Chapter 17: Sitting on the Ground
A little surprise flashed in Yu Molan's eyes, so early in the morning, Nangong Jing came here with great fanfare, just to send her a monthly example?
Walking out of the house quickly, I saw several guards who usually protected her and Nuan'er carrying three large boxes and putting them in the courtyard, and Nangong Jing also beat them out and stood at the door.
He himself has a pair of deep and good-looking eyes, and his dark clothes look even more noble, with a hint of deep atmosphere.
The man's thin lips opened slightly, and he glanced at Yu Molan, "That's 10,000 taels of silver, and this king promised you that there will be no less." ”
"What the prince promised the people is five thousand taels of silver a month."
Yu Molan's reason was terrible, and she was not confused because it was 10,000 taels of silver, let alone open her eyes to money.
"It was this king who broke the contract at the beginning, and it was also this king who asked you to take care of Nuan'er again, and the extra five thousand taels are liquidated damages."
Nangong Jing explained in a rare and good-natured way, the reason why he sent silver to Yu Molan like this was to see what this woman needed so much silver for!
The six guards were ostensibly to protect Nuan'er's safety, but in fact, they were also monitoring Yu Molan.
This month, although Yu Molan didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, and she didn't have close contact with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she still needed so much silver, which was weird.
"Thank you Lord Wang, but the folk girl is disrespectful."
Yu Molan blessed her body slightly, and thanked Nangong Jing with a simple salute.
A month ago, Nangong Jing returned the 5,000 taels of liquidated damages she paid, and now with the addition of this 10,000 taels, as well as the money saved from the wonton stall, she can redeem Linxiu Pavilion!
"Lord Wang, the folk girl has a reluctant request."
Yu Molan didn't want to delay for a moment, Linxiu Pavilion was the only thing left by her mother, plus she was a modern person, in order to inherit Shu embroidery, she had to quickly redeem Linxiu Pavilion.
"Say." Nangong is calm and relaxed, just waiting for Yu Molan's words.
"Today, I am tired of the prince to accompany Nuan'er, and the folk girl has some private matters that need to be dealt with."
Nangong Jing's thin lips pursed slightly, and his smile was awe-inspiring.
Good one, private matter!
"Yes, in order for you not to have an accident, those guards still follow you, Nuan'er needs you."
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
Yu Molan didn't think too much about it, and when she saw Nangong Jing leave the alley with Nuan'er, who was still asleep, she entered the house to find Chen Ling.
"Today, we can redeem the Linxiu Pavilion."
She was a little excited, and her voice trembled slightly.
Chen Ling also sat up straight excitedly, some tears accumulated in his eyes, "Really? ”
"It's true, just now the prince sent 10,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels is my monthly rule, and the other 5,000 taels is liquidated damages, and the money earned by our wonton stall over the years is enough to redeem Linxiu Pavilion."
"Then I'll go with you!"
Chen Ling rushed to Yu Molan, and the two of them hugged tightly.
Only she knows how hard it has been for Yu Molan to redeem Linxiu Pavilion in the past few years.
"Your legs are convenient, I'll just go alone." Yu Mo Lan is difficult.
"Who said that, I can, I'll go and give you confidence, when will we leave?"
While speaking, Chen Ling had already jumped out of bed, and Xiao Chengyao, who came in from outside, was also a little anxious when he saw this scene.
"Miss Chen, you can't do this!"
Where can Chen Ling manage so much, "You give me some painkillers, I have to go out today." ”
After Xiao Chengyao inquired, he knew that Yu Molan was going to redeem the Linxiu Pavilion, and it turned out that she was so good at embroidery because of this.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Chengyao made a decision, "I'll go with you, the 10,000 taels are cash, and nothing can go wrong." ”
Chen Ling seconded, "That's it, this is what we have struggled for a long time to get, we must be cautious, but unfortunately, my leg is like this, I can't go with you." ”
Yu Molan considered the proposal of the two of them, asked the six guards to pull three boxes of silver, and took all the silver tickets she had saved, and went to the Linxiu Pavilion with Xiao Chengyao.
Now it is a merchant in charge of Linxiu Pavilion, and Linxiu Pavilion does not have particularly outstanding embroiderers, so it has been half-dead, as for profit or loss, she does not know.
Linxiu Pavilion is located in the most prosperous place of Hangzhou West Street, in the past, many dignitaries and nobles would come to the Xiuge Pavilion to customize clothes, or embroidery, as a particularly rare gift to others.
Nowadays, when it comes to Linxiu Pavilion, a passerby will sigh.
When they arrived at the door of the Linxiu Pavilion, the miscellaneous man yelled, "What are you doing, don't get in the way of the Linxiu Pavilion!" ”
Yu Molan walked up elegantly, facing the guy, the calmness in her bones made the guy tremble.
"Let's find your shopkeeper and talk about the acquisition of Linxiu Pavilion."
The guy was cold, "The tone is not small, do you know how much silver you need to buy the Linxiu Pavilion?" ”
Thirty thousand taels! A full 30,000 taels, an ordinary person has to struggle for at least ten years!
And the woman in front of her was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she looked like a girl who had not left the cabinet, and she didn't know where she got such a big breath.
"Since I'm here, I'm ready, please go to your shopkeeper to talk."
After Yu Molan finished speaking, she wanted to enter the Linxiu Pavilion, but the guy sneered, and then said sarcastically, "Just like you, how can you be rich?" Still wishful thinking about buying Linxiu Pavilion? Get out of here, or I'm not welcome to you! ”
The guy almost kicked Yu Molan and Xiao Chengyao and left.
Yumo Lansen took a breath, today was the big day for her to redeem the Linxiu Pavilion, and she didn't want to be angry.
Turning around and beckoning, six guards immediately walked over.
The miscellaneous guy glanced at the guards brought by Yu Molan a few times, and he was still an official, and he panicked all of a sudden, and his attitude immediately changed.
He flatteringly made a gesture of "please", "I'll go and find our shopkeeper for the girl, and the girl will wait for a moment." ”
The corners of Yu Molan's lips were slightly hooked, and she patiently waited for the shopkeeper to appear in the Linxiu Pavilion.
The miscellaneous man went for a while, turned all the way straight into a room from behind, and made a quick report.
"Shopkeeper Liu, someone wants to buy Linxiu Pavilion."
The shopkeeper was also stunned for a moment, and a trace of joy flashed on his face.
Someone is finally going to take over the mess of Linxiu Pavilion!
He hurriedly asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”
"It's a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, and a couple of men and women."
"Sixteen or Seventeen Years ......"
The shopkeeper muttered to himself, gently opened the window from the second floor, and when he saw the appearance of the woman downstairs clearly, then his face was solemn, and then a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Just say I'm not there." ”
The man understood, and the shopkeeper told the man that he was going to the capital, and no matter what the people outside said during this period, he should not agree.
After a few moments, the man came out of the house with a sneer.
"Girl, it's really unfortunate that you came, a quarter of an hour ago, our shopkeeper went to the capital to do business, and it may take five or six hours to come back."
Hangzhou is far from the capital, and it takes three hours to speed up the horse, and it takes at least six hours to come and go.
Hearing this, Yu Molan's slender brows frowned, and she smiled stubbornly, "We can wait." ”
……
Prime Minister's Office.
Liu He rushed all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was taken to the inner hall by Tingxue, the eldest maid of the Prime Minister's wife.
The woman sitting on the main seat is graceful and luxurious, the makeup on her face is exquisite, and her gestures have a kind of nobility.
"What's the urgency to come in person?"
"Mrs. Hui, you guessed correctly before, that little girl really came over with 30,000 taels and said that she wanted to buy Linxiu Pavilion."
Xia Xue's originally calm face was a little more surprised, it was just fleeting, and she looked at Liu He with a smile.
"I underestimated this little slut, but in two years, 30,000 taels were raised."
Liu Or cautiously asked, "Then shall we sell it?" ”
Who knows, Xia Xue didn't answer directly, but said a word, and suddenly heard irrelevant words.
"Recently, Yu'er lost 100,000 taels of silver in gambling......"
Liu Or has been by Xia Xue's side for many years, how can he not know the meaning of Xia Xue's words?
"Madam, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter properly."
The corners of Xia Xue's lips hooked up with a touch of pride, and a trace of madness flashed in her eyes.
She wants to let that little slut see but not get what her slut left behind!
……
Tea continued cup after cup, night, gradually heavier.
The miscellaneous guy stood in front of Xiao Chengyao and Yu Molan in embarrassment, "This girl, it's time for us to close, do you want to come back tomorrow?" ”
Xiao Chengyao next to him stood up with a serious face.
"Doesn't that mean you'll be back in five or six hours? But it's night, and your shopkeeper hasn't come back yet. Or are you lying to us all along? ”
The guy hurriedly waved his hand: "How come, Linxiu Pavilion has been in business for so many years, and this integrity is still there." ”
Xiao Chengyao snorted coldly, showing that he didn't believe it.
The guy didn't want to offend Xiao Chengyao and Yu Molan, and he didn't want to wait with them all the time.
He yawned and said, "Since the two of you plan to wait, you can only bend down here and wait." The little one couldn't hold it anymore and slept first. ”
After saying that, he sat down on the counter and fell asleep.
Yu Molan looked at the sky outside and couldn't help but worry in her heart.
She has been out for so long, and she doesn't know what happened to Nuan'er.
Will you cry?
However, the prince didn't send anyone to look for her for so long, maybe Nuan'er was taken care of by the Xu family, or not necessarily.
And so on, another night passed.
When the morning sun of the next day climbed into the eastern sky, the shopkeeper appeared, touching the mustache and smiling hypocritically.
"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!"
Seeing that the shopkeeper finally appeared, Yu Molan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shopkeeper, you said before that as long as I prepare 30,000 taels of silver, you can sell Linxiu Pavilion to me, and now, the silver is ready, you can take a look."
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper sat in front of Yu Molan, so it was difficult.
"Miss Yu, I'm really embarrassed, 30,000 taels was the previous market, plus recently my mother was seriously ill and urgently needed silver taels. Therefore, this Linxiu Pavilion can only be sold for at least 100,000 taels of silver. ”
What the?
100,000 taels!
Yu Molan's figure swayed slightly.
Xiao Chengyao, who had been sitting quietly on the side, saw this and hurriedly supported Yu Molan.
People who are gentle and warm on weekdays also have a slight anger on their faces at this time.
"You're sitting on the ground."
