"September, who tied this bead to my neck?" Hua Shangxue asked, and the first feeling was that September should know the origin of this thing.

"This is what Yu Gongzi gave to Miss before leaving, and the slave watched Yu Gongzi put it on to Miss with his own eyes. According to what the slave can see, Yu Gongzi treats Miss very ordinary, and he really likes Miss when he thinks so. ”

Hua Shangxue tilted her head and looked at September, could it be because Yu Miying left someone to protect her, so September had a good impression of him because of this, and would say good things for him?

"Miss, what are you doing watching your minions like this? Could it be that the minion said the wrong thing? September asked puzzled.

"It's just a little unexpected, and you'll say good things for Yu Miying."

"Miss, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yu Gongzi treats you differently, if you are not concerned about Miss's safety, how can you deliberately leave someone to protect Miss. Not to mention that Miss acted so impulsively before, how did Yu Gongzi get angry that Miss didn't care for herself, if not, you can ask Min'er a few and ask them, in their eyes, how Yu Gongzi treats Miss. "September is very reasonable, and if Hua Shangxue doesn't believe it, he will really find someone to confront him, but it makes Hua Shangxue a little weak-hearted.

"I'm hungry."

In September, he knew that the snow was evading, but he didn't break it, he said what he should say, and the most important thing was the decision to spend the snow.

watched her master hide all kinds of things, but secretly thought about everything for Hua Shangxue, so that she didn't have any worries.

Looking at the master's struggle, the only thing September can do is this.

The days of the Snow Garden, since the incident of the closed moon lake on that day. Everything has slowly returned to calm.

The flower house on the opposite side seems to have given up the idea of getting closer to the snow garden, and has never taken the initiative to come to the door to curry favor.

Hua Shangxue, who didn't want to have too much to do with Huafu, saw that the other party gave up this idea, but he couldn't wait to see it.

In the blink of an eye, after March, the news of the war at the border pass came intermittently, and the battle at the Zhentian Pass where Yun Jinze was located was stalemate.

The announcement of the national conscription also reached Xijing City during this month.

The things mentioned by Bai Yulin back then were confirmed this year, and there is a provision in the regulations on conscription that men who meet the conscription requirements in their families can be allowed not to participate. But. You need to pay a certain amount of silver taels every month.

Five taels for one person, one hundred taels for twenty people, and the conscription also included male slaves in the family.

Rich people naturally don't care about this, since they can afford to support people. Naturally, they can afford to pay for it.

Not to mention. Five taels per person are counted according to the head. Even if you are a dignified young master, it is five taels.

A young master is only worth ten taels of silver, which sounds uncomfortable. But if you add a servant, the amount of silver sounds much more comfortable, and it has a bit of face.

After reading that notice, Hua Shangxue had to admire the shrewdness of Brother Ren who drew up this conscription condition.

Fighting a war is fighting for money, and if it is supported by the country's treasury alone, how can it last long.

With those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have thousands of dollars to raise the country's army to fight the enemy country, the staying power can be imagined.

And the most important point is that this money is not a one-time payment, but a monthly payment.

If you want to spend no money, you can get out.

If you don't want the male in the family to go to the battlefield, you can take the money.

It's as simple as that.

Thinking of the business of Jiang's noodle restaurant in Sixi Town, there are not many men in the family, and when she left, she didn't take away too much silver, even if there is no business to do, it is not a problem to persist for a few years.

In this regard, Hua Shangxue is not worried.

The announcement came, and soon after, the snow park ushered in the conscripts.

Some people volunteered to serve as soldiers in order to make meritorious contributions, and some people spent money to eliminate disasters in order to survive.

It was impossible for the people of the Snow Garden to be expropriated, so they spent thirty-five taels of silver and left seven numbered signs, which corresponded to the lives of the people and the place where they were located.

Every month, they go to the military payment offices set up in the yamen within the prescribed time to pay the silver taels, and as long as they have not paid for more than three consecutive months, unless the person dies, the person will be taken away and sent to the border gate.

Xijing City is still like this, and other places can be imagined.

Although there is no guarantee that there will be a private pocket, at least at the beginning, the person in charge of such a place did not dare to mess around.

In addition to the conscription, another more eye-catching thing should be the fact that Hua Xiaolan, the young lady of Huafu, is about to marry the young master of the Zheng family on the sixth day of the first month of next month.

Zheng Guangtang has seen it before, a somewhat inexplicable guy.

It's not enough to say that you hate it, and it's even more impossible to like it.

I just think this person is very troublesome.

It's best not to have too much to do with him.

The understanding of the Zheng family is only limited to the word "rich", and there is no other idea.

There is no shortage of money to spend on the snow, and everyone in the snow garden is also very satisfied with the peaceful days in front of them, and whether the Zheng family has money or not has nothing to do with them.

However, it is such a relationship that can't be beaten, but on such a sensitive day, this Young Master Zheng actually came to the door.

"Listen to the people below, Zheng Gongzi wants to see me?" In the living room, Min'er stood behind Hua Shangxue with tea, and Hua Shangxue broke the peace in front of her by opening her mouth.

"Exactly." Zheng Guangtang deserves to be refreshed.

"Then I don't know that Zheng Gongzi came to visit on purpose, and he asked to see him in such a secretive dress, I don't know why?" Hua Shangxue's eyes fell on Zheng Guangtang's black gauze pocket on the coffee table, and he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Help?"

Hanayuki couldn't help but smile.

"How can my little girl help you? I don't want as much money as your family, or I don't have as much money as your family, and I'm not as good as you everywhere, what can I do to help Zheng Gongzi? ”

"Of course I know that. The things I asked you to help with have nothing to do with power and money, but just for you as a person. Zheng Guangtang responded, looking at Hua Shangxue's eyes with a serious look.

Hua Shangxue couldn't help but smile, only to feel that the arrival of Zheng Guangtang had not become very simple because of this sentence.

"How can I help you? Does Zheng Gongzi think too highly of me? Hua Shangxue said lightly.

"If you promise to help, you can do it. As for the reward, I can give you ten shops to earn money, and there is also a Zhuangzi field worth 500,000 yuan. ”

Hua Shangxue's eyebrows couldn't help twitching a few times, and said with a smile: "Ten money-making shops, Zhuangzi fertile land worth 500,000 yuan, this is not a small amount, Zheng Gongzi is really generous." ”

"As long as you promise, these will be yours, and you don't have to worry that I will regret it, as long as you promise to help, you will immediately give everything I promised, and you will never owe it." Zheng Guangtang replied, as if these things were nothing in his opinion.

I thought that the hundreds of thousands of taels in the money village were already quite a large amount, but now it seems that it is not as good as what Zheng Guangtang casually promised.

Hua Shangxue suddenly felt that his concept of ancient money and silver seemed to be very inadequate.

Maybe it was because he was young and worried about a few taels of silver, and even his horizons became smaller.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver may seem a lot to her, but in the eyes of a rich person like Zheng Guangtang, it may be just a drop in the bucket.

Hua Shangxue couldn't help but smile.

"Zheng Gongzi's reward is really exciting, but I have always known that what you want to gain must pay the corresponding price. If Zheng Gongzi tells me what you want me to help with, I'll consider it and see if it's worth it? ”

Zheng Guangtang frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by the calm performance of the snow.

"What I want you to do is nothing compared to what I pay you, and you will definitely not lose."

"Zheng Gongzi, this is not good. If you don't say what you want to do, I really can't agree to your request like this, even if the conditions you give really make me very excited, I can only refuse you helplessly. Hua Shangxue sighed softly and looked at him with a look of regret.

Zheng Guangtang pursed his lips, looked directly at Hua Shangxue's eyes not to be outdone, hesitated for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Min'er and the others, the meaning was self-evident.

"Miss, the slave maid and the others will leave first." Min'er opened her mouth and blessed her body, and took Fu'er and the three of them out of the living room first.

Now in this living room, only Hua Shangxue, Zheng Guangtang and his entourage are left, and there is a September who has never thought of leaving.

Zheng Guangtang glanced at September, but he didn't say anything, Zhilu Dao September is the housekeeper of the Snow Garden, and he is also the person who has been following the flowers on the snow, this Zhilu Dao He will not chew the root of his tongue, but he has never asked him to leave again.

"Now there are only four of us left in this hall, Zheng Gongzi has something to say, and it is difficult for me to promise you anything if you continue to hide it."

"Then I'll tell you the truth. I would like to ask the young lady to help me in a big play, and when it is done, everything I promised before will be your reward. ”

"Acting in a big drama? Interesting. But I don't know what kind of track Lu Dao is, so that you are willing to pay such a big price in exchange. ”

"I believe that the marriage between Huafu and the Zheng family should be clear to Miss."

Hua Shangxue nodded, this matter is no longer a secret, but it can be regarded as one of the biggest excitement in Quyang Lu's generation, how could she not know.

"Hua Jinxiang is not a simple man, with his hard work in just a few months to be able to climb to the Xiao Mansion, and then spend a year to merge the Xiao family into his Hua family, the achievement of today's Hua Mansion, all the Xiao family business in the past is under his control, over the years with his means but to win a lot of shops, firmly in his hands, it is not too much to make money every day."

"Although it is not easy to spend Jinxiang, it is good to make money every day, but when it comes to making money, his foundation is still weak, and it cannot be compared with your Zheng family at all, your eldest young master praises him like this, it shouldn't be as simple as you say." Hua Shangxue smiled, but she was not in a hurry, she wanted to hear what Zheng Guangtang wanted to say, so she had to hold Hua Jinxiang so high at the beginning. (To be continued......)
