Chapter 473: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (2)
It takes about four hours to drive from Haishi to Jincheng.
That morning, they set out on their journey early.
The scenery along the way was quite nice, but they had no intention of appreciating it and just wanted to get to Jincheng as soon as possible.
On the way, Song Chengjing asked the driver to find a place to have lunch.
Despite the tight time schedule, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon when they finally arrived in Jincheng.
"It's not right to visit the injured in the afternoon!" As soon as he arrived in Jincheng, Cao Shixun started to be clever, "How about this, we find a place to settle down first, buy some gifts, and then try some delicious food in Jincheng.
At night, you can also go to the local night market and relax. Finally, take a day off and visit Su Yanqing on the third day. "
Hearing this, Song Chengjing couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This guy is really a troublemaker. He doesn't study hard, but he is naturally good at eating, drinking and having fun.
Who knows, maybe in a few years this kid will get into some big trouble, which would be really bad, but by then he might be able to do something like robbing a decent woman.
Although he secretly complained in his heart, Song Chengjing did not show it on the surface.
However, he naturally would not completely obey Cao Shixun's arrangements.
However, he was right about some things.
Therefore, Song Chengjing ordered the driver to drive the car to a famous pastry shop in Jincheng and carefully selected several popular cakes as gifts.
Watching the shop assistant wrapping the snacks he bought for him with oil paper, Song Chengjing frowned slightly, but finally couldn't help but asked, "Don't you have that kind of snack box in your store?"
When the waiter heard his words, his eyes lit up, this is a big customer!
"Yes, and it's made of rosewood!" the waiter recommended flatteringly, "This box has several compartments inside, which can hold different kinds of snacks, and there are handles on the sides of the box, which is very popular among many young ladies.
It’s just a little more expensive and they’re usually bought individually. We don’t usually pack our snacks in these boxes.”
Song Chengjing carefully examined the samples handed over by the waiter and nodded with satisfaction: "Put the snacks I just selected neatly into this box."
"By the way, if the snacks are not enough, add some sour and sweet preserved fruits that little girls like." Song Chengjing reminded.
Then he asked his driver to wait here and get the snack box.
He ran to the jewelry store across the street to buy some more gifts.
Since I came to visit Su Yanqing, I naturally had to bring him a gift.
Song Chengjing took a fancy to a paperweight, which was not expensive, so he asked the shopkeeper to pack it.
In fact, this thing is more common in shops selling the "Four Treasures of the Study". The reason why it appears here is simply because this paperweight is made of white jade, which is of better material.
Before going out, Song Chengjing saw another pair of small butterfly hairpins.
"Master, you have a very good taste." Seeing that he was interested, the shopkeeper quickly introduced, "This pair of butterflies is very finely made. Although the material is ordinary, the price is not high. It is suitable to buy it home as a gift for your sister to play with."
Upon hearing that this thing was suitable for little girls, Song Chengjing asked the shopkeeper to pack the pair of butterfly hairpins and paperweight together without hesitation.
After paying the money, Song Chengjing returned to the car carrying a lot of bags.
"Have you bought everything?" Cao Shixun leaned over curiously, "Wow, you even bought jewelry!"
"It's for Su Yanqing's sister." Song Chengjing answered casually, "It's the first time we meet, so I don't want to be too rude."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I see you treat that kid much better than me!" Cao Shixun pretended to be wronged, "I asked you to take me out, but you didn't even want to. That kid was only slightly injured, but you came all the way to see him, and even knew to prepare gifts for his family."
Song Chengjing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you need this little thing? Don't be too critical of people who use you for free rides, meals, or accommodations!"
After hearing this, Cao Shixun immediately shut up. Although his family was powerful, he had a limited amount of money to spend every month. It was already the end of the month and he had very little money left in his pocket.
What if I talk too much and make Song Chengjing angry, and then he throws me here directly, then he will have a lot of fun.
By then, even if he could return to Hai City safely, he would definitely become the biggest laughing stock among the aristocratic families this year, and his father's belt would still be very painful when he hit him.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a yard. From the outside, the yard was not big, but it was not shabby either.
Pushing the door open, I found that it was indeed a great place to find peace and quiet in the midst of noise.
"Stay here tonight." Song Chengjing got out of the car first. "If you want to go out, it's up to you, but if you don't show up when I go to Su's house tomorrow morning, you have to go back to Hai City by yourself."
Cao Shixun quickly followed and put his personal belongings in a cabinet on the side, which was actually just a cloth bag filled with spare clothes.
He didn't have this thing originally. When he was leaving the school and waiting to be released, Cao Shixun's men secretly stuffed it into his pocket.
He originally wanted to go out for a stroll, but considering that he didn't have much money, he decided to give up!
When I see my aunt tomorrow, she should be able to give me some money.
Alas! This is the bad thing about my cousin coming home to recuperate. When his money runs out, there is no one to provide him with food and drink.
