Chapter 100 Ignorance
But for that jewelry, she was bound to get it.
But...
Eighty thousand taels of silver.
Although it took three years to clear the magistrate's office and earn one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, her father stayed in the position of chief envoy for seven or eight years, and her Dai family also accumulated some wealth.
But eighty thousand taels of silver was already beyond the bottom line of what she could afford. No matter how much more she had, she wouldn't be able to afford it.
All the banknotes she had on hand totaled only one hundred thousand taels of silver, most of which were bribes paid by her master in the past few years to repair the river.
She couldn't just throw away all the money she had saved so hard just for a set of jewelry.
Yu Min and Yu Qian are now old, and they have to start preparing for their daughter's dowry. She also has her son, who spends every day eating, drinking, playing, listening to plays and betting on horses. The family's expenses are so high, so some of the 100,000 taels of silver must be left for her. Bar.
Mrs. Dai felt a pang in her heart, but she couldn't give up just like that.
She weakly added another two hundred taels of silver and glared at Madam Ziyi with sinister eyes, trying to scare her away with her eyes.
However, as soon as her voice fell, the price was quoted at 90,000 taels of silver. Mrs. Dai was so angry that she beat her chest and feet, feeling a dull pain in her heart, liver, and lungs.
What should I do?
She couldn't afford it for ninety thousand taels of silver.
If she dares to spend all one hundred thousand taels of silver, the master will definitely skin her after she returns.
However, looking at the jewelry, it was sparkling and exquisite. She liked it very much and was reluctant to give it up.
Mrs. Dai was so confused that blisters appeared on her lips.
Dai Yumin quietly tugged on Mrs. Dai's sleeve, "Mom, don't worry. With our family's power in Yi'an, we can't get anything. You have to be patient for now. When the auction is over, we will go find that person." .”
She said, glancing at the purple lady with a faint look. Mrs. Dai was stunned. After a while, she finally understood what Dai Yumin meant.
She, the chief envoy's wife, couldn't buy the things she wanted, so she used her power to suppress others to see if the woman in purple dared not hand over the things.
When the time comes, maybe she will get the things without spending a penny.
If she doesn't know what's going on, then...
A hint of evil flashed in Mrs. Dai's eyes, and she shut up and stopped bidding.
Dai Yumin held her mother's hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, if I get you something, can you leave it to me as a dowry?"
She is already fifteen years old this year. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be time for her to have hair extensions. Someone will definitely come to propose marriage by then.
When she gets married, if there is a set of priceless jewelry like this in her dowry, her status in her husband's family will definitely improve a lot.
In front of the ladies in the circle, he must have more face.
Dai Yumin pursed her lips and smiled, thinking of her own wishful thinking, but the look she glanced at Madam Ziyi was so cold that it felt like an ice cellar, bone-chilling.
After the auction, Madam Ziyi took her two little maids and left in a hurry with several exquisite jewelry boxes.
In front of the store, she got into an inconspicuous carriage and told the driver, "Quickly, take a small road back home."
The carriage sped away and soon turned into a small street.
As soon as their carriage disappeared, several sneaky men quickened their pace and chased after them.
Half an hour later, the carriage entered a remote and quiet alley,
Hiss...
Halfway through the alley, the carriage suddenly stopped...
