Chapter 62: Lovers Eventually Become Married
Suzhou Acropolis, Mingsha Pavilion.
The old bustard looked at Bao Yuanqian and the three of them with a smile, and with her old and spicy eyes that had been crisscrossing Vanity Fair for many years, needless to say, they all felt that these three people were very different from the last time they saw them.
"Yo, Master Jiang, Lord Bao, rare guest." The old bustard sees people talking about people, and he talks nonsense, "That little blue is empty, and has been waiting for you." ”
Jiang Wei was a little embarrassed to speak, Bao Yuanqian waved his hand and said, "Old bustard, I didn't come here today to have fun. ”
"That's.."
"Ransom."
When the old bustard heard this, an expression of disbelief appeared on the old face that spit cheap rouge.
Ransom... Did you hear that right? Where did these people go to make a windfall, and they were able to ransom people....
Jiang Wei coughed lightly and said, "I remember that you told me before that Xiaolan's ransom price is four hundred taels of silver, right?" With that, he handed a silver ticket to the old bustard.
Bao Yuanqian took off a bag of packages, and there was a sound of silver.
"Old bustard, that's three hundred taels of silver tickets, plus these one hundred taels of silver ingots, is it enough?"
This 100 taels was taken by Bao Yuanqian from home, and he accumulated 2 or 300 taels of silver back and forth, which was more than enough to take this 100 taels.
The old bustard was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly smiled and quipped, "Ouch... My Ginger-sama, that's right. It's four hundred taels. ”
In a flash, he said, "But... That was the price back then, how many days have passed? The price of meat last year was still a penny, but now it is a penny and a half. ”
Jiang Wei frowned a little when he heard this, and his heart was depressed, "How much is it now?" ”
The old bustard laughed, raised five fingers and said, "Five hundred taels of silver." ”
Bao Yuanqian listened to it, and secretly said that this guy is sitting on the ground and raising the price, he really knows how to do business, and he has eaten Jiang Wei's weakness, right?
Jiang Wei took back the silver ticket, and his face was sad.
Bao Yuanqian can still take another hundred taels out, it is nothing more than digging out the family's funds, but the five hundred taels he can see that there is room for negotiation.
At this time, Xiao Lan in the attic on the second floor heard the sound, and also went to the railing and silently looked at the few people who were bargaining below.
"That's it, old bustard, it stands to reason that the thirty taels prepaid after redemption will be returned, but now we don't want it, the right to give it to you together, how about four hundred and thirty taels?" Bao Yuanqian said generously.
The old bustard took a turn of the beads and said with a smile: "Ouch... My Lord Bao, don't you know, this little blue is the top card of my Mingsha Pavilion, and it has earned me a lot of silver... I still feel like I'm losing five hundred taels. ”
Seeing that the price had not arrived, he poked his younger brother and said with a cloth: "Brother, what's wrong?" ”
Bao Yuanqian winked, and Bao Butong smiled wryly, "Brother.... This.."
He knew that there were twenty taels of silver in this blanket, so he stretched out his hand and glared at him, and Bao Butong had no choice but to take out twenty taels of silver.
Bao Yuanqian took it and put it on the table together with the silver ticket in Jiang Wei's hand, "The old bustard silver ticket is three hundred taels, one hundred and twenty taels of silver, plus the previous thirty taels, I think.... Enough, right? ”
The old bustard looked at the silver on the table and was a little silent.
Bao Yuanqian smiled and said: "Old bustard, as the saying goes, I'd rather destroy ten temples than break up a marriage, you will be merciful and merciful, and fulfill this hard-working pair of mandarin ducks, right?" ”
When the old bustard heard this, there was some ambiguity.
Xiaolan above, knowing that Bao Jiang and the others were here to redeem themselves, had tears in their eyes, nervously grabbed the wooden fence, frightened, their hearts were pounding, they couldn't breathe, and they didn't know when their nails were pierced into the cracks in the wood.
She understands that this will determine her fate..... Whether she is a prostitute all her life, or an ordinary person, even if she is the lowest lowly, she is willing!
"They are all hard-working people, so why bother more seriously? If you need help in the future, although I, the chief flag officer, and Lao Jiang, a small official, are not big, if we can help you, we will help you, and please eat and drink with your brothers in the future, and you will not be allowed to come here. ”
As soon as these words came out, the old bustard's eyes lit up, as if he had seized a business opportunity, and said with a smile: "Then I will sell the two adults a face, and these fifty taels of bento should be regarded as my accumulation of yin virtue..."
"Song San'er! Take Xiaolan's deed of sale!! With a quick wave of her old hand, she resounded in the chamber.
Jiang Wei listened to it, and his heart was overjoyed!
"Click.." A series of small, eager footsteps were heard on the stairs.
"Brother Jiang!!" A cry of joy and tears.
Bao Yuan Qiannian looked up and saw a shadow flying into Jiang Wei's arms!
The two hugged each other tightly, whirling and hugging, regardless of the presence of others, and kissed affectionately.
The old bustard came over, and when he looked at this scene, he felt quite a match, and he smiled with a fan.
"Look, bustard, isn't this a merit?" Bao Yuanqian said with a smile on the side.
He looked at Lao Jiang, who was so shy here, and was able to kiss Xiaolan regardless of others, and he could feel that the two of them knew and loved each other sincerely, and their love was stronger than Jin.
sighed lightly, there is a lover in his heart who will eventually become a family, but he has become an orphan in the period of lovelorn.
"Brother Bao, your great kindness, Xiaolan is toothless and unforgettable!" I saw Xiaolan on the side suddenly kneeling down in front of Bao Yuanqian, crying pear blossoms with rain.
Bao Yuanqian hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Brother and sister don't have to see each other, Jiang Wei is my brother, and his business is my Bao Yuanqian's business, so I will live a solid life with Lao Jiang in the future." ”
Jiang Wei clenched his fists solemnly and said with a long sigh of relief: "Big bag... I..."Although he is both civil and military, he is now also clogged up.
As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down like that little blue, but Bao Yuanqian hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Old Jiang, you can't help it." Between you and me, don't say this word of grace and thanks. ”
Bao Yuanqian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Do you know why I am a brother with you?" What Lao Tzu likes is your uninhibited heroism and arrogance. I will be meticulous and behave appropriately at the trough, but don't let me look at the wrong person! ”
Jiang Wei nodded with a smile, and Bao Yuanqian looked at the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks with his hands and sighed: "You guys are in pairs, but it's a pity for me... Ha ha.. I won't mention it. ”
"Brother, it's okay, and I'll accompany you." Bao Butong leaned over and said.
"Go, go..."
"Lord Bao, Lord Jiang, come over and settle the deed of sale." Several people were immersed in joy, and the old bustard walked with the deed of sale.
With a stroke of his pen, Bao Yuanqian finished handing over the rubbing copy and handed over the original copy to Jiang Wei for processing.
Needless to say, it is a fire that lacks motivation.
The moment the deed of sale turned into ashes, it also announced the end of Xiaolan's tragic past, just like the non-existent deed, never to be seen again!
.........
"Brother, I think we did a good thing today."
"Then it goes without saying, your brother will definitely succeed!"
After the Bao Yuanqian brothers said goodbye to Jiang Wei and the two, the big thing in their hearts was over, but they were a little comfortable, and they felt lighter on the way home.
Bao Yuanqian thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go, follow me to the jade shop in the north of the city to have a look." ”
"Huh? Elder brother... You've got the money! Bao Butong was surprised when he heard this.
Bao Yuanqian said lightly: "When did I say that I didn't bring any money?" ”
"Then you..." Bao Butong's face turned into a bitter gourd face, and he said hurriedly.
"Bu Tong, think about it, we can have this money, we can mix with the officials, and we can redeem your sister Xiaolan, who should we give the most credit?" Bao Yuanqian said meaningfully.
Although Bao Butong is straight, he is not stupid, so he patted his head and immediately understood.
"Let's go!"
