Chapter 372 373. Going to the Street
As soon as Gu Wenheng entered the room, he saw Jin Qianqian packing a jewelry box.
"Why are you cleaning all these?" Gu Wenheng walked over and took a look. Many of them had never been worn.
“Although I prepared some jewelry for my mother before, it’s still too thin for her in the capital. I want to find two sets for the old lady to match her clothes first, and then take her out to buy tomorrow.
Come and see which one is more suitable? I am overwhelmed by the choices. "
Gu Wenheng pointed at a set and said, "The gemstone on this one is darker in color. You've been busy all day. You can worry about these things tomorrow."
Jin Qianqian covered the jewelry box and put it aside. "I'm afraid I'll be busy tomorrow and forget about it, so I'll put the things out first. I also had my eyes on this set before, and I didn't expect that we have the same taste."
Gu Wenheng put his arms around her waist from behind, "This shows that we are in tune with each other. You have been taking care of the old lady all day. Now it's time for you to accompany me, right?"
Jin Qianqian turned around and hugged Gu Wenheng back, "Oh..., are you going to accompany me like this?"
Gu Wenheng's eyes were deep, "What do you think..."

Jin Qianqian didn't expect Gu Yuanshui to be so proactive. Gu Wenheng had just mentioned it to her in the morning, and he had already started taking action.
After finishing breakfast, he took Jiang Mili, who was temporarily assigned to him by Gu Wenheng, and started looking for a venue all over Kyoto.
She just looked at Gu Lehuan, but unexpectedly Gu Lehuan said that he was going out to visit a friend.
Jin Qianqian supported Li Cuicui and said, "Mom, it's just the two of us today. I'll take you to Shangjing for a tour."
"That's fine," Li Cuicui said cheerfully, "Then I have to take a good look at the emperor's feet, and show off to the old ladies in the village when I go back."
Jin Qianqian, "...Mom, aren't you afraid that they won't talk to you anymore in the future?"
Li Cuicui, "They won't. They all came from hard times. Now that life is better, they have all become more open-minded.
When I was young, I would be jealous, but at our age, I just want someone to talk to and have a companion. "
Although some people still have some comparisons in their hearts, but to her, these people don't even want to say sarcastic words now, because she has so many promising sons, they can't be jealous.
"That's great," Jin Qianqian was somewhat envious of such a retirement life, with someone to keep her company and talk to, "No wonder mother doesn't like this place anymore."
Li Cuicui looked around the yard. "As the saying goes, a home is worse than your own. The older I get, the less I like to move."
It was time for Gu Benluo to go to class. The maids were waiting nearby. He came over and bowed to the old lady, "Grandma, you and mother can go shopping. I am going to school now."
"This," Li Cuicui looked at Jin Qianqian in surprise, her eyes full of blame, "How come the child is so young and already enrolled in school?"
Jin Qianqian, "This is all my husband's idea. I also think it's a bit early, but I can't persuade him."
Gu Wenheng: "..." You should try to persuade her.
"I'll talk to him when I get back," Li Cuicui said through gritted teeth as she watched the little kid leave, "It's too outrageous for a kid this old to still be playing in the mud in our countryside."
Jin Qianqian, "...Mom, the gentleman my husband found also brought two children who are about the same age as Luo Luo. They are actually just learning something while playing."
They had considered many things before letting Mr. Gu Benluo in so early.
At his current age, if it were modern times, he would have already entered kindergarten.
Now that Gu Benluo is following Mr. Cen, most of the time he lets the three children play together and learn things together, which does not put much burden on the children.
Didn’t you see that little Luo Luo is now extremely active in the yard next door? Jin Qianqian doesn’t even have to worry about him, as he can control the time himself.
"This is more like it. You have to remember that such a young child should not be overworked." Li Cuicui didn't want the seventh brother and his wife to have too high expectations of their child or to push him too hard.
Jin Qianqian, "Of course, Luo Luo will only stay there for half a day, and will come back to have lunch and sleep later."
"This is better. I originally thought I could take him to the street with me, but wait, I can only buy something for him." Li Cuicui touched the silver in her arms. She came in such a hurry that she had no time to prepare anything for the child.
Jin Qianqian followed suit, "Mom, you buy things for the child, what about mine?"
"Yes, we have everything. What do you want? You can choose it yourself later. Mother has money." Li Cuicui said with a smile, "I came here to do some big shopping. It's a rare opportunity to come to Beijing, so I need to prepare a lot of things.
The old sisters at home don’t need to give away any valuable things, as long as they can bring something back from here, it will be enough to make them happy.”
When Jin Qianqian saw the housekeeper come in, she knew that the carriage was ready, and she took the old lady to start her journey to Beijing.
Jin Qianqian knew that the old lady was curious about every place in Shangjing, so she asked the coachman to drive around the walls of the imperial palace before taking her to experience the hustle and bustle of Shangjing.
"Mom, the shop in front has beautiful flowers that were tributed to the palace. The patterns are not that new, but the quality of workmanship is impeccable. You can buy them as gifts." Jin Qianqian watched the driver slowly park the carriage to the side and helped Li Cuicui get out.
"Shangjing is really prosperous. There are so many people everywhere you go," Li Cuicui couldn't take her eyes off the place as soon as she stood on the ground.
The shops here are really beautiful, colorful, and all kinds of beautiful flowers fill the entire wall, which is enough to make people dazzled.
"Mom, let's go in and take a look." Jin Qianqian supported Li Cuicui and was about to walk in, but unexpectedly someone stopped her.
"Mrs. Niu Er," Jin Qianqian was a little surprised to meet Yu Lu, the second wife of Niu Er from the Taifu Mansion here.
"Madam Gu, are you here to buy some beautiful flowers?" Niu Yu looked at Li Cuicui, "Who is this?"
"This is my mother-in-law. She just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and I brought her out for a walk." Jin Qianqian had met Madam Niu Er several times at banquets. Although they couldn't be said to have a deep friendship, at least they could talk to each other.
"How are you, old lady? I, Niu Yu, send my regards to you!" Niu Yu greeted her politely, which frightened Li Cuicui so much that she quickly returned the greeting, "Good, well! You too! Well!"
Niu Yu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "This shop is my dowry. If the old lady finds it suitable, she can put it on my account."
Jin Qianqian suddenly remembered that Niu Yu’s family was also an imperial merchant, but she didn’t expect it to be Juanhua.
"This is not good. I can't take advantage of you." Li Cuicui waved her hands quickly. Even if she was ignorant of etiquette, she couldn't embarrass her son and daughter-in-law at this critical moment.
