Chapter 12 Raising Money
"Hey, this sister, although you are good-looking, you can't wronged people? When did I kill your young lady? Gui Mingyue asked.
"I ...... My young lady is the daughter of Wang Dahu's family, and you used a silver step to shake her last time to replace her with three gold hairpins, do you remember. ”
I...... Pretty? Cuihuan quietly glanced at the small bronze mirror on the shelf of the merchant next to her, hum, she still has a vision!
"Oh, Miss Wang, sisters, you give a comment, although my step is silver, but it is high-quality silver, that Liangyou...... Tsk, look at the ears of my companions, which are of the same kind of silver. Not to mention this material, even that style, it is also a first-class novelty and exquisiteness, and this kind of step shake has to be sold for twenty taels in that Sheng Bao Zhai......
When everyone heard this, they saw the two bright stars on Zhuang Jumping's earlobes, and secretly said yes in their hearts.
"Besides, the ones in your young lady's head box are indeed mostly made of gold and jade, but that style is ...... Tsk, I think Miss Wang can't take a fancy to it. With three discarded hairpins for a beloved step shake, your young lady is really not a loss. Gui Mingyue continued.
"No loss, no loss" several little girls agreed.
"Yes, I heard that Miss Wang's head jewelry, hehe, that's called a rustic, my young lady said that it is often rumored to be a laughing stock in the school." Another maid from a large family in green clothes said.
"You, you dare to say this about our young lady!" Cuihuan is a little maid who protects the lord, and she reprimands angrily when she hears this.
"That's it, everybody says that, can you shut everyone's mouths?" The maid in green clothes said disdainfully.
"Alright, alright, sisters, don't argue, do you want to buy this earring?" Gui Mingyue hurriedly got to the point.
"Yes, yes" When the little girls heard this, they all actively signed up, and even the two maids who quarreled quickly stopped and stepped forward to respond.
"Our family's head jewelry is inherited from the Yu family in Jiangling Mansion, and we can not only make those exquisite and novel earrings, but also those hairpin rings, step shakes, head crowns, and hand hammers...... All of them have been done, but at the moment they are still dominated by small pieces of jewelry. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, we will go to the market to sell, and when the time comes, please also invite the sisters to enjoy it. Yue'er first gave New Year's greetings to my sisters, and I wish my sister a new year old with a radiant face...... "Gui Mingyue said a bunch of thieves.
Hehe, this round-faced little girl is festive and speaks smoothly. The little girls who were called sisters all said that they would go to cheer her up when the time came, and promised to bring more little sisters with them.
Gui Mingyue happily bought five or six strings of sugar gourds, and bought a small monkey candy man for Zhuang Jumping and Gui Chengqi.
"Mingyue, where did you come from so many good things to say, I don't usually see you tell me this?"
"Cut, tell you, will you give me the silver?"
……
"Mingyue, you love silver so much, why did you buy us so many sugar gourds?"
"Cut, I'm a money-loving person, not a miser, okay?"
……
The Yu family and Gui Hongyuan here counted the silver coins in the box in the house and began to worry.
"Aunt Zhuang said that their family spent nearly thirty taels of silver to build these six houses at that time, and now our silver adds up to less than ten taels before and after, and there are five taels to be given to Lizheng, and there is very little silver left." Yu whispered.
"I didn't expect it to cost so much money to buy a few cottages. A few days later, I went to the yamen to advance half a year's salary, and I could almost have a dozen taels. Gui Hongyuan thought about it, but it was still far from enough.
"I discussed with the children and thought about making this new house more decent...... It is estimated that it will be less than fifty taels. ”
Alas! Gui Hongyuan and Yu sighed at the same time.
The homestead has been bought, and it seems that additional money is needed to build a house.
