Chapter 131 Chance Encounter

Song Chongyou waved his hand towards Li Cheng and said, "Cousin, don't worry about this matter.

This little girl said she is willing to sell the dough in her hand. I want to see how much she will charge for a dough?

She must open her mouth like a lion to see if I will cut her. Little girl, please make an offer quickly. "

Song Chongyou pursed his lips tightly and glared at Gu Huayu in disgust.

Cousin, my cousin rarely comes to Hongcheng. He spends all his efforts to take the two of them out for fun, but he doesn't want to meet anyone who is disgusting.

 I cursed in my heart, where did such a thing without eyes come from?

 Song Chongyou's disgusting and threatening words angered Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu sneered, looked down at the Monkey King in her hand, looked up at Song Chongyou, and said, "What a coincidence, I took a fancy to this Monkey King after shopping around for a day.

 At the moment, it is my favorite, and in my heart, it is priceless. "

Song Chongyou didn't wait for Gu Huayu to finish, and asked with a fierce look in his eyes: "So, you don't want to make an offer?"

Gu Huayu met Song Chongyou's gaze and looked at him without fear, "What? If I don't make an offer, what can you do to me?"

 Song Chongyou raised his hand, wanting to hit Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu raised her head and took a step forward. She pointed at her face with her left finger and said, "Want to hit someone? Come on, hit them here. If you dare, swing down and try!"

Song Chongyou had never seen such a bold person before, and he began to have doubts in his heart. He thought, where did this person come from?

 “Zhiyan, no!” Li Cheng hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Song Chongyou waved his hand in the air twice and said to himself: "A good man does not fight with women. If you are a boy, I will not slap you today. If you ask for a price, do it quickly. Don't be shameless!"

 Finally, Song Chongyou added angrily.

Gu Huayu took a step back, not forgetting to give Song Chongyou a look, "You like it so much, and you want me to give in. It's not impossible."

Song Chongyou thought that Gu Huayu was afraid, so he raised his head and said, "You should have been so sensible long ago. Tell me, how much money do you want?"

Gu Huayu looked at Song Chongyou with a half-smile, and said, "I told you, this Monkey King is my favorite."

“Zhiyan, forget it, don’t embarrass the little girl, let’s go.” Li Cheng advised from the side.

Song Chongyou shook his head in disapproval and said: "It's rare that something can catch Xiao Tao's eyes. How can I disappoint Xiao Tao? Cousin, don't worry about it. Leave this matter to me. Little girl, how can you talk so much? How much money do you need? ? Just say it.”

Li Tao stood behind Li Cheng, playing with the folding fan and watching the show.

Gu Huayu spread her hands with great reluctance and helplessness, "Actually, you can ask the old man to make another one for you."

Song Chongyou waved his hand and said arrogantly: "No, we want this in your hand."

"In that case, you just have to pay this amount. I won't let you pay anything less than this amount." Gu Huayu raised a finger as she spoke.

Song Chongyou looked at Gu Huayu's finger, thinking it was one tael of silver, and deliberately asked: "Ten taels of silver? It's no big deal, just say it, there is nothing embarrassing."

With that said, Song Chongyou turned to his entourage and said, "Give the little girl ten taels of silver."

Gu Huayu shook her head and said, "No."

Song Chongyou turned to look at Gu Huayu and asked with a sullen face, "No? Little girl, do you know how much you can buy with ten taels of silver? For ten taels of silver, I can buy the old man's stall."

 Gu Huayu raised her eyebrows and said, "I know, you can ask me to make another one for you, or you can buy someone else."

Song Chongyou stared at Gu Huayu's little face, cursing in his heart, what a ungrateful thing, and asked: "Tell me, how much money do you want? If you dare to speak like a lion, be careful, I will beat you up and teach you in public. How to be a human being.”

Li Cheng originally wanted to persuade Song Chongyou to forget it, but seeing Gu Huayu's unruly and fearless appearance, he became more curious, so he kept silent and stood watching the show.

Gu Huayu blew lightly at the Monkey King, looked up at Song Chongyou, then at the onlookers, and said disdainfully: "Teach me how to be a good person? Just you?

 When you see something you like, no matter whose it is, and you want to grab it without saying a word, you are worthy of saying "be a good person". Sages also say that a gentleman does not take away what he likes. "

"you…"

Gu Huayu didn't wait for Song Chongyou to finish speaking, and interrupted him with a loud voice, "What's wrong with me?"

 Then he turned to the onlookers and said: "Everyone here, please bear witness to the little girl.

 This man was bought by a little girl. But as soon as they came, they snatched it from the little girl without saying a word. Isn't it excessive? If they like it, they can ask me to pinch another one for them, right? "

 The onlookers nodded, "That's the truth."

“Taking advantage of their large numbers of people, they insisted on grabbing what I had, and even yelled at me to make an offer. Everyone, tell me, are they going too far?”

Gu Huayu sounded pitiful and aggrieved.

"Hey, why are you like this, girl? You didn't say it yourself, are you willing to sell the noodles in your hand?" Song Chongyou's face turned livid with anger.

Gu Huayu glanced at Song Chongyou secretly and said fearfully: "Two of you, without saying a word, just stretched out your hands and grabbed them. What can I do?"

In front of everyone, Song Chongyou was being held up and unable to get off the stage. He asked with a swollen voice: "Don't be nagging, we just like this handsome guy. Tell me, how much will it cost you?"

Gu Huayu said: "If you insist on buying it, then pay ten thousand taels of silver."

 “How much?” Song Chongyou’s eyes almost popped out of his head as he stared at Gu Huayu and asked.

Gu Huayu stepped back and said cowardly: "If you think it's too expensive for ten thousand taels of silver, you don't have to buy it, and I won't be willing to sell it."

The onlookers were stunned speechless by the asking price of 10,000 taels. After listening to Gu Huayu's words, they knew that she really didn't want to sell the object in her hand.

Someone spoke up and said, "Master, I see that this little girl really likes this handsome guy, so don't embarrass her."

Gu Huayu agreed gratefully: "I do like this guy, but if he really can afford ten thousand taels of silver, I can give him my love."

Gu Huayu’s voice was not loud, but everyone around her heard her clearly.

After Gu Huayu finished speaking, she looked at Song Chongyou provocatively, "Of course, if Mr. Song can't afford the money, don't grab other interests."

Song Chongyou was so angry that he pointed his folding fan at Gu Huayu, "You...you..."

Gu Huayu raised her hand to block the folding fan and said in words that only the two of them could hear: "What are you! Since you don't have the courage to spend a lot of money, don't go out and do whatever you want."

"you…"

Gu Huayu ignored Song Chongyou, whose face was red with anger, and clasped her fists at the onlookers, "Thank you folks for being witnesses. It's okay. Let's disperse."

Gu Huayu turned to Song Chongyou and waved the Monkey King in her hand, "Let's go." She turned and left.

 Song Chongyou has always been favored by the stars since he was so old. When did he ever feel so useless?

Seeing Gu Huayu swinging her arms and leaving, Song Chongyou immediately raised his voice and said, "Wait a minute."

Gu Huayu stopped and turned to look at Song Chongyou. Asked: "What?"

 "Zhiyan, don't..." Li Cheng shouted.

 “I’ll buy it!” Song Chongyou said.

Gu Huayu spread her hands with a smile, "Okay, bring the money. Pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

Song Chongyou turned around and said to his entourage: "Go to the bank to get ten thousand taels of silver notes."

The boy looked at Song Chongyou and then at Li Cheng, wondering what to do.

If he really went to get the money, he would have to be beaten when he returned home. The servants like them might be beaten to death or sold.

Li Cheng advised: "Know what you say, but don't act on your own accord."

“Cousin, don’t stand in my way, I have to vent my anger today,” Song Chongyou said.

Li Cheng knew that Song Chongyou was stubborn and had lost face in public today, so he must be very angry at this time.

Then he said: "This matter arose out of thought. If you want to buy it, it is me who will buy it. I should pay for it."

"No, if Siwen likes it, I'll give it to him." Song Chongyou tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and lowered his voice.

Li Cheng wanted to break the tense atmosphere, smiled and shook his head, "This Monkey King is too valuable, let me do it. Little girl, would you like to go to the bank with me to get the silver?" Li Cheng turned to look at Gu Huayu and asked .

Song Chongyou was stubborn in words, but he was honest in his heart.

If he dares to go to the bank to withdraw ten thousand taels of silver, his father will definitely beat him until his **** is red when he returns home.

Now that Li Cheng gave him the steps, he agreed half-heartedly and went back to give some gifts to his cousins.

Although Song Chongyou was thinking this, he said: "How can this be done? It is rare for my cousin to come back and forth to Hongcheng. How can I let my cousin spend money?"

Li Cheng patted Song Chongyou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on, we are all brothers, no matter who gives the money, it is the same."

Song Chongyou couldn't say any more polite words, "That's alright. Just listen to your cousin."

Li Cheng smiled and said, "Well, that's right. Little girl, let's go!" After saying that, Li Cheng turned around and said to Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu looked Li Cheng up and down and said with a smile: "This young master is very polite. If I sell it to you, I will give him ten taels of silver."

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and leaned over and said, "I'd like to thank you, girl." After saying that, he took out ten taels of silver from his wallet and handed it to Gu Huayu.

"You..." Song Chongyou stared at Gu Huayu with wide eyes.

Gu Huayu rolled her eyes at him and said while taking the money from Li Cheng: "What are you doing? Read more books and learn more from this young master."

Song Chongyou looked at Gu Huayu with a red face and was speechless to refute.

Gu Huayu turned around and said to the stall owner: "Old man, I sold it for you at a good price, go on."

Said, Gu Huayu threw the silver in her hand towards the stall owner. The stall owner hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it: "Girl, this..."

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "You are very good at holding the noodle. Take it. It's worth it."

 After speaking, Gu Huayu turned around and walked out of the crowd.

Li Cheng looked at Gu Huayu's back, looked down at the Monkey King in his hand, shook his head and said, "What an interesting little girl."

"Doctor Gu!" Gu Huayu walked along the street for a while, and suddenly a man stopped in front of her.

Gu Huayu raised her head to look at the person who came and asked in surprise: "You, are you... Ru'an?"

 Ru'an bowed and said, "That's right down there."

Gu Huayu looked around and didn't see Lu Liu. She turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I came here with my master. He was drinking tea in the teahouse opposite. My master asked, does Doctor Gu have time for a cup of tea?" Ru'an asked.

Gu Huayu turned back and looked up at the teahouse across the street, and saw Lu Ziqin standing in front of the window, his plain white clothes particularly conspicuous in the sunlight. Seeing her looking over, Lu Liu waved to her.

It seems that Mr. Lu Liu took a good look at the excitement just now.

Gu Huayu said: "Lead the way."

 Ru'an leaned forward and said, "Doctor Gu, please come down with me."

Gu Huayu followed Ru An to the teahouse and went straight to the second floor.

 Ru'an knocked on the door, then opened it and said, "Doctor Gu, please."

Gu Huayu walked into the house with her legs raised. Lu Ziqin took two steps to greet her, cupped her hands in greeting and said, "Thank you, Doctor Gu, for the compliment. Doctor Gu, please take a seat."

Gu Huayu returned the salute to Lu Ziqin, walked to the table by the window and sat down.

 Ru'an came in with tea and snacks, put them on the table, and then stepped out of the door.

Lu Ziqin put the tea cup in front of Gu Huayu and asked, "When did Doctor Gu come to Hongcheng?"

Gu Huayu took the tea cup and said, "Thank you, I just arrived today. Where is Mr. Lu Liu? He has been in Hongcheng?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "I have been in Hongcheng for half a month. I haven't seen him for half a year, and Doctor Gu has grown a lot taller."

Gu Huayu sipped her tea and said with a smile, "Well, I have grown a lot taller."

Now is the period of body growth, and I have grown a lot taller in half a year.

 Lu Ziqin reached out to refill Gu Huayu's tea and asked, "Why did you get involved with Li Tao?"

Gu Huayu looked up at Lu Ziqin and asked, "Do you know Li Tao, Mr. Lu Liu?"

Lu Ziqin nodded and responded: "Well, Li Tao and Li Cheng are brothers from the same mother, and their father Li Size is the minister of Dali Temple.

The two brothers came to Hongcheng this time to attend the 80th birthday party of Mrs. Xu, the grandmother of their mother Zheng Peilin. "

Gu Huayu asked thoughtfully: "Is this Li Tao very difficult to deal with?"

Lu Ziqin was surprised and pleased by Gu Huayu's sensitivity, secretly thinking, she is such a smart girl.

Lu Ziqin looked up at Gu Huayu and said with a smile: "Li Tao is nicknamed the Demon King in the capital."

Gu Huayu nodded clearly and said: "I see, no wonder you came up and grabbed what I had in my hand without saying a word."

Lu Ziqin pushed the snacks on the table in front of Gu Huayu and said, "Have a try."

Gu Huayu was not polite, casually twisting a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and gnawing on it.

 “Well, this is well done.”

Lu Ziqin pursed his lips and smiled, "Eat more if you like it. You have made Li Tao look bad today, so be careful when traveling next time."

 Gu Huayu swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her mouth and asked: "Is this person going to get revenge for his teeth? That's right, if he is not a villain, how can he get the title of Demon King. Thank you Mr. Lu Liu for reminding me, I know it well."

Lu Ziqin gave Gu Huayu more tea and asked, "Are you coming to Hongcheng alone? Are you here to visit relatives or do you have something to do?"

Gu Huayu patted the snack Momo on her hand, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, shook her head and said: "I came here with my third brother and Uncle Huang. We are not visiting relatives, but to explore the market for potato starch."

Lu Ziqin looked at Gu Huayu curiously and asked, "Oh? What is potato starch?"

When Lu Ziqin asked, Gu Huayu immediately became interested. He introduced Lu Ziqin to various kinds of sweet potato starch, his eyes gleaming as he talked.
