The curtain of the box was lifted from the outside, and with a breeze, Chen Lang walked in with a glass of wine in his hand and a smile on his face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as she saw Chen Lang, Liu Mei was still smiling just now, and her face was immediately covered with clouds, and she stretched out her hand and pointed to the door of the box and said, "Go out, I don't want to see you." ”

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Uncle Mei, the two of us were still talking about wine and joy together the night before yesterday, why are you glaring at me today, it's not good!" ”

Liu Mei said: "Stop, you and I don't know each other from now on, and I will never associate with a trustworthy person like you again, let alone drink and talk." ”

Chen Lang knew that Liu Mei was angry that he couldn't reply to what he promised him as soon as possible. said to Yue'er: "Yue'er, you avoid it first, I have something to say to Uncle Mei alone." ”

Yue'er stood up, nodded and walked out with some concern.

Chen Lang said behind Miss Yue'er: "Yue'er, you don't have to worry, Uncle Mei and I can't quarrel." As he spoke, he sat down where Yue'er was sitting, raised his glass lightly and said, "Uncle Mei, how can such a beautiful scenery be fake, come and have a drink!" ”

Liu Mei "snapped" and patted the table and said, "Don't be here with a grinning face, look ugly." What else do you have to say. ”

Chen Lang took a sip of wine and said, "Uncle Mei, I really blame me for this, but I was too busy to get out, so I didn't inform you of the news in time." ”

Liu Mei said: "Don't you just run a Western restaurant, what is there to be busy, if you are busy, since you have promised other people's things, you have to have a reply." ”

Chen Lang said: "A few days ago, the Qinglou run by a friend of mine was officially opened, and I went there to help, so I delayed the matter you commissioned. ”

Liu Mei listened, and said with a little anger: "Is that Qinglou?" ”

Chen Lang pointed in the direction that he had turned his back and said, "Yao! It's the Baiguo Courtyard not far from me, and you must have passed by it when you came. ”

Liu Mei nodded and said, "Oh, it's that Baiguo Courtyard, you guys are very ingenious and have such a name." ”

Chen Lang said: "How about it, this name lives up to its name!" ”

Liu Mei said: "Don't talk about Baiguoyuan first, let's talk about the matter I entrusted to you!" ”

Chen Lang said: "Uncle Mei, don't worry, as long as I am out of everything, it will be a certainty." ”

Liu Mei said happily: "So Yue'er agreed." ”

Chen Lang groaned: "What's the use of Yue'er agreeing, the matter of that girl now is not up to my father and brother." ”

Liu Mei nodded and said, "What the shopkeeper Chen said is very true, so Yue'er's family agreed." ”

Chen Lang said with some embarrassment: "Promise is promise, but they are lions with their mouths open." ”

Liu Mei said in surprise: "Why is the lion opening his mouth." ”

Chen Lang said: "I'm going to help you press down, but in the end, people still insist that if you want to marry Yue'er, you must give them the bride price." ”

Liu Mei said disapprovingly: "It is necessary to give a bride price, who doesn't want a bride price when marrying a daughter now!" I didn't say this! ”

Chen Lang said: "My beautiful uncle, do you know how much dowry they want!" ”

Liu Mei said: "How much bride price can they want, now most people have a bride price of 100 taels of silver, I think they want 200 taels of silver, which is the top of the sky." ”

Chen Lang shook his head like a rattle and said, "Wrong, do you think they are as simple as you think!" ”

Liu Mei said: "Then how much bride price do they want!" ”

Chen Lang said: "What they want is an integer, no more, no less a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Liu Mei widened her eyes and said: "Ah, what is marrying a daughter here, this is obviously selling her own flesh and bones." ”

Chen Lang said: "That's it, but you don't know, Yue'er's father and brother are all poor and anxious people, and they are staring fiercely waiting for Yue'er to receive the bride price when she gets married, and come to a salted fish to turn over." ”

Liu Mei scolded fiercely: "Grandson Turtle, if you want the salted fish to turn over, you can't go too far!" ”

Chen Lang smiled bitterly: "Uncle Mei, if you think Yue'er's father and brother are too much, then I think this matter will end here." There are good girls in the world, do you have to want her month! For a thousand taels of silver, you can marry five young girls at least! ”

Liu Mei said a little unhappily: "How can this be compared!" ”

Chen Lang said: "In this way, Uncle Mei, you have to marry Miss Yue'er." ”

Liu Mei nodded resolutely and said, "Yes, Miss Yue'er, I am married." ”

Chen Lang said: "Okay, tomorrow I will accompany you to Yue'er's house to propose marriage." ”

Liu Mei muttered: "This matter has to be delayed for two days." ”

Chen Lang said: "Why? “

Liu Mei said with some embarrassment: "You see, Uncle Mei, although I am not short of money, but this thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, I have to go back to raise it." ”

Chen Lang said: "This is no problem, if Uncle Mei needs it, I can go to a friend to help you borrow a thousand taels of silver." ”

Liu Mei said: "Joke, how can I borrow money to marry Yue'er!" Don't worry, I'll raise the money myself. ”

Chen Lang said: "Okay, let's go to Yue'er's house two days later to propose marriage." As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Since the matter is so decided, then I will be busy." I'll call Yue'er later, and the two of you will have a good time. ”

Liu Mei waved her hand and said, "No, in this case, I will go back to the house first and ponder the matter of raising silver taels." ”

Liu Mei came out of heaven and earth, did not shout a sedan chair, and walked slowly towards Sweetwater Street alone. All the way, he scolded fiercely in his heart: "Turtle son! Turtle son, it's really not a fucking human, he actually took Yue'er to sell it for money, it's so inhuman. ”

But scolding and scolding, you have to think about where to get money.

In fact, Emperor Zhenzong was also very kind to Liu Mei, the imposter uncle, not only built a garden-style uncle's mansion for Liu Mei on Sweetwater Street, but also allocated his pocket money of 500 taels of silver every month.

Five hundred taels of silver was a huge fortune in those days, and the average small merchant could earn five hundred taels of silver after ten years of hard work, even if it was swishing green smoke on the ancestral tomb.

However, for Liu Mei, five hundred taels of silver per month can barely support until the end of the month, because this silver comes too easily, just like a strong wind blowing, and everything that comes easily can go quickly.

Now, Liu Mei only has ten taels of silver left in her pocket, let alone the bride price for others, I'm afraid it won't even be enough to support it until the end of the month.

I walked all the way and thought about it, and I didn't think of any good way, and finally when I was about to walk to the door of my house, I patted my head and said to myself: "What are you doing with this brain?" Tomorrow I will go to the palace and solve everything! ”

There was a way to solve the matter, Liu Mei slept until three o'clock in the morning, then she got up from the bed, didn't eat, washed her face, changed into a set of clothes, and walked out of the palace.

When they came to the palace, the soldiers of the forbidden army guarding the palace naturally knew this Uncle Guo, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Uncle Guo is here!" ”

Liu Mei casually stuffed a piece of broken silver into the forbidden soldier and said, "Brother, please go to Xinning Palace and let Xiang'er, the concubine's waiter, come and say that I came." ”

The forbidden soldier took the silver and said, "Uncle Guo, wait a minute. And he ran out of the palace.

Liu Mei was born as a civilian, and she knew that those soldiers were not easy, so every time she came, she stuffed some silver for the soldiers guarding the door, so those soldiers were very willing to serve this uncle.

The soldier quickly ran to Xinning Palace and said to the maid standing at the door: "Sister Lao told Xiang'er that Uncle Guo was here." ”

The maid agreed, walked in, and said to Liu E: "Qi Yu Niangniang learned that Uncle Guo is here. ”

Liu E knew that Uncle Guo had the right to go directly to the palace, but Liu Mei was like this every time she came in order to avoid suspicion, so although Liu E felt sorry for Liu Mei in her heart, she was also very comforted in her heart, because Liu Mei was afraid that Emperor Zhenzong would be jealous.

Liu E listened to the maid's report, nodded lightly to Xiang'er who was standing beside her, and said, "You go and see what is going on with Uncle Guo!" ”

Miss Xiang'er followed the soldiers to the palace gate, stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle Guo, do you have something!" ”

Liu Mei waved her hand and said, "Xiang'er, if you go to report to the concubine, just say that I urgently need a thousand taels of silver." ”

Xiang'er said: "Uncle Guo, slave and maid, let's go and report!" As he spoke, he turned around and returned to Xinning Palace and said to Liu E: "Qiyu Niangniang learned that Uncle Guo said that he urgently needed a thousand taels of silver. ”

Liu E was a little surprised and said: "He doesn't lack food or drink, what do you want so much silver for, didn't you ask him what he was for!" ”

Xiang'er said: "No! ”

Liu E was a little angry and blamed: "Stupid girl, you go and ask Uncle Guo what he wants so much silver for!" ”

Xiang'er had no choice but to trot to the gate of the palace and said to Liu Mei: "Uncle Guo! The concubine asked me to ask what you want a thousand taels of silver for. ”

Liu Mei said impatiently: "You go and tell her that I am going to marry." ”

Xiang'er smiled "poof", and trotted all the way to report to Liu E: "Niangniang, Uncle Guo said that he wants to marry!" ”

Liu E frowned when she heard this, and said in a deep voice: "You go and tell Uncle Guo that the money will be delivered to Uncle Guo's mansion before noon tomorrow!" ”

Xiang'er said: "Yes! ”

Xiang'er panted and came to the gate of the palace and said to Liu Mei: "Uncle Guo, Niangniang said that you should go back and wait, and the silver will be delivered to the house before noon tomorrow." ”

When Liu Mei heard this, she slapped her face happily and said, "Damn!" Awesome. As he spoke, he turned and walked away.

Xiang'er pouted behind Liu Mei and said, "Look at his beauty, give it power, you are powerful, my leg almost didn't break." ”

As he spoke, he limped towards Xinning Palace.

After returning to Xingong, Liu E asked: "Xiang'er, didn't Uncle Guo say that he wanted to marry that girl!" ”

Xiang'er smiled and said, "He didn't say that the slave didn't dare to ask, but he was very happy to see Uncle Guo's appearance." ”

Liu E also smiled and said, "What kind of girl is this, it costs so much silver to marry back." ”

Xiang'er said: "Niangniang, do you still need to ask, the slave maid wants that girl to be like a fairy, gentle and lovely." ”

Liu E said: "You haven't seen that girl again, how do you know that she looks like a fairy, gentle and lovely." ”

Xiang'er said: "Do you still need to say this, all men love beautiful women, and when I see Uncle Guo dancing happily, the girl will not be able to go there." She is really blessed to marry her uncle's mansion. ”

Liu E didn't say anything when she heard it, just let out a long sigh inexplicably!
