Chinese people's temperament always likes to be harmonious and eclectic.
If you say that this room is too dark and you need to open a window here, no one will allow it.
But if you advocate removing the roof, they will mediate and be willing to open the windows.
This is called the 'house-breaking effect' in psychology.
The head of the Gao family is in this mental state at this time.
He carefully rubbed and inspected the fabric of the cotton robe in his hand.
The neat fabrics and fine stitches all indicate the great potential of this new type of fabric that has never been seen before.
Thinking of the single price recorded on those cloth tickets, the head of the Gao family moved his eyebrows.
He hurriedly looked through the lining of the cotton robe.
Gongsun Jing did not stop him and stood aside with his hands tied.
It's a pity that the stitching of this robe is so fine that it's hard to tell what the cotton stuffing inside is.
But after holding it in his hands for a while, he could feel that this robe was somewhere between a silk robe and a low-end Kudzu robe.
A market that is enough to fill a large gap in the middle.
Not only in the north, but also in the south, it will be a hot commodity in winter.
The head of the Gao family looked through it for a long time before thoughtfully handing the cotton robe back to the steward.
The most important question now is whether that girl with an overbearing and unruly style will really pay for such a huge amount of cloth.
Gongsun Jing smiled, smacked his waist and said, "Mr. Gao, why don't we sit down before we talk?"
The head of the Gao family finally came back to his senses and sat back down, seeing the colorful bills he had thrown on the table.
After thinking for a while, he saw Gongsun Jing lowering his head to warm a cup of tea and rolled up the tickets into his sleeve.
He thought to himself that Gongsun wouldn't really be that shameless, right?
Such thoughts were only fleeting, but they were enough for him to find an excuse to comfort himself after being forced to surrender.
The candy tastes especially sweet after the slap.
A qualified leek is always good at comforting himself.
Gongsun Jing did not miss the action of the head of the Gao family, but he did not try to expose it. The two old men tacitly ignored the previous topic at the same time.
Gongsun Jing treated the head of the Gao family to drink tea as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that the autumn pears that were delivered were large and plump, he ordered his servants to wash and cut them.
The two chatted for a while and then heard footsteps.
Gongsun Jing raised his head and wanted to ask the servant to put down the pears, but he saw his granddaughter bringing a lacquer plate with cut pears in it.
At this time, she was neatly combing her hair in a high bun, which is typical for girls, and wearing an ebony pear hairpin.
Dressed in plain clothes, the yard became brighter as he walked.
But when the head of the Gao family saw her, his face dropped and he stopped talking.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Gao," she said with a smile, holding a half-full plate snatched from the hands of the servant, "I cut the pears with my own hands, so I can try them."
As he said that, he put the fruit plate on the table.
Gongsun Yan was used to putting on pretences, and now in front of the head of the Gao family, he looked as coquettish as if she was not the one who had forced him to sell his horse farm.
She greeted everyone with a smile, but it was hard for the head of the Gao family to scold his junior in front of her grandfather.
He snorted from his nose in response, reluctantly took a piece of pear and put it into his mouth.
He looked bad, but Gongsun Yan didn't care. She offered the pear to Gongsun Jing again and said, "Master, try it."
Gongsun Yan smiled brightly: "I have been busy doing business with others recently, and I haven't come to see my grandpa for a few days."
Gongsun Jing and Gongsun Jing froze at the same time, thinking to themselves, are you doing business? You are robbing!
The head of the Gao family couldn't help but snorted loudly.
Gongsun Yan heard this and let out a long sigh: "I know Grandpa Gao is annoyed with me, but I can't help it. There are too few available manpower in the branch city, and the weaving factory is really short of manpower."
After saying that, she looked at the head of the Gao family expectantly: "Grandpa Gao, you have also seen the cotton cloth. What do you think?"
Are you still thinking about his wife? The head of the Gao family is secretly lucky that he didn't slap the pear in front of her face.
Gongsun Jing coughed lightly, feeling a little blind.
"Grandpa Gao, please give me an accurate estimate. The people you send will be provided with food, accommodation and salary. You will never be treated badly."
As for whether he would return it when the time came, Gongsun Yan automatically ignored the issue.
Jinggong, don't you care?
The head of the Gao family turned his attention to Gongsun Jing, and saw that Gongsun Jing turned his face away and drooped his eyelids, looking like he was sleeping.
Cursing secretly in his heart, the head of the Gao family became even more ugly. He was about to have an attack when something suddenly occurred to him and he silently withdrew his hand that was about to slap the table.
After a long silence, he finally asked: "How much do you want?"
Judging from all the previous experiences, the girl in front of me is definitely more than just a thick-skinned person.
If she wants something, she will definitely try her best to get it.
Instead of breaking up, it's better to have a good talk at this time.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan immediately smiled and looked at the head of the Gao family: "How much do you have?"
