Chapter 578 - Asking for an Estimate (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Fan Changfeng was embarrassed for a moment when he saw that His Royal Highness the Consul was actually seriously considering the valuation of "compensation".
How much is the life of His Highness the Archon worth?
At least, it can be worth a hundred and ten cities.
To put it mildly, the entire Tianzheng Empire......
But how could it be possible to compensate her the entire empire just because of this fisherwoman's effort?!
Even if you lose a hundred cities, you can't do it!
Of course, if it is said that Lord Fan's psychological price is more than 100 taels of silver, His Royal Highness the Archon will definitely turn his face.
His Royal Highness is only worth such a little silver, how embarrassing it is to say it?!
So these words could not be spoken in front of the amber and indifferent eyes of His Highness the Consul.
In a hurry, Fan Changfeng thought about it and whispered: "Your Highness, how much silver is worth, I don't count if I say it, I have to say it to the girl." ”
"You mean, that Sheng Liuli girl?" Xie Xianyan glanced at the thatched house, chewed the three words "Sheng Liuli" on the side of his mouth, and actually felt that it tasted good, so he said comfortably: "It's okay, ask her." ”
Fan Changfeng walked in front with a smile and raised his voice: "Is Miss Sheng at home?" ”
Ying Sleeve heard someone calling her outside in the house, and when she turned her head, it was actually Lord Fan and His Royal Highness the Archon who were the head of the Ministry of Supervision and came again.
She had just made a big statement in front of her three younger brothers, saying that she could get compensation from His Royal Highness the Consul, but she didn't expect people to come soon......
Does this mean that the mouth is about to be punched?
Yingsleeve's face was a little red, but he still stood up with a smile. Welcome out and bless, "Lord Fan, Your Highness." ”
Fan Changfeng nodded, "Your Highness and I have something to come to visit." By the way, see how you're doing. In the past two days, if someone is difficult for you, don't be afraid, report it to the official immediately. ”
Ying Sleeve smiled, bowed again, and said, "Thank you Lord Fan, I will remember." "I looked at His Royal Highness the Archon standing behind Fan Changfeng again." Would you like to go in and sit down? ”
Fan Changfeng looked back at Xie Xianyan.
Xie Yanyan nodded casually, "Naturally, I want to sit." With that, he strode in.
Ying Sleeves was stunned. He hurriedly followed, and said embarrassedly: "The thatched hut is narrow, and the nobles are neglected." ”
Fan Changfeng followed and walked in, raising his eyes to look around. Very poor and cramped house indeed. Fortunately, it was cleaned up and there was no place where you couldn't put your feet.
When such a big figure came to this small fisherman's thatched hut, the fifth brother Sheng and the sixth brother Sheng were completely frightened, sitting on the stool, not daring to move.
Only the little seventh brother Sheng didn't know how to be afraid at all, and took advantage of the fact that no one cared about him, grabbed the little hedgehog A consortium into a small ball, and rolled and played on the ground in the house.
Ah Cai is rolling and rolling. Rolled to Xie Yanyan's feet and stopped.
As if feeling a powerful aura, Ah Cai couldn't move. He only curled up tightly and shivered.
Ying Sleeve caught a glimpse of Ah Cai's strange appearance, her heart moved, and she hurriedly walked to Xie Xianyan's side, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, my Ah Cai is naughty, don't be surprised." As he spoke, he squatted down and bent over, reaching out to reach for Ah Cai.
A straight, slender, cleanly trimmed hand lifted the little hedgehog ball that Ah Cai had curled up before her.
"Is this your beast cub?" Xie Yanyan sniffed the little hedgehog Ah Cai, "It has a gluttonous breath on it." ”
Yingsleeve choked.
Ah Cai was born in the gluttonous belly of his mother, so it's not surprising that he is contaminated with gluttonous breath, right?
“…… It's not a ferocious cub, it's a little hedgehog. Its mother was eaten by gluttony, and it was born in the belly of gluttony. I killed the glutton, broke open its belly, and saved it and its mother. Ying Sleeve recounted the situation, and pointed to the small grave in the corner of the courtyard outside the door, "It is buried there." ”
Xie Xianyan's gaze moved to the small grave pile on the side of the courtyard wall outside the door and stayed for a while, and then looked at the little hedgehog Ah Cai that he was carrying in his hand, and finally let go of his finger for a while.
Smack!
The little hedgehog Ah Cai fell to the ground all of a sudden.
But instead of being broken, it rolled on the ground in high spirits, let go of its curled limbs, and staggered out, and went to its mother's grave to be crushed.
Fan Changfeng laughed beside him and said, "Miss Sheng, this is one of our intentions today. ”
"What's the point?"
"We want to know, where do you get your inner breath?" Although Xie Xianyan said that Sheng Liuli was not an evolutionary, Sheng Liuli suddenly changed from an ordinary fisherman's girl to a kung fu powerhouse with the same internal breath as the middle and upper class people of their clan, who could kill gluttonous cubs and fight with them, which made him a little uneasy.
If he didn't figure it out, he couldn't sleep.
"Uh......" Yingsleeve's eyes rolled quickly, thinking of some excuse to prevaricate the matter.
Her rolling gaze happened to meet Xie Xianyan, and when she saw the other party's amber clear eyes, as well as the look of having no desire for everything in the world, Yingsleeve's heart moved, and she said tentatively: "...... I don't know much about it. It was on that day that after rescuing His Royal Highness the Archon from the Liuli River, he ...... It's not the same as before. ”
"Oh? You mean, you only have this kind of internal breath after you have a skin-to-skin relationship with Your Highness?! Fan Changfeng's eyes lit up, if this was the reason, it would make perfect sense.
Ying sleeves were embarrassed, and he waved his hand and said: "It's not a skin kiss!" There is no skin-to-skin kiss! It's ferry! It's just a ferrule! As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Xie Yanyan, for fear that he would refute her.
Xie Yanyan didn't have any expression, and when he saw this girl peeking at him, he nodded and said, "Maybe it's okay." ”
Fan Changfeng: What do you mean by "......"? !
But thinking that His Royal Highness the Archon had forgotten about being rescued from falling into the water, and completely relied on his "sense of smell" to find out the truth at that time, Fan Changfeng felt that he couldn't be more demanding.
So be it.
With the guarantee of His Royal Highness the Consul, he went back and gave an account to the two important ministers of the Senate and the other seven heads of the Council.
Ying Sleeve quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
His Royal Highness, the Consul, is not an unreasonable person.
Her impression of him. It's quietly much better.
The most disturbing thing in his heart was solved, and Fan Changfeng remembered another thing he had just said at the gate of the courtyard.
He smiled and said, "There is one more thing, I hope Miss Sheng can do me a favor." ”
"What do you need my help with?" Yingsleeve Fox asked. After all, their identities are too far apart, and Ying Sleeve can't think of anything she can do to help them.
"That's right." Fan Changfeng glanced at Xie Xianyan with a smile, turned his eyes away, and moved to Ying's sleeve, "Miss Sheng saved our Royal Highness the Consul, and we also said that we would compensate Miss Sheng for this." We just wanted to ask, Miss Sheng thinks. The girl saved the life of our Archon, how much is it worth? You make a price, and we will give it according to the price. ”
Ying sleeves were stunned.
She was even very aggressive about this matter just now, blocking the mouths of her two younger brothers. I didn't expect people to come to the door to deliver money in a blink of an eye.
Although I felt that the timing was a little more coincidental, I ...... Don't give the money to your door in vain!
Ying Sleeve pondered twice, and was about to speak, when he saw that Sixth Brother Sheng had come back to his senses. shouted loudly, "...... One hundred taels! A hundred taels of silver! ”
In the opinion of Sixth Brother Sheng. Ten taels of silver is already a huge amount of money, and one hundred taels is simply money that I can't count!
Fifth Brother Sheng scolded the sixth brother in his heart for being unreliable, such a big official as His Royal Highness the Archon, only one hundred taels?! It's really uninsightful!
“…… He knows a fart! - Two hundred taels! Two hundred taels is enough! Fifth Brother Sheng glanced at Sixth Brother Sheng, and continued to open his mouth.
Ying Sleeve's face turned redder and redder as he listened.
One hundred taels, two hundred taels, is this the price of His Royal Highness, the Supreme Archon of the Empire?
These two younger brothers are really ......
Yingsleeve sighed in her heart, and at the same time, she felt very sorry for these two children. smiled and raised his eyes to glance at Xie Yanyan.
Seeing him look at himself, his eyes were clear. Like the blue sky of autumn, as far as the eye can see, there is neither contempt nor disdain, nor attention and coveting, and in his eyes, he is probably no different from the beams and pillars in this house.
"Is it really two hundred taels so much?" Fan Changfeng joked with the two children.
"Two hundred taels is a lot?!" Fifth Brother Sheng was taken aback, "Or, one hundred and fifty taels?" ”
Yingsleeve couldn't bear to look at the two younger brothers again, and spit out a number: "One thousand taels, no two prices." ”
"Fourth sister!"
"Fourth sister!"
Fifth Brother Sheng and Sixth Brother Sheng looked at Ying Sleeve in surprise and joy.
It's my sister!
Look at the price code......
One thousand taels of silver, enough for a family of eight in the Tianzheng Empire to live comfortably for a hundred years.
Of course, if you can't live a luxurious life, if you are well-off, there will be no problem for a hundred years.
At this price, Ying Sleeve thinks it is quite fair.
This is still the initial impression she got from Xia Yun in the past few days.
Fan Changfeng restrained his smile, glanced at Yingsleeve deeply, and nodded: "One thousand taels of silver in exchange for the life of our Highness, we earned it, thank you Miss Sheng for your kindness." ”
"One thousand taels of silver, did you agree?" Fifth Brother Sheng and Sixth Brother Sheng asked nervously, sweating in their palms, for fear that the other party would regret it again.
After all, they have no possibility to threaten each other, and it is entirely up to each other's conscience......
"Of course. Tomorrow the money will be delivered. Fan Changfeng paused, and said: "However, if a thousand taels of silver are sent, you can't put it in this house, and besides, your wealth is not exposed." There are only women and children in your family, and it is not safe to keep such a large amount of silver at home. ”
This is also true.
Fifth Brother Sheng and Sixth Brother Sheng have long been sensible, and they also know that Fan Changfeng is right.
The two of them touched their heads and muttered for a while, then said to Fan Changfeng: "Or, let's make a list, and you can help us exchange this thousand taels of silver for a dowry and carry it directly to Village Chief Xia, okay?" So that there is no fear of thieves stealing, nor of thieves' concerns. ”
Moreover, it was pointed out that it was Sheng Liuli's dowry, and the people of the Xia Village Chief's family dared to be greedy, even Lord Fan would not let them go!
Seeing the good calculations of the two brothers, and the heart of spending a lot of money for his sister's marriage, Fan Changfeng was very moved, and muttered: "This is okay." - What do you see, Your Highness? Still tentatively asked Xie Yanyan's opinion.
Ying Sleeve didn't wait for Xie Yanyan to answer, and immediately said, "No." Master Fan, this money can't be spent like this. ”
She never thought of marrying into the Xia family, so there was no need to mention the dowry.
Xie Yanyan didn't speak, he glanced at Yingsleeve, and a green light flashed under his eyes.
"Can't spend like that?" Fan Changfeng nodded, "Then what do you want?" ”
"Well, you can help us build a big house." Yingsleeve pondered, "My three younger brothers will marry and have children in the future, and the place is too small to live." This big house should have at least three courtyards, one for each younger brother, and everyone should live together, without being too crowded or separated. ”
"That's easy to do." Fan Changfeng nodded, and quickly estimated it in his heart, "In this place in Xiajia Village, it costs less than one hundred taels of silver to enter the mansion seven times, plus furniture and interiors, it is two hundred taels for a full dozen." ”
Yingsleeve nodded, "For the remaining eight hundred taels, you help us save six hundred taels of silver to the bank, and two hundred taels for a younger brother in the future." and two hundred taels of silver, let us live. ”
Then their lives will be better.
The three younger brothers were able to go to school instead of fishing.
Fan Changfeng felt that this was very good, so he glanced at Xie Xianyan again and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”
"You've all decided, ask me what to do?" Xie Xianyan's indifferent handsome face was not obvious, and he brushed his sleeves away with his back hand.
Fan Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly picked up his robe and chased out.
Seeing that the two of them were far away, Fifth Brother Sheng and Sixth Brother Sheng exhaled, clapped their hands and smiled: "Ouch! What is an auspicious day today? Someone actually came to deliver silver! ”
asked Yingsleeve again: "Fourth sister, why don't you change it to a dowry?" The dowry of 1,000 taels of silver, Guan Bao told the shallow mothers-in-law of the Xia Village Chief's family to drop their jaws! ”
Ying Sleeve shook his head with a smile, and nodded vigorously on the foreheads of Fifth Brother Sheng and Sixth Brother Sheng: "Are you stupid?" If you don't spend your own money, you want to send it to someone else's house? What's wrong? Watching others spend their own money is more energetic than spending their own money? ”
Fifth Brother Sheng and Sixth Brother Sheng grinned, seeing that their sister didn't insist, in their hearts, the idea that the sister took was naturally more appropriate than theirs, so they took Sheng Sixth Brother to wash with confidence, blew out the lights and went back to their own room to sleep.
Yingsleeve put the clothes of his three younger brothers in a wooden barrel and carried them to the river to wash.
It was already dark, and all I could see was fireflies flying around by the river, and large purple water lilies blooming in the middle of the water under the moonlight, shrouded in a light veil-like mist, beautiful as a dream.
Yingsleeve was in a good mood, she smiled and hummed a little song, while holding a mallet, began to beat her clothes.
It wasn't long before she noticed that there seemed to be a person standing under a large tree not far away.
Silently, she hadn't noticed it at all.
It was only when she poured out the water in the laundry bucket that there was a ripple in the river, and she saw the reflection in the river, and realized that there was a man standing there.
"Who? Who's there? Yingsleeve turned around and asked in a deep voice with a mallet, not too afraid.
The man walked out from behind the tree, and it was actually His Royal Highness the Archon Xie Xianyan.
Ying Sleeve was surprised, slowly put down the mallet, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's so late, what are you doing here?" ”
"My life is only worth a thousand taels of silver in your heart?" Xie Yanyan asked lightly, it sounded like an understatement, but in fact, this question had been haunting him in the depths of his heart, like a fish in his throat, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.
