Chapter 190: The Silver Hairpin

Zhen Jiang expressed his jealousy, and Cai Yan also followed: "As soon as Yu'er's sister's big pen comes out, the beauty picture drawn by my sister and the poetry collection copied by my own hand seem to be unavailable?" What should you do if you call your sister? ”

Diao Chan echoed: "Yes, yes, my sister must know that my sister has no family, and the property in her name is only the Dahan Weaving Factory that His Majesty gave me." My sister didn't have any other gifts to give, and she only had all kinds of fabrics in her hand.

With Zhao Yu's sister's Zhuyu in front, even if my sister uses the best and best fabric to cut clothes for Mei Niang, she can't seem to do it! ”

Zhao Yu said embarrassedly: "I didn't think of these, what can I do?" Your Majesty, Your Majesty, come and help your concubine come up with ideas! ”

Liu Kun deliberately made a disappointed expression and said to the concubines: "Alas~! You women, who are about to become monks, why should you value these mortal things.

If it is practical, it is the best wedding dress cut by Diao Chan, if it is the current value, it is naturally Zhao Yu's pearl as the most, if it is about the long-term value, after a thousand years, Wen Ji's painting and hand-copied book will surpass that string of pearl necklaces.

Furthermore, the gift itself represents only a person's heart!

I'll give you an analogy; There was a man who had two friends, one with a fortune of hundreds of millions, and the other with a destitute family, with only thirty acres of land and a cow distributed by the imperial court.

If a scholar wants to come to Luoyang for the examination, he needs to entangled 10,000 yuan, but he has no money at home.

The two friends found out about this, and the wealthy businessman sent 20,000 yuan in money, which was enough to spend all the way back and forth. And friends from poor families. He sold his family's cattle and gave all the money he earned from the sale of cattle to the scholars.

What do you think; Which of these two friends has a stronger friendship? ”

After listening to the story, the women began to chatter;

Diao Chan said: "If you talk about value. Naturally, the rich merchant was heavier, and even if the farmer sold his cattle, he only gave 10,000 yuan to the scholar. ”

Zhao Yu retorted: "No, no, Your Majesty is asking about friendship, not value!" I think it was the friendship of the peasants who was more important, and even sold the cattle that cultivated the land for the sake of friends.

It's like Sister Diao using the best fabric. It took a few days to cut the wedding dress for Mei Niang's sister, this friendship. It's not how much money can be measured~! ”

Zhen Jiangjue's two of them seemed to be reasonable, but they were a little bit worse, and asked Yu Yan and Cai Yan one by one: "Yan and Wen Ji are both talented women, which of the two do you think has a more important friendship?" ”

Cai Yan smiled and said, "I think the friendship between Shizi's two friends is very important!" ”

Zhen Jiang asked, "Why?" That farmer used the money from the sale of cattle~! Yan'er, what do you say? ”

Yu Yan turned her head and glanced at Liu Kun. Seeing that Liu Kun had no intention of speaking. Said to the women: "Sister Cai Yan is right, friendship is only true or not, not heavy or not." These two friends are sincere to Shizi, so I think their friendship is equally important~! ”

Zhen Jiang asked, "But what about the farmer's net worth?" Your Majesty, what do you say? ”

Liu Kun replied: "Yan'er's answer is quite standard, this matter depends on whose perspective the problem is;

If you look at it from the perspective of a wealthy businessman; When a friend entered Beijing for the examination, the rich businessman gave him double the entanglement. As a friend, the performance of the wealthy businessman is beyond reproach.

If it is from the perspective of farmers; The farmer sold his only cultivated cattle. To help a friend, naturally people have nothing to say, although I do not advocate such a practice, but I am very envious of that scholar, to have such a friend.

Generally speaking, the friendship between the two is true, and the true affection cannot be measured by the amount of money or the size of the price. The reason why the peasant paid a big price was because his ability was too different from that of the rich merchants, but he could not deny the friendship of the rich merchants because of this.

Today's concubines give gifts to Mei Niang, and it's the same!

Yu'er gave her beloved pearl to Mei Niang, naturally she was sincere, and Wen Ji gave Mei Niang the paintings she made and the poems that took several days to copy, Diao Chan spent a few days making wedding dresses for Mei Niang, and the queen ran before and after, and contributed money and efforts to cast a phoenix crown for Mei Niang, and Yan'er wrote teaching materials suitable for Mei Niang, all of which were general and sincere.

This friendship cannot be measured by the value of items! ”

After speaking, Liu Kun took out a flattened, silver phoenix-shaped hairpin and said: "If you talk about the value, compared with the treasure I want to give to Mei Niang, whether you give a necklace, a piece of clothing, or a book, it is like a needle and thread."

When the girls heard that there was a treasure, they all came to Liu Kun's side, looked at the silver hairpin for a long time, and did not see any fame, so they asked puzzledly:

"Soon a silver hairpin? Is it a treasure? ”

"Yes! This is a silver hairpin, right? ”

Mei Niang took the hairpin and held it in her hand, feeling that this hairpin was heavy, although it was the same size as other hairpins, and the weight was several times that of other hairpins, and it weighed two (Han system) pounds.

How do you wear such a heavy hairpin? Mei Niang asked puzzledly: "Senior brother gave people such a heavy hairpin and put it on his head, it will be very tiring after a long time~!" ”

Liu Kun took the silver hairpin from Mei Niang's hand, used his mana, and shouted softly: "Big!" The silver hairpin rose in response to the sound and turned into a silver long sword with cold light, and then Liu Kun shouted again: "Small! The silver sword changed back to the shape of a hairpin.

Ignoring the surprise of the women, Liu Kun shouted softly again: "Go!" The silver hairpin went straight to Mei Niang's workbench, and with a few sounds of 'do, do, do', passed back and forth from the iron countertop several times, and flew back into Liu Kun's hand.

Mei Niang took it happily, pretending to follow Liu Kun's appearance and shouted: "Big!" ”

Unexpectedly, the silver hairpin did not react, and Mei Niang said depressedly: "Senior brother, she doesn't listen to me~!" ”

Liu Kun smiled and said: "I refined 20,000 pieces of silver, and I got two catties of silver essence, and I used two catties of silver to refine this silver hairpin magic weapon."

Magic Weapon! ――As the name suggests, you need mana to urge, and you can use this silver hairpin when the charm girl cultivates her mana! ”

When the concubines heard about 20,000 pounds of silver, they were all very shocked, no matter whether this silver hairpin had become a magic weapon, just 20,000 catties of silver was not a small number.

Although silver was scarce in the Han Dynasty, its price was always inferior to gold, and the main reason was that silver played too little role.

For the people of the Han Dynasty, silver could not be circulated as money like gold, and this metal basically had no other use except for making jewelry.

Zhen Jiang, who came from a wealthy family, knew that even if it was a top family like the Zhen family, the silver in the family was only a few hundred catties.

A few years ago, a wealthy merchant wanted to build a batch of silver bowls and buy a thousand catties of silver from the market, but after three days, the silver was not fully collected, but the price of silver exceeded that of gold.

If you want to gather 20,000 silver, it will cause the price of silver to skyrocket, even if it rises several times that of gold, it is not impossible. (To be continued......)
