Chapter 143: Fear
Xiaolian stepped forward and opened a box casually.
The boxy box was full of silver, and the flickering light blinded the eyes of the shopkeeper and the young man.
Without waiting for the two to come back to their senses, Xiaolian opened another box.
As the boxes were opened one by one, the shock in the eyes of Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou deepened.
"These—" Shopkeeper Hu breathed heavily, his outstretched hand as if it wasn't his own, "These boxes are full of silver?"
Xin Yu nodded with a smile.
The old shopkeeper grabbed Xin Yu's sleeve and said bitterly: "Boss, we can't do anything illegal!"
With the earning power of the owner, it is enough to be down-to-earth!
Xiaolian sneered, "What did the shopkeeper say, this is our girl's money."
"The owner's money?" Shopkeeper Hu looked at Xin Yu blankly.
Seeing that the old shopkeeper was scared, Xin Yu smiled and said, "Well, it's my Kou family's family wealth, which I brought to Shaoqing's Mansion when I entered Beijing. Now that I'm older, I'm looking for my grandmother to get some back."
"Some ......," Liu Zhou cupped his chin.
This is a small silver mountain, the owner calls it some!
"Shopkeeper, Liu Zhou, I'll bother you two to check it."
Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou glanced at each other, and walked into the "Silver Mountain" in a daze.
"Girl, the stone has come to spread the word that Lord He is looking for you." Frost came to report.
Xin Yu guessed that Master He must have come for the gratuity, so he raised his feet and went to the front.
Although He Qingxiao's heart was greatly affected by the six thousand taels, his face was still calm. When Xin Yu came in, what he saw was a picture of a young man with a posture like Yang silently.
He Qingxiao turned around when he heard the footsteps, and because there were stones, he asked, "Is it convenient for Miss Kou to speak?"
Xin Yu took him into the reception room, poured tea and asked with a smile, "Lord He went and returned, is there anything wrong?"
He Qingxiao took out the small box and put it in front of Xin Yu.
"I didn't expect Miss Kou's reward to be 6,000 taels, so much money really can't be collected."
"Why can't you take it? Didn't you say that you would pay a hundred and one to Lord He?" Xin Yu tilted his head slightly, full of puzzlement.
"But one hundred—"
How could one hundred and one be six thousand taels!
"One hundred is exactly six thousand taels, and the money I got this time is six hundred thousand." Xin Yu said.
He Qingxiao: "......" So it's not that Miss Kou deliberately gave more, but that she got 600,000 taels!
After a long time to calm down, He Qingxiao's eyes when he looked at Xin Yu were a little complicated: "Six thousand taels is indeed too much, I just walked around with Miss Kou, I deserve it, please take it back."
Xin Yu pushed the small box back, "In my opinion, six thousand taels is not much. I borrowed Lord He's prestige to deter Xiaoxiao, isn't it worth six thousand taels?"
He Qingxiao listened and twitched the corners of his mouth.
He didn't reveal his identity when he went to the two money villages, and only Duan Shaoqing knew that he was the envoy of Jinlin Weizhen, and it was obvious who the "Xiaoxiao" in Miss Kou's mouth was referring to.
Using "Xiaoxiao" to refer to her uncle, Miss Kou is really reckless. You must know that many people in the position of children and nephews are trapped by the religion, even if they have been greatly wronged, they dare not say that their elders are not a word in front of outsiders.
Perhaps he understood that he was born with invisible shackles when he was sensible, and He Qingxiao admired free and easy people.
"Miss Kou—"
Seeing that He Qingxiao was still refusing, Xin Yu's face tensed: "Lord He, do you want me to be a person who is untrustworthy?"
"But—"
"Or does Lord He think that my integrity is not worth six thousand taels?"
He Qingxiao had nothing to say.
Xin Yu shoved the small box into his hand and said with a smile, "If Lord He feels that it is more than expected, can you do one more thing for me?"
He Qingxiao stared at the small box for a moment and compromised.
If she refuses any longer, Miss Kou will be angry.
Miss Kou was angry with him and brazen
received 6,000 taels of gratitude, but he still chose the latter.
"Miss Kou, please speak."
Xin Yu handed over the list sorted out after returning to the east courtyard of the bookstore: "I want to ask Master He to help me check the shop surface on this list to see if there is any problem."
What Shaoqing Mansion spit out, she couldn't let them take it back. Whether these dozen shops are worth 150,000 taels or not is not for Duan Shaoqing to say.
However, these shops are all over the place, and their business directions are also different, and it will be too time-consuming for her to investigate slowly. Since Lord He felt that it was too much to take six thousand taels, he just happened to help her do something more, so that Lord He was at ease, and she also saved trouble.
He Qingxiao took the list and glanced at it: "These shops—"
"It's all mine."
He Qingxiao's hand holding the list shook for a while, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Lord He?"
"Oh, good. When will Miss Kou get results?"
"Don't worry, just a year ago."
It's not long before the Chinese New Year.
After He Qingxiao left, Xin Yu returned to the East Courtyard.
Jiangshuang guarded the door, Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou were lost in the silver mountain, Xiaolian was helping on the side, Mama Fang-
Xin Yu saw Mama Fang wiping her tears.
"Why is the nurse crying?" She walked over and asked.
Mama Fang wiped her eyes and looked excited: "The old slave is happy, happy......
When she was driven to Zhuangzi by Shaoqing's Mansion, she never dreamed that she would be able to do it today.
"Madame would be glad if she knew." Tears welled up in Mama Fang's eyes again.
For Madame, it is a blessing that the girl can grow up safely and have a decent dowry out of the cabinet.
When Mama Fang thought of Kou's mother who was lonely on the sickbed, she felt sad, clasped her hands together and murmured, "Madam, the girl is now grown up and has a future, you can rest assured......
Xin Yu turned his face away and quietly reddened his eyes.
In the evening of this day, Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou supported each other to go to the West Courtyard for dinner.
The West Courtyard is connected to the Printing Workshop, and most of the bookstore eats and sleeps in the West Courtyard.
"Shopkeeper, you look tired, and you're busy again?" Steward Zhao asked in wonder.
Although the popularity of "Painted Skin" is still there, it will not be printed, and Mr. Songling's new book has not yet come out, and the bookstore's business has been stable and stable during this time, which is not busy.
Shopkeeper Hu didn't even have the strength to wave his hand: "Don't ask, eat."
The big white steamed bun was brought up, and the shopkeeper Hu suddenly thought of the silver ingot, and the fast son fell on the table without holding it steady.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?"
Shopkeeper Hu glanced at Steward Zhao deeply, and suddenly asked, "Brother Zhao, have you ever seen when Yinzi was afraid?"
Steward Zhao was stunned for a moment, and reached out to touch the forehead of the shopkeeper.
It's over, Lao Hu seems to be stupid!
Under the candlelight in the east courtyard house, Xin Yu called Xiaolian closer.
"What do you command, girl?" Until this time, Xiaolian's eyes were still bright with excitement.
Xin Yu flipped through his hand and put the two small medals on the table.
"One of these two small medals belongs to Jinsheng Qianzhuang and the other is from Bao'an Qianzhuang, and a total of 400,000 taels of silver can be taken out."
Xiaolian was stunned, and she didn't know what Xin Yu was doing with her.
