Chapter 105: Generosity
Yuxi took off the dragon's blood stone and put it in a bag to store it carefully, she was afraid that she would accidentally lose it, so she found a secret place, which was the innermost part of a drawer on the dresser, and then locked the drawer and put the key in her pocket.
Then it suddenly occurred to her that she would have to pay the casino owner five hundred taels of silver tomorrow.
These five hundred taels of silver are equivalent to her buying this dragon's blood stone from Pang Hu, after all, after this necklace is in her hands, she doesn't need Pang Hu to repay her the silver.
Although she promised to pay the big man five hundred taels of silver and release Pang Hu at that time, this amount was not a small amount.
So did Yuxi have this money? Yuxi didn't think about it at the time. She just couldn't see it, and if she wanted to save Pang Hu, she didn't think too much about whether she had the money.
But the money must be paid to the casino owner on time, otherwise what the consequences will be, you can imagine. Although the Murong family is quite prestigious in the local area, and those people dare not act rashly, if they come to the door to make trouble, once it spreads, General Murong will inevitably be a little angry.
If the blame is traced back to Yuxi, she is also worried that she will be scolded by her father.
"But don't make any trouble, I'll raise this money later, and I can give it to those people tomorrow." If things get big and my father blames me, I'll be in trouble. ”
Yuxi secretly wondered, she was worried that her father would find out again and again about this matter, and when it came to her head, Yuxi really didn't know how to explain it to her father. And at that time, she promised such a large sum of money.
But this incident also started because of Pang Hu, didn't her father persuade her to marry Pang Hu before? But things have actually developed to this point, even if his father knows the truth, then what he will think, and what he will think of Pang Hu, Yuxi does not know.
Yuxi considered: "Does my father have to marry a man with such a bad character?" Although Pang Hu's family is rich and wealthy, Pang Hu is such a man who is addicted to gambling, if my father wants me to marry him, is it too much to consider."
Anyway, I don't want to marry him, and if my father really wants me to marry him in the future, I'll tell you about it. I don't say it now, it's because I take care of the face of the Pang family, and if I say it, Pang Hu's face will be embarrassed, and I will be very faceless in front of my father, and I have given so many expensive gifts before, I really want to marry, which is too much to say. ”
As for why Yuxi wanted to save Pang Hu, in fact, Yuxi vaguely felt that this was an opportunity.
If Pang Hu was really rescued by her, then Pang Hu would feel embarrassed in front of Yuxi. In that case, Pang Hu may retreat.
On the other hand, Yuxi wants to see what kind of man Pang Hu is, if he is really a man who is addicted to gambling, then she can have sufficient reasons to push off this marriage in front of her father.
Moreover, Yuxi found that Pang Hu was wearing a dragon's blood stone, she refused to miss this opportunity, and if she saved Pang Hu, she might get the dragon's blood stone, which can be said to be an opportunity not to be lost and never come again.
Yuxi thought for a while: "I have fortunately saved up a little savings over the years, and now I can take it out and see how much money I have." ”
Then Yuxi opened a drawer under the dresser and took out a delicate wooden box. This wooden box is a box of rosewood, carved with some vine patterns, the workmanship is delicate and delicate, and a small brass lock is inlaid on the box. Yuxi took out the delicate key and opened the wooden box.
She opened the lid and looked into the box, where she saw a lot of silver in bits and pieces. Underneath the silver, there were several large silver tickets.
These are all accumulated by Yuxi for more than ten years. In addition to the pocket money sent by my father, there is also the money that my father gives out during the New Year's holidays.
In this way, Yuxi usually lives frugally, and is not willing to spend this money, so she has accumulated a lot of silver taels.
Yuxi took out the money and put it on the table to count it carefully, oh! It seems that there are already a lot, about a total of three hundred taels of silver!
But I have to pay back 2,500 taels of silver tomorrow! Yuxi sighed, it seems that this money is not enough, but what should I do now?
Yuxi put down the scattered silver in her hand, sighed, and looked at the mirror on the table in a daze.
"What about the rest of the money? I can't ask my father for it, can I? Won't my father know about it? What will he think? But I have no excuse to go to the butler to get the money, it's not easy. ”
Yuxi hesitated, she didn't know where to find the other two hundred taels of silver, although it was already almost three hundred taels, but it was still a big difference.
Yuxi lowered her eyes and sighed slightly, she regretted a little that she shouldn't have agreed to help Pang Hu repay the debt, she simply let Pang Hu suffer at that time, anyway, she didn't want to marry Pang Hu. What does Pang Hu have to do with being beaten?
Yuxi snorted and smiled bitterly: "I'm really too nosy, I have to pay such a big sum of money now, and it's not enough now, I'm really asking for myself!" She regretted it a little, she really shouldn't have been rash and saved Pang Hu at that time.
Yuxi slammed the lid of the wooden box shut, her eyes looking away. But Yu Xi thought about it: "Didn't I take this opportunity to get the Dragon's Blood Stone? Then what is there to regret! If I don't save Pang Hu, I won't have the chance to get the Dragon's Blood Stone, isn't that right? I did the right thing!"
Yu Xi exhaled softly, opened the lid of the wooden box again, and put the silver taels and silver tickets in a small cloth bag.
"That's all, but there's still so much to do?"
Yuxi muttered to herself, and in the blink of an eye, her gaze shifted to her jewelry box.
"By the way, don't I have some gold and silver jewelry? It may be enough to put these jewelry together! Even if it is not enough, I guess those people will not dare to say more, unless they are not afraid of their father's anger, no matter how much, just use these gold and silver jewelry to settle the number! Whether he has enough or not, that's all!"
Yuxi opened the jewelry box and carefully selected some gold and silver jewelry, including gold phoenix hairpins, pearl beads, and some gold and silver bracelets and other things, and the others were jasper bracelets and jade pendants.
Yuxi didn't bother to think about it, she wrapped these things and stuffed them into the cloth bag, then tied the rope on the mouth of the bag and put it next to the pillow.
She was going to wait for the casino guy to come tomorrow and hand them over to the other party to end the trouble.
In this way, she also repaid Pang Hu for giving her the dragon's blood stone, although it was Pang Hu who owed her a favor, but Yuxi thought that one thing was repaid, and Pang Hu gave her the dragon's blood stone, which was equivalent to a favor for him.
Now that she has helped Pang Hu pay off the money, she can breathe a sigh of relief.
