On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 61 Getting rich suddenly
  Shopkeeper Chen felt a pull on the wealthy businessmen in Chun'an County. It seemed that the man who started his business selling wine in the east of the city had the surname Jia?

I seem to have heard that the owner of the coffin is also named Jia?
  He would never have imagined that this was what Xiao Xiao had thought about before. The surname Jia meant it was fake and was very close to their identities.

She doesn't lie.

Xiao Xiao had heard from his father that when he entered the pawn shop, the price was cut in half at least, so he deliberately persuaded him with a grimace: "Sir, I heard that this golden crown cost at least four to five hundred taels when I bought it?"

Mr. Xiao is now Mr. Jia who is not short of money. He immediately took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it on the counter: "Add this!"

Shopkeeper Chen carefully looked at the quality of the jade pendant.

A gentleman has no reason, and the jade never leaves his body.

Even if you are not a gentleman, you can self-hypnotize yourself into a gentleman by wearing a jade pendant.

The round suet-fat jade pendant is about half the size of a palm. It is moist all over and has peace of mind on one side and good luck on the other.

Not only does it have a good meaning, but the engraved characters are also very elegant.

The shopkeeper was happy, but his expression was ordinary: "There is a bump on the edge of the jade pendant, it's only two hundred taels at most!"

Xiao Lian frowned and said, "I'm too lazy to bargain with you. I'll give you at least five hundred taels. If it doesn't work, I'll find another one!"

The shopkeeper looked hesitant and smiled bitterly: "Sir, you are going to say that you were robbed, so I can't take action here. You have to pay me some hard work, right? Four hundred and eighty taels, okay?"

In fact he is willing.

Because these two things are easy to sell, he can make a lot of money.

But no one would mind having too much money.

Xiao Lian glanced at her father quietly, and when she saw his hands clenched into fists, she said impatiently: "Okay, give me the money quickly."

The shopkeeper took out a piece of paper and filled in the weight of the gold crown, the shape of the jade pendant and the words on it, and asked Xiao Lian to sign and seal it.

Xiao Lian was very glad that she had learned to write, but her handwriting was a bit ugly.

When the shopkeeper saw the ugly word "Jia An" written by him, he immediately thought: This is still an ignorant young man.

Then he asked with a smile: "Do you want banknotes or silver?"

Xiao Lian said: "Four one hundred taels of silver notes, another five taels of silver and ten silver ingots, and give me thirty taels of broken silver."

She never dreamed that they could have so much money. She was afraid that she would lose her composure, so she clenched her fists tightly and her whole body became tense.

After hearing this, Boss Xiao asked to change all the one hundred taels of silver notes into twenty taels and fifty taels of silver notes, saying that it was more convenient to use small amounts of silver notes in the casino.

The main reason is that it is inconvenient to use large-value banknotes. If you go to a bank to exchange them, there is still a handling fee of 20 taels.

After getting the money, the Xiao family went out one after another.

Now that they have a huge sum of money, they are worried that there will be others following them, so they go to the teahouse first as originally agreed.

At this point, the storyteller in the teahouse was busy talking, and there were also people below who were listening carefully to the book, while others were chatting.

However, they only bought a few pastries and left through the back door.

The waiter thought that Mo Min was weird. Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy pastries in a pastry shop?
  Boss Xiao took his daughters for a while and walked around twists and turns, and then returned to the small courtyard after making sure no one was following them.

Only their own family members knew what they were doing out there.

Both Liu and Xiao Xiu asked nervously: "Did it go well?"

"Don't worry, I'm here?" Even Boss Xiao was worried before. Of course, he had to pretend to be calm and composed in front of his wife and daughter, and tell what happened in a conspicuous way. Immediately, he reluctantly took out the purse that was close to his chest and put it on the table: "You can see how it goes."

Thinking of what he had said earlier that his daughters had brought this thing back and asked them to keep it as dowry in exchange for money, he wanted to go back to the past and kill the liar.

He didn't expect to get so much money in exchange.

Xiao Xiu pushed the purse in front of Xiao Xiao: "I didn't contribute, it was all taken by my sister."

Xiao Lian also reluctantly refused: "Yes, it's all my little sister's cleverness."

She swore in her heart that if she had another chance in the future, she would definitely learn from her sister.

The other silver and broken silver were all brought back by Xiao Xiao. Now that she saw so much silver, she felt very satisfied with her sudden wealth.

She counted a hundred taels to each of her parents: "This is a daughter's way of honoring her parents."

Then he counted fifty taels of silver notes to each of the two sisters: "I have money in my pocket, so I don't feel panic. Sister, please don't be polite to me."

She kept the remaining one hundred taels by herself: "Find some oilcloth to wrap it up later, and then sew it into the middle of the clothes."

He also gave fifty taels of silver ingots to his father: "I'm afraid my grandparents don't have much silver in their hands, so keep these for the road."

The other thirty taels of broken silver were still divided equally among the five members of the family: "It is convenient to buy things with broken silver."

After all, ordinary farmers spend a lot of money on silver beans, and usually use copper plates.

When Mr. Xiao saw his youngest daughter being so polite, he couldn't help but praise: "Our mistress is really filial."

Although Mrs. Liu was worried about her daughters taking so much money, she felt that it would be better to leave it to them than to have it all taken away by Mr. Xiao.

Therefore, he also smiled and echoed: "Xiu'er and Lian'er are also good children. You are sisters, and you must support each other in the future."

Boss Xiao simply handed all the banknotes to Liu: "Be careful and keep these. When we get to the place, we will rely on this money to settle down and buy a house."

Mrs. Liu looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he would give all the banknotes to her, so she agreed softly.

Boss Xiao took two ingots and fifty taels of silver and stood up: "You guys put the money away and I'll send some money to my parents."

When he passed by, Old Man Xiao was weaving baskets with vines, Madam Xiao and Mrs. Wu were mending clothes beside them, and Mr. Xiao was sharpening a knife with a whetstone.

"Boss, yours is just right." Mr. Xiao saw him and said: "I was thinking that now I can eat rice and noodles for ten days and a half, and the remaining twenty taels of silver, we are tight on hand, and there is no need for money on the road. That’s enough.”

"Why don't you wait until you get to where you want to settle and then sell the mule?"

"This will make our journey easier."

For the elderly, the less money they have, the more reluctant they are to spend it.

They were really afraid that the boss came here to sell the mules.

"I have no objection." Boss Xiao gave ten taels of silver to his mother and said slyly: "We only have more than twenty taels of silver. These mothers will keep it and buy some meat and eggs so that we can have a good meal at night. "

Anyway, they didn't know when the third son brought something back, so he wasn't going to tell them, lest his parents would want to supplement the second son's family.

Mrs. Xiao didn't expect her boss to be so filial, so she couldn't believe it: "Then I really took it?"

Mrs. Wu couldn't help but couldn't help herself, and couldn't wait to reach out her hand: "Mom, my sister-in-law likes to eat dumplings, I'll buy the meat!"

Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear to give her the whole ingot of silver. She dug around and took out a tael of silver beans from her purse: "Buy three kilograms of pork belly and the rest for eggs."
