Allure of a Country Maiden

Mrs. Gu did go out early in the morning, because Mrs. Gu came over early in the morning to say that Gu Hongxia was not well. The doctor said that expensive medicine was needed to save her life.

The Gu family had no money to buy medicine for Gu Hongxia, so she came to Du Mansion early in the morning to find a solution for Gu.

This man was kicked and injured by Du Fu's uncle, so the money for the doctor's medicine would naturally have to be paid by Du Fu!

On the way here, Mrs. Gu tried her best to get money in Du Mansion.

She never expected that Mrs. Gu knew that Gu Hongxia was not well, so she took the jewelry she secretly picked up yesterday and left the house with her mother without saying a word.

Mrs. Gu's thoughts were aroused! It seems that after Du Yijin married the eldest son of Prince An, the Du family became rich again!

In the past, when I came to Du Mansion to ask for money from my daughter, she always said she had no money. She could only get more than ten or twenty yuan each time she came back. This was like sending her off to be a beggar!

Now, the hard days are finally over, and the good days of their family are back!

She decided that when she had money, she would follow Du Yijin's example and buy some wasteland to grow walnuts. Those walnuts were very expensive, and a pair could be sold for dozens of coins to several taels of silver. These were simply golden fruits!

Mrs. Gu was daydreaming, and her dreams were full of shining golden walnuts. Mrs. Gu took her to a pawn shop.

Mrs. Gu took out the jewelry. Mrs. Gu's eyes widened and she looked at these shining golden jewelry greedily.

Oh My God! She has never seen such beautiful and dazzling jewelry in her life. How much money is it worth?

The pawnshop owner straightened up when he saw the money Gu took out.

These jewelry are not something ordinary people can own.

He looked at Mrs. Gu and asked:

"Madam, are these jewelry yours?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's mine! This is my daughter's dowry! She honors me! How about it? These jewelry are not something ordinary people can have, they must be worth a lot of money!"

The shopkeeper didn't think much after hearing this. He thought that some nobleman had taken a fancy to the reward given by Gu's daughter.

Wow, this woman really gave birth to a good daughter. Which master is she marrying as a concubine? These things are so exquisite that they should be produced by Guangchu Division and Manufacturing Office.

Among the jewelry sold in jewelry stores outside, only the jewelry produced by Baoli Jewelry can compete with these jewelry in terms of workmanship and quality of gemstones. However, these are not produced by Baoli Jewelry, so they can only be produced by Guangzhou Division and Manufacturing Office. Produced everywhere.

"I wonder if madam you want to pawn them alive or dead?" It would be great if these jewelry could be pawned dead. The shopkeeper's eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at these jewelry: each of these jewelry can definitely be sold. More than five hundred taels! That bracelet can sell for nearly ten thousand taels! There are times when you meet a generous owner and buy it without saying a word for ten thousand taels! Good jade is priceless! This kind of fine jade bracelet can be collected as a family heirloom!

He has been a pawnshop owner for decades, and this is the first time he has encountered such a good jade bracelet! Of course, this is also the first time that someone has used something produced by the Guangchu Division and the Manufacturing Office as a pawn.

"Dang Dang, I'm waiting for the money to save my niece." She doesn't have the money to redeem her, so why should she live? Of course it's a pawn to death, but at least you can get a little more money.

"Yes, yes, please hurry up and estimate the shopkeeper's trouble. My grandson is still waiting for the money to buy medicine and go back to save his life!"

It turned out that he was short of life-saving money! No wonder he was willing to pawn these jewelry. The shopkeeper nodded after hearing this: "These jewelry are not bad. If you die, this bracelet will be a thousand taels. These add up to 500 taels, making a total of 1,500 taels!"

One thousand five hundred taels? ! Mrs. Gu's eyes widened after hearing this!

Oh my God! This is really... Mrs. Gu is so excited, it’s really great!

This wasn't the first time Gu had pawned something, it was just that the pawn shop she went to was different every time.

She knew that the pawnshop owner would offer a low price and let the other party make a counteroffer.

Mrs. Gu suppressed her excitement, pretended to be calm and said: "Two thousand taels, one tael is missing, I don't think so! I'll go find the second shop! These jewelry can't be bought with money!"

The jewelry from the palace can’t be bought everywhere, right?

Two thousand taels, he thought she would pay back the two thousand five hundred taels. After hearing this, the shopkeeper said: "Okay, two thousand taels is two thousand taels. I also heard that you were waiting to get the silver to save your life." With such a high price, I’m worried that my master will scold me if I lose money.”

Taking two thousand taels of silver notes, the two of them walked out of the pawn shop in a daze.

Mrs. Gu never imagined that those pieces of jewelry could be worth two thousand taels if they were pawned!

That jade bracelet alone can be worth a thousand taels.

She quite regretted not taking a few more jade bracelets at that time. In that case, she could have pawned thousands more taels. Will she still worry about not having any money in the future?

After Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu left the pawn shop, they prepared to go to the drug store to grab medicine.

Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes, and she tugged on Mrs. Gu's clothes: "Pan Nan, you have been out for a long time. I am afraid that my uncle will look for you. You also know that he doesn't like you to interact with us. You will give the banknote Give it to me, I’ll get some medicine, and you should go back home quickly!”

Gu thought the same thing. If her husband-in-law was at home today, and if he asked about him and his servants told him that he and his mother had gone out, he would suspect that he had taken something from the Du family to subsidize his mother's family.

"Okay, I'll give you a hundred taels to get the medicine. Mother will go back home as soon as she gets the medicine."

A total of two thousand taels of silver, only one hundred taels for yourself? Sure enough, it was the water thrown out by the married daughter! It was really a waste of money to raise her! There was no anger on Mrs. Gu's face. She took out the handkerchief soaked in pepper water that she had prepared before going out and wiped her eyes, crying: "Pan Nan, the doctor said that Hongxia's injuries this time are worse than Honggen." If it’s serious, you’ll need Thousand-Year Ginseng to survive, and Honggen’s body isn’t in good shape either. It’s best to eat some Thousand-Year Ginseng to make up for it. I’m afraid I can’t even buy a single Thousand-Year Ginseng with these 100 taels!”

so serious? However, no matter how ignorant Gu is, she knows that Millennium Ginseng is expensive but not marketable. When the drug store released the news that Millennium Ginseng was available, the price was raised to tens of thousands of taels by those wealthy families competing for it?

"Then what should we do? Millennium ginseng is not that easy to find!" She did know that Prince An's palace gave Du Yijin a thousand-year ginseng as a betrothal gift. She also thought about taking it secretly at the time, but she didn't have time. If she had known, she would only take it Ginseng, if you don’t take anything else, you’re really losing money.

"The doctor said he still has a small half of Thousand-year-old ginseng, but he only needs three thousand taels. You give me two thousand taels first, and I will ask the doctor to prepare some medicine for your poor nieces and nephews. If you have the remaining one thousand taels, think about it quickly. Can we put together a plan?" After Mrs. Gu said this, she reached out and took out the banknote that Gu had placed in her arms.

Mrs. Gu did not stop Mrs. Gu's actions, and she was used to Mrs. Gu doing this.

She was just worried about the remaining one thousand taels, how on earth she was going to get it together!

After Mrs. Gu got the banknote, she coaxed Mr. Gu home.
