The noble son waited for a long time and didn't see the pomegranate come back, and he knew that people had avoided him, so he was a little unhappy.

He pointed to checkers with an unhappy face, and asked Wei Youde, "How much is this silver coin in a box?" ”

"Eight hundred and eighty taels of silver for a box, we are all made of fine work, you see this chess piece, it is made of the best gems, and the box outside is made of camphor wood." Wei Youde said.

Pomegranate listened to the movement in the lobby at the door of the backyard, she was also afraid of offending people, not buying things is a trivial matter, if you annoy people and make trouble, they can't afford it.

At this time, I heard him ask the price, and thought that he might have to leave, so Pomegranate walked in lightly with lotus steps.

The noble prince looked at the pomegranate, turned his head to look at Wei Youde and said, "I want two boxes of this checkers, and then get me two boxes of that block." ”

He raised his hand and gestured at the pomegranate and said, "Let her come with me." ”

"Don't!" Pomegranate said with a look of horror.

Wei Youde looked at the pomegranate and asked her not to speak yet, he turned around and came back, and said with a smile: "She is our maid here, and it is a little inappropriate to go back with you." ”

The noble prince frowned and said, "What do you want? I asked her to teach the people in my house to play these things, not to rob the people's daughters. ”

Pomegranate's tense body loosened, fortunately she didn't rob the people's daughter, otherwise she would have been miserable.

Wei Youde immediately smiled and said, "You see that it is already night at this time, and you have been working hard all day, so it's time to rest." Why don't you let her go to your house tomorrow morning, don't you think? ”

Gui Gongzi got up and looked at the sky outside, it was indeed dark, he didn't expect to play for so long, he turned to Pomegranate and said, "Then tomorrow, give me the things, I should go back." ”

Wei Youde asked Yang Guang to go to the back and take out two boxes, and then said to your son: "You want two boxes of building blocks and two boxes of checkers, a total of two thousand and twenty taels of silver." ”

The noble prince turned his head and glanced at the attendant behind him, and the attendant hurriedly took out three silver tickets from his arms and gave them to Wei Youde, "Two thousand one hundred taels, please take it!" He said.

Wei Youde took it with both hands, and the other party didn't say change, so he didn't mention this stubble, and rashly brought it up to slap the nobleman in the face.

He turned around and handed it directly to Pomegranate, looked at the attendant and asked, "I don't know your surname?" Where will tomorrow teach? ”

"We belong to the Nine Princes' Mansion, this is our Nine Princes." The squire said.

Wei Youde heard that the person he came to be the Nine Princes, his legs were weak and he knelt down and said, "Xiaomin to meet the Nine Princes!" ”

The pomegranate pounced and knelt down, mother! It's actually a prince, I don't know if I offended him? She secretly prayed in her heart, this prince must not be a person with a small belly! Then her sin will be great, and maybe she will ruin the eldest lady's business.

Yang Guang and the others also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Murong Yan, the ninth prince, said, "Get up." I'll have someone pick him up tomorrow morning...... Pomegranate Girl. ”

After finishing speaking, Murong Yan, the ninth prince, strode outside.

Several of his attendants followed behind.

Wei Youde stood up and watched the people leave, then he exhaled, "We didn't say anything to offend the prince, right?" He said.

Pomegranate shook her head and said, "No." ”

Yang Guang said beside her: "Yes! ”

Wei Youde hurriedly asked, "Which one?" ”

"You didn't ask him to take the pomegranate girl away!" Yang Guang said with a smile.

Pomegranate turned her head and glared at him, "Are you looking for a fight?" ”

After Pomegranate came here, she had to practice the kung fu taught to her by Mi Zhu and Gong Yue every morning and evening, and sometimes she would also talk to Brother Yang Guang.

Yang Guang and the others naturally did not fight Pomegranate with all their strength, but they were all reserved subordinates who showed mercy and let her score three points.

Since then, Pomegranate has become more and more fearless, and often puts on the style of the big girl next to the young lady, instructing them to work and do things.

Wei Youde saw that they were about to fight again, and hurriedly asked Yang Guang to ask for a few dishes to come back, and suppressed the pomegranate.

"If you don't say that I don't feel anything, as soon as you say it, I feel hungry." Pomegranate looked at Yang Guang and said, "Why don't you go quickly, why are you standing here stupid?" ”

"Give me the money!" He said.

Wei Youde hurriedly touched four or five taels of silver from his body and gave it to him, sending him out quickly, don't mess with this girl again.

Yang Guang took the silver money and pulled Wang Qiang out.

Duan Jie had dinner with his wife Fan and two daughters, and went back to the study in the front yard to deal with some things.

He dealt with the affairs of the house in the study, and ordered a few things to be done urgently, so he asked a few stewards to withdraw.

Duan Jie got up and walked to a wall and stopped, staring at a rough map on the wall, searching for a while, and then resting on a place name.

Xuzhou.

Four days ago, the Mei family's four ships transporting silk passed through Suqian.

Duan Jie predicted that the Mei family's ship would arrive in Xuzhou today, and he didn't know if it would stop in Xuzhou or continue north.

He didn't hear that the Mei family had a relatively large warehouse in Xuzhou, only a large warehouse in Cangzhou, Hebei.

Could it be sent to Cangzhou?

Duan Jie moved his gaze to the north and found Cangzhou on it, he looked at Cangzhou and Xuzhou twice, and couldn't guess what the young lady of the Mei family wanted to do.

His instincts told him that the ships of silk that had been taken away were closely related to the previous bet.

Duan Jie slowly paced in the study, if he was the eldest lady of the Mei family, how could he win that bet?

Duan Jie paused, and slowly walked around again, if Miss Mei wanted to win that bet, she had to let the silk grow to sixty-one taels by the end of the year.

But this year's silk harvest has been abundant, so silk has fallen all the way, and if she wants to win the final victory, she must let those boats of silk disappear, so that the silk can stop falling and grow because of the lack of raw materials.

Duan Jie muttered: "Disappear, disappear ......"

His heart beat a little faster.

"Impossible! How could she let hundreds of thousands of taels of silver go down the drain! ”

Duan Jie stood still, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, "Someone, someone......" he shouted.

The steward Liao Fusheng came in and bowed down and said, "What does the master have to say?" ”

"I wrote to Huang Bingshan in Jinling, asking her to buy all the silk in the hands of the Mei family at any cost.

200,000 ...... Twenty-five...... No matter how much silver you use, you will definitely buy it. He said.

"Yes, that's ...... villain"

"Also, let those who are following the Mei family's boat stop the boat, and they must stop and watch. Go and ......" Duan Jie's solemn face was full of murderous aura.

Liao Fusheng didn't say anything more, turned around and went out.
