Chapter 47 Weighing

"Two taels of silver?" Ruan Zhiyuan's eyes lit up.

Ruan Ling leaned towards him and whispered: "Two taels of silver, I can buy another hairpin for my second sister-in-law."

Last time, Hui Niang took out all her dowry and paid it to the witch Wang.

Ruan Ling originally wanted to give her money directly, but after thinking about it, it would be even better to take the opportunity to ask Ruan Zhiyuan to bring a few pilgrims for her and then ask Ruan Zhiyuan to buy a hairpin and give it to her, which would be even better.

Ruan Zhiyuan was indeed moved.

He and Hui Niang are newlyweds, so they had long wanted to buy jewelry for her, but they were too short of money.

"Little sister, where did you get the money?" he asked.

"Selling the rest of Ganoderma lucidum." Ruan Ling said with a smile.

"Okay, you're hiding your own private life."

"What's wrong?" Ruan Ling glanced at him sideways, "If you have the ability, you can hide one."

"…Hmph." Ruan Zhiyuan had nothing to say.

The family did not require their brother and sister to pay the money.

As long as they have the ability to make money, they can keep it for themselves.

Ruan Zhiyuan sat upright and said, "Okay! It's a matter of words! Parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, you all heard it, but you have to be a witness so that you won't be fooled and refuse to admit it."

Ruan Ling said: "When did what I said change?"

Hui Niang said, "Little sister, don't bet with your second brother, he is going to do something bad."

"It's okay." Ruan Ling smiled.

"But, how do you know the weight of Nannan?" Ruan Zhiyuan was worried.

"Isn't this simple? You'll know if you weigh the scale at the Lizheng family?" Chen Shufeng smiled. "Every year after the beginning of autumn, we have to weigh the children in the village. Are we still children? What can't be weighed?"

"Yes, I'll borrow it!" Ruan Zhiyuan pulled his elder brother, "Brother, the wooden scale is very heavy, you can carry it with me."

In the afternoon, the rain gradually stopped. As expected, the two brothers went to Lizheng's house and borrowed a large wooden scale, with one end being a weighing weight and the other end being a large basket.

The ancients generally did not weigh much, and their height and weight were basically measured by visual inspection, but children had to weigh it.

Soon, the two brothers came back with a large wooden scale.

The whole family gathered around.

Ruan Ling felt a little ashamed when she saw this scale.

It’s not Taicheng, nor the scale, but the rod scale!

People should sit in the basket.

What about Cao Chong who agreed to be called an elephant?

After thinking about it, the operation of that method was a bit difficult, Ruan Ling gave up struggling and sat in the basket obediently, asking her brothers to weigh herself.

Ruan Chengde and Jin looked at the stars on the scale at the other end, counting and saying, "Oh, our daughter actually has eighty kilograms!"

Ruan Ling: "!!"

Eighty kilograms?

This is probably a broken scale, right?

According to her own estimate, she is about 1.58 meters tall and weighs 120 to thirty pounds.

At the age of thirteen, he is about the same height, but he is too heavy.

Of course, this is all Ruan Ling examining herself with a modern gaze.

She jumped out of the basket: "Is this scale broken? How could I only be eighty pounds?"

The whole family was laughing crazy.

"Do you think you're 80 kilograms light?" Ruan Zhiyuan pointed at his second sister-in-law, "Look at your second sister-in-law, he's only 60 kilograms!"

Ruan Ling: “…”

Are you kidding me?

She always felt that something was wrong.

"Show me the scale." She ran to the weight on the other end and looked at the stars on the scale rod.

As she looked, she understood.

The ancient units of measurement were different from modern times.

In ancient times, one pound was sixteen taels, unlike in modern times, it was ten taels per pound.
