The Ancient Growth Diary of a Little Zombie

Chapter 319: Money is Hard to Come By

Before Shishi could wonder, she was taken out of the car by her mother and hurried back to the courtyard of their east wing with Xu.

"Shishi, do you understand?

Don't worry, Auntie won't take it for nothing. If you can spare some, Auntie will buy it from you for a thousand taels of silver, okay?"

In the room, the two women stared at the sleepy little man sitting on the stool.

When Xiao Wang heard Xu say that she wanted to exchange one thousand taels for a piece of cosmetics, her heart started pounding.

Niangle!

When I think about the pile of cosmetics my daughter gave to me before, which were left gathering dust after I used them once, I feel it is such a waste!

Shishi tried hard to open his eyes wide, as his eyelids were fighting each other, and thought about what Aunt Xu had just said.

The Queen wants cosmetics.

Isn’t that the gentle, beautiful, and cooperative wife of the emperor’s younger brother?

"My dear, the Queen has given us many treasures~"

Seeing that her daughter didn't respond for a long time, Xiao Wang couldn't help but remind her.

It’s not that she is unwilling to take advantage of others, but it is rumored that most emperors have three thousand beauties in their harem.

Although the queen is still beautiful and dignified, time is merciless. How can she compare with those young and beautiful fairies who came later?

Now that there is a way, how can she just watch the queen who is so gentle and kind to others being outshined by another little goblin and lose her favor!

The distracted Shishi was brought back to life by her mother's voice. Seeing that both of them were looking at her eagerly, she nodded her head quickly.

"Yeah, wait a minute."

After saying that, he stood up and ran out the door.

Soon, the two people sitting in the main house heard the little girl calling out from her room:

"Mother, Aunt Xu, come quickly!"

After hearing the sound, the two looked at each other and hurriedly got up and walked towards the little girl's room.

The little girl's door was not closed. As soon as the two stepped in, they were shocked by the scene they saw and gasped.

The room was filled with various large and small packaging boxes of cosmetics, makeup tools, and skin care products.

Xu was shocked by what she saw.

This little goddess is too amazing!

Although she had never sent anyone to monitor this family, she was certain that these items had never been in this yard before.

But she was sensible enough not to ask about the source of the things.

She was just secretly amazed at the generosity of the little girl. She had originally thought that if she could coax the little girl into giving her two sets, one for the queen and one for herself, she would be extremely lucky.

Little Wang was also shocked by the girl's generosity.

Why is that damn girl acting like she's at home? She doesn't know how to control herself!

Shishi pointed at the boxes scattered on the floor and said to Xu nonchalantly:

"Aunt Xu, divide these between you and Aunt Queen. It should be enough for you to use for a long time."

The corpse thought for a moment, scratched his head, and added:

"for free."

These two aunts are very kind to me. Since they like these so much, let these be my thank you gifts to them.

The money-grubber finally managed to be generous to an outsider, but unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu objected:

“How can this be possible!

Not to mention that these are all good things we have never seen before. If there were only one or two of them, my aunt would have accepted them.

But with so much, how can your aunt take advantage of you, a little girl?

We agreed to pay the same amount, so it will be the same amount.

After Madam Li has counted the amount, I will get the banknotes for you."

Seeing how determined she was, Shisi didn't insist on giving it away for free like she did to her family.

Don’t refuse the money that comes to your door.

The little money-grubber who doesn't quite understand the ways of the world just wants to take the money that's delivered to her door first, and then give them something else as a thank you gift next time.

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, she saw her mother next to her shaking her head slightly at her.

Shishi looked back with innocent eyes, as if saying:

The corpse didn't want it either, it was Aunt Xu who insisted on giving it to me.

But she still pursed her lips as she was about to speak and stopped talking.

Little Wang looked at the boxes of different sizes scattered on the ground. If they were really worth a thousand taels each, she couldn't imagine how much silver they would be worth added together.

Although what the girl took out was unique in the world, in the final analysis, it was just some women's rouge and powder.

She didn't know how much the items used by the royal women in the past were worth, but the rouge and powder supplied to the wealthy families and ladies in the town were only worth a few dozen taels of silver at the most expensive.

Seeing that her daughter was silent, Xiao Wang knew that she didn't know how to deal with it.

After careful consideration, she said hesitantly:

"Sister Xu, this thousand taels is really too much. How about a hundred taels each?"

In fact, she felt a little guilty when she mentioned the hundred taels.

It’s worth remembering that not long ago, their whole family was living in poverty because of their daughter’s illness, where every penny counted.

And now he actually asked for a starting price of one hundred taels.

But my daughter's things are unique in the world. If I accept too much silver, the two families will seem estranged, and if I accept too little, the princess will feel uncomfortable.

One hundred taels is the same. It should be just right for her as a princess, right?

Little Wang was taught by Xu, so she could naturally guess what she was thinking. She also saw the little girl nodding in agreement.

After thinking about it, he smiled calmly and said:

"Hahaha~ Then I'm really getting a great deal today.

You don't know that the cosmetics I used in the past, which were presented to the ladies in the palace every year by the emperor, are not as good as the ones you gave me, Shishi.

And there are only so many quotas each year, and once they are used up, there is no place to buy more.

Not to mention the wives of ordinary officials, it would be hard to find one even if it cost a fortune!"

Shishi, who had been looking listless, and her guilty mother, immediately perked up when they heard this.

Xiao Wang: What kind of thing is so priceless?

Rouge and powder cost thousands of gold, yet it is hard to find???

What family?

Life is just unbearable!

"Aunt Xu, me, me, me!

I beg, no, no, I don't need to beg, I just give money and it will come!"

Shisi was so excited that when he thought about the countless cosmetics he owned, he felt that he could become rich without having to work hard to rob the rich and help the poor!

Mrs. Xu was very satisfied with the little girl's reaction.

What I said just now was a test, but also a way of thanking her.

Just because the little girl could get so many cosmetics out of thin air at once, Xu suspected that whether they appeared out of thin air or were hidden in some magic weapon, the little girl must have more than that.

When these rouges and powders are circulated, apart from attracting women's admiration, they will not cause any other changes.

Since the family was embarrassed to charge her more money and the girl loved money, she might as well give her a way to make money.

"Oh? You can get it if you pay? But how much can you give?"

Xu raised her eyebrows at the corpse and couldn't help but tease.

When Xiao Wang heard this, she thought something was wrong and was about to reach out to cover her daughter's mouth, but she had already tilted her head back and finished the story very proudly.

"Ah-ah! As much as you want!"

"What are you talking about, you little bitch!"

Xiao Wang wanted to cover her mouth with her hand, but instead she gently pushed.

The silly girl doesn't even know how to control her words, she's about to reveal all her secrets!

Seeing the two people's very different reactions, Xu was amused and laughed out loud:

"Hehe~ Don't be upset, little sister. Shishi is too kind-hearted. I can teach her a lesson slowly in the future."

Then she looked at the corpse and said softly:

"Silly girl, you can't just ask for as much as you want. Even if you really have it, you can't say it like that.

Do you know that scarcity makes things valuable? "

Upon hearing this, Shi Shi tilted his head and thought carefully, then nodded blankly.

Swindler, Aunt Xu is a black-hearted swindler!

But the corpse likes it, hehe~
