The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Dali Temple Yamen.

After their duties were over, several officials came out of Dali Temple, said goodbye to each other, and prepared to go home.

Qi Yunwen suddenly said: "Yao Ling, don't leave yet, come with me to buy some jewelry."

"Should I accompany you to buy jewelry?" Gu Jingxi turned his head, looked him up and down, and said with an incomprehensible expression, "Those are things that girls use at home. Why do you, a grown man, want jewelry?"

Qi Yunwen was choked by his words, looked at him strangely, and said angrily: "After all, you have a wife, why don't you have the slightest idea? When a man buys jewelry, he doesn't buy it for his wife. Could it be that he keeps it for himself? ?”

When Gu Jingxi heard this, he immediately reacted and coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment.

Qi Yunwen said again: "I think you have a good sense. Please help me choose."

Gu Jingxi nodded and said, "Okay."

Jinyu Pavilion.

As the largest jewelry store in Beijing, the various jewelry items in Jinyu Pavilion are dazzling.

Compared to Gu Jingxi, who has been alone for many years, Qi Yunwen still knows a little about these jewelry. After all, he buys one for his wife from time to time, and he knows what styles are popular nowadays.

Qi Yunwen picked up a jade hairpin and asked, "Yao Ling, what do you think of this hairpin?"

Gu Jingxi glanced at it and replied: "Not bad."

Qi Yunwen picked up another one: "What about this one?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "It's not bad."

Hearing this, Qi Yunwen took two hairpins and compared them. He couldn't choose for a while, so he asked again: "Which one of the two is better?"

Gu Jingxi took a look at it twice and commented objectively: "They are both similar. Both are exquisitely made and the jade quality is transparent."

Qi Yunwen was speechless and couldn't help rolling his eyes at him.

Is he asking about the quality of the jade?

He obviously asked about the style, but the answer was simply wrong.

Gu Jingxi didn't notice the roll of his eyes from his friend. As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were attracted by a small row of hairpins.

He moved over and took a look. They were all hairpins made of pure gold. Each hairpin had two tassels. Pearls were embellished at the ends of the tassels. The workmanship was very exquisite. There were twelve hairpins in total, each with its own characteristics. The style of each hairpin They are all different. There are plum blossoms, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, peonies, pomegranates, lotus flowers, crabapples, sweet-scented osmanthus, chrysanthemums, hibiscus, camellias, and narcissus. There are twelve styles, which seem to correspond to the twelve months of the year.

Looking at the hairpins, he suddenly remembered that there was a little girl at home. These hairpins were just right for his little girl to wear. The little girl had bright features and was suitable for wearing brightly colored jewelry. Wearing gold jewelry would not look vulgar. He had seen little girls wearing them. The girl wears gold jewelry, which is bright and elegant, and looks very beautiful.

Gu Jingxi took a look and saw that the twelve hairpins were all very good, and they were indistinguishable from each other. The little girl didn't have much jewelry, so she bought them all thinking that the little girl could wear them differently. She directly said with great wealth: "Shopkeeper, I will give you these twelve hairpins." I want them all, how much money?"

Qi Yunwen paid attention to his friend's movements. Seeing this move, he smiled. He felt that his friend was not too slow. After all, he entered the jewelry store and knew that he wanted to buy jewelry for his wife. All his efforts today were not in vain. That's it. If we go down, we will probably not be far from the iron tree blooming.

When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. Just now I saw that both of them were wearing official robes, and their official positions were not low. They must have money.

No, this gentleman made more than a thousand taels of silver as soon as he made the move. The shopkeeper's face instantly turned into a smile and said: "My lord, you are really discerning. This set of hairpins was made by our master from Jinyu Pavilion." Yes, they were just put up for sale. Each one is made of pure gold, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite. Look, each flower is made lifelike, and each of these pearls is about the size of a thumb, and the color is bright and lustrous. It's smooth, round and flawless."

Gu Jingxi interrupted him impatiently: "Let's get to the point."

The shopkeeper's smile faltered and he replied: "The price of each of these twelve hairpins is the same, eighty-eight taels each, a total of one thousand and fifty-six taels of silver. If you buy so many, I will wipe out the change for you. One thousand and fifty taels is sufficient.”

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi said without blinking, "Okay, I want both."

After saying that, he reached for the silver and took out one with a face value of five hundred taels and two with a face value of one hundred taels. Finding that it was not enough, he took out another seventy-eight taels of silver and five cents from his wallet.

He only had 778 taels of silver on him, and the five cents were ignored, leaving a shortfall of 272 taels.

Being short of money, Gu Jingxi was silent for a while, and then looked at his friend calmly: "Mo Bai, lend me two hundred and seventy-two taels of silver first."

Qi Yunwen saw that his friend had a rare enlightenment and knew how to buy jewelry for the little girl. He felt like an old father when he saw his son was the top scorer in high school. He naturally agreed: "Hey, okay, I will lend you everything, let alone two hundred and seventy." Two taels are enough, I can borrow all 2,720 taels.”

He immediately went to dig into his wallet.

It would have been better if he didn't pay for it, but after he did, he found that he was a little embarrassed. He didn't have as much as 272 taels, but just 250 taels. It wasn't enough to lend it out, and he didn't have any money to buy jewelry for his wife. .

He was silent for a long time, silently took out a banknote with a face value of one hundred taels and handed it to his friend. Under his friend's gaze, he took out another one with a face value of one hundred taels, and finally gave his friend fifty taels as well.

Still short of twenty-two taels of silver.

Gu Jingxi looked at him and motioned for him to give him more.

Seeing that his friend was still looking at him, Qi Yunwen was not afraid of embarrassment, so he simply broke the jar, turned over his purse, and said, "No more, that's all I have."

The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he saw two imperial officials collecting money to buy jewelry. However, the person who could carry so much money with him must be from a very wealthy family. He still had twenty-two taels of silver left, so he didn't have to accept it. Zuo is a person.

However, before the shopkeeper could speak, a girl's voice came: "Uncle, you are here too."

Song Xinning originally wanted to buy a hairpin and go home, but she never expected to see her uncle. Her eyes immediately lit up, as if she had seen someone who had been taken advantage of, and she ran to Qi Yunwen in a hurry, ready to say something nice to coax her uncle. Then she asked her uncle to give her a few pieces of jewelry, and later she would drag her uncle to the rouge shop in front, saying that she would choose some rouge for her aunt, and then get some benefits for herself.

However, she never imagined that one day her wishful thinking would come to nothing in front of the uncle who loved her most.

When her uncle saw her, a smile instantly appeared on his face. The smile was as kind as possible. She thought that her uncle was happy today and would take the initiative to buy her jewelry, but she never thought that her uncle would say to her: "Ah Ning, you came just in time, did you bring some silver with you when you go out? Give your uncle twenty-two taels of silver first."

Song Xinning was confused: "???"
