Chapter 53: Overjoyed
"Silk core, bring the silver!" Menghui immediately commanded behind him without thinking.
"Okay, Childe!" In the carriage behind him, a hoarse but coquettish female voice came from the horse.
Soon, one of them, who had been kneeling on the ground and licking her toes through her socks, walked over with a money bag in her hand.
She wears heavy makeup, her head is full of beaded flowers, her facial features are still marked, and her figure is not bad, but her neck is very long, like a giraffe, which looks a little discordant with her figure.
Xiao Qiongzhi didn't look at her carefully before, but now that she looks at it again, she finds that she and Wang Chunhua from Zhoujia Village actually look eight or nine points alike.
When she walked to Menghui's side, Xiao Qiongzhi asked curiously: "Big beauty, are you surnamed Wang?" ”
"No, you recognized the wrong person!" The long-necked woman's silk core was stunned for a moment, and then she turned her face coldly at Xiao Qiongzhi.
Xiao Qiongzhi was a little angry, and lowered his face to scold: "No, it's not, what are you doing at me?" ”
"That's it! You, you're really rude! Liang Kun has the same hatred, after all, Xiao Qiongzhi was brought by him, representing his face.
"Get on your knees!" Dream Hui also gave orders directly to the silk core.
Juanxin's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down obediently, and said to him timidly: "Master, don't believe this little girl's nonsense, I didn't have a straight face for her." ”
I guess she thought she was standing behind Menghui, and Menghui didn't see her just now, she looked like she had a straight face.
What a two-faced slut.
Xiao Qiongzhi was not angry, and said with some disgust: "Giraffe, your master must have spoiled you, so that you have the courage to be so honest in front of His Royal Highness Prince Kun, right?" ”
"It must be like this!" Liang Kun also thinks so.
He pointed to the silk core, looked at the dream return, and said very seriously: "Return to the king, this just made a face to the little princess of Zhi'er, I can see it clearly." She must be standing behind you to dare to say this to you! ”
"Hui Huijun, I also saw the silk core face at the little girl just now." At this time, one of the guards who was assisting Yu Long in the autopsy suddenly spoke.
It seems that he is also a little unaccustomed to the hypocrisy of the silk core.
Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at him approvingly, and then turned his head to look at Menghui, curious how Menghui would clean up the silk core.
Menghui also groaned a little, and said in a deep voice to the guards who had just spoken: "Yao Ping, in that case, you can take her to the post station in Quanpi Township and hire someone to send her back to Baishi County in an ox cart." ”
"Nope! Master, I was wrong! I didn't mean to lie to you! Please spare me this time, I'll never do it again next time-" Juanxin was frightened, and hurriedly pulled the placket of the clothes that Dream returned and begged for mercy.
Baishi County is about 300 miles away.
She is the concubine of Bai Songling, a famous and great sage in Baishi County.
Five days ago, Menghui passed through Baishi County, and was met by her father and invited to his home as a guest.
She inquired about Menghui's identity, and before he left the house, she deliberately pretended to pass by him, and suddenly fainted and fell into his arms.
Her father saw her thoughts, and had the heart to dream back, so he took the opportunity to give her to Menghui to be a concubine, and by the way, he gave her a dowry: three thousand taels of silver.
Dream back has not yet shirked.
Although, along the way, Menghui didn't take her back, but he handed over his money to her, and treated her like the other three women beside him, which can be regarded as a favor, and he doesn't have to worry about eating, and when he sees anything they may like, no matter how expensive or low, he will take the initiative to buy it for them.
If they persuaded him not to buy it, he said, "The money is gone, but Bo smiled."
Just ask, what other man in this world can be so caring as him? Willing to spend so much money for women?
The most important thing is that when he passed through Quanpi Township just now, he bought her a precious stone Jin Chuan worth at least one hundred taels of silver.
This is the only one, and the other three women are all small objects such as beaded flowers, hairpins, and hairpins, which are far inferior to hers.
She also thought that Menghui still valued her very much, but she didn't expect that she would not be wanted for such a trivial matter.
She was really unwilling.
However, Yao Ping didn't give her much of a chance.
He strode forward, clicked on her dumb, picked her up, carried light skills, and walked back.
"Now, little girl, tell me how many taels of silver I need to pay you before you can tell me about some of your uncle's heroic deeds?" Menghui didn't take dealing with the silk core seriously, and at this time, he shook the money bag in his hand to Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile and asked curiously.
"Hui Huijun, I'm afraid that I want too much, and you will think I'm too greedy, but for the sake of the families of the three poor old people in our village, I have to be greedy......" Xiao Qiongzhi deliberately made a very embarrassed appearance and looked at Liang Kun.
Liang Kun understood, and immediately told Menghui: "Little Princess Zhi'er accepted my silver ticket before to help the families of the three poor old people in her village. ”
"I stayed at the patriarch's house in her village last night, and I heard the patriarch say that there is an old man and his two brothers in their village, and yesterday afternoon, in order to save Zhi'er's mother, two were stabbed to death by robbers, and one was seriously injured by robbers."
"That old man and his two brothers, how many people are in the family?" Menghui was still a little surprised, and his tone suddenly became very gentle and asked Xiao Qiongzhi.
"More than thirty. Moreover, the sons of the grandfather and his two brothers were unable to hand over the imperial grain because of the lack of food, and they joined the army, and those who stayed at home were all old and weak women and children. ”
"Yesterday, my mother sent all the money in the family and four chickens, all the preserved fish, bacon, and all the food that my father left us, but even so, they should run out of food in the spring." Xiao Qiongzhi replied with some bitterness.
It's all because the Qi State is too bad, and it has to start a war of aggression, otherwise, when Chu Yunniang goes to the town, Zhou Dazhi can accompany her.
Zhou Lili and several of his cousins are not Zhou Dazhi's opponents at all, so in this case, there will be no murder of Zhou Yuangeng's three brothers at all.
"Then I'll give you a hundred taels of silver as a reward for you and your family for treating the old man and his two brothers well, and another ten taels of silver as a reward for you telling me about some of your uncle's heroic deeds, okay?" Menghui thought about it and asked in a very gentle tone.
was obviously moved by his family's kindness to Grandpa Yuangeng and his three families.
Xiao Qiongzhi was very happy, and hurriedly replied: "Okay!" ”
The dream was not ambiguous, and immediately took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket, and took out ten taels of silver from the money bag and handed it to Xiao Qiongzhi.
After Xiao Qiongzhi accepted it, he immediately told him how Zheng Bang assisted the villagers of Zhoujia Village to kill the robbers in Guangfu Village, and how he caught Zhou Li's four cousins.
Liang Kun was not far behind, and then told him how Zheng Bang made Qiu Yuandan wait for death with one move.
Menghui frowned and thought about it, then handed Xiao Qiongzhi three silver tickets of one hundred taels, and said to her: "The people of your Zhoujia Village, dare to resist the robbers of Guangfu Village, they are very brave and tenacious, and when you return to the village, give these silver tickets to your patriarch and tell him that this is my dream back to you." ”
"Two hundred taels of them will be used as a commemoration for all the villagers' families who died against the robbers of Guangfu Village, and the remaining one hundred taels will be used to build a village wall and beacon tower for your village, so as to resist the robbers who may come to rob your village in the future."
"Okay, return to Jun, you are such a good person, I will thank you for everyone in our village!" Xiao Qiongzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly accepted the silver ticket.
Menghui also said: "Zhi'er, your uncle is very strong in kung fu, if he is willing to follow me, he will do something, you go and talk to him and ask him if he is willing." ”
No wonder I asked myself about Zheng Bang, it turned out to be this purpose.
Xiao Qiongzhi shook his head without hesitation: "No need to ask, my uncle said that my father has gone to join the army, and only my mother and I are left in the family, he came to my house this time to protect me and my mother, and he will not go anywhere before my father comes back." ”
"In that case, then you give this to him, and tell him that when your father comes back, if he is willing to follow me, he will take this to me." Menghui also said, while taking out a small jade plate half the size of a palm from his sleeve pocket and handing it to Xiao Qiongzhi.
Xiao Qiongzhi swept his eyes and found that the jade plate had the word "dream" written on it, and understood that this should be something that only his subordinates would have, and obediently put it in his arms.
