Chapter 92: Everything Seems to Be Going Well
Gu Jinxiu said casually: "I want to know where Huang Honghu lives?" "She's going to have to get the jade pendant back.
Li Mojin took a sip of tea before saying, "Huang Honghu committed a crime and was exiled to the salt field. ”
What about the jade pendant?
Gu Jinxiu asked, "Can I go to the salt field to see him?" ”
Li Mojin shook his head, it is estimated that there are no more people now.
Gu Jinxiu came to Li Mojin and arched his hand:
"Your Excellency, you are accommodating, then Huang Honghu took away something as valuable as my house, I want to ask where he put it?"
Li Mojin pretended to be ignorant and asked:
"What is it? I'll send someone to help you ask, but it's better to go to the salt works, that place is not allowed to outsiders, and the prisoners inside are not easy to mess with. ”
Gu Jinxiu knew that the salt works in this era were under the control of the imperial court, and generally people who entered there would not be able to get out for the rest of their lives.
At the same time, she also hopes that Huang Honghu will not come out, so that Yu Pei will not appear for the rest of his life.
But in case Huang Honghu has pawned the jade pendant, wouldn't it be a disaster!
The origin of the He family is unknown, and the identity of the person who can have such a beautiful jade must be extraordinary, if someone comes to recognize his relatives or an enemy will come to chase and kill him one day...... She didn't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs at all, and now she could only retrieve the jade pendant.
"My lord, what did this Huang Honghu do?"
Li Mojin said casually: "The burglary failed, and the result was killed." "Actually, Huang Honghu didn't do anything, he just cheated Gu Jinxiu's jade pendant!
This man doesn't know a good excuse for lying.
Gu Jinxiu wanted to expose Li Mojin's lies, thinking that Huang Honghu once saw that the original owner's finger was injured, he fainted gorgeously. "My lord, Huang Honghu faints blood."
"How do you know?"
Li Mojin felt that Gu Jinxiu knew more about Huang Honghu than about him, and there was displeasure hidden in his eyes, and he slandered: "That widow lives alone, he uses beautiful men's tricks, and then poisons people. ”
Gu Jinxiu thought back to Huang Honghu's appearance, a black line fell straight down, and the body that could be blown away by a gust of wind was matched with a baby face, and he also used a beautiful man's trick, come on!
"My lord, who are you fooling, as long as you are not blind, you will definitely not look down on him."
"I heard that Ling Mei likes him very much, so he won't marry."
"Ugh."
My lord, what nonsense are you telling the truth.
I don't know if I can see through it!
Gu Jinxiu felt that she couldn't go on, raised her eyes and glanced at Li Mojin's handsome face, and said, "My sister is young and doesn't know people's hearts and sinister people, no, she has already dumped that weak chicken." ”
After Li Mojin heard this, there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said quite approvingly:
"You'll have to keep your eyes open in the future."
Gu Jinxiu smiled, she didn't plan to find a husband in this era when there were generally three wives and four concubines, so she felt that there was really no need for this topic to continue.
Thinking of investigating the case and possibly searching the residence, Gu Jinxiu asked:
"My lord, did you find a jade pendant engraved with the word "tranquility" in Huang Honghu's home?"
Li Mojin said as if recalling: "There seems to be such a jade pendant." ”
Listening to Li Mojin's uncertain tone, Gu Jinxiu was sure that Li Mojin definitely knew where the jade pendant was:
"My lord, can you give me back the jade pendant?"
"No,"
Li Mojin glanced at Gu Jinxiu's changing expression under the cover of the teacup, and reminded:
"Gu Gongzi, you owe me 10,000 taels and haven't paid it back."
Can you not mention this terrible 10,000 taels?
Gu Jinxiu slandered Li Mojin in his heart for being cunning, and said with a smile:
"My lord, let me tell you the truth, that jade pendant is a gift from my teacher, and it has extraordinary significance to me, you see... As for the money owed to you, I promise I will pay it back. ”
Looking at Gu Jinxiu who swore by him, Li Mojin didn't believe a word about it, however, this jade pendant could indeed make Gu Jinxiu have a constraint when he wanted to run away, and his face was not authentic:
"If Gu Gongzi really doesn't have the money to pay back by then, at least I won't lose too much, then the jade pendant is worth five thousand taels no matter what."
When Gu Jinxiu heard this, her eyes lit up, this jade pendant can be so valuable, and she has to get it back if she says anything today.
"My lord, I really can't use that jade pendant to pay off my debts."
Gu Jinxiu assured very proudly: "But don't worry, I will definitely not fail to repay the debt, after all, what is written in black and white, I will definitely not be able to deny it." What's more, there are still four or five months left before the deadline for repaying the debt. ”
Li Mojin said tentatively: "You have the ability to repay the money now?" ”
"Yes,"
A must have!
Gu Jinxiu explained with a smile: "My shop is estimated to earn a hundred taels of silver every month. I also cooperate with Brother Zhao, there should be about 100 taels per month, don't look at this less, my lord, it adds up to a lot... Don't worry, my lord, I'll give you back. ”
Hearing this, Li Mojin breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Gu Jinxiu would have the ability to repay his debts, so wouldn't his abacus be unsounding!
The two discussed for a long time, and Li Mojin finally compromised in order to reassure Gu Jinxiu.
He decided to return the jade pendant to Gu Jinxiu, and he planned to arrange a few more secret guards to protect her.
Gu Jinxiu saw that Li Mojin agreed to return the jade pendant to her, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left, as if she was afraid that Li Mojin would regret it.
Looking at the back of Gu Jinxiu leaving, Li Mojin smiled, Gu Jinxiu, you can't run away!
……
On this day, Gu Jinxiu sent lunch to Li Mojin, and at the same time retrieved the jade pendant.
She had planned to go to see the villagers, listen to the gossip here, and find out what the rumors of Li Dazhu's injury were.
Along the way, Gu Jinxiu didn't hear any more rumors about Guangyu's matter, and had to sigh that Li Mojin's work efficiency was really fast, and in just such a day, a new topic began in the land of Yanghe.
Gu Jinxiu saw that the villagers of the third surname village were working hard, and she was worried about a few words of advice before leaving.
On the way back, Gu Jinxiu ran into a child carrying a basket who was shuttling around the construction site selling mugwort baba, and she suddenly remembered the business that she had forgotten.
After saying goodbye to Li Mojin in a hurry, Gu Jinxiu went back to the village to find Uncle Gu Liu to make a few small carts.
After thinking about it, Gu Jinxiu finally decided to go to the poorest family in the village to help her work.
Upon hearing the news, the family was overjoyed to respond to the matter.
Because of the Lin family and the Sun family's affairs first, Gu Jinxiu did not plan to teach outsiders to cook.
At the same time, in order to conceal the fact that she was the owner of the Yixi Shop, she took these people to the Yixi Shop to sign a contract with the Zhu steward, let them go to the Yixi Shop to pick up food, and then push the cart around to sell it, giving them wages and bonuses.
After negotiating this matter, Gu Jinxiu handed over the matter to Steward Zhu.
On the eve of Qingming, the takeaway cart was officially opened.
When Gu Jinxiu went to deliver food to Li Mojin, he found that there were already three carts walking around the construction site, and the people pushing the three carts shouted from time to time: "The big meat bun with fragrant buns is two pennies a piece... A lunch box with two meat and one vegetable... Salmon tube full of brine powder..."
As the shouting drifted away, many people came to buy food, and business was not bad.
It seems that everything is going for the better......
