After returning to her small house, she quietly told Mrs. Wang about the sale of the Ten Brocade Sparrow for 600 taels of silver, expressing her intention of using this fortune to buy farmland.
Mrs. Wang almost dropped her jaw in shock. "Good heavens! Do the rich not see money as money? Giving so much silver for just a bird?"
Chen Afu chuckled, "So I heard, our Dashun dynasty doesn't have this type of bird. There are only two Ten Brocade Sparrows in the imperial palace, and they were gifts from barbarians. This is the third one, of course, it is expensive. Besides, the wealthy folks adore these flower and bird items. Premium plants can even fetch thousands of taels of silver. It's what they call elegance."
