Chapter 115 Private Use of Public Funds

Ding Xiang's eyes wandered, thinking about how to improve firearms, how to get grandpa and dad to buy a casting workshop.When eating, I mostly feed her for Mrs. Zhang.

Aunt Qian was happy, she would feed her a few mouthfuls with serving chopsticks, and then pinch her little face.

He added, "I haven't seen my granddaughter yet, it would be great if you Xiangxiang is so lovable."

Thinking that my man and I are stronger than Ding Zhuang, my daughter and son-in-law are stronger than Ding Zhao and his wife, and it is possible that my granddaughter is as beautiful as Ding Xiang.Even if you don't have it, it's good to have half of her.

Qian Dahu at the other table laughed and wanted to say "how is that possible", fearing that his daughter-in-law would be unhappy and swallowed the words again.

Everyone ate in a hurry, and Ding Zhao took his wife and daughter to leave.

Instead of going home right away, they deposited the ox cart and went to Fulai Silver Building, the largest silver building in Linshui County.

Ding Zhao and Ding Xiang want to see what that green stone is and how much it costs.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know what the man meant, and thought she wanted to buy some jewelry for her daughter.

The first floor mainly sells silver jewelry and relatively cheap gold jewelry.

Ding Zhao's family went directly to the second floor.

Ding Zhao said to the shopkeeper, "I want to buy some emerald-studded jewelry."

Although the shopkeeper and Xiaoer felt that the couple did not seem like people who could afford that kind of jewelry, but looking at the little girl's dress and style, they felt that this family belonged to the old and fat turtles with meat in their stomachs. It's obvious that you have money in your bag, so you might be able to afford it.

Then he took out some red gold hairpins, bracelets and earrings inlaid with treasures.

The heart of one of the red golden lotus buds is embedded with that kind of green stone, which is slightly lighter than other emeralds, and more crystal clear and bright.

Green stones are a little bigger than peas.

The shopkeeper saw the eyes of the man and the little girl lit up, and thought, these two people know the goods.Especially this little girl, at such a young age, she can actually see that this is a good thing.

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "This step is inlaid with emeralds, and it is also one of the most expensive jewelry in our silver building. It costs 650 taels of silver."

Ding Zhao knew that this kind of stone was originally called emerald, and jewelry inlaid with this kind of gem was the most expensive.

Ding Xiang guessed it before, but now it is confirmed.

Seeing that there are so many things that people don't want to buy, Ding Xiang has long wanted to buy some good jewelry for Mrs. Zhang.Although the hairpin that Aunt Qian gave her was suitable for Zhang Shi to wear, but she couldn't give Zhang Shi the one given to her by the Qian family, and Zhang Shi would not take it.

After Ding Xiang asked about the price, she pointed to a red gold plum blossom hairpin and said, "I bought it for my mother."

The hairpin is exquisite in workmanship, and three pine flower stones the size of rice grains are inlaid in the center of the flower.Nice looking and not too expensive.

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "This lady has a good eye. This hairpin is exquisitely made, and the price is not high. It costs 69 taels of silver."

Mrs. Zhang was startled, and hurriedly declined, "Mother has jewelry, don't want it."

Just kidding, with such an expensive hairpin, can you become a fairy with it?Besides, where does the husband have so much private money?

Ding Xiang put her arms around Ding Zhao's neck again and said, "Daddy, you are a generous man. I know you brought so much money. My mother is the best woman."

Then he looked at Ding Zhao with bulging eyes, to see how embarrassed he was not to buy it for his wife.

Mrs. Zhang blushed, and Ding Zhao was angry.

Although the family will enter two sums of money, it is not yet.Moreover, the 100 taels of silver notes in his arms were used by his father to buy pig iron and copper ingots for him.

But the daughter wanted him to buy it, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er looked at him eagerly. He had never bought such a good jewelry for his wife before, and thinking of the expensive honey fragrance at home...

He said boldly, "Daughter is using aggressive methods, right? Okay, daddy will buy it."

Mrs. Zhang also knew what the bank note was for, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's too expensive, I don't want to buy it."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This lady is blessed, her father-in-law is generous, and her daughter is filial. In this way, I will make it cheaper, 65 taels of silver."

Ding Zhao took out the banknote very generously.

Mrs. Zhang didn't want to say anything more, she was very happy, and the sweetness overwhelmed her anxiety.

Once out of the silver building, Ding Zhao whispered to Ding Xiang, "Your father is back, you have to help him talk."

Ding Xiang gave him a look that reminds me of you.It's not good to use public funds for private use, but Ding's iron shop is a family business, and the money in the shop is his family's money, so it's okay to embezzle it occasionally.

Several people went to the dental shop again.

Ding Xiang has always wanted to buy a handy woman who specializes in making buttons.

After listening to Mrs. Zhang's conditions, Yaren said, "I don't know which of those people are skillful. You can see for yourself."

Six girls and women in their teens to forties were brought out of the hut.

One of the women in her thirties made Zhang's eyes widen, and Ding Xiang was also startled.

Although several years had passed, there was a long scratch on her face, and she was much more haggard and older, Ding Xiang still recognized her at first sight.

It was Gong the shopkeeper of the former Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop.

Mrs. Zhang was surprised, "Shopkeeper Gong, why are you here?"

Shopkeeper Gong shook his head, and said with red eyes, "It's hard to explain. I'm no longer a shopkeeper, but a slave who doesn't know where I will be sold."

Ding Xiang hurriedly whispered to Ding Zhao, "Daddy, buy her quickly, and don't let others buy her away."

Ding Xiang felt that she was really a proper heroine, and the talent she wanted just appeared in front of her eyes without warning.

This shopkeeper Gong is the best candidate for the general manager, and the contacts in the purchase channel are even more difficult to find than Xiu Niang.

Ding Zhao also knew that his embroidery shop was short of a shopkeeper.

He asked the dentist, "How did she sell it?"

Ya Ren said, "Don't look at Mrs. Gong who is older and disfigured, but she is a capable person. Ten taels of silver is not a lot."

This price is much more expensive than buying a strong man and a big girl.

Ding Zhao asked Gong, "My family is poor, would you like to come to my house?"

You don't need to ask this question to buy a slave, so Ding Zhao asked it anyway.

Shopkeeper Gong didn't know what kind of windfall Zhang's family made, but she knew Zhang's.He thinks that going to Ding's house, even if it is simple food and drink, is better than staying at the former master's house.

She knelt down and said, "Master Ding, you are welcome. I am willing. I will definitely do my duty as a slave and serve my master's family well."

Ding Zhao didn't negotiate the price, but said to the Yaman, "Okay, we'll buy it."

Mrs. Zhang had always respected shopkeeper Gong as a noble person before, and wanted to make a few more money by relying on her appreciation.He suddenly heard that his man wanted to buy her, that she would be his slave in the future, and it was a little unreal, she was speechless with her mouth open.

Especially Gong's kneeling made her even more at a loss.

Ding Xiang reminded, "Mother."

Mrs. Zhang came to her senses, helped Mrs. Gong up and said, "Shopkeeper Gong, oh, no, Ms. Gong, my family is poor."

It's even more unreasonable.

Mrs. Gong shed tears, "The former master's family was rich, but I have ended up like this. I know my wife is kind, and it is my blessing to be in my wife's family."

What a smart, transparent, and time-conscious woman.

Ding Xiang appreciates her even more.
