Chapter 302: Half a tael to buy a needle

"What? You say you buy a needle for half a tael of silver? How much savings do you have, dare to be so extravagant! Yahuan Ju'er knew that Mrs. had already mentioned her marriage to Gao Bai in front of her, and she had long regarded herself as Gao Bai's head of the family, and she was anxious when she heard his words. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Gao Bai hurriedly covered Ju'er's mouth again and said, "I said that I told you to be soft, so everyone has to know?" ”

Ju'er said, "I won't shout, you say." ”

Although Cui's did something to Guo Beifeng's letter, she was still not at ease. At that time, the two of them forgot what was cut down in a hurry.

After Lirong came back from the Baiyang River with Gao Jun, Cui Shi looked at Lirong and read the letter again, becoming more and more uncertain.

They rummaged through the house and did not find the letterhead, and when they looked at the expressions of the people in the house, there was no change in their expressions, and they thought that the matter was over. For the sake of safety, Cui's asked his henchman Yahuan to find Gao Bai and let him go to Shanzhou.

In this remnant letter, all the useful information is gone, and the only one who can do anything is the "Lord Song" in Shanzhou. Cui Shi asked Gao Bai to let go of everything and go to Shanzhou immediately, be sure to find this Lord Song, give Lord Song some benefits, and no matter who asks him in the future, let him not talk about it again.

Because she was not sure that Gao Jun would not get any definite information in the letter, she would take the opportunity to go to Shanzhou to inquire in person in the future.

Cui Shi took out three hundred taels of silver from his own body money and asked Gao Bai to take it to Shanzhou to make some money. She didn't think it was enough, she had to add something valuable to show her sincerity.

But she didn't bring anything valuable with her from Chang'an, and all she could find was a ruby ring that Gao Xianxing bought for her when she married her. This ring is made of pure gold, and this piece of gold alone is worth a lot. In particular, the ruby set on the top is not much smaller than a broad bean.

Gao Bai took money and things, went to Shanzhou to find this Lord Song, and pulled him outside to drink flower wine. This Lord Song has no achievements in the officialdom, all these years have passed, and the official position is not as good as Zhenguan's nine years.

At that time, he could occasionally deduct a little from the property, and now, not even a serious person comes to the door. A few days ago, Guo Beifeng came to look for him, and Lord Song knew that this was the second son of the governor of Xizhou, and he was a little flattered. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him who claimed to be Gao Fu came to him again.

From Gao Bai's words, he also recalled the words of the black hoof red rabbit that Guo Zhifeng asked him inexplicably. At that time, he was just unintentional small talk. At this time, Gao Bai solemnly brought it up again, and he couldn't help but let him ponder the value of this information.

Gao Bai asked him not to tell anyone about this matter in the future, and Lord Song said with some embarrassment, "If you ask about it because of business like Captain Guoyi last time, I can't hide it." ”

Gao Bai knew his thoughts, and at that time he auctioned out two hundred taels of silver to Lord Song, and the two of them told him to death at the wine table, and Song didn't know what the black hoof red rabbit was.

Gao Bai was secretly glad that he had saved a priceless finger ring, and he didn't plan to return this finger ring to Mrs. Cui again. Wait for him and Yahuan to leave Gaofu and take it out separately, and it will not be in vain that he likes Ju'er.

Unexpectedly, the next night, Lord Song came back with the silver. He put two hundred taels of silver on the wine table, and said to Gao Bai with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry brother...... Lord Guo, the commander of Guoyi, just came to say that he would investigate the matter of the black hoof red rabbit again tomorrow, and I dare not say it. ”

In fact, where is there such a thing, it's just that this surnamed Song smelled an opportunity from Gao Bai's words, how could two hundred taels of silver send him away easily? People live for a lifetime, and if they have the opportunity not to make a profit, are they waiting for no chance to be anxious?

Gao Bai was entrusted by his wife, and seeing that things were going to be ruined, he was so anxious that he immediately called for good wine and good food to drink with Lord Song. The more anxious he was, the less anxious Lord Song became, but talked about how urgent Guo Duwei's matter was.

Gao Bai couldn't, so he took out the ruby ring and said, "As long as you forget about it, it's yours!" ”

Lord Song's eyes lit up, and he stared at the finger ring. With it, I don't have to work for the rest of my life, and I can eat and drink. He carefully took the ring and swore a promise.

When people are happy and sit together, Lord Song's wine will be released. But he has been depressed for many years, and there are few people who even invite him to eat and drink on weekdays, where has he drunk so much wine? Before I knew it, I drank too much.

He sat in the seat and couldn't get up, his stomach was churning, and after a while he vomited out of his mouth and nose, and his face was swollen with purple. The guys in the hotel are busy and want to come up and take care of it. But at this time, Gao Bai suddenly had an idea. You choked on yourself, so what's my business?

Therefore, he stretched out his hand to stop the man and said, "It's okay, my brother is such a problem, and he will pass it after a while." But if you flip it, it's not good. The man heard the words and left.

Gao Bai looked coldly at Lord Song lying on the table and didn't move. He leaned over and quietly touched Lord Song's hand, which was already cold. Gao Bai took advantage of the chaos in the hotel, took back the finger ring from Lord Song's arms, and then took out two hundred taels of silver, leaving only the food money on the table, and slipped out by himself.

When the hotel closed, the man found that there was a dead man lying here, and quickly reported to the official. When the people in the yamen asked, it was better to have more people in the store than less, and they insisted that it was only this Lord Song who was drinking here, and never mentioned that there was another person. Therefore, Lord Song suffocated himself to death like this.

Gao Bai not only got a treasure, but also two hundred taels of silver leftover. And it seems that the matter that Madame confessed has also been satisfactorily resolved. This surnamed Song, if you whip him, he won't speak.

He spent the night in an inn and found a tailor's shop on the street. He couldn't take out the gemstone ring for people to sew, so he borrowed a needle and thread. It's just that the owner of this shop is stingy, "You also borrow it, and sewing two trouser legs is just a big copper coin, so you can't bear it...... Don't borrow! ”

Gao Bai was rich and generous, and scolded, "You dog eyes look down on people," said he took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, half a tael, and threw it on the owner of the shop, "Buy you a needle, and put the thread on the master!" The owner of the shop was so frightened that he didn't dare to say much, so he obediently threaded the thread into the needle and handed it over with both hands.

Gao Bai returned to the hotel, clumsily removed the placket, stuffed the finger ring into it and sewed it on. He took two hundred taels of silver, and squandered them on the way, and then he came back to restore his life.

When Ju'er heard this, her face turned white with fright, "Your body is a human life!" I'm going to be scared if I follow you. ”

Gao Bai rolled his eyes and said, "What does it matter to me that he drank and died?" Why should I save him? Besides, if I save him, it will be bad for my wife, and you should think about whether I did the right thing. ”

Yahuan thought about it, anyway, Gao Bai is not a life, and besides, such a result is called death without proof. Madame's affairs also had the most appropriate results. She was anxious to take a look at the finger ring that only a lady could wear in the past, and asked Gao Bai to take it out for her to wear.

Gao Bai proudly unwrapped his shirt and took out the finger ring and gave it to her. A treasure of red and yellow Chengcheng made Yahuan almost cry, and hugged Gao Bai and said repeatedly, "Where to put it, you must hide it in a safe place." ”

She said to Gao Bai, you often run around outside, in case you fall off one day, you don't know where to look for it, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water? Gao Bai thought about it, but there was really no good place to hide it.

Yahuan untied her close-fitting corset, removed the cotton lining from the inside by a finger-sized underseam, and forced the finger ring into it, thinking that she would go to the kitchen at night and sew it with a needle when there was no one.

In this way, the thing is tightly pressed against the chest, and its presence is always felt, and it is known whether it is there or not when you cover it with your hand occasionally. The two got a windfall and lingered in the hotel for a long time before parting. (To be continued.) )
