Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 1156 - 1066: The Female Chancellor (Part 4)

Chapter 1156: Chapter 1066: The Female Chancellor (Part 4)

Yin Zheng and Mrs. Wang both had sharp minds. They were only captivated for a moment before both came to their senses and immediately understood Shuangshuang’s intentions.

Especially Yin Zheng, who had spent many winters working outside to earn medicine money for his daughter. Over the years, he had seen the lifestyles of many wealthy families and had broadened his perspective greatly.

This thing is so beautiful, and with his daughter’s craftsmanship, it is even more exquisite than the golden hairpins he had seen women from wealthy families wear while working in the county.

With such skill, selling one of these hairpins for two taels of silver is definitely reasonable. It’s only because they lack fame that they can’t fetch a good price. If these things were made by a master craftsperson, it wouldn’t be outrageous to sell each for several dozen taels of silver.

If all these hairpins can be sold, it would be a significant income. Just thinking about how much these hairpins could sell for, and how his daughter can continue to make and sell them in the future, it’s an enterprise that could easily make over a hundred taels of silver each time.

Yin Zheng and Mrs. Wang thought that if there was truly such a significant income, their first reaction was that their daughter would never have to worry about money for medicine again.

"Our Shuangshuang is amazing. Look at how this hairpin is made. I’ve never seen such a beautiful hairpin in my life."

Mrs. Wang carefully picked up a magpie perched on a branch hairpin, her face full of joy and pride.

Seeing how much Mrs. Wang liked the hairpin, Shuangshuang took it from her hands and placed it in her hair bun.

"Mother, if you like it, wear it. It’s all made by your daughter, and it didn’t cost much.

I’ll think of a good design in a couple of days and make a whole set of headpieces for you. Once these hairpins are sold and exchanged for money, I’ll buy you a nice outfit and make your hair into a beautiful bun.

A nice outfit paired with a complete set of headpieces, mother, you’ll look even better than those noblewomen when dressed up."

Mrs. Wang was coaxed into laughter, raising her hand to adjust the hairpin in her bun, looking at Yin Zheng with a hint of shyness, "My husband, do you think I look good wearing this hairpin?"

Mrs. Wang wasn’t unattractive, though she couldn’t rival Mrs. Feng, she was considerately delicate. Now paired with a beautiful hairpin, her appearance dramatically improved.

Yin Zheng stared in admiration, nodding repeatedly, "My wife, you look beautiful, this hairpin is just perfect for you."

Mrs. Wang was so amused by Yin Zheng and Shuangshuang that she wouldn’t stop smiling, taking out a blurry copper mirror to look at herself from different angles for quite a while.

After indulging herself, Mrs. Wang still carefully removed the hairpin, placed it in the compartment with some reluctance, and touched it, saying to Shuangshuang, "This hairpin should be sold. I’ve had my fun."

"They’re all made by your daughter, not costing much. If mother likes it, wear it. It’s just a matter of spending a couple more days to make another."

Shuangshuang tried to persuade Mrs. Wang, seeing her face full of reluctance.

Mrs. Wang sighed, looking at Shuangshuang with a loving expression, "Mother loves it, but now the whole family lives together. Even if mother likes it, I can’t wear it outside.

The hairpin you made is so exquisite, more refined easily than those golden hairpins sold in jewelry stores. Anyone who sees it will know that these hairpins can yield a lot of money.

If your grandpa and grandma see it, no matter how many hairpins you make, they would fill the bottomless pit that is your third uncle’s family.

We should quietly make a fortune. You make these hairpins, and then secretly have your father take them to sell in town. The money we exchange it for should be hidden; having actual benefits is true, outward appearances don’t matter."

Yin Zheng also nodded repeatedly on the side, feeling very satisfied with Mrs. Wang’s cleverness. She was definitely a worthy wife he had pursued and married, equally clever as him.

Getting the actual benefit is the real deal; outward appearances aren’t important. Only people with skills have the right to seek appearances; sacrificing substance for appearances when one cannot stand on their own is foolish.

But Mrs. Wang’s thinking is still simple. Yin Zheng very seriously said to Shuangshuang, "What your mother said is right, but only selling hairpins to the town is not enough.

Your grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunts often go to town sometimes.

When we sell the hairpins, they will definitely cause a stir once sold, and from now until the time we deliver the hairpins, as time passes, it might expose the truth.

Once the truth is exposed, it could easily be discovered by family, and then trouble will come.

The best way is for me to find an opportunity to go to the county, take all these hairpins, and then sell in the county.

There are many wealthy people and a lot of comings and goings in the county, hairpins will definitely sell better than in the town.

Moreover, our family doesn’t go to the county even once every few years, the exposure likelihood is minimal, just right for us to quietly make money."

In fact, upon hearing Mrs. Wang saying to sell the hairpins to the town, Shuangshuang had already thought of this problem.

Just now, Shuangshuang was thinking about reminding her parents not to sell them in town, being too close would easily expose the truth, when Yin Zheng had already thought of this issue.

Shuangshuang couldn’t help but admire. Her father had a sharp mind and broad vision and had secretly gone to the school to attend the class and knew three to four hundred characters.

These characters weren’t taught by the teacher, Yin Zheng learned them by eavesdropping, memorizing by dead rote.

In her previous life, while Shuangshuang was bedridden, Yin Zheng taught all the characters he knew to Shuangshuang.

Although Yin Zheng didn’t know many characters, his handwriting was very good, showing how sharp and clever his mind was.

Shuangshuang considered Old Master Yin and Mrs. Zhao probably were blind, leaving her father, such a smart son, without allowing him to study, instead letting her third uncle, the fool who couldn’t even pass the child student examination after more than ten years of study, go to school.

With these thoughts, Shuangshuang couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked, "Father, why, with a mind like yours, didn’t you insist with grandpa and grandma to go to school?

My third uncle is so foolish, studying so many years without even passing the child student exam. If father had gone to school, now you could have been a scholar or even a scholar decree holder."

Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Yin Zheng’s facial expression stiffened slightly and revealed a hint of melancholy, couldn’t help but sigh and gently patted Shuangshuang’s head without saying anything.

Shuangshuang was a bit taken aback, never before in both lifetimes had she seen such a melancholic expression on Yin Zheng’s face.

This made Shuangshuang feel a bit uneasy, thinking perhaps she had unintentionally touched upon Yin Zheng’s sorrow with her words. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Mrs. Wang, noticing her husband’s melancholic expression, also couldn’t help but sigh, explaining to Shuangshuang, "Your father didn’t want not to study, it was your grandpa and grandma who forbade him. Initially, your father secretly watched lessons at school, learned several hundred characters.

The teacher found out and valued your father’s talent, wanting to accept him as a student, even waiving the tuition.

But your third uncle found out, came home and cried and shouted, making a scene, forbidding your father to study. Your grandpa and grandma immediately sent your father to town to become an apprentice, cutting off your father’s path to study."
