Yun Jiao's eyes twinkled, unable to resist teasing Ruru, she said, "My medicine isn't cheap."
"The formula is my exclusive secret recipe, and it uses very precious herbs. Oh, and the medicine is wrapped in gold foil."
Ruru's eyes widened, "How much silver does that cost?"
Yun Jiao held up one finger, "It would cost at least ten thousand taels of gold."
Ruru gasped, "Oh my, that much!"
After a while, Ruru tugged at Yun Jiao's clothes, "Sister-in-law, can't you just knock off a little bit of the price?"
"I've been to Brother Hang's house, and it doesn't look like they have much money. There's not much decoration in his room either."
Yun Jiao found it amusing. A family like Grand Tutor Xie's naturally wouldn't have their home filled with gold and jade like some nouveau riche. The Xie family had been an official family for generations, so their foundation was certainly solid.
