In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

The two servants who were sent to secretly protect He Qiudi during the banquet and were guarding outside the embroidery studio were scratching their heads at this time. Seeing that He Qiudi was about to suffer a loss, they were thinking about whether they should go in and give her the silver bills.

Du Yueqing only said that He Qiudi and the others were not allowed to leave the Xiufangzhai, but she did not say that others were not allowed to send them money.

So they walked towards the embroidery studio.

There were already customers in the embroidery studio. When they saw Du Yueqing asking others to crawl out of the shop like barking dogs, they all gathered around.

Even passers-by gradually came closer.

He Sanlang ran in and stood in front of He Qiudi: "Whose dog are you? Why are you chasing and biting people? We don't have money, but that's no reason for you to look down on us. Aunt, let's go. Don't bother with this kind of person."

He Qiudi had already been angered by the superior person like Du Yueqing.

The villagers of Shiliu Village still go out early and come back late for a few cents.

But Du Yueqing, the granddaughter of the county magistrate, could casually throw out a hundred-liang silver note to humiliate her and several children.

If Du Yueqing's father, who is the prefect, were to rise further in power, wouldn't Du Yueqing be taking advantage of the power of others and causing trouble for the people?

He Qiudi held He Sanlang's shoulders and moved him aside.

"Sanlang, although you are a man of integrity, you are still just a child. Even if my aunt is in trouble, it is not your turn to protect her."

He Qiudi looked at Du Yueqing and said, "I really don't have a hundred taels of silver..."

Du Yueqing interrupted, "If you don't want to be a barking dog, why don't you just tuck your tail between your legs and get out with your nephew?"

I had seen that He Huaibi was talented and knew some Kung Fu, so I wanted to get to know him.

After all, even my grandfather said that this person would have a bright future if he were given the opportunity.

She even planned to marry He Huaibi after he passed the imperial examination.

She thought He Huaibi was good-looking, so she had some little thoughts about him.

As a result, He Qiudi said that she had ulterior motives and told her sixth brother to stay away from her. He also insulted her in a sarcastic way several times, causing her to embarrass herself in front of other ladies.

But it didn't make her angry to death.

Now that more outstanding people have come to Ningyuan County, who would still look down on a little He Huaibi? She is no longer afraid of falling out with the He family.

Thinking about how he had tolerated He Qiudi and He Qingshu for He Huaibi in the past, he now thought about how to slap them in the face and get back at them.

He Qiudi said, "But if I can come up with something that is worth a hundred taels of silver, what will happen then?"

Du Yueqing's mouth twitched: "Okay. As long as you can take out a hundred taels of silver worth of gold, silver and jewelry. But I have to make it clear first, except for the cloth in your hand, you and He Qingshu can't wear anything on your head or on your body. It can only be gold, silver and jewelry."

Since we have the "pearl", it will be easy.

"You said it. All the gold, silver and jewelry count. However, if I can produce gold, silver and jewelry worth a hundred taels, you lose. I don't want you to work like a slave for me. I want you to crawl out of this store and bark like a dog three times when you see me."

Du Yueqing snorted coldly, "It's a deal. Shopkeeper, come and be my witness. If any of us is dissatisfied, you can spread this matter to your customers. Let the whole city know that someone has no money and refuses to admit her loss! I wonder if she dares to come out again in the future."

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said with an apologetic smile: "I understand."

Even if he didn't bear witness, the commotion caused by Du Yueqing would have attracted most of the onlookers in the market.

If you want to default on your debt, you can.

But it is definitely a big embarrassment to the person.

Du Yueqing looked at He Qingshu again: "He Qingshu, can your aunt be your master? If you don't want to gamble, you can admit defeat now."

He Qingshu bit her lip, looking at the crowd of onlookers, feeling anxious. She pulled He Qiudi's sleeve, bit her lip, and whispered, "Aunt, why don't we just go."

Du Yueqing smiled proudly.

As long as He Qingshu and He Qiudi bowed their heads and admitted defeat to her in front of so many people, all the grievances she had felt before would be avenged!

He Qiudi pulled back her sleeves, and in front of He Qingshu's surprised eyes, the expectant eyes of the onlookers, and the nervous eyes of the two servants, she took out a palm-sized cloth bag from her lapel, put it on the counter, and pushed it to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, you are very knowledgeable, so please help me see if these pearls are worth a hundred taels of silver."

The shopkeeper reached out and touched the cloth bag. He felt the Dongzhu inside through the cloth and was shocked.

He didn't even dare to pick up the cloth bag. He took the tray next to him, carefully picked up the cloth bag with both hands and placed it on the red soft cloth on the tray. Then he opened the cloth bag and gently took it away.

Inside were six light golden oriental pearls, each the size of a thumb, crystal clear, round and elegant, with a golden luster.

When the shopkeeper touched the Dongzhu pearls, he knew that they were worth a fortune.

Dongzhu is easy to obtain.

But it is extremely rare to find one this big, this round, this gilded color, and this uniform size.

Especially the color of this Dongzhu is not the common ivory white, but the rare flowing gold.

Such a large golden pearl, inlaid on a hairpin, can serve as a finishing touch and increase the overall value of the hairpin.

Just one such oriental pearl could be worth a hundred silver coins, or even more.

He Qiudi took out six, and I'm afraid the price would be far more than six hundred taels of silver.

This is the same as the price of a complete set of antique porcelain.

If there is a set of six extremely expensive vases, and someone only has one vase, he might only be able to sell it for ten or eight taels of silver, but if he can get a complete set of vases, it may be worth a thousand taels of silver.

The value of jewelry made of a Dongzhu pearl is limited, but a Dongzhu pearl this big is worth at least a hundred taels of silver.

But if these six oriental pearls were matched with smaller oriental pearls to make a large crown or head ornament, it would be worth a fortune.

Everyone present showed an expression of extreme shock.

Du Yueqing was not an ignorant woman who had never seen good things. After seeing the six Dongzhu, she knew that she had lost.

Her eyes were fixed on the Dongzhu, as if she wanted to stare a hole in the six Dongzhu.

The shopkeeper looked at He Qiudi for a second longer.

Before he came to Ningyuan County, he had traveled all over the country with his boss and had seen all kinds of good things.

Such Oriental pearls are only possessed by royal relatives and a few large families. It is difficult for ordinary people to find a pair of Oriental pearls, let alone take out six at once.

I’m afraid that this young lady from the He family has had some great opportunity.

After taking another careful look at He Qiudi's appearance, the shopkeeper became even more certain of this.

He said calmly, "My dear ladies, I cannot tell the exact price of these six pearls. But I can guarantee that the price of these six pearls is far more than one hundred taels of silver."

As he said this, the shopkeeper put the six oriental pearls into a cloth bag and respectfully returned it to He Qiudi.

"Young lady from the He family, these things are valuable, please keep them safe."

He Qiudi: “…”

Oh, Huo, the shopkeeper really knows what he is doing.

Even honorifics were used.

But Du Yueqing refused to do it.

"What kind of broken bead is this? How can it be so valuable? I don't believe it!"

As she said this, she wanted to deny it.

Oh wow.

Du Yueqing lost the bet and couldn't deny the debt.

"Oh, oh." The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped her, "Madam Du, Madam Du, please be careful. If you break the pearl, it will be hard for you to pay for it."

Du Yueqing was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood: "What did you say?! I can't afford to pay for this Dongzhu?!"
