A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 30 30. Money Exchange
"Little girl, the price of the hairpin is one tael or eight. How about I give each of you a pair of silver earrings as an extra?" The shopkeeper of the silver shop, who had been listening by the side, came over at this moment.

The silver earrings in the store are very beautiful, and a pair costs more than ten yuan. Yang Yulan has helped her family a lot, so I just gave it to her as a thank you gift.

Hearing this, Xin Changning willingly agreed, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Liu didn't have any earrings, so she smiled and said, "Uncle, the silver earrings are not worth much, so please do me a favor, and give me another pair!"

"Young lady, you really know how to bargain." The shopkeeper smiled and nodded slightly: "Deal."

Soon Xiaoer took the hairpin in and came out with the money.

One liang of silver can be exchanged for [-] copper coins, and it is very inconvenient to carry such a large string in the hand.After thinking for a while, Xin Changning took eight Baiwen copper coins, and asked Xiao Er to exchange the rest for one tael of silver, carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his arms.

As for the silver earrings, the shopkeeper pointed out a price for her to choose, so Xin Changning randomly picked out a pair of silk lantern tassels, which looked beautiful and generous, and gave them to Yang Yulan.

"Auntie, I'll give it to you."

"How did this happen?" Yang Yulan was surprised, and hastily declined.

"There's nothing wrong with it. My aunt has helped my family so much. I really don't have anything to repay. Besides, my mother and I have three sets of earrings. No one wears the extra pair of earrings. It's just for my aunt! "

Xin Changning hugged Yang Yulan's arm and started acting coquettishly: "Auntie just accept it, it's not bought with money anyway, if you refuse, I won't ride in your ox cart when I go back."

"You girl, you are really getting smarter." Yang Yulan had no choice but to happily accept the earrings.

For the remaining two pairs, Xin Changning chose a plain-faced beaded pair for Liu Shi. It is low-key and simple, which is suitable for Liu Shi's status as a widow, and it won't hurt people's eyes when worn.

She picked a pair of magnolia flowers for herself, fresh and budding magnolia flowers, which were just right for her age.

It's just that the price of magnolia flowers is a bit expensive, and Xin Changning was afraid that the shopkeeper would not give it away, but unexpectedly the shopkeeper took a look at her and said, "The little girl is very good at picking!" He gave her away readily.

"Thank you shopkeeper, I wish you a prosperous business!" Xin Changning took the earrings and pulled Yang Yulan out of the silver shop happily.

The shopkeeper watched the two of them leave all the way, until they were far away, he couldn't help admiring: "I don't know whose girl it is, she is so pretty at such a young age, if two years later, she won't be so handsome." Know what it will look like."

"Not only is she handsome, but she's also smart, knowledgeable, and generous. She doesn't look like a timid country girl, but her clothes are so shabby!"

Xiao Er scratched his head in doubt: "It's very strange, I don't know where it is from, and I haven't seen it before?"

"Where she is from, she's still young!" The shopkeeper smiled and said nothing.

Yang Yulan never thought that a hairpin could be exchanged for so much money, and when she left the silver shop, she couldn't help asking: "Changning, how do you know about the craftsmanship? We only know how to look good when we look at jewelry. Not pretty."

"I don't understand, I only know a thing or two when I overheard Cheng Huniang bragging with others before."

With money in hand, Xin Changning was in a great mood, so he came up with a reason at will.

"That's right, Mrs. Cheng likes to show off the most. She must have heard Xiao Er introduce her when she bought the hairpin."

Yang Yulan immediately believed it, and said happily, "I never thought I could exchange so much money, Changning, we have money now, let's go shopping!"

"Hush, auntie, keep a low profile and don't reveal your money.

Xin Changning hurriedly reminded Yang Yulan, but unexpectedly, Xiao Qian, who was sitting leisurely in a green cloth carriage passing by in front of him, turned dark all of a sudden.

"Exchanging money? She dared to exchange the jade that the young master gave, Xiao Yi, you can check for me, how much did you exchange?"
