章節 752: Chapter 753: Lamentation

Yang Chuxia's daily tea costs over a hundred taels of silver per pound, while she couldn't even dream of affording that considering her brother's meager salary. If they were to buy tea like that, their entire household would go hungry and thirsty.

She had originally hoped to be selected this time, but in the end she was eliminated. She begged her brother to find a solution, but it was useless.

This made her even more inferior to Yang Chuxia. She heard that Ye Zi'an was going to take the Recommended Man exam this time. If he succeeded, Yang Chuxia would not only be a merchant's wife but a government official's wife. And what about her? Her own marriage prospects were uncertain, and most importantly, she was two years older than Yang Chuxia.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. When Yang Chuxia walked in, she saw the coral pearl flower hairpin on Yang Chuxia's head and the pearl necklace around her chest. The pearls were even finer than the ones she was wearing.
