Chapter 90 She Was Wronged

Perhaps because they had been placed in the space for many years, those gems were clear and shiny, and looked even more radiant in Chen Afu's white and tender palms.

Shopkeeper Bai laughed when he saw it, took the gem and looked at it carefully at the window, and said, "It's acceptable. How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Chen Afu said with a smile, "I have inquired before, and they all said that Shopkeeper Bai has an excellent reputation. I value the business of one tael of silver as much as the business of one thousand taels of silver, so I, a poor man, came to this bank because of Shopkeeper Bai." , I haven’t been to any other silver buildings.”

Shopkeeper Bai laughed loudly and said, "Young lady is really good at talking. You speak so well of me, I can't lower the price for you." Then he turned to the window to look at the gems and said, "These three rubies The texture is average and not big. The most valuable thing is that it has a good luster. If it is broken, it is worth ninety taels of silver. This emerald is nice, shiny, and has good transparency. Well...it costs only three hundred taels of silver. ,how?"

This was much higher than Chen Afu's price. Shopkeeper Bai was indeed a good and honest old man and did not lower his price. I have to tell Jin Yanzi in the future to stop thinking about this store no matter how itchy his mouth is.

But she had to raise the price again to make it look like a business deal, and he couldn't say how much it was. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Bai, although I don't know much about this business, I also know that emeralds are fragile and not easy to cut and polish. This emerald has already been formed and can be set directly on jewelry. Isn't it high?" point?"

Shopkeeper Bai said, "The price I gave you is not low. If you do this, it can't be higher than twenty taels more."

A total of four hundred and ten taels, which is pretty good. Chen Afu smiled with crooked eyebrows and said, "Deal."

Shopkeeper Bai took two two hundred taels of silver notes and a silver ingot to Chen Afu.

After leaving the hut, shopkeeper Bai smiled and said, "Don't you want to buy some jewelry, little lady? The jewelry in our silver shop is quite good and the price is reasonable."

Chen Afu touched the ten taels of silver, then came to the counter and asked to buy some cheap silver hairpins. The waiter brought up a small tray, and Chen Afu picked four carved silver hairpins, one for himself, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Chen. He also bought a pair of silver lilacs for himself and Mrs. Wang, for a total of Eleven taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Bai gave a discount and only took ten taels.

The mother and son thanked each other and left the silver building.

Chen Afu looked around. This is the most prosperous street in Dingzhou Prefecture. Six carriages can pass side by side on the bluestone road. The shops on both sides are several-story buildings, and they are also extremely gorgeously decorated.

Diagonally across the street is the colorful embroidery workshop that Chen Aman had mentioned.

The three-story embroidery shop has black tiles, blue walls, vermilion carved doors and windows, and a few strings of beautiful lanterns and colorful flowers hung around it. The huge plaque can be seen clearly even from such a distance.

She thought about going there tomorrow to pick up those dolls.

Just as she was about to turn her face, she saw Mr. Chen, whom she had just met, leading the women out of the embroidery workshop. Three carriages passed by. He helped the old woman get on the carriage, and the women also got on in turn. Got the car.

Even after only meeting him for a short time, Chen Afu could tell that the man was not only good-looking, but also had a good temper, a gentle attitude, and a pleasant look on his face towards his mother, wife, and daughter.

That's an illusion, right? He became ruthless towards the woman who brought him up and had a physical relationship with her, and her heart was harder than a stone. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang didn't come, otherwise she would have been very sad.

Chen Afu watched the carriages disappear into the heavy traffic.

Chen Dabao tugged at Chen Afu's lapel again and shouted, "Mom, give me a hug, give me a hug." He had been worried about the banknotes in his mother's arms, but her mother didn't seem to care at all, which made him very anxious.

Chen Afu picked him up and whispered into Chen Afu's ear, "Mom, let's quickly find a donkey cart and go back to Grandpa San's house. Mom has so much money, don't let it be stolen."

Chen Afu teased him, "Don't want to go to the restaurant?" When they came, Chen Dabao specifically said that he wanted to go to the restaurant to eat.

Chen Dabao swallowed, shook his head and said, "I won't eat today. Let's eat some other time."

Seeing those people, Chen Afu lost the desire to continue shopping and nodded. She took Dabao to a snack shop not far away and bought two cages of steamed buns. She took out two mother and son, one each, and hired a mule cart.

Back at Chen Shi's house, it was just around noon and they were having lunch.

The invitees also came to the Chen family, two boys aged thirteen or fourteen. They were sitting and eating with a big bowl in their arms.

Chen Afu took the buns out of the oil paper bag and ate together.

After the meal, Chen Afu took out a hairpin and gave it to Zhang. He said, "I went to West Street to look around and bought it at Yuqilin Silver Building. Third Aunt, don't dislike it."

Mrs. Zhang was shocked, "Oh my god, you gave my family the secret recipe for braised skewers, and we haven't thanked you yet. Why do you have the nerve to accept such an expensive hairpin again?"

Chen Shi also helped to reject it, saying, "Keep it for my sister-in-law to wear."

When Mrs. Wang saw her daughter going to the Silver House, she guessed that she had sold the gems. He smiled at Mrs. Zhang and said, "Just keep what Ah Fu gave you. Mine will definitely be indispensable."

After pushing for a long time, Mrs. Zhang happily accepted the silver hairpin.

Chen Afu said he was tired and did not help. He went back to the house to rest with Dabao and Alu.

She couldn't sleep when she heard the snoring of the two little guys, and the face that looked exactly like her appeared in front of her eyes from time to time.

The older girl looked like she was not much younger than herself, which meant that Wang got married not long after the Chen family kicked her out.

Think about the noble lady with pearls and jade on her head, who looked very imposing, and the two delicate girls wrapped in silk. Think about Wang who married into the Chen family with a burden, working hard day and night to support the sickly Chen Ming, and the silly Ah Fu who had been bullied to death. Chen Ah Fu was always upset...

Hearing the laughter of Wang and Zhang in the yard, Chen Ming and Zhang were cheerful and much louder. Although Wang also laughed and talked, she was much more polite.

Thinking of Wang, Chen Ah Fu's eyes were a little hot. She was sold to the Chen family as a child bride by her stepmother at the age of ten. She raised the ignorant five-year-old boy to a fifteen-year-old young man in his prime, and even had a child. They should have a certain emotional foundation, right?

Definitely! Otherwise, she would not love his own flesh and blood so much, and that love even exceeded that of her son.

I don't know if it is mother-son love, sister-brother love, or love between men and women. The most likely possibility is the hazy flame of love, right?

She was able to get pregnant, so she and the son-in-law must have had mutual love, right?

However, the son-in-law turned against her as soon as he passed the imperial examination, and she was driven back to her parents' home, and was sold by her stepmother for the second time while pregnant.

The weak Wang was smart and tenacious. She had no time to feel sad and painful, and was married to another Chen family. She married so happily, and chose Chen Ming, who was about to die. Perhaps she was ready to be a widow, and also found a legal origin for her unborn child.

It's really... wronged her.
