Cheng Xin, who finished feeding the pastries, clapped his hands, turned around and picked up the silver ticket.

"Five hundred taels, Second Highness lost playing chess with you?"

"Sort of."

Cheng Xin rolled his eyes and pulled the little grandfather to sit down: "Then I will also play the next game with you." If I win, the five hundred taels will be mine, how about it? ”

"What if you lose?"

"Then I'll go make you peach blossom cake right away." Cheng Xin handed over a flattering smile.

"Five hundred taels for a plate of peach blossom cake, Miss thinks it's really beautiful." The tea outside the door muttered quietly.

But he didn't want the little grandfather inside to nod: "Okay." ”

Qingcha shook her head, the little grandfather is not such an easily fooled person, he must be sure that the young lady will not be able to win.

Cheng Xin happily put down the silver ticket in his hand: "That's good, but I can't play Go." Let's play a different kind of chess. ”

Qin Shu didn't move.

Cheng Xin said: "It's very simple, I'll tell you the rules." Of course, if you're scared, forget it. ”

"Chess rules, you say."

Cheng Xin happily told the little grandfather how to play backgammon at the moment, and soon played the first game.

"Haha, I won. The five hundred taels were conceded. ”

Qin Shu frowned slightly: "Come again." ”

Cheng Xin shook his head again and again: "I won't go down." ”

"Five hundred taels."

Cheng Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Deal." ”

I don't want the little grandfather to quickly understand the essence of backgammon, which made her more and more difficult to play, and finally owed five hundred taels of silver.

Cheng Xin, who used the excuse of going back to get the silver, hurriedly slipped away.

"It's really a recipe for stealing chickens."

Hearing this, Min Qi chuckled: "Miss, you are playing with the little grandfather." I heard that when he was a companion in Guozijian back then, he was often praised by the Taifu because he learned everything well and quickly. ”

"Is it, he's been so good since he was a child?"

"But because of this, the prince and they all isolate the little grandfather."

"He was also bullied at school?" Cheng Xin stopped.

"What did you say, Miss?" Min Qi wondered.

"I mean, good people are always envied. And what about later? ”

"They want the little grandfather to be soft, but the little grandfather is stubborn, others ignore him, and he won't pay attention to people. Over time, the little grandfather's temperament has become cold. Fortunately, the second prince came later, and he treated people very well, and he was also good to the little grandfather. ”

"So, that's how they became friends."

"Yes, I heard that the second prince went to Yunshan Academy later, and the little grandfather also went with him."

"Where is Yunshan Academy, why have I never heard of it?"

Min Qi said: "In Linxian, it is a few days away from here. The young masters and ladies of the families in the capital who are valued by the family will go there to study for a few years before they are crowned or married. ”

"Women can go too?"

"Yes, there are also female masters there, but male and female students need to sit through the screen, and they are not rude."

This academy is so good, it reminds her of the green years when she was studying.

"So, I can't go at my age?"

"There's no rule that you can't go. It's just that most of the ladies of the family have promised to marry their families, and it is inconvenient to go to the academy to study. ”

Cheng Xin sighed slightly: "What about the little grandfather, why didn't he go to Yunshan Academy?" ”

"I heard Qingcha say that the little grandfather has been there for a few years, it seems that since the year after you came to the capital, the little grandfather will no longer go to the academy."

Cheng Xin chuckled when he heard this: "What you said is as if he doesn't go to the academy and has something to do with me." ”

"That's not what Minqi meant, don't get me wrong, miss."

"I also said casually, don't be nervous."

While speaking, Min Qi took Cheng Xin to her warehouse yard.

"The things in these three rooms belong to the young lady."

Min Qi started from the easternmost side in turn: "The biggest one is the dowry prepared by Mrs. Tai for Miss, which is managed by Mama Zhou. This room was sent to Jiangnan by Mrs. Tai to Miss, and Miss brought it back when she came back. After that, this room was something sent by Jiangnan over the years. ”

"Open it and I'll see." Cheng Xin feels like standing in front of the treasure mountain discovered by Alibaba, just waiting for her to say 'open the sesame door', and she can see countless treasures.

Minqi took out two keys: "Miss, Minqi can only open two doors, and the biggest key is in Mama Zhou." ”

"It's okay, just open these two places."

Minqi did so, and first opened the treasury where Jiangnan sent gifts every year.

The warehouse is cleaned every month, so it's pretty clean.

Cheng Xin casually opened a few boxes, and was dazzled by the dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry inside.

Jade bracelets, gold hairpins, jewelry, agate strings, many of them are stuffed into packing boxes.

Cheng Xin picked up a few strings casually, and when she really touched these things, she really felt what it meant to get rich overnight.

'Little book, this is the correct way to open the crossing girl. ’

Thinking about the moon buds beside Wen Yunxian, she was almost killed for five taels of silver, she felt that it didn't matter whether she crossed into a heroine or not, the important thing was to be rich, powerful and powerful, and living a chic life was the king.

But you have money, and you don't have the life to spend it. ’

Xiaoshu's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring Cheng Xin's heart cold.

That's right, although Wen Yunxian has no money now, she can be the queen in the future, and when the time comes, what will be there in the whole world that is not hers?

And she only has two months of life now, so she really has money and no life to spend.

Minqi, who noticed that Cheng Xin's mood was suddenly depressed, said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Xin shook his head: "It's okay, I just feel a little cold." ”

Minqi was busy opening a box: "Miss, there are still some good fox furs here, if Miss still feels cold now, you might as well take these out and use them again." ”

Cheng Xin glanced at it and shook his head: "No need." ”

It's not the body that she's cold.

Minqi stepped aside and opened the window facing the sunlight.

"Miss, this room is closed all year round, and it may be a little cold. Otherwise, let's go back. ”

"Well, by the way, is there a silver ticket?"

"Yes." Minqi opened a box and took out a wooden box from inside: "Here are some loose pieces of silver, not much." ”

The wooden box was opened, and Cheng Xin saw a stack full of silver tickets and a stack of gold ingots.

"This, that's not much?"

"For fear of insects and ants, the gains from other industries, those sent by Jiangnan, and the rewards from the palace every year are all registered and managed by the government. The silver here is what the young lady can usually spend. ”

Cheng Xin said: "It seems that I haven't spent much in the past two years." ”

"Yes, Miss said that it is cheesy to give away gold and silver. Most of the gifts given to Miss Wen were jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and treasures. ”

Cheng Xin nodded, in the eyes of the ladies of the family, gold and silver are naturally cheesy. But in fact, regardless of status, gold and silver are the things that those nobles are constantly chasing.

Cheng Xin took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from it and handed it to Minqi: "I'll send it to the little grandfather later." Then you will have some money, and we will use it tomorrow on the streets. ”

"How much silver does the young lady need, if it is daily, there is still it in the room."

"You can do it, not too much."

She didn't want to buy anything, she just wanted to go out into the streets.
