57 Silver
I simply didn't feel embarrassed about myself, I took a book and held it in my hand, and then leaned it on the big kang near the window.
Tonight's night is the incense, since it is not a lot of words, tonight is even more, the movements and breaths are almost silent.
After taking the needle and thread, he sat on the side, and while making her a new pair of shoes, he accompanied her, only occasionally getting up to cut the lamp and pick out the lamp and candle more clearly.
A master and a servant just lay down and sat like this, without half a word, but they were extraordinarily leisurely.
It was like this until it was dark outside and he heard a faint movement, Chu Yixian's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyes from the book that had not turned half a page.
Oh, Shi Nan came in the door, saluted, and said in a low voice, "The news that came back just now, the uncle has taken the people in the palace to Fan Ji Restaurant." ”
Although Chu Yixian came back, he deliberately left Lian Qing and Sun Tao there, and secretly asked Shi Feng to guard it, and whenever there was any movement, no matter how late it was, he would bring the news back.
Hearing this, Chu Yixian's expression relaxed slightly, "Do you know who is the leader?" ”
After asking, I felt a little embarrassed, for her, but the time to close her eyes and open her eyes was completely different from Shi Feng and them, at this time, they had just come to Yanjing from a remote place, and they didn't know a few people, let alone people from the palace?
But she didn't think about it, but this time she was wrong. Hearing her question, Shi Nan just groaned a little and said, "I heard the uncle call him 'Gao Gonggong', that Lian Qing said that if the girl asked, he would answer like this, but if the girl still wants to know more details, I am afraid that he will have to let him for two days." ”
Chu Yixian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, it turned out to be him, no wonder.
"Tell him no." Gao Gonggong, who else can it be? Naturally, it was Gao Guangyun, the most useful chief eunuch in front of Emperor Chongming.
Since it was Gonggong Gao who went out in person, this matter was naturally appropriate.
Chu Yixian's mood had completely relaxed at this time, the smile on the corner of his mouth really cut two points, and said to Shi Nan, who was about to turn around and leave, "Take another twenty taels of silver to Lian Qing, and say that he did a good job on today's errand, and reward him." ”
When the twenty taels of silver were delivered to Lian Qing, it was already dawn. Lian Qing had just returned to their residence in the Great General's Mansion with Sun Tao.
Sending Shi Nan away politely, Lian Qing turned around and entered the house, and saw Sun Tao holding the silver ingot, looking at it with bright eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Brother Huzi, I'm not dreaming, am I? Is this really twenty taels? ”
In Zhuangzi, their family does farm work, and in addition to expenses, there is only a few hangs of money in a year, which is enough for the whole family to chew for a year.
These twenty taels...... For Sun Tao, it was really a huge amount of money, and he couldn't think of it before. Unexpectedly, he and Brother Huzi had only been in the city for a few days, not only did they eat and drink well in the house, but they also received such a rich reward from the girl in a blink of an eye.
So much so that Sun Tao didn't sleep all night, and the fatigue of running around for so long was gone, and he only felt that his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton.
Even Qing's always calm face showed two faint smiles, "Fool, is this happy?" In the future, as long as you follow the girl to do things well, such rewards will only be more, not less. ”
Sun Tao listened and nodded vigorously, Brother Hu Zi was right.
Lian Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, but quickly straightened his expression and said, "Okay, hurry up and clean up and sleep for a while, wake up, and then you will take five taels of silver and go buy some steamed buns......"
Sun Tao was stunned, "What are you doing with so many steamed buns?" ”
"What do you think the girl asked us to do in the restaurant that will be opened in the future?" Lian Qing was very patient with Sun Tao.
Sun Tao thought about it and shook his head. Working in a restaurant, naturally, is to run the hall and do chores, what else can it be for? But obviously, Brother Hu Zi asked this, and it didn't mean so simply.
Lian Qing sighed, "Ergou, you need to remember that if the girl treats us well, we must match the value of the girl treating us well." ”
Chu Yixian also didn't sleep peacefully until almost dawn.
When I woke up at night, I heard that Chu Yu came back in the afternoon, and he had already gone back to his room and slept.
And the two boys from Zhuangzi were afraid that they were dazzled by the girl's bounty, so they actually bought two baskets of steamed buns and went to the beggars in the south of the city.
Chu Yixian listened, pursed his red lips and smiled slightly, his eyes flashed like a floating light, "The silver was rewarded to them, and they have the final say on how they like to use it!" Let them go! ”
He Que pouted unconvinced, "Don't you just want to beg in front of the girl?" The girl had clothes and quilts brought to the Salesian House on the front foot, and he sent steamed buns to the beggar on the back foot. It looks pretty honest...... In fact, the scheming can be deep, and the stomach is bad! ”
In the mansion of the Marquis of Ningyuan, Yan Chi was reclining on a chair, fiddling with a Western pocket watch in his hand, as if he was very interested, so he almost opened it to see what was going on.
In the end, he finally looked away, but he said twice, "Don't say it, this Westerner's thing is wonderful......"
He didn't hear any movement, so he remembered that he was on duty with Guan Shan today, and when he raised his head, he saw an iceberg face that looked like Guan He, but would never be mistaken for it.
A pair of narrow black eyes narrowed lazily, "You just said that there was some movement in the palace last night?" ”
"Yes! Gao Gonggong took a team of people out of the palace and went to Fan Ji Restaurant on Jinjue Street. ”
"Went to Golden Jue Street?" Yan Chi was surprised for a moment, but only for a moment, he just threw it away, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty has something to do, tell our people to be vigilant, if someone finds out, a crime of peeping into the palace is not a joke." ”
The tone that seemed to be smiling was a little cold.
Guan Shan responded, "I didn't want to disturb the lord with this, but before Gonggong Gao left the palace, the eldest prince of Chu entered the palace, and later, he went out of the palace with Gonggong Gao and went to Fan Ji Restaurant." ”
"Grand Prince Chu?" Yan Chi's eyebrows tightened this time, "Is it Chu Yixian's brother?" ”
Guan Shan Yimo, when did you become so unparticular? Actually call the girl's name? And...... When did you know the name of the eldest girl, did he accidentally miss something?
It's just that no matter how clouds and rain are in my heart, I can't see a single star on the surface of Guan Mountain.
"Yes." One word for flat plates, nothing else.
Yan Chi's face that he didn't care about suddenly changed, thinking of Chu Yixian's house in the backstreet alley of Jinjue Street, thinking of Fan Ji Restaurant, thinking of Chu Yu and Gao Gonggong who suddenly left the palace and went to Fan Ji Restaurant, he stretched his body, "Go check it!" ”
"Yes." Guan Shan was not very surprised, and when he turned around to leave, he hesitated slightly.
Yan Chi frowned, Guan Shan is usually very quiet and calm, not as noisy and gossip as Guan He, but there are bad times, such as now.
"Say whatever you want, can you hold back a fart?" Yan Xiaohou Ye has been in the military camp for a few years, and he is not at all afraid of the meat words and foul words in the mouths of those soldiers, and he is very familiar with them.
