Chapter 140 Second Marriage (1)
140 Second Marriage (1)
Stinky’s first birthday was coming up. Chu Tianbao didn’t know what to prepare for Stinky. He went to ask Qingfeng. Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and slowly said, “Longevity Lock.”
Chu Tianbao knew about the longevity lock. Several children from the Qinghe 30 families had one hanging around their necks. There were gold and silver ones, and they looked quite nice.
Chu Tianbao wanted to give Stinky the best, so of course it had to be gold.
However, he did not have any money on hand. Bai Wutong only gave him a copper coin for the money he had won previously.
Chu Tianbao sat in the tree and looked at the copper coin. A copper coin could not buy a gold longevity lock. He had to earn money to buy it.
Chu Tianbao suddenly remembered that every time he went to the mountains to hunt, Bai Wutong would sell the villagers the remaining meat. An idea popped into his mind. With a whoosh, he jumped down from the tree and quickly ran towards the forest.
Chu Tianbao looked for prey with a purpose. He knew that the bigger it was, the more valuable it was. In a short while, he had slaughtered two bears.
He carried both of them down the mountain. Instead of dragging them home, he went from door to door. “Do you want to buy meat?”
When Cui Shize heard the servant’s report, he hurriedly rushed out. When he saw Chu Tianbao dragging two bears, he asked in surprise, “Master Chu, are you selling these two bears?”
Chu Tianbao nodded. “Yes, all of them!”
The entire bear was valuable, and the bear meat was very nutritious. The masters of the 30 families of Qinghe liked bear meat very much.
Chu Tianbao was anxious to sell them. Cui Shize asked him to wait while he went to ask other people if they wanted to buy bears.
Chu Tianbao urged, “Hurry up!”
Cui Shize smiled. “Okay.”
After a while, Cui Shize returned with many people.
He asked Chu Tianbao, “Master Chu, how about we give you 200 taels of silver for these two bears?”
Chu Tianbao was selling bears anxiously behind Bai Wutong’s back. He must have wanted to save up some money. Originally, it was a lot to sell a bear for 80 taels of silver, so 100 taels of silver per bear was indeed a lot.
Chu Tianbao didn’t care how much. He only asked, “Can you buy a longevity lock made of gold with that amount?”
Only then did Cui Shize realize that Chu Tianbao did not want to save up for himself, but to buy a longevity lock for Young Master Stinky.
He smiled and nodded. “Yes, that’s enough.”
Chu Tianbao was satisfied. He took the money pouch Cui Shize handed him and left without looking back.
There was still time to enter the city. Chu Tianbao wanted to enter the city to buy the longevity lock.
He used his qinggong and was much faster than the carriage on the road.
When he arrived at the town, Chu Tianbao asked the bailiff at the city gate, “Where can I buy a longevity lock?”
Chu Tianbao was tall and cold. Coincidentally, the bailiff at the city gate had gone to Youjia Village with Duke Yang Bing. He recognized him at a glance as Master Chu of Youjia Village and said with a good att.i.tude, “You can head to Golden Jade Store 200 meters ahead.”
Chu Tianbao nodded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The bailiffs immediately started discussing. This Master Chu was amazing. He appeared and disappeared like a G.o.d.
Chu Tianbao soon arrived at Golden Jade Store.
As soon as he entered, the girls who were choosing jewelry were dumbfounded.
What a handsome and mighty man.
When did such a person appear in Woqian Town?
They did not dare to look at him openly, so they pretended to choose their jewelry while secretly glancing at him.
Even though Chu Tianbao was dressed simply, the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect him.
He quickly asked enthusiastically, “Sir, what do you want to buy?”
Chu Tianbao raised his chin. “Longevity Lock!”
His low and manly voice and extraordinary aura made the shopkeeper quickly take out all the longevity locks in their shop.
Chu Tianbao took a fancy to a very, very big golden lock at a glance. With such a big golden lock, their Stinky would definitely become the most beautiful child in the entire village.
As soon as he picked it up, the shopkeeper said happily, “Master, you have good taste. This longevity lock has been blessed by an eminent monk. It’s only 20 taels of silver.”
Chu Tianbao remembered that Cui Shize had given him 200 taels of silver. The longevity lock was only 20 taels of silver. He glanced at the lady’s hairpin at the side. Before his eyes had stayed on it for two seconds, the shopkeeper introduced, “Master, these are all the latest models of our shop. I guarantee that Madam will be satisfied.”
When Chu Tianbao heard the shopkeeper say that Bai Wutong would definitely be satisfied, his eyes lit up, and his distant aura dissipated a lot.
Seeing that there was a chance, the shopkeeper brought out a tray of high-quality goods to Chu Tianbao. “These are all the treasures of our shop. When Madam wears them, she will definitely look like a fairy!”
Chu Tianbao picked up a pearl hairpin and looked at it. Then, he picked up the white jade bracelet and looked at it. Suddenly, some scenes flashed across his mind. He suddenly felt that these seemingly exquisite and expensive jewelry were not worthy of his wife.
