Chapter Two Hundred and Four: We Earned a Full Two Hundred and Thirty Thousand Taels of Silver!
Chixi always felt that Tian Cuihe's topic had turned bluntly, but she knew that it was Tian Cuihe's past, she respected Tian Cuihe, and she didn't ask questions or be curious.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat and chatted for a while, and Tian Cuihe stared at the sleeping An An for a while before leaving.
Since Xianggong left, Chixi has not slacked off for a long time, and she doesn't have so much time to miss her Xianggong sadly when she is busy.
But at night, I still think about it occasionally.
Thinking about it to the bones, every strand is like a prickly fluff piercing into the flesh, painful and itchy, unbearable, but unable to get rid of.
She closed her eyes fiercely.
Even if her father-in-law told her before he left that she could no longer send her messages from time to time like last time, he would definitely look for opportunities to correspond with her.
But...... It's been two months, and she hasn't received a letter from her father-in-law.
I don't know how her husband is now, whether she is hungry or injured, whether she is in danger!
But even if she thought about it again, she knew that it was just a fantasy and had no effect, but she couldn't restrain it.
She didn't sleep well at night, and when Chixi woke up the next day, she was a little tired, and she was just about to go to the tile kiln to keep accounts, when she heard a knock on the courtyard door.
She looked up and saw that it was Chu Bicheng.
Chi Xi raised his eyebrows, raised his feet and walked over, and said with a puzzled expression: "It's not the end of the month yet, have you rested?" ”
"It's not Hugh."
Chu Bicheng shook his head, took out the account book that had been sorted out from his arms, handed it to Chi Xi from the bamboo gate of the courtyard, and said with serious eyes: "I have to leave for Kyoto City, I will prepare in advance and prepare for the exam." ”
"Huh?"
Chi Xi remembered that Chu Bicheng had already passed the exam, and there were still a few months before the exam, so it was very necessary for Chu Bicheng to familiarize himself with and develop contacts in advance.
She nodded, and after a moment of silence, she blinked and said, "My father-in-law is also in Kyoto City, if you go to Kyoto City and see my father-in-law, can you send me a message?" ”
Chu Bicheng frowned, muttering in his heart, he didn't know why Chixi didn't just ask her father-in-law to pass on the news to her, but asked him to pass it on.
But as soon as he thought of the Xi family's care for his mother during this time, he thoughtfully guessed that Chixi might have something unspeakable, so he nodded and responded: "Okay, if you meet, I will send you a message, but Kyoto City is too big, and I may not be able to meet him." ”
Didn't the grapevine say that Xi Dazhuang went to Jiangnan? Why does Chixi say that Xi Dazhuang is in Kyoto City?
Although he was puzzled, he didn't have the heart to dig deeper.
Chi Xi smiled and said, "Okay, thank you." ”
She is not very sure if her father-in-law is still in Kyoto City, and now her father-in-law's whereabouts are secretive, running around, where will there be a definite location?
After Chu Bicheng left, Chi Xi took out the account book that Chu Bicheng had sorted out and took a look, and put it away after making sure that there was no problem.
On this day, the sun is shining, birds and insects are chirping, and the white clouds are slowly moving against the top of the mountain.
Chixi looked up and saw this beautiful scenery, and the first person she wanted to share most was her father-in-law, but her father-in-law was not there, and she always felt a little regretful.
As soon as she sighed, a low laugh suddenly sounded from behind her: "Why are you sighing when you see such a beautiful scenery?" ”
"Huh?"
For a moment, Chi Kei thought he was hallucinating.
She turned her head suddenly, and saw Xi Dazhuang, who she hadn't seen for a long time, standing behind her with a smile, and her gentle and smiling eyes seemed to carry thousands of stars, shining and indulging at a glance.
"Xianggong? You...... Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
Chi Xi blinked, blinked again, still couldn't believe it, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and looked at it again, the person in front of her sighed helplessly, stepped forward and hugged her tightly into her arms.
When the hot temperature came, her eyes widened in disbelief, and Xi Dazhuang whispered in her ear: "Daughter-in-law, are you stupid for your husband?" ”
"I just...... Unexpectedly, you will suddenly appear? ”
After Chi Xi reacted, he hugged Xi Dazhuang's waist suddenly, took a deep breath, and then complained with a smile: "You haven't reported to your family for two months, I'm worried about you, but I haven't looked for your way." You don't know that I also asked Chu Bicheng to send me a message if he met you in Kyoto City, even if I know that there is little hope, I still hope to get a word from you. You're good...... If you don't come back and don't send a message, it's plainly worrying. ”
Xi Dazhuang listened to the muttering in his ear, his heart was so soft, he apologized warmly, and coaxed in a low voice: "It's all bad for my husband, I'm too busy this time, so I didn't send you a message, but my husband finished the matter in advance, so I made time to come back to meet you and my mother." ”
As soon as Chi Xi heard that Xi Dazhuang had finished his work in advance in order to come back, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "How hard is that?" Didn't you eat well and rest well? ”
They are doing the work of licking blood at the tip of a knife, life and death are sometimes instantaneous, where can they take care of eating and resting?
It was not uncommon for him to be hungry for a few days or not sleep for a few days, but he didn't want his daughter-in-law to know about it.
Xi Dazhuang raised his eyebrows and smiled, nodded and said, "Naturally, my husband has a good meal and a good rest." You don't have to worry about this at all, now the saint is the cousin of the husband, we had a good relationship when we were young, and now that I am back to work with him, how can he treat me badly? ”
Xiao Suirong naturally would not treat him badly.
But what he has to do comes with danger, which cannot be avoided.
If there is anything particularly unsatisfactory about him, it is that he works with Shen Ruyu's guy again.
He has disliked Shen Ruyu very much since he was a child, and Shen Ruyu also dislikes him very much, so the two of them just hate each other, and they are very incompatible when they are under the same sky.
During this time, the man was more like a mad dog, biting him and not letting go, which was very difficult.
But he is not a vegetarian, so he naturally repaid Shen Ruyu fiercely.
"You're doing well."
Even though Chi Xi knew in her heart that she was reporting good news and not bad news, she felt that everything was good when she saw him appear in front of her safely and soundly.
She pulled Xi Dazhuang to sit down, like a child begging for praise from adults, and happily told Xi Dazhuang all the business she had made up during this time.
When she was almost done showing off, she proudly raised her chin and squinted her eyes to throw out suspense: "Guess, how much more silver has our family earned this year?" ”
Even if he is the richest outsider in the county, he will only have a maximum of twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver a year.
Xi Dazhuang raised his eyebrows, and roughly estimated: "150,000 taels?" ”
This was already the maximum amount he had estimated.
Chi Xi laughed when he heard this, and shook his head with shining eyes: "No, guess again?" ”
Xi Dazhuang was a little surprised, then gritted his teeth, and guessed: "180,000 taels!" ”
Chi Xi smiled even more: "It's still not right, guess again?" ”
Xi Dazhuang's eyes widened violently, and he said in surprise: "It won't be more than 180,000 taels, right?" ”
"Two hundred and thirty thousand taels!"
Chi Xi raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "We have earned a full 230,000 taels of silver!" ”
