Chapter 33 This is Second Brother and Nuobao's little secret
Gu Nuoer nodded deeply, the tassels on her buns dangling on her temples.
"Second brother, don't worry, Nobao didn't tell anyone, not even his mother! This is a little secret between second brother and Nobao."
Gu Zitang was very satisfied. He took Gu Nuoer out of the cold palace and washed his hands in the pond.
Then he said: "Nuo'er, my second brother is taking you out of the palace to play today, and he will also teach you how to turn small money into big money."
Gu Nuoer opened her eyes wide and was very curious: "Little money can give birth to big money?"
Gu Zitang laughed: "That's more or less what I mean, let's go and show you some things."
The little guy shook his head happily and followed Gu Zitang with his little body.
As Concubine Qiao expected, as soon as the second prince's carriage left the palace, a dozen secret guards rode behind it.
They are all equipped with black gold swords on their waists, which can cut iron like clay. If someone comes to attack, they will die immediately.
Gu Zitang took Gu Nuoer to the bustling market with people coming and going.
This was not the first time Gu Nuoer had left the palace, but she had never had a good look at it before.
Now I am lying on the car window and looking out. Everywhere I look is strange!
There are a dazzling array of stalls on the streets, with all kinds of candy figures, dolls, and rattles.
There are also performers who are walking on a silk thread with a big vat above their heads, surrounded by crowds of people watching.
Gu Nuoer clapped her little hands: "It's so lively!"
Gu Zitang saw his sister's happy look at the side and chuckled, her peach blossom eyes extremely charming.
"Don't worry, Nobao, there will be more fun ways to play later."
The second prince asked someone to stop the carriage at the front of the street and walked to the street entrance with Gu Nuoer in his arms.
Because he was dressed gorgeously, the little one in his arms had an extremely beautiful, sculpted little face.
The brother and sister immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Gu Zitang looked around and stopped at a stall selling "coltsfoot flowers" opposite.
Coltsfoot is a flower that blooms in winter. Its fruit can be used as medicine or made into cakes. It tastes fragrant, sweet but not greasy.
It's a relatively common thing.
Gu Zitang walked over and asked the stall owner: "Are these all the coltsfoot flowers?"
The vendor quickly rubbed his hands and stood up, smiling and replied: "Yes, sir, would you like some?"
Gu Zitang knelt down, used his slender hand with a jade ring on it, and plucked the coltsfoot flowers on the stall twice.
He tutted: "It doesn't look very fresh anymore."
The vendor hurriedly said: "How can it be possible? This was just picked from the mountain in the morning! Master, I'm afraid you don't know.
If these winter flowers are left overnight, the color will fall off and the flowers will become wilted. I pick them the same day."
Gu Zitang raised his lips quietly and suppressed a smile.
He didn't speak, he just looked like he was thinking.
The small vendor then said, "How about that? I'll sell it to you cheaply, five taels per catty, okay?"
Gu Zitang quickly took out the money to pay the bill and pointed to the flowers on the stall: "I want them all, how much money do you want?"
If you still have more, I will take as much as you have. Someone at home likes to eat it and I am anxious to buy more."
The vendor's eyes widened in disbelief.
The price of five taels per catty was deliberately exaggerated by him.
Who makes the young man in front of me look like he is the child of a wealthy family!
Unexpectedly, he is not only rich but also generous in giving money!
Ouch, this is the living God of Wealth! I’m going to get rich today.
The vendor was smiling so hard that he could hardly see his eyes. While collecting money, he helped Gu Zitang wrap up all the coltsfoot flowers.
Gu Zitang asked: "Do you know anyone selling coltsfoot flowers around here?"
