Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled, leaning on Song Yuehua's arm, "Sister, this is what I saved for you. I made a lot of money from selling my embroidery. You don't have to worry about money for me in the future. I have saved enough for next year's expenses."
"next year……"
Song Yuehua was speechless for a moment.
"Qi Zi, go help Madam Xia make dinner."
Song Yuehua sent Qi Zi away, and took out the letter Yan Yujiu wrote to her and handed it to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, there are some things that you should read yourself."
In addition to the letters, there were also silver bills and tokens from the embroidery workshop, all placed in front of her.
Xiaoyu took the letter and read it for a long time, tears falling down her face. She raised her head with a look of fear, "Sister, what should I do? Will Brother Yujiu die?"
Brother Yujiu?
Is that what the brave and cowardly Xiaoyu named Yan called him?
Song Yuehua gnashed her teeth in anger, but she remained calm and said, "As long as County Magistrate Yan is not involved, he should not be sentenced to death."
"Sister," Xiaoyu was both scared and sad, "Brother Yujiu..."
Although Song Yuehua cursed Yan Yujiu in her heart, she could only comfort him, "Master Duan and Wang Da and Wang Xiao have gone to inquire about it. We will hear what they say then."
After Dabao, Xiaobao and Xiaoyu came back, they seemed to lack interest in talking to Xiaoyu.
The three asked Song Yuehua what was going on.
"I haven't been back for a few years. I was too excited when I came back this time. This is a symptom of fatigue." Song Yuehua lied.
Fortunately, the three of them believed it and did not disturb Xiaoyu's rest.
That night, Xiaoyu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well.
The next morning, Song Yuehua saw that she could not even open her eyes, so she could only ask the family to keep the noise down and let her sleep a little longer.
I had originally planned to take Xiaoyu to the chess hall today, but I have to give up on that plan.
Song Yuehua packed the jewelry box, put it in a backpack, and went to the gold shop with Wei Da to exchange money with the owner.
The owner of this gold shop was quite familiar with her, and she had exchanged all her gold ingots there.
The shopkeeper examined the item carefully and said bluntly, "It's from the capital city, right? You have to buy it for at least 5,000 taels. Logically, you can get 3,000 taels for it, but we are a small place, so I won't cheat you. I can only give you 2,000 taels at most. What do you think, girl?"
Before coming, Song Yuehua also asked Madam Xia to estimate the price, and she expected it to be about 2,000 taels.
Song Yuehua covered her nose and said, "Please add a little more. If it weren't for the emergency at home, I wouldn't be able to sell the dowry left to me by my old mother. Shopkeeper, please add a little more..."
The shopkeeper sighed helplessly and said, "Add another 200 taels at most. Please stop smoking."
Song Yuehua, "..."
I heard from Master Yi that silver notes can also be used in the border states, but merchants don't like them.
Song Yuehua exchanged the 2,000 taels of silver notes that Yan Yujiu had sent her, plus the 2,200 taels, for gold bars.
The shopkeeper gave me a small wooden box containing 6 gold bars.
Song Yuehua stuffed the wooden box into her arms, didn't go to the chess hall, and went straight home.
