After the Gu family’s mule carriage had gone for a while, Gu Fei saw a silver shop on the street and hurriedly called Gu Qing: “Brother, stop for a moment, I’m going to the silver shop to take a look.”

Mrs. Chen looked at the silver shop and nodded: “I have to buy some jewelry. It’s not good for a girl at this age to have no accessories.”

Gu Fei turned around: “Mom, I’m not buying jewelry, I’m just going to take a look.”

With only this little money in her hand, how could she dare to buy jewelry? She had other purposes in the silver shop.

Several women got out of the car and entered the silver shop.

The waiter in the shop saw people coming in and quickly looked at them. They were all wearing brand-new clothes. The clothes were not good, but not bad either.

It was the level of ordinary people in Ping’an City.

This kind of family likes to buy some silver hairpins, silver bracelets, or some jewelry made of low-grade jade.

The staff smiled and walked forward: “Ladies and young ladies, please come this way. Our store has just received a batch of newly made silver hairpins with novel styles. They are both luxurious and beautiful to wear when visiting relatives and friends during the New Year.”

Gu Fei smiled and said: “I don’t want silver hairpins. Do you have beads in your store? I want to see some beads.”

The staff still smiled, “Miss, do you want to buy pearl flowers? Or just buy beads and set them with jewelry yourself?”

“I want to see pearls.” Gu Fei said straightforwardly.

“Please come this way, ladies.” The staff led Gu Fei and the others into a small door next to them and saw several wooden tables inside. The tables were divided into many small grids, and each small grid had a pearl flower, and some were single pearls.

The staff saw that Mrs. Chen and Lian’er were staring at the pearls, and he knew that they must have never seen them before.

Gu Fei saw a white bead necklace. Each pearl was about one centimeter in diameter, had a good luster, was almost the same size, and was relatively round. The price was four thousand five hundred taels of silver.

The staff next to him saw Gu Fei looking at the pearl necklace and said: “This pearl necklace has a total of 108 beads. It was not easy to get them of similar size and color, so the price is a little higher.”

He smiled and said: “This is how pearls are. The valuable one is worth a thousand gold.”

“Of course, the ones with poor appearance and small size are naturally not valuable. They are sold by tael. The smallest rice pearl is only a few taels of silver, which is not valuable.”

“There are four words to choose pearls: bright, round, big, and colorful.”

He pointed to a white pearl and said: “This pearl is almost a perfectly round shape and not small. What’s rare is that the luster is particularly good, but it is not even eight points. As the saying goes, seven points of pearls and eight points of treasures. If this pearl is a little bigger, it will not be this price. It will be at least 1,000 taels.”

Gu Fei took a look and saw that the white pearl was priced at five hundred taels.

Looking at the side, there was a pearl with a diameter of more than one centimeter. It looks big, slightly larger than lotus seeds, with a light pink color, and a price tag of two thousand taels.

She was excited when she saw it and asked the waiter: “Do you also collect pearls here?”

The waiter nodded: “Of course we do, but the price we collect and the price we sell are still different.”

Gu Fei understood that it would be cheaper to collect it than the marked price, otherwise, there would be no profit, so why sell it?

After a round, Gu Fei had an idea of ​​the price of pearls.

Mrs. Chen didn’t know what Gu Fei meant. Seeing her daughter’s plain head, she watched Gu Fei walk away, called the staff, reluctantly spent ten taels of silver, and bought a pair of beads strung with small pearls.

Mrs. Chen thought that the money was earned by her daughter. Now that the family has a house to live in and a piece of land, life can be lived, so she should let her daughter dress up beautifully.
