The hairpin is made of rosewood, and the carving isn't particularly exquisite; no one would buy such a hairpin.
The pawnshop would give at most ten copper coins.
This price truly shocked Princess Yinchuan, "Why is it only worth ten copper coins?"
"What else did you think it would be worth?" The pawnshop assistant was a bit displeased.
"How could it be worth less than a thousand taels?" Princess Yinchuan said.
Her father's calligraphy and paintings, no matter how ugly, were worth that much.
A personally carved wooden hairpin was even more precious.
Unfortunately, the pawnshop assistant didn't know the background of this wooden hairpin; even ten copper coins seemed too expensive to him, fearing the Shopkeeper's reprimand.
He pondered how to change his mind, but then she demanded a thousand taels, so the assistant pointed at himself and asked, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"
Princess Yinchuan frowned.
