if this is the case? Instead of working in the shadow of my elder brother, I might as well continue to give them the impression of being careless. , when I’m done, you can come up with it and say, isn’t this better than that?”
Mrs. Luo Er nodded lightly when she heard this. She seemed to think what her son said was reasonable, but she still asked, "Is the business reliable?"
After hearing Mrs. Luo's words, Luo Jingcheng immediately said, "Mom, don't worry, this is my brother's business. He said he would take us with him, and he was the one who invited us to drink today. We went to Fenyang Restaurant . The food there is not cheap. For my son’s little money, I’m afraid it’s not even enough to go there, let alone invite a large table of people to eat like this!”
Hearing what Luo Jingcheng said, Mrs. Luo obviously believed most of it, so she just whispered, "Then what does he do?"
Luo Jingcheng was slightly stuck for a moment, so he could only say, "What else can he do? Isn't he just doing business? He transports goods from the city to outside the city."
After hearing this, Mrs. Luo Er immediately stopped asking further questions.
She had completely believed Luo Jingcheng's words, "Okay, you go back with me, and I will get you money when I get home."
When Luo Jingcheng saw that his mother had been deceived by him again, he smiled happily and said, "Thank you, mother, you are so kind."
After saying this, Luo Jingcheng was ready to go back to his mother's house with his mother.
Mrs. Luo Er then only gave two hundred taels to her son.
Luo Jingcheng got the money successfully, and immediately thought that he could go find them tomorrow.
On the other side, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen were passing by a jewelry store. When the owner of the jewelry store saw the two of them passing by, he immediately greeted them and said, "You two gentlemen, please take a look at the pearl jewelry. Our store is very close." There are a lot of new styles. Would you like to come in and take a look?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen said to Jiang Niangjiao, "Madam, why don't we go in and have a look? We have worked so hard to come to Leiyang, but we can't go in vain, can we?"
After listening to Zhao Yanzhen's words, Jiang Nianjiao just smiled and nodded.
The shopkeeper immediately attracted business at the sight and introduced the two of them into the shop with a smile on his face.
As he said, this shop is almost filled with pearl jewelry of various shapes and styles.
Even the store only had pigeon egg-sized Dongzhu, but these things were not unusual to them. Instead, it was a pink pearl bracelet on the counter that attracted Jiang Nianjiao's attention.
Therefore, after Jiang Nianjiao looked around, she pointed at the pink bracelet and said, "Can you please bring me the pink pearl bracelet and show it to me?"
When the store owner heard this, he immediately praised her, "Madam, you really have good taste. This was Wenji's favorite bracelet back then. It's the only one in Leiyang, but also in the whole country."
"And I see that Madam is wearing pink today. It will definitely look better if paired with this bracelet."
Jiang Nianjiao didn't reply, she just took the bracelet and put it on her hand.
Then he took another quick look in front of the mirror.
