Chapter 224: One Hundred Taels of Silver
Fang Hanniang's voice was clear and crisp, and when she said these words, her tone was very calm, which undoubtedly added a bit of convincing power, and the people who watched the excitement couldn't help but look at Lu Huaiqing and then look at Fang Hanniang wearing a hat to cover her face, and muttered quietly.
Lu Huaiqing was accurately poked in the heart by Fang Hanniang, this time her face really changed, from red to white and then to blue, changing back and forth, it was wonderful.
Mingyue was anxious and wanted to speak for her young lady: "You ......"
"Shut up!" Fang Hanniang opened her mouth coldly.
She was so momentum that Mingyue was stunned.
Fang Hanniang continued to say coldly: "I have something very important to do when I enter Beijing this time, and I don't want to be ruined by your master and servant. Doesn't Miss Lu like to pretend to be weak, doesn't she like to pretend to be bullied by me? Then I have to sit down on this wicked person today, and bully you well, so as to save yourself from being a good person and falling into dirty water. ”
She paused and looked at the shopkeeper Gu who was sitting and watching the play with relish: "Uncle Gu, please calculate, how much silver should they pay us if we take them on this trip?" ”
In fact, Fang Hanniang can also calculate it, but she is the party concerned, and if she calculates it herself, she may let the pair of masters and servants have something to chew on, she is annoyed and arguing with this pair of masters and servants, so she simply let the Gu shopkeeper calculate it in front of everyone, so as to convince the public.
Lu Huaiqing said stiffly: "It turns out that Sister Fang said so much, didn't she just want to ask us for money." Okay, you guys count, we'll give the money. It's better than saying these damaging words. As he spoke, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked pitiful and strong with pear blossoms and rain.
It's just that what Fang Hanniang said was more or less listened to, and at this time, looking at Lu Huaiqing's attitude, I first had a question in my heart, was this pretending to be her?
Shopkeeper Gu suddenly came to his senses, took out an iron abacus, crackled for a long time, and accurately reported a number: "Miss Lu should pay us one hundred taels of silver." ”
After speaking, he looked like he was waiting for Lu Huaiqing to pay.
Lu Huaiqing was shocked, she couldn't pretend to be weak, and her eyes widened: "Why are there so many?!" You...... You guys are robbing! ”
Shopkeeper Gu smiled: "Miss Lu's words are wrong. Gu is calculated according to a reasonable proportion of Miss Lu's tattoo silver...... Actually, if Gu is not mistaken, the two young ladies have been following our dart team since Hukou, but at that time, after all, it was just the light of the dart team, so they won't charge you money. Our eldest lady is kind-hearted, and at that time, she specially instructed Mr. Lin to take care of the dart...... How did you know that Miss Lu and Miss Mingyue turned their faces so quickly. ”
Lu Huaiqing's face was embarrassed, and Mingyue shouted: "What's the matter, the official road is so wide, is it the light of your dart team to walk behind you?" Isn't it okay to coincide?! ”
The shopkeeper Gu smiled and said: "Coincidence is naturally okay, a coincidence for a few days in a row, it's nothing, so Gu didn't count the money of the two of them in this paragraph, just took it out and said it, so that the two of them have a number in their hearts." ”
In fact, it is also common for solo travelers to follow the caravan or dart team on the road, but under normal circumstances, sensible travelers will give a little money to the caravan or dart team leader.
Mingyue's arrogant appearance of rubbing the caravan made others see it, and they couldn't help but have a bad impression of Mingyue and the others.
This is also the purpose of the Gu shopkeeper.
Fang Hanniang nodded in her heart, and Uncle Gu was indeed an old fox.
The shopkeeper continued: "...... Miss Lu and Miss Mingyue, please continue to listen to Gu's calculations. That day, Miss Lu and Miss Mingyue's carriage broke down, and they begged our eldest lady to give you a ride. Our eldest lady is kind-hearted and agreed to your request. At that time, the two girls didn't mention the travel expenses, and the eldest lady of our family was not bad for money, so naturally forget it. But now the two young ladies are not only ungrateful but bite back, slandering my eldest lady, then we have to calculate the travel expenses - my family invited the dart masters of the Huwei Dart Bureau to escort my young lady from Yuncheng to the capital, and paid a total of 800 taels of silver to the dart team. Mr. Lin, Gu is not wrong, right? ”
Mr. Lin nodded, and said heartily: "Master Fang is a cheerful person, and in addition, he also gave Lin a hundred taels of silver as a coil on the eldest lady's road." ”
Shopkeeper Gu smiled: "We don't have to count this hundred taels of silver." The eight hundred taels of silver alone are a sixteen-day journey from Yuncheng to the capital. Then, when converted into daily consumption, that is fifty taels of silver. The dart masters of the Huwei Dart Bureau are all strong in martial arts, strong and strong, and many thieves fled from the wind, so that the convoy went all the way unimpeded and arrived safely in the capital. The shopkeeper Gu paused slightly and looked at Lu Huaiqing, "Does Miss Lu have any doubts about what Gu said?" ”
In front of the eyes of many dart masters, what else could Lu Huaiqing say? She could only grit her teeth and say, "It's really worth it." ”
Shopkeeper Gu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then since Miss Lu has enjoyed this escort, she also thinks that this dart fee is very worthwhile, so she should also bear some dart fees." Miss Lu and Miss Mingyue have been on the carriage of my eldest lady since the day, and now, it has been about ten days, so the two of them only bear ten taels of silver darts every day, and my young lady bears forty taels of silver darts fees, and the luxury carriage is free for the two of them, so where do you think it's not worth it? ”
Shopkeeper Gu dug the pit step by step, leading Lu Huaiqing to jump into the pit, what else could she say?
Lu Huaiqing gritted her teeth, and said in her heart, this surnamed Gu didn't know if she had a perspective eye, and there was still a silver ticket of one hundred taels and a little broken silver left on them!
"You can pay this one hundred taels of silver...... Lu Huaiqing opened her mouth timidly, "But Mr. Gu also said that it is the dart masters who escort us, and I want to give this silver to Mr. Lin's dart head." ”
"Miss Lu doesn't have to." Mr. Lin said politely, refusing very decisively, "The dart fee for our trip is covered by the Fang family, it stands to reason that you are taking advantage of the Fang family, and you should give the silver to Miss Fang." ”
He has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, so he can naturally see what Lu Huaiqing's idea is, doesn't he just want to use their tiger dart game to embarrass Miss Fang?
It's really ridiculous, he Lin Hu has been walking on the rivers and lakes for so many years, how could he be bought by a little girl for a hundred taels and destroy his reputation?
This is too contemptuous of people!
He said politely, but the eyes that looked at Lu Huaiqing were angry.
Lu Huaiqing was stunned, but she really didn't expect that Mr. Lin would be so direct and refuse her without giving any face.
She had no choice but to look at the other dart masters with weak eyes: "Mr. Lin, you may not take this one hundred taels of silver in your eyes, but this silver is not for your own ......."
Ruolin was still angry and funny, but at this moment, he was completely angered by Lu Huaiqing.
This little girl, only a hundred taels, still wants to sow discord in their dart team?!
Mr. Lin stood up, his majestic body was like a hill, and he looked at Lu Huaiqing coldly: "You little girl, you are too self-righteous, too ignorant!" ”
"Okay, Mr. Lin, don't be angry about this." Fang Hanniang persuaded, "Even if Miss Lu gives it to me, I will transfer it to your dart team, after all, everyone's hard work along the way escorted us to the capital safely, it is really hard, this hundred taels of silver, it is my tea fee for everyone, and when everyone arrives in the capital, find a place to have a good meal." ”
Mr. Lin didn't expect Fang Hanniang to be so generous, and he was slightly stunned, but his anger disappeared a lot.
He sat down with a sword, thinking to himself, no wonder Miss Nalu has a small family spirit on her face, compared with Miss Fang, it is like a heaven and an earth.
"Since Miss Lu has also admitted the account," Fang Hanniang said with a smile, "Then please ask Miss Lu to give the one hundred taels of silver to Mr. Lin." ”
Lu Huaiqing was also stunned, she really didn't expect Fang Hanniang to be so willing, and she gave away a hundred taels generously, her tone was natural and normal, and she didn't look half angry at all!
No, she must be secretly angry in her heart! She must be pretending!
Thinking like this, Lu Huaiqing settled down, took out the silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, handed it to Mingyue, and motioned for her to take it.
Mingyue whispered, "Miss......"
"Go." Lu Huaiqing forced herself to calm down, she was actually bleeding in her heart.
Mingyue reluctantly took the one hundred taels of silver, and when she passed by Fang Hanniang, she glanced at Fang Hanniang fiercely.
Fang Hanniang's eyes didn't put on Mingyue at all, she was slightly lifting the light veil hanging from a corner of the hat to drink tea.
"Give." Mingyue swallowed her anger and reluctantly handed the thin silver ticket to Mr. Lin's dart.
Mr. Lin snorted coldly, raised his eyes, sandwiched the silver ticket between his fingers, and put it in his arms, not bothering to say a word to Mingyue.
Mingyue didn't dare to face Mr. Lin's head yin and yang, she endured the resentment in her heart, and when she turned around, she saw Fang Hanniang revealing a small half of her white and flawless side face, moist and shiny, she was born from the side of her guts, quickly snatched a cup of hot water from the table next door, and splashed it towards Fang Hanniang!
Mingyue's movements were too fast, and Mr. Lin disdained to look at her because he hated the pair of masters and servants, but he didn't react!
Seeing that the hot tea was about to spill on Fang Hanniang's face!
A figure swept by like a gale, kicked Fei Mingyue, pulled up Fang Hanniang and turned around, and a cup of hot tea was all splashed on his back.
Fang Hanniang originally thought it was a secret guard, and was about to say thank you, but it turned out that something seemed to be wrong.
That handsome face, the person who was pursing her lips and looking at her with a complicated expression, who was not Ji Jinxing?
