Chapter 296: Recruitment

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth of the winter month, and Ye Feng had not come back yet.

It started to rain last night, and this season the rain is mixed with light snow. Listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, thinking of Ye Feng running in the wind and rain, Xia Li's heart was entangled, and he didn't sleep well at night.

After breakfast, Xia Li, who had dark circles under his eyes, moved Wanlan from the house to the porch. Since it was cold, she brought Wanlan into the house every night and brought it out during the day, serving her like a baby.

After waiting so long for the long stems that bloomed after the end of the early winter, Xia Li guessed that its flowering period should be over this year. When Xia Li saw it, it opened six colors: red, pink, blue, purple, yellow, and white, and I don't know if it has other colors. She saw it on the first day of May, and it should have bloomed in April and continued until the winter months, and the flowering period was amazing. She asked many gardeners, but they didn't know what it was.

Xia Li doesn't know if it is suitable for the weather in the north and whether it will shorten the flowering period. Mama Zhao said that there is a greenhouse in the Guogong Mansion, and if you keep it in the greenhouse in winter, not only will it not die, but the flowering period will not be shortened.

As soon as she put the flowers away, Ye Qing came and said that Ye Feng came back at night and asked her to go to Tengbai ~ 10,000 # ^^ small! Let's talk about it.

Xia Li was overjoyed, washed his hands, and ran out with an oil-paper umbrella. Xia Ju and Xia He chased after them, crying and wanting to see their brother-in-law.

Xia Li couldn't, so he had to take two little beans and beckon Zhao Niuniu to go to Ye Mansion together. met Erhu by the river and brought him with him.

The subordinates took the four children to play on the first floor, and Xia Li went up to the second floor.

Ye Feng lost a lot of weight, and there were a few small bubbles on the side of his mouth, only two of them were shiny, and the others were wilted. It seems that finding treasures and hiding treasures makes him more anxious than fighting bandits.

Ye Feng stretched out his arms, and Xia Li threw himself into his arms.

After the two made out for a while, Ye Feng told Xia Li that the treasure was dug up under a stream not far from Evil Wolf Peak. There should have been no stream there before, and after hiding the treasure, a tributary was artificially brought over. The project is ingenious, and later generations did not see that it was dug manually, and it also concealed the cunning Cao family for several generations.

To find the treasure, of course, it still depends on Dangdang's "fairy nose". When I passed by the stream, I stopped and sniffed around the stream, jumped down and swam in a circle, and then there was a wild barking.

Ye Feng asked people to dig two ditches on both sides of the stream and didn't dig anything, Dangdang still didn't go, and kept barking. Ye Feng thought of a possibility, so he asked people to cut off the upstream, drain the water, and then cut the large and small stones underneath, dug a little bit, and finally dug out dozens of iron boxes wrapped in many layers of thick oil paper.

"Gold, silver, all kinds of gemstones, pearls, and jade ornaments are enough to hold thirty-five large boxes, no less than sixty million taels of silver, fortunately, the Cao family did not find it in advance, otherwise they would use this money to recruit troops and horses, and it would be even more difficult to take them down."

This number also frightened Xia Li.

Ye Feng took out two wooden boxes and gave them to Xia Li, and said with a smile, "The eldest prince said that if you find a treasure, you will reward the meritorious personnel. Among these meritorious personnel, in addition to me, it is Dangdang who has the greatest credit, as well as Xiong Xiang and Kuroko, and this time Xiong Da and Xiong Bile also followed. These treasures are rewarded for them, and they are all given to you. ”

Xia Li understands that this is both a reward and a seal.

She smiled and took the box, one of which was filled with gold ingots, about two hundred taels. A box contained a light green bead larger than a ping pong ball, translucent, and a little glowing.

Xia Li smiled, "It's so beautiful." What kind of material is this? Not like jadeite, not like emerald. ”

Ye Feng smiled, "Silly girl, this is the Pearl of the Night." There are only three, and one is rewarded. ”

Xia Li said, "I can see it without the Night Pearl, and replace it with other treasures." ”

Ye Feng smiled again, "Fool, you can see it, not necessarily our children can see it, keep it for them." ”

Xia Li glanced at him with disgust, "That's not for you." Instead, he took the Night Pearl back, and said with a smile, "When I go to the capital, I want to make Dangdang live more luxuriously, so that I can be worthy of them." ”

After that, the two discussed the matter of getting married, and then went downstairs to Zhao's house for dinner together. Before leaving, Ye Feng took another box from the bookcase for Ye Li to hold, which should be a reward for Zhao Liang.

When he went downstairs, a string of brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law all looked at him with blank eyes, calling him "brother-in-law", Ye Feng smiled and took out a few gifts to give them.

Everyone went to Zhao's house together.

Xia Li quietly took Dangdang to her bedroom, plugged in the door, and took out the night pearl to show Dangdang. smiled, "This is the good thing you earned for your sister, thank you." ”

When Dangdang saw that the beads were so small, it was different from Ye Feng Dangdang's wish, he was unhappy, barked wildly, and wanted to go out to find Ye Feng to comment.

Xia Li grabbed it and smiled, "Silly little handsome, this is a rare treasure, priceless, much better than a big silver ingot." Then he let it get under the covers, stuffed the Night Pearl into it, and asked, "Is it glowing?" ”

Later, when he opened the quilt and exposed his head, his eyes were full of surprise, and he threw out his tongue and screamed twice, which means that it can really shine!

Xia Li got into the quilt again to see, the beads glowing green were very beautiful, illuminating the quilt transparently.

On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Xia Li's furniture was all done and moved back to Zhao's house. Zhu Er's family, Yinling, Baoling, and Yuling also lived in Zhao's house.

In the next morning, Liu Changzhao rushed to Ye Mansion from the provincial capital, and he would stay here until Ye Feng returned to Beijing. After that, he will continue to stay in Hanjiang Mansion, not only because he is unwilling to return to the county palace, but also because he has the responsibility of secretly guarding the treasure. Ye Feng's arrangement was also to pull him into the camp of the eldest prince.

The fifteenth day of the lunar month is the day when Yefu sends him to be hired.

The Zhao family is full of lights. At the end of the hour, Xia Ju and Xia He's two brothers-in-law were dressed in joy, standing in front of the gate to greet their brother-in-law Ye Feng to send them off.

After a while, Ye Feng, accompanied by Liu Changzhao, came with the team to be hired. The dowry was sixty-four lifts, and a courtyard of the Zhao family was placed, and the bride price was 6,000 taels of silver, 1,000 acres of land and a village in the suburbs of Beijing, plus the real thing, about 18,000 taels of silver. Seeing the lively relatives and neighbors, they all congratulated and envied loudly, which made Zhao Liang and Xia squint with a smile.

These things, except for food, the rest were packed into Xia Li's dowry and brought to her. Qiu Jili didn't dare to use the silver he gave, Xia Li used the dangdang to buy the dowry, as well as the two screens that Xia bought, and later Zhao Liang took another thousand taels of silver for her as the silver of the pressure box, plus a set of pear blossom wood furniture, a total of eight thousand taels of silver. Add Ye Feng's dowry to the bridal gift, and there will be 25,000 taels, which are all very red makeup in the capital.
