Cheng Jingzhou doesn't practice piano, so he has never been to a piano store.
It's normal for the waiter in this shop not to recognize him.
It's just that he didn't expect that the waiter would look down on people so much, and he would also say bad words and start driving away customers.
"What's the matter with you? My dear boy just said that it's expensive? Do you mean that we have to buy your piano?"
The waiter didn't panic and said with a proud look on his face: "Don't go out and ask around. We are the only one in Gaoyang County that sells qins. Are there any other shops? Let alone qins. We have pipa and huqin here." , flutes, etc., everything is complete. Since you two are short of money, go out as soon as possible."
Cheng Jingzhou wanted to argue with him again, but Xie Rongzhao quickly stopped him.
"Forget it, brother Jingzhou, let's go back first."
Cheng Jingzhou is usually calm, but after all he is still only a half-year-old child. Now seeing his doting little boy being wronged, he feels even more uncomfortable than himself being looked down upon. He is thinking about spending money to buy one. He came, but was forced out by Xie Rongzhao.
"Brother Jingzhou, don't be angry, don't be angry, we don't have the same knowledge as him. You are a scholar, wouldn't you be degrading yourself by arguing with him? Let's go back first. We don't have to rush to learn the piano. Besides, I have to talk to him Auntie can discuss it with you."
For most ordinary people, being able to have enough food, clothing and clothing and eating meat two or three times a month is already a very satisfying thing.
As for talents such as learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, only wealthy people can learn it. Ordinary people would not even dare to think about it.
Therefore, those who usually go to music shops are usually from wealthy families.
No wonder Xie Rongzhao said it was too expensive, which made the waiter dissatisfied.
Originally, this was not something prepared for poor families.
Cheng Jingzhou was unhappy along the way, so the two simply went to Shiweitian.
"I want to eat his tofu. I can eat a big bowl of rice."
Cheng Jingzhou was happy. There were only three people together with the waiter, so he simply sat in the lobby.
Changsheng didn't dare to sit down at first. He used to sit at the same table when he came out with the young master, but today there is Miss Xie, who is the future mistress, and he doesn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Brother Changsheng, please sit down quickly."
Chang Sheng was so frightened by her voice that he turned pale: "Miss, you don't dare to shout like that, just call me Chang Sheng."
Xie Rongzhao thought of Changsheng's identity, and then looked at Cheng Jingzhou, who had a slightly dark face, and realized that the name he just called was illegal.
"Hehe, brother Jingzhou, you like beef the most. Do you want a plate?"
Cheng Jingzhou glared at her and secretly cursed: This girl calls everyone brother, is she following anyone?
The three of them ordered two dishes and one soup, which were served with rice. The more they ate, the happier they became.
The previous unhappiness was also forgotten by Cheng Jingzhou, while Xie Rongzhao was secretly happy. As expected, the effect of delicious food is still very powerful.
"Brother Jingzhou, can you take me home for a visit next time you take a bath?"
Cheng Jingzhou was unfazed. This girl was so good and learned the rules well. Moreover, after she came, her mother no longer said she was bored, and the smiles on her face increased. The little darling was a great contributor.
"Okay, then we will buy some gifts for your mother-in-law to take back."
Xie Rongzhao had a sad face: "But I don't have much money. By the way, the pearl hairpin I gave my mother-in-law before has not been delivered yet."
This reminded Cheng Jingzhou: "It's okay, we'll go over and take a look later."
Xie Rongzhao was actually a little embarrassed.
After all, this pearl was given to her by Cheng Jingzhou, and as far as she knew, she got it from Mrs. Cheng. Now she made a pearl hairpin for her grandma, but did not give any indication to Mrs. Cheng. Isn't it rude? ?
"Brother Jingzhou, I want to buy a gift for Aunt Cheng. What does Aunt Cheng like?"
Cheng Jingzhou was stunned for a moment. He was actually somewhat alienated from his mother. It wasn't that he didn't like her, it was just because he was sent to a foreign school to grow up, and he usually had more contact with his father and grandfather.
Besides, he is a boy and he usually doesn't know much about makeup and clothes. He really doesn't know much about his mother's preferences.
"I don't know about the rest, but I remember that there is a family that has snacks that my mother particularly likes to eat. We will buy them later."
Xie Rongzhao thought that snacks were enough, at least he had to show his appreciation.
"Then it's agreed that you won't be able to take any money to buy snacks later. I have money."
Cheng Jingzhou smiled and said neither yes nor no.
Changsheng quite likes the relationship between the young master and the young lady.
Moreover, this Miss Xie is also gentle-tempered, not as arrogant as Miss Yuanyuan, and never regards her servants as human beings.
"Master, I heard that Madam also likes the cream that was sold last winter. I got two boxes earlier. I sent one box to the old Madam. She kept one box for herself. I guess she has almost enough to use. Why don't I buy it for Madam? A box of cream?"
Xie Rongzhao's eyes were shining: "This is good! Brother Jingzhou, let's buy this."
Cheng Jingzhou had no choice but to agree.
He didn't blame Chang Sheng for being troubled. The main reason was that he also saw that Xiao Guabao wanted to have a good relationship with his mother. This also showed that his position in her heart was very important. Otherwise, it would not be worth her attention. .
Thinking of this, Cheng Jingzhou was quite happy.
And he knew that Xie Rongzhao also had money now. Xiangxiang Braised Restaurant would send two taels of silver to Xie Rongzhao after every month's balance, which Xie Xiuwen gave her for daily expenses.
How could she, a little girl, use up so much?
Xie Rongzhao was very happy when he saw the exquisite and beautiful pearl hairpin.
Cheng Jingzhou said: "I have already paid for the pearl hairpin. Should we choose the cream now, or buy some snacks?"
Xie Rongzhao felt that they should buy the cream first, so that the snacks they bought in the end might still be warm.
Xie Rongzhao originally thought that a box of cream would not cost much, at most twenty taels of silver per box, which was her monthly salary.
Nicheng wanted to ask, only to find out that this box was sold for three to two six cents.
Xie Rongzhao felt that it was too early for him to speak loudly.
She could indeed afford so much money, but she was reluctant to part with it.
She only had less than five taels of silver in total. If she wanted to buy a box of cream, she would only have a little more than one tael left. She was spending money too fast.
Cheng Jingzhou could see that she was distressed, but he didn't bother her and just let her struggle there, waiting to see whether she would ask him for help or grit her teeth and buy it herself.
Xie Rongzhao was too embarrassed to ask Cheng Jingzhou to borrow money, let alone ask him to pay.
Gritting her teeth, she still took out three to six dollars.
"It's so expensive. It will take me next month to save enough money to buy a box for my mother-in-law."
Cheng Jingzhou thought, gave Changsheng a look, and then helped Xie Rongzhao board the carriage.
