"Yes, women like jewelry, regardless of age!"

Lin Xu said with a smile.

"Then you tell me, what should I buy for my mother?"

"Well..."

Lin Xu looked at the counter for a while, pointed to a warm and watery buckle and said, "Brother Chong, what do you think of this buckle? The jade quality is very good and the workmanship is also good. More importantly, the buckle means health, safety, and longevity. I think it is very good to give it to the aunt!"

"I listen to you, so I bought this peace lock for my mother!"

Sun Chong also thought this Ping An buckle was very beautiful. After hearing Lin Xu’s meaning of the Ping An buckle, he liked it even more and immediately asked: “Shopkeeper, how much does this Ping An buckle cost?”

"Five taels of silver."

The shopkeeper opened his right hand and signaled.

"Just a small Ping An levy, it costs five taels of silver? It's too expensive!"

Sun Chong said in surprise!

"Customer, this peace buckle is carefully polished by top craftsmen with high-quality mutton fat jade! You can take a closer look. Is this texture and workmanship comparable to ordinary peace buckles? As for what you say, it is even more interesting. This head is not small in the peace buckle! If it is too big, it will be exhausting to wear it, right?"

"But five taels of silver are too expensive, so you can give it a little more cheaper."

"Sorry, it's really not cheap anymore. The capital is here. We can't do a loss business!"

The shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle, and then said, "I heard you just now, are you going to buy this peace lock for Lingtang?"

"yes......"

Sun Chong nodded shyly.

"Let's do this. For your filial piety, I'll give you two more beads, which are also made of high-quality mutton fat jade. They can be strapped on this peace buckle, which will look better. But in terms of price, it's really impossible to be cheap."

The shopkeeper picked up two jade beads that were pierced with holes and showed them to Sun Chong.

"this......"

Sun Chong likes this Ping An buckle very much, but he can't afford it.

Five taels of silver are 5,000 cents!

The military pay he paid for one month to serve in the army was only 300 yuan, five taels of silver, which was almost a year and a half!

Although he could receive 600 quotas a month after becoming the captain of Lin Xu, he hadn't done it for long after all, and his total net worth was not enough.

As for borrowing money from Lin Xu, he was really embarrassed to speak out.

At this time, Lin Xu took out a ingot of five taels of silver and placed it on the table: "We bought it, you can string these two beads."

"Okay! Please sit there and wait. I'll let you make beads! Waiter, look at the tea!"

The shopkeeper took the money in his hand and immediately became even more enthusiastic.

"Sir, I will definitely return these five taels of silver to you in the future!"

Sun Chong said gratefully!

"Okay, Brother Chong, do we still need to distinguish this clearly?"

Lin Xu smiled and patted Sun Chong's arm: "Let's go there and sit down for a cup of tea. After walking around the street for so long, I'm really a little thirsty!"

Sun Chong didn't say anything else, but he was even more grateful to Lin Xu!

Soon, the shopkeeper arranged for people to string peace buckles and beads, and put them in a small bag made of red silk cloth.

"Customer, please take it!"

The shopkeeper respectfully delivered the cloth bag to Sun Chong's hand.

"Thanks!"

Sun Chong's thanks was not only to the shopkeeper, but also to Lin Xu.
