Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

Chapter 401 This is the first time the princess does not have enough money to buy things
"Princess, you will know later."

The county magistrate's wife was still uncertain about Tao Xi's attitude towards her, so naturally she couldn't say it directly, and she was also afraid that Tao Xi would be angry.

This ambiguous statement made Princess Yun very upset, and just as she was about to get angry, she saw Tao Xi and Jian Shiming coming back together.

"Ma'am, this is what you want."

She handed a small red box to the county magistrate's wife and at the same time blinked at her. The county magistrate's wife didn't know why and decided to wait and see what happened.

"Mysterious, what is it?"

Princess Yun rolled her eyes speechlessly, thinking that there was nothing in this world she hadn't seen.

Father has always doted on her, and he always clings to her first when he gets good things.

"Princess, it's a rare thing."

The county magistrate's wife smiled, and with Tao Xi's consent, she slowly opened the small red velvet box.

Soon the dazzling pink pearls were revealed, even Princess Ruyun and Ji Zihe stood up abruptly.

"What a beautiful pearl!"

Not to mention them, even the county magistrate's wife was surprised.

Obviously the pearl she wanted wasn't that big, let alone pink.

Big white pearls are rare, let alone pink, how can she, a little magistrate's wife, afford them?
But she has always been calm, Tao Xi did not open her mouth, she showed a calm look.

"Ma'am, are you satisfied?"

Tao Xi blinked at her, the county magistrate's wife finally came to her senses, and hurriedly said:

"Satisfaction is naturally satisfaction, but the price..."

She couldn't figure out what Tao Xi meant, so she deliberately showed a look of embarrassment.

"It's a bit expensive."

Tao Xi was satisfied, but also showed a look of embarrassment, "Ma'am, my subordinates got this pearl from the sea with great effort.

There are people who died because of this pearl, and I have to appease their families. "

Jian Shiming and Qingzhi: ...

The corners of their mouths twitched.

Does the master dare to say that she fished out a pair of sea mussels from the breeding place, and then opened dozens of beautiful pearls?

"But..., county lord, do you have other pearls?"

The county magistrate's wife glanced at the pink pearl in the box pretending to be regretful, and handed it to Tao Xi reluctantly.

Tao Xi was not angry either, and took out another small box from his sleeve with a smile.

"Hey, there's another one, but it's absolutely comparable to that one."

"I'll see."

The county magistrate's wife understood that this pearl was what she wanted, and when she opened it, it turned out that it was a small white pearl.

This pearly white reflection is also very smooth, making people want to touch it.

"So lovely."

The county magistrate's wife expressed her satisfaction, and Princess Yun on the side couldn't help it, "This one is too ordinary, but the pink one is still more beautiful."

In fact, Princess Yun has never seen pink pearls before, but this is the first time she has seen a pink pearl as big as Taoxi.

Just once, she felt a little itchy, but she and Tao Xi didn't get along.

"That one is too expensive."

The magistrate's wife frowned, and reluctantly glanced at the red box in Tao Xi's hand, as if she couldn't make up her mind.

"What is the price?"

Princess Yun looked at Tao Xi proudly. Tao Xi and Jian Shiming looked at each other. Tao Xi touched the pink pearl and said softly:
"The white one is 2 taels, and the pink one."

Tao Xi pondered for a while, and then said: "For this pearl, I lost several treasure hunters, so it must be 10 taels."

"10 taels?!"

Princess Yun screamed out, although this money is not too much for her, it is still her share of money for several years.

"The appearance is really good, but the price..."

Ji Zihe clicked his tongue. To be honest, the price is not too expensive. If it were in the capital, it might be doubled.

"Too expensive."

The county magistrate's wife shook her head hastily, "Just this white one will cost me a lot of money, and the master will reprimand me when I go back."

"It's more than enough for a daughter as a dowry."

Tao Xi smiled and put the white pearl in the palm of the county magistrate's wife. The county magistrate's wife couldn't put it down, looked at it over and over again, and said to the maid behind her.

"That's all, I hope my worried girl can be more considerate to me."

The county magistrate's wife handed the prepared bank notes to Tao Xi, and Tao Xi counted the money until he was soft-hearted, and accepted all of them unceremoniously.

He also explained in detail how the county magistrate's wife should preserve the pearl, and Princess Yun, who was watching from the side, was amazed.

"How do you know so much?"

It seems that there is nothing in this world that Tao Xi doesn't know. Although Princess Yun doesn't like her very much, she has to admit that she is really good.

"It's just as good as it is."

Tao Xi put the red pearl back into the box and put it away carefully. Princess Yun's eyes were eager.

"Ji Zihe, do you have a bank note with you?"

She was a little moved, but she didn't have enough bank notes.

"Not much."

Ji Zihe guessed Princess Yun's thoughts almost instantly, and couldn't help clutching his sleeves tightly.

This Yunzhuo is a spendthrift in the capital, so he can't let him miss his purse.

"I didn't want you for nothing, I borrowed it!"

Princess Yun rolled her eyes angrily, as if she was being reckless, when would she be reckless.

Even so, Ji Zihe said with a bitter face, "But I don't have many."

He didn't bring much, and he wanted to eat all kinds of delicacies, all of which cost money.

"Lend it all to me, and I'll pay you back when I get back."

Princess Yun took out her bank notes from her sleeve and asked Xiang Ye next to her to count them.

Tao Xi and Jian Shiming glanced at each other, and the two of them sat calmly on one side and drank passion fruit tea.

"Princess, there are only 6 taels in total."

Xiang Ye frowned, this was the first time the princess didn't have enough money to buy things.

That's too embarrassing for the princess!

But 6 taels is not a small number. If it is not for buying pearls, it is enough for the princess to come out to play.

"cousin!"

Every time Princess Yun called Ji Zihe cousin, he felt his scalp go numb, "You call me, I don't have enough!"

"Bring them all!"

Princess Yun stretched out her hand to Ji Zihe, and he looked at Tao Xi and Jian Shiming as if asking for help.

However, Tao Xi originally wanted to cheat Princess Yun's money, so naturally she would not help Ji Zihe, she said to Jian Shiming carefully:
"It took a lot of manpower and material resources to get this pearl, but it cannot be sold easily.

Since there are few people, they don't want to go to sea again, worrying about people. "

"It's okay, there must be a brave man under the reward, I'll ask someone to find you a better one."

Jian Shiming stroked Tao Xi's hair gently, "You can keep this pink pearl and wear it yourself.

I think it matches your complexion very well, very beautiful. "

"really?"

Tao Xi couldn't help but took out the pink pearl and compared it to her neck. Not to mention, it was really pretty, and it made her skin reflect light.
