Su Wenyue was holding two sets of Clothes in her hand at this time when Grandma Chen came in, she teased, "Grandma has been out so long, have you made a lot of silver? Want to share some with us?"
"Madam, don't tease this old servant like this, this is a reward from Madam Yao." Grandma Chen knew that her mistress was joking, but she still took out the pouch that Mrs. Yao Qin had given her, which contained half a tael of broken silver.
The amount was hardly generous considering she was the wife of an official, and especially since the silver was given to Grandma Chen who served so closely next to the mistress. One would not expect too much, but two or three taels of silver at the least should have been given; yet this was only half a tael, not even a full one.
