Upon seeing the treasures inside, even Qin San Niang couldn't help but drool. Forgive her, she came from a humble family and lacked worldly experience!
She had never seen so many treasures in both her previous two lives combined!
The box was filled with gold and silver jewelry, glittering and waving at her. Each gold ingot must weigh half a pound! This box contained so much money! The other box contained pearls, agates, jade, and gold and silver jewelry.
Jade pieces of various shapes and sizes were piled together, and some of them even felt warm to the touch—they were warm jade!
He Yingyuan's expression remained relatively calm. He had expected a great deal of wealth here, but it turned out to be so little? It wasn't even a tenth of the treasure in his mansion from his previous life. However, even so, it was enough for a poor scholar like himself!
For He Yingyuan now, money is merely a tool. In his past life, he was incredibly wealthy, accumulating a fortune, but he couldn't take it with him when he died. Besides, with his intelligence, his wealth would only increase. What he lacked wasn't money, but capital.
"Madam Qin, as agreed, we will split this money in half."
What an upright and honorable gentleman!
“Brother He, you truly keep your word. Can we make a deal? If you give me all these jade stones and pearls, I'll forgo my gold. I'm very interested in jade; to be honest, I'm even thinking of opening a jade shop when I get to the south! These materials will last me a long time!”
Qin San Niang was genuinely grateful to him. If it were anyone else, they could have kept all that treasure for themselves or made up an excuse that they hadn't found it and secretly deposited it into a bank, only to come back for it later.
But He Yingyuan didn't do that. What does that mean? It means he's a good person!
If Qin Sanniang had known that he was a reincarnated person, and that the gold and silver treasures would fall into the hands of thieves if they weren't taken this time, and that He Yingyuan had no choice but to do this, she would definitely have taken back her words! She's a heartless person!
Gold and silver can be earned back, but these jade stones cannot be collected in a short time! Besides, upgrading the space requires jade stones, which is of paramount importance!
Her intuition told her that she needed to quickly expand the space to prepare for future needs.
He knew that Qin San Niang liked jade, and she seemed quite sincere. Besides, these jade pieces were a burden to him; they were too heavy to carry and wouldn't fetch a good price!
In peaceful times, one could pawn items for a considerable sum, but in times of war, gold and silver were the safest bets.
In the end, both of them were happy. Qin San Niang happily carried the box on her back. Most of the jade stones had already been thrown into her spatial storage, so it was actually quite light to carry on her back now.
He Yingyuan was different. This box of gold was quite heavy, but thinking that he would have the capital to make a living in the future, he felt full of energy and was able to carry it down the mountain to the place where the horses were grazed.
This carriage and horse stable is a place for pilgrims to rest on their way up the mountain, and also a place for merchants traveling from the north and south to stay, have a meal, drink tea, and chat. In short, there are still people eating inside right now!
With so many treasures in their possession, Qin Sanniang and He Yingyuan certainly didn't want to rest here. It wouldn't be good if someone noticed and decided to kill them.
The two traveled quickly and soon arrived at the bustling city center. After that, they went their separate ways.
Although He Xiucai didn't know how Qin Sanniang planned to store the gold and silver jewelry, he was certainly worried about carrying so much gold on the road. He turned around and went to Huitong Bank. In his previous life, the owner of this bank was a very influential person, and he would never have any ill intentions because of this little bit of gold. After all, his family's business was huge! Besides, he didn't intend to store all the gold.
Inside the inn, Liu and the others were chatting and laughing under the lamp when they saw their eldest daughter enter. She scolded her, "You silly girl, why are you back so late? We just finished talking about how we sold our horses and mules for a good price!"
These horses are military horses, all specially raised by people. They are glossy and shiny, and one horse sold for thirty-five taels of silver. As for the mule, although it didn't have much to eat on the way to escape, Qin San Niang often sprinkled some black beans on it as a supplementary meal. The mule, which looked ordinary, was much more energetic and sold for ten taels of silver.
"That's wonderful!" She washed her face by the basin. Qin San Niang complimented, "This price is really great!"
“I just happened to run into Brother He on his way to visit relatives. I never expected we would be traveling the same way. He should be back soon.” As if she had just seen Liao Hongying, Qin San Niang quickly said.
Liao Hongying put away her needlework, frowning. "Sigh, I'm not afraid to tell you something, but I'm worried about you too. My husband insists on borrowing some money from relatives to make ends meet. You know, the world these days..."
Seeing that Qin San Niang had returned, she couldn't sit still any longer. According to the innkeeper's wife, her husband had gone out with Qin San Niangzi. It wasn't that she was worried about the two of them having an affair, but she was afraid that her husband would trouble Qin San Niangzi to deal with his so-called relative again. Although they were still poor and destitute, at least they had some kind people helping them. Her aunt lived in the Jiangnan area, and she planned to ask her aunt for help, hoping to borrow some money to settle down. After all, even building a thatched house would require an ounce of silver.
Liao Hongying felt increasingly unable to understand her husband. He was still the same person, but something seemed different! If it weren't for the fact that he treated the children with utmost care and attention, even more so than before, she would have worried that her husband had become a completely different person!
He quickly said goodbye, picked up the baby, and took the older child back inside.
"Oh dear, I forgot to return the cart! Mother, it's not even 9 PM yet, is it?"
She had no hope of changing her eldest daughter's tendency to jump around in surprise. "It's not even 9 PM yet! What's wrong? Did you borrow that cart? I thought it belonged to the innkeeper!"
"Oh dear, I got so busy I forgot! I promised to return it around 9 PM. It's not far, just over there on the street. I'll be right back!"
"Wait a moment, Third Sister, let Fatty go with you."
That was Wu Chunhua's voice. Fatty was watching Azhi and Anan play in the house. When she heard her mother's voice, she quickly came out and followed Aunt San Niang.
The steamed bun vendor had a good day; his morning sales alone exceeded his usual daily volume. He was about to head home when he bumped into Aunt Qin and Fatty Ya, who were returning their cart. Their smiles widened even more!
After exchanging pleasantries, Qin San Niang bought up all the remaining steamed buns to his astonishment, making the vendor feel incredibly lucky. Selling steamed buns really suited him!
Now that she was out, Qin San Niang decided to sweep through the market again, buying only foods that could be stored for a while, such as dried fish, dried meat, and some hard sesame cakes, plus some snacks for the children, all of which could be displayed openly.
Thinking that my child has recently learned a few characters, but only by drawing on the ground with twigs, I decided to buy some paper now that we have the money so he can practice writing. After all, drawing on the ground is different from writing on paper. Besides, we now have a scholar in our group, so we should make the most of what we have!
