Chapter 288 Interesting Stories about Purchasing
When he returned home from Jiying Lane, not to mention Gu Wenxuan, who was afraid of the heat, even Zhou Banxia, who usually didn't sweat much, was sweating profusely after half a day.
Zhou Banxia was not surprised that the man who had been told to go out by the concierge had not returned yet.
The huge Zhending Mansion and the commercial district in the south of the city alone cannot be visited in one day; secondly, everyone is very particular about people.
People are poor but their aspirations are not poor.
Even the two uncles with the lowest financial resources would not have gone out of their way to eat and then go out just to save money on a meal.
His underwear was wet and he felt very uncomfortable. He went back to his room and took out a change of clothes for Gu Wenxuan to take a shower. Zhou Banxia also quickly slipped into the bathroom to wash himself.
"I'm alive now. It's strange, I think. I seemed to have survived the hot weather before, but why am I so squeamish now?"
no the same.
When it’s extremely hot, whoever goes out during the day should wear adjustable cooling safety clothing even when going out at night.
The temperature at noon was at least 40 degrees, and we had walked a lot, so the two couldn't be compared.
Gu Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, "Are you in poor health?"
"Impossible!" Zhou Banxia immediately flashed his biceps and showed off his muscles, "Take a good look, I think it must be because he is wearing layers and layers of clothes."
"Well, I can't help it. I can't let you go out on the street wearing a vest and shorts. Don't even think about it. Men's clothes are not allowed either. Look at how many pieces I wear when I go out."
Zhou Banxia secretly curled her lips, held up the bowl of the sea, which was bigger than her face, with both hands, and took two big sips of clear soup.
"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke."
"No, I feel comfortable."
But when I'm full of soup, I don't need to eat anymore. Gu Wenxuan glanced at her sideways and quickly moved the ocean bowl further away, "Just stay at home this afternoon."
"No, I still want you to accompany me to the bank, and then go there to see if there is good paper and paint.
This is a province after all, so there should be more good things than a capital city. ”
It made sense. Gu Wenxuan shook his head and smiled. While picking up the food for her, he thought that it would be nice to go together. When Zhiming came back, the carriage would be spacious.
It's not like a rented carriage. The roof of the carriage is thin and even the windows are very narrow. It seems airtight. It's like a steamer inside on a hot day.
It was not too late for the two of them to come back. The couple hadn't finished their lunch yet, so they drove the carriage back.
The two freshly made carriages are still not very grand on the outside, but they are very spacious on the inside.
The thickened car panels can protect against cold and reduce the stuffiness inside caused by sun exposure.
There are fixed seats on both sides of a carriage carriage, and there is a bed at the back where you can lie down and rest.
There was only one bed in the other carriage carriage, which was convenient for long journeys.
There are drawers and boxes of different specifications on the walls of the two carriages for easy access to things, and there are also foldable small tables.
Let Zhi Ming and the others take a short rest first. After dinner, Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia found gauze curtains, car curtains, cushions, couch cushions, pillows, carpets, tea sets, and a small red clay stove.
Let the Gu Dahua family's leaders install, spread and fix the carriages one by one according to the positions reserved by the master of the carriage workshop.
After lunch break, I went out at noon.
Sit on it and try it.
The shock-proof ability on the road is good. When I ran around outside the city on the way, the wind was strong and cool, and the ride was stable.
Sure enough, you can't underestimate people.
The master who dares to specialize in making carriages and boasts that he can't find a better anti-vibration carriage in Dingfu is really quite capable.
This money is well spent. After running around for a while, I exchanged cash for cash while exchanging copper coins at the bank, asked one of the carriages to take the copper coins back, and continued shopping nearby.
Seeing that it was almost the time agreed with Dajiang Xiaohe, Zhou Banxia grabbed Gu Wenxuan, who was in great spirits and kept buying things for her.
It's not that she's showing off, she really has a lot of jewelery on her hands.
Just like the summer clothing materials in these cloth stores, she has a lot of the best materials.
Among them were gifts from Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Zhou and her aunt, plus those given as gifts by several families in Fucheng, so there were a lot of them.
What's more, for her summer clothes this year, her aunt had already bought two large wooden boxes of summer clothes for her from the inside out, and she couldn't even fit them through.
"Silly."
"Hey."
"More stupid."
When they arrived at the teahouse where they agreed to meet, they didn't see the two little brothers, but they saw the little book boy already waiting for them at the teahouse.
Hearing that Dajiang Xiaohe had a simple meal in the afternoon and went to one of the bookstores to continue reading, Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan teasingly.
The two little guys are much smarter than him, and they also know how to read before reading, unlike when he was in Fucheng, who just finished reading and left on an empty stomach.
Can it be the same?
Since the two little brothers were still reading in the bookstore and it was early, Gu Wenxuan had no intention of disturbing them. He might as well accompany his wife to see if there was good paper and paint.
Let the little book boy continue to wait with Zhiming in the teahouse. If he and his wife haven't come back after an hour, it won't be too late to go and inform Dajiang Xiaohe.
If he had let the two little brothers know that he and his wife had arrived first, there would have been two more big lightbulbs around him, and his wife's attention would no longer be on him.
Zhou Banxia didn't know for a while that Gu Wenxuan had a small plan in mind, but he was very happy to let Dajiang Xiaohe read more books in the bookstore.
This teahouse is right on the street.
Go all the way.
Not to mention good paper and good paint, Gu Wenxuan saw that as long as the Four Treasures of the Study shop had rice paper in stock at a lower price than Fucheng's, his wife would be like picking up trash.
There were also ink sticks that were missing a corner or cracked, no matter what, the shopkeeper who finally bargained for the price was crying and wanted them all.
fortunately!
It was not too much, and I happily bought high-quality paper and ink. I also knew that I would continue to buy more Chengxin paper and Huizhou ink to continue to stockpile.
Even though she was hesitant about "good paint", he still mentioned that he would use it, so she asked for it quickly, otherwise the things that were spent on herself would be lost to the nobles.
For two lifetimes, no matter how much money I have, my shopping values have not improved. You are indeed a stubborn Zhou Banxia.
"Who are you buying so many treatment products for?"
"Practice calligraphy for you."
What a good calculation!
Thinking of the massive amount of rice paper he bought today, Gu Wenxuan felt his hands cramping all of a sudden.
"There is also paper used in the workshop. After all, we don't plan to make rice paper out of those pits, so we might as well buy more."
fine!
Not only did the two brothers-in-law share the work, but there was also a workshop to use. Gu Wenxuan suddenly felt alive, but he couldn't let his wife buy any more paper.
"That makes sense. She is indeed my wife. She has already planned it.
It's been almost an hour, right? Dajiang Xiaohe should be impatient. How about we go back to the teahouse first? ”
