Chapter Fifty-Nine: Exchanging Bracelets
When my mother knew the source of Ye Feng's starting funds, she asked Ye Feng to go back to her hometown and send those oceans and everything back intact, according to Liu Xiangling's words, you can't take advantage of too much.
As for the remaining gold coins, just in time for the courtyard in the town to be vacated, after all, Ye Jianguo has been gone for several years, and the new official can't have no place to live, so he wears it on his body all day long, and he won't delay things anyway.
A few gold bars were confiscated by her mother, saying that Ye Feng couldn't use so much money anyway, and it was useless to keep it on her body, so she kept it in her hand to be Ye Feng's wife.
In Liu Xiangling's heart, gold bars are naturally more valuable than gold coins.
It's not that Liu Xiangling doesn't have knowledge, after all, the family has been down for many years, the so-called scholarly family, that is, the family has a little bit of four books and five classics, and has read more books than others since she was a child, how much knowledge can you have?
However, today's gold coin gave Liu Xiangling a long face, and the old lady had nothing to say when she saw the gold coin.
She also knows that the family foundation accumulated by the Ye family for several generations, if it weren't for the successive natural disasters**, even if the old Ye family has no one to be an official, it is still a big family in Heitao County.
The old lady had nothing to say, but her aunt's eyes lit up, and she saw the value of this gold coin at a glance from the bend.
Before I came from Bay Island, I had heard that the money here was easy to earn, so I bought collectible magazines, and even carried them with me, and I did exchange a lot of good things along the way.
"Yo, eldest niece, I didn't expect your mother-in-law's family to be a big family, this gold coin is incredible, it can indeed be worth a lot of money. To be honest, it's better on your side, the land is big, and there are so many good things. ”
"You see, I've bought a lot of good things along the way. You see, I bought these bracelets from a self-employed person, they're beautiful, aren't they?"
"Eldest niece, I see that you are not wearing anything, you are a very good-looking person, there is less decoration, what a pity, you pick one and try it, it will be a gift from your aunt. ”
As the uncle spoke, she took out a small handkerchief from her bag, and after opening it, seven or eight bracelets of various colors were revealed inside, and the quality of the jade should not be bad.
In Ye Feng's heart, he also admires his uncle very much, there are many people who have come to the mainland to visit relatives in the past few years, and there are not many people who can think about Taobao to make money.
The old lady took these bracelets to Bay Island, and it was not a big problem to earn at least hundreds of thousands.
If any bracelet can be found and inherited, I am afraid that it may be sold for millions at auction.
And looking at my aunt's generous appearance, it is estimated that the cost is only a few thousand yuan.
Liu Xiangling doesn't know about antiques or anything, but Yu knows a little.
Scholars pay attention to gentlemen like jade, and if they don't understand jade, can they be regarded as heirlooms of poetry and books?
Therefore, Liu Xiangling could see at a glance that these jade bracelets were extraordinary, and they should all be good things left over from large families in ancient times, so she hurriedly waved her hand at the moment.
"Auntie, what's so embarrassing, this can't work, it's too valuable. ”
"What's so embarrassing, it's just a bracelet. I'm not like your mother, this person, in a short life, you have to learn to enjoy life. ”
"Whatever he does, as long as he doesn't break the law, how can he make himself live well. Besides, being an official can't make the family feel better, so what else can you do as an official?"
"Just rely on that dead salary? There are no poor people in the world who are officials, and we have political donations on Bay Island, but in fact, isn't it just a high salary and a clean salary, and it sounds good, and it is no different from corruption, that is, it is just given explicitly, and the other is given secretly. ”
"Uncle Gaojian, what I said is really insightful. ”
Ye Feng applauded his uncle loudly, although before, his aunt looked down on mainlanders, which made him quite disgusted, but after more contact, Ye Feng found that this uncle really had a cute side.
"That's, what I hate the most is that kind of pretending to be tall. Pretending, this is not good, that is not allowed, in fact, it is not greedy for a good reputation? Greed for money and fame are all greed, who is more noble than whom?"
Ye Feng gave a thumbs up: "Uncle Gaoyi, there is no Donglin Party hypocrite in the late Ming Dynasty, and there are no well-dressed beasts in the previous dynasty, and the old lady in the palace who will not be fooled dares to shout to challenge the world, and there will not be so many traitorous treaties." ”
"I just don't know that the two dynasties are well-dressed beasts, and there are a few flat-headed people. ”
The two of you say a word, the old lady of the Liu family rolled her eyes, looking at the meaning, if the two of them continue to talk, the old lady may faint in anger.
"Okay, okay, Erbao, don't say a word. ”
Seeing that her mother was angry like this, Liu Xiangling couldn't bear it, and pulled Ye Feng and asked Ye Feng to say a few words.
Uncle and grandmother didn't have that scruples, and said two more sarcastic words, seeing that the old lady of the Liu family snorted angrily and didn't refute it, she probably didn't think it was interesting, and turned her head to look at Liu Xiangling and Ye Feng.
"Well, eldest niece, look at it, how about this bracelet? Why don't you take it with you?"
There was no way to be pulled by the old lady, so Liu Xiangling had to take it down, and the old lady handed her the green jade bracelet.
"Auntie, do you have mine? I think this red bracelet is good, it goes well with my clothes. ”
Liu Fengming was not polite at all, picked up a red jade bracelet and put it on his hand, and the old lady who looked at it straightened her teeth, and the corners of her mouth trembled for a long time, but she still didn't say anything.
Holding back her distress, the old lady said in a trembling voice: "Yes, you two sisters, you have both." Beauty with jade bracelets, but, eldest niece, I came to your mainland this time and bought a lot of souvenirs, but it's really the first time I've seen this kind of gold coin from the previous dynasty, can I take a look?"
"Okay, auntie, look. ”
Eating people with short mouths and short hands, although Liu Xiangling felt that something was not right, but people were so enthusiastic, she couldn't say anything, after handing the gold coin to the old lady, she looked down at the bracelet on her hand, which was quite likable.
The old lady picked up the gold coin and looked at it for a while, her hands trembling slightly.
I secretly like these people in my heart, and I don't know the value of this gold coin.
But in her magazine, she noticed something of high value.
Among them, there is this gold coin, the gold coins in the Guangxu period are mostly single dragon patterns, this kind of dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern gold coins are relatively rare, so they are more valuable.
"Auntie, since you like it, this gold coin will be given to you. ”
Liu Xiangling sighed, although she didn't know why her aunt liked this gold coin so much, but she also understood the other party's purpose.
Reactive power is not punished, so in exchange, everyone is good.
The old lady waited for Liu Xiangling's words, and after hearing it, she immediately agreed and quickly hid the gold coin.
"Our gold coins... , Uncle, you see that my mother and my aunt both have bracelets, we can't favor women over men, can you? You also give me a bracelet, and I will keep it for my future daughter-in-law. ”
Ye Feng stretched out his hand to stop his uncle, wanting to tell his mother the value of the gold coin.
But halfway through the words, I suddenly felt a heat in my chest.
This feeling was felt when the fourth prince gave him the obsidian pendant, and it seems that it may be that the system has taken a fancy to which bracelet again, so he quickly changed his mouth.
"Okay, my uncle is happy today, and if I celebrate the New Year, I will give my grandson a red envelope, but if I give you a bracelet, I won't have any New Year's money. ”
"Hehe, I'm not going to ask for money. ”
