Zhang Gui thought that he was also at a loss, so he took his daughter-in-law and coaxed him, "Okay, don't be annoyed, I am too busy with schoolwork on weekdays." When I leave home and go to Beijing, you can just move back to Yue's house, so I don't have to worry about the danger of you living alone." ”

"Yes, thank you. I'm going to pick up my luggage, the weather in Kyoto is already hotter than ours here, and it's the height of summer, so I need to prepare more pills to relieve the heat and ointment to repel mosquitoes. ”

Ye Mei shouted that the little finch was all over the house, and soon picked up a box full of clothes and supplies for Zhang Gui. In the end, she made a look and pushed Xiaoque out, and then fell into Zhang Gui's arms, half complaining and half aggrieved, and said, "I have picked up all the clothes and miscellaneous items, and as for the silver two plates, I have to take it and put it in by myself." Don't forget to let me go out and hide when the time comes, that's my husband's baby bump. If I accidentally see where I am hiding, if my husband comes back and sees that one or two dollars are missing, I can't tell if my mouth is full. ”

Zhang Gui was full of warm nephrite jade at this time, thinking that he would go to the capital for two months before he could come back, and he was also a little reluctant in his heart. After thinking about it, his daughter-in-law was very honest this month, and he felt that the doubts in his heart were a little ridiculous.

So, he got up and went to the study, and found the key in an old book. At the end, he called Ye Mei to go to the firewood room together and dug up the silver box buried in the ground.

Ye Mei's eyes lit up with excitement, but she still pretended to be disgusted and said, "Yo, what is this doing, husband, aren't you afraid that I will steal the silver?"

Zhang Gui sneered, took out a hundred taels of silver and buried the box again, and finally stuffed the key to Ye Mei, and instructed, "Don't be angry, I used to be afraid that you would be happy for a while and bought all the money for clothes and jewelry, but now I see that you are very safe in taking care of your housework, and this silver box will be handed over to you for safekeeping." When I'm not at home, don't use it, you know? ”

"I know, my husband treats me so well." Ye Mei clutched the key in her hand, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Gui's neck and kissed him. Zhang Gui blushed instantly, looked left and right and saw that no one could see him, so he pulled his daughter-in-law into the house.

Needless to say, this night, Ye Mei tried his best to flatter and flatter, and lost most of Zhang Gui's three souls and seven souls, and he didn't even want to enter Beijing to take the exam, he just wanted to stay in this gentle township forever.

It's a pity that after he was so tired that he fell asleep, he didn't know that Ye Mei secretly touched more than a dozen pebbles in the courtyard and exchanged all the bags of silver in his box.

On the second day, the couple went back to the Sancha River, and Zhang Gui finally got two letters of recommendation in his hands after listening to Mr. Chu's countless admonitions. Even Ye Mei was also pulled by her mother and told her to live a good life, and the husband and wife were extremely impatient, and after lunch, they almost fled back to the desert.

Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Gui knelt down to worship his parents' tablets, and took his luggage to the two classmates in the school and took the car on the road.

Ye Mei couldn't even wait to send Zhang Gui out of the city, so he returned home with a sad headache, and called the lover to dig out the silver box together, together with the proceeds from the previous sale of the dowry, it was two big bags. The two were ecstatic, and the lover went out to exchange the silver for handy gold, and then hired a carriage.

Ye Mei shouted to Xiaoque and rewarded her with a deed of sale and ten taels of silver. Xiaoque is not a fool, so he immediately took the package and ran back to his parents' house. Ye Mei and the lover then also took a carriage out of the city, all the way to the west, planning to go to the lover's uncle in the west and settle down to settle down.

Ye Mei and the lover walked out of seventy or eighty miles in the car with trepidation, and when they saw that there was no longer a shadow in Cuiluan City, they both breathed a long sigh of relief. After staying at an inn in a small county town at night, a hot meal and hot dishes were served, and the two wanted to do some "sports" to celebrate the successful escape.

No, as soon as the clothes were half taken off, the window was silently pushed open, and the two of them were so frightened that before they could scream, the person who came had already rushed up to the front and pointed their whole body numb, and they couldn't say a word.

The man was dressed in black, wrapped in so that only his two eyes were exposed. He didn't look at Ye Mei and the others much, opened the package at the end of the bed and flipped it up.

Soon, the large purse containing the gold coin was found. The man poured the gold coin on the bed, carefully counted thirty-five taels and put it in his arms, and finally put the rest back in his arms.

Ye Mei and the others were scared before, but now they were full of questions in their hearts. Who is this man, and if he is a thief, how can he turn over the silver and keep half of it? If you weren't a thief, why did you open the window in the middle of the night?

The man was also kind, and he didn't make them curious for too long, and when he was done with business, he said, "These thirty-five taels of gold can be exchanged for three hundred and fifty taels of silver, which is not what you deserve, I will take it back for you and pay it back." Go where you need to go, and never come back, or you will be killed! ”

With that, he turned over and jumped out again, and the window closed silently again. Ye Mei and the two fell together, they couldn't say if they wanted to, they couldn't move if they wanted to, and they stood up for an hour before they slowly recovered.

The two stared at each other for a long time, both suspecting that they had just had a dream, but the missing half of the gold in the package reminded them that everything was true...

Not to mention how Ye Mei and the others were frightened and confused, just to say that Pu Cao didn't see Fang Jie at home for two days in a row, and she was missing and annoyed in her heart. This night, I went to Fang's house to visit and finally caught Fang Jie, who had just entered the courtyard, she stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and complained, "What are you busy with these days, you can't even find a figure?" ”

Fang Jie waved his hand to push the snickering Dongzi down, and then led Pucao into the house. Pu Cao was very distressed when he saw that he was tired, poured hot tea with his own hands, handed it over, and asked, "You said, is there a problem with the restaurant in the city, why is it so tired?" ”

Fang Jie drank half a cup of hot tea, took her to sit beside him, and said with a smile, "The restaurant is fine, I went to deal with the matter you were worried about." ”

"What's on my mind?" Pu Cao was puzzled, and was just about to sarcastically mock Fang Jie for a few words when he suddenly remembered what he had been worried about in the past few days, and immediately asked anxiously, "But Ye Mei escaped?" ”

Fang Jie nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to the teapot, looking extremely proud. Pu Cao was angry and funny, and hurriedly added new tea to this noble son, urging, "Hurry up and talk to me carefully." ”

Fang Jie knew that she was in a hurry, so he stopped joking and carefully explained the matter. Mo Wei put the purse on his belt into Pu Cao's hand, and said with a smile, "I said that I will help you find all the property that was taken away from you that day." Count, I also asked you for more than thirty taels of interest by the way. ”

Where does Pu Cao still have the heart to count the silver at this time, she frowned and responded, "Ye Mei really eloped with someone, she is really bold." Your brother is out of the house, and he has no money, so I'm afraid he will have to endure a lot of hardship. ”

Fang Jie remembered Zhang Gui's disrespect for Pucao on weekdays, and sneered, "If he doesn't suffer some hardship, how can he understand his previous mistakes." Don't worry, I'll send someone to follow along the road, and he won't die. ”

Pu Cao thought about it and felt that she couldn't be too soft-hearted, so she put down the matter and took the gold coin and went home, causing Fang Jie to complain while walking behind, "The world is cold, even if you send a little servant to do things, you have to give a quick reward." ”

Pu Cao laughed at this, turned her head and responded, "Wait, I'll bring you a few snacks in a moment." ”

Fang Jie immediately smiled happily, and Mei Zizi turned around and went back.

Besides, Zhang Gui has been touring the mountains and rivers with two classmates since he left Cuiluan City, so he is not comfortable, and naturally he has no idea that the house is empty.

Those two classmates, one surnamed Wang and one surnamed Feng, are both old talents who have experienced a scientific examination. But the two of them never held up in front of Zhang Gui, one by one Brother Zhang shouted, but whenever they spoke, they must flatter Zhang Guicai and learn extraordinary, and they must win the top prize in the big exam, and even ask Zhang Gui to help him more after he joins the office.

Zhang Gui listened to it well, and when he was happy, he patted his chest and covered the food and accommodation expenses of the two of them all the way. The two of them were overjoyed, and the good words in their mouths were sent out one by one.

In this way, the three of them wandered around, and on this day, they arrived at a city that must pass between Cuiluan City and Kyoto, called Blue Lake City. The three of them found the best inn in the city to stay as usual, and the next morning, they went to the Blue Lagoon not far outside the city to play.

Since the Blue Lagoon can name a city, of course, it has its own uniqueness. The beauty of the scenery made the three of them linger, and even climbed to the top of the mountain on the side, just to overlook its whole picture. It's just that the sky is not beautiful, and the three of them were doused by a sudden heavy rain before they went down the mountain.

When they returned to the inn, Wang Xiucai and Feng Xiucai survived by drinking a bowl of ginger soup, but only Zhang Guilian was very sick with a cough and fever. Wang Xiucai and Feng Xiucai hurriedly invited the doctor to go to the outpatient clinic for treatment, and asked the innkeeper to boil medicine and cook some good food to wait.

This toss is four or five days, and the little bit of broken silver in Zhang Gui's hand is gone. The innkeeper calculated that the three of them had lived for a long time, and the silver money was already several taels, so he went upstairs to ask for it.

Zhang Gui was so sick that he was dizzy, and after hearing the shopkeeper's laughter, he impatiently opened the silver box to find silver. As a result, he was dumbfounded as soon as he opened his purse. There's no silver there, it's just seven or eight smooth pebbles.

He reached out and pinched it, put it in his mouth and bit it again, and finally even slapped himself. But no matter how much you toss, the pebbles are tough and refuse to turn into silver. He sat down on the ground and cried, "Where is my money, where is my money?" Who is it, and who is it that has changed my money? ”

Wang Xiucai and Feng Xiucai originally had the intention of taking a look at Zhang Gui's family, but when they suddenly saw him like this, they said, "But there is nothing to do with us, Brother Zhang can't wronged people." ”

The shopkeeper didn't care about the entanglement between them, he only recognized the silver and didn't recognize people. At this time, he learned that Zhang Gui had no money to pay the bill, so he immediately turned to Wang Feng and the others, "Two sons, Zhang Gongzi has no money to pay the bill, you should always have it." The small shop is a small profit, so you two will settle the account first. ”
