Chapter 12: Drinking. I saw only an IOU

"Okay."

Di Jinxuan's jade-like eyes swept through a trace of imperceptible joy. The first time I asked a woman to come to the restaurant for dinner, I was to ask him to be the future princess, and she could be so frank, which was quite to his liking.

She is not powdered, her clear and clear beautiful eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when she looks forward to it, she has a terrifying charm.

At this time, Di Jinxuan was eighteen years old, and his blood was strong. There were a lot of women peeking at him before, but his mind was not emotional at all. Now when I saw the future princess, I couldn't help but pat her right hand on the shoulder.

Ji Qingge's gaze fell in surprise on his right hand that was lightly placed on her shoulder, and he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Wang, this is ......" I really don't understand his routine.

"Pour the wine."

Stretching out his finger and pointing at the small gin jug, Di Jinxuan said jokingly: "Come out for dinner, how can there be so much nonsense?" ”

Ji Qingge poured two glasses of wine, respectfully handed it to Di Jinxuan, and toasted him. She tilted her head to remove a drop from a glass of wine, then gently shook the empty glass so that he could see clearly.

There was a smell of medicine in the wine, and there was still the smell of medicine and wine between her lips and teeth. It is not difficult to see that he is a man with a delicate mind.

As soon as the all-you-can-drink mode was turned on, Ji Qingge only felt that his injured skin was no longer painful, and he didn't care much about everything in the General's Mansion. Sitting in front of the window, she glanced at the splendid royal buildings, and her eyes revealed a helplessness that could not be hidden.

With modern thoughts, she will enter the palace in a few days.

The Di Jinxuan in front of her is the fiancΓ© of the original owner, and now he is her fiancΓ©. She only knew that the original owner liked him very much, although she hadn't seen him for many years.

But he seems to have someone in his heart.

But she is about to marry him, and she has to spend her youth in the deep palace high courtyard like other women in the palace. She is a woman with modern thoughts, and she must not be allowed to suffocate to death if she lives that kind of life?

She smiled lightly and poured another glass of wine for Di Jinxuan. Said: "Lord Wang, the effect of this wine is really good. I only drank half a pot, and I felt that the wound didn't hurt much. ”

"Hmm."

Di Jinxuan had been secretly observing Ji Qingge. Even if she had looked at the palace not far away through the half-open window, he had discovered it.

He saw Ji Qingge drinking cup after cup, as if he was testing the amount of wine with him. After drinking a pot of medicinal wine, he asked the shopkeeper to send another pot.

"Lord Wang, I can't drink anymore." Ji Qingge said sincerely: "If you drink it again, I won't be able to pick up Xingyu." ”

"Yan Fengxing will arrange it himself, you don't have to worry."

Di Jinxuan saw Yan Fengxing before Ji Qingge rushed to Jinghu Yiyuan Restaurant. The other party said: "My father wants to go to court with Ji Mochu, but Du Wei and them mediate." Ji Mochu didn't have much silver taels, so he set up an IOU. ”

After speaking, Yan Fengxing took the IOU to Di Jinxuan.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to share dinner with Ji Qingge, Di Jinxuan took out an IOU from his sleeve and gave it to her.

Ji Qingge opened it and saw that the handwriting on the IOU was sloppy, which made her look a little difficult.

Fortunately, I still understand it.

["Today I owe Ji Qingge two or three thousand taels of silver and five hundred taels of gold to Ji Fu. Return by today next year.

According to this.

Borrower: Ji Mochu

Guarantor: Du Wei

On the second day of the first month of November in the thirty-fifth year of Xiyue. ”】

The IOU has Ji Mochu's name and his handprint, as well as the signature of the guarantor Du Wei. Even though Ji Qingge was a little unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to give up.

After all, the furniture sold by Ji Mochu, the destroyed antiques and other items are not easy to value.

Measured by the thoughts of a modern woman like her, Ji Mochu's family has lived in the General's Mansion for six years, and at least the rent has to be calculated. But no.

It's a blessing to be able to go back to the empty shell of the General's Mansion. If it weren't for Di Jinxuan's help, I'm afraid she wouldn't come back.

She looked at Di Jinxuan with expectant eyes, only to see that he was looking at the palace not far away. A building in a prominent part of the palace was brightly lit, and his gaze stayed there for a long time.

Ji Qingge stretched out his hand and pointed to the building, and asked tentatively, "Lord Wang, where is it...... It's your Xiao Wangfu, right? ”

"Exactly." Di Jinxuan raised his eyebrows lightly and told her, "In a few days, this king will marry the princess." ”

Ji Qingge's heart sank slightly. She accepted the body of the original owner, so she could only accept the marriage contract of the original owner. Although she understood, Di Jinxuan only said that he wanted to marry her, but did not say what it meant to like her.

He is the god of war who is admired by thousands of people, and the day of the wedding is naturally a matter of much attention. Seeing that the wedding day is coming, she does not have a dowry.

The dowry was sent to the Ji Mansion by Di Jinxuan last month, but it was forcibly taken away by Ji Mochu, and she didn't have the opportunity to see how valuable the dowry was.

At this time, if you go to theorize with Ji Mochu, at most you can only be noisy, but you can't solve the actual problem.

The most important thing at the moment is to borrow money to buy a dowry. And the only person she can find is Di Jinxuan.

Although Yan Li is her cousin, she already owes Yan Li a favor, so it is not good to owe the other party money. What's more, Yan Li is only Yan Xinying's cousin, and the blood relationship is not very close. If it weren't for the fact that he and Ji Mochen had a brother-in-law relationship and a superior-subordinate relationship, they wouldn't have much contact.

Ji Qingge raised his glass elegantly and toasted Di Jinxuan. She sniffed the faint fragrance that permeated the quiet and elegant room, and said sincerely: "Lord Wang, can you lend me some silver taels?" At most, it will be returned to the prince, and an IOU can be made. ”

Although it was a little difficult to say this, she didn't have too much pressure to say it while she was drinking.

Seeing that Di Jinxuan was silent, she had no choice but to put a piece of fish paste in her mouth, pretending to be tasting the food. Although this fish paste is as delicious as the fish paste of the 21st century, her mind is not on the deliciousness.

To her surprise, Di Jinxuan readily agreed.

He didn't even ask about the purpose of borrowing the silver taels, but said, "Okay." ”

Ji Qingge drank another glass of medicinal wine, and then looked at the desk before the collapse, only to see that there was rice paper and pen and ink on the desk, so he said: "Then I will take pen and ink to set up an IOU now." ”

"Wait a minute."

Di Jinxuan told her with a serious face, "This is the first time in this king's life to borrow money, why do you have to make a rule?" ”

"That's, that's inevitable."

I thought that I would become Princess Xiao in a few days, no matter how many rules he could make, it was only right to borrow money to buy a dowry first. Otherwise, if she marries into King Xiao's Mansion empty-handed, she will not let the people in the imperial city see her laughing?

It will also lose face for Di Jinxuan.

"How much are you going to borrow?" Di Jinxuan said solemnly: "If it is less than 10 million taels of silver, you don't need to borrow it." ”

"Huh?"

Ji Qingge looked stunned and said embarrassedly: "Lord Wang, I'm just borrowing some money to get through the difficulties." It's not a money bank, so you can't borrow so much. ”
