Chapter 179: I saved up the dowry and wanted to marry a girl
A few people were not excited because they had found Ling Yehan, and they turned around and were about to be robbed of their property.
These subordinates were a little confused, but because the person in front of them was the real master, they were not verbose, lowered their heads and began to touch their pockets.
A group of big men stood at the door, searched all over their bodies, and finally handed Ling Yehan more than four taels of silver.
It's all broken silver, and some of it is even copper, which looks really shabby.
Ling Yehan frowned, looking at the broken pieces of silver they piled together, he couldn't help but say, "Why are you so depressed when I have been missing for less than half a year?" ”
Although the life of the border soldiers is hard, Ling Yehan never treats the soldiers under his command badly.
Every year, the salary given by the imperial court is fully allocated, and one-third of the spoils obtained in the war will be allocated to the soldiers.
Not to mention these henchmen of the soldiers who have a small position, they are ordinary soldiers, at least they can find two taels of silver on their bodies.
Outcome...... So many people made him four taels of silver.
Ling Yehan was really puzzled.
Seeing this, Hou Jingwu smiled awkwardly, and lowered his voice: "After His Highness disappeared, there was chaos in the army. Don't talk about military salaries, because even if you lose the battle, the court doesn't pay you food, and it also decrees to condemn us...... The brothers had a problem eating and drinking, and they had no money. ”
The small one next to him added in a low voice: "Originally, before leaving the barracks, I also had some money on my body." But we also cost some money to walk around and eat and drink, so ......"
Ling Yehan listened, was silent for a while, and finally returned the money back.
Even the money that Hou Jingwu had paid was returned.
Hou Jingwu was stunned and whispered: "Your Highness, your subordinates don't need any money now, ...... you"
Ling Yehan waved his hand and said, "I'll figure it out myself." ”
He touched his hand to the jade pendant in his arms, and hesitated for a long time before taking it out.
This is a symbol of the royal family, and the jade pendant is expensive and carved with Tengtu, and Ling Yehan almost never takes it out.
In the past, he only felt that this jade pendant should be related to his identity, so he didn't dare to use it easily. But now it seems...... It's just a piece of jade pendant, if it's gone, it's gone, the people of the whole world and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, is there anyone who doesn't dare to recognize him Ling Yehan?
As for the leak of the news, it should have been time to go back, and it didn't matter if the other party found out that he was still alive.
Thinking like this, Ling Yehan's heart was calm, and his face became gentle.
Hou Jingwu saw that Ling Yehan took out all the jade pendants, and even had the idea of wanting to be the other party, and was shocked: "Master, do you owe a lot of money......
Otherwise, why do you want to try to get money?
Ling Yehan glanced at him, his expression was a little embarrassed: "Not really, I ...... it"
Probably felt a little embarrassed, or ashamed to speak, after a pause, Ling Yehan calmed down and said slowly: "I'm saving for a dowry and want to marry a girl." ”
"Marry, marry, marry?"
Hou Jingwu stammered in disbelief, and the others' eyes widened.
Ling Yehan didn't look at the eyes of a few people, just nodded, and looked serious: "I am now a penny, and I have no fixed place. So I want to save more money so that I can hire her when the time comes. ”
Ling Yehan said it seriously, but the others only felt that it was a bolt from the blue!
Their wise and brave god of war, the prince, actually wants to marry a girl in this place?
Isn't he going back to the barracks?
Ling Yehan seemed to see everyone's thoughts, his face calmed down, and explained, "I will go back with you soon, but before leaving, I have to deal with this matter." ”
He couldn't give Zhao Xiaohe a signal, but he lost his trust.
It's that I don't have time to come back after the year, at least give her a large amount of money as a dowry and get engaged, so that she can feel more at ease.
Hou Jingwu and the others looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything, they only nodded and said yes again and again.
Ling Yehan didn't say anything else, and only took a few brothers to the pawnshop in the county seat.
As soon as the jade pendant was taken out, the pawnshop's owner's eyes lit up, he felt that this jade pendant was extraordinary, but he still couldn't help but suppress the price.
"Fifty taels, this jade pendant ......"
Hearing that the other party only gave fifty taels of silver, Hou Jingwu scolded angrily: "Blind your dog's eyes? Take a good look at what this jade pendant is. You can't buy it with five thousand taels of silver, and you dare to pay fifty taels? ”
After that, he looked at Ling Yehan and said, "Master, let's go!" ”
Ling Yehan glanced at the shopkeeper with serious and cold eyes, put away the jade pendant, turned around and walked out.
Seeing this, the boss hurriedly ran out and said, "Guest officer, Fang Cai looked down and looked away, so I offended you." Can you let me take a look and make a bid for you when I'm ready? ”
Ling Yehan glanced at him and said lightly: "Less than three hundred taels of silver, don't talk about it." ”
The shopkeeper paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, show me again." ”
A few people returned to the store at this time, and the shopkeeper took the jade pendant to check it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became.
Don't say what is the carved ornament on this jade pendant, just the material, you can't buy it without a thousand taels of silver.
I don't know what the identity of this man is?
The shopkeeper peeked at Ling Yehan, and when he saw that the other party was looking at him expressionlessly, he smiled and said, "In this way, how about I add fifty taels to the guest officer?" Three hundred and fifty taels of silver. ”
Before Ling Yehan could speak, Hou Jingwu said with a straight face: "No, at least five hundred taels of silver." ”
The shopkeeper's face changed: "Why do you young man blindly offer prices?" Fang Cai also said three hundred taels of silver. ”
"Don't bully us for not understanding the market." Hou Jingwu pointed to the jade pendant and said, "You go to the street and ask, who can afford this kind of jade pendant for ordinary people?" If we weren't short of money, how could we just take a few hundred taels? It's enough to buy your ten pawnshops. ”
The shopkeeper's face changed when he was scolded, Ling Yehan glanced at him and said, "Four hundred and eighty taels of silver, I'll take a step back." ”
The shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Let twenty taels, the son is really generous." ”
"Do you want it? Don't let us change it. ”
The shopkeeper was given a headache by Hou Jingwu's nonsense, but he still said with no change of heart: "Four hundred and twenty taels, you think we can do this business." If it doesn't work, let's switch to another one. ”
Ling Ye coldly sniffed at him, looked at him and said, "Four hundred and sixty taels, a price." ”
The shopkeeper listened to him regress, and he was eager to continue bargaining, but after Ling Yehan's eyes, he finally agreed to come down.
He felt that if he was bargaining this time, the other party would really not sell it to him again.
The two sides successfully negotiated, Ling Yehan handed over the jade pendant to the other party, and the shopkeeper handed over a stack of silver tickets with a denomination of ten taels, and gave him some broken silver as requested.
Holding the heavy money in his hand, Ling Yehan felt a lot more at ease.
