Chapter 192 [I sell treasures, but do not charge money](1/2)

"The first bowl of loofah soup in autumn is elegant and fragrant. It symbolizes deep love and contains the slightest sweetness. This soup means sincerity and should be given to the beautiful woman. If you don't give it to the beautiful woman, you don't love it... A bowl of soup,

Fifty coins, shooting starts now, if you dare, please raise your sign!"

In the courtyard of the post station in Gujia Village, the lights were bright and bright, but the girl Tan Xiao was like a beauty under the moon, and she was introducing the first lot in a leisurely manner.

The words are very well said.

It's really heart-pounding.

Listen, the first bowl of loofah soup in autumn symbolizes deep sincerity and love. This thing must be given to the beautiful woman, otherwise it will not be able to express love at all.

There were hundreds of people in the courtyard, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an inexplicable weirdness.

Among the teams that came to congratulate this time, each family came with their female relatives and their legitimate sons. The female dependents were usually the head wives of the family, and the legitimate sons were usually the eldest sons of the family. In addition, there were also a large number of legitimate daughters.

This bowl of loofah soup, which is a so-called symbol of love, is used to harvest these gorgeous legitimate daughters.

Love!

Sincerely!

How heart-pounding.

How could a young girl with cardamom and youth resist this kind of temptation? When the bowl of loofah soup was brought out, the legitimate daughters already had an unyielding fighting spirit among themselves.

However, the atmosphere in the compound became even weirder.



For example, Li Shimin, who was sitting not far from the exhibition table, was sitting there blankly holding a pancake, his mouth wide open, obviously extremely shocked.

After a long time, Li Shimin turned to look at Gu Tianya, who was sitting on one side, and asked in a daze: "Luffa soup? Fifty coins? Are you crazy because of lack of money? Or do you think we women from the Tang Dynasty are fools?"

"

Gu Tianya smiled leisurely and did not care about Li Shimin's anger. Instead, he spoke slowly and said: "This is the first bowl of loofah soup in autumn, which symbolizes deep love and sincerity. What happened to fifty coins? Five hundred coins can still be sold...

…”

Li Shimin continued to be stunned. After a while, he raised the pancake in his hand and said, "I just bought this pancake from the night market. It is made of pure wheat flour and weighs at least half a catty. Take a bite and it will be fragrant, solid, and full."

, I only spent two pennies on such a big pancake. Even with my food intake, which has been in the army for many years, I can still be full after buying two pancakes!"

He paused for a moment, his tone became a little cold, and then said: "In addition to two pancakes, I also bought a bite of meat. Adding the two pancakes and meat together, do you know how much I spent in total?"

?”

Gu Tianya smiled slightly and said calmly: "I know the prices at the night market. You can buy these food for only ten cents at most."

"It's just ten cents!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, his tone became even colder, and said: "These ten cents can buy two cakes, plus a mouthful of delicious meat, so although I paid for the ten cents, I took it out willingly.

.I think this is not much, I think it is worth the price. Two pancakes weigh more than a pound, and more than a pound of wheat flour must be used when baking. Wheat is food, and it is the sweat beads of the common people falling on the ground.

It was obtained by smashing it into scraps. The value lies in it. You are innocent, but look at what you are selling? How dare you sell a bowl of loofah soup for fifty cents?"

Gu Tianya looked at him and said slowly: "To be precise, it's old loofah soup."

Li Shimin was startled immediately.

Gu Tianya smiled and said: "In order to show the exquisite taste of this bowl of soup, I specially asked Tan Xiao to pick an old loofah. Second brother, do you know why you use old loofah? Because the silken flesh is so old that it can't even be chewed.

It's not bad, but I can shape the interpretation. This unbreakable silken flesh can be said to be a symbol of love like a lotus root being cut off. After adding water and boiling it, it becomes a bowl of loofah soup that represents true love. I sold it for fifty cents because

It contains love.”

Li Shimin stuttered even when he spoke. It took him a long time to hold back a few words and said, "This is obviously boiled loofah."

Gu Tianya nodded and said with a smile: "Luffa is easy to find. It is everywhere on the lakeside outside the village. It is lush and green. Just pick any one. Water is also easy to find. The most important thing in Gujia Village is water, so the two

Brother, you are right, this is really a bowl of water-cooked loofah soup."

Li Shimin's face turned livid with anger and he said angrily: "This thing isn't even worth a penny."

Gu Tianya didn't shy away from it and said calmly: "But if you add the rhetoric, it's worth fifty cents."

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sweet laugh in the yard, but it was a lady from an official family who was so excited that she had successfully gotten the bowl of soup.

She didn't get the soup through bidding, but the eldest son of another family paid for it.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Gu Tianya next to him sighed, pointed over there and lowered his voice: "Second brother, did you see that the woman was smiling proudly and proudly? Look at the boy who gave the money. Doesn't his face droop with sorrow?

Head? This is because he felt helpless, but no matter how helpless he still paid, he had no choice but to please the beauty. I guess after he took out the fifty cents, he might be beaten by the elders of the family tonight.

.”

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, and saw a lady so angry that she actually slapped the young man.

The lady angrily scolded: "You brat, are you suffering from madness? How dare you spend fifty cents to buy such a bowl of loofah soup. This is not a matter of money, it is a matter of your brain."

Question. Kneel down for me and don’t get up for an hour.”

The young man received a slap, but he did not dare to reply. Instead, he knelt down and drooped his head with a bitter look on his face.

Snapped!

Suddenly there was another crisp sound, obviously another slap, but this slap was not from the lady hitting her son again, but surprisingly it was the mother of the official lady over there hitting her own daughter.

But she saw that she was also a noble lady. She was also very angry at this time and yelled: "Stinky girl, you are in disgrace. Because of you, the eldest son of the Liu family was punished by his mother in front of everyone. He has gold under his knees, but now he is

You have to kneel in front of everyone for an hour. He will be your husband-in-law from now on, how can you bear to do this to him? You, you, why don’t you kneel down and admit your mistake..."

The young lady's pretty face turned red. She obviously felt that she had lost face in such an occasion. She sobbed and defended, "Mom, this soup represents sincerity. Fifty cents is not expensive!"

"shit!"

The lady shouted angrily and said with a livid face: "If a bowl of loofah soup can represent sincerity, sincerity in this world is too worthless. How can a bowl of boiled loofah soup be worth fifty cents?"

"

The girl was still dissatisfied, sobbed and said: "It's only fifty cents, and it's not my daughter's own money."

"Isn't your future husband's money just money?"

The lady shouted again and said angrily: "Do you know how difficult it is to make money?"

She didn't wait for her daughter to refute, and continued: "The reason why your future husband-in-law was punished by his mother is because he wasted fifty cents. Although this money is indeed not much, no matter how small it is, it is still earned with painstaking efforts.

.Your uncle from the Liu family risked his life on the battlefield in order to earn the family fortune. This fifty cents is not much in your eyes, but it may have been earned by your uncle from the Liu family after being stabbed. And you are doing it for

A little vanity, just, just..."

The girl finally lowered her head.

However, the lady still did not let her go, and said again: "Your uncle Liu family worked hard to earn the family business, and your father worked equally hard. Now we look like a family of officials, and we look like the family has a big business, but

Have you ever thought that these family properties are earned by men with their lives? Girl, this is earned by men with their lives..."

She finally stopped talking and suddenly stood up and walked towards the other side.

That was where she said the Liu family was sitting, but when she saw the noble lady suddenly bending her knees and bowing solemnly, she said to another noble lady with a guilty look on her face: "Sister Liu family, my little sister is really ashamed of herself. It's my goddaughter who is so helpless.

, that made her do such ridiculous things. Please, for the sake of my little sister, spare your son the punishment. A good man should not lose his face in such public view."

Unexpectedly, the noble lady slowly shook her head and sighed: "Since ancient times, people have taught their children in front of them so that they can remember. Sister Xue family, please don't plead for him. I am punishing him now to make him remember."

But I’m not dissatisfied, but you shouldn’t let your daughter be punished in front of others. How can a girl endure this lesson? Let her get up quickly, so as not to get into trouble with her thoughts..."

The two ladies tried to comfort each other, but neither of them could persuade the other.

Li Shimin, who was not far away, nodded slowly, and finally there was a smile on his face. Gu Tianya next to him chuckled, nodded equally and said: "This is the woman of the Tang Dynasty. She knows how to be diligent and thrifty, and manages the home and is considerate of men. She is not vain, she knows

Life is not easy, even if you have become a wealthy family, you still don’t forget the hardships of making money. Haha, not bad!”

Li Shimin was startled for a moment, then thoughtfully said, "So you sell loofah soup on purpose."

Gu Tianya smiled again and said, "It's just a lesson. I've always been a teacher."

He suddenly stood up and walked straight over there. Then, under the surprised eyes of the two ladies, he leaned over and looked at the kneeling Liu eldest son, and asked warmly: "How old are you this year?"

The young man's face was red and his ears were red, and he obviously failed to react when he heard the words. Even his mother was also stunned because of the suddenness.

On the contrary, the lady of the Xue family was full of surprise, and she replied hastily with a trembling voice: "Gu...Mr. Gu, my son-in-law is fifteen years old this year."

Gu Tianya nodded and suddenly asked: "So how old is your daughter this year?"

The lady of the Xue family replied with an even more trembling tone, trying to suppress her anxiety and said: "Reporting to Mr. Gu, my daughter is also fifteen years old this year."

"You are only fifteen years old. When do you plan to get married?"

"Reporting to Mr. Gu, I will be ready to win the lottery next spring..."

"Well, you are too young and you are getting married too early. If you are willing, can you delay the time a little bit?"

"Gu...Mr. Gu, what do you mean..."

"Haha, I was just watching from a distance and saw two ladies teaching their children. Suddenly, I felt itchy and wanted to be a master."

The whole place stood stunned.

The two ladies were so happy that they were silly.
To be continued...
