The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 855 - Chapter 855 Chapter 855 No Need to Change

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: No Need to Change Chapter 855: Chapter 855: No Need to Change Today, she hadn’t eaten dinner yet as she was waiting for Gu Ya to come back! Her stomach was really hungry, so it was more important to fill herself up first.

Su Yunjin reached for some dishes and saw the gold leaves on the table, not knowing yet how much a single gold leaf was worth. Su Yunjin planned to ask Gu Ya.

“Husband,” she said, “by the way, do you know how much these gold leaves are worth?” Each gold leaf was thin and not heavy, but they were especially shiny.

The leaves were also beautifully made.

Su Yunjin hoped these gold leaves would be worth a bit more.

When it came to the gold leaves, the young wife hadn’t yet revealed the reason Old Princess Consort gave them to her. Before Gu Ya answered the young wife’s question,

he first asked her the reason.

The Old Princess Consort had a simple reason for gifting her the gold leaves, and there was no reason not to tell, so Su Yunjin directly told Gu Ya, “Husband, actually, today I went to see the Princess Consort Rui for a consultation. Just by chance, I heard that the Old Princess Consort’s appetite was poor, and Princess Consort Rui asked me to think if there was any way to improve the Old Princess Consort’s appetite. I made a few appetizing dishes and a bowl of mixed noodles for the Old Princess Consort, and after eating, her appetite improved. Pleased, she rewarded me with these things.”

Su Yunjin pointed at the dinner dishes she and Gu Ya were having tonight and casually said, “Husband, you see? The food I prepared for the Old Princess Consort today is similar to what we have on our table tonight.”

Gu Ya looked down and before he hadn’t noticed, but after his little wife mentioned it, he then realized that all the dishes on the table were cool and appetizing. Su Yunjin was concerned about the value of the gold leaves.

She urged Gu Ya in a hurry.

“Husband, quickly tell me, how much is each gold leaf worth?” The price of the gold leaves was determined by their size and weight.

The larger and heavier the gold leaf, the higher the price. The gold leaves the young wife put on the table were all thin. And not heavy.

So the price was not high.

Gu Ya was pondering when Su Yunjin leaned forward and waved the gold leaf in front of him, her eyes shining with the look of a little money-grubber making an appearance again, “Husband, can we exchange these gold leaves for silver?” The last time Princess Consort Rui rewarded her with a Jade Hairpin, it was a precious royal item and couldn’t be exchanged for money.

So this kind of gold leaf could be exchanged for money, right?

Su Yunjin was gleefully thinking.

If it could be exchanged.

Then she would exchange all these gold leaves for silver notes for use.

What’s the point of having gold leaves lying around that you can neither admire nor eat?

And exchanging them for silver would be useful and practical.

“Yunjin, one of these gold leaves is worth about twenty to thirty taels of silver each. They can be exchanged for money.” Gold leaves were commonly used by the nobility to reward servants who had done well. Such items were normal and could indeed be exchanged for silver.

But there was no need for that.

The gold leaves themselves could be used as silver. There was no need to exchange them for more silver.

Twenty to thirty taels of silver?

Su Yunjin examined the gold leaves in her hand; could such a thin little piece really be worth twenty to thirty taels of silver? If it was indeed the case, then the Old Princess Consort had given her a handful of gold leaves today. Adding it up, that should be several hundred taels of silver, right?

A surge of delight.

Since it could be exchanged for money,

Su Yunjin planned to find time to go to the bank and change the gold leaves into silver notes, but Gu Ya whispered in her ear that there was no need, “Yunjin, these gold leaves, you can use them directly as silver outside, no need to exchange them for silver or copper coins.”

They could be used directly as silver?

Su Yunjin was somewhat surprised.

Gu Ya nodded, “Yes, they can be used directly as silver.” If they could be used directly as silver, then there was indeed no need for her to exchange them into silver.
