Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand
Chapter 728 The sickly prince's beloved pet - rude and unreasonable 18
Just as Gu Jiuyue and the other two walked out of the antique gate of Tongrentang, Liu Huai'en rushed forward and asked with concern:
"Mom, should we continue to stroll around this bustling street market, or go back to the village directly?"
After hearing her son's question, Gu Jiuyue did not answer immediately, but subconsciously turned her head to look at Yun Youran beside her, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, as if waiting for Yun Youran to give her opinion.
When Liu Qingyin and Liu Huai'en saw their mother's actions, they also turned their gazes to Yun Youran. For a moment, the four people's eyes met.
Yun Youran felt their gazes and was startled for a moment. Then a helpless smile appeared on her face and she said softly:
"Mom, why are you all staring at me?"
Gu Jiuyue smiled gently and explained: "I want to hear your thoughts."
Yun Youran answered neatly: "I don't have any ideas. Whether you continue shopping or go back to the village, I will accompany you."
After hearing Yun Youran's caring words, Gu Jiuyue felt warm in her heart.
She pondered for a moment, then walked towards Liu Huai'en.
After getting closer, he observed the surroundings, then leaned close to Liu Huai'en's ear and whispered in a low voice.
Liu Huai'en was confused at first, but when he heard what his mother said, he felt like he was struck by lightning. His body trembled violently and he almost lost his balance.
If he had not realized in time that he was in a busy street, he would have probably collapsed on the ground in loss of composure.
Despite this, his heart was still as turbulent as if it was hit by a storm and he couldn't calm down.
Those two ginseng roots were sold for a full 60,000 taels of silver! Even the basket of Ganoderma lucidum was sold for a high price of more than 800 taels.
Such an astonishing price made Liu Huai'en unable to believe his ears. He never thought that his family would suddenly become rich one day.
A total of more than 60,000 taels of silver, which is an astronomical figure for their family. If they live frugally, it would be difficult to squander it all in a lifetime.
Back then, in order to earn just one or two taels of silver, their family had to get up early and work late every day, toiling for as long as half a year to barely scrape together enough money.
But now, the mother and two sisters only had to go up the mountain once, and they easily carried back home a huge fortune worth 60,000 taels.
He looked at Liu Qingyin and Yun Youran with joy and a little nervousness, and he was so excited that he stuttered:
"Qing...Yin, Xiao Ran, look at the crowds coming and going here, it's really unsafe.
Or... let's go back first! If we want to buy something, we can slowly choose and buy it after we return to town. What do you think?"
Yun Youran smiled and nodded to show her agreement.
After all, her space was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, and she really didn't have anything she wanted or particularly needed to buy.
Although Liu Qingyin felt a little regretful that she could not continue shopping, her eyelids twitched involuntarily when she caught a glimpse of the basket in Yun Youran's hand.
She nodded even more eagerly than Yun Youran and said, "Yes, yes, let's go back quickly! We didn't go out just to buy things today, so it's better to go home early!"
With such huge wealth in hand, not only Liu Huai'en, Gu Jiuyue, and Liu Qingyin, the mentality of the three of them has quietly changed.
Whether walking on the road or passing by people, they always feel that the eyes of people around them are not right, as if everyone has ulterior motives and wants to steal their money.
This feeling of unease makes them extremely sensitive and they dislike everyone, as if everyone is a potential threat.
Seeing their nervous expressions as if they were facing a great enemy, Yun Youran couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.
She whispered, "If you want to go home, then go back!"
For them, if they cannot bring so much money back home in time and keep it properly, it would be really uneasy to leave it outside.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Yun Youran touched her belly and said to stop them:
"Even if we're not going shopping today, we still have to find a place to sit down and eat something before going back!
My stomach is growling with hunger and I really can’t stand it any longer.”
Gu Jiuyue, who was standing by, suddenly came to her senses when she heard these words.
Recalling what happened just now at Tongrentang, Yun Youran only took a sip of tea and then went on to negotiate with the shopkeeper about the price of ginseng. He must be very hungry at this moment.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiuyue's face was filled with guilt, and he quickly responded, "Okay, let's go eat something first, and then we'll go home."
So, the four of them pulled the donkey cart slowly forward, and soon they arrived at a small stall on the street.
Before getting close, the tempting aroma hits your nose.
Smelling the rich aroma of wontons, Liu Huai'en couldn't wait to shout loudly: "Boss, give us four bowls of steaming wontons!"
As for why they don’t go to restaurants to enjoy a feast now that they have money?
The reason for this is naturally that both Liu Huai'en and Gu Jiuyue were unwilling to go.
For them, even though they have more money now, they still feel that money is hard-earned and must not be squandered or wasted.
After all, even the cheapest dishes in a restaurant would cost no less than one or two taels of silver if the four of them went there!
Are they crazy or what? They spend all the money that they used to have to rack their brains and find all kinds of ways to save up on just one meal?
It hurts to think about it.
Seeing that they were still so frugal, Yun Youran didn't say much.
She knew very well that some habits could not be changed overnight, and everything had to be done step by step and not in a rush.
Even with such great wealth, they are still able to stick to their original intentions and not forget their original aspirations, which is enough to prove that they are all kind-hearted people.
At this time, the shop owner came forward with a smile on her face and asked enthusiastically:
"Four guests, wontons are divided into small and large bowls. The small bowl costs two cents, and the large bowl costs three cents.
I wonder if the four guests would like to have a large bowl or a small bowl?"
Before Gu Jiuyue and the others could speak, Yun Youran made a prompt decision and answered straightforwardly, "Boss, please give us four large bowls of wontons."
"Okay! Please wait a moment, guests. The delicious wontons will be served to you soon." The proprietress responded and turned around to get busy.
