"Girl, two thousand is already a very good price. In addition, if you also die for this set of dishes, I can bid twenty taels. What do you think? ”

The second master didn't say the price to death, and there was still room for five hundred taels of bargaining. Unexpectedly, the little girl had no intention of bargaining, so she nodded and agreed.

"Two thousand taels is enough, and the dishes are not considered money, so they should be given to you."

Ye Yu hesitated after speaking, but finally opened his mouth.

"Second Master Nian, I heard that you have made a lot of friends in our county. Can you please do me a favor and directly take a thousand taels of silver to help me find a reliable big ship to go to sea to find someone? ”

The idea of asking Second Master Nian to help find someone just came out of Ye Yu's heart. She also dared to ask because the second master looked good at talking this year.

Finding Daddy and Big Brother is what she and Auntie both dream of accomplishing, and when she heard that the glass cup could be sold for so much money, her first thought was to take the money and hire someone to go to sea to find it.

The first thing that came to her mind was the fishermen's boats in the village, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was not good. Because those fishing boats were operating near Whitewater Bay, they didn't dare to go far.

Daddy and Big Brother must not be around, otherwise so many fishermen go out every day, and there will always be a boat to find them.

So I still have to find a big ship to look for it farther away.

There are a lot of big boats on the dock, but Ye Yu knows ordinary small fishermen like her, who knows which big boats are reliable. The second master is different, he is the brother-in-law of the county lord, and he asked him to come forward to do things, and the people outside did not dare to fool him.

Ye Yu knew that she was a little fisherwoman, and too many people would not take her seriously. If she didn't have a background or anything, she was really afraid that those captains would only wander around the sea a few times after receiving the money.

"Second Master Nian, can you help me?"

"What's so difficult about this, you tell me in detail, I'll find someone for you."

Probably because of the relationship between the pair of glass cups on the table, the second master seemed to be in a very good mood, and he spoke with a hint of joy.

Ye Yu hurriedly told his father and eldest brother about the disappearance of the boat, and then talked about the distress wood that he had picked up in the sea before.

The more the second child listened, the more serious he became, and when he heard that the father and son were illiterate but could think of a way to ask for help, he was also very impressed, so he agreed.

"It's easy to find a ship for 1,000 taels of silver, and it's about 200 taels a month to charter a larger ship, so you can find about five taels of silver for 1,000 taels of silver. However, I suggest that you spend this thousand taels and find a few more ships in different directions. After all, your father is waiting for rescue, and the situation will only get worse if it drags on for a long time. ”

Ye Yu nodded approvingly, and agreed without much hesitation.

"The second master is thoughtful, thank you for your trouble!"

The little girl responded so quickly, which surprised the two of them. After all, it's not one or two taels, it's a whole thousand taels of silver. Ordinary people can't earn money in their lifetime, and she spends it so simply just once.

The second elder definitely looked at Ye Yu several times, and appreciated this little girl a little more.

"Don't worry, I promise to find you a few good ships for this thousand taels of silver, and I will definitely look for your father and brother seriously. Come, Lao Lu, you write this into the contract and show it to the girl. ”

After speaking, he suddenly paused again, turned around and asked, "Girl, are you literate?" ”

"I haven't studied ......"

Ye Yu didn't know why, he couldn't lie to the eyes of the second master. When she came, she originally wanted to fool the past like she did when she was Jinzhu yesterday, but now she told the truth.

"It's okay if you haven't learned, after a while, Lao Lu will write it out, you can take it to the street and find a random reader to see, or take it home to find someone you know to see, if it's right, come back and press your handprint."

was so considerate, Ye Yu was a little suspicious that he had entered the wrong store for a while. Doesn't it mean that pawnshops eat people without spitting out bones, and often slaughter people? Why is the second master so generous and considerate this year?

When it comes to the purchase and sale of a full two thousand taels of silver, Ye Yu does not dare to be sloppy. What if she doesn't dare to be sloppy, how can she go out with the contract to show others, it's too late to keep it secret.

"No need, I've inquired about the second master's personality, and he is not the kind of villain who is treacherous."

A thousand taels of silver have been handed over to the people, and this trust is not bad. If she is really cheated, she won't feel very distressed, anyway, there are as many as this glass cup Sister Sang's side. If it doesn't work, change the county seat and continue to sell.

Today's pawn reminded her of a very important thing.

She's going to have to learn how to read.

Otherwise, when you come out to do something, your eyes will always be dark. If you just look at the signboard when you buy something, you don't know what store it is. The contract is also incomprehensible, which is really inconvenient.

After these days, the things she heard since she was a child that women are not talented and virtuous, and that men can go to school, are nothing in her heart.

Sister Sang said that people have to go to school. Only by studying can we understand reason and see the wider world.

She likes and deeply envies the girls in that free and bright world, where she may not be able to succeed in her studies like Sister Sang, but at least she strives not to be blind.

When I go back in a while, I will go to the bookstore to see what I need to learn when I get started!

While Ye Yu was pondering, Shopkeeper Lu had already written the contract. In triplicate, one copy for the second elder and one for Ye Yu, and one copy was stored in the yamen together when paying taxes.

Both of them quickly pressed their own handprints and collected the contract. The second child wiped his fingers very happily, and saw that the glass cup was shining.

"Old Lu, hurry up and bring the little girl's 1,000 taels of silver tickets."

"Here, girl, you can take it."

Shopkeeper Lu handed Ye Yu a fluttering ticket.

There are so many words on it, Ye Yu can barely recognize one one, and the others really don't know it.

Look, if you can't read, you can't even tell how much money you have.

Ye Yu confiscated the ticket, and after thinking about it, he asked the shopkeeper Lu to exchange it for a ticket of five hundred taels. Then he took the empty basket and left.

As soon as she left, the pawnshop was clean again. The guys had nothing to do and started chatting again.

Xiao Yu just received his salary at the moment and hasn't left yet, after all, the food in the pawnshop is very good. Under the pretext that the things are not cleaned up, you can rub them before leaving.

He didn't say anything about his dismissal from the shopkeeper, and the guys took him as their own. A guy who went upstairs to deliver water took advantage of the shopkeeper's escort to leave, and came to the pile of men and muttered quietly.

"Oh my God, do you know, that girl's thing is actually more than a thousand taels! I watched the shopkeeper's money from the bookkeeper's account! ”

"What?! More than a thousand taels?? Mother, just a slightly prettier cup?? ”

"I really don't understand what that thing is worth......

Everyone muttered a few words, and when they saw the shopkeeper come back, they went out by themselves and went about their own work. Only Xiao Yu on the side listened thoughtfully, and left the pawnshop without even having time to pack his luggage.

His mental calculations crackled. Compared to the more than a thousand taels of silver, a lunch is nothing.
