Chapter 109 Training (one more)
Zhou Gu thought he was not a very ignorant person, but he was still shocked by the value quoted by the Duke’s wife.
Mrs. Guo said to him angrily: "The brocade itself is rare, and the top-grade brocade is even rarer. The production process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and it requires a pinnacle of craftsmanship. Every procedure can't go wrong, so that such a good material and pattern can be produced. Take a look at this piece on your body. It's as bright as a haze and radiant. Not only that, but also the embroiderer, which contains a lot of gold and colored threads. Even if you look at it with your eyes, can it be an ordinary clothing material? Even if you don’t pay attention to these extravagances in the family of military generals, you should not be ignorant of the value of these clothes even if you have participated in many palace banquets since you were young.”
"I know it's expensive, but I don't know how expensive it is." Zhou Gu Nana said, "I won't stare at the ladies in the palace."
Mrs. Guo was speechless all of a sudden.
Zhou Gu himself was also silent.
For a while, the room was full of silence.
After sitting dryly for a while, Zhou Gu straightened up his back suddenly, and said confidently: "I remember such clothes, not only the women in the palace, but also grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and sisters, seem to have worn them too?" He thought about it again, and said affirmatively: "Grandfather, brothers, and I seem to have none."
Mrs. Guo gave him a blank look, "It doesn't seem to be, or you don't."
Zhou Gu looked at Mrs. Guogong, "Why?"
Such good things, don’t they deserve to wear them?
Mrs. Guo Gong looked at him and smiled angrily, "Your grandmother, me, and your aunts all have this kind of material, which was rewarded by the palace. Your grandmother lived a long life and saved up for many years. Naturally, there are more. Your aunts and I each have only two sets. When your sisters are all old, they will make one at home to decorate the facade. We are female relatives, so naturally we have to wear better clothes. , no matter how good the material is, it won't be able to keep you from dancing with swords every day."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He understands, to put it bluntly, they are not worthy!
He tugged at his sleeves, and then looked at the clothes he was wearing. He really didn't expect that this piece of clothing would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. If he knew the price earlier, he would have to argue with Su Rong. Why is this tens of thousands of taels of silver worth it? If you have to wear it on your body, although it looks good, but to be honest, he really doesn't deserve it.
When he was in Jiangzhou, he cleaned up Jiang Sheng's influence and made a move with others. He was also wearing a dress she gave him at that time. Fortunately, he only touched a few times and didn't tear it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so distressed now?
It seems that in the future when you fight with others, you have to take care not to damage the clothes on your body.
Zhou Gu suddenly felt that the clothes on his body were a bit of a sweet burden.
Mrs. Guogong said again: "Because you study in literature and study with you in the East Palace, the clothes your grandmother and I bought for you are more expensive than the materials worn by your brothers. The cheapest clothes on your body are three or four hundred taels of silver. The clothes on your brothers are basically around a hundred taels. Only a few are as expensive as you for attending the palace banquet."
The implication is that you are already the most favored one. Who knew that after a trip to Jiangning, you would dare to wear tens of thousands of taels of clothes on your body.
Really underestimated her son.
Zhou Gu was ashamed, and his voice lowered, "Then, that Xiaoqi made me three sets of such ready-made clothes in total. And those cloths that I brought back seem to have this kind of material inside, I don't know how many, I didn't look carefully."
Mrs. Guo took a deep breath, "Even if you don't know the exact price of this dress, since you know it's expensive, why did you charge so much all at once? How did you accept it with a lick of your face?"
Zhou Gu blushed, twisted his body, and explained the reason, "Xie Lin was also there at the time."
"What's the matter with Guan Xielin?" Mrs. Guo didn't understand his son's brain circuit.
Zhou Gu immediately raised his neck with a proud expression on his face, "Of course I want Xie Lin to watch with envy and hatred."
Mrs. Duke: "..."
Princess Sheng'an and the others: "..."
Zhou Gu whispered, "No."
Mrs. Duke's face darkened, "You can really feel at ease for asking your daughter's family to spend so much money on you. How did I educate you? Have you forgotten?"
Zhou Gu naturally didn't forget, and said in a smaller voice: "Afterwards, I said to pay her back. She said that since she gave it to me, she gave it to me. What's the matter if I make it up? Doesn't that mean she sold me clothes? That Jinxiu Pavilion has her shares, and she is also one of the owners."
He scratched his head, "She really gave me the clothes sincerely, how can I not give her face? Mom, didn't you tell me that you want to give the girl face? She obviously said to give it, so I have to force her to give her money, isn't it good?"
He said with a bit of momentum, "Besides, I don't have a lot of silver in my hand. Apart from the few thousand taels of silver I brought with me when I left Beijing, I didn't bring any other valuable things with me as a gift. I thought I had to come back and talk about it. Of course I can't ask for things for nothing. I won't wait until I come back. Ask grandma and you, is there anything good I can give her?"
Mrs. Duke's face turned pale when she heard the words, "It's also the same reason, you can think like this, you are not confused."
Zhou Gu pouted, wanting to say, "Of course I'm not confused." But after collecting so much clothes, which he thought were only tens of thousands of taels, he suddenly realized that the amount might be more than this, and it might be beyond his cognition, so he lost his momentum.
"Okay, have you brought back those clothes and cloth?" Princess Sheng'an stopped the Duke and Madam, not letting her teach Zhou Gu again.
"Bring it back." Zhou Gu nodded.
"Let people bring them all, let's take a look and see what good materials they are. If they are similar to yours, then what this little girl gave you is really generous." Princess Sheng'an said.
Zhou Gu nodded, "Let Zhou Xi deliver it."
When Mrs. Guo heard the news, she immediately ordered someone to send a message to Zhou Xi.
Not long after, Zhou Xi came to the yard of Princess Sheng'an, and at the same time brought Zhou Gu's clothes and cloth that were packed extremely tightly and well protected from Jiangning County.
The Duke’s wife asked Zhou Xi, "Boss Zhou, do you know how much the clothes on Brother Gu cost?"
Zhou Xi cupped his hands and nodded, "Return to Madam, I know. The clothes on the fourth son's body are rich in brocade and gold, and they are made by a top-class embroiderer. Such a piece will cost about a thousand gold, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Zhou Gu Wenyan glared at Zhou Xi, "Since you know the specific value, why didn't you remind me?"
Zhou Xi was wronged, "Fourth son, I reminded you, when Jinxiufang sent those cloths to your door that day, I thought they were extremely expensive when I saw them. After you returned home, I told you that these cloths are too expensive, and there are so many. Can you make Miss Seven spend so much money? You wave your hand and say it's okay."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He thought about it for a while, and there was such a thing, he said: "I thought that the most expensive clothes would not cost so much money."
Zhou Xi didn't know what to say, "I reminded you twice at the time, and you said you took everything away, let me put it away carefully..."
Zhou Gu was completely speechless, indeed, that was what he thought at the time, and he accepted everything.
Princess Sheng'an looked at Zhou Gu amusedly, and told Zhou Xi, "Open all these, let us have a look."
Zhou Xiying, afraid of being messed with by others, personally opened the packages one by one, arranged them in a row, and put them on the long table.
As the packages were opened one by one, there was the same sound of gasping all around.
Zhou Gu knew that he had done something wrong, so he couldn't sit still, but he thought in his heart that Su Rong's expression was so calm at that time, just like looking at ordinary things, and he didn't see her keep gasping for love, Xie Lin exclaimed twice, if Su Rong also showed such a shocked expression when he saw these fabrics like her mother and aunts, he must have tried his best to stop him at that time, and he would never be coaxed by her.
Princess Sheng'an is slightly better than everyone else, after all, she has seen too many good things, but also, she was shocked when she saw these fabrics, not one or two, but a pile.
She was supported by someone to stand up, approached the table, looked at all the fabrics one by one, and then turned to wave to Mrs. Guogong, "Come and see, you know all these fabrics, right? According to the current market price, what is the specific price, do the math."
The Duke’s wife nodded and came to the Grand Princess Sheng’an.
