Zhou Shuren pointed to the silver money, "The rent is fifty-five taels, as jewelry two hundred and fifty taels, this time the pearl necklace and bracelet are better than the last time, plus the pearls in the north are more expensive than those in the south, when it is fifty taels more, I directly exchanged two hundred silver tickets, ten taels of gold, five taels of silver horns to break silver." ”

Zhulan is not at ease with the silver ticket, she prefers the physical object, "Let's exchange it for a hundred taels of gold, and the silver ticket will be left for a hundred taels after a hundred or two days to travel." ”

Zhou Shuren, "Let's go out together tomorrow and change it back." ”

Zhulan spent nine hundred and fifty taels to buy a shop, ten taels to invite a banquet, and there were more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver left, plus more than three hundred taels of silver for rent, and a total of more than four hundred and fifty taels in her hand. ”

Zhou Shuren took out fifty taels, "Give this money to Brother Zhao when he leaves, let him help buy furniture, and the rest is a thank you fee." ”

Zhulan is not afraid that Zhao Bo will deceive them, Zhao Bo will not do this for the sake of his family and his own reputation, and Zhao Bo has helped the family a lot, why is he not optimistic about Zhou Shuren, and he will not lose a lot of money because of the early investment.

In ancient times, some families liked to help poor students, how could it not be an early investment, and if they really had a chance in the future, they would definitely give back and shelter, and there were few white-eyed wolves for the sake of fame.

It took five days to get everything from home to Pingzhou, and Zhulan and Zhou Shuren planned to go shopping for two days.

Pingzhou is the largest state city in the north, in the north of the city is not as prosperous as Pingzhou, continue to the north is the garrison stationed, the nearby are penal colonies, the county is garrisoned by the family, not prosperous.

Early the next morning, Zhulan packed up the money, and finally saw her house with her burden, there are more than a dozen courtyard rooms in the two, there are two kitchens, one in the backyard, one in the front yard, and there is a well in the happiest yard of Zhulan, after carefully looking, Zhulan is very satisfied.

I saw the house, and took a carriage to see the shop, because there are many shops in Nancheng, Zhulan took her daughter to visit a lot of shops, Pingzhou's leather is very famous, Zhulan couldn't help but go in.

There are a lot of people coming and going in the store, the guy is very busy, Zhulan didn't inquire, listening to the guy to introduce to other guests, the best fire fox skin is thirty taels, the white fox skin is rare eighty taels, and there are bear skins, which is more expensive to hundreds of taels, mink skins are inferior to more than a dozen taels, and good ones are also twenty taels.

Zhulan touched it and didn't buy it, and when she returned to the carriage, Zhulan said to Zhou Shuren: "The skins in Pingzhou are cheaper than those in the capital, and the skins in the northern frontier are cheaper. ”

Zhou Shuren went out for a trip and had a deep understanding of ancient times, "Don't think about going to the north to collect skins, there are fixed people in the north to collect them, and no one sold you in the past, no matter how much money you pay, you don't dare to sell it, and you will buy it in Pingzhou in the future, or whoever near your home will buy it back!" ”

Zhulan said, "It's a pity, there is a lot of price difference in the middle!" ”

Zhou Shuren said faintly: "You are not the only one who is smart, everyone knows that the price difference is big, and no one dares to stretch out their hands. ”

Zhulan doesn't talk about it anymore, it's better to be cautious outside.

The carriage arrived at the jewelry shop, Zhulan likes jewelry very much in modern times, and prefers ancient jewelry.

The jewelry shops in the state city are much more advanced than those in the county, and the first floor is not only gold and silver jewelry, but also some agate and gemstone inlaid vermilion.

Zhulan's eyes lit up, the gold earrings with broken rubies, the hollow silver hairpins inlaid with agate, and the bracelets were all very beautiful.

Zhou Shuren finally realized the feeling of a friend spending money on his girlfriend, as long as he likes to spend as much as he likes, it is worth it, "If you like it, buy it, don't be reluctant." ”

Zhulan's hands itched and grinned, "Okay." ”

Pointing to the hairpin and bracelet, "Man, what's the price?" ”

The guys are all sharp-eyed, and they can guess what customers to buy and what customers can guess, this is the customer who wants to buy, and the enthusiastic introduction, "Madame's vision is really good, these two are a set of jewelry, the hollow design is delicate and lightweight, the ruby embellishment adds wealth, and the lady adds the earrings next to it, and the whole set is fifteen taels of silver." ”

Zhulan was not fooled by the guys, although it was inlaid with rubies, but it was a broken gem left over from the leftovers, and the color was not good, so she didn't say that she wanted to buy it, but said: "Take out the jewelry suitable for eight or nine-year-old girls." ”

The man is not in a hurry, experience tells him that the more he does not bargain, the more he wants to buy, he opened the cabinet and took the children's jewelry, "These bracelets and earrings are suitable for little girls, sapphires, agate." ”

Zhulan liked it at a glance, the adult's jewelry is atmospheric, the little girl's jewelry is varied, and she also brought some broken gems, even if she took it out as a guest, it didn't look shabby, Zhulan asked the price, "How do you calculate these prices?" ”

Man, "The child is not expensive, a pair of bracelets inlaid with precious stones for a tael of silver, earrings and a half and a taels." ”

Zhulan picked out four sets of bracelets and earrings, and then selected the jewelry she was optimistic about just now, and then picked out three silver hairpins with precious stones, which cost a total of twenty-eight taels.

Zhulan paid the money, even if she was reluctant to buy it, Zhou Shuren came to Pingzhou in the future, she came to entertain guests, and a little jewelry was not easy to see.

Zhou Shuren didn't know when he went to the second floor, and when Zhulan paid, Zhou Shuren held a small box in his hand, and returned to the carriage, Zhulan asked, "What did you buy?" ”

Zhou Shuren opened the small box, which contained some broken gems from leftovers, "There are custom jewelry upstairs, and there are a lot of gemstones, so I picked some ones that look a little shiny and bought them, and it cost a total of twenty taels." ”

Zhulan counted the leftovers of various gemstones, "You want to take the gems yourself and find someone to customize them?" ”

Zhou Shuren smiled, "The gold and silver jewelry styles at home have long been old, so it's better to melt them and make them new, as for how to do it, I don't know how to leave it to you." ”

Zhulan took the box, "Wait until you have a reputation, otherwise you can't bring some jewelry to make." ”

Just like her rare jewelry forehead pendant, ordinary people are not allowed, she just saw several official women in the jewelry shop, very arrogant, but very beautiful.

It's a pity that the guy didn't wait for her to speak, and directly popularized some jewelry, who can buy and who can bring it, to put it bluntly, it is a class-specific superiority!

Zhou Shuren didn't study jewelry, he really didn't know that jewelry had so many studies, he just thought that he didn't have dragon and phoenix carvings.

Then I went to the ready-to-wear shop, there is no shortage of fabrics at home, Zhulan mainly looks at the style of the clothes, and at a glance I fell in love with the yellow cloak, and the secret road is fortunate that the emperor does not wear yellow, and the overhead dynasty does not stipulate that it is not allowed to wear yellow.

In the end, I bought some cakes unique to Pingzhou, and bought some exquisite wood carvings for a few children as gifts, ate lunch outside, and returned to the inn after dark.

On the second day, I went to the temple in Pingzhou, and Zhulan also looked forward to meeting the Taoist monks to guide the maze or something, and as a result, there were many officials and family members who came to worship the Buddha, and there were family members everywhere to stop them, not to mention the monks, and even the monks did not see a few, and they were all called to chant the scriptures.

Pingzhou except the temple has nothing to visit, the exquisite garden is not like the later world is the scenic spot open to the public, in ancient times were private can not enter, back to the inn to pack luggage, the next day with the convoy home.

Back in Zhoujia Village, it was not yet dark, Zhulan swept around the people and asked the boss, "What about the Li family?" ”
