(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your opinions, search for the WeChat public account "dd" now and pay attention to "My Wife is a General"!) "Butler, I want to borrow 5,000 yuan, I need it urgently, and I will pay it back in a few days~"
Back at his house, Bai Qingjing went to the account room and said to the housekeeper who was in charge of the accounts.
"Great official, this ......" Hearing the number Bai Qing say, the housekeeper thought that he had heard it wrong at first, but when he raised his head and looked at Bai Qing's serious face, he knew that Bai Qing was not joking at all, and couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"What? Can't I borrow money from the bookkeeper? Bai Qing stared at the housekeeper's eyes and asked in a deep voice, although the expression on his face remained unchanged, but the tone of his voice still made the housekeeper feel a little uneasy...... The butler couldn't even think about it.
However, it is not a small amount to ask for 5,000 yuan when you open your mouth, after all, all the income of the Tai Mansion in a year is only a few thousand yuan, which is enough for the expenses of a family with a good family for ten years, and even in the next life, it is not so simple to withdraw a million yuan in cash casually, so the housekeeper cannot call the shots at all.
But he couldn't directly refuse Bai Qing, after all, where was Bai Qing's identity, so he could only grit his teeth and say to Bai Qing: "Big official, it's not that the old slave doesn't give it, it's just such a large amount, and you have to nod your head from the lady of Lantai!" â
"Go, go, go!" Bai Qing nodded, he didn't want to embarrass an old man, in fact, if he hadn't been angry with Tantai Longwu because of what happened last night, he would have gone to talk to Tantai Longwu himself.
Seeing Bai Qing waiting here, the housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and after saluting Bai Qing, he ran to the study to find the dragon dance.
"That's what he said? Want to borrow 5,000? With so much money, what is he going to do? After hearing the butler's announcement, Longwu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked lightly.
"This ...... He didn't say anything about the big officials! The butler replied respectfully to the dragon dance.
Tantai Long Wu also understood that as a housekeeper, it was naturally impossible to ask about this, she was silent for a moment before she said softly: "Give it to him!" â
"This ...... Be! Hearing the words of the dragon dance, the butler looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he answered and bowed his head and retreated.
When the butler's figure disappeared at the door, Yutai Longwu withdrew his gaze and stared at his hand holding the pen for a while before continuing to write on the paper.
"Great official, this is a silver ticket of 5,000 yuan, please take a look!" Bai Qing waited boredly in the account room for a while, and just when he was a little impatient, the butler came in from behind, and then took out five silver tickets of one thousand yuan from his arms, and respectfully handed them to Bai Qing.
"It's easy to say, there's a labor housekeeper!" After taking the silver ticket from the butler's hand, he took a general look at it, stuffed it into his arms casually, and then took out a piece of paper: "This is my IOU, the housekeeper will put it away for the time being, and I will return it in a few days!" â
"Officials, please take care of yourself!" The butler took it respectfully, then put it away carefully, nodded to Bai Qing, and Bai Qing smiled kindly at the butler, then turned and walked out of the room, heading in the direction of the stable.
Riding a horse out of the Tantai Mansion, Bai Qing beat the horse and went straight to the alum building, to say that he borrowed money from the account of the Tantai family to redeem Master Li, he was indeed a little compelled, although he had always been planning to redeem himself by Master Li, after all, in his heart, Master Li had a very important position for him, but Bai Qing never thought that it would be so fast, he had always been in his heart to take care of the love of the Dragon Dance of the Tai, and after all, his savings were pitiful, originally he didn't plan to use the money of the Tai family, he just thought that he could come up with ideas, With the help of the capital operation of the Tangtai family, he obtained his first pot of gold and used it to redeem Master Li, but all the beautiful fantasies about the future life were ruthlessly shattered by the Dragon Dance last night, the reason why he was in such a hurry to redeem Master Li was also to have this plan, he wanted to let the Dragon Dance know that without her, he was still liked by someone.
"Yo, isn't this Bai Qing, I haven't seen you for a few days, and now you look like a dog, and you're getting rich?" When he arrived at the door of the alum building, he just got off the horse, he heard a voice in his ears, and when he looked back, it was a little guy who had been friends with him, and he had already feasted these wine and meat brothers who had worked together in the alum building, and they were also full of envy for Bai Qing's adventure.
"It's okay!" Bai Qing walked over and patted him on the shoulder, although the friendship between them was not particularly deep, but Bai Qing did not have any idea of putting on a big official at this time, in his heart, whether it was the little guy in the past or the husband of the current Longwu, he was him, and he would not change because of the change of identity.
Bai Qing was in a hurry to redeem Master Li, so the two just exchanged pleasantries a little, Bai Qing handed the reins of the horse into his hands, and then hurriedly entered the gate of the alum tower in the envious eyes of the little guy.
Along the way, from time to time, there were small servants and various warblers and Yanyan who greeted him, and a "white official" with a flattering tone came into Bai Qing's ears from time to time, after all, Bai Qing's identity is no longer the same as they used to be, but the husband of the general of the court, and he is the storage zĂ i that they can only look up to.
"Yo, isn't this a big official Bai, I heard that yesterday was your big day, and I haven't said hello to you yet, why, I'm coming to this alum building today......" Just after arriving on the second floor, ** Zi greeted him with a bright smile, and the handkerchief in his hand was still waving, and the flattery that came out was now that she also knew that the Bai Qing in front of her was no longer what it used to be, and she was also suddenly aware of the identity of the generals who came that day.
"I took the liberty to come here today because I wanted to bother my mother!" Bai Qing did not neglect this ** son in the slightest, as before, after saluting, he said loudly, after all, Master Li's deed of sale is still in her hands.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Bai Daguan, please~" Seeing that Bai Qing looked solemn, and still respected himself, he didn't get carried away at all because of the change of his identity, and the ** son suddenly had a good impression of Bai Qing, and hurriedly introduced Bai Qing to a room inside to sit down.
After waiting for the next person to bring a pot of tea and four plates of dried fruit preserves, ** Zi opened his mouth and asked Bai Qing: "Bai Daguan, now there are only you and me, you came to the slave family, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" â
"Don't dare to deceive my mother, I came this time to redeem my senior sister!" Bai Qing said to the **.
"Oh, redeem the teacher? I don't know how much money the white officials have paid? "I didn't expect the other party to have such an idea, ** Zi's face is a little unnatural, you must know that as one of the two leaders of Bianliang City, Master Li, although he has not yet left the cabinet, but how many princes and nobles, dignitaries and young heroes have spent a lot of money to fight the beauty with a smile, it can be said that Master Li is a cash cow in this alum building, and it is also a cash cow that has not fully grown, Bai Qing wants to redeem her, almost digging the lifeblood of the alum building.
Bai Qing didn't make a sound, just took out the five silver tickets from his arms and pushed them in front of the ** son.
"Five thousand guan ......" saw the amount on the silver ticket in front of her, ** Zi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, she raised her head, and there was a smile in her eyes that couldn't be concealed: "Originally, I heard the big official say that she wanted to redeem her teacher, and I was happy for her, and finally met a person who was affectionate and righteous and willing to spend a lot of money for her, but never thought that the big official just wanted to use this five thousand guan to redeem her?" You also underestimate Master Li's worth! â
"Huh? 5,000 is less? Mom, don't bluff me, it's not like I haven't stayed here, 5,000 is enough to ransom several people from you! Bai Qing saw the strange look on the **zi's face, and suddenly thought that she seemed to be suspected of sitting on the ground, and couldn't help but sink her face and say to the **zi.
"5,000 is a lot!" Seeing that Bai Qing's face had changed a little, **Zi suddenly remembered the prestige of his bride, and couldn't help but shudder, hurriedly put away the mocking look on his face, and said to Bai Qingzheng: "But that is also a scorer, Shishi is not an ordinary person, to put it mildly, I have been in this industry for almost thirty years, what kind of woman I have never seen, but like her, she is really the only one, although it is said that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, but Master Li is definitely different from other Qinglou women, Look at Cui Niannu in the East Building, who has a great reputation, but don't look at her now as famous as her teacher, but in less than ten years, she can still be famous all over the world, and this Cui Niannu may not be remembered by anyone! â
"......" After hearing the words of the ** son, Bai Qing was a little silent, he had to admire the viciousness of the ** son's eyes, as she said, everyone in the world knows Master Li, who knows which Cui Niannu is, after a while, he gritted his teeth and asked the ** son: "Mom, we don't talk darkly, you still give a happy word, how much money do you need to redeem your senior sister?" â
"You have also been with me for a few years, from the day you were able to save her single-handedly, I knew that you were a man with affection and righteousness, let me tell you this......" **Zi paused, raised his head and stared at Bai Qing's eyes, and said seriously: "Now the comb of the master has been fried to three thousand!" Moreover, the price is still rising! â
In ancient times, the virgins or Qing people in the Qinglou only combed their braids, and after the first pick-up, they combed their buns, which was called "combing". And what is the concept of 3,000 guan, if converted into RMB in later generations, it is 600,000, that is, now Master Li's ** has been called to a sky-high price of 600,000, and in the end it is more than this price.
Hearing this price, Bai Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it seemed to be a little beyond his imagination, and then he listened to the ** son continue: "Someone once mentioned to me about redeeming the master, at that time I heard the master say that it would cost 200,000 yuan at a time, and the current price will only be high, not low!" â
As soon as the words of the ** son fell, suddenly there was a sound in the room, and then a voice came from outside the door: "Mom, Tong Yanei asks to see her, and wants to redeem her life for the teacher and girl......"
