Beside them, Zhao Liulang said, "Stop wondering, I know why. It's because you are rich. Everyone knows the spices, gems, and jade your niece has been selling in the capital recently were brought back from the Western Regions by you guys."
Bai Shan said, "Didn't you also take a share?"
Zhao Liulang replied, "How much did I get? And the amount of spices I could sell was just a tiny bit."
Manbao said, "Hey, with the money you gave us, we bought you quite a lot of tourmalines and crystals, and also spices and pearls."
Zhao Liulang sighed, "Don't mention it. As soon as I got home, I quietly gave some to my wife and mom. By the next day, all my sisters-in-law knew about it. They all asked for some, and I couldn't say no. In the end, even the pearls were kept by my wife, saying she needed them to make hairpins for my daughter."
