Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 32: selling pearls

"I understand what you mean. The young owner of Jubaozhai is in urgent need of pearls. I will tell my mother so that she can get a good price."

Su Qingluo was only five years old at the moment, so she could just listen to the royal family's secrets, and important government affairs were too far away from her, so there was no need to get entangled.

"Okay, I'll go and listen to what else they said, and I'll tell you something interesting."

The little kingfisher's gossip heart was about to move, and he cut off the sound transmission in his mind immediately.

"Hey, this guy, where is the excitement? Who did you learn this habit of listening to corners?"

Su Qingluo calmed down, hugging the drowsy Xiaotuanzi who was shaken by the carriage, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and a playful smile appeared.

***********

Su Hu drove the carriage to Jubaozhai, parked the carriage at the door, took the family into the lobby, and walked straight to the counter selling pearl jewelry.

Li Xiu'e had the experience of selling ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in Kongshantang in recent years, so she simply asked the price of pearl jewelry, and asked the boy to see their shopkeeper.

Seeing her plain clothes, the young man was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, and hurriedly led people to the backyard.

"Mother, the price they gave is less than one hundred taels of silver, so I won't sell it."

Su Qingluo followed Li Xiu'e with Xiaotuanzi in her arms, and had a general understanding of the market of pearl jewelry, and she knew it well.

"Well, listen to Miss Yu."

Li Xiu'e took a breath when she heard a hundred taels, and then she seemed to have a backbone, her back was straight, and her face was also happy.

One hundred taels a piece, thirty-six taels is 3600 taels, and the money to buy the yard is settled.

***********

Selling pearls went more smoothly than Su Qingluo expected. When the young owner of Jubaozhai saw thirty-six pearls the size of pigeon eggs, he went from dumbfounded to ecstatic and weeping with joy. There are a lot of actors out there.

Thirty-six pearls, depending on the color and size, were sold at an almost sky-high price under Su Qingluo's occasional, feigned hesitation.

When the family walked out of the gate of Jubaozhai, the pockets of Su Hu and his wife were full of bank notes from Jufeng Bank, one hundred taels each, a total of sixty.

Thirty-six pearls sold for six thousand taels.

The couple were almost stunned by the silver. They walked as if they were stepping on cotton, and their heels couldn't hit the ground. Fluttering out of the gate, she was so dizzy that she almost couldn't find the carriage.

*************

Su Hu was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night. Early the next morning, with two dark circles under his eyes, he had a hurried breakfast, took his wife and children to the dental office, paid the rest of the money, and won the match. The key to the house was in his pocket.

"Guest officer, do you need a gatekeeper and a servant girl in your family?"

The clerk of the tooth shop collected the money, smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and offered extra services: "If the guest officer needs it, we know a familiar toothmaid, and we have ready-made candidates in hand, so we can see each other at any time."

"Daughter-in-law, sister Qiao is too lonely to study alone in the county. It's good to have someone to accompany her."

Su Hu was tempted, he had money in his pocket and confidence, he didn't want to lose his child.

"Father, I don't need a maid."

Su Ziqin hurriedly stopped him: "I can cook and wash clothes. I don't need anyone to wait on me. Besides, I can only concentrate on studying alone. If someone is watching, I won't be happy."

"The maid is not in a hurry, the gatekeeper is a must."

Li Xiu'e thinks more long-term: "It's safer to have someone to look after the house. In the future, when Doudou grows up and comes to the county to study, there will be someone to take care of her."

"Um."

Su Hu always listened to his daughter-in-law, and when he saw that she was interested in buying a housekeeper, he immediately discussed with the shop assistant about the time to see her.

"If the guest officer wants to see it, he can do it anytime, and he can leave now."

The shop assistant smiled brightly, jumped onto the front shaft of the carriage with great enthusiasm, led the way for Su Hu, and accompanied them to find a familiar toothmaid.
