Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 13: Before I can even warm up to it, I’ve already spent money again!

Ye Wan took out copper coins from her purse and gave them to Jiang Ci. One hundred copper coins were strung together with a thread. Ye Wan directly took out half of them and gave them to Jiang Ci.

"Mom, you don't have to give me money, I have money." Jiang Ci was really surprised to see Ye Wan giving him so much money.

"Since I asked you to come with me today, there's no reason for me to ask you to pay. Besides, you don't have much money, so just keep it for yourself."

Ye Wan just felt that Brother Ci was so sensible that it made people feel distressed, and without saying a word, she stuffed the copper coins into Jiang Ci's hands.

"Brother Ci, take this money and buy yourself some things. When you and Jingsheng got married, we, your parents, didn't buy you anything new.

You can buy it yourself first. If you don’t have enough money, ask me for more. I will wait for you at the Liangjia shop over there in an hour and a half. We will go home together.”

After Ye Wan finished speaking, she didn't give Jiang Ci a chance to speak, just waved goodbye and left.

Ye Wan was not worried that Jiang Ci would not be able to find a good shop, because his shop was a place that could be seen as soon as one entered the town.

When Jiang Ci saw Ye Wan leave, she put the money in her hand into her arms and then started walking on the street with her backpack on her back.

Jiang Ci walked along the street and asked several people before he found the pawnshop. The person who gave him directions said that this pawnshop was the most reputable one in Yong'an Town.

Jiang Ci walked into the pawnshop and saw that there were not many people there, so he found an empty window, took out a jade hairpin from his arms and handed it to the person inside.

With a smile on his face, he said, "I heard that our shop is the most popular and reputable in this town. Big brother, can you help me take a look at this jade hairpin?"

The guy inside didn't speak to Jiang Ci in a disapproving tone because of his attire.

Don't hit a smiling person. The clerk inside was happy when he heard the young man praising his pawnshop, but he didn't show it on his face.

He took the jade hairpin and looked at it in his hand.

Jiang Ci continued, "Just come to our pawnshop. We have a fixed price and we are absolutely honest. Your hairpin is made of medium quality jade. You can hardly find such jade in Yong'an Town. Do you plan to pawn it alive or dead?

"This is the dowry my mother left for me before she died. If someone in my family wasn't seriously injured and needed money to buy medicine, I wouldn't be willing to give it out."

Jiang Ci said this with a look of reluctance and helplessness on her face.

The clerk had expected Jiang Ci's words, but he just felt it was a pity that such jade was not directly pawned to their shop.

"If it's pawned, it's 60 taels. The term is one year. The silver price will increase by 66%. You can redeem it at taels. I won't wait for you after the term expires. Remember that."

Jiang Ci was shocked by the price. She didn't expect that this jade hairpin was worth so much money.

Jiang Ci quickly put away the receipt and followed the waiter to get the silver.

The redemption price was 66 taels of silver. I don’t know if it was expensive or cheap compared to other pawnshops here, but it was much cheaper than the historical pawnshops we know about now.

Most of them have a monthly interest rate of 10% of the principal, and some of them are most commonly heard of as nine out of returns.

He had to save more than 60 taels of silver in this year, which was a bit stressful.

Holding 60 taels in her hand, Jiang Ci felt it was quite heavy and quickly put the silver under the clothes in the backpack.

It's really scary to walk on the street with so much silver.

Jiang Ci was going to the pharmacy to get medicine for Lin Jingsheng, "With this silver, at least I can afford to buy some good medicine this time."

Jiang Ci walked into Guiyun Pharmacy, feeling a little deserted and confused. Guiyun Pharmacy is one of the three largest pharmacies in Yong'an Town. Why is it so deserted today? Passing by Renhe Pharmacy, she saw that it was crowded.

There are three major pharmacies in Yong'an Town: Guiyun Pharmacy, a century-old store with a stable customer base; Renhe Pharmacy, which is the branch of the provincial government here, and has rare and hard-to-buy medicinal materials; and the other is Tongren Pharmacy, which has the same owner as Tongren Medical Clinic.

Jiang Ci already had an idea of ​​the prescription for treating Lin Jingsheng, but he didn't know how much the modern prescription differed from the one here.

So I planned to buy all these medicines from two pharmacies.

Jiang Ci took out two prescriptions from her arms, one for internal use and the other for external use ground into powder.

"Hey, buddy, please give me some medicine according to the prescription. This is passed down from my ancestors. Thank you."

The waiter got the medicine and packed it up. "Fourteen taels of silver."

The guy looked at the young man in front of him, wondering if the young man had so much money.

Jiang Ci took the silver from the backpack and handed it to the waiter, muttering in his heart, "Not bad! It's just 14 taels of silver! It's within the acceptable range! It's really not bad!"

It would be more believable if we ignored Jiang Ci's gaze on the silver.

The money I just got was gone, and my heart was bleeding. Although I had thought in advance that the medicine here would be very good, I still felt sad.

Forget it, this money is well spent. It will help Lin Jingsheng get better soon. Then I can let him work and earn money for myself.

Sure enough, thinking this way makes me feel much better.

Jiang Ci went to another pharmacy, spent another nine taels of silver, and then went to Liangjia Shop.

With my small body and so much money, I really can't go shopping outside.

Liangjia Shop is the largest grocery store in town, and it sells everything.

Jiang Ci arrived a little early, and Ye Wan had not arrived yet. The Liangjia shop had a very complete range of items.

Jiang Ci saw a medicine grinder for grinding medicine powder, so she bought one, which made applying the powder much easier.

Then, as Ye Wan said, I bought some things for the house and went for a stroll.

Ye Wan came with a lot of things in her hands.

Jiang Ci hurried forward to help get it and waited at the door for Lin Shan to take them home.

When they went back, they put a lot of things in the car, including rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cloth and clothes.

It was already noon when Jiang Ci got home. She wanted to help with cooking but was sent back to the house by Ye Wan.

"You are not needed here. Go to the house and talk to Jingsheng. We are all back now. He must be bored if no one comes to see him or talk to him. Just pack up the things in the backpack."

Yes, Lin Jingsheng must be bored staying in the room alone for the whole morning.

Happiness can be passed on, Jiang Ci believes this.

"Lin Jingsheng, I'm back." It was not difficult to tell from his tone that he was in a good mood.

When Lin Jingsheng heard the noise in the yard, he knew they had returned, but he didn't expect Jiang Ci to come into the house so soon.

"Yeah," Lin Jingsheng's mood couldn't help but improve when he saw Jiang Ci so energetic and happy.

Then, feeling that his answer was somewhat inappropriate, he added, "You're back. Are you happy to be in town?"

"I'm very happy. I bought a lot of things."

Jiang Ci put the backpack on the table, walked up to Lin Jingsheng, and saw that Lin Jingsheng's lips were a little dry.

"Let me get you some water."

Lin Jingsheng saw clearly the concern in Jiang Ci's eyes.

Jiang Ci took the kettle out and added some hot water. Jiang Ci poured the water into a bowl, picked up the bowl and felt that the temperature was a little high, so she blew on it until it was just the right temperature.
