Chapter 27
For a moment, these two plates were scrambled to bid by several wealthy families, and the market rose all the way, and they actually sold a high price of 230 taels of silver.
There were still many noble people who had not made the reservation and had regrets. They left a deposit for Miantang and prepared to send people to W State to pick up goods in the future.
The name of "Yu Shao Porcelain Floor" was also called "the ground in Qingzhou. Touching the hundred taels of silver bills, Miantang felt that the assassin was there. He burned a few more pillars of high incense, and he should also be divided.
Just with a large amount of silver notes in hand, how to return to W State safely has become a problem again.
Miantang wanted to go to the local escort agency to hire someone to escort, but Li's mother insisted that they would definitely be safe along the way and there was no need to spend the money in vain.
Miantang felt that Li’s mother didn’t know that the world was dangerous and that some money could not be saved.
Her grandfather's family runs an escort agency, so she naturally knows various ways for bandits to block the road and rob. Now she is so rich that if she is a bandit, she can't help but want to rob her!
So despite the dissuasion of Li's mother, Miantang used ten taels of silver to escort the escort agency and asked two powerful martial artists of Kong Wu to escort them across the river and take a car to turn around in W State.
When Cui Xingzhou was working on business, he ran to the Beizhen courtyard for lunch, as soon as he entered the door, he found that Miss Liu, who had been greeted at the door early this time, disappeared.
He asked Mother Li who was greeting him with his eyes. Mother Li pointed helplessly at the closed door and whispered: "From this morning, I went to the silver shop to exchange the silver notes, and I didn't even leave the house if I had eaten!"
Cui Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, strode towards the room, stretched out his hand, and the door was bolted. King Huaiyang felt that the little lady inside had done something ulterior motive. When he was about to kick it, Mrs. Liu inside asked, "Who is outside the door?"
Cui Xingzhou said briefly: "I..."
The next moment, the door latch opened, and a slender arm stretched out from the crack of the door and pulled Cui Xingzhou into the house.
I saw that Mrs. Liu was wearing a short trousers and shirt, her long hair was simply squipped with a few hairpins, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she even held a pair of short shovels in her hand.
Cui Jiu looked her up and down quietly, and then asked, "What are you doing?"
Miantang was so tired that his arms were sore, just because he was worried about how to succeed. When the official came back, he had met a savior.
After she carefully closed the door, she pulled him into the inner room, pointed to the position of the wooden bed and said, "I want to dig a deep hole here to hide money. Husband, you are back, please help me continue digging!"
Cui Xingzhou looked at the shallow pit that had been dug halfway, then looked at the neatly placed hill of silver ingots on the bed, and said lightly: "You should know that it will be profitable to keep the silver in the silver shop? If you buried it under the bed, you will not have any waste energy, but you will not have any profit."
Miantang walked to the bed, gently stroked the shining silver ingot, and then smiled and said, "I divided the money into three parts, one of which is stored in the silver shop to make profits, and the other is taken to the store to make capital, and some exquisite goods are purchased. This is a life-saving money that is to be taken care of, so naturally it must be buried to protect it. Although the world is peaceful, if there is a situation, when the war is in chaos, the boss of the silver shop will also flee. He can't exchange it for the pancakes with silver bills... Hum, hurry up! Dig it for me!"
It was also the turmoil in Qingzhou that made Miantang alert, and he felt that it would be better to keep a backup plan in everything, so he wanted to bury money, so he simply didn't even need to help the mother-in-law at home and started it himself.
Cui Xingzhou worked hard in the military camp for half a day and was not here to be a coolie. How could he dig a hole and make a mess because of the instructions of Mrs. Liu?
So he didn't respond, but took the book he brought with him, pulled the silver from the bed aside, and walked with his long legs, and read the book halfway.
Miantang didn't care when he saw that his husband didn't move. Only the rich man in the countryside could do such a thing as burying money. It would be a shame to let his husband do it.
Fortunately, she took a break for a while, and her injured wrist was strong, so she simply did not disturb her husband's hard work, but only waved the short shovel and continued to work.
Cui Xingzhou read the book for a while, and his eyes involuntarily moved to the woman waving the short shovel.
As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change. Although this woman has amnesia, her nature that loves money as life does not change.
When she was picking up the seriously injured from the water, the woman not only had a makeup box with a little jewelry in the package around her waist, but also a silver note wrapped in oil paper and wax on the soles of the shoe tied with hemp rope.
It seems to be in line with her cunning rabbit's method of hiding money.
Cui Xingzhou was not a bandit. After saving the man, he ordered people to put the woman's finances under the mattress beside her bed.
Thinking of the one thing she could move when she woke up was to search for something, King Huaiyang hooked the corner of his mouth bored.
The soil in this house was tamped with solid foundation and was very hard and solid. Liu Miantang was seriously injured at the beginning, and it was a bit difficult to hold the bowl on a daily basis, let alone doing such things.
After a while, her slender arms were shaking slightly, and she closed her lips tightly, digging in small shovels, and large beads of sweat rolled down from her smooth forehead, flowing happily all the way, drilling down her thin white neck into the loose collar and disappeared...
Cui Xingzhou unconsciously trembled his Adam's apple and then turned his gaze to the book.
The room was not quiet, and Miss Liu, who was doing hard work, was unable to keep up with her strength and was so tired that she was panting.
Perhaps because of the disturbance of Mrs. Liu's voice, Cui Jiu closed his eyes and endured it again and again. Suddenly, he stood up, took off his shirt, tucked the hem of the clothes, strode over, snatched the short shovel from Mrs. Liu's hand, waved his arm, and started digging it up.
The man's strength was originally greater than that of a woman, so Cui Xingzhou dug the deep pit in a few seconds, then stuffed the short shovel back into Mian Tang's hand, and then asked gently in a tone: "Is it enough?"
Miantang was still immersed in his husband's ability sweetness, and immediately nodded obediently and said, "It's enough, even if you bury more money in the future, it's enough!"
Unfortunately, before she finished speaking, Cui Jiu had already thrown the shovel and pushed the door out with great strides.
Liu Miantang shook her head helplessly. Her husband, Scholar, was too kind, so she naturally felt bored with these trivial matters. She would do it herself to hide money in the future.
At noon that day, Li's mother cooked sea bass, a fat duck with oil, and even the soup was filled with prawns.
Now that the sale of porcelain shops has opened, the dining table in the North Street courtyard has suddenly become more generous, and there will be no more dry radish in the house.
While eating, Miantang remembered the Qingzhou specialties he bought for the neighbors, and said to Cui Xingzhou: "Husband, after finishing the meal, don't forget to go with me to the neighbors' houses one by one. After all, we went out far away and brought some specialties to distribute them. It was also a sign of expressing our feelings and rewarded the neighbors for their care these days."
After digging holes and burying money, King Huaiyang's tolerance seemed to be vaguely improved. After hearing Miantang's powerless request, he looked at her and did not refute it.
So after lunch, while the neighbors were all going home for dinner, Li's mother carried a basket of assembling specialties, followed Cui Jiu's "couple and wife" and sent souvenirs from house to house.
North Street is bathed in the rising sun in early summer, and the courtyard walls of each household extend the colorful flowers, reflecting the shadows of the courtyard walls.
Miantang was wearing a newly cut thin skirt and wearing a fashionable horse-drawn hair. She stood beside a man in a Confucian shirt and greeted the neighbors with a gentle face. She really was a couple of couples and fairy couples on earth.
This summer love picture was reflected in Yun Niang's eyes in the carriage at the street entrance, but it was a little dazzling.
The little maid next to Yunniang, Huaping, screamed in a low voice: "Miss, she...is still alive!"
Yunniang's always gentle face was covered with Han Frost at this moment, and she also whispered: "Shut up!"
At this moment, the man beside Mian Tang suddenly looked up at them, with his deep eyes sharp, which made Yunniang startled and immediately asked the coachman to drive the carriage away from the alley quickly.
The lady scolded the screen and did not dare to open her mouth to speak rashly. After a while, Yunniang asked the servant who was pulling the cart and said, "Are you sure that the person selling porcelain in the street market that day was Liu Miantang?"
The servant Yanchi was Yunniang's confidant, so he nodded quickly and said, "I followed the young master all the way until I saw him stopping in front of the porcelain stall. Seeing the young master talking to her, my heart was about to jump out, and I thought I had met a ghost..."
Yunniang glanced at him and Huaping, and sneered: "If you really see Liu Miantang again in the future, be calm. Whether she is dead or alive, it has nothing to do with you and me. If you make a fuss, wouldn't you be guilty?"
Huaping quickly lowered his head and said yes, but he was worried and said, "But if the young master insisted on going to see her again... what would it be..."
Yunniang's long armor was tightly held in her palm and said coldly: "Didn't Yanchi say that she scolded the young master very badly that day? Maybe she wouldn't pay attention to him anymore. What's the point of seeing him if she didn't see him? Besides, she is now married. Although the merchant is a little lowly, she looks very good... A woman who has lost her martial arts skills can marry such a person, so she must live a stable life. Compared with her, the illegitimate daughter of General Shi is the person who has to worry about! If Liu Miantang is not provoking trouble, let her live a stable life for a few days..."
I suddenly realized the screen, and I just said that the lady was still in a proper position.
But Yunniang's face was still slightly dark, thinking about the smile on Miantang's face just now.
She seemed to have no depressed intentions at all, and she had been struggling to survive by looking for the vulgar businessmen. The resentment in Yunniang's eyes could not help but deepened slightly - my good sister, have you really let go of everything and willing to be a merchant's wife?
This ordinary carriage seemed to have taken the wrong road. After a moment of stopping at the intersection of North Street, it went away quietly as if it was coming.
After Cui Jiu was friendly with neighbors, he finally could go back to the courtyard and take a good rest.
Miantang made tea for his husband diligently, then sat at the end of the bed to lift him and pinch his legs, while carefully tentatively: "Husband, why not say that your clothes are temporarily placed in the chess hall. Although you need to change clothes there, you have to prepare some at home, otherwise I can't even wash and sew for you. How could I be like a lady like me..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes began to turn red again, as if he had suffered some endless grievances.
