"What good things do you want?" Ji Qingwen said, "I just want to inquire, can you redeem so much silver in this building?" ”

"Redemption is exchangeable...... However, we are engaged in the business of the courtyard, not the opening of a money bank, a pawnshop, and the matter of exchanging silver, and asking this master to change places. "Turtle replied with some pity.

The corners of Ji Qingwen's mouth raised, and he said, "Lao Tzu, I want to exchange silver on your side today!" ”

"Then you're always a little unreasonable, aren't you......"

"Humph! Listen up! Ji Qingwen said, "This 1,000 taels of silver ticket, I only exchanged 800 taels of silver from your store." I ask you, are you doing this business or not? ”

The turtle gasped and hurriedly asked, "You're not always joking with villains, are you?" Outside here, it's two hundred taels of snowflake silver! ”

"I don't need you to settle accounts for me or save me money. I'll just ask you, do you do this business! With that, Ji Qingwen stuffed the silver ticket into the hand of the turtle prince.

This turtle took the silver ticket, carefully looked at it, and saw that this silver ticket whether it is paper, engraving, ink, or charge, there is no flaw, it is indeed a genuine silver ticket issued by the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, no matter where it goes, it can be exchanged for a thousand taels of silver!

So the turtle didn't take much effort, so he made up his mind and said, "Gotcha! For the sake of your old face, today the villain went to intercede with the old bustard, even if the old bustard refused to let go, the villain I will pay out of my own pocket, and I will give you eight hundred taels of silver. ”

The words in the mouth of this turtle man are beautiful, but the abacus in his heart is even more beautiful. He had already calculated that as long as he exchanged more than eight hundred taels of silver with this silver ticket of one thousand taels, wouldn't the excess money fall into his pocket?

However, this old bustard is not stupid, so it is easy to say that he only took out nine hundred taels of silver, and only let this turtle man get the benefit of one hundred taels - but this one hundred taels is not a small amount, enough for a well-off family in the capital to spend comfortably for several years.

Therefore, this turtle man carried eight hundred taels - that is, fifty catties - silver ingots, silver ingots, and silver bars, and ran to Ji Qingwen happily, and said with a smile, "This lord, the silver has been redeemed, and the villain doesn't know how many good words he has lost!" Here are eight hundred taels of silver, one tael is a lot, if you don't believe it, the villain will give you a silver scale......"

Ji Qingwen waved his hand and said, "No need! ”

With that, he took out a silver ingot of about ten taels from the turtle prince's arms, held it in his hand, and threw it into the street. Immediately afterwards he picked up another silver ingot and threw it out in the same way.

As soon as Ji Qingwen threw it like this, the already bustling Shaanxi Alley suddenly exploded, and immediately there were seven or eight sharp-eyed ones, chasing the constantly rolling yuan

Treasures and silver ingots competed with each other.

Seeing this, the turtle prince was also anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing, this master?" That's silver! It's not a stone, it's gone! ”

Ji Qingwen said with a smile, "My money, if it's gone, it's gone, it's a pity that it's not your turn to do it for me." ”

How can this turtle not be a pity?

A full eight hundred taels of silver, he doesn't know how many bows a day, how many good words he asks, how many laughs he loses, and he may not be able to earn these eight hundred taels of silver after twenty or thirty years of hard work. But how can it be a pity that this dazzling, tempting, and precious eight hundred taels of silver is being discarded casually by this guy opposite?

If it is tempting to feel pity, some people will naturally feel happy.

These idlers who were waiting in line outside the "Yuhua Pavilion" to go in to have a glimpse of Chen Yuanyuan's demeanor, as soon as they saw someone throwing silver, they immediately left Chen Yuanyuan's matter behind, and one by one they bowed their heads and bent down and began to pick up the silver on the ground, and most of the seventy or eighty people who were originally in line suddenly dispersed.

And Ji Qingwen was still throwing the silver, and throwing the silver farther and farther, throwing it more and more away, these greedy goods saw the silver, just like a wild dog that had been hungry for ten days saw a bone, and ran away in the direction of the silver's flight. A few of them were so disrespectful to each other that they drew their fists and fought because they had a crush on a piece of silver at the same time.

When Ji Qingwen scattered all the eight hundred taels of silver, there were no more people left who were originally crowded in front of the "Yuhua Pavilion".

The turtle man had no silver in his hand, and he was even more stunned when he saw this scene, thinking, "This master's money is spent in the wrong place." If you sincerely want to benefit me, why should you give these eight hundred taels for nothing...... No, a thousand taels of silver? ”

Wu Sangui also felt a pity, and said, "Lord Ji, although your method of spending money is refreshing, this thousand taels is not a small amount, it is the cost of dozens of family soldiers for a year!" ”

Ji Qingwen now has an income of two or three million taels of silver a year, and in addition to expenses, there is still about one million taels left, which is not enough for him to take to heart, so he waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay General Wu, do you know how much money I spent on ransom for my eldest wife Liu Ru?" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head blankly, "I don't know." ”

"Hey, hey! It cost me 300,000 taels of silver......" Ji Qingwen said with a smile, "Now I only spend 1,000 taels to let General Wu and Chen Yuanyuan meet, it's worth it!" ”

After that, Ji Qingwen turned his head and said to the turtle father, "See, right? The queue is all gone, can we go in now? ”

When the turtle man heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "This master, what did you just say?" Can you say that again to the villain? ”

"Lao Tzu asked you, no one is queuing up now,

Naturally, no one will cut the line, so I can always go in now, right? Ji Qingwen asked rhetorically.

"No, no, the little one asked about Liu Ruyi. You said, you always ransomed Liu Ru is girl's body? Turtle Gong asked.

"yes, what's wrong?" Ji Qingwen's tone was full of contempt.

The turtle couldn't help but slap himself in the mouth, and scolded, "I said that when I got up this morning, why did the villain's mouth stink, it turned out that I was blinded by eating last night, and I didn't even recognize you, Suzhou Weaving Admiral Ji!" I heard that you have recently been named an earl by the Lord of Long Live Lord, that is Lord Ji, this status, this identity, is to pluck the hair at will, and it is thicker than the waist of the villain. Just now, the villain offended a lot, and he caused the lord to lose a thousand taels of silver in vain, so please don't be surprised! ”

"Huh." Ji Qingwen sneered, "The loss is in the Jingshi." If you put it in Nanjing or Suzhou, like you kid who has no eyesight, I don't teach you a lesson, and you yourself will be beaten to death by the old bustard sooner or later. What kind of person is I, Ji Qingwen, who actually asked me to line up, I'm really blind! ”

"Yes, yes, yes. It's the villain who is blind. The turtle prince immediately said in a continuous voice, "What else are you talking about!" Please come in, order two side dishes first, and after eating and drinking for a while, our round girl will come out to play the pipa for you! ”

Ji Qingwen nodded, and was just about to step inside, then turned back and instructed, "Hey, I said, today I brought my brother to have fun together, not to handle official business, let alone to lead troops to fight, don't make a noise, do you understand?" ”

The turtle man nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, understood." We do business in Jingshi, how can we not even understand this truth? You should always put your heart in your stomach. ”

Ji Qingwen followed Gui Gong into the atrium of the "Yuhua Pavilion", and saw that although the building was newly built, it was not very wide, and the atrium was only a few zhang long and wide, and a small platform and a few sets of chairs could not sit down.

Therefore, the old bustard who runs this courtyard has the ingenuity to dismantle the partitions of the single rooms on the second floor and make a second atrium across the floor, so that the visitors sitting upstairs can look down on the situation downstairs.

Ji Qingwen came a little late, and the atrium of the Yuhua Pavilion was already full of people, so the turtle prince led Ji Qingwen and Wu Sangui to the second floor and sat down on the stage on the ground floor.

Along the way, Ji Qingwen saw a lot of familiar faces, most of them were big or small officials in the imperial court, and a few of them were the so-called "righteous gentlemen" who claimed to be the Donglin Party - I didn't expect that these ordinary people who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality would also come to this Yuhua Pavilion today to join Ji Qingwen.

However, Ji Qingwen didn't come openly today, so he didn't want to say hello to them more, so he lowered his head and sat down with a smile, and talked to Wu Sangui without a word.
