Chapter 2068: Falling Money
That night, the streets of Kyoto were the most boiling night ever.
In Dali Temple, the Praetorian Guards were dispatched at the same time, not only to arrest the traitors who were caught, but all the officials involved in the rebellion were raided, and all the family members were arrested and taken to Dali Temple to be detained, waiting for the fate.
Even the inn where Lin Mei lived did not stop, and the officers and soldiers who searched it were wave after wave, and they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of a single person.
Nighthawk is a seven-foot man and has good skills, but unfortunately his identity is not visible, if it weren't for Lin Meiken's spending money, he would have been arrested as a traitor.
"Sixi, write down the silver, and settle it with Qi Niang when the time comes." Lin Mei yawned, left a word, and planned to go back to sleep.
Sixi covered his mouth and responded.
"......" Nighthawk frowned, those who are rich are uncles!
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, as a businessman's acumen, Lin Mei called Shi Laosan to the room early in the morning to discuss important matters.
"After a night of fuss last night, what do you have to inspire?" There was a tentative tone in his tone.
Enlighten? Shi Laosan was stunned.
"Say you're stupid, don't be unconvinced, the officials who fell last night, who doesn't have an acre and three points of land, even if these things are taken away by the officials, there are always fish that slip through the net, you have to deal with them more these days, see if you can pick some cheap." Lin Mei said with a smile.
Shi Laosan was obviously stunned for a short time, and even thought that he had misheard.
"How can there be such a good thing?"
"Just try it! It's a great opportunity to make money. Lin Mei is very sure, for the sake of him running along, he can't let him run in vain, and there will be no suspicion if everyone earns money together; What's more, if the Shi family becomes an imperial merchant, there must be a place in Kyoto.
The witty Shi Laosan was really moved, thinking about the little silver in his purse, he held his breath, and said stubbornly: "When I went out, my eldest brother only gave me five hundred taels of silver, plus the jade pendant on my body, I can still make up a thousand taels of silver...... Otherwise, Lin Gongzi will lend me a little first. ”
Lin Mei nodded and said simply: "Okay, the silver is not a problem, but you have to bring the news back to share." ”
Shi Laosan reacted, this is her real purpose. But when I think about it, I don't have anything to lose, so I'm relieved.
For several days in a row, Lin Mei took Sixi to leisurely stroll through the streets and alleys, from food to clothing, and occasionally followed Shi Laosan to see shops or houses, but if there was a title deed, she bought it on the same day, and went to the yamen to go through the transfer procedures.
When Liu Dawu listened to the report of his subordinates, he only felt that this girl was really cute, at this critical juncture, who didn't hold the money bag tightly, but it was her, and she lost the money, and she didn't forget to do business at this time. But this also reminded me that this is a good opportunity to make a fortune, and it is still above board, and I am not afraid of checking, secretly thinking about it, I can't help but laugh.
……
At noon, the sky was full of dark clouds, the weather was sultry, and a storm was about to fall sharply.
A woman hurried back with her attendants, but she didn't want the pouring rain, so she said it would fall.
"Madame, there is a wonton shop in front, let's go in and hide."
At this time, a group of people gathered here one after another, and the small storefront soon could not hold more people.
The heavy rain accompanied by the strong wind blew on the wet body, and it was still a little cold.
"Master, this rain can't stop for a while, I see that there are only two girls over there, or let's go share a table and drink some hot soup to go cold."
Yahuan's suggestion made her a little moved.
The woman frowned, but saw that there were no more empty seats in the shop, and couldn't help but nod.
"Girl, if you don't mind, can we share a table."
Lin Mei was drinking the chicken soup wonton in the middle of the soup legend, and when she looked up, she saw a girl looking at herself with sincere eyes and a smile, and couldn't help but nodded: "You are free!" ”
The woman ordered a bowl of chicken soup wontons and sat down next to Lin Mei's right, "Thank you so much!" ”
Lin Mei looked at the woman, and the woman also looked at her, always feeling that they had seen the same somewhere, but the two of them smiled in unison.
People with fate, no matter how many times they rub shoulders, they will always meet.
"Are you Manniang?" Lin Mei smiled slightly.
"Forgive me, the girl looks familiar, but I don't know where we've seen it before?" Manniang said without changing her face.
"It's not possible, it's just that I've heard that Chang'an's Manniang is exactly the same as my cousin's head, I didn't believe it, if it wasn't for such a coincidence today, I still didn't believe it, so I dared to ask."
Manniang smiled lightly: "Really? That's a coincidence! ”
It's not surprising that people are similar, but it's a bit surprising that they're exactly the same, and they're not twins.
Could the cousin in her mouth be Xi'er? A bold thought popped up, and even he was startled, but thinking of his father and sister, who had not heard from him for all these years, he couldn't bear the thoughts in his heart, and asked abruptly: "I wonder if the girl can tell you your cousin's name?"
After saying that, I felt that it was too ridiculous, according to the temperament of that poisonous woman, how could I easily let go of my sister's cash cow! I don't know where Xi'er is suffering now.
Lin Mei also thought about how to ask her about her life experience, whether she was Xi'er's sister and uncle's lost daughter, but she couldn't think about it, she couldn't hold her breath more than herself.
However, he still leaned his head over and whispered: "My cousin's surname is Wu Dan's name, and he has a Xi character." ”
"Bang Dang~"
Manniang was so excited that she stood up suddenly, her elbow just hit the shop boy who delivered the food, and a bowl of chicken soup wontons scattered all over the ground, and even the bowl was shattered.
Sixi has already dropped her jaw in shock, the eldest lady is too taboo, how can she casually say the second lady's name.
Seeing her expression, it was not difficult for Lin Mei to guess her true identity, but looking at the eyes cast around, she hurriedly pulled her to sit down, turned her head and said to the shopkeeper: "Let's make a new bowl and pay it together with the silver for this bowl." ”
The shop boy is feeling innocent and overwhelmed. Hearing this, he hurriedly nodded in thanks, cleaned up the debris on the ground, and quickly retreated.
Manniang restrained her emotions, and then took a serious look at her dress and jewelry, Suzhou's Yunjin, a simple jade flute but with an extraordinary texture, no one hundred and eighty taels can't be bought, when did the Wu family have such generous relatives?
"I'll tell you the joke, I left home at a young age, and I have been separated from my sister for many years, but I didn't expect that my cousin not only looks very similar to me, but even her name is exactly the same as my sister, which is really a coincidence, if I have the opportunity, I would like to invite the girl to my house with her cousin to enjoy the flowers." Manniang casually stroked a strand of ear hair hanging down.
Go to the Rongguo Mansion, if you accidentally bump into Uncle Yang, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, Lin Mei shook her head and refused without thinking about it, "You don't have to be tempted, my mother's surname is Wu, and Xi'er is my uncle's orphan, who entrusted it to my father when he was dying." If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me directly, you don't have to beat around the bush and waste time! ”
That's right, the Wu family does have an aunt and grandmother who married in other places, and I heard that the man's family conditions are good, so I think she said it was true.
