My Island Pass Hyundai

Chapter 112
The second young man asked the shopkeeper Lu to go downstairs and call a courtier who is good at knowing incense to come up, and carefully and carefully scraped off a small rub of ambergris powder to taste it carefully.

The end result is a medium ambergris.

"Are you sure about Chaofeng, are you sure it's medium?"

Lao Chaofeng stroked his beard confidently and said in affirmation: "It is indeed medium. I saw a piece of top-quality ambergris with my master 20 years ago. The original fragrance was pure white and moist. Both the feel and the smell are far better than this one. .”

He estimated the price of this piece of ambergris in a low voice and went downstairs.

Nian Erye came back with a smile on his face.

Although this fragrance is only moderate, even if it is moderate, it is still the spice sought after by those dignitaries in Kyoto.This thing is so rare, rare is expensive.

"Second Master is so happy, do you think things didn't disappoint you?"

"The little girl's eyes are sharp enough. This thing is indeed a treasure, and it is medium-quality ambergris."

Ye Yu's heart tightened, medium, isn't it worthless?
The second brother could see what she was worried about at a glance, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it is a treasure of medium quality, and the price is beyond your imagination."

Shopkeeper Lu came over with the abacus and scales in due course and put them on the table.

"Let's weigh it first, and then we'll calculate the price."

Nian Erye was in a very good mood, he put the piece of ambergris into the basket with the pole and hooked it up.

When the weight was dialed and the beam was lifted, the hearts of the mother and daughter were also raised.Looking at the weight that is constantly being pushed back, I secretly look forward to going back a little bit.

"A total of seven catties and eight taels!"

Nian Erye pulled the weight and dropped it very low. In fact, it should only be about seven catties and five to seven catties and six taels, but the weight of the basket has not been removed.

"I'll weigh the basket again."

It's not that Erye Nian cares about the one and a half taels of a catty, it's really that this thing is very expensive, a catty is worth thousands of taels of silver.The basket weighed a pound, if not reduced, it would be more than 1000 taels. He wanted to take care of the mother and daughter, but he didn't take it for granted.

Ye Yu had no objection, watched him beat the weight high, and reported a figure of two catties.

"This piece of ambergris weighs six catties and six taels. It's not bad, good intentions."

Second Master Nian beckoned to shopkeeper Lu to take away the scale, took the abacus and fiddled with it for a while, and then placed it in front of the mother and daughter.

"The ambergris is for the imperial use. You may not be able to find out the exact price on the market. I gave it to you according to the price purchased in the palace. Medium ambergris, one coin is 12 taels of silver, and here is a total of six catties Six, so the total price is 920 taels of silver."

Hearing this number, Ye Yu's hand held by A Niang suddenly felt a pain.Mrs. Xu wondered if her ears had misheard, nearly 8000 taels of silver, how could it be possible? !

Ye Yu had to calm down, but her heart was trembling slightly because of this number.This thing actually costs 12 taels per dollar, which is so much more expensive than gold. Indeed, only the royal family dares to be so extravagant.

"What about the price? Girl, don't worry, Second Master, I am most particular about sincerity in business, and the price will definitely not cheat you."

In fact, he would not make any money at all with such an offer.Of course, Erye Nian didn't want to buy this thing to make money.Sending such a rare treasure is a great gift no matter who it is given to, and the favors received are far more cost-effective than those thousands of taels of silver.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and both saw satisfaction and surprise in each other's eyes.

"Yu'er, you can make the decision."

Ye Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and decided.

"I have no objection to the price of the second master, but if you buy this thing, there is one more thing I want to trouble the second master."

"What do you say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

The second brother is in a very good mood now, and he agreed with one bite.Ye Yu briefly talked about Er Ya's matter.

The elder brother who was still smiling at first heard the story, and his expression suddenly became uneasy.It's not that he sympathizes with Er Ya, a strange girl is not worthy of his attention.He thought of himself when he heard the story.

He and Erya have one thing in common, that is, they both have a stepmother.Since childhood, he and his elder sister have been beaten and scolded by his stepmother countless times since he was a child. Later, his elder sister married and took him away together to live a better life.

So when he mentioned the stepmother, those dark memories in his heart were brought back, and his face naturally became ugly.

Mrs. Xu didn't know why, so she thought it was annoying to ask him to do this, so she kept pinching her daughter's hand under the table.

"Second Master? Just such a matter, is it convenient for you to help?"

The second eldest came back to his senses, and nodded solemnly.

"It's a trivial matter, just send someone there. Next time you just come here to get Er Ya's contract of prostitution."

After he finished speaking, he paused and said a few more words.

"By the way, once you get the deed of sale, I suggest that you don't tear it up directly, but go to the yamen to record it seriously. Sooner or later, her family will know that Erya is still alive. With the deed of sale in hand, they are the real relatives." Even her family members can’t take Erya away. Anyway, that girl is living with you on the island now, and there are no outsiders around, so let’s do this first, and when she is going to marry, you can get rid of her slave status, quietly. do not know."

When a woman marries and obeys her husband, when Erya gets her husband's household registration, her mother's family will be no threat at all.

Mrs. Xu nodded in agreement, and Ye Yu also felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately thanked Second Master Nian.

"It's easy to say, little girl, you're so smart, you'll figure it out without me telling you. Alright, let's sit down and have a cup of tea, and I'll get you the banknotes. Old Lu, write the deed first."

"Okay my boss."

Shopkeeper Lu prepared pen and ink a long time ago, and immediately unfolded the paper to write.

Although Ye Yu couldn't understand, she was determined to learn characters, so she asked shopkeeper Lu to read them to her one by one, and then remembered them in her heart and pointed them to Er Ya when she went back.After Erya has read it, she usually won't forget it. In the future, she can learn the words on the deed book first.

The shopkeeper is very talkative, writes every word and reads every word, and quickly fills up a large sheet.After finishing the two copies, it happened that the second child came back with a small box.

"Come on, take your order. Here are 900 taels of silver bills. I have another 20 taels of silver, which are all in this bag."

Ye Yu shook his hands, breathing quickly while holding the wooden box.Nearly 8000 taels of silver bills, I never thought I could get so much money in my life!

The mother and daughter took turns counting twice, and after confirming the number of bank notes, they quickly pressed their fingerprints.Second Master Nian was very satisfied with such a straightforward transaction, so he asked considerately.

"It's not safe for the two of you to go to the street with so many banknotes, why don't I send someone to take you to the pier?"

Ye Yu shook his head and refused, "Thank you, Second Lord, for your kindness, but Auntie and I still have to go to the county government office, so it may take a lot of time, so it's not troublesome."

"County office?"

The elder brother raised his eyebrows, thinking that I am familiar with this place.

　I did not use the ancient measurement unit here, but calculated according to the modern one catty = ten taels
