Chapter 6 is incomprehensible

This phoenix hairpin is actually made of pure gold.

An old woman in a coarse cloth dress, with patches on her body, but she was holding such valuable jewelry in her hands.

Not only were the ladies of the silk village stunned, but even the ladies and ladies who were gorgeously dressed looked at this side in amazement.

Even more surprising than them was Chen Siyu.

She was suddenly exposed by her mother, and she felt so surprised.

In my impression, my family has never had such a valuable thing, why didn't I know that there was such a golden hairpin?

"Mother, this ......"

She wanted to ask her mother about the origin of this golden hairpin, but after thinking about it again, she was afraid that this question would cause the store to question and surprise the official, but it would be troublesome, so she couldn't help but ask.

Although she forcibly held back and did not say a word, her big beautiful eyes betrayed her.

Obviously, even she, who is a daughter, doesn't know that her mother has such a hairpin.

The guys in the silk village are all human spirits, and they think this matter is too strange, so they hurriedly call the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of the silk cloth village is surnamed Sun, called Sun Youcai, a short and fat rich little old man, with a pair of small eyes staring at this golden hairpin, with a suspicious expression.

Chen's mother took out this hairpin, and wanted to convert some silver money to make a good wedding dress for her daughter, but she didn't expect to cause such a big movement.

She regretted it a little.

"Old sister-in-law, can you take a step to speak?"

Although the shopkeeper Sun is also well-informed, he has never seen such a delicately made hairpin, so he was busy beckoning the men to serve tea while inviting Chen's mother into the inner hall.

Chen Siyu wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the guy, "This young lady, please wait outside for a while!" ”

Mother Chen hurriedly turned around, nodded at her, and signaled that there was nothing to worry about, so she had to stop.

In the inner hall, Shopkeeper Sun asked straight to the point: "Old sister-in-law, can you give me this hairpin and let me take a closer look?"

Chen's mother didn't go out for a long time, and she rarely had the heart to defend against people, so she handed him a golden hairpin.

When the shopkeeper saw her just hand it over, he had no heart to defend him, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, so he took the hairpin in his hand and carefully identified it.

This golden hairpin, the shape is a rare Feng Nanfei, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and several gems on the tail feathers are shining.

The red is agate, the green is jade, the blue is turquoise, and even the feathers on the phoenix are clearly expressed with gold wire, and the whole phoenix is ready to fly.

He was almost stunned.

At first glance, it is the handiwork of a famous artist, in terms of gold alone, at most three hundred taels of silver, but if you talk about this process, the price has increased more than ten times.

Three hundred taels of silver is ten times more than three thousand taels of silver, such a high profit, his heart is beating wildly, but his face does not show the slightest.

"Old sister-in-law, this hairpin is really valuable, ......what do you mean?"

He won't talk about it anymore, he wants to explore Chen's mother's tone, he thinks that Chen's mother is a beautiful lady in the middle of the family, and she may not know the true value of this golden hairpin.

Sure enough, as he expected, Chen's mother just said to him, "My daughter is older, and I'm sick, I don't think time is long, I can use this gold hairpin to convert some cash, pull a few feet of fine brocade, and make a full set of wedding dresses!" ”

The above good brocade is used as a full set of four-season wedding dresses, at most only five hundred taels of silver, and Chen's mother said this, which can be regarded as revealing the bottom, so that he has a number in his heart.

He couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and pretended to be a little embarrassed on his face, so he couldn't say: "Oh, it's a little worse to say this!"

Mother Chen was a little surprised when she heard this, "What's the matter, such a golden hairpin is not enough?" ”

When Chen's mother asked, he was a little flustered, so he didn't dare to blackmail too much, he thought to himself, just accept it when he sees it.

"It's not much worse, but it's only twenty or thirty taels of silver, I can make some!"

But Chen's mother was still very realistic, and hurriedly said: "In this way, I have never taken advantage of others!"

After she said this, her eyes fell on the silver bracelet on her wrist, and her eyes became gentle.

But in an instant, as if thinking of something bad, his expression suddenly became resolute, and he took off the silver bracelet.

That silver bracelet had been on her wrist for a long time!

Chen Siyu outside had been waiting anxiously, and soon, as soon as the door of the inner hall opened, Chen's mother and the shopkeeper Sun walked out with smiles on their faces.

It seems that it is negotiated.

Chen Siyu was quickly served by several maids, measured the size, and then chose the fabric.

Mother Chen rubbed a silky smooth satin on baby skin with a pair of calloused hands, and a familiar feeling returned, and a long-lost smile bloomed on her face.

Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly assured her, "Old sister-in-law, this is a real silkworm, not mixed with a little silkworm fabric, you must have heard of it, this inch of gold is ......."

"I can feel it, it's a good thing!"

Mother Chen caressed these fabrics very lovingly, called Siyu next to her, picked up her hand, and touched the smooth fabric together.

This made Siyu very uncomfortable, she always felt that she was from a poor background, how could she be worthy of such a luxurious fabric.

Aren't these fabrics only worn by the wives and ladies of wealthy families?

And she is just a daughter from a humble background.

"Mother, these fabrics are excellent, but where am I worthy, besides, people like us can afford to wear such good things."

After Siyu said this, he saw his mother's face turned cold, turned his head, and said to her with a very serious expression: "Siyu, you are my daughter, you are not born in a poor family, I can't tell you too much, but you only need to remember one sentence, at any time, you must not surrender your identity."

Chen Siyu was very surprised when he heard his mother's words, obviously he was born poor!

Once upon a time, when I was young, my mother did laundry to support herself and her younger brother for those wealthy families.

It's just that my health hasn't been very good over the years, so that's it.

She is also in the academy, she can get some silver, there is no need for her mother to do such a hard work again, why today, my mother will say to herself, she is not born in a poor family.

Chen saw that his daughter's face was full of doubts, and he didn't want to say anything more, because after all, there were many people here.

And Siyu saw that her mother was a little unhappy, so she didn't want to ask anything more.

It's just that she has a feeling.

That is, until today, I thought I was familiar with everything about my mother, but now it seems. She still can't see through her mother.

The conversation between their mother and daughter here made the shopkeeper Sun next to him listen to it, and it confirmed his conjecture.

It seems that this old woman used to be considered a prominent family, but I don't know how she became so depressed.

Siyu really doesn't understand, why does her mother have to make a wedding dress for herself?

This gave her a faint sense of unease.

At that moment, she saw her mother's face bloom with a very happy smile, and her eyes were full of hope.

I didn't want to let my mother be too disappointing, so I had to follow her and make a wedding dress for myself, but he was so distressed by the golden hairpin. There's that golden hairpin. Presumably my family will have a good life.

Why did her own mother have to do this? She really couldn't figure it out.

It's really like a play.

Siyu's mother and daughter went out of the silk village, and Chen's mother, who had a sick face on weekdays, was radiant at the moment.

And Siyu, who is very happy on weekdays, just didn't say a word, and his face was heavy.

Seeing Siyu's upset, Chen's mother knew that her daughter was blaming herself, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Do you feel sorry for that hairpin?"

Siyu nodded and said yes.

Mother Chen sighed and turned her face to look at the sky in the distance.

At this time, the red sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was approaching, and she faintly felt that the days she could accompany her children were getting fewer and fewer.

When a person comes to this world, he must leave something behind!

She took a closer look at Siyu, she was supposed to live in the boudoir, the age to be married, but she had to show up for the sake of her family, dressing up as a man every day, she really worked hard for this family.

Thinking of this, my heart is full of sourness.

"Over the years, I've wronged you!"

When Chen's mother opened her mouth to say this, the tears in her eyes were already flowing down unconsciously, followed by a violent cough.

"Mother!"

Siyu hurriedly hugged her mother, she coughed so much that she was so uncomfortable that she squatted on the ground, and it took a long time to recover.

"Mother, why don't you leave this golden hairpin to my younger brother, he is about to enter the spring season, and it is time to spend money!"

Siyu couldn't figure out why Chen's mother did this.

I saw my mother waving her hand weakly, and it took a long time before she said slowly: "Your brother has already remembered this hairpin, and if he doesn't give you a dowry today, I'm afraid that he will be used as a gambling fund tomorrow!"

Siyu realized that her mother had already known that her younger brother had already become addicted to gambling.

My heart has been cut like a knife.

"My mother wanted to leave that hairpin to you, but your brother was too angry, and you hid it from me to pay him back several gambling accounts, I didn't know it......"

Chen's mother was heartbroken at this time, and she fell to the ground in tears.

Siyu suddenly felt guilty and hurriedly went to help, "Mother, he is changing, isn't there a saying, the prodigal son will not change his money?" Yoon-sik really went to visit his mentor this time. ”

This kind of comfort even Siyu himself felt pale and powerless.

Mother Chen hurriedly pulled her daughter closer, stroked her face with her hand, and persuaded: "Siyu, give up, just take care of yourself, a man is hopeless when he gets involved in gambling!"

"Mother, my brother has changed, don't feel bad......"

Mother Chen held Siyu's face with both hands, hugged it in her arms, and cried: "My stupid girl!"

While the mother and daughter were hugging and crying, two men appeared in the twilight.

It turned out that they had been following from a distance from the silk village.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, obviously, their mother and daughter have already been targeted.

I only heard one of them laugh cruelly: "Old thing, it's quite good at pretending to be poor!"
