Chapter 83: Paying the Money Back
After Wang Xibao finished talking to Wang Xu, he looked at Jinzhu again. Jinzhu. Bring me the two rolling pins I bought. Let him make a good comparison. See what the difference is between the two."
"Yes." The brocade beads should be finished. Walked over from the table next to me. And put the two rolling pins together in front of Wang Xu.
"Young master, please take a look."
Wang Xu picked up the two rolling pins one by one. Look left and right. Want to discover the difference. But he never found it. So he frowned and looked at Wang Jibao suspiciously. Hopefully she'll be able to tell him the difference.
Wang Jibao also picked up the two rolling pins and compared them. Then he put it down and said, "What about these two rolling pins. Actually, it's really not that different."
"Isn't it really any different?" Wang Xu continued to ask unwillingly.
Wang Jibao nodded and said, "Yes. Both are exactly the same. That is, the one that they sold you for a tael of silver. In other people's homes, it is actually only sold for three cents. That means you lose at least ninety-six dollars on a rolling pin."
Wang Jibao said the words. The blow to Wang Xu is really big. But on second thought. He's just as bad as his little aunt. Thereupon. looked at Wang Jibao and said angrily: "Then I'm not bad for these little money."
"Stupid." Wang Jibao flexed her fingers. Knock on Wang Xu's head." It's not a matter of a few small bucks. It's a question of whether it's worth it or not."
"It hurts, it hurts."
Wang Jibao said with some hatred: "Do you still know that it hurts? But you just spent so much extra money. Why don't you know how to feel distressed?"
"People aren't in a good mood either. It's just that we're really not short of one or two pieces of silver." Wang Xu lowered his head and said aggrievedly.
"Your little aunt, I earned the money in my hand. And your money is earned by yourself? What qualifications do you have to say that you are not bad for money?" Wang Jibao said. While stretching out a finger and tapping Wang Xu's forehead.
Wang Xu hid. While saying confidently, "My silver is also my own moon silver."
Wang Xibao glanced at Wang Xu. Did you earn your monthly silver yourself?"
Wang Xu thought about it. Honestly, "No."
"That's it. Don't know how to make money. Not even thrifty. How will I support myself in the future?" Wang Jibao continued to say earnestly: "Didn't you listen to the young man who sold goods just now. One or two taels of silver is enough for a family to eat for a year or two.
This is probably a small amount of money to us. But not for ordinary people.
As the saying goes, 'Flowers are not good for a hundred days. There is also a saying that 'people have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries.' It's hard to say what the future holds. So even when we have money. Nor can it be indiscriminately studied.
Just now I spent fifteen pennies on a basket. It's because I don't think the price of that basket is expensive. Even if I don't haggle the price. It doesn't cost a few more bucks. I can still get that face.
But if she sells me a basket for a tael or two. That's taking me for the wrong.
That's not a shameful thing. Instead, they looked at me like a fool.
So if the man were to pay me a couple of silver. I must cut this price.
Some people may think that it is going to be said. I didn't bargain or was it right. Or a waste.
But it seems to me . Something. It is not right or wrong. It's just about whether it's worth it or not.
I just think it's worth it to sell fifteen dollars in one basket. That's why I didn't haggle.
That you think. You spent so much extra money on a rolling pin. Is it worth it?"
Wang Xu shook his head without thinking about it and said, "It's really not worth it."
Wang Jibao looked at Wang Xu who was drooping his head. Continue to say bitterly: "You already know how to go shopping today. That's a step forward. But today you are buying something cheap. So even if you are deceived, you won't lose much. But in the future, if you want to buy expensive items. That fooled once. It's not a little money."
Wang Xu thought about it. He replied earnestly, "When I buy something again in the future. I will definitely listen more, see more, and ask more. Definitely not going to be so blind again."
Wang Jibao touched Wang Xu's head and said, "En. It's nice that you can think so." After saying this. I looked at Lin Xi again. I saw that he looked like he was listening carefully. He smiled silently.
Wang Jibao turned back again. looked at Wang Xu, who was in a depressed mood. Then he said to him, "There are things that can be reversed when you do something wrong. But there are some things that are done wrong and cannot be undone. Walk. My little aunt will lead you to the man to seek justice."
"No. Not good. How can you get back the money you've already paid?" Wang Xu said with some embarrassment.
Wang Jibao said with a smile; "Something. Didn't do how to know how it turned out. If you do it. Maybe there's a half-chance of success. But. If you don't do it. Then there is no hope left."
Wang Xu opened his mouth wide and looked at Wang Jibao. Impressed. That seems to make sense.
Wang Jibao didn't say much more. led Wang Xu to the young man's stall selling goods.
I haven't waited for the opening. The young man took the initiative to pull out ninety-six copper plates. And said to Wang Xu with a smile: "This little brother. I'm sorry just now. Overcharged you so much copper. In fact. A rolling pin costs only three pennies. That's just too much for your money."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and handed Wang Xu the extra copper plate.
"Really. This is the money you want to pay me back." Wang Xu didn't believe his ears.
The young man looked at Wang Jibao and saw that Wang Jibao was smiling like a flower. There was a moment of distraction.
Lin Xi stepped forward unhappily. Blocked Wang Jibao.
The young man smiled wryly. Then he nodded seriously at Wang Xu. "That's right. It's the money that was paid back to you."
Wang Xule glanced at Wang Jibao. Seeing Wang Jibao nodded. I was going to reach out and take the money. I thought again that my little hands were too small. Simply open the strap in the purse directly. Let the lad pour the money straight in.
Seeing that Wang Xu didn't count after collecting the money. Just tie the purse bag directly. Wang Jibao reached out and touched his head. Asked, "How. Don't count the number of copper plates he gave you, right?"
Wang Xu smirked and said, "Even if it's less. I'm happy too."
Wang Jibao also smiled.
Oh, yes. People are losing money when they are losing. As long as you can recover a little bit of it. will be overjoyed.
She took out of her purse a silver ingot of ten taels and brought it out. Hand it to the lad.
"This one is for you. You take it."
"This. I can't ask for this." The young man said. While wiping the sweat from the palms of his hands on both sides of his clothes.
To know. Ten taels of silver was definitely not a small amount in this dynasty. It is equivalent to the expenses of an average family of three for several years.
With this silver. The young man could have bought a cow to use for farming. Such. The whole family will save a lot of trouble when they plough the land in the spring. With cows. You can also pull goods here to sell things. You can save a lot of money.
Wang Jibao did not take back the money. Instead, it was placed in the boy's booth.
Then he said, "That kind of money just now is ill-gotten gains. It must not be collected indiscriminately. Otherwise, getting it is not necessarily a blessing. Not sure or woe. But these ten taels of silver are the reward you deserve. You just helped me give my nephew a deep experience. Just when we pay the tuition. Hopefully you will be like this in the future. Be able to keep your heart."
Being preached by a small child. The young man who sold the goods didn't find it strange.
As if it were a matter of course.
He looked at the people who had gone away. He took the money very preciously.
This experience was very impressive for several people. At least after a few years. There are also people who will turn it over and think about it when they are not fine.
Wang Jibao and the others had no interest in buying anything again. So he went to Zhuangzi to meet with Jiang. Returned to the Hou Mansion before dark.
Originally, the Hou Mansion had already prepared dinner. But. Wang Jibao still made dumplings with Lin Xi and Wang Xu in the small kitchen of Baozhu Courtyard. Rolled out the noodles.
Although most of them are still cooked by cooks and maids. But the joy of this hands-on experience. It is more worthy of people's careful experience.
Early the next morning. Said that he was not in a hurry, and the half-immortal Lu Yuan came to visit the Heshun Hou Mansion.
Jiang had already told Wang Ziyi the night before that Sai Banxian was going to accept Wang Jibao as an apprentice. Wang Ziyi carefully sorted out the person Jiang said. I have a general idea of who this person is.
Therefore, as soon as I heard that Sai Banxian came to the Hou Mansion. So he went to the side door and welcomed him in.
As soon as Lu Yuan saw Wang Ziyi, he gave a nondescript salute. Said: "Brother Wang. Little brother Lu Yuan. Take the liberty to bother. I also hope for Haihan."
Wang Ziyi hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Brother Lu is polite."
"Brother Wang. The younger brother came here today mainly to collect the treasure lord as an apprentice. I don't know if my sister-in-law has mentioned it to you."
Wang Ziyi nodded and said, "After coming back yesterday. Your sister-in-law mentioned it to her brother. If there is anything, the virtuous brother will talk about it after he and his brother enter the mansion."
Lu Yuan said politely: "Then disturb Brother Wang."
"Don't bother. I can't ask for it." Wang Ziyi finished speaking. stepped forward and pulled Lu Yuan's right arm familiarly. Compare the action of a please. So he went to his study.
Along. The two talked and laughed. So not enthusiastic.
Waited until Wang Ziyi's study. The two have been like old friends who have known each other for many years. The conversation was very speculative.
"Brother Wang. I think you know that. I'm here to take your little daughter as an apprentice." Talked about it for a long time. Lu Yuan turned the conversation to the matter of accepting apprentices again.
"This brother already knows. It's my little female stubbornness. I'm afraid I've missed the great talent of the virtuous brother." Wang Ziyi replied very humbly.
Heart: How many people are not worthy of their names. How can you want to take my daughter as an apprentice with a few words from you? And this person is afraid that Xiang Zhuang is dancing the sword. The purpose is not exactly their own daughter. It's more important to be on his son-in-law and apprentice.
