Qiao Lan didn't ask why she didn't give me the money first, but she looked very trusting, which pleased Chuanhu, with a happy smile in her bright starry eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"If you sell it well, you are doing it, and I won't charge you money, so don't say goodbye to me."

Chuanhu's voice was soft, as if coaxing a child.

"That's embarrassing." There was trust written in Qiao Lan's big watery eyes.

"It doesn't matter, I can still call the shots about this thing, there are quite a lot of people who come to sell on my behalf, you can take this little money from you." Chuanhu doesn't want her consignment fee anymore, and others have to pay money to Liu's shop when they come to sell.

Daddy Li was worried that the old lady was coming, and he was behind them for a while, and it was too cold in the morning to let the old lady come over to help, so he came in a lush car.

"Let's see if your grandma is here?"

As she was saying that, Mrs. Li was helped by Mother Li and walked over here, Qiao Lan hurriedly greeted her with a happy look, "Grandma, Uncle Li gave me a set of four books, and the official printing is good." ”

"That's a good feeling, have you thanked others?" Mrs. Li also smiled.

"Uh-huh."

"Then let's go buy some rice paper, pen and ink back, and use paper to practice calligraphy in the future, it happens that Qingyuan will go to school next year, and it is also excellent to copy a handwritten book for him." The old lady thought about it and thought it was good.

If you can practice calligraphy and leave books for children, you don't have to blindly save paper money.

"Well, I'll pay for this myself, and I'll copy books for my nephew, and I'll copy a copy of everything." Qiao Lan nodded without hesitation.

"Mother, shall we go now?" Daddy Li came with him for something, not to set up a stall for the girls.

"Well, let's go now, Huzi is bothering you."

"Grandma is still polite to me, I have told people, let's go into the house and talk." Chuanhu came over and helped his grandmother to go out.

A group of people turned around and entered the alley, flashed in from a small door, Chuanhu was the last to enter the door, and looked carefully left and right that no one saw this, so he entered with confidence.

After entering, a man came to greet them, "A few people are walking inside, and the shopkeeper is already waiting." ”

"I'm sorry for you, I'm waiting for us to freeze early in the morning, so let's buy tea." The old lady took out a few copper coins from her sleeve pocket and handed them to the young man, with a loving smile on her face.

The guy was a little surprised, it's not that he hasn't been rewarded, but the family doesn't look rich, and they are dressed very ordinarily, so they can still be rewarded.

"Thank you, don't tell anyone about our coming, it's not good to run an errand for someone to go out." The old lady smiled and stuffed the copper coin into the man's hand.

The guy understood, it turned out that he was afraid of causing trouble, and nodded again and again, "Don't worry, we have our rules, and you can't easily say what the guests are doing, otherwise it will be bad rules." ”

"Then I'll be relieved."

He led them into a hall, which was steaming hot, and immediately felt warm.

"You sit down first, and I'll call the shopkeeper."

After a while, the shopkeeper hurriedly came in and confessed again and again, "I'm sorry, there is a guest outside, I have a few words, it's too late." ”

"It doesn't matter." Chuanhu smiled at the shopkeeper, and then lowered his head to ask what his grandmother meant.

"Well, the shopkeeper is sorry for you, we have to exchange five hundred taels of gold, and then pick a set of gold heads to be inlaid with rubies, preferably old craftsmanship, you can't fool me!" Mrs. Li is very knowledgeable.

"Okay, don't worry, we have been doing business here for many years, our family is the most childlike, let me tell you that the gold has dropped a little recently, but not much. A tael of gold is the price of eight taels of silver. ”

The exchange price of gold will fluctuate, and if it is a disaster year, it will fluctuate greatly, and the price will be higher if there are more people exchanging gold, but now it is a peaceful and prosperous age, and there are not too many people exchanging gold, and silver and copper coins are more commonly used, so the price will drop a little.

But that's already good, and if you can save a little, it's a little.

"Yes, I'll exchange it for five hundred taels." The old lady pulled out the silver ticket.

"Okay, you wait for me to get it for you." The shopkeeper saw that the old lady had a very good idea, and knew that she was not the master who could fool her, so she simply took the things neatly.

After a while, a guy and the shopkeeper came in with a mahogany tray, the tray was still covered with a red cloth, and the man put down his things and retreated.

Lifting two pieces of red cloth, a tray is stacked gold ingots, each gold ingot is a standard weight of ten taels, stacked neatly and neatly stacked together.

On the other tray are two sets of heads, one is gold filigree inlaid ruby jewelry, and the other is tired gold inlaid ruby jewelry with emerald feathers, which is more beautiful and attractive.

The craftsmanship of jewelry with emerald feathers is more complex and rare, so the price will definitely be slightly higher.

"Old lady, look at which set you are more satisfied with, these are the latest styles in Jiangnan, they are all beautiful."

The old lady turned her head to look at Qiao Lan, "Choose a set you like." ”

Qiao Lan was also dazzled, these two sets of gold jewelry are very delicate and good-looking, and they are indeed good.

"How much does that cost? Grandma, I ....... Qiaolan wanted to say no, but in fact, she didn't think it was necessary, because there were really not many opportunities for peasant children to wear gold jewelry, and no one around wore gold, even if the silver was one or two, it was almost the same, and it was a silver earring like the big girl, which was already worn by rich people.

"Pick a set of grandmothers to give you a dowry, this is what you deserve, no excuses." The old lady was very resolute and had no room for manoeuvre.

Mother Li took a look at the one with the green feather, and said sharply, "I want this set of tired silk gold with the head of the green feather." ”

When the mother knows her daughter's thoughts, the first glance of Qiaolan just now fell on this set of emerald feather jewelry, she must like it.

"Okay, you really have a vision, there are not a few sets in Jiangnan in total, I grabbed a set back, and you came before you put it out, I'll wrap it up for you?" The shopkeeper really didn't dare to underestimate it at a glance, and he knew that he knew how to do it.

"How much does this cost?" Qiao Lan hurriedly went to get the silver ticket, it is estimated that it is indispensable.

"One hundred and sixty taels, I erased your fraction if I didn't want more, this is expensive in the craftsmanship and gemstones, this gem is pigeon blood, the color is very positive, rare."

The old lady nodded slightly, it was indeed good.

The old lady and Mother Li took out the money together, and Mother Li also took out a handkerchief, which was full of broken silver, and the old lady smiled, "How long have you been saving?" ”

"For many years, since she started embroidering purses, I have been saving private money, isn't this just to make a dowry for her?" Mother Li smiled and didn't care.

The handkerchief is very old and washed very clean, it is sixty taels, Mother Li has saved for many years, she has her own embroidery money and the money embroidered by Qiaolan over the years has been handed over to her, for her daughter to make a dowry, a piece of heart for the mother, although she knows that the old lady will never be wronged Qiaolan, but she still wants to save a little, and it is good to keep the money for her daughter to make makeup, is there silver in her heart.
