Mrs. Jia, after taking Gu Honglian's satin, didn't even have lunch before taking Gu Ruinian to the pawnshop in town to pawn the satin.
She was afraid if she went late, Mr. Gu would regret it.
This satin was worth more than Gu Honglian had said.
Mrs. Jia demanded six silver coins right from the start, and the pawnshop owner didn't haggle, settling the deal on the spot, leaving Mrs. Jia somewhat regretful, wishing she'd asked for ten instead.
With six silver coins, she gave Ruinian two to buy books, ink, paper, and stone, and spent three hundred coins to buy him roast chicken, meat buns, pig head meat, and meat rice dumplings for a feast.
Mrs. Jia held back her desire and didn't eat any of it, stuffing everything into Ruinian's mouth.
The meat rice dumplings were bought at Taohua Dessert.
