"A total of fifty-eight jin," after some fuss, the assistant reported a number.
"Five-eight sounds like 'prosperous'..." Even the number was auspicious, today is destined to make her rich. Hua Jin laughed with delight, a peculiar gleam passing through her eyes.
Hua Chengtian, who stood up, noticed this and then sat back down, feeling that his daughter's smile seemed a bit mysterious, as if she was holding back something big, so he decided to wait a little longer.
He trusted his daughter to be willing to spend a little money to buy a few stones, but if it's hundreds of silver coins to buy a stone, then he was really at ease. The child liked to buy things but wasn't wasteful and wouldn't just hand over her hard-earned silver coins to others.
Thinking this, Hua Chengtian felt even more at ease and decided to wait.
Then he saw the shopkeeper take the abacus handed over by the assistant, and after a flurry of calculations, "four hundred and six taels" was reported as the amount.
