"Two taels of silver?" Ruan Zhiyuan's eyes lit up.

Ruan Ling leaned towards him and whispered, "Two taels of silver, you can buy another hairpin for your second sister-in-law." ”

Last time, Huiniang took out all her dowry and paid it to the princess.

Ruan Ling wanted to give her the silver directly, but after thinking about it, it would be better to take the opportunity to ask Ruan Zhiyuan to pull a few pilgrims for her, and then let Ruan Zhiyuan buy a hairpin for her.

Ruan Zhiyuan was really tempted.

He and Huiniang are newlyweds, and they have long wanted to buy jewelry for her, but they are helpless.

"Little sister, where did you get the money?" He asked.

"Sell the rest of Ganoderma lucidum." Ruan Ling said with a grin.

"Wow, you're hiding your secrets."

"What's the matter?" Ruan Ling squinted at him, "You have the ability to hide one." ”

“…… Hum. Ruan Zhiyuan had nothing to say.

The family did not require their siblings to hand over the money.

As long as they have the ability to earn it, they can keep it for their own use.

Ruan Zhiyuan sat up straight and said, "Okay! In a word! Father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, you have all heard it, but you have to be a witness, so that when you don't get it, your little sister will not admit it. ”

Ruan Lingdao: "When did the words I say change?" ”

Hui Niang said: "Little sister, don't bet with your second brother, he wants to be bad." ”

"It's fine." Ruan Ling said with a smile.

"But how do you know the weight of the girl?" Ruan Zhiyuan was worried.

"Isn't this simple, don't you know if you go to Lizheng's house and weigh it?" Chen Shufeng said with a smile, "Every year in the beginning of autumn, the children in the village have to be weighed, and we are still children, what can't be weighed." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll borrow it!" Ruan Zhiyuan pulled the eldest brother, "Big brother, the wooden scale is very heavy, you go with me to carry it." ”

In the afternoon, when the rain gradually stopped, the two brothers went to Lizheng's house and borrowed a large wooden scale, with a weighing scale at one end and a large basket at the other.

The ancients generally didn't weigh much, and their height and weight were basically measured by sight, but the children had to weigh them.

Soon, the brothers returned with a large wooden scale.

The whole family gathered around.

Ruan Ling looked at the scales and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

It's not Taicheng, it's not a scale, it's a rod scale!

The man is to sit in the basket.

What about Cao Chong's elephant?

After thinking about it, the operation of that method was a bit difficult, so Ruan Ling gave up the struggle, obediently sat in the basket, and asked his brothers to weigh themselves.

Ruan Chengde and Jin looked at the stars on the scales at the other end, counted and said, "Yo, we have eighty pounds!" ”

Ruan Ling: "!! ”

Eighty pounds?

This eighty percent is a broken scale, right?

According to her own estimates, her current height is about one meter fifty-eight, and her weight must be one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds.

At the age of thirteen, this height is about the same, but the weight is too heavy.

Of course, this is all Ruan Ling's modern eyes to look at himself.

She jumped off the basket: "This scale is broken, isn't it?" How could I be only eighty pounds? ”

The whole family laughed like crazy.

"Do you think that eighty pounds is quite light?" Ruan Zhiyuan pointed to the second sister-in-law, "Look at your second sister-in-law, she is only sixty pounds!" ”

Ruan Ling: "......"

You're kidding me.

She always felt that something was wrong.

"Show me the scale." She ran to the weighing stone at the other end and looked at the star on the scale.

Looking at it, she understood.

The ancient unit of measurement was not the same as the modern one.

In ancient times, a pound was 16 taels, unlike in modern times, it was 10 taels a catty.
