Chapter Twenty-Seven: No Heavy Gifts
Seeing the tray full of dragon coins, Zhu Yun's eyes were about to fly out, a hundred dragon coins, he had never seen so much money in his life. The adrenal secretion accelerated, and he couldn't help but swallow vigorously.
Liu Xiu was also a little stunned, he was not from a big family, he was just an ordinary teenager farming in the countryside, and when he suddenly saw this lot of money, if he could still handle it calmly, it would not be realistic.
However, Liu Xiu is a person with a bottom line, he should be his own, he will not shirk it, not his own, and he will not be too greedy.
He took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, looked at Ye Tian, and said, "Ye Gong, I have made it very clear just now, saving Miss Ye is the duty of our rebels, and there is no need for compensation. What's more, Ye Gong helped me and others properly settle those abducted women, which has made the younger generation grateful. ”
Ye Tian looked at Liu Xiu and had to look at the young man in front of him with admiration.
If he only said that he would be paid, and Liu Xiu didn't want it, it would be relatively easy to do, but now that he has put so much money in front of him, as long as he nods his head, he can take it away at any time, and he can still refuse, which is not something ordinary people can do, which requires strong self-control.
Liu Xiu stood up and said, "Ye Gong, I came this time mainly to thank Ye Gong, and I also hope that Ye Gong will help people to the end, send those women home as soon as possible, and let them reunite with their families." ”
As he spoke, Liu Xiu's gaze no longer glanced at the dragon coin.
Seeing that Liu Xiu was sincere and did not intend to accept the money, Ye Tian admired his character from the bottom of his heart.
You must know that most of the people in the rebel army are running for money, and people like Liu Xiu can be called a clear stream in the rebel army.
He waved his hand to the butler, who bowed down and retreated with the tray, and before going out, he also took a special look at Liu Xiu.
Ye Tian Zhengse said: "Liu Gongzi rest assured, Ye will definitely arrange someone to escort them home safely." ”
"Thank you, Ye Gong."
"Young Master Liu, please take a seat! Ye's remuneration, Liu Gongzi does not accept it, Ye's meal, Liu Gongzi will not not eat it, right? Ye Tian asked happily.
Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Then bother Ye Gong!" As he spoke, he bowed.
Ye Tian laughed, and after Liu Xiu sat down again, he asked in a brisk tone, "Where is Liu Gongzi from?" ”
"Nanyang Caiyang people!"
Watching Liu Xiu and Ye Tian chatting about family life, the two talked and laughed, and Zhu Yun, who was sitting on the side, almost stared at Liu Xiu with his eyes.
300,000 bucks! That's 300,000 dollars! You just push it out like this, without blinking your eyes, how big your heart is! Can you still sit here and talk and laugh, and still have an appetite to eat?
Now Zhu Yun really has the urge to open Liu Xiu's head and see if it is human brain or paste.
In the backyard of Yefu, in the pavilion, there are a woman and two men sitting. The woman is Ye Qingqiu, and the two men are her two elder brothers. As they spoke, a young man hurried over.
Seeing this, the two men asked in unison, "Third, how is it?" ”
With a sad face, the young man sat down on the stone bench of the pavilion, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "Confiscate! ”
Hearing this, the two men showed a look of surprise, but Ye Qingqiu smiled, and said with bright eyes: "How is it?" I knew that Liu Gongzi would definitely not accept his father's honorarium! ”
The older man pointed at Ye Qingqiu's head, and said angrily and funny: "You've only known people for a few days, as if you've known them for several years!" ”
Ye Qingqiu was blushing by him, stood up, and said: "Liu Gongzi is not a greedy person, and Liu Gongzi's character is much stronger than many people who read poetry and books!" ”
After speaking, she ran back to her boudoir, leaving the three young men looking at each other.
"What the little sister said doesn't mean us, right?"
“……”
There was a sudden silence in the pavilion.
Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, and Zhu Yun stayed in Yefu for a meal, and this meal can be regarded as the most sumptuous meal that Liu Xiu and Zhu Yun have ever eaten, of course, including Long Yuan.
Of course, the diet of the Hou Mansion of Guangqi will not be worse than that of the Ye Mansion, but it is for the master to eat, and as a domestic slave, Long Yuan, his diet in the Hou Mansion is also very average.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that Liu Xiu and the three got up to say goodbye to Ye Tian.
When Ye Tian sent Liu Xiu out of the house, he didn't forget to remind him that if he was not used to living in the camp of the righteous army outside the city, he could come to live in the city, and as for where to live, he didn't have to worry about it at all, Ye Fu would help him arrange it.
However, Liu Xiu still declined Ye Tian's kindness, as a member of the rebel army, it was impossible for him to leave the barracks and go to live in the place arranged by the Ye family, not to mention that he didn't think that he would stay in the county for too long.
Don't pass Ye Khotan, out of the gate of Ye Mansion, Zhu Yun finally didn't have to endure it anymore, and said: "Ah Xiu, that's 300,000 yuan, how can you say don't want it?" ”
Liu Xiu said: "Brother Yun, this money is not what we should have taken in the first place!" ”
"What do you mean you shouldn't take it? You saved Ye Fu's daughter, and Ye Fu took out 300,000 yuan as a reward, which was originally deserved! ”
Liu Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Zi said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. ”
Zhu Yun rolled his eyes and said in a puff: "I see that you are really stupid at reading, you have been studying Taixue for three years, and you don't even know the money, what's the use of reading so many books?!" ”
Liu Xiu smiled silently. No sooner had they taken than a woman ran up and stopped the carriage. Liu Xiu opened the curtain and looked out, and it was actually the maid next to Ye Qingqiu, Man'er, who stopped the carriage.
Seeing Liu Xiu, Man'er gave a salute and said, "Young Master Liu, please stay, my young lady is waiting for you over there." As she spoke, Man'er pointed to the side door of the Ye Mansion.
Outside the side gate is a small alley, black and rumbling, and it is not clear from a distance. Liu Xiu explained a few words to Long Yuan and Zhu Yun, then jumped out of the carriage and followed Man'er into the alley.
Outside the side door of the Ye Mansion, it was indeed Ye Qingqiu standing there. Compared with when she was in distress, she is now completely new, wearing a pale yellow dress, and the whole person looks smart, cute, and much brighter.
Liu Xiu walked up to Ye Qingqiu and asked curiously, "Miss Ye has something to do with me?" ”
Ye Qingqiu didn't speak immediately, but looked at Man'er, who walked into the side door playfully and closed the courtyard door lightly.
Without Man'er present, Ye Qingqiu was a lot more relaxed, she looked at Liu Xiu with some complaints, and asked, "Why do you still call me Miss Ye?" ”
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then changed her words and said, "Miss Qingqiu." ”
Ye Qingqiu pursed the corners of his lips helplessly and said, "Ah Xiu, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my father!" ”
Liu Xiu looked at her puzzled and asked, "Why do you apologize?" ”
"My dad shouldn't have rewarded you."
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Miss Qingqiu is too careful, and Ye Gong is willing to give 300,000 yuan as a reward, which also shows that Ye Gong attaches great importance to Miss Qingqiu." ”
Ye Qingqiu was silent for a moment and asked, "Ah Xiu, how long will you stay in the county town?" ”
Liu Xiu shook his head, he still has to stay for a few days, he doesn't know very well, the key depends on the situation of the war in Yizhou.
He suddenly remembered something and said, "Miss Qingqiu can remind Ye Gong that in the recent period, the family can reserve more food." ”
Ye Qingqiu asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”
Liu Xiuzheng said: "A large group of barbarians has been found near the county town, and once the barbarians attack the county town, the county town will be completely closed." "At that time, if you want to buy food, you will have nowhere to buy it if you have money.
Ye Qingqiu's face was shocked, nodded to Liu Xiu again and again, and said, "I'll inform my father later!" ”
Liu Xiu smiled at her and said, "Miss Qingqiu, it's not early, I have to go back too, say goodbye!" ”
Ye Qingqiu still wanted to keep Liu Xiu, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, so he could only watch him turn around and walk out of the alley.
When he returned to the carriage, Zhu Yun also looked into the alley a few times, and then he pulled Liu Xiu's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Ah Xiu, has Miss Ye taken a fancy to you?" ”
Liu Xiu's face was dazed, and after a while, he burst out laughing, shook his head and said, "How is it possible?!" ”
"And what did she just do with you?"
"It's nothing, just a few small talks." Seeing that Zhu Yun was still going to ask questions, Liu Xiu closed his eyes, lay down in the car, and said, "Brother Yun, I'll sleep first, and then call me when I get to the barracks." ”
When Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, and Zhu Yun returned to the barracks, Liu Xuan had already been back for a long time. Seeing Liu Xiu and the others coming in from outside, he asked casually, "Ah Xiu, did you go to Ye Mansion to see Ye Gong?" ”
"See."
"How's the conversation?"
"Not bad."
Zhu Yun answered: "Of course it's good, Ye Gong took out 300,000 yuan as a reward and wanted to give it to Ah Xiu, but Ah Xiu refused." ”
300,000 bucks?! Liu Xuan was also taken aback when he heard this, he knew that the Ye family was rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich, and it would be 300,000 yuan as soon as he made a move! He looked at Liu Xiu with a smile and asked, "Why doesn't Ah Xiu?" ”
Liu Xiu said: "We are a righteous army, seeing that the people are in danger and are hijacked by the barbarians, how can we care who the people who are kidnapped are, even if it is not Ye Qingqiu at that time, we will also save people." ”
It's originally the duty, and if you do what you do, how can you be embarrassed to take other people's money?
Although Liu Xuan also felt that it was a pity that the younger brother refused 300,000 yuan, since it was Ah Xiu's own decision, he had nothing to say.
He said proudly: "If you don't ask for it, you don't want it, it's no big deal!" Man, big husband, when you stand up to the sky, what you want, you rely on your own hands to take and rob, why bother to accept other people's alms?! ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he smiled, this is the character of the eldest brother. He walked to the table and saw a map on it, and he asked, "Big brother, where is this map?" ”
"Qianyou Mountain!"
"Qianyou Mountain?"
"The commander has decided that early tomorrow morning, he will personally command the 8,000 county troops and go to Qianyou Mountain to exterminate the barbarians in the mountain, and our department will also go with him."
Liu Xiu gasped, and Zhengse said: "Didn't Brother Gongsun say that the barbarian soldiers hidden in Qianyou Mountain are probably far more than five hundred? ”
