Chapter 233: Good Intentions
"All of them, how many?" Shangguan Wan'er asked quietly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hou Jie gritted his teeth and said, "There are about 600,000 taels!" ”
"How many days do you estimate that you will be able to deliver the remaining 600,000 taels of silver tickets?" Shangguan Wan'er continued to ask.
In Hou Jie's eyes, Shangguan Wan'er is not a greedy person, and for some reason today, she seems to be quite interested in silver, which makes Hou Jie feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Hou Jie stopped talking, Shangguan Wan'er said meaningfully: "Whether Zhang Bao'er can be safe or sound depends on your silver!" ”
Hearing Shangguan Wan'er say this, in order to rescue Zhang Bao'er, Hou Jie couldn't care so much, he glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, took a deep breath and said, "I promise to send the remaining silver tickets to Niangniang's Mansion within two days!" ”
"Good! Remember what you say! Shangguan Wan'er sent off the guests: "You go back first!" ”
After sending Hou Jie away, Hong'er returned to the room, stood behind Shangguan Wan'er, secretly glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and lowered her head.
Shangguan Wan'er seemed to have eyes behind her, and threw out a sentence for no reason: "If you have something to say, you just have to say it, I don't care if it's suffocated!" ”
Hong'er was stunned for a moment, and boldly asked: "Niangniang is wise, the slave maid does not know something!" ”
"You've been with me for so many years, and you know who I am, and you're trying to ask why I'm so greedy today to squeeze out their money, right?" Shangguan Wan'er's face was as calm as water.
"Slaves don't dare!" Hearing Shangguan Wan'er say such a heart-wrenching word, Hong'er was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground.
"Get up! I just said what you thought in your heart, and I didn't blame you! Shangguan Wan'er said kindly: "Actually, I'm helping him!" ”
Hong'er was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask.
"Zhang Baoer is Cui Lang's best friend, in order to save Zhang Baoer, Cui Lang played to His Majesty several times, asking His Majesty to pardon Zhang Baoer. No matter how greedy I am, I won't fight Zhang Bao'er's idea! Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom: "Your Majesty already has the mind to pardon Zhang Bao'er, if I am not wrong, Princess Taiping will soon take action, and Zhang Bao'er's acquittal is basically a foregone conclusion." ”
"If that's the case, why is the mother persecuting them?" Hong'er was even more puzzled.
"I can see the situation clearly, but I can't guarantee that they can understand it too, because I am afraid that they will rush to the hospital and spill the money everywhere in vain, but they will not even hear a sound. Rather than that, it's better for me to take it for them first, and when Zhang Bao'er is released from prison, I will return it in full! ”
After hearing this, Hong'er suddenly realized that she had to admire Shangguan Wan'er's foresight.
"Actually, there's another meaning to me doing this!" Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be in a good mood, and she said to Hong'er: "Even if Zhang Bao'er is released from prison this time, she will definitely not be able to stay in Chang'an." I urged them to ask for silver, that is, to let them dispose of the shop and property as soon as possible, although they were all sold cheaply, but they could be cut off clearly. In this way, Zhang Baoer can leave Chang'an without worries when he is released from prison, and if he can leave one day earlier, he will naturally be less dangerous. ”
Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er sighed faintly and said to herself: "I hope that one day in the future, he can understand my good intentions!" ”
……
In the Long's dart game, Long Zhuang was sitting in the room with a sad face.
"Chief dart, Miss Jiang asks to see you!" A dart master came to report.
Long Zhuang cheered up and ordered: "Hurry up, please!" ”
Jiang Xiaotong entered the house and saluted Long Zhuang and said, "Xiaotong has seen Brother Long!" ”
Long Zhuang hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Brother and sister, Long is ashamed!" ”
Jiang Xiaotong was a little inexplicable: "Brother Long, why do you say this?" ”
Long Zhuang took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Jiang Xiaotong: "I can barely make up 20,000 taels of silver here, I thought that I would deal with the dart game and make up more silver to send to my younger siblings, but at this juncture, no one came to take over the dart game, which is really embarrassing!" ”
"Brother Long, the Long Clan's dart game must not be shot!" Jiang Xiaotong hurriedly waved his hand.
"What? Brother and sister, do you look down on Brother Long? Long Zhuang said excitedly: "Although I, Long, am a martial artist, I also know how to repay the kindness of people with a drop of water!" At the beginning, it was Bao'er who helped me when I was in the most difficult time, but now that Bao'er is in trouble, how can I stand idly by? What's more, half of this Long's dart game was originally Bao'er's, and now it is urgent to use money, and if it is sold, it will be sold, and there is nothing reluctant to give up! ”
"Brother Long, you're going to be mistaken! I've got all the money! Jiang Xiaotong hurriedly explained: "I came today, it was Bao'er who had something to pass on to Brother Long!" ”
"Passing the word?" Long Zhuang was stunned: "Bao'er has something to say, brother and sister, hurry up!" ”
"Bao'er said, please rest assured, Brother Long, he will be released from prison soon!"
"Is this true?" Long Zhuang said in surprise.
Jiang Xiaotong nodded and said: "Bao'er asked me to tell Brother Long that he may not be able to stay in Chang'an after he is released from prison, and he is not uncommon in other industries, but the Long Dart Game is his home." One day, when he returns to Chang'an, I hope his home is still there, and I hope he can return to his home! ”
"Bao'er!" Long Zhuang's lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
"Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise you would have left Bao'er with lifelong regrets!" Jiang Xiaotong comforted Long Zhuang: "Brother Long, you know better than me that Long's dart game is Bao'er's idea, you must not sell it!" ”
"Not for sale! Don't sell! Long Zhuang's eyes moistened: "Brother and sister, tell Bao'er for me, I will help him guard the Long Clan's dart game, let him rest assured, his home in Chang'an will always be there!" The door of this home will always be open for him! ”
……
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, snowflakes drifted in the sky of Chang'an.
With Chinese New Year's Eve just a few days away, families are immersed in the festivities brought by the festival.
In the Daming Palace, outside the Ganlu Palace, a slender woman was kneeling in the snow, with a thick layer of snowflakes falling on her body.
Unlike the snowy sky outside, the inside of the Manna Hall is warm.
Li Xian put his hands behind his back and sighed while pacing back and forth irritably.
In recent days, Li Xian has been in a very bad mood.
As a man who values feelings, Li Xian is really good to his relatives, he has done everything he can and given everything he can give, but they don't let themselves worry.
Not to mention that Li Xian's wife fought for power in the court, so he couldn't step down. Not to mention that Li Xian's favorite daughter is accumulating money outside and making a miasma. Even the adopted daughter, who has always been the most obedient, is now disobedient to Li Xian, how can this make him feel good?
"Are slaves still kneeling outside?" Li Xian finally stopped and asked Yang Siqiao.
Yang Siqiao nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the county lord has been kneeling for seven or eight hours since last night!" ”
