Chapter 154: A Pleasant Conversation
"It turns out that you ...... last time" Xiao Chengxi shook his head, Ye Zhiqiu admitted so frankly that he had no desire to lose his temper, and he only sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, I don't want to dwell on these things, at least Ye Gongzi didn't do those things that were not good for us." In the face of this Ye Zhiqiu, Xiao Chengxi was really not angry, thinking about it carefully, in fact, it was enough to see his character that Ye Zhiqiu could send the medicinal materials to his hands in such a way, "I came today to return the money for buying medicinal materials to Ye Gongzi, but ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Chengxi was a little embarrassed, as if he was a liar!
But before Xiao Chengxi could say something embarrassing, Ye Zhiqiu interrupted Xiao Chengxi: "I have long guessed that Miss Xiao is looking for me, it must be this matter, but it is just some small money, why should Miss Xiao be so serious, according to Ye, forget it!" ”
Xiao Chengxi froze directly in place, what is the situation, Ye Zhiqiu actually said that so much gold is small money, and if you say don't want it, you don't want it!? Because she also heard Yun Tingyu say that the annual tribute set by the Seven Princes to Linyue is 30,000 gold, although there are seven princes because of themselves, and there are also reasons for letting the vassal country recuperate, but this fifteen thousand taels of gold, what can be said is not such an understatement, the amount that passes by!
Looking at Xiao Chengxi, who was stunned, Ye Zhiqiu smiled even more: "Unexpectedly, there are times when the princess is shocked, and that also makes the princess very honored, but, I guess, the princess should only have 10,000 taels of gold in her hand, right?!" ”
Sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from Ye Zhiqiu, at the beginning, Xiao Chengxi thought that Murong Yixuan would not sell so many medicinal materials, and the money in his hand should also be able to solve Murong Yixuan's urgent need, but he didn't expect that Murong Yixuan had sold so many things!
Seeing it by Ye Zhiqiu, Xiao Chengxi had no choice but to nod: "Don't hide it from Ye Gongzi, I thought that the money in my hand was enough, but I couldn't think of ......it" Xiao Chengxi didn't let Ye Zhiqiu interrupt himself this time, but continued, "Ye Gongzi will take the money first, and I will return the rest to Ye Gongzi as soon as possible." ”
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and shook his head gently: "Miss Xiao, presumably this money is not Miss Xiao's, you are a married princess, how can you have so much money, if you have enough money and owe so many favors in vain, it is better to write it all on my head alone, so as not to make Miss Xiao troublesome in the future." ”
This Ye Zhiqiu is really amazing! This is Xiao Chengxi's first reaction, everything can be seen through at a glance, and Xiao Chengxi's hand holding these silver tickets also fell down involuntarily.
But immediately, Xiao Chengxi raised his head: "Ye Gongzi, then you can tell me, how much money did you spend in total?" ”
"Twenty thousand taels of gold." Ye Zhiqiu didn't even hesitate at all, and replied very calmly, because he had already prepared, Xiao Chengxi would definitely know about it, and when Xiao Chengxi wanted to know the truth, he would not hesitate at all!
Xiao Chengxi didn't expect that Ye Zhiqiu would tell herself the answer so happily, and after a moment of surprise, she took a deep breath: "I and Ye Gongzi just met in Pingshui, why would Gongzi take out so much money for me?" Childe is a businessman, and if you want to be careful about budgeting, maybe Childe is smarter than anyone else, right? ”
Ye Zhiqiu nodded: "Shrewd? Hehe......" Ye Zhiqiu chuckled, "I am indeed shrewd, otherwise, I would not have accumulated so much wealth, as long as I think it is worth it, I feel that I have been careful with my calculations!" ”
"Worth it!?" Xiao Chengxi heard the meaning of Ye Zhiqiu's words, she didn't think she had such a charm to make this big businessman take out so much money! If this was in the previous life, Ye Zhiqiu would be a platinum-level tyrant, who knew each other in which round, he would have been eaten by those little girls with shiny eyes and no bones left!
"To be able to become a confidant in wine with Princess Linyue, just 20,000 taels of gold, what is it?" Ye Zhiqiu once again spoke amazingly.
"No, I must return the money to Childe." Xiao Chengxi made up his mind, he definitely couldn't let himself owe Ye Zhiqiu such a big favor!
But at the bottom of his heart, he was faintly uneasy, Ye Zhiqiu spent a lot of money on himself, why is this? Especially the identity of himself and the Seven Princes!
"Actually, Miss Xiao doesn't know that if these medicinal materials are on the market, they can be sold for 16,000 taels of gold, which is considered a high price, but when I think of the relationship between Miss Xiao and that prince, I also spent some extra money, and I can just give the seventh prince a reason to investigate me." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, this clearly told Xiao Chengxi that Murong Yixuan had already investigated his side very thoroughly!
Xiao Chengxi turned his head slightly: "He didn't embarrass you, right?" "Investigating Ye Zhiqiu, Xiao Chengxi knew, but because even she felt that this Ye Zhiqiu was very mysterious, she didn't say a word of obstruction, and now that she thinks about it, Xiao Chengxi is a little ashamed.
"I do my business openly, and the Seventh Prince is not that kind of cruel person, what can he do with me?" Ye Zhiqiu didn't even have a trace of change in his face, and he said it freely and naturally.
"Maybe if I ask this sentence, it will make Ye Gongzi unhappy, but this question is really unbearable in Cheng Xi's heart, and I hope that Ye Gongzi can confess as before." But Xiao Chengxi knew that the question she was going to ask next, even if she confessed, if she had this purpose, she would not tell her the truth, but she was able to analyze and judge ninety percent through that person's micro-expression!
Ye Zhiqiu took a sip of the fragrant tea in front of him, and just nodded silently.
"Do you know who I am, and you don't want to get something after you have paid so much money?" Xiao Chengxi also asked very directly, maybe in front of Ye Zhiqiu, she was already transparent!
Ye Zhiqiu in front of him was still so warm and sincere, besides, he didn't have any disgust with the question just now, I saw him hook the corners of his mouth, just like the signature warm smile: "I have already told Miss Xiao that I have obtained Miss Xiao, a confidant in the wine, and I am already satisfied, how can I hope for more, in case Miss Xiao is unhappy, I can't find the north when I cry!" ”
Hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, Xiao Chengxi, who had a straight face, suddenly burst out laughing, Ye Zhiqiu's words contained no trace of humor, making you want to be angry.
Seeing that Xiao Chengxi couldn't help laughing, or squirting out directly without any image, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly stroked his chest: "Miss Xiao is good if she laughs, don't you blame me?" ”
What else can Xiao Chengxi say, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes are clear, there are not so many distracting thoughts, besides, he is a businessman, and he is a princess of marriage, according to common sense, if Ye Zhiqiu has any purpose, then the target should not be her: "Who are you?" Xiao Chengxi seemed to be talking to herself, and it was like asking, but she picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip of tea.
"I'm just a medicinal herb merchant, I don't know where my ancestral home is, but I just traveled around with my master, as early as a few years ago, my master was tired of the world and went into seclusion, so I was the only one left!" Ye Zhiqiu's words brought a rare touch of sadness, but then, he immediately changed his tone, "That day, I saw Miss Xiao's heart for a short sword, and I saw the girl's elegance, and I wanted to get acquainted with her, but the Seventh Highness was present at the time, and I didn't dare to say anything more, I just hope that there will be a chance in the future, if I miss it, I can only say that you and I have no chance, so, for a while, I stayed in Zecheng, I didn't expect that later, I really met Miss Xiao, and Miss Xiao really regarded me as a friend, so, do this, I must do my best not to disappoint the girl! Ye Zhiqiu's gushing narration actually regarded his acquaintance with Xiao Chengxi as something that made him very excited.
"I really didn't expect that I, Xiao Chengxi, would be able to attract Ye Gongzi's attention!" Xiao Chengxi shook her head helplessly, with her experience and ability to see people, she could understand that Ye Zhiqiu did not deceive herself about anything, she answered very honestly, and she did not flicker at all.
"But ......" Xiao Chengxi didn't say much, and handed over the silver tickets that Yun Tingyu gave him in his hand: "Although Gongzi said so, Chengxi can't take advantage of Gongzi, here are 100,000 taels of silver silver tickets, and the rest, I'll return it to Gongzi in the future!" ”
Ye Zhiqiu didn't take it, and sighed: "Miss Xiao, do you trust me, is it so simple, why do you have to return this money to me, I can help you, I think I am qualified to drink with Miss Xiao!" ”
"Ye Gongzi, this ......" Xiao Chengxi simply felt that Ye Zhiqiu's remarks were a little incomprehensible, and wanted to refute them, but he was snatched away by Ye Zhiqiu's smile.
"If Miss Xiao thinks I've suffered a loss, then why don't you drink with me, so that Miss Xiao doesn't owe me anything!" Ye Zhiqiu had a begging gaze, "I always feel that without Miss Xiao, this wine will change its taste when you drink it!" ”
Looking at Ye Zhiqiu, who was a little persistent, Xiao Chengxi was a little speechless, so he had to nod: "But then again, Ye Gongzi's wine is really a rare treasure in wine!" ”
Ye Zhiqiu heard that Xiao Chengxi agreed, not to mention how happy he was, and hurriedly ordered someone to put down the wine and a few side dishes, and there was nothing hearty, but this made Xiao Chengxi have a great appetite, looking at these light foods, Xiao Chengxi smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that Ye Gongzi really knows how to eat!" ”
