Chapter Twenty-Four: The Power of Eating Melon Seeds
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
"Grab money as fast as you!"
Bai Susu looked at the amount of three thousand taels written on it, and was dizzy for a while.
This man is crazy about money.
She remembered one thing, in the early days of the succession of the third prince Xiao Pingzhang, there was a plague, and the imperial court wanted to provide relief, but the treasury was empty and could not take out the silver.
The succession of the three princes to the throne was already too much criticism inside and outside the government and the opposition, and a large-scale plague occurred at the beginning of the succession, and rumors have long been spread among the people.
The ministers of the court and the central government were waiting for the young emperor to deal with this problem, but what people didn't expect was that the new emperor calmly let people open his own private treasury and take out 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief.
The plague was suppressed as quickly as possible, and the new emperor's throne was secured.
But many people are also very curious, where did the three princes, who have been living abroad for many years, come from with 100,000 taels of silver.
Bai Susu happened to hear Lord Lu mention it at that time, and he also said casually at that time, about because he had saved it by picking the door.
Because of this joke, she was also punished by Lord Lu for writing the three-character scripture for a month, and her tired wrist was almost broken.
At this moment, Bai Susu thought back to the past, she felt that she was really prescient, and this person's nature of picking the door had already been revealed.
Huh.
"Three thousand taels is too much, I only need to borrow two hundred taels." Bai Susu calculated the medical expenses, and Qingwan's illness was two hundred taels of medical expenses.
"You misunderstood, you borrowed two hundred taels from me, but I want to charge interest, a total of three thousand taels with interest." Zhang Ping stretched out his finger and shook it in front of her eyes, and said in a very serious tone.
Bai Susu's teeth clucked, and he held back a sentence for a while, "You really picked the sky." ”
"Thanks for the compliment." For her sarcasm, the other party obviously did not have any fluctuations.
"Mr. Zhang, who will rely on this for a living in the future, will definitely not worry about eating and drinking in the future." Bai Susu snorted, and said with a smile.
Zhang Ping sighed when he heard this, looking worried, "There's no way, you are from a poor family, so you naturally need silver." ”
Bai Susu gave him one, and you continued to pretend to be a look.
In the end, there was some bargaining, and the three thousand taels became one thousand taels.
In the evening, Bai Susu returned to the room, holding three IOUs in his hand, and pulled his fingers to calculate how much he owed.
According to Zhang Ping's calculation method, it will take her decades to pay it off.
Chunlan came in with hot water, and was startled when she saw her lying on the bed with a sad face and shedding tears.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Chunlan put down the basin and ran over.
"Chunlan, do you know what it's like to be in debt?" Bai Susu wiped her tears and choked up.
Chunlan shook her head and said very truthfully, "The slave doesn't know. ”
Bai Susu sniffed, his voice was extremely sad, "You better find me a rope." ”
In the past few days, she owes more than 2,000 taels of silver, and she is not as fast as she is in burning silver, so how to explain to Lu Zhiyuan this time.
Bai Susu is very sad, she and Lu Zhiyuan have only had a friendship in this life, and the relationship is not deep. If he knew that he was so stupid and owed so much silver, I don't know if he would be angry and throw her out of the ruined concubine.
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Bai Susu looked helpless.
Chunlan was shocked, "How can you do that, what are you going to do?" ”
It turns out how important it is to have a slave who is faithful to the Lord at a certain time.
Just like now, Bai Susu felt that she owed such a large amount of money, and Chunlan was still comforting her.
Auntie, if you want to open something, you see how good the second master is to you, as long as you are coquettish and blow the pillow wind, the second master will pay you back.
Bai Susu flickered when he heard this, and felt that it made a lot of sense.
She is now a little homesick, thinking that she should go home early and find a pillow as soon as possible to practice blowing.
Qingwan's situation was not good or bad, and the person who sent someone to pick her up from the Lu family also arrived.
Bai Susu was sitting in the carriage on the way back, Chunlan was dozing off with her head down, she reached out and lifted the curtain to look out.
In front of the car was a young man on a horse, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome and impeccable face, and a faint and indifferent smile.
This face alone, no matter from which angle, makes people feel like a spring breeze, but Bai Susu has no intention of appreciating it, the more she looks at it, the more annoyed she feels.
I really haven't seen such a black-eyed person, and when she gets home, she must find Lu Zhiyuan to sue her.
Bai Susu scolded in her heart for a long time, and the person riding the horse in front of her suddenly turned around, and the emotions on her face didn't have time to be put away, so she fell into the other party's pupils.
A feeling of darkness hitting the sky, reflecting the red-hot clouds in the sky, crashed into her sight as the sun was about to set.
So much so that many years later, Bai Susu recalled this scene again, and still felt that the young man Langjun at this moment had a kind of shocking beauty.
"Are you secretly scolding me again?" The ride slowed down, and soon paralleled her car.
Bai Susu laughed twice, "How is it possible." ”
"I hope so, you probably don't know much about me." She heard the man's voice drift into her ears very softly, "I'm a cautious and vengeful person, if I let me know that someone scolds me behind my back, then I will definitely retaliate." ”
She looked at the smiling face in front of her in the backlight, and always felt an inexplicable chill.
Bai Susu immediately nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I must silently wish you a long life every day in my heart." ”
Zhang Ping raised his eyebrows, the more he pondered about this, the more it didn't taste.
From Liuhua County to Anyang County, the distance is not far or close, and it only takes a little more than a day to get there if you hurry up.
But because there was Qingwan in the carriage, she was still unconscious, so the speed was put to the slowest level.
Chunlan fell asleep, got up and shook her head, and became energetic again.
Bai Susu glanced at her and shook her head helplessly.
That's probably what the lust fan knows.
Chunlan was spontaneously peeling the melon seeds, which was not a long time, and the melon seeds were piled up on the plate, and there was already a small pile.
Such a diligent maid should be happy for anyone, but Bai Susu only feels a headache.
This girl tossed for a long time, but it wasn't for her at all.
Chunlan didn't know where she learned that Zhang Ping likes to eat melon seeds, so she went to buy a big bag before leaving, looking at this posture, she is not going to stop these days.
Click, click, click!
Click, click, click!
Bai Susu felt that her whole head was about to crack, and she really wanted to kick Chunlan down with this non-stop sound.
But she adhered to the idea that she was a generous and kind master, and she still tolerated and pretended not to hear anything.
She didn't hear it, but Qingwan, who was lying in the car and was unconscious, seemed to be a little unbearable.
"Auntie, you can see that Miss Wan seems to be frowning."
"Auntie, you can see that Miss Wan seems to have moved her fingers again."
Bai Susu looked at the startled Chunlan with an unfathomable expression, she was deeply worried, this maid probably released her nature, why didn't she find out that she was so .....
Idiots.
Qingwan was probably also irritated by the magic sound of swallowing melon seeds, and she woke up on the last day of her arrival in Anyang County.
Qingwan, who had just opened her eyes, had a beautiful face that was a little thin, but this did not hinder her beauty, on the contrary, the sick beauty was more weak than usual and wanted to be protected.
Bai Susu said with concern, "Qingwan, are you uncomfortable?" ”
She looked at Qingwan as if she wanted to speak, but she hanged herself and injured her throat, and the doctor said that it would take a long time to recover.
Qingwan's eyes were red, and she stretched out her hand to her, and Bai Susu hurriedly held it.
"Do you have anything to say?" She asked again.
Qingwan grabbed her hand, held it for a long time, and finally spit out a few words, then rolled her eyes and fainted again.
"Don't eat melon seeds......"
Bai Susu was shocked.
In this case, she could only treat Chunlan with a gaze of deep admiration.
......
"There's an inn in front, it's not early, let's stay here for a night, it's not safe to walk at night." Zhang Ping's voice came through the curtain.
Bai Susu just wanted to answer, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Chunlan's bright eyes on the side, so she asked her to answer.
"Auntie said listen to sir." Chunlan cherishes every opportunity to talk to Zhang Ping, even if it is such a sentence, she seems very happy.
"Okay." Zhang Ping's voice seemed to have some kind of smile in it.
The carriage stopped at the door of the inn, Bai Susu got out of the car, and Xiao Er led the carriage to the back to feed the forage.
Zhang Ping asked for a few rooms, and everyone stayed to rest.
The inn is not big, inside and outside the shop, Xiao Er is busy working alone, Chunlan urged hot water a few times, but he didn't get it, so he was ready to do it himself in desperation.
Bai Susu stretched out her hand to push open the window, originally intending to breathe, but she didn't want the window to open, she saw Zhang Ping also standing by the window.
"Aunt Bai, such a coincidence." Zhang Ping had a smile on his face, saying that he was laughing, but that smile was not warm no matter how he looked at it.
In her and Zhang Ping's room, the window is facing each other, and the distance between the two of them can be heard without shouting.
"I heard that Mr. is from the capital?" Bai Susu nodded at her, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Yes." Zhang Ping's eyes turned around her, and then continued, "Aunt Bai is very curious about this? ”
Bai Susu said, "I grew up in a small village since I was a child, and I have never been to the capital, so I asked." ”
"It's just a big cage." Zhang Ping was obviously not interested in this topic, and only said this sentence before falling silent.
Bai Susu saw that his face sank, and his eyes were deep and he didn't know what to think, so he lowered the window.
Chunlan came back with water, she simply freshened up, and had dinner, and the sky outside had all darkened.
There was a melodious sound outside.
