"No need to be polite, no need to be polite, county lord, please get up quickly." Xing Guogong hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and was about to speak, but the old prince immediately interrupted him.

said, "Let's go, go into the house and take a good rest, you must be tired after a few days of running." ”

Xing Guogong still couldn't take out the silver ticket in his sleeve, he glanced at the old prince with some impatience, and the old prince dragged Qingqing in as if he hadn't received the information from his eyes.

"Grandfather, you don't know how fun it is, next time we must go together! The seafood was delicious. ”

"You're just a little gluttonous cat, you don't forget to eat it wherever you go, right?"

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want, even if you go back to the capital, I will let you eat, as long as you can say it, even if it is a star in the sky, I think I can pick it for you."

"Grandfather is the best for me," Xia Qingqing didn't see his grandfather for many days, and he missed him very much when he saw him.

She said, "Grandfather, look, what did I bring back for you?" ”

"This is a box brought by a foreign merchant, and a palm-sized ornament, this is a large conch, look at how delicate the polishing is, it must look good in the study."

"And this vase, this is glass, although it is not so perfect, but it is good to put it in a novelty," she pointed to the items sent by the little maid and introduced them to the old prince in the same way.

The old prince dragged her hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about these things first, you do a good job, Xing Guogong has something to tell you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Qingqing didn't react a little, and looked at Xing Guogong in a daze.

At this time, Xing Guogong was satisfied, coughed clearly, and said, "County Lord, thank you for being broad-minded, providing a place for these poor students to study, and taking care of their three meals a day. ”

"Such great kindness, we and others have nothing to repay, and we hereby prepare 100,000 taels of silver to make up for the expenses of Bai Yutang in recent days."

Xia Qingqing's eyes widened and asked in disbelief, "How is this easy to say?" One hundred thousand taels. ”

The old prince sat aside, sipping tea, and did not participate in the conversation between the two.

Xing Guogong counted the accounts for her one by one, "County Lord, you see that you have more than a hundred scholars, as little as more than thirty, plus a lot of silver for daily food and accommodation, plus the gifts you gave out at that time. ”

"And the hard work of the teachers who invited them is immeasurable, and the 100,000 taels of silver are no longer available, and I hope the county lord will accept it with a smile."

Xia Qingqing hesitated, not knowing whether to take it or not, in all fairness, she naturally didn't want to lose money.

Bai Yutang's recent expenses, even if she doesn't calculate carefully, she knows that 100,000 taels is only a lot more, but if she really receives this money, she will still be truthful, after all, her original intention of doing this thing is not to make money.

When she was in a dilemma, she turned her head to look at the old prince next to her.

She asked, "What does grandfather think about this?" ”

Qin Guogong was afraid that she would not accept it, so he immediately interrupted her and said, "County Lord, this Baiyutang was opened by you, not by him, what do you care what he thinks?" ”

"Let you take it, or this sentence, this 100,000 taels of silver is just a little gratitude to you, and we want to repay you in other ways, but the timing is not right at the moment."

"I can't make too many obvious moves, if one day you can need us and these poor students, they will definitely be willing to go to the trouble for you, the county lord."

"If there are really people with wolf hearts and dog lungs, we don't have to pay attention to them, after all, there must be more good people."

Xing Guogong's earth-shattering splashing scared Xia Qingqing a little, and she didn't expect so much, she just hoped that once these poor students had the opportunity to enter the WTO in the future, after becoming officials, if her family really had a bad situation.

also expects these students to be able to say a few good words for her family on the original kindness of a meal or the friendship of a half-teacher, at least not to fall into the ground.

The old prince sat on the side, seemingly ignoring it, but actually tightened his sleeves. Xing Guogong is not wrong in what he said, but the expenses of this Bai Yutang are indeed real money.

Xia Qingqing looked at the two old men and took the 100,000 taels and said, "Please rest assured, before the imperial examination, these students can live in Baiyutang with peace of mind and listen to lectures every day, that's it." ”

"I accepted this 100,000 taels, which is nothing more than to reassure your old man's heart. In the future, there are better things waiting for you! ”

She was overjoyed on her face, and she didn't take the 100,000 taels in her eyes at all, and her words also aroused the curiosity of the two bosses, Xing Guogong couldn't help but ask, "County Lord, I still have some preparations before leaving Beijing, I don't know if I can explain this matter today." ”

Xia Qingqing pinched the 100,000 taels of silver tickets hard, and said, "I definitely can't help me with the famous teacher's lecture here, but this reserve force is busy enough, and I have already come up with some ideas to make money, which can definitely alleviate our urgent needs, and I can get a lot of silver." ”

"Oh, the county lord might as well elaborate."

Xia Qingqing immediately said the hot pot and seafood on the carriage, took out some earrings and handbags in the gifts, and explained them in detail to the two.

She finished speaking quickly, and immediately drank two large bowls of tea, and the two elders were already dumbfounded at this time, unable to say that it was not good, and could not find out the problem, "County Lord!" ”

Xing Guogong exclaimed, "The county lord is really a smart and handsome person, these methods are to kill me, I can't say it, and I can't think of it." ”

Xia Qingqing heard that this criminal prince was so praised, and he was also ridiculous.

The old prince was full of pride on his face, "That's my granddaughter, she has been the smartest since she was a child, how can you compare with an old horseman!" ”

The criminal state public is not happy, and just about to fight back, Xia Qingqing immediately snapped and said, "It's getting late, it's better for the criminal country to stay in the house and taste the things I said together." ”

"I also brought some seafood on the way back, and I deliberately packed it with seawater, which was also fresh at this time, and made it into a raw pickled and simple seafood hot pot, let's taste it first."

"In addition, the five-piece crab dismantling set I prepared, Brother Lin Qing has already created it, and you can also put some on it for Lord Xing Guogong when you leave for a while, and when you return to the house, you can use it as a gadget and reward it to the children at home."

Xing Guogong was amused by Xia Qingqing's hobby, and said, "Thank you for the county lord's love, then I will be disrespectful." ”

"Qingqing, you must be tired all the way back, hurry back and rest, change your clothes, and wait for the evening while we enjoy the moon, while tasting your seafood hot pot."

"Yes, grandfather."

"Lord Xing Guogong, I'll go back first, see you in the evening!"

"Okay."

After Xia Qingqing walked out of the study with Xiao Lu, she sighed and said, "What's going on?" I mean well, but this has become the meaning of coercion with kindness, and I don't know what Xing Guogong's appearance means, and my grandfather is really, knowing that I am not easy to do, he does not sit next to me and does not say a word. ”

Xiao Lu watched the whole process, and at this time he was like a brainless fly, and he didn't know what to do?

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw Lin Qian, Lin Cai, Xiaolan, Xiaoqing, and several people anxiously walking back and forth in the courtyard.

"Little ones, big kings, I'm back again."

"County Lord."

"County Lord, you're back."

"County Lord, you're finally back."

Lin Cai stepped forward and said, "A few of us received the news that you were coming back today, and we have been waiting in the courtyard, and you and the old prince have finally finished speaking." ”

"This is the account book of Bai Yutang for the past few days, please take a look at it from the county lord," Xia Qingqing waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Hey, these are not important. ”

"Little Green, you quickly give them a share of the gifts I brought back, I'm going to change my clothes and take a break."

"It's the county lord."

In fact, these people were full of anticipation, and there were still a lot of questions they wanted to ask, but when they saw the tiredness of the county lord, they couldn't bear to pester her anymore, so they surrounded Xiao Lu.

"Little Green, tell me quickly, is this trip fun?"

"Is that seafood good?"

"County Lord, what are you taking you for?"

"You're the only one who went with you, we can't think of being jealous, what are you going to do?"

"Does the county lord have any good ideas?"

"Found a good reason to open a good market, or did you invent something?"

A few people asked Xiao Lu one after another, without giving her a chance to answer, Xiao Lu looked at this, looked at that, and shouted loudly speechlessly, "Stop, stop me, you guys ask together, who should I reply to first?" ”

"Me"

"I, of course"

"It's me, go back to me first,"

"Mine."

Several people began to scramble again, and Xiao Lu couldn't bear it anymore, "Stop!" Stop me! If you keep shouting like this, I'll stop saying nothing and let you guess for yourselves. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately closed their mouths, shook their heads lightly, and motioned for the few of them not to speak again. ”

"In this way, I will first divide the gifts that the county lord brought to you, one person will get up and get a copy, this is the pearl on the pearl bracelet, they are all picked up by the county lord on the seaside, and the bracelet is worn by everyone."

"And then, there is Dongzhu, these shells over there, they are very cheap, this is an ornament, and that one is salted fish."

"The county lord said, this salted fish is very salty, you can add one or two to the porridge, cook a big pot of salty porridge, it is delicious, and the county lord brought back a lot of ideas, this is what I recorded according to what the county lord told me and what I saw."

"Take it and see it! The county lord of Bai Yutang also mentioned a lot of new ideas, including telling me about hot pot on the way back. ”
