Chapter 12: The Contest
"If you want as much silver as you want, just ask." Leng Yuan turned around and stared at Mu Ling coldly, his tone was as tough as ever, "You can also do what I said that night, you go back to the house with me, and I will carry you as a concubine." As long as you don't think about what you shouldn't think, I will protect you for the rest of your life. ”
Although Mu Ling had very little contact with Leng Yuan, he also knew that this person was dark and cunning, and he was very difficult to deal with.
In addition, he has now regained his memory, and he has recovered his identity, and he has habitually played the prestige of being a person in power. It's not impossible.
is under the rat trap, and the result will definitely not be able to get any benefits.
She took a few deep breaths, suppressed her cold and hard temperament for the time being, and said softly: "It's not impossible for you to take away three children." Before you take your three children, though, I want to say a few words to you in peace. If nothing else, just children. ”
"Sit down." Mu Ling saw Leng Yuan standing still, and felt funny, "Don't worry, no matter what your identity is, I won't think about you that you shouldn't be." "Otherwise, he wouldn't have given him a letter of Hugh to roll as far as he wanted.
Leng Yuan glanced at Mu Ling, returned to the original chair, sat down slowly, put his hands on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and sat upright.
Then, he raised his face and stared at Mu with disgust, a little peasant girl with a low status, even if she looked through the painting book, she probably couldn't find a few decent words.
Or should he be in charge.
Quick.
"Needless to say, a fixed price, five thousand taels." Leng Yuan shook his left palm with five fingers open, and said in a contemptuous tone like a flower: "Two thousand taels is the hard money you have spent taking care of me for nearly two years. Three thousand taels is the hard work for you to give birth to three children and raise them until they are one year old. ”
Seeing that Mu Ling was always looking at him silently, Leng Yuan's warning gradually became stronger, "Don't be too greedy, five thousand taels of silver is enough for you and your parents to squander in the rest of your life." ”
Mu Ling heard Leng Yuan mention the silver again, she didn't rush to reply, but squatted down unhurriedly, slowly dragged out a fourteen-inch wooden box from under the bed, and opened it casually, revealing a ten-inch night pearl.
The pale green light emitted by the night pearl instantly diluted the pattern of the woven lanterns sprinkled all over the room.
Rao is Leng Yuan, who has seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and when he saw such a big night pearl, he couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment and gasped.
He stared at the night pearl in the box for a long time, as bright as the moon and outside, and the clear light seemed to shine on the crystal palace.
It's the best color.
Mu Ling looked at Leng Yuan as if he was blinded by the night pearl and the titanium alloy dog eyes, and secretly laughed, the night pearl is just calcium difluoride and arsenic sulfide, in a certain treasure in Huaguo, you can find various colors and sizes in minutes.
And it's not expensive.
Ai Ci Space is also available in a variety of colors and sizes.
A few days ago, the reason why she used the camp lamp to coax Mu Daqiang and the Yao family was just because of the upgrade of the shelves of Ai Ci's space. Ai Ci really couldn't take out the night pearl that had sunk to the bottom of the container at the first time.
"How about this priceless night pearl for you, and the three children continue to live by my side?"
This night pearl is made of high-quality materials and meticulously polished, and it is indeed worth a lot. Compared with the foundation of King Zhang's mansion, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Boom! Leng Yuan threw the Night Pearl back into the wooden box in annoyance, "Presumptuous! How can the bloodline of this son be compared with a broken stone? ”
Mu Ling almost laughed angrily, "You don't want to give you the priceless night pearl, why do you give me a mere five thousand taels and I have to agree?" ”
Leng Yuan's warm voice revealed an indisputable coercion, "I can't help but disagree!" ”
"You ask yourself, do you really like children?" Mu Ling closed the lid of the wooden box and pushed it back under the bed. The light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot, and the pattern of the woven lantern cast on the room instantly returned to its previous appearance.
Leng Yuan deliberately diverted the topic, "Where did the contents of the box come from?" ”
Mu Ling stood up, stared at Leng Yuan's dark face, and said bluntly: "It can be seen that you don't like children. ”
"I'm asking you." No one dared to turn a deaf ear to his questioning, let alone speak to him in such a tone.
Leng Yuan's deep eyes suddenly surged with a murderous aura.
Didn't he just avoid answering her questions?
Mu Ling glanced at Leng Yuan, the son of the world is amazing?!
Well, the prince is the future prince, the existence of super products, pinching her, a little commoner, is as simple as pinching a little ant to death.
If she is alone, she has no scruples, but she has a father and a mother, and three sons who are only one year old...
Never mind! For the custody of the three children, he will be given three points for the time being.
"Dig out of the cracks in the walls of the cellar." She said this set of words to Mu Daqiang and Yao for the first time, and now she said it to Leng Yuan for the second time, Mu Ling felt more and more that this was indeed the case.
"Eleven were dug up at that time." Mu Ling's eyes widened suddenly, and he said with a concern: "How expensive is white rice now!" I brought ten night pearls that were only the size of my fist into the city, and I actually came back with three ox carts of white rice! ”
"......" Leng Yuan instantly heard the black line full, Zhangzhou has been in drought for many years, and it is true that grain prices have skyrocketed. But the ten fist-sized night pearls were only exchanged for three ox carts of grain, and she was obviously miserable, she was still happy like this, sneer!
Mu Ling took in Leng Yuan's sneer, pretended to have a helpless expression, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "You should think my approach is stupid, right?" ”
Leng Yuan snorted coldly, even though she was still a little self-aware.
"But there's no way I can do it." Mu Ling hung his hands at his sides, twisted his pretty face to the side, and after brewing his emotions for a while, he spoke again, "Now, the drought in the entire Zhangzhou is serious, not to mention that the farmers are full of food and clothing, and even drinking water has become a luxury. ”
"Everyone has no food, one meal a day, or even one meal every two days, tighten their belts, and the days are gone. But there is a lack of water, a shortage of water everywhere, a perennial shortage of water, and many times, there is no water to boil gruel for my three one-year-old sons, and the heartache, helplessness and despair are really devastating. ”
Snorting, Mu Ling continued: "The old fairy gave me a dream, saying that the dry well in the southeast corner of my house can definitely dig out water if it is dug dozens of zhang deeper. ”
"However, if the dry well is dug dozens of feet deeper, if it depends on me and my father, how long will it take to dig it? But as a newcomer, I am fortunate not to be excluded by the villagers. When you gather the villagers to do something, you must give them a reward that is enough to make them happy. ”
"So, after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to quietly transport ten of the night pearls that I got by chance into the city to exchange for food and distribute them to the villagers who dug wells for me."
"In the eyes of a powerful person like you, the Night Pearl may be a rare treasure. But in the eyes of me, a mother who urgently needs a scoop of water to make hot porridge for her three young children, it is just a hard and heavy stone. ”
"If the dry well can really produce water again, it will be convenient for our own water and can also benefit our neighbors. Those ten night pearls are also considered to be the best use. ”
At the end, Mu Ling looked at Leng Yuan and asked with a smile: "What do you say?" ”
