Chapter 401: Something to Kill Time
According to the planned itinerary, Jinrong, Ye Xinyan and their entourage hurried slowly, and only when the sun set, they entered a town and stayed at the inn that the guards had chartered in advance.
Ye Xinyan washed up and rested for a while, and Jinrong handed over the word and asked Ye Xinyan to go to the compartment in the lobby of the inn for dinner.
The town where they had settled was small, and even though the guards had secured the best inns, it was still very shabby. The lobby of the inn can put seven or eight tables, and it is separated by Hongzhi, and this compartment occupies nearly half of the lobby.
Jinrong deliberately sat at a table with Ye Xinyan, and while eating, he told Ye Xinyan about Jiang Yifan's proposal to operate a rail carriage in the capital, asked her opinion, and asked her whether to do it or not.
Ye Xinyan didn't expect Jiang Yifan to make this kind of arrangement, she thought about it, this matter can be done, she has something to do in the capital, and it also saves her boredom every day and is disturbed by others. And she is helping His Royal Highness King Yu to do things, there is such a good reason, she can come and go in and out of the Anguo Mansion at will, and she is much more comfortable.
Merely......
"It can be done," Ye Xinyan said while wiping his hands after drinking the soup in the small bowl, "It's just that the sixth master should know that this kind of thing is just imaginary, and we haven't actually done it, and there may be something wrong in the process of doing it, and it will take time and manpower to adjust and improve." ”
Jinrong nodded, "This is, Yuanfan and I have thought of it, Yuanfan also said, Ye Zi, if you can have a plan on the road and arrive in the capital, you can start to act immediately, at least you can operate during this time in the capital, and if there is a problem, it can be solved in time." ”
"That's good. And ......" Ye Xinyan looked at Jinrong calmly and said, "This is a laborious thing, how much does the sixth master plan to pay for handing over this matter to the little woman?" ”
Jinrong suddenly heard Ye Xinyan's question, and almost squirted out the rice that had just been put into her mouth.
Mama Jin has long been surprised by this kind of thing, but Song Ping's family is frowning. No one has really explained her true identity as the eldest lady of her family, but she is also a slave who has served in the mansion, and the person who can make His Royal Highness King Yu and the Duke of Anguo treat him like this, is not a look, but the eldest lady was originally the eldest lady of the Duke of Anguo.
As for why the eldest lady didn't stay in the Guogong Mansion and why she had the reputation of an abandoned woman, she couldn't guess. Although the status of the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion is very high, is it not good to help the prince who has been crowned the king to do things so directly?
Ye Xinyan couldn't see the expressions of Mama Jin and Song Ping's family behind her, but she could see Hongzhi and a long entourage standing behind Jinrong.
She glanced over, saw that the expressions of the two were different, retracted her gaze, raised her eyebrows and asked Jinrong: "What?" Is there a problem with what the little woman said? ”
Jinrong swallowed the food in his mouth with great difficulty, and then said with an indescribable expression: "No problem, naturally there will be no problem." I just don't understand a little, seeing that you are going back to the Anguo Mansion, when the time comes, isn't Mrs. Shizi's silver for you to spend so hard? Why are you still so concerned about money? ”
Ye Xinyan twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said, "The sixth master also said that it was the little woman's mother's silver." I was talking to the sixth master about the silver I earned myself, that's different. ”
Although they were already very acquainted, Jinrong was still surprised by Ye Xinyan's direct speech. Did she mean that her mother's money was hers and her family's, and that his money was not earned in vain?
"One thousand taels, you have to adjust the operation of the rail carriage and operate normally." Jinrong gave the amount of remuneration, and also said the conditions by the way.
"One thousand taels is too little, two thousand taels." Ye Xinyan said.
Now it's not about whether it's worth the money or not, but in this world, only she knows the operating mode and advantages and disadvantages of the railcar. Her history of Western transportation is not studied in vain, which is a classic example of the transformation of knowledge into silver.
If she can't even earn this money, is she worthy of her identity as a thousand years later? Is it worthy of the painstaking efforts of our crooked ancestors and their contributions to the development of the capital economy? This is by no means a matter of her money, but a matter of principle that must not be compromised.
Jinrong looked at Ye Xinyan's determined face, considered it for a long time, and then gave a price: "I suddenly felt that the price I gave just now was too high, you actually didn't do a lot of things, eight hundred taels is a more appropriate amount." ”
"Sixth Master, find someone else." Ye Xinyan immediately sank her face, stood up, threw the handkerchief in her hand to Song Ping's family, and turned around to leave.
Two thousand taels of silver are the price of conscience, and it can no longer be the price of conscience, but eight hundred taels, what do you think?
You old man find someone to do it yourself, the Western rail carriage went through many twists and turns, and finally ran successfully, during which the smashed into it was hi. You also have to pay a lot of tuition fees to buy experience and lessons.
Jin Rong saw Ye Xinyan turn his face instantly, and an irrepressible smile appeared on his lips, "Okay, okay, two thousand taels." It's up to you, two thousand taels is fine. ”
Ye Xinyan raised her chin and dropped a sentence: "There are a lot of things to do after the little woman returns to Beijing, and she may not have time, let me think about it again." Then, without the slightest hesitation, he went back to his room.
Hey, this girl may not be willing to serve, just like His Royal Highness King Yu, your old man said, this girl's mother has a lot of silver, it just depends on whether this girl is willing to take it, and how much she is willing to take.
Jinrong smiled and shook her head, continuing to eat his meal. He really didn't understand that Ye Xinyan had been supported by brocade clothes and jade food since he was a child, but it was a little more difficult during the period when he escaped from the Anguo Mansion, how could he become so obsessed with money, and it seemed that he couldn't change his appearance.
After the first few days, Qi Sanshun and Qi Jia'er began to get tired of hurrying.
The two of them were no longer so interested in switching seats between the carriage and the wheel, and most of the time they shrunk in the carriage and played with some gadgets that Qi Jia'er carried. Sometimes I would lift the cotton curtains of the car windows, look out of the window blankly, and occasionally the two of them would say a sentence or two, showing helplessness and boredom.
After more than half a month of travel, Ye Xinyan saw that the two children were pitiful, racking their brains to reminisce, what kind of games boys like and suitable for playing in a small space.
She is not a boy, and she has no deep impression of the games played by boys, and in her memory, it seems that only land chess is more suitable for boys to play. It's just that she has to think carefully about what kind of content and rules that thing is.
She told the guards who went to the next stop to arrange accommodation, and found a carpenter's shop to saw fifty small wooden blocks eight inches long, five minutes wide, and three points thick, and planned to make a pair of land chess pieces for Qi Sanshun and Qi Jia'er to kill time.
The guard was stunned at first when he heard this order, and then asked cleverly if he needed to polish it.
Ye Xinyan thought about it, it was not good to delay the time of the guards because of polishing the wooden blocks, besides, letting the two little guys polish it by themselves could also sharpen their temperament. In the end, I decided to buy two files and come back and polish them myself. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself?
