"Okay, please excuse me, Mr. Lang."
The girl's final choice was made when her indifferent eyes looked at Xu Jinyufu.
Xu Jinyu nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation:
"It's hot outside, girls can come inside and wait."
After Xu Jinyu finished speaking, he turned around and left without worrying about whether the girl would come in.
"Madam, let's not go in, right? How about we go back first and send a boy over to get the basket later."
The maid whispered in the girl's ear, although the boy was harmless, and there were guards in the house not far away, so you must be on guard against others!
But she didn't want to. The girl shook her head with a calm expression:
"I'm a little curious. Can such a handsome young man really weave such an exquisite bamboo basket?"
After the girl finished speaking, she walked directly into the Xu family courtyard. The maid was startled:
"Madam, wait for me!"
The lady has always been indifferent, why did she look at a country man in a different light today?
Under the grape trellis, Xu Jinyu had already taken out the bamboo silk and was knitting with his head down, staring at it. However, he saw his fingers flying around and the bamboo silk was tangled. After a while, it had already taken shape.
I have to say that whatever the handsome boy does is beautiful, especially when he is serious, there is a kind of beauty that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"I didn't expect that this young man can actually weave bamboo baskets. He seems to be pretty good at it."
The maid murmured a few words in a low voice, and the girl nodded in agreement:
"His movements are skillful, he must have put in a lot of hard work."
The girl's praise fell into Xu Jinyu's eyes. He couldn't help but pause, and then started busy again, as if he was not the one who stopped just now.
Perhaps Xu Jinyu stayed for a short time and was not noticed anything strange. The girl then opened her eyes and looked around.
Suddenly, the girl saw the bamboo sachet that Zhao Qingyang bought and was drying in the sun. Her eyes lit up, and then she walked over quickly, bent down and looked at the bamboo sachet carefully. After a moment, she looked at it. Xu Jinyu said:
"What a wonderful idea! Mr. Young Master, how much does this cost?"
Xu Jinyu was weaving a bamboo basket, but when she heard the question, she raised her head and glanced:
"One piece costs ten taels of silver, but someone has already decided on this one. If you're not in a hurry, girl, you can wait for two days and I'll see if I can weave something more exquisite."
As soon as Xu Jinyu said these words, the girl's eyes became even more satisfied:
"My father's birthday is coming soon. He likes bamboo the most and is elegant. This young gentleman has such a wonderful idea. He uses bamboo as material to weave an elegant and ingenious sachet. It must be the only one in Beijing!"
At the level of their family, the value of congratulatory gifts is no longer worth mentioning.
"Young Master, I will give you ten days. If you can make a more exquisite sachet, I will give you a hundred taels of silver!"
The girl said in a serious tone, and the maid was shocked:
"Madam! It's just a bamboo product. Where, where is it worth a hundred taels of silver?!"
"Shut up! If that's the case, what about the bamboo plate of Sui Han's three friends carved by Mr. Bixu himself that my father bought last year for 3,000 taels?"
"...But that bamboo plate is the work of Mr. Bixu's sealing sword, how can it be compared with it?"
"It's hard to buy a good heart. Ever since Mr. Bixu had an accident, my father has not shown his face for a long time, so what if he has a hundred taels of silver tattoo? I just hope that my father can be happy."
The girl spoke in a low tone. The maid quickly comforted her. After a long time, the girl said to Xu Jinyu again:
"What do you think of my request just now, Mr. Lang?"
Xu Jinyu knits quickly and has now reached the end. The overall shape of this bamboo basket is the same as that of the little sister. Only the mouth of the basket is designed by Xu Jinyu and is decorated with five petals. It looks simple and cute, but it is very Exquisite.
Xu Jinyu handed the braided bamboo basket to the girl and said without being humble or arrogant:
"I can understand the girl's pure and filial heart, but there is no reason to raise the price on the ground.
This bamboo sachet is priced at ten taels, which is just ten taels. The girl does not need to spend a lot of money to buy it. The bamboo basket is finished. How about taking a look at it, girl? "
“What a beautiful bamboo basket!”
The girl's plain face was initially a little surprised because of Xu Jinyu's words, but then her attention was quickly attracted by the exquisite and detailed bamboo basket.
Even the somewhat picky maid, thinking about what Xu Jinyu just said and looking at the bamboo basket, couldn't say anything bad.
This bamboo basket is indeed based on my daughter’s family’s preferences.
"As long as the girl likes it, as for the bamboo sachet, I still need some time to think about it and will send it to your house in ten days."
Xu Jinyu cupped his hands and said.
The girl nodded with satisfaction and looked up at the maid:
"In that case, I will wait for good news."
The maid stepped forward and handed a piece of silver to Xu Jinyu, and said in a polite tone:
"If you have finished the finished product, just go to the first house on the left on Zhuque Street and say you are looking for Pinellia ternata."
After the maid said this, she and the girl left gracefully.
Xu Jinyu watched the two people leave, then looked at the full twelve taels of silver ingots in her hands. She couldn't help but smile and shook her head. How could a bamboo basket be worth ten taels of silver?
These wealthy people really don't put such gold and silver in their eyes.
However, now that there are twelve and ten taels, his cultivation has already been settled!
At this time, the younger sister also exclaimed:
"Ah! A silver ingot! My brother's bamboo basket is a silver ingot, but I only have a few copper plates... I'm so stupid!"
As the little girl spoke, she lowered her head. If there were two more ears on the top of her head, they would all droop down now.
Xu Jinyu smiled and rubbed her little sister's little head:
"You can't say that. The girl bought the bamboo basket seriously, but the younger sister did sell part of the right to use the bamboo basket. This is different.
Moreover, those little girls and little sisters should also be good friends. This is called the price of friendship. Although it is only a few copper coins, it makes the little sister and friends feel happy. This is enough. "
The little girl nodded in understanding, and then Xu Jinyu said warmly:
"Moreover, the girl was able to come to buy a bamboo basket this time because of you, little sister. I should remember you as a great meritorious service, but what else do you want!"
When the little girl heard this, she felt no longer sleepy. She rolled her eyes like black crystals and said with her little mouth:
"I want to eat candied haws! One for my mother, my eldest sister, my brother, um, and the Zhao brothers! I also want big red flowers, new clothes, and some meat..."
The little girl kept talking, but Xu Jinyu only responded with a smile:
"Okay, then when mother comes back, we will make arrangements for our little sister!"
"Okay! Hey, why isn't brother Zhao here?"
Xu Jinyu also looked up, and it seemed that as soon as the girl showed up, Zhao Qingyang disappeared.
Not long after, only a slight cough was heard, and Zhao Qingyang walked out of the room:
"Ahem, Brother Yu has sent me away."
"Brother Qingyang, this is..."
Xu Jinyu did not miss Zhao Qingyang's swift and violent movements just now, as if he were trying to escape, and now he raised his eyebrows in confusion:
"Ahem, then, isn't that an acquaintance? That one is the pearl of Duke Jing's mansion, the baby born to the Duke's wife at the age of 40.
Even in our lifetime, we have to call her "little aunt"... If she finds out that I ran away again, she will definitely file a complaint against me at the old man Jing Guo Gong! "
Zhao Qingyang muttered, which made Xu Jinyu curious:
"You are not even afraid of Duke Zhen Guo, why are you afraid of Duke Jing Guo?"
"Damn it, you don't know this! My father was taught by Duke Jingguo for a while, but then... we broke up anyway, and I was a bit confused in the capital. Every time I let Duke Jingguo see him, I would be embarrassed. Let someone beat me up!"
"If I remember correctly, Lord Zhen Guo seems to have more outstanding martial arts skills?"
"...But Duke Jingguo is really fighting! Once a teacher, he will always be a father. Even though we are no longer together, Duke Jingguo is also half my grandfather. How can I dare to resist?! In short, it is all my father's fault for being a disciple indiscriminately. You’re wrong! Fortunately, I reacted quickly just now!”
Xu Jinyu: "..."
But then, Zhao Qingyang said cheerfully:
"My little aunt has been very smart and thoughtful since she was a child, but she missed the mark today. How could she have thought that Brother Yu only made three bamboo baskets! That's why I couldn't show up just now, otherwise I would have to Laugh at her!"
Xu Jinyu just smiled and said nothing when he heard this, with a bamboo thread hooked on his fingertips and his eyes wandering.
In the evening, Xu's mother and Mrs. Xu returned home angrily. As soon as they closed the door, Xu's mother slapped her hand on the stone table angrily:
"It's too much! It's just too much! My eldest son, Shu Xiu, doesn't ask any of them, but the wife of the head of the clan actually wants that stupid son who is known to the king from all over the country to marry my eldest daughter! Damn me! !”
When Dani, who had been preparing to boil water as soon as she came back, heard this, her fingertips shook and the firewood she picked up fell to the ground. She felt that the blood all over her body had solidified.
Mrs. Xu was furious at the moment. She glanced at Dani and consoled her:
"Don't be afraid, Dani, no matter how poor our family is, we won't sell our children!"
Dani was silent when she heard the words. After a moment, she exhaled and whispered:
"Mom, why don't you marry me? It's important that Da Lang goes to school, I don't care."
"Sister, don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Jinyu, who had just finished practicing calligraphy, walked out quickly and took out a silver ingot:
"Mistress, mother, eldest sister, look at what this is?"
Silver ingots, bright silver ingots shine in the moonlight.
"My mother! Am I dreaming? Mother, please pinch me! Money is falling from the sky!"
Old Mrs. Xu: "...No future!"
I simply couldn’t see it!
But where did this silver ingot come from?
"Miscellaneous! Mom! Are you back?! Brother is so awesome today! He sold a bamboo basket to a fairy sister and got a big ingot! Yes, this is it!"
Before Mrs. Xu could ask, the younger sister rushed out and poured everything out of the bamboo tube like beans.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment, looking at the big ingot on the table, with a bewildered look on her face:
"Jinyu, are you not dreaming? Did you really get this silver ingot by selling a bamboo basket?"
Xu's mother woke up quickly this time. After hearing what Mrs. Xu said, she curled her lips slightly.
Look, she's not the only one who has no future!
