Chapter 165: Wedding Gift (2)

The clerk nodded and replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Still 30 taels short."

Gu Yun frowned, but there was no too much embarrassment on her face. She thought for a while and replied: "I only brought this much today, or... you can keep it for me first, and I'll come to pick it up tomorrow with the money."

The clerk replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Our shop doesn't have the rule of keeping goods. There is only this pair of jade combs. I'm afraid that when you come tomorrow, it will have been sold."

Gu Yun smiled and replied quite freely: "Then there's no way. I don't have enough money now, and you don't keep it. If it's gone tomorrow, it's gone."

After saying this, Gu Yun put away the money bag and prepared to leave. The woman just now suddenly said softly: "Actually, you can pay them a deposit, Miss, and then let them send it to your mansion. Then you can pay the clerk when you get it."

Gu Yun's eyes lit up. She looked at the clerk and asked: "Can I do that?"

The clerk nodded and replied: "Yes."

Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good, you can send it to the General's Mansion." When Gu Yun said "General's Mansion", the clerk was shocked, and the woman was also slightly stunned.

"Is it the Zhenguo General's Mansion?" The clerk asked carefully.

Gu Yun thought for a while and replied: "Yes, it's the General's Mansion of Su Ling."

She actually called Su General by his name directly. She must be a close relative of the General. When the clerk heard Gu Yun ask how much the deposit was, the clerk hurriedly replied: "20 taels is enough."

Gu Yun opened the money bag, took out a silver note written with 20 taels and handed it to the clerk. The clerk took the silver note and hurriedly replied: "I will definitely send it to you this afternoon, Miss."

Gu Yun nodded and replied: "Thank you."

The clerk bowed again and replied: "Don't dare."

Looking at the woman who was already a scenery just standing quietly on the side, Gu Yun smiled: "Thank you too, Miss Yu."

The woman nodded slightly and smiled faintly: "You are polite."

Her tone was obviously more aloof than just now. Although Gu Yun didn't understand why, she also saw that people didn't seem to want to talk to her anymore. Gu Yun left a sentence "I'll go first" and walked out of the inner room.

After that ink-black figure disappeared outside the "Jin Yu Liang Yuan" shop, the little maid said tentatively: "Miss, isn't there no woman in the Zhenguo General's Mansion? But then again, looking at her dress, she really doesn't look like a woman. No wonder she can stay in the Zhenguo General's Mansion."

The woman laughed and scolded: "Your mouth! One day you will offend everyone!"

The little girl shrugged, looking unafraid.

Black combat suit, green silk tied high, casual smile, free and easy movements. Such a woman, even she couldn't help but get close to, right? Yu Handan looked at the direction where she had long been gone, secretly guessing, who exactly is she in the General's Mansion?

Outside the Zhenguo General's Mansion, there were elite soldiers guarding it all year round. Ordinary people couldn't get close, let alone pass in front of its door, and didn't dare to speak loudly. Everyone knew that there were no women in the General's Mansion, and the three generals were not good at various playthings on weekdays. The clerk of the Jin Yu Liang Yuan shop had entered the mansions of all the high-ranking officials and royal relatives in the capital, but had never been to the General's Mansion alone.

The two clerks looked at each other, took a deep breath, and walked into the majestic mansion gate. Just as they walked to the gate, they were immediately scolded by the guard: "What are you doing?"

The two hurriedly stopped, and one of them raised the gift box and replied respectfully: "We are clerks from the Jin Yu Liang Yuan shop. This was sent by the young lady in the General's Mansion."

"Young lady?" The guard hesitated for a while and didn't react for a while.

A young general beside him said in a low voice: "Is it Miss Qing? Why don't you go in and ask Ming Shu?" Miss Qing went out early this morning, so she must have bought it, right? Otherwise, there were no other women in the General's Mansion!

"Hmm." The guard nodded and said to the two clerks: "You wait outside the mansion first."

"Yes." The two immediately bowed and retreated outside the door. Just at this time, a tall figure was walking toward the gate and almost bumped into them as they retreated. Fortunately, the person dodged nimbly, so they didn't bump into each other.

The young general saw who it was, immediately stood upright, and said anxiously: "General!" When the two clerks saw it was the General, they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Su Ling's face.

Su Ling frowned and asked: "Who are they?"

Su Ling looked displeased, and the young general immediately reported truthfully: "Report to the General, they are clerks from the Jin Yu Liang Yuan shop, saying that someone in the mansion ordered something, it might be ordered by Miss Qing."

Things bought by Qing Mo? Su Ling, who had just stepped into the door, paused, and turned to look at the clerk and asked: "What is it?"

The cold voice was low and clear, not harsh but made people feel scared. The clerk swallowed his saliva and replied respectfully: "A pair of white jade combs, the young lady said it was for a wedding gift."

Wedding? Su Ling only thought of her sister's wedding in a few days, so she went out to buy things. He reached out and said: "Bring it here."

"Yes." The clerk carefully handed the gift box to Su Ling. Su Ling opened the box and took a look. Inside was a pair of crystal-clear white jade combs. The white jade combs, which were the size of a palm, were even more translucent and moist against the red gift box. Closing the gift box, Su Ling didn't ask the price, and said casually to the young general: "You take them to the account room to pay the silver."

"Yes." The young general led the two to the side door. Su Ling suddenly said again: "Wait. What else did she like?"

The clerk thought for a while and replied in a low voice: "The young lady was holding a jade hairpin and looked at it for a long time."

"Send that hairpin over together later." After saying this, Su Ling took the gift box and stepped into the General's Mansion with large strides.

"Yes." The clerk breathed a sigh of relief secretly. Fortunately, he usually had some insight and didn't offend the young lady who looked simple to the extreme.

After eating lunch outside, she swayed back until the afternoon. Supporting her chin, she lay bored on the round table. Gu Yun laughed at herself, this young lady is really not a life of hard work like her. When she was busy with cases before, a day would pass in a flash, and she always wished a day could have 48 hours. Now it has become a day like a year! Just as she was thinking wildly, Ming Shu came into the courtyard with a tray again, and said from afar: "Young lady, the things you ordered have been sent."

"Okay." Gu Yun replied lazily.

When Ming Shu put the tray in front of her, Gu Yun found that in addition to a square red gift box, there was also a long, light green box, decorated quite elegantly. Gu Yun opened the box and saw a head hairpin made of green jade and emerald lying inside. The long tassel-like pendant was very beautiful, and it would make a sound like a light groan with a slight shake. The workmanship was exquisite and refined, and the whole hairpin looked beautiful.

Carefully putting the hairpin back into the box, Gu Yun smiled: "I only wanted the comb, the hairpin is not mine." The hairpin was beautiful and familiar, but it was indeed not bought by her. At this time, Gu Yun had completely forgotten that she had been holding this hairpin in her hand all the time when she was listening to the gossip of the two women.

Ming Shu replied embarrassedly: "This was ordered by the General to be brought over by this old servant, the others don't know."

Gu Yun waved her hand and didn't insist again: "You go busy with your work, I'll go find him myself later." Su Ling's stinky temper, she'd better go over and talk to him herself, why make it difficult for the old man.

"Yes." Ming Shu breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

Gu Yun stared at the two exquisite gift boxes on the table and fell into deep thought. For several months, she hadn't bought anything, basically didn't spend money, was busy training troops and cases, and forgot about money. The Golden Bagua Disk didn't know when it could be found, and she couldn't go back for a while. She couldn't always use the Su family's money like this. She now had to think seriously about the problem of making money.

Study.

The celebration is approaching, and a large number of foreign envoys and noble merchants have come to congratulate. In the capital, to ensure safety, patrol guards are indispensable, and to show the peace and prosperity of the country, soldiers cannot be everywhere on the street. The deployment of troops has become a headache. Su Ling looked at the imperial city troop deployment map in his hand, secretly thinking about countermeasures. At this time, a string of brisk footsteps stepped into the study.

Su Ling looked up, and a plain white paper appeared before his eyes. After taking it, Su Ling's cold eyes darkened suddenly, staring at Gu Yun, who was standing in front of the desk with a matter-of-fact look, and asked coldly: "What is this?"

"IOU." Gu Yun replied very seriously: "I heard that you paid the tail payment for the jade comb for me, here is 100."

"Who told you to write an IOU?" Su Ling's mood, which was already irritable because of the troop deployment map, was even more depressed at this moment, and his tone couldn't help but be a bit irritable.

Gu Yun was inexplicable and replied impatiently: "I can only write an IOU if I don't have money. If you don't agree, then I'll borrow money from Su Yu to pay you back, and then I'll pay him back." After saying this, she turned and was about to go out to find Su Yu.

"Stop." Hearing her say she was going to borrow money from Su Yu to pay him back, Su Ling was even more angry, pushed the IOU to the desk, and said coldly: "Take it away."

"Wait until I borrow money from Su Yu to pay you back and then take it." Paying money with one hand and changing the IOU with the other is the fairest.

The fairness in Gu Yun's eyes really angered Su Ling: "Qing Mo! You live in the General's Mansion now, you are a person of the General's Mansion, it is natural to use the money of the General's Mansion, you don't need to write an IOU, do you understand?"

Gu Yun, who was unusually dull in emotional matters, naturally didn't hear Su Ling's implication, and insisted on her own: "I'm already very embarrassed to eat and live here for nothing, money absolutely cannot be taken from you for nothing, you keep the IOU first, I will definitely pay it back."

Damn it! The proud man was also roared by Gu Yun's stubbornness: "I said I don't want you to pay it back!" What is in her head, can't she live like an ordinary woman! Is it so uncomfortable to use his silver?
