The Cultivation of Concubine

Chapter 54 The Handle (2)
Ajiao told Xingyao about this matter, and Xingyao said after hearing this: "Why don't you go and beg Shi Ziye."

Grandpa?

Ajiao frowned, but still felt that something was wrong: "No way. The Elder Master treats me well, how can I bother him with this kind of thing?" And she will never be able to pay back the 100 taels of silver for the rest of her life?With this debt, she will never be able to leave the Yasukuni Mansion.

but--

She couldn't just watch her father ignore him.

Ajiao thought about it and was worrying, but she heard Xingyao say: "I can only make up ten taels at most, and I will borrow some for you."

Ajiao knew that Xingyao spent a lot of money, and she urged her to save the ten taels of silver for three years. How could she have the nerve to ask her to borrow it?A Jiao bent her lips and said to Xing Yao: "I'll think of a way first. If there is really no other way, I'll ask you to borrow it."

Xingyao has always regarded Ajiao as her best sister, and the two of them in the mansion have always depended on each other for life. Seeing her like this now, she said, "Why are you being polite to me? Do you have anyone in this mansion who can borrow money?" ? It’s just——Ajiao, you also know that we can’t get so much money at all, why don’t you ask Shi Ziye?”

Ajiao lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Asking her to ask Shizi for money, she really couldn't open her mouth, so she said: "Stop talking, I'll think of a way." After speaking, she went back to Jitangxuan.

Ajiao went back to the servant's room, sat in front of the window and thought hard, but couldn't think of any solution.

In such a hurry, where can she go to collect 100 taels of silver?Suddenly thought of something, Ajiao hurriedly took out the small box wrapped in blue cloth from the bed.When it was opened, there were four pieces of jewelry neatly placed inside: the gold silk fragrant wood hairpin inlaid with cicadas and jade beads, the suet-colored jasmine hairpin, the coral bracelet, and the gold necklace inlaid with beads, each of which was brand new.

She took out the suet jade hairpin, looked at it carefully for a moment, and finally sighed.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't think of a way, she wouldn't have the guts to think about these jewelry.

As of now, that's all there is to it.

Ajiao went to the pawn shop the next day and pawned the four pieces of jewelry.

The jewelry, which was originally worth 200 taels of silver, was pawned for 80 taels at the pawnshop.The pawnshop pawns are divided into live pawns and dead pawns. The man at the pawnshop told her that if the pawns were dead pawns, there would be an extra 20 taels of silver.

In fact, Ajiao also knew that it would be impossible for her to redeem these jewelry in the future. Instead of doing this, she might as well choose to die, and there will be an extra 20 taels of silver.

But in the end she chose to live.

As for the 20 taels that are still short, she still has 100 taels at her own place, and with the rewards from the Shizi these days, the [-] taels can be regarded as enough.

Xingyao didn't expect Ajiao to have the ability to collect 100 taels of silver in one day, and she was quite surprised: "Did you borrow it from the son?"

Ajiao shook his head.

She didn't know whether she should tell Xingyao about this matter, but after thinking about it, she still told Xingyao the truth.After hearing this, Xingyao was shocked, her expression was shocked but she said enviously: "My son spends so much money like water, he is really a prodigal son."

Isn't it?
