Chapter 111: Liyuan Spring Thirteen
"Still won't work."
"Why?"
Liu Banyue said: "These two cups are so precious, let's leave them to you as a dowry." ”
Peace: "......"
Ping An was moved, Liu Banyue's choice was all full of love for her daughter.
Ping'an hugged Liu Banyue's arm, rested his head on Liu Banyue's shoulder, and said angrily: "Dad, I know you are good with me." But I want to be nice to you, and I'm going to help you out. If you don't let me be a cup, then you will take the gold and silver from my dowry. ”
"Nope." Liu Banyue will never touch her daughter's dowry.
"Then we will only be a cup, and leave a cup for my dowry. What do you think? Ping An proposed.
Liu Banyue: "......"
He eventually agreed to his daughter's offer. The people in the troupe have been with him for so long, he doesn't want to treat them badly, and wants to give them more money as severance pay, so that they can settle down and buy a house and live a good life.
The next day, Liu Banyue and Ping'an found an excuse to leave Tianshui Village and go to Huzhou. The quilt is too precious, and it can't be much in these places in the county town, so Ping An suggested that the two go to Huzhou to sell it.
When they came to Huzhou, Ping An and Liu Banyue put on makeup before going to the pawnshop. Liu Banyue has a lot of makeup and painting, and she has practiced a good makeup technique. He himself dressed as an old woman, Ping'an was still dressed as a boy, but his facial features had changed because of his makeup, and his skin was also painted black and yellow, which looked very inconspicuous.
The two of them inquired in Huzhou City for a few days to collect news, and selected the most reputable pawnshop and walked in.
"What are you two going to do?" The guy looked at the clothes on the two of them and was not shabby, not like the poor people who came to the pawnshop to make things because they couldn't get by, and their attitude was naturally much better.
"Man, is your shopkeeper here? The old man has an ancestral item that he wants to ask the shopkeeper to pass by. Liu Banyue imitated the old woman's voice. He originally sang Danjiao, and his voice was not much worse than that of a woman, and then he made him hoarse, really talking to an old woman.
As soon as he heard the ancestral items, the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter stood up, walked out and said to the two: "The shopkeeper is below, please two inside." ”
The shopkeeper led Liu Banyue and Ping'an to the inner room, invited the two of them to sit down, and asked, "What does the old lady want me to see below?" ”
Liu Banyue took out a Coca-Cola cup from her bag and put it on the table.
The shopkeeper's eyes almost popped out: "This is a glass cup?" The purple glass cup, don't say I haven't seen it, I haven't heard of it. ”
Liu Banyue smiled: "The shopkeeper doesn't see it now." ”
"Yes, yes, the old lady's blessing can actually see such treasures below." The shopkeeper's eyes fell on the cup and he couldn't take it off, and his hands rubbed and rubbed on his clothes before he carefully picked up the cup and examined it carefully.
In modern times, you can buy one for two yuan, but in ancient times, you can't buy one for two thousand taels of silver.
Finally, the shopkeeper reluctantly put down the cup and turned his head to look at Liu Banyue: "Old lady, are you willing to cede this cup?" ”
Liu Banyue glanced at the cup with a reluctant look, and sighed: "This cup is the ancestral heirloom of the old body, and it was originally intended to be passed on to future generations......"
The shopkeeper said this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and it seemed that the old woman had deliberately transferred the bottle.
“…… It's just that the children and grandchildren of the family are not angry, which leads to difficulties in the family business, and the old body has to give up this ancestral thing......" The "old woman" sighed and said authentically.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old lady, we will definitely give you a good price when the price is fair." That, are you alive or dead? ”
The "old woman" sighed and said, "Die, with the indisputability of my children and grandchildren, this cup will definitely not be redeemed." ”
The shopkeeper was happy, and said busily: "If you die, our pawnshop will give you five thousand taels of silver, what do you think?" ”
"Ten thousand taels." Liu Banyue said, "This is an ancestral heirloom. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Old lady, we are a pawnshop here." ”
"Eight thousand taels, if it doesn't work, I'll change it." Liu Banyue Road.
The shopkeeper hurriedly comforted Liu Banyue, pretended to be embarrassed to think about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, eight thousand is eight thousand." ”
On the surface, it looks like a loss, but in fact, the shopkeeper is already happy in his heart. The purple and so crystal clear glass cup, I am afraid that there is no one in the palace, and I am afraid that someone will buy it for 100,000 taels. I have made a meritorious contribution this time.
The shopkeeper personally took out eight silver tickets and gave them to Liu Banyue, who put the silver tickets on his chest and walked out of Yong'an with peace. The two did not go back to the inn and went out of the city directly. After walking a long way from the city, Liu Banyue suddenly sat down on the ground.
He covered his chest, the silver ticket was thin and fluttering, so that he could hardly feel his existence, and he couldn't help but ask Ping'an: "Aren't we dreaming?" ”
Ping An grinned: "Dad, my daughter promises, you are not dreaming, our cup is really worth eight thousand taels of silver." ”
"Eight thousand taels?" Liu Banyue's breathing became thicker, he couldn't imagine such a large sum of silver, but now it was in his arms!
"Peace, no wonder your second uncle and your third uncle always say that you are lucky. You're really a lucky star. ”
Ping An smiled: "Dad, with me, a lucky star with you, your luck will get better and better." ”
Liu Banyue agrees with this very much, before adopting Ping An, he spent the first half of his life wandering around with the troupe and suffered a lot; After encountering peace, he and the troupe finally settled down, lived a stable life, and always turned evil into good fortune, and now he still has a stable life when he doesn't sing, he can eat and dress warmly, and now he has such a large amount of silver......
Liu Banyue said: "Half of the eight thousand taels of silver will be taken out to buy a dowry for you, and the rest will be distributed to other people in the troupe." ”
Ping An hurriedly said: "No, all the money is parted." ”
"Nope." After Liu Banyue, "This money is only obtained because of your relationship, and half of it will be given to you naturally." And you are married to the son of a rich and noble family, and if the dowry is less, people will look down on you. ”
"Isn't there a purple glass cup? With that cup, who still looks down on me? "Ping'an said.
"The more the dowry, the better."
"Or, I want two thousand taels of silver for a dowry, and the remaining six thousand taels for everyone?"
"Two thousand taels is too little." Liu Banyue Road.
"Not a lot." Ping'an said, "The county magistrate doesn't have a dowry of two thousand taels for his daughter." ”
Ping An argued with Liu Banyue for a long time, and finally got Liu Banyue to agree with her. This is also the reason why Liu Banyue has a deep relationship with the people in the troupe and hopes that they will live a good life.
