The two of them still had some shopping to do today. They didn't take the clothes they bought away, but left their address and had the clerk deliver the goods to their door.
"This is really convenient." Lan An felt a little emotional. In this world, even buying clothes can be so thoughtful.
Chu Qiuze didn't have any other feelings. If he bought a small amount, he would just pick it up himself, but if he bought a large amount, it would be more convenient to have someone deliver it.
What's more, it's still early today and there are so many things to buy, it would be troublesome to carry them all.
"Let's go." Chu Qiuze thought that Lan An was still wearing underwear that didn't fit her, so he pulled Lan An into a big-brand underwear store.
As we all know, the posters of lingerie stores are relatively sexy, and the one they went to had both men's and women's clothing.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge poster. The men and women on the poster have excellent figures and looks, but they are only wearing underwear. For ancient people, what is the difference between this and being naked?
In particular, Lan An learned from the poster that the various triangular pieces of fabric hanging in the store were women's underwear and bras that were easy to wear.
These are all women's intimate items.
How can it be hung so blatantly in the store?
It's so indecent. And the big photo at the door, can't they take photos without clothes? Is the world really so unrestrained?
For a moment, Lan An didn't know where to put his eyes.
In the end, he could only wear a hat and a mask, lower his head, look at his feet, and be led by Chu Qiu Ze to the men's underwear area.
Chu Qiu Ze looked at a few standard styles on the shelf and was about to ask the waiter to get new ones, but suddenly he felt playful and picked up a pair of leopard-print underwear and compared it with Lan Euan's crotch.
"Blue friend, what do you think of this?"
Blue Gum: “…”
He looked at the strange leopard print and the triangular shape of the underwear, and after a long pause, he uttered two words: "Not good."
As he spoke, he pointed to a few pairs of dark boxer shorts and said, "These are it!"
After a pause, he leaned close to Chu Qiuze's ear and asked softly, "Is there no need to try this on?"
"Pfft~!" Chu Qiuze laughed so hard that his body was shaking. From the moment he entered the room, he followed Lan An so closely that his whole body stiffened.
Perhaps some people find it hard to accept choosing underwear in public.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Chu Qiuze pointed at the ones Lan An was looking at and the ones he liked, and said to the clerk who followed him, "These are the ones, each in two sizes."
Needless to say, you can tell why I bought two sizes.
Now that couple outfits have been arranged, shouldn’t couple underwear be arranged as well?
The clerk is also smart. She has been working for many years and can accurately tell the size of the customer just by looking at the customer's body shape.
After observing it from front to back, he had an idea in mind and quickly took out the unopened box from the warehouse.
"Gentlemen, would you like to choose something else?" The clerk came with a basket containing the underwear they had just selected.
"Do you want to buy anything else?" Chu Qiu Ze asked Lan An.
This lingerie shop doesn't just sell underwear, it also sells thermal underwear and other things.
But Lan An didn't know that and just wanted to buy it out quickly.
"Buy two sets of warm underwear for Anbei." Chu Qiuze took the initiative to care about the lady, "Please get me two sets of warm underwear for three-year-old girls."
It was very cold in ancient times. Although there were floor heating systems in the palace, people could never stay at home.
The few times Chu Qiu Ze went to the palace to visit Xiao Dou Ding, Xiao Dou Ding was always wearing very thick clothes, almost wrapped up like a ball. It was inconvenient for him to move because of the thick clothes.
Lan An's heart softened. He treated An Bei as his own daughter and raised her. He had discussed this issue with Chu Qiu Ze before, and Chu Qiu Ze also accepted it.
After all, they can't have their own children, so there's nothing wrong with having a ready-made, caring little cotton-padded jacket.
But Lan An didn't expect Chu Qiu Ze to care so much about An Bei.
The shopping guide took the two people to the children's area in confusion, thinking, these two people must be a couple, why do they have a child?
I'm afraid one of them got married and had a child. This is too disgusting.
Her high professionalism prevented her from revealing any emotion, but Lan An still sensed something from her fleeting look.
He was a little confused, but he didn't ask now. He planned to ask Chu Qiu Ze after he got out of the house. Otherwise, he didn't know if he would end up making a fool of himself.
After paying, the two of them carried their underwear and pants, which were not heavy, away.
As soon as he walked out the door, Lan An told Chu Qiuze that he saw contempt in the clerk's eyes.
Chu Qiuze's handsome brows wrinkled. He did not hide his relationship with Lan An. The employees in these stores are well-educated and should not discriminate against homosexuals.
“When did you see it?”
"When I was talking about buying clothes for Anbei."
Chu Qiuze thought about it, then changed his mind and said uncertainly: "Maybe she thinks you are a gay who is cheating on you?"
Lan An didn't know what marriage fraud was and couldn't understand English.
Chu Qiuze explained it again: "There are many men who like the same sex. In order to have a child, they hide their sexual orientation, find a woman to marry and have a child, and then divorce when the child is weaned. This is marriage fraud."
Lan An also frowned. Such a person is really shameless.
"Don't worry, I won't."
Chu Qiuze was almost stunned by the sudden assurance, but he burst into laughter after he came to his senses.
Of course he knew that Lan An would not do that. Given Lan An's status in Dahan, many people were lining up to have children with him, but Lan An was still a bachelor at the age of 30.
Moreover, according to Lan An's rule that he would not have a wedding night before getting married, he was absolutely certain that Lan An was still a virgin!
Chu Qiuze stood on tiptoe and kissed Lan An openly through the mask to show that he believed in him.
This action attracted the attention of passers-by.
"Let's go, let's go!" Chu Qiuze succeeded in stealing the scent of Lan An and continued to stroll with her.
Seeing that she had bought most of the things she needed, Lan An was thinking about picking out gifts for her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
But Chu Qiu Ze didn't think so. It was still early.
Moreover, he felt that if Lan Euan came to live here regularly in the future, he would lack many things!
I want to buy a piece of Blue Eucalyptus for everything I see, and I almost want to move the entire shopping mall back home.
It was also the first time that Chu Qiuze knew that he could actually go shopping so well. It was not until his legs, which had just recovered, began to weaken that he decided to find a place to rest.
"Shall we go over here and take a look?" Lan An suddenly spoke.
Before, Chu Qiuze always dragged Lan An to go shopping. Wherever Chu Qiuze went, Lan An would follow him. From beginning to end, she never raised any opinions or requests.
Chu Qiuze looked in the direction Lan An pointed and saw a gold shop.
He tilted his head in confusion. Did Lan Euan still need to buy gold? Did he still need gold?
Maybe you want to buy some jewelry for your aunt or mom?
But Chu Qiu Ze always felt that this kind of popular gold jewelry was a bit tacky, but this was the first request made by Lan An, and he had no reason not to satisfy it.
I happened to take a rest on the sofa in the store.
"Let's go." Chu Qiuze pulled him over.
The salesperson at the door saw that both of them had their hands full of shopping bags. Were they out doing some shopping before the New Year?
These were two big money sponsors, so he greeted them enthusiastically.
After entering the store, Chu Qiuze went straight to the sofa and collapsed as soon as he sat on it. "Look at it yourself? I'll take a break. Call me if you have any questions."
Lan An knew that Chu Qiu Ze was tired at the moment and probably felt discomfort in his legs.
He squatted down and gently pressed Chu Qiuze's calf: "Do you want to go back? We don't want to go shopping today."
“No, no.” Chu Qiuze shook his head. After collecting gratitude points during this period of time, his legs were almost the same as those of a normal person. It was just that he walked for a long time and got tired more easily than ordinary people.
Lan An stared at him for a few seconds, as if to confirm whether he had any problems.
There are no big problems. Chu Qiuze waved his hand and said, "Go and have a look. Don't rush back. I'll tell you if there are any problems."
Lan An then walked towards the counter, looking back every few steps.
He didn't want to buy gold. Just like Chu Qiuze said, he had no shortage of gold.
But he knew that gold could circulate in this world, and he knew that he had spent a lot of money to buy so many things today.
But he had no concrete idea of those thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. This was different from the Dahan currency. In addition, since it was electronic payment, he had even less idea.
Now he has to figure out the money conversion rate between the two worlds, so as to judge his own worth in Dahan and what kind of life he can live in this world.
"What would you like to see, handsome guy?" The person who greeted Lan An was a middle-aged lady with wrinkles on her heavily made-up face from smiling.
Lan An looked inside the transparent counter and saw gold earrings, gold rings, gold necklaces, and some jewelry that she couldn't name, all of which were very exquisite.
"How much is this gold per pound?" Lan An's mind was still calculating the measurement method of 500 grams per pound in this era, and he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his question.
He never stopped talking until his words shocked everyone. The lady at the counter was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
Normal customers would ask how much gold is per gram. How could someone ask how much gold is per pound?
If she hadn't seen them carrying shopping bags full of international brands when they walked in, she would have suspected that they were here to cause trouble.
Lan An didn't hear a reply for a while, so he looked up and asked, "But what's wrong?"
"Ahem." The lady at the counter cleared her throat. "Sir, gold is usually sold by gram. Each of these gold ornaments only weighs a few grams to dozens of grams. There is no ornament weighing a pound. If you need it, there are gold bars weighing one or two taels."
Blue Gum: “…”
He realized that he had said something wrong and corrected himself immediately: "I just said something wrong. I was asking how much per gram."
Knowing how much one gram of gold sells for is equivalent to getting the answer you want.
The lady at the counter heaved a sigh of relief and quickly explained to him the gold price of the day and the additional labor cost for the appraisal of each piece of jewelry.
He roughly calculated that one gram of blue eucalyptus is about 500 yuan, so the gold in his room must weigh several thousand kilograms.
After thinking about the money he had spent today and converting it into the price of gold, he had a certain understanding of the prices in this world.
If the gold in the palace were sold, it would be worth a lot of money. It seemed that he was not completely penniless in this world.
He did some calculations again and decided that if his mother wanted to stay in this world, he would divide his assets into three parts.
One portion will be given to my mother to buy a house first, and the rest should be enough for my mother to live a good life in this world and enjoy her old age.
The second part will be added to the betrothal gift when proposing to Chu Qiu Ze in the future. He plans to use the highest standard of the Dahan royal family for the betrothal gift, and with the addition of this gold money, it should not be too shabby.
As for the third part, he thought it would be the capital for him to start his own business in this world.
If Chu Qiu Ze knew what Lan An was thinking, he would probably laugh at him again. He was not short of money, so why did he need Lan An to sell gold to support his life?
