Chapter 207: Who is the Xie family's concubine!
The man arched his hand and smiled respectfully: "We are hunters from the nearby Queshan Forest Farm, and these woods are all grown by ourselves, and they were originally used for winter. ”
"But Miss should also know that the drought was so bad a few years ago that there were dead people everywhere, so we discussed it and decided to sell the forest farm we had contracted."
"Dig a few pits in the forest farm and store water well, originally these woods were sold for ten taels and one catties on weekdays, but no, it suddenly rained a few days ago, and we were soaked in wood."
"Wet wood can't be used for fire, so I want to try my luck and see if anyone can buy it back to make a wood carving, is Miss interested?"
A few people gathered around to join in the fun, and after listening, they laughed.
"You're not authentic, this wood is wet, why do you fool people to buy it?"
"That's right, little girl, don't be deceived by him, just now they dragged all the way over, and no one asked. After all, this wet wood can't be used this winter, and it's too expensive to pay two taels or one catty! ”
"If you buy it back, it's waste firewood, you can't burn it, and it still takes up space."
The man who sold the wood said angrily: "If you don't buy it, don't talk, the young lady hasn't made a decision yet." ”
Shen Ningning blinked his dark eyes, and his round little face pondered something.
Suddenly, she asked, "How much wood do you have?" ”
"We still have a thousand catties in the warehouse of our forest farm, miss, do you want it?" It's been a whole day, and I haven't made a single business.
Feeling that Shen Ningning seemed to have the intention of buying, the man couldn't help but smile in surprise, and rubbed his hands together again and again.
Shen Ningning nodded: "I can ask for it, but the price is too expensive, after all, wet wood can't be used, if you give me a cheap price, I'll consider it." ”
The man was overjoyed, and glanced at the person next to him, and the two of them combined for a moment.
turned to the little guy and said: "Miss, since you want to buy it so sincerely, we don't hold it, the thousand catties in the warehouse, a total of only 1,800 taels from you, okay?" ”
Shen Ningning thought for a while, and sighed: "Yes, but I don't have any silver on me now, you follow me to get the horn." ”
The passer-by next to him couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head and shook his hands and walked away.
"This little girl, she was deceived in a hurry."
Du Chun, who was standing behind Shen Ningning, couldn't help but whisper: "County Lord, it's really unnecessary for you to buy these. ”
Late spring also said: "Yes, the county lord, whatever you want, the prime minister has it, we burn charcoal in winter, not firewood." ”
Shen Ningning shook his head: "I can use these woods." ”
Even if she is not afraid of the cold, grandma is also afraid, it snowed early this year, it must be a very cold winter!
Shen Ningning thought about how uncomfortable it was for her and her grandmother to huddle in a leaky house last year when the winter was biting cold.
Just after the drought, charcoal resources are scarce, and even if you want to buy it, it must be very expensive.
The little one knew that she had no money now, and since the pharmacy had collapsed, she had to find a way to exchange it from elsewhere.
She can't patronize herself, and she has to take into account the grandmother and wolves behind her, who want to live comfortably.
With firewood, there is no panic in my heart.
What's more, she was reluctant to cut down the big trees in the fairyland, firstly, because she had no strength, and secondly, it was a pity.
Although the wood is wet now, when no one is around, she sends it to Wonderland.
Through the sun drying in the fairy territory, it can be used in winter sooner or later.
Wolves and wolves can also get together and spend a warm winter.
Shen Ningning took them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"You two are waiting outside." Twilight Chun had the momentum of a big girl, and said goodbye to the two men, and then accompanied Shen Ningning into the mansion.
Shen Ningning went straight to Xie Suzhi's study.
She wanted to find her godfather to borrow two thousand taels first.
As soon as I walked outside the study, I heard the voice of Xie Yuanjiu coming from inside-
"Uncle, I want to pay four hundred taels to invite a few good close friends to a banquet, but my mother said that she didn't dare to call the shots, so I asked you what you mean."
Shen Ningning paused, and was hesitating whether to wait for Xie Yuanjiu to finish speaking before going in.
Shen Ningning paused, and was hesitating whether to wait for Xie Yuanjiu to finish speaking before going in.
Unexpectedly, Xie Su's henchmen outside the door, as soon as they saw her, they smiled and greeted: "The county lord is here!" ”
After a while, Xie Suzhi opened the door and walked gently towards the little guy: "Ning Ning is here, my godfather still has a little official business on his hands, and he will take you out for a walk after he finishes handling it." ”
With that, he led Shen Ningning in.
Xie Yuanjiu stared at the little guy.
Shen Ningning originally showed a sweet smile at her, but she didn't expect that Xie Yuanjiu quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head expressionlessly.
The little guy licked his lips in embarrassment, and just as Xie Suzhi asked her, "Ning Ning, what is the matter with you coming to find your godfather?" ”
Shen Ningning blinked her big black eyes and said glutinously: "Godfather, can I borrow two thousand taels of silver from you?" ”
Xie Suzhi just picked up the pen, heard the words, smiled and directly took the token on his waist and handed it to Duchun.
"You take it, take the county lord to the account office, you can ask as much as you want, this prime minister allows."
Xie Yuanjiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Xie Suzhi in dismay.
Shen Ningning's eyes widened even more in shock, and she hurriedly asked, "Godfather, don't you ask me what I'm doing with the silver?" ”
Xie Suzhi's smile was gentle: "You are not a child who spends money indiscriminately, you can buy what you want, and your godfather said that he would compensate and take care of you, so why do you need to ask?" ”
"In the future, if you want to spend it, you can get it at any time, and you don't have to say hello to me anymore."
It's simply the ultimate pampering and trust.
Xie Yuanjiu secretly clenched his fist under his sleeve.
Shen Ningning showed a happy smile, and on her white and tender little face, the pear vortex was cute.
"Thank you, godfather, I'll pay it back!" When the time comes, she will find a few more pharmacies to sell some herbs.
Then, the little guy said goodbye and left with Twilight Spring.
Xie Yuanjiu spoke again: "Uncle......"
She shouted twice, but Xie Suzhi didn't respond, and when she looked up, she saw that Xie Suzhi was still looking at the door, and Shen Ningning smiled gently in the direction she left.
The look was like that of an emotional father, thinking that his daughter would finally spend his money, as if he was extremely relieved.
Xie Yuanjiu's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he shouted heavily: "Uncle! ”
Xie Suzhi came back to his senses, and his gaze was flat and deep for a moment.
"Yuan Jiu, I have considered what you just proposed, you just did something wrong in the palace, and there are some bad rumors."
"So recently, I suggest that you don't hold a high-profile banquet, if you really want to get together with friends, just pay a hundred taels of silver and find a restaurant."
After saying that, he lowered his head and handled his official duties seriously: "You go to the account office to get the silver." ”
Xie Yuanjiu's face turned pale, and anger suddenly rose in his heart, and even his breath became short.
She wanted to question out loud.
Why did Shen Ningning ask for two thousand taels, and give it to her without asking the reason.
And she only asked for four hundred taels, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Who is the concubine of the Xie family!
Xie Yuanjiu's heart was mixed with bitterness and resentment.
She was going to stare at Shen Ningning to see what she was spending her money on.
She didn't believe that a child could not spend these two thousand taels indiscriminately!
Thank you for your blessings and maintain the last decent rules: "I know the uncle, I will retire first." ”
She chased after her with a gloomy face, and just happened to walk to the door, and saw that Shen Ningning was already holding a silver ticket and talking to the two men outside the door.
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were cold, and he quietly approached to eavesdrop.
