096 Make a bet
Hua Tian replied while calculating the purchasing power of fifty taels in his heart, "You have money in your hands, so naturally this silver ingot is not rare." Since I entered Washington, I haven't seen a few pennies, how can I compare with you? Moreover, this kind of windfall, it is good to have it, how can it be too little. β
In this Great Zhou Dynasty, one or two pieces of silver are considered very valuable.
She asked Lilac, one tael of silver is about equal to more than two thousand yuan in later generations, fifty taels, which is a lot of money.
Now the strong laborers in the town are only 20 yuan a day, and these 50 taels can also build a road.
Seeing Hua Tian calculating, Mother Lan also picked up the pen and used the arithmetic she had learned to lower her head and calculate.
Although she learned arithmetic, her learning time was still short and she was not as proficient as Hua Tian, so she needed to move pen and paper from time to time.
"A strong laborer is about twenty wen a day, and your fifty taels of silver can be used to hire two thousand people to do it a day." Soon, Mama Lan calculated the result.
Hua Tian nodded, "But I can't just hire someone to do the work, there are other expenses." β
Mother Lan was silent beside her and did not answer.
Hua Tian watched the lights flickering, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turned to Mother Lan, and said excitedly, "Mother Lan, you see, Shen Jinyu wants to harm my eldest brother and second brother, and it will be my turn soon." You can't always follow me, why don't you pass on some of my skills? β
She thought that Mother Lan would be full of promises, but who knew that Mother Lan immediately shook her head, "No, I can't pass on your martial arts." β
"Why?" Hua Tian was stunned, "If there is any oath that can't be passed on, you can show me the cheats, and I will practice it myself." β
When Mother Lan heard this, she glared, "Is there any difference in this?" β
Touching his nose, Hua Tian sat up straight and said seriously, "Mother Lan, in fact, I call you mother in my mouth, and I regard you as my master in my heart, after all, my light skills are also passed on by you, and you are also very good to me on weekdays." That'sβ"
"If you don't say it, I understand." Mother Lan sighed, put her hand on Hua Tian's head, and rubbed it gently,
"But I still can't teach you. You are the young lady of the boudoir, and with your wisdom and intelligence, you will definitely be able to marry a good husband and live a happy life in the future. How can I teach you martial arts and let you enter the rivers and lakes? β
Hua Tian wanted to ask what was wrong with the rivers and lakes, but she thought about it again. Mother Lan once said that women in the rivers and lakes are very despised and have a low status.
"I only learned martial arts, and I shouldn't use it in front of outsiders in the future, isn't this okay?"
Mother Lan still shook her head, looking at the oil lamp not far away, stunned.
After a long time, I came back to my senses a little, and then said, "When the time comes, I'm just afraid that I can't help myself." β
Hua Tian was stunned, Mother Lan said this, like a cold wind crying cold dew, indescribable cold and bleak, and there seemed to be years of sadness hidden in it.
"I see."
Hua Tian couldn't bear to ask again. Mother Lan is really good to her and has a sincere friendship. In the face of such a person who thinks about herself, how can she force her again and remind her of her previous unhappiness?
Hearing Hua Tian's words, Mother Lan instantly came back to her senses, her expression changed, and she quickly changed back to the normal old woman's usual appearance, where is there still half a point of sadness?
Looking at Mother Lan, who was like a Sichuan opera changing face, Hua Tian instantly had a feeling that Mother Lan deliberately pretended to deceive herself, but it was quickly extinguished again.
"Will my eldest brother and second brother be?" Hua Tian looked at Mother Lan and asked, if she also had this kind of influence, she was afraid that what she did before would harm them.
Mother Lan shook her head, "In this world, men have always been more tolerant than women. β
That's good, I don't have good intentions to do bad things. Hua Tian pressed half of his heart, thought about it, and looked at Mother Lan again, "For two more days, Mother Lan, you remember to help me buy that mountain forest." β
"Don't you have money? Why do you want to buy it with my money? Mother Lan was surprised.
Hua Tian shook his head, "My windfall is a drop in the bucket, and I will have to put it into use in the future, you can lend me some." β
"What? You mean, you still have to invest a lot of money in that mountain forest? Mother Lan was surprised, although she knew that Hua Tian was going to invest money in it, but she didn't know that she would invest so much.
The fifty taels that Hua Tian stole from Mr. Chu today are actually a lot. But in Hua Tian's mouth, it is only a drop in the bucket, and the amount of investment is too large. Lan's mother said that she was very uncomfortable.
"Well, yes. But, Mother Lan, if you want to believe me, the rewards you will receive in the future will definitely be hundreds of times more than what I have paid! Hua Tian thought about the blueprint that was not very clear in his heart, and said proudly.
The wind blew in from the window, and the light cast a bright and flickering shadow on Hua Tian's face, which seemed to be real and illusory.
As if she had been pointed, Mother Lan looked at Hua Tian with a bright brilliance in her eyes, and was almost burned by the blazing heat that came out of her eyes.
Once, once, I also lived like this, but unfortunately I never came to the end, stopped halfway, and from then on, from now on......
"What, Mother Blue, don't you believe it?" Looking at Mother Lan, who was silent, only looking at herself, Hua Tian asked dissatisfiedly.
"I really don't want to believe it." After a long time, Mother Lan looked away, and a smile rose on her lips, like mockery, and like ruthlessness, "You are so confident, why don't we make a bet." β
"What a bet, you say!" Hua Tian didn't hesitate and asked directly.
Looking at Hua Tian, whose eyes were bright and without a trace of hesitation, Mother Lan said in a deep voice, "I can lend you money and let you do what you want." However, say in advance, if in the future, as you said, the reward is rich, then you win, and you only pay me back. β
"It must be rewarding." Hua Tian said proudly, staring at Mother Lan, waiting for her follow-up.
Mother Lan stared at Hua Tian, "If the return is only more than the silver invested, or less than the silver invested, then you lose, and the silver will be repaid to me according to the interest of one or two silver taels per two days." β
After speaking, Mother Lan looked at Hua Tian seriously, waiting for her to answer.
This interest is extremely scary, it can be said to be harsh, and Hua Tian can refuse it completely.
Looking at Hua Tian, Mother Lan was very conflicted in her heart, on the one hand, she hoped that Hua Tian would agree and really make her own career; On the one hand, he hopes to scare Hua Tian away, after all, not everyone can bear the pain of having their dreams shattered.
"I agree." Hua Tian's words were concise and clear.
Looking at Hua Tian like this, Mother Lan spit out the word "deal" in her throat.
After reaching a preliminary agreement with Mother Lan, Hua Tian practiced another word, and then lay on the bed.
On Hua Chuzhi's side, there has been no news. At this time, there is no news, indicating that there will be no more news tonight.
However, Hua Tian was not worried, but fell asleep with a good mood.
Hua Chuzhi didn't send the letter, it must not be because it was too late, but because she was too frightened!
Why are you frightened? must have discovered Shen Jinyu's spell, that Mr. Chu.
This is exactly the result of Hua Tian's calculations.
Originally, I was going to go to Shuyu Zhai to catch. rape, adding some psychological burden to Shen Jinyu and Gui's mother. ββThat's right, Hua Tian didn't think he would be able to catch it. Rape succeeded. Because she knew that it would never be possible to find it directly, she was just going to make trouble.
But when he saw Hua Chuzhi later, Hua Tian changed his mind.
Let Hua Chuzhi find the man hidden in the closet, and then ask her to dismiss the girl in the nursing home, return to Shuyuzhai to ambush, and break the adultery between Shen Jinyu and Mr. Chu, so as to centrifuge Shen Jinyu, this is Hua Tian's purpose.
She did this because she calculated that Hua Chuzhi was worried about Shen Jinyu, and she would definitely do it. Sure enough, Hua Chuzhi did so.
Shen Jinyu hid Mr. Chu in his room, he was in a hurry, searched for a lot of money and didn't find the lost silver, and was in a hurry to send Mr. Chu away - it was too late, there was no plan to keep Mr. Chu to live, to change his mind and stay with Mr. Chu, there were a lot of arrangements to be made, and Shen Jinyu and Gui's mother would definitely not keep anyone. Therefore, Hua Chuzhi's behavior was very much in line with the wishes of Shen Jinyu and Gui's mother.
Both parties have intentions, so it is a sure thing to dismiss the nursing home and call the girl away.
But Gui's mother would never have thought that Hua Chuzhi would hide near Shen Jinyu's bedroom under Hua Tian's misguidance and instigation.
Hua Tian's guess is that the nursing home and the maid are gone*, and Mr. Chu must come out to complain to Shen Jinyu and say a few words before leaving.
In this way, Hua Chuzhi, who was hiding near the bedroom, must be able to hear it clearly, and found that the man inside was not a thief, but her mother's wild man!
This kind of shocking discovery must have shocked Hua Chuzhi to lose a few souls, and the six gods had no master. In this case, where did she have the heart to reply to the letter?
After sleeping unusually satisfied, Hua Tian got up and freshened up, finished eating breakfast, and took advantage of the time to take Lilac and went to Hua Chuzhi's garden.
When Qin Er led in and saw Hua Chuzhi, Hua Tian was really startled.
Hua Chuzhi's face was white, his eyes were red, his eyelids were swollen, and his eyes turned blue-black.
"Fifth sister, what's wrong with you? I didn't wait for your letter last night, and Liu Niang was worried, so she came over early in the morning. Hua Tian asked with concern.
Hua Chuzhi looked at Hua Tian, remembering the incident he bumped into last night, and couldn't wait to shout and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, where did he have the heart to deal with Hua Tian?
"I'm fine, I, my mother," Speaking of this, Hua Chuzhi's eyes were extremely strange, and even her expression was very unnatural, "She's fine." It's just that I'm overthinking and need to rest for a while. Liuniang, you, you go back. β
Her voice was hoarse, as if she had spoken all night, and her voice had burst out.
"Fifth sister, are you okay?" Hua Tian asked worriedly.
Although Hua Chuzhi is Shen Jinyu's child, she loves to read very much, and she has always been quiet. This has caused her to have a great respect for etiquette and religion, and she loves to bury it in her heart when she encounters problems.
Last night, I broke my mother's adultery with others. Love, this kind of impact is not small, but she can't say it, she can only think about it by herself, she thinks about it a lot, this is thinking about it, and it is most easy to think of illness. R1152
