Huwa was still unaware of the economic crisis he was about to encounter, and was currently taking his two cousins around the capital.
Although he did not have a good relationship with his two cousins, he was a guest and he could be considered a host. It would be unreasonable not to entertain him, so he declined the invitation from his classmate Chen Ting and accompanied his two cousins.
The Emperor's feet are very majestic.
Ye Daiqun and Ye Daixuan had never even been out of Linxi County before. When they first arrived in Kyoto, the most prosperous, lively and open place, they were immediately dazzled by everything. They felt that everything was new and curious about everything. They often stopped and watched the excitement.
, I haven’t visited a street in Dongshi for most of the day.
Huwa was also like this when he first came to the capital. He didn't laugh at his two cousins, but what displeased him was that they actually asked him to pay for their purchases.
"Why?!"
It was okay to buy kebabs, pastries, and candies before, but now they are interested in spinning top toys, and asking him to pay for them is too much: "I am the younger brother, why do you brother keep spending my money?"
This is the most popular toy store in Dongshi. There is a dazzling array of toys inside, and the store waiter also performs in public, which attracts the attention of many young boys. Therefore, there are not many customers in the store. Huwa's voice immediately attracts
Lots of sights.
The two brothers, apart from anything else, had imitated their father's ability to be both face-saving to the outside world and shameless to the inside. They only felt that others were pointing fingers at them, which made them increasingly irritated and angry.
Ye Daiqun said: "We are guests, and it is your duty to entertain us. You have become a native of the capital, but you are still so cowardly. My eldest sister is so rich, but you are still reluctant to spend such a small amount of money. You are too shabby, right?"
Huwa suddenly turned red with anger.
The eldest sister is indeed very rich, and she sympathizes with him for leaving his parents at a young age to study in an academy. She gives him a fixed monthly salary of ten taels of silver every month, and she also gives him some extra pocket money when he goes home during the holidays, so he has a lot of money on hand.
Money has always been abundant.
But he was born a poor child, and his sister's love did not make him get carried away. He will never forget the sight of his parents struggling for a few coins——
After my sister came to Beijing, my mother got up in the middle of the night to prepare snacks every day in order to go to the county early to do business, and then walked long distances to get a good seat in the market. Even if it was snowing heavily, my mother was
He would always remember his hands that were red and chapped from the heavy snow.
Therefore, although he had money on hand, he spent every stroke of his money wisely. Except for occasional interpersonal interactions, all his money was used to buy necessities such as pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and books, so he had no spare money at all.
The eldest sister is busy on weekdays, taking care of business as well as taking care of the family. She didn’t even know that he brought his own pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Only the brother-in-law knew about this, but he didn’t object to him doing this. It was just that occasionally he would
I had no money, so I gave him a few taels of silver.
Today he took his two cousins out, and his brother-in-law gave him three taels of silver - he guessed that the brother-in-law's money was all private money, because the brother-in-law had to report all serious pocket money expenses to his sister, and her sister still didn't know about this.
The thing is, this account must have never appeared in her place.
Let’s not mention the digression for now, let’s talk about this money—money that his brother-in-law had worked so hard to save and was reluctant to spend, so why did he give these two people an advantage?
So he retorted confidently: "Silver does not come from the strong wind. Is it wrong for me to save some money? You have money, buy it yourself!"
If you want him to spend money to buy toys, there is no way! You might as well buy them for Wangzai... Having said that, Wangzai seems to have never played with a spinning top. Well, I will secretly buy one for Wangzai to play with later.
Huwa thought as he touched his purse.
Ye Daiqun and Ye Daixuan were angry and annoyed. If they had money, why would they spend this kid's money?
Ye Daixuan was not much older than Huwa. He couldn't stand being insulted at this moment. He said in a sinister tone: "When the third brother entered the capital, he began to dislike us two country brothers. I don't know your classmates and master."
, did you know you are such an ungrateful person?"
The accusation of ingratitude is serious.
There were already many people around who were looking at her strangely. After all, Huwa was young and very thin-skinned. He couldn't be as shameless as the two brothers. He suddenly blushed and said: "You are talking nonsense! Who dislikes you?"
?You have come a long way, and I have sent my friend's pigeon to accompany you."
Ye Daiqun snorted coldly and said shamelessly: "Brothers are like brothers, you should accompany us."
"Lin Zi, you let us go, just to accompany such a pair of things?"
A clear voice of a young man came from outside. Everyone looked around and saw a group of young men wearing brocade clothes walking in in groups. The leaders were two young men, one thin and one fat. They were so thin that they were Ye Daiqun's close friends.
My friend Chen Ting, the fat one is my classmate Lu Haoning.
The person who just spoke was none other than Lu Haoning. He was born into a noble family and was not afraid of offending others. He was always outspoken and outspoken. He had many enemies but equally many friends.
The shopkeeper of this shop obviously knew him. He immediately greeted him enthusiastically, nodded and bowed and said: "Mr. Lu, you haven't been to the shop for a while. The shop has a lot of new things. If you like it, I will let you know.
It’s all packed for you.”
Lu Haoning waved his hand indifferently: "Old rule, all new toys are wrapped by me."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and quickly ordered the waiter to start working. Ye Daiqun and Ye Daixuan looked at the noble man who spent a lot of money in front of them in shock, and the envy and jealousy in their eyes could not be concealed.
They worked so hard that they couldn't get even one top, but this guy was lucky enough to buy a lot of them without blinking an eye. It's really like people with different fates!
Lu Haoning saw the unwillingness and desire in the eyes of these two people, and immediately gave a disdainful sound, bumped Huwa's shoulder, and said: "Lin Zi, your two cousins are really far behind you."
Huwa: "..." Actually, he felt the same way.
Seeing that he was going too far, Chen Ting quickly stopped. Lu Haoning gave him face and reluctantly shut up.
As Cui Weizhen's specially arranged roommate and good friend for Huwa, Chen Ting appeared to be much more mature and steady than the ordinary young boy. Now he came out to deal with him in a friendly manner: "You two brothers are Lin Zi's cousins, right?"
, Lin Zi often mentioned you to us, and this time he specially accepted our appointment to accompany you, which shows your status in his heart. Lin Zi’s brother is our brother. Since we have met, the two brothers might as well be together with us.
Let’s go have fun.”
This young man seemed to be the leader of this group of people, but he was kind to them. Ye Daiqun and Ye Daixuan's previous humiliation and dissatisfaction suddenly disappeared, and they became flattered.
They responded one after another, very close to flattery and flattery. Huwa listened beside him, his face almost turned green!
After all, we are all scholars, so why do we learn so much flattery?
Next time, don’t take them out to play again next time!
