Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 43, Bargaining

Xiao Qing thought about the preciousness of these things in her hands. It is impossible to sell the jade bi directly, so she can only go to the temple to sing and sell it. The singing and selling can only be taken out after the imperial court provides disaster relief, so she has to wait, when winter comes, the drought worsens At that time, the imperial court will hold disaster relief.

If you don't come to Jinyufang for these golden bumps, no other family in Yaoshan County will dare to accept them!

She took a deep breath, looked at the three gold-plated characters of Jinyufang, and walked in.

As soon as I entered, I saw two half-height lacquered wooden boxes on both sides of the doorway. On the boxes were brocade boxes. The boxes were open. Inside the boxes were gold, silver and jade bracelets wrapped in silk silk cloth. , Gold bracelets for hands and feet, gold bracelets wrapped with dragon and phoenix silk, delicate gold bracelets with pearls, Xiao Qing's eyes straightened when he saw it.

She is a good girl, these are all treasures, all are money!Quite ten of gold.

These styles are not far behind in contemporary times. There are also jade bracelets, silver bracelets, gold-encrusted jade bracelets, etc., one is more beautiful than the other, and the workmanship is staggering. It may not be possible to make such things now. craft come.

Xiao Qing walked further inside, and on the northeast corner of the shop, four six-foot-long strips were placed in a square shape, and the top was filled with exquisite lacquer plates. Inside the lacquer plates were all kinds of golden hairpins, hosta, red, green, and white. Dicui's antique hairpins of all kinds of precious stones, gold hairpins and silver hairpins, gold and silver jade hairpins, step shakers, scarf rings, Huasheng, treasure buns, are dazzling, rich and exquisite, suitable for all kinds of clothing.

In the northwest corner of the shop, there are several shelves, colorful phoenix crowns, treasure tassels, jade belts, pearls, corals, musk beads and various ornaments are hung on the shelves.

The waiter came up with a smile and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you here to buy jewelry, or to sell jewelry?"

Most of the women who can come in and dress like this in their store are here to sell jewelry or heirlooms, wearing brocade clothes and jade belts, and followed by a group of maidservants are the ones who come to buy jewelry. If you want to sell anything, as long as you give it to the shopkeeper, the price will definitely be higher than that in the pawnshop, but if you just want to redeem it, it is impossible.

Xiao Qing smiled crescent moon and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm here to sell jewelry."

The waiter was very proud that he guessed it right, and he asked with a smile: "Can you give me your baby first?"

Xiao Qing took out the linen bag from his pocket, opened it, and showed a golden bump to the waiter.

When the waiter took the round golden lump, his heart skipped a beat, and then he went back to the cabinet with a measuring tool, weighed it carefully, and squinted to observe the roundness and craftsmanship of the golden lump.

After reading a series, the shop waiter exclaimed in a slightly flustered tone: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, the goods are here, come out and have a look."

Under normal circumstances, he can make a decision on the spot for the items brought by the peasant woman, and he will only call the shopkeeper unless he encounters something really good.

After a while, Xiao Qing saw a door open automatically from behind the waiter, Xiao Qing was surprised, did the ancient doors open automatically?High-tech, with automatic induction?

The fat shopkeeper in a golden silk black suit came out. He looked younger, at most forty years old, with a big face and a brain, wearing a crown hat, with a three-point smile on his mouth, but his eyes were not smiling at all, and his eyes were sharp. Liang, when Xiao Qing saw this person, he felt like an old fritters in the mall.

He walked to the side of the shop clerk, put the sand pot in his hand aside, glanced at the things in the shop clerk's second-hand store, and asked in a long voice: "What is it, show me!"

The waiter respectfully handed the item to him. He weighed it first, then rubbed it with his thumb and forefinger. Surprise flashed across his eyes. He quickly squeezed the gold bump in his hand and looked at it carefully before his eyes. , took it to his nose and sniffed it again, the more he smelled it, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he stared at the golden bump in his hand over and over again.

After a long while, I seemed to have an answer in my heart.

"Whose family does this belong to?" the shopkeeper asked.

The shop waiter pointed to Xiao Qing: "The shopkeeper belongs to this sister-in-law, and she still has five gold beads of the same size in her hand."

The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Qing, hehe, people of the same size!During the severe drought, the two of them became so fat. He was the first man, so she was the first woman. Looking at the bun, she seemed to be a woman. She must have a wealthy family, otherwise, how could she have the capital to be so fat!

He walked out of the counter with a smile, came to Xiao Qing and asked, "Hello, sister, can you show me your other gold beads?"

Seeing him smiling strangely at her, Xiao Qing didn't know what to smile, and handed the gold bead tightly in his hand to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper just looked at it but didn't touch it, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, my sister, are there still three of these gold beads at home? Did they get them from a hair crown?"

Yo, when Xiao Qing heard it, she was an expert, and she knew where this thing grew. It's a pity, she didn't have much research on these things, she only knew that this thing was precious.

Xiao Qing smiled and denied: "To be honest, shopkeeper, we don't know where this thing grew, because when it was handed down from our ancestors, there were only a few beads. If it weren't for the severe drought in the past few years, the family didn't eat it. If you don’t drink it, the little woman will not sell her ancestral things.”

The shopkeeper was puzzled and asked again: "Since it is inherited from the ancestors, why don't you go to the pawnshop? You can redeem it someday. Why did you sell it in my small shop?"

Xiao Qing said quite seriously: "Shopkeeper, look at what I'm wearing, it's already the best clothes in my house, even the hairpins are made of wood, I don't think it's inappropriate for the money given by the pawn shop, I just want to sell it After buying this thing, I don’t plan to redeem it, but I want to come to some of your gold and silver shops to see whoever offers the highest price, and I’ll sell it to whoever.”

The shopkeeper raised his head and laughed. For him, he had seen too many money-grubbing ladies: "Yes, yes, what the girl said is very true. Our gold and silver shops do give more money than pawn shops. My girl, I will listen to you." Your accent is from Yaoshan County, where do you live?"

Xiao Qing's eyes dimmed, and his smile dropped sharply. He wanted to find out her family background. It seems that these few gold bumps are really not ordinary things, and they must not be exchanged for silver and copper coins at ordinary gold prices.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to sell gold beads. I'm not here to find your family and ask for your family name. You only look at the price. I wonder if it suits you or not." Xiao Qinghua said passively instead of taking the initiative. .

The shopkeeper was taken aback, but he didn't expect this to be a thoughtful person who didn't give his home address or name.

"Sister, to tell you the truth, your gold beads are pure gold, and the workmanship is exquisite. The gold bumps are round and round into beads. If this kind of craftsmanship was something thousands of years ago, then these few of yours are treasures. If they are hundreds of years old Of course, if it is a gold pearl within a hundred years, it can only be exchanged for silver at an ordinary price." The shopkeeper did not hide it: "However, I look at your thing, it looks like something from a thousand years ago , if you want to sell me the hair crown handed down from your family, I will give you ten times the price of gold."
