Chapter 423: The Favorite Concubine of the Cold Palace (18)
Who would have thought that Bai Huayin would be so calm today, and directly put away the beads.
Bai Siyin was feeling depressed in his heart, his stomach was sick to death, his whole face was as white as if he had swallowed a fly, and there was a person walking in with a calm face outside, it was Mama Tong who had just gone out, according to Bai Huayin, to prepare dinner.
Ye Xinlu asked: "Mama Tong, didn't you go and prepare dinner for my two sisters, why did you come back so soon?" ”
Mama Tong's face darkened when she heard this, and she said, "Bai Cainu, the old slave went to your bedroom to get the money bag according to what you just said, and found that your monthly money this month is not even half a tael of silver. As she spoke, she poured out the money bag she was holding, and only poured out a broken silver the size of a baby's fingernail, "This bit of broken silver is estimated to be only enough for a girl to drink porridge in the second half of the month......
Before she finished speaking, she saw Ye Xinlu squeezing her eyebrows at her.
She said curiously: "Cai Nu, what's wrong with your eyes?" Uncomfortable? ”
Ye Xinlu deliberately laughed embarrassedly and said, "Uh, yes...... It's a little uncomfortable, maybe it's a blur. After a pause, he turned around, turned his back to Bai Siyin, and waved his hand at Mama Tong.
Mama Tong walked up to her.
She said in a low voice: "I'll mention this silver later, the second sister said that the eldest sister may have to accompany the emperor to dinner, so she won't eat here, you go down first!" Go down! ”
Mama Tong pulled the elder's face and retreated.
Bai Siyin was really funny when he saw this, this Bai Huayin, I didn't expect it to be mixed to such a point, and the money in his pocket is not as good as a minion. She glanced at Bai Qingyin again.
When Bai Qingyin received this look, he spoke again: "Third sister, what's the matter?" It's only been half a month, and your monthly money this month is only so much, how will you spend the second half of the month? ”
Ye Xinlu had to smile helplessly: "Alas, there is no way, the monthly money of the Cai girl is only so much, but you look at my big house, ......" said and shook his head helplessly.
Bai Siyin: "My sister's life is so tight, I have to think of a way." Alas, to be honest, the monthly money of our women is really not much, and I, as a concubine, only have a hundred taels of monthly money, if it weren't for the emperor's usual rewards, my life would probably be the same as my sister. ”
"Sister reminded me yes." Ye Xin Green said, "My sister just gave me the beads, and I will let Mama Tong sell them." Such a valuable night pearl can be exchanged for a lot of silver. ”
Bai Siyin's face turned green immediately when he heard this, and he glared at Bai Qingyin fiercely.
Bai Qingyin hurriedly said: "Third sister, that night pearl is a reward from the emperor, how can it be sold?" ”
Ye Xinlu: "Why not?" Didn't the emperor reward her sister with these things just so that she didn't have to worry about spending money? If we can't sell it, we can only put it in the house as an ornament, we can't even eat, and the emperor's reward will be meaningless.
Besides, the eldest sister didn't say she disagreed, why did you jump out and make a fuss? It won't be to see that the eldest sister is good to me, and gave me the night pearl, but I didn't send you, you are not happy in your heart, and you want to deliberately block my and my eldest sister's hearts. ”
After speaking, she said to the little palace maid kneeling below: "You go and tell Mama Tong to let her quickly exchange the night pearl for silver, and then we will also open meat in Guixiang Curie." Oh, remember to buy some good tea first, don't wait for the sisters to come next time, they don't even have tea to entertain them. ”
"Eh......" Bai Siyin saw that the little palace maid got up and walked out, wanting to stop her.
Ye Xinlu had already said: "Eldest sister, don't worry about these minions, let them be busy." ”
Am I afraid that they will be busy? Bai Siyin glared at her angrily, thinking that it seemed that it was not possible to remind this fool tactfully, and that he had to directly open his mouth to get the bead back.
Who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, before the words came out, Ye Xinlu said: "Eldest sister, I know that you have a good heart, but you think that I just have something valuable here and don't want me to sell it, so you want to give me some silver taels." Alas, my sister thanked me here first. ”
Bai Siyin's words to her mouth were almost choked by her words, and she choked in her throat and couldn't make a sound.
Ye Xinlu said again: "But I just asked for your beads, how can I ask for your silver taels again?" You don't have to worry about me.
Although the bead is good, it is always something outside the body, and it was sold today, and I will be favored by the emperor another day, and I will buy it back when the situation improves. Oh, maybe the emperor will reward me with one of these beads, giggle......"
Bai Siyin couldn't maintain that gentle and generous face anymore, so angry that his face was distorted, he stood up and shouted: "Bai Huayin!" ”
Ye Xinlu pretended to be stunned: "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you, why did your face suddenly become so ugly?" Could it be that I just ate the tea made from the old tea residue and felt unwell. ”
Bai Siyin was furious and said, "Don't mention that tea to me." Do you know that the pearl of the night is a gift from the emperor, how can you sell it when you say so? Since you don't value the treasure given by the emperor, return it to the palace. ”
Ye Xinlu: "What did the eldest sister say?" Why don't I cherish the treasures given by the emperor? I exchanged it for silver for food, which shows that this pearl and rice have an equally important place in my heart.
You must know that the people regard food as the sky, and it can be seen that this 'rice' is as important as the sky. I regard this pearl as something as important as the sky, how can I say that I don't value it?
Eldest sister, you say that, maybe you never thought about giving it to me from the beginning to the end.
In that case, why did you bring it to me? Let me see it? No, no, it's supposed to be for me to look at you and see how much you are favored by the emperor now, right? ”
Bai Siyin saw that she had completely unmasked herself, and hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you talking about, how can I mean this?" I really wanted to give it to you. ”
Ye Xinlu: "That is the case, then it is my thing, I can take it as I want!" ”
Bai Siyin was willing to really lose the orb, and said angrily: "Anyway, I can't watch you sell it." Tell Mama Tong to get the beads back, I won't give it to you. ”
Ye Xinlu rolled his eyes widely, and said coldly to the little eunuch next to him: "Go and find Mama Tong, let her bring the beads too, and return them to my eldest sister, they didn't want to give us the beads at all." ”
The little eunuch hurriedly took the order. Bai Siyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair.
Everyone in the room was cold and didn't speak, Ye Xinlu sat on the chair, his little face was long.
Bai Siyin looked at Bai Qingyin again, Bai Qingyin was depressed to death, and she said all the hurtful words, what else does this eldest sister want?
