Shen Ningsi could understand why women in this era became concubines in order to survive.
But she couldn't understand why their family was so arrogant? She brought Yun'er to buy things and didn't bother the woman.
"Hmph, I won't argue with an ignorant village woman like you! Shopkeeper, look at how poor they look. They really lower my standards! I was originally thinking of buying two gilded hairpins for my sister, but forget it now. I'm going to the Yuhua Pavilion across the street!"
"Being in the same shop with a gossipy woman like you really lowers my status!"
Just as Shen Ningsi was about to open his mouth to refute the other party, Gu Hong's cold voice came from the stairs.
The next moment, Sanyazi came to the woman and slapped her twice.
These two slaps were so real that blood immediately flowed from the corner of the woman's mouth.
"Ah... murder..."
A sound like slaughtering a pig came out of her mouth, and the next moment, two teeth fell out of her mouth.
The shopkeeper didn't expect something like this to happen.
Whether it is Sanyazi or Gu Hong, it seems that he cannot afford to offend them!
“This…this…this…”
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on the shopkeeper's forehead.
"I'm going to report you to the authorities! I'm going to have my brother-in-law exile all of you to the frontier, especially you, a village woman. I'm going to sell you and your daughter to a brothel, where you'll be ridden by thousands of men and slept with by tens of thousands! You'll be left with neither life nor death!"
The woman was talking while exuding her dew to the wind.
"Hmph, judging by your tone, you think this county government office is your own? If you want to exile us to the borderland, then just send us there!"
Gu Hong glanced at the woman with blood in her mouth with a sinister look, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The woman whom he held in his mouth for fear of melting and in his hands for fear of dropping was actually mocked and insulted by such a village woman!
I really don’t know how to write the word death!
"Humph! Are you scared now? It's too late! Boss, please go to the county government office and report that I've been bullied here. I'll see how my brother-in-law gets here and kills these ignorant bastards!"
The shopkeeper didn't move when he heard her say this. He had been running this jewelry shop for decades and had seen all kinds of people.
Whether it was the woman with the child or the two men who just walked up, it was obvious that they were not people to be trifled with.
"No need to go to all that trouble! San Yazi, take my badge and bring the county magistrate here! Damn it, I want to see if this bastard official dares to abuse his power!"
Gu Hong said with a cold face that if the other party was really a corrupt official, he wouldn't mind replacing him with another county magistrate!
Sanyazi nodded, took Gu Hong's badge and left.
"Hmph, don't bluff in front of me!"
When the woman saw Sanyazi leave, she instantly became much braver.
The shopkeeper sighed inwardly when he saw this scene. It seemed that this woman was going to be in trouble today.
"Shut up! If you keep talking, I'll cut off your tongue."
The next moment, Gu Hong drew out his dagger and looked at the woman with murderous eyes.
The woman could clearly feel that he was not just talking.
The jewelry shop suddenly became quiet.
"Sisi, Yun'er, buy whatever you like! I'll check out."
Gu Hong took two steps at a time and walked up to them, then reached out and held Yun'er in his arms.
"Then I won't be polite, shopkeeper. I want to buy a silver clove for the child, and some gold jewelry. Bring out all the nice ones you have."
Shen Ningsi would not be so stupid as not to spend his money.
The shopkeeper nodded immediately when he heard her say this and told the waiter to bring over some of the most beautiful gold jewelry in the shop.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard again at the stairs. A hint of surprise appeared in the woman's eyes. She thought her reinforcements had arrived!
But what caught my eye were two half-grown boys, holding two babies in their arms.
"Mom, San Yazi saw us just now and asked us to bring An An and Kang Kang up."
Gu Xiuwen walked in front of Shen Ningsi holding Kang Kang.
"Well, you guys can sit here with An An and Kang Kang in your arms first."
Shen Ningsi felt that it was not a problem at all to hold two children in her arms. She went back to think about how to get a stroller, which would make it much more convenient to go out.
After a while, the waiter brought in many exquisite boxes filled with jewelry of all sizes.
The woman's eyes were as if filled with poison as she stared at the family, waiting for the county magistrate to come and make them pay back tenfold or a hundredfold!
"Wow, Mom, this bracelet is so beautiful! It even has a bell on it!"
Gu Yuner fell in love with a gold bracelet at first sight. It looked like something a child would wear.
"Well, Yun'er, you have a really good eye. Since our Yun'er likes it, let's buy it!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, the waiter was very discerning and wanted to wrap up the gold bracelet.
"No need to pack it."
Shen Ningsi took the gold bracelet from the shop assistant and slowly put it on Gu Yuner's wrist.
Then she gently shook her arm, and the crisp sound of bells rang out.
Gu Yuner's face was instantly filled with smiles.
She picked out a few more pieces of gold and silver jewelry before looking away.
Just as the shopkeeper was about to serve them tea, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard again at the stairs.
Sanyazi came up first, followed by Fan Xing, who had not been seen for many days.
Next came a middle-aged man in his thirties, still wearing official uniform, and a group of yamen runners surrounded the corridor.
The moment the woman saw the middle-aged man, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face. She ran over in a hurry, talking in a sob.
Shen Ningsi understood that she was complaining.
The next moment, the county magistrate slapped her hard in the face, adding new wounds to the old ones, and the woman was stunned for a moment!
"Idiot!" The county magistrate felt that he had suffered an unprovoked disaster!
"General Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to still be so angry. Come, have a bowl of cold tea to cool down!"
Fan Xing picked up the teacup on the table and placed it in front of Gu Hong.
Today he went to the county government office and was discussing something with the county magistrate when Sanyazi rushed in from outside.
After learning the whole story, Fan Xing also followed, wanting to watch the excitement and protect the county magistrate.
"Oh, I dare not drink the tea offered by Lord Fan. Let's give it to that noble lady. She is the elder sister of the county magistrate's third concubine."
Gu Hong thanked him coldly, and he did not take the tea from Fan Xing's hand, because today, he came to support Shen Ningsi!
Fan Xing's hands couldn't help but tremble!
"this……"
The county magistrate was so frightened that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
