It’s a bit bigger than the lotus pendant, but just as exquisite. “How much is this?”
"Same thing for this one, three taels."
The total was six silver coins. After gritting his teeth and paying the money, Su Li took the two children out of the shop.
It was already evening, and Su Li thought that Pei Ji would be arriving in Luocheng by now, so she took her brother and sister to Wencheng Academy to find him.
Pei Ji had won the first place in the county examination, prefectural examination, and academy examination three times in a row, which was also known as the "Little Three Yuan". Naturally, he received some preferential treatment in the academy in all aspects.

Just when Su Li was curious about why Pei Ji was so generous, she saw him take out a silver bag full of silver and handed it to her.
"A while ago, all the major academies jointly held a calligraphy competition. This is the prize money I just won..."
Su Li took the purse, which was heavy, probably about ten or twenty taels. He was in a good mood as he suddenly had a good income.
