Chapter 115 Wolf Hair Brush
When they arrived at the market, Shen Jinan held Mingzi's hand, Gu Yanqing held Huanhuan in one hand and Suisui in the other, and the five of them walked on the street.
Because of their outstanding appearance, they attracted a lot of people's attention, and many young men and women on the street were looking at the Gu couple.
Gu Yanqing really didn't like it when a man looked at Shen Jinan, so she quickly stepped forward to block Shen Jinan's petite body.
"What's wrong, husband?"
Shen Jinan was stunned and hadn't realized that someone was looking at him. He looked up at Gu Yanqing with an innocent look on his face.
"Nothing."
Gu Yanqing spoke lightly. He didn't want to admit that he was jealous, and he was jealous of passers-by!
If this were said out loud, people would just laugh their heads off.
When Shen Jinan heard him say this, he naturally didn't take it to heart, and his attention was focused on the stalls and shops on the roadside.
At this time, the peddler's shouting sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
Huanhuan's big eyes froze when she saw the grinding music in the peddler's hand.
"Daddy, can Huanhuan have one of those?"
Huanhuan tugged at Gu Yanqing's collar with her chubby little hands and asked cautiously.
Gu Yanqing followed her gaze, understood what was going on, and walked over with the two children.
"How much is this Mohele?" Gu Yanqing still had a lot of silver in his hand, which he earned from writing letters and copying books for others. Most of it was given to Shen Jinan, and he only kept a part for himself.
"My dear, you have good taste. This piece of music is only ten cents a piece. It is as cute as your little girl."
The peddler used his eloquent tongue to blow the clay doll in his hand up to the sky, and praised Sui Sui Huan Huan vigorously.
"Give me a running-in music." Gu Yanqing handed over ten copper coins with his bony hands.
The peddler smiled happily, quickly took the money and handed the grinding music to Huanhuan. Huanhuan happily took it and kissed Gu Yanqing on the face.
"Daddy is the best daddy!"
Huanhuan's little mouth was as tender as a flower petal, and Gu Yanqing's heart was blossoming.
"What about mother? Is she good to you?"
Shen Jinan suddenly took out three strings of candied haws and gave one to each of the children.
"Mother too!" Huanhuan had a face full of sweet soup, and she didn't forget to give Shen Jinan a taste.
As they were walking, they unexpectedly met Li Chunhua and others. The stall selling fragrant braised food was almost full, and Li Chunhua and the two ladies were very busy.
Shen Jinan waited until there were fewer people around before stepping forward, "Aunt, Madam Zhou and Madam Zhang, how are you feeling today? Are you adapting?"
Seeing that the person coming was Shen Jinan, Li Chunhua opened her mouth in surprise, and then saw her own Mingzi being held by Shen Jinan, with a string of candied haws in his hand.
"Doctor Shen, why are you here? Business is booming. Madam Zhou and Madam Zhang have gotten started quickly and have already sold ten kilograms."
Li Chunhua smiled cheerfully and looked at Mingzi again, "Mingzi, why didn't you study hard with Teacher Gu? Why did you follow your aunt out here?"
Mingzi shrank back behind Shen Jinan in fear. After all, Li Chunhua's boldness was not exaggerated.
"I took my family to the market today, and I was worried that Mingzi wouldn't be safe at home alone, so I brought him out to play. It's not good for a child to stay cooped up in the house all day."
Shen Jinan touched Mingzi's head and explained gently.
Li Chunhua then saw Gu Yanqing standing behind him with Sui Sui Huan Huan. "So that's how it is. I'm sorry to have caused trouble for Doctor Shen. Why don't you let Mingzi stay with me? I'll take him back with me later."
"Mingzai, are you willing?" Shen Jinan looked at Mingzai, who nodded while holding up the candied haws.
"I want to stay with my mother. Wherever she goes, I will go."
His determined little face made Li Chunhua's nose sore. She didn't expect that this boy was so conscientious.
"Okay, then you follow mother." Shen Jinan patted his shoulder gently, watched him trot to Li Chunhua, and raised the candied haws for Li Chunhua to eat.
After saying goodbye to Li Chunhua and others, Shen Jinan continued to visit the market with Sui Sui Huanhuan and Gu Yanqing.
Most of the New Year's goods had been purchased before, and Shen Jinan brought his family here this time to buy some things he liked.
"Sui Sui Huan Huan, is there anything you want?"
Shen Jinan looked at the two children and asked gently.
Her serious profile was coated with a soft glow by the warm winter sun, and Gu Yanqing's gaze was fixed on her.
"No, mother, Huanhuan likes everything mother gives her."
Huanhuan grabbed the chubby little hand and said happily.
"Okay then, what about Suisui? Is there anything she wants?" Shen Jinan looked at Suisui, who was much more stable than Huanhuan. He was wearing a green straight shirt, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were 50% similar to Gu Yanqing.
"Mom, I want a wolf-hair brush." Sui Sui hesitated for a long time before finally expressing his wish.
The pen he used for calligraphy practice was always broken by his excessive force. He heard that the wolf-hair brush was firm and elastic, and the words written with it were stable.
"Okay, then let's go buy a wolf-hair brush!"
Shen Jinan waved his hand and agreed generously, then took the two dumplings and Gu Yanqing into Qingzhuzhai.
Qingzhuzhai is the only shop in town that sells pens, ink, paper, inkstones and secretarial books. As the year draws to a close, business is booming.
When the shop assistant saw the family come in, he looked at their coarse clothes, felt contempt in his heart, and ran to greet other customers.
"Hey, buddy, do you have a wolf-hair brush?"
Shen Jinan asked politely, but the guy pretended not to hear and only spoke after Shen Jinan asked for the third time.
"Can't you find it yourself? Can't you see I'm busy? Why would a country bumpkin buy a wolf-hair brush?"
The guy was very impatient and rolled his eyes at Shen Jinan.
Gu Yanqing's face immediately darkened, and he stepped forward to protect Shen Jinan, "If you don't have it, then don't. Why are you slandering my wife for no reason? It's better not to buy it."
His voice was sonorous and powerful, attracting many people's attention. Although he was dressed in plain clothes, his extraordinary demeanor and appearance could not be concealed.
Everyone immediately pointed the finger at the waiter and blamed him.
"Why are the guys at Qingzhuzhai still ordering dishes based on the food? How rude!"
"Forget it, it's already expensive, so I don't want to buy it anymore."
"Speaking of which, this jade-faced young man is rare, and the lady behind him is also quite good-looking."
Seeing everyone criticizing him, the waiter blushed and explained, "I'm just helping the boss with his business. They can't afford it anyway, and you still don't want to let me say anything?"
“Who says we can’t afford it?”
Shen Jinan took out a heavy silver ingot from the system and slammed it on the counter. Her face turned cold, and her stunning face was extremely beautiful.
"Call your host out! There's no right to humiliate guests like this!"
Every word she said was powerful, and her aura naturally frightened the waiter, who no longer dared to call the boss out.
"I am the owner of Qingzhuzhai, why are you so angry, young lady?"
A young man's voice sounded, and everyone's eyes turned over.
