Chapter 200 500,000 taels of snowflake silver
Han Beiqing has never been so tired as he is today.
She knew in her heart that this feeling of powerlessness and frustration had nothing to do with Han Mao, nor did it have anything to do with the Han family.
After talking with Gu Yin, Han Beiqing really realized that he should reflect on how conceited he was in the past.
After being reborn, she always looked at the world condescendingly from the eyes of a modern person.
She scoffed at many of the backward ideas here, and she always thought of herself as an adult in her thirties. High up, judging the world with an outsider eye. and even judge this era with the values of later generations.
"Gu Yin is right, I'm really stupid." In the dark night, Han Beiqing hugged his knees, leaned on the quilt and muttered to himself.
"I thought I was taking the initiative to move forward, but in fact I wasn't at all, I'm a fool, I'm always used to being led by the nose."
In the past, the nature of her work was to solve the practical problems of the grassroots people, and after the formation of this inertial thinking, she habitually applied it in this era.
But looking back, it seems that he was forging a path to a liberal democracy. In fact, there are many loopholes, and after encountering trouble, there is no ability to solve the problem, so you can only rely on lies and deception.
At the beginning, he used his father's identity as Xiucai to deceive Li County's trust. He also used the Li County Order to establish his prestige in the village and find a job for his cousin. Then he used his cousin to be an errand boy in the county government to deceive others into thinking that he had a very good background, and even a pawn of Li County's order.
If not......
If it hadn't been for saving Brother Dun'er's life at that time, he would have been noticed by the Marquis of Wuyang. The incident in the east window behind that, whether it was a ruffian or Master Cao, the commander of Li County. I won't let myself go easily.
Gu Yin is right, she has empty ideas and no means.
To put it bluntly, she's an idealist through and through. It's just that I'm lucky I didn't meet a bad person.
Gu Yin felt that all this was because she had never seen the world when she was young, had never experienced wind and rain, and had never met jackals.
Only Han Beiqing knows herself, because she has never integrated into this environment, she is a real "foreigner".
"Knock Knock"
Outside the window, someone knocked lightly on the window, startling Han Beiqing.
"Girl, aren't you sleeping? It's already five changes, and Ming'er is Chinese New Year's Eve."
Bai Zhu's voice came in through the window paper, and Han Beiqing replied in a hoarse voice, "It's time to sleep, you can rest too."
Bai Zhu outside the door said, "Girl, no matter what the master said to you. Please don't blame him, the master has suffered too much and suffered a sin that ordinary people have never suffered. I always think about the bad things when I see things, and it's hard to listen to my words. But he meant well, so don't be too sad, girl."
Han Beiqing rolled over impatiently and muttered, "I won't."
Bai Zhu still didn't feel at ease and instructed, "Girl, didn't the master leave you a letter? Sometimes, what the master says and what he thinks in his heart may not be the same thing. Look at the letter, and you'll understand."
Hearing that there was no movement in the room, Bai Zhu stomped on his already numb foot. sighed twice in his hand, shrunk his neck and shivered back to the room.
I don't know how long it took, Han Beiqing got up from the kang. After fumbling around the pillow for a long time, I found a fire fold and wiped it to reveal a faint light.
Holding the fire fold, Han Beiqing walked to the table and lit the candle on the table.
opened Gu Yin's letter and dropped a silver ticket from it. Han Beiqing picked up the silver ticket and put it aside casually. Opening his letter, she couldn't help but pout her lips when she looked at the few words on it.
"Let it go, and do it."
It's really nice to say, people only say "everything is happy" when they leave, and when they meet, they are half-dead with their mistakes. Han Beiqing rolled his eyes angrily at this guy.
"No wonder Bai Zhu said that he had a different heart. With this kind of temperament, he deserves to be too old to even have a daughter-in-law. Everything is happy, I really want everything to be as happy as I like. But the reality is, I'm happy, I
Satisfied. One or two of you are unhappy, run out and discipline me, this is not good, it is not right. Hmph." qδ
Han Beiqing muttered and scolded Gu Yin, and then lazily opened the silver ticket.
"This is the food expenses of the prince? Rich people, pay attention to people, accommodation fees are settled in advance. That's good!"
Han Beiqing thought that this silver ticket was the same as the previous two times, ranging from one to three thousand each time.
Unexpectedly, after opening it, it turned out to be 500,000 taels.
Han Beiqing was startled, and hurriedly put the silver ticket in front of the candlelight and looked at it vigorously. After looking at it again and again, she blew out the candle in one go.
Stuffing the silver ticket in the book, he muttered as he walked, "I must be so tired that my old eyes are so dizzy that I can't even read words." It's going to sleep, it's going to sleep."
The next morning, it was dawning. Han Beiqing got up from the kang and took out the silver ticket given by Gu Yin last night from the book.
Open the door and look for yourself in the daylight.
500,000 taels of silver, clearly written on the silver ticket.
Han Beiqing didn't catch his breath, and his feet fell to the ground weakly. Holding on to the door frame, I took a few deep breaths before my body gained strength.
"White beads, white beads!"
After relieving himself, Han Beiqing couldn't care about being polite. ran to Bai Zhu's room next door and knocked on the door to tell Bai Zhu to get up.
The door opened, and Bai Zhu looked at Han Beiqing with a ghostly look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Zhu looked behind Han Beiqing vigilantly, making sure that nothing dangerous had happened.
Han Beiqing took the silver ticket in his hand and said in a fuss, "Explanation, I need a reasonable explanation."
Bai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and yawned and let Han Beiqing into his room.
"Sit on my bed, though it is not as warm as your kang, it is better than on the ground." Bai Zhu pointed to Han Beiqing's feet, she was wearing thin soft-soled shoes at this time.
"Oh, I'm not cold, you tell me first, what the hell is going on?"
Han Beiqing originally thought that Gu Yin had taken the wrong silver ticket, and the five thousand taels of silver ticket was mistakenly given to five hundred thousand taels.
In fact, even if it is five thousand taels, it will not be spent, but when I think that Dun Ge'er is already the prince of Wuyang who was canonized by the emperor, there are specifications for food and clothing, so the cost will be larger.
But in the large, it is not as much as 500,000 taels.
Sure enough, Bai Zhu's reaction, Han Beiqing knew at a glance that this silver ticket was Gu Yin's original intention.
"Master Hou said, since you are doing things for him, the money must be sufficient." Bai Zhu said it was reasonable, but this money scared Han Beiqing a lot.
"50,000 taels is enough for me to do a lot of things, these 500,000 taels, I, I'm really ......."
"The north is becoming more and more unpeaceful, and the emperor may send the marquis to fight in the north. Once there is a war, several vassal kings in the western realm will also be ready to move. The little money in the girl's hand may not be enough."
Bai Zhu was talking about the court, but what Han Beiqing was listening to was from the side.
Her eyes lit up, and her face was happy: "If there is a war, the grain, cotton, medicinal herbs, and iron and stone will skyrocket, right?"
The opportunity to make a lot of money is here!
