Chapter 23: The Folk Girl Asks for Something
For seven or eight days in a row, Yu Molan was busy going out early and returning late to think about 100,000 taels of silver.
Every time Nangong Jing came to see Nuan'er, he basically couldn't see Yu Molan.
Seeing that the ten-day period was coming, Yu Molan ran around without success, she was a little sad, and when she went back, it happened that Nangong Jing had not left yet.
The man has an extraordinary bearing, a long figure, and wears a moon-white robe, like a fairy.
Yu Molan paused, she saluted, and saw Nangong Jing coming over and standing in front of her.
The distance between the two was so close that even the breath of each other could be felt.
Yu Molan took a step back, "Lord Wang? ”
She has taken good care of Nuan'er recently, and even her pronunciation and speech have improved a lot, so there should be nothing worth Nangong Jing making a special trip to Xingshi to ask about the guilt.
"Are you hiding from this king?"
Yu Molan was stunned, she had every opportunity to hide from Nangong Jing for the sake of 100,000 taels of silver?
She smiled, "No, the prince has thought too much." ”
Nangong Jing didn't believe it, he felt that Yu Molan was avoiding him because of the sunset, and he gave her a ferry to her.
He snorted coldly and said condescendingly.
"Don't worry, this king doesn't have any thoughts about you, and he only saved you for warmth."
Yu Molan: "......"
Yu Molan felt speechless in her heart, this man really thought he was fragrant?
But on the face, she still pretended to be very cooperative: "The folk girl understands that if there is nothing else, the folk girl will go to prepare food for Nuan'er first." ”
Nangong Jingjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, understanding that he was still avoiding him?
Looking at Yu Molan's back, Nangong Jing beckoned to a few guards not far away, motioned for them to come over, and then asked, "What has Yu Molan been busy with lately?" ”
"Back to the prince, the jade girl is busy raising money."
"What are you doing with money?"
"The jade girl wants to redeem the Linxiu Pavilion, it was originally 30,000 taels of silver, but the shopkeeper of the Linxiu Pavilion sat on the ground and asked for 100,000 taels, and the jade girl did not have enough silver, so she was running around for the silver."
Linxiu Pavilion?
A glimmer of light flashed in Nangong Jing's eyes, as far as he knew, wasn't that run by the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Yu Molan, the dignified eldest lady, spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy a worthless shop from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
This silver goes from the left pocket to the right pocket, what trick is the Prime Minister's Mansion playing?
……
Night.
Yu Molan has been tossing and turning, and the warm children around her rely on her, so she has to grab one of her arms when she sleeps, and the child's body has a faint milky fragrance, which is a little refreshing.
She lay flat and thought about it many times, there was only one way but to rob and get ill-gotten gains quickly.
That is to find Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing has that financial resources and that power.
With Nangong Jing in charge, redeeming Linxiu Pavilion is a breeze.
Therefore, early the next morning, Yu Molan waited quietly in the courtyard for Nangong Jing to come and visit Nuan'er.
She had all the things she wanted to say, including that if anything happened in the future, it would be okay for her to give her life.
When Nangong came, he discovered the abnormality of Yu Molan, but he was silent.
Just playing with Nuan'er, the weather is excellent, looking at it like this, Nuan'er seems to be a little fatter than a few days ago.
Nangong Jing's eyes were soft, he was half-squatting, and a shadow was approaching behind him, and he stood up slowly.
Yu Molan stood beside Nangong Jing and saluted slightly, "Lord Wang, the people have something to ask for." ”
"What's the matter?"
"The maiden urgently needs 70,000 taels of silver, I wonder if it is convenient for the prince to borrow it?"
Nangong Jing's eyebrows jumped, and he turned to look at Yu Molan with burning eyes, "What is the use of asking for so much silver?" ”
"Redeem the Linxiu Pavilion."
Nangong Jing asked lightly, "Why did this king help you?" ”
Yu Molan pursed her lips, and then said slowly: "The prince's right is regarded as an investment, and after the people's daughter makes money in the embroidery pavilion, she will return it to the prince with interest." ”
Investment, with principal and interest?
"Money is something outside the body, and this king is not rare."
Nangong Jing flicked his sleeves neatly, passed by Yu Molan expressionlessly, and went to hug Nuan'er, who was having fun.
Yu Molan dared to walk over and stop Nangong Jing's steps, with a serious face.
"As long as the prince lends 70,000 taels to the people's daughter today, the people's daughter will unconditionally agree to the prince's three things."
But Nangong Jing was still unmoved, Yu Molan clasped her hands tightly, and said, "Plus one life." ”
One life!
Nangong Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became more and more curious, who left the Linxiu Pavilion?
Why did she care so much?
Although Nuan'er is still young and doesn't understand what they are talking about, she is very good at observing words and feelings.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she was a little anxious, and waved her little hand on Nangong Jing's face, with disgust, "Bully my mother!" ”
was slapped by Nuan'er, Nangong Jing was helpless, and then he said: "This king promised to lend you 70,000 taels of silver, the premise is that even if you redeem Linxiu Pavilion and are busy with the affairs of Linxiu Pavilion, you must not ignore Nuan'er, and you can't miss Nuan'er's company for a moment." ”
Yu Molan raised her head in surprise, her eyes flashed, and she nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"The king will send someone to bring the money." With that, he left the place.
When only she and Nuan'er were left in the courtyard, Yu Molan took Nuan'er's little hand and smiled sweetly.
"Nuan'er, thank you for helping me just now."
Yu Molan knew that if it wasn't for Nuan'er just now, Nangong Jing wouldn't help her.
Nuan'er opened her mouth and giggled.
Yu Molan gently held Nuan'er in her arms and asked gently: "Do you want to eat osmanthus porridge, my mother will make it for you." ”
"Eat."
As long as Yu Molan took the initiative to bring it up, Nuan'er was very excited.
In the kitchen, Nuan'er was drawing on the paper with a well-behaved charcoal pen on the side, and Yu Molan was tinkering with the fire.
At this moment, Xiao Chengyao's hurried voice came from outside.
"Mo Lan!"
Yu Molan put down the work at hand, and when she opened the door, she saw Xiao Chengyao sweating profusely, pointing to a carriageway at the door: "Mo Lan, I made up 10,000 taels for you!" ”
Yu Molan was a little surprised, she really didn't expect that Xiao Chengyao would help her make up the money!
She thanked her seriously, "Imperial Doctor Xiao, thank you for your kindness, but I have already scraped together enough money, I really appreciate it." ”
Got enough money?
The joy on Xiao Chengyao's face disappeared completely, and he knelt at home all night for the ten thousand taels of silver before he asked for his father's consent.
already had the answer in his brain, knowing who helped Yu Molan make up the 70,000 taels, Xiao Chengyao still stubbornly asked, "Who is it?" ”
Yu Molan nodded, "Lord Wang." ”
Xiao Chengyao's hand hidden under the wide cuffs clenched tightly into a fist, and his heart was sour.
If he is the son-in-law of the family, is it......
He can also be like the eldest brother, what does he want to do, as soon as he opens his mouth, there are countless people who will send him silver taels?
