Chapter 267: I Don't Care
One word after another, coming out of Wei Pingchuan's mouth, they were all serious.
Qingwan's heart blossomed, and the corners of her mouth were about to grin to the sky.
Wei Pingchuan, that is the richest man in Xishan, this dowry, Qingjuan has to buy it well, and blind some people's dog eyes.
Thinking of Luo Qinghua's small eyes, she immediately stared at her in amazement like a copper bell, and Qingwan laughed out loud.
"It seems that my proposal, the old girl agreed. There is no evidence to say it, let's set up a note, in black and white, so as not to have some quarrels when we get it. ”
After speaking, Wei Pingchuan instructed his subordinates to take a pen and paper from the innkeeper, spread it on the table, and with a stroke of the pen, a loom contract was generated.
Wei Pingchuan picked up the contract, blew the ink stains that had not yet dried with his mouth, looked at the handwriting on it, and smiled with satisfaction.
Habitually reaching out and handing over the contract, Wei Pingchuan remembered that Qingwan was a rough girl in the countryside, how could she be literate.
He sneered and said, "I'm sorry, I'll call the innkeeper to show you what I wrote." If you agree, let's draw the press seal, how about it? After speaking, Wei Pingchuan beckoned to the second junior of the running hall.
"No, I still know these words."
Qingwan stopped Wei Pingchuan, snatched a contract in his hand, spread it on the table, and read it carefully from beginning to end. Finally raised his head, "Master Wei, you really do business with integrity, no wonder you can manage your business so well." I'm just a country girl, and you didn't lie to me in the slightest. This contract is clearly written, and it is not far from what we agreed on. Admire! However, this contract is still troublesome for Master Wei to write another copy, one for you and me. ”
After speaking, Qingwan gave Wei Pingchuan a thumbs up again. Then he took the ink and pressed a red finger print on the contract.
At this moment, it was Wei Pingchuan's turn to widen his eyes.
This girl is not only literate, but also understands the rules of making a contract?
Interesting!
Wei Pingchuan saw that there was a bit of exploration in Qingwan's eyes.
Wei Pingchuan didn't expect that when Qingwan and Wu Wen stayed in the imperial city, they had nothing to do, so they followed a female official in the palace to learn to read and write, although there were not many, and they were commonly used.
The contract should be held separately, and it was also learned from those merchants in the capital.
Unexpectedly, casual learning came in handy today.
So, sometimes, it's not that you won't succeed, it's that you don't know how to prepare.
Seeing that Wei Pingchuan was still stunned, Qingwan reminded him. Wei Pingchuan was stunned and hurriedly wrote the second contract. The two of them each pressed their handprints on the contract and left a copy each.
"Master Wei, your handwriting is so beautiful!"
Qingwan folded the contract and carefully put it in her arms. raised his head and smiled at Wei Pingchuan, and blurted out the words of compliment.
Don't look at Qing Juan's big grin on weekdays, and sometimes her carefulness is beyond the reach of many people. I have long seen this, Wei Pingchuan likes to show off his literary talent.
Sure enough, Qingwan's sycophant, Wei Pingchuan, who was filmed, was extremely comfortable and laughed.
"Hahaha, girl, this contract has been signed. You can buy and choose your dowry at any time. Now why don't you go to my house with me, take the hundred taels of silver first, and go home to buy land and build a house for your father? With you, a filial daughter, your father and mother really don't know what blessings they cultivated in their previous lives. ”
After Wei Pingchuan finished speaking, he stood up and led the way.
There is another opportunity to make a lot of money, and Wei Pingchuan is also happy.
Qingwan responded to Wei Pingchuan's words, wiped Wu Wen's mouth clean, pulled him up and followed Wei Pingchuan.
The innkeeper and the junior second who ran the hall saw that Wei Pingchuan was polite to Qingwan, and walked out of the door, and they were dumbfounded.
Wei Pingchuan, the richest man in Xishan County, talked about cooperation with a country girl, and the negotiation was completed! What kind of world is this?
Qingwan's eyes only looked at Wei Pingchuan in front of him, for fear of losing it. But on his back, he could feel the innkeeper's astonished gaze. Qingwan ignored it and didn't turn her head to look.
It's not just the innkeeper and the juniors who run the hall, they have been staring at Qingwan and Wu Wen.
At a corner of the inn to the street, there was a man frowning, and he kept seeing the back of them leaving after coming out of the inn.
It turned out to be Richie.
In the past few days, I have not found any useful information about the second prince. Yesterday, when Li Qi was eating at the restaurant, a few people next to him chatted while eating, saying that there was a family in Yazikou, who picked up a child from the capital 20 years ago, and now he is seriously ill, and the family is kind and wants to find his biological parents to see him for the last time.
Early this morning, Li Qi went out early, ready to try his luck and see what he had to do with the second prince.
If it is really the second prince, then it is even better, there is no need for Li Qi to do it, and this major matter is solved.
It's just that before Li Qi passed, the man had already lost his breath yesterday.
The old couple told the truth under the coercion and temptation of Rich, the dead man was their biological son at all, but because he was infected all the year round, he couldn't find a doctor everywhere, and it seemed that he was becoming more and more useless. Later, at the instigation of one of their relatives, they made up such a reason to deceive sympathy, but they just wanted to see if they could find a better Langzhong, but as a result, the news only spread a few days ago, and their medicine pot son did not survive and died.
The young man stopped in the middle of the hall in the middle of their house, and Richie uncomfortably lifted his face towel and glanced at it. Although the dead man's eyes were closed, the outline of his facial features was the same as that of the old man.
Li Qi passed early in the morning, got such news, and met the dead man, only to touch his brows. The mood suddenly changed very badly, and on the way back, Li Qi took a few sips in the direction of the family.
didn't want to go out again, Li Qi wanted to go back to the inn to make up for his sleep, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned out of the alley, he ran into Wei Pingchuan leading Qingjuan and Wu Wen forward.
When Li Qi arrived in Xishan County, it was not a matter of one or two days, not to mention the mission here, this Wei Pingchuan naturally did not escape his investigation.
Like the innkeeper, Li Qi was also very puzzled that Wei Pingchuan, the richest man in Xishan County, was so interested in a little girl. But Li Qi's eyes have always fallen on Coco Wu.
This fool, although he is not very imaginary with the three princes. But there is a kind of charm between the eyebrows, which is very similar to the three princes and the emperor. and this back, walking demeanor, Li Qi, who has followed the three princes for many years, must be not much different from the three princes in his heart.
Qingwan and Wu Wen had already gone far away, and Li Qi was still standing in place and could see his eyes.
Following Wei Pingchuan's footsteps, Qingwan and Wu Wen followed behind, and soon arrived at Wei Pingchuan's mansion.
Just looking at the gate is not ordinary, the high lintel, the style is extraordinary, there is a black plaque in the middle of the gate, and the words "Wei Fu" are written in gold paint on it.
The eaves are all glazed with gold patterns, and the sunlight shines on them, making them look brilliant.
A pair of tall stone unicorns were placed on both sides of the door, and there were two family members standing at the gate.
Seeing Wei Pingchuan come back, the two family members bent down respectfully and called "master" in their mouths
"Hmm"
Wei Pingchuan said softly, and agreed to the greetings of the family, stepped over the threshold, and walked in.
Qing Wan was behind, and he also pulled Wu Wen into the gate of the Wei Mansion.
If this was an ordinary person, he would have been frightened by the momentum of the Wei Mansion a long time ago. Qingwan had the experience of living in the imperial city, and he didn't think so.
Although this Wei Mansion is magnificent, it is naturally far worse than the Imperial Palace.
Qingwan's demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, Wei Pingchuan saw it in his eyes, and muttered for a while in his heart.
Along the way, Coco Wu was looking around, and Qingwan could only hold Coco Wu's hand tightly. This scene widened the eyes of the girls and subordinates in the Wei Mansion.
As the saying goes, this man and woman are not intimate, even if they are husband and wife, they are only so close in the boudoir. This little girl, in broad daylight, dared to pull a tall and strong man in front of everyone, and she was really bold.
When he arrived at the hall of the Wei Mansion, Wei Pingchuan asked the housekeeper to take a hundred taels of silver for Qingjuan, and wrapped it tightly with a baggage.
Qingwan took it and thanked him.
Now that the money has been received, there is no need to stay here, and it is better to rush home as soon as possible.
Qingwan pulled Wu Wen to stand up, thanked Wei Pingchuan again, and turned around and walked out.
Seeing Qingwan and Wu Wen walking to the door, Wei Pingchuan stopped her again: "Old girl Qing, this silver is the money for your family to buy land and build a house, so be careful along the way." I won't keep you today, and you can go back early while it's still early. Next time you come to this Xishan County, you are welcome to come to my house as a guest at any time. ”
Wei Pingchuan's words were all polite.
A girl from the countryside has such courage and clarity, which makes Wei Pingchuan more and more unable to understand her.
Maybe, this girl's future income is immeasurable and can't be said.
Qing Juan took the silver and stepped out of the gate of the Wei Mansion with Wu Wen.
Hahaha, I finally achieved my mother's wish.
With excitement in her heart, Qingwan pulled up Wu Wen and ran happily.
Seeing the surprised eyes of the pedestrians along the way, Qingwan stopped, stretched out his tongue, and quietly pressed the burden on his shoulder.
You can't be too ostentatious, but you still have a hundred taels of silver on your back.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Qingwan pretended to be indifferent, took Wu Wen's hand, and walked swaggering on Shunping Street as usual.
After leaving the city and estimating the time of touching half a pillar of incense, Qingwan suddenly remembered something, and pulled Wu Wen back to the county seat.
"Auntie, this copper coin is for you, the money for baking cakes last time."
Qingwan took ten copper plates from his pocket and put them on the baked cake stand.
It turned out that while walking just now, Qingwan felt that her stomach seemed to be a little hungry. I rushed here without breakfast today, and I took a few bites of the steamed buns in Wu Wen's hand at the Wu family, and after walking such a long way, that little bit had already been digested.
