Chapter 394: I Can't Take This Money
"I don't know what the king thinks about what Zhen Guogong and Hua Li said?" Fuliu Yingying smiled, "Fuliu saw that the prince frowned, as if he had thought of something, so he asked." ”
Hearing this, the king also set his eyes on Chu Yu, "Huh? Brother Wang, what did you think of? ”
Seeing this, Chu Yu hurriedly waved his hand, and denied it again and again: "No, no, the younger brother was just a little distracted, not that he thought of anything, and hoped that Brother Wang would forgive him, but the younger brother didn't know anything about it, so he couldn't help Brother Wang." ”
"Forget it, Lone also knows that you don't care about these things, and you can't think of any useful clues." The king didn't take it seriously, he waved his hand, "Since you have no interest in this, you better go home early." ”
"The younger brother will retire first." Chu Yu hurriedly got up, saluted, and hurried away.
The remaining few people discussed for a while, and Lu Li and Hua Li said the things they were suspicious about one by one, but after all, the king had lived in the palace for a long time and did not know much about the situation of the bandits, and they had no clues and evidence in their hands, even if they thought of a certain possibility, it was only speculation and assumption, and it could not prove anything at all.
It had been some time since the king left the palace, and seeing that it was not early, Fuliu persuaded the king to go back to the palace, and in the end, only Hua Li and Lu Li were left.
"Lu Li, do you really want to continue the investigation?" Hua Li asked with some concern: "You have also seen the martial arts of those bandits, and we don't know about their strength, if we continue to track down, I think it will be easy to arouse the disgust of the bandits, in case they-"
"There's nothing to hesitate about and dwell on." Lu Li interrupted and said firmly: "Those bandits are indeed strong in martial arts, but I am now sure that their purpose is not simple, if I don't continue to investigate, then the events of the previous few days will happen over and over again." ”
Hearing this, Hua Li let out a long sigh, a little helpless: "I mean, it's good that you should be more vigilant in the future, there is no need to find out about the matter." ”
After speaking, Hua Li patted Lu Li's shoulder, leaned over and whispered: "The king still has nothing to do about this matter, you and Xiaoman are newcomers again, now you are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, it is better not to be too publicistic at this stage." ”
Speaking of which, Holley didn't have selfish intentions to prevent him from continuing to investigate, but he was just worried about the safety of Lu Li's family, so he persuaded him like this.
Lu Li knew the other party's kindness, but before facing such a thing, he and Hua Li had completely different ideas.
He said: "I know your good intentions, but Huali, compromising and hiding again and again will only make the enemy more arrogant. You can rest assured that no matter what I do or how I do it, they will never threaten your safety, you can rest assured. ”
"That's not what I meant." Hua Li was a little anxious, he grabbed Lu Li's shoulder, and said anxiously: "I'm not worried about my own safety, I'm worried about your family!" There are so many people in the county lord's mansion, can you guarantee the safety of all of them? Also, your son is still so young, how can you guarantee that he will not be taken away by thieves again? Your martial arts are strong and you are not afraid of bandits, that doesn't mean that everyone is not afraid! ”
The more he talked, the more excited Hua Li spoke in one breath, and after he finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, his chest rose and fell obviously looking at Lu Li, his cheeks flushed, and he was very excited.
Seeing this, Lu Li sighed a little helplessly, "Huali, you really don't have to worry about us, if I don't find out who is hostile to us as soon as possible, then no matter how we prevent it in the future, it will be useless, you know?" ”
Seeing that the two were arguing with you and me, Xiao Man hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt, "Okay, okay, it's not too early today, let's go back first." ”
As soon as they heard this, Lu Li and Hua Li reacted, they and the other party were arguing outside, and the two of them couldn't help but rein in, and lowered their voices, they took the things that were not sold out, and returned to the mansion with Xiaoman.
As soon as they returned to the house, the two who had just restrained themselves argued again, both of them were very excited, and Xiao Man didn't pull it when he saw this, but returned to the room and began to take stock of the money he made today.
There is not much money in the mansion anymore, but there are still so many people to feed, although Xiaoman himself receives the monthly salary given by the king, but where can that little money support so many people in the mansion?
As a last resort, she had to take out some of the gadgets she had embroidered in her spare time and sell them for money.
"Madame, did you really go out to set up a stall?" Pearl was a little surprised, she looked at the package that had obviously deflated a lot, and asked, "Is anyone really going to buy it?" How much money do you pay? ”
Xiao Man smiled proudly, and while sorting out the remaining gadgets, he said, "Of course someone buys it, and the price is not low!" And the king also went today, and helped me teach a bully a lesson! ”
Speaking of that "bully", Xiao was full of itchy teeth, and said hatefully: "A prince puts on such a big score, and he teaches me a lesson with insulting words, and those who don't know think he is the king today!" looks arrogant and domineering, it's boring to watch! ”
I thought that after King Zirong's accident, the other royal clans in this city would be more restrained, but I didn't want anyone to be so domineering.
Hearing this, Pearl and Jade were very curious, and couldn't help but ask what was going on, and it happened that Xiao Man still had anger in his heart, so he took advantage of this stubble to completely vent the anger in his heart and completely narrated the matter.
After listening, Jade was dissatisfied: "What kind of prince is this, it's clearly a street bully!" ”
"That's it! But fortunately, the king was also there at the time," Speaking of this, Xiao Man smiled with a sigh of relief, raised his head to look at the jade, and said with a smile: "You didn't see the appearance of the prince when he saw the king, he was very cowardly, as if he had changed someone, it was very funny." ”
Jade covered her mouth and laughed after hearing this, and Pearl also raised the corners of her lips and laughed softly.
Xiao Man also sorted out the remaining handkerchiefs, purses, sachets, etc., and she wrapped these things in cloth, preparing to continue to sell them tomorrow with them, so that she could make some more money and come back.
In order to redeem Wang Youhe and Wangshu and others, all the people in the house were used as ransom, but now the mansion looks beautiful, but in fact, it is very empty inside, and they can't take out a penny.
Thinking of this, Xiao Man sighed, lowered his eyes and looked at the few purses, a little gloomy.
There are dozens of people in the house, and although I have made a lot of money today, I still have some difficulty and reluctance to support these dozens of people.
There are also greenhouses in the suburbs, and there are not many seeds left from Shangjing, and if you test it again, the remaining seeds will not be enough to plant the entire greenhouse, and if you still implement the previous requirements, it will cost more financial resources and manpower.
Thinking that there are still a bunch of troubles waiting to be solved in front of him, Xiaoman, who has experienced so many things, has completely lost his initial courage, and now he is only left with endless exhaustion.
Just when Xiaoman began to worry about the troubles in the future, Wang Youhe came.
Although she was kidnapped by the thieves for a few days, and she was fed poison, fortunately she was not wronged in the cottage, and the poison on her body had been resolved, and she had a good night's rest yesterday, and Wang Youhe has almost recovered now.
After entering the door, Wang Youhe saw the package on Xiao Man's side at a glance, she smiled and said curiously: "Sister Xiao Man, I heard that you went to the street to set up a stall today, how is it, is the business okay?" ”
"It's okay." Xiao Man smiled, beckoned the other party to sit down, and then asked, "Why didn't you have a good rest in the room, is there something wrong with coming to me?" ”
Wang Youhe licked her lower lip a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Xiaoman, I heard that you spent a lot of money to redeem me this time, so that there is not much money left in the house, so... I've always been very embarrassed. ”
It turned out that the other party was here to talk about it.
Xiao Manran smiled, took the other party's hand casually, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will earn all this money back in a few days, and it's not just to redeem you, but also Wangshu and Huali, they are also included." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Man suddenly remembered something, she got up and walked to the cabinet on the side, opened the drawer and took out the sachet inside, and then stuffed it into Wang Youhe's hand, and said: "This is the sachet that Huali bought in Manrou Garment Shop this time, there are a few more, this is for you." ”
Because he knew that Wang Youhe liked red the most, Xiaoman specially picked out a red sachet to leave it for Wang Youhe.
Looking at the red sachet in his hand, the embroidery and patterns are very familiar, and at a glance, he knows that it is made by the Manrou Garment Workshop. Wang Youhe held the sachet and looked at it for a while, feeling very moved.
But it was precisely because of this that she became more and more determined in her original idea.
"Simei, take the things out." Wang Youhe commanded.
Xiao Man didn't know what was going on, so he also looked at Si Mei with a smile and said with a smile: "Si Mei, what do you want to take?" ”
Si Mei lowered her head and took out a cloth bag from her arms, stepped forward and put the cloth bag on the table in front of Xiao Man, and stepped back.
Xiao Man looked at the cloth bag curiously and said curiously, "What is this?" ”
"Before, in order to redeem me, you took out all the money in the house, how did I live in my heart?" As he spoke, Wang Youhe opened the cloth bag, pointed to the stack of silver tickets inside, and said, "This is what my father gave me before I came to Canglan." I don't have a place to use it in this house, so I might as well bring it out to you. ”
"This is for me?" Xiao Man was surprised.
The pile of silver tickets in front of him, not to mention tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Wang Youhe gave it to himself for nothing? Xiaoman was surprised by what he thought.
Wang Youhe scratched her head embarrassedly, "Yes, Sister Xiaoman, you must accept it, otherwise I will be too reluctant to go." ”
"No, no, no, I definitely can't take this money." Xiao Man hurriedly rewrapped the silver ticket, and then pushed it back in front of Wang Youhe.
