Ye Xipo looked at the impulsive and happy expressions of the four "strangers" and nodded lightly, especially when he saw his "father" Ye Kun, who was not yet thirty years old, he was aging like an old man over half a hundred years old at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart.

Then, Ye Xipo came to Qian Tong in a few steps, and said with anger: "Qian Steward, please go back, come back in 20 days, and 20 taels of gold will definitely be presented in full." ”

Qian Tong came back to his senses, but the previous rampant and complacent momentum had long since disappeared due to Fang Cai's stunnedness, so he had to say: "Xiao Langjun is fine, it's okay to be fine......

Turning his head and saying to the four brothers Ye Ren and Ye Kun: "Remember, twenty taels of gold, I will come to get it in twenty days." ”

After speaking, he fled out of the hall, and it was not until he walked out of the courtyard of the Ye family that Qian Tong grew a kiss, but he was depressed in his heart, and said secretly: "Strange, what are you afraid of, it's just a streamer, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”

But then he thought of the cold and cold, hateful eyes, Qian Tong immediately became a spirit, scolded, took the attendant, and rode away.

"Third brother, you've woken up."

The little girl who woke up ran out with a cry, and cried as soon as she threw herself into Ye Xipo's arms.

The little girl's name is Ye Xin, she is Ye Xipo's own sister, and the girl in the family ranks seventh, so her nickname is Xiao Qi; Although Ye Xipo is Ye Xin's eldest brother, he ranks third among cousins, so he is called the third brother by her.

Ye Xipo picked up the little girl, touched her somewhat yellow hair dotingly, and the two beloved double sideburns, and said softly: "Little Qi, don't cry, isn't the third brother all right?" ”

It took a while for Ye Xin to stop her tears, stretched out her little hand and touched Ye Xipo's forehead, and then touched her forehead, and then broke into a smile and said: "It's really good, you're scared of Xiao Qi to death!" ”

Ye Xipo smiled, and couldn't help pinching her little baby fat face, and then put her down, and said, "Little Qi, let's go outside to play first, and inform A-Niang that I have woken up." ”

After Xiao Qi left, the four brothers Ye Kun and Ye Ren surrounded them again, and repeatedly confirmed that Ye Xipo was really fine, so they sat down separately.

Ye Xipo asked: "Uncle, Aya, didn't Sun Sima only need five taels of gold before, why did he suddenly ask for twenty taels this year?" ”

Ye Ren sighed and kissed: "People are swords, I am fish and meat, our lives are pinched in his hands, isn't it what he wants?"

In the past, you may have to worry about the face of the Feng family and the Xian family, only five taels; Now that the imperial court is obviously going to start with the Feng family and the Xian family, they have no scruples. ”

After a pause, Ye Ren said again; "San Lang, you shouldn't have allowed him twenty taels, this time he allowed twenty taels, and next time I don't know how to make it difficult?"

The corners of Ye Xipo's mouth showed a wry smile of impossibility: "Uncle, you also said that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, this Sun Sima is clearly trying to blackmail us, is it not allowed?" ”

Ye Ren was speechless, the situation was silent for a while, thinking of his family's experience and current situation, the four brothers couldn't help but feel sad and angry.

Ye Xipo was not sad and angry, but his mood was equally complicated, he was a little happy, he had a second life in nine deaths, and he was thirteen years younger, which was a great thing.

At the same time, he was a little depressed, and the depression was due to the fact that the young man Ye Xipo he crossed had an extremely aggrieved life experience and a difficult situation.

But he also has another identity, that is, a wanderer, exiled to Lingnan, guarded by local officials, and slightly better than a prisoner.

It's just that this time, no matter how much he wants to save face, he can't let go of his majesty, so he can only reach out and ask Feng and Xian for it.

The four of them couldn't shake their heads, exchanged a look, and looked at Ye Xipo together to say something.

At this time, Ye Xipo also came back to his senses, but he didn't notice that the four of them seemed to have something to say to him, and hesitated and said: "Uncle, maybe I have a way to earn these seventeen taels of gold, let's not ask Uncle and Feng Yuanjun for them to borrow." ”

Ye Xipo knew that they were unwilling to ask the Feng family and the Xian family for money, and even if they asked for money, they would not ask for more, and the family life would still be very miserable.

Therefore, Ye Xipo wanted to make money by himself, first deal with the problem of seventeen taels of gold, and then make money so that he and his family could live a better life.

Ye Xipo's words suddenly made Ye Ren and the four of them look stunned, and looked at the somewhat rusty Ye Xipo in front of them with a surprised face, the person is still that person, but whether it is temperament or eyes, there are earth-shaking changes.

In the past, Ye Xipo was certainly the smartest and most sensible child in the family since he was a child, he was filial to his parents and younger generations, he was friendly to his brothers and sisters, and he was very spiritual.

But this Ye Xipo in front of him, his appearance is still handsome and handsome, his eyes are still clear, but there is a little more perseverance and anger in his eyes, and his demeanor is completely different when he speaks.

This one feels very strange, and I feel that this Ye Xipo seems to have suddenly changed into a person, just like ...... It's like becoming an adult.

Ye Ren was stunned for a moment, swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth, and asked, "What can you do?" Seventeen taels of gold, together is one hundred and twenty yuan, one hundred and twenty thousand yuan, twenty days, where to make so much money? ”

There are three currencies in Datang, copper coins, silk silk, and gold, and the exchange ratio is different from place to place. For example, gold can only be exchanged for 4,000 copper coins at the lowest time, and 8,000 yuan at the highest.

But in the past few years in Lingnan, one tael of gold is worth seven thousand copper coins, that is, seven guan, seventeen taels of gold is one hundred and nineteen guan, and copper coins are exchanged for gold and gold and have to pay a handling fee to gold and silverware shops, so Ye Ren said that it will cost one hundred and twenty guan together.

Ye Xipo smiled bitterly in his heart, he respected the four brothers' defense of majesty, and he himself wanted to live with dignity and live better, but how to tell them? How can you say it so as not to scare them?

After thinking for a while, Ye Xipo said: "Uncle, I have a way, but I haven't thought about it yet, and I'll tell you when I think about it."

Aren't there twenty days left? In this way, give me three days, if I can't think of a good way, let the second uncle and Aya ask Feng Yuanjun and Uncle to borrow them. ”

The four brothers noticed that Ye Xipo seemed to be a different person, and they were about to interrogate, when the rest of the family knew that Ye Xipo had woken up, and they all ran in to visit Ye Xipo.

Ye Xipo looked at the relatives in his life one by one, stepmother Shi, aunt Murong, Feng, aunt He, eldest brother Ye Xi, second brother Ye Zuo, fourth brother Ye Yuan, and sixth brother Ye Xiang.
