Da Lang, who had no idea that he, his father, and his beloved sister had all forgotten him, lowered the tent flap and came in.
"...Ah." The old man was so embarrassed.
Da Li didn't notice the slight abnormality in the old man Qi, and quickly walked to the bedside, took out a handful of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Qi Baoer, "Sister, Qingzi's place doesn't have many big banknotes. I only have 20,000 taels."
All are in small amounts.”
There are only six of the five thousand taels, the others are one hundred, two hundred and twenty taels, and there are still twelve and twenty taels, which form a stack.
Old man Qi: "..."
Rolling his eyes, he really jumped over, and Qi Bao'er, who was in his arms, fell down with him. The little white fat feet were raised, and there were still two small bulges on the quilt.
It was so sudden that Dali turned pale with fright. He thought that his sister had already told him, and that he and his sister talked about everything.
Just as he was about to step forward to check, the tent door was pushed open with his foot, and Qi Kang'an walked in with a big bucket in his left hand and a big bucket in his right.
Qi Kangan's first glance at Daliang: Why is this child here?
Second glance: Oh, I remembered, the eldest son went with his daughter this time.
The third eye: What a pity, when he took the food, he forgot to take his eldest son’s share.
Daliang's reaction when he saw Qi Kang'an was: he stuffed all the banknotes into his arms as fast as he could in his life.
Old man Qi woke up slowly after Qi Bao'er transferred his spiritual energy. His unfocused eyes looked at his granddaughter, who was now lying on him and very close to him, and asked: "My dear, I seemed to have heard something about a twenty-thousand-tael silver note just now."
Qi Bao'er shook his head decisively, "No, sir, you misunderstood. You are talking about twenty thousand taels of silver notes. We don't even have two thousand taels now."
Da Lang, who looked guilty and nervous, glanced at his sister fiercely, and was convinced by her serious expression.
If the banknote wasn't still in his arms, he would have believed his sister's words.
But your master is your master, and Old Man Qi was not easy to fool at all. He was just stimulated for a moment, and the fainting made him feel better.
"My dear, your master is not stupid, and he doesn't have tinnitus. It's more than 20,000 taels, right?"
You really dare to say that and save the world, you just took money from General Wu to do business."
"No, wait." This time, Qi Kang'an was confused and quickly put down the board in his hand before his legs became weak.
With one hand on the table to support himself, he turned his head and asked: "Dad, what's twenty thousand taels? What's the business?"
Qi Kangfu's voice came from outside the tent: "Dad, we are coming in."
The four people in the tent immediately picked up the old man Qi and stopped lying down. He immediately picked up the shuttle and helped Qi Bao'er up. Qi Kangan's legs were no longer weak, so he picked up the two buckets on the ground and put them on the table.
Go up. Damn, look left, look right, sit down on the bed.
After a while, Qi Kangfu and Qi Kangfu came in each carrying a bucket of hot water.
Qi Kangfu said as he walked: "Qingzi is too honest. We heated the hot water ourselves, and he also asked someone to boil the hot water. If he hadn't seen us making dry food, he would have occupied more than a dozen stoves.
, they are also preparing to cook porridge."
What he said did not enter the minds of the three people at all, and they only agreed unconsciously.
Old man Qi said: "That man is the popular person next to the general. Can just anyone be the one?"
Qi Kangan said: "Yes, Qingzi is indeed a kind person."
Da Lang whispered: "It's just a bit girly."
When he took the banknote, he cried while holding it. It was like his dead parents. When the banknote was handed to him, he still held on tightly, causing his original excitement to disappear in an instant, and he was left with gritted teeth and followed him.
He was so eager to grab the banknotes that after he got the money, he ran all the way, even if he was afraid that he would catch up behind him.
Both Qi Kangfu and Qi Kangfu felt that something was strange, but there was still hot water to carry in the kitchen, so they didn't have time to think about it. After pouring the hot water into the tub inside, they left in a hurry.
"Huh." Seeing the tent curtain door being lowered again, the three grandfathers and grandson exhaled in unison.
Being interrupted like this, the frightening energy has passed. Apart from the pounding of the heart at the thought, at least the person is no longer fainting and the legs are no longer weak.
This time the three of them cooperated in a tacit understanding, without using any words or even making eye contact. Old man Qi picked up Qi Bao'er and came to sit down at the table. Qi Kang An filled a bowl of bone soup and handed the soup in one hand and the steamed buns in the other.
Come over, Daliang followed him to the table and sat down, then quickly stuffed a stack of banknotes into the seam of Qibaoer's clothes and stuffed it into his arms.
Both Old Man Qi and Qi Kang'an glanced at the banknotes, "Good guy, this is a thick stack."
Both of them were able to take charge, and they all just looked away as if they hadn't seen it.
Qi Kang'an filled the soup for the old man Qi and handed it over, "Dad, you can drink it too to warm yourself up."
After Old Man Qi took it, he handed over another bun, "My mother exchanged the stuffing for the meat from the cook. It is said that the soldiers shot some wild boars in the mountains a few days ago and froze them under the snow. My mother gave me thirty grains in exchange for them."
catty."
The old man Qi hummed and said, "You want to eat too, you have to travel tomorrow. I asked, it's still half a day's walk to the nearest town from here."
"Hey." Qi Kang'an didn't politely sit down to eat.
Qi Bao'er, who watched the whole process: "..."
She accepts it!
She put her little hands into her cotton coat and put away the banknotes. She said, "Master, Dad, we can buy horses and cars with confidence."
Old man Qi smiled when he heard this, and Qi Kang'an also looked happy. What could be more joyful than not having to worry about running out of money?
However, Qi Kang'an said: "There is no rush to buy horses or carts. Let's buy grain first. If we buy more, we will send it to the troops nearby first."
Old man Qi also agreed: "Yes, we can do this in advance. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about now. We can stay in the town for a few more days. If there is no place in the town to buy more grain, we will go to the county to buy it in the city."
, and ask someone to deliver it."
Qi Kang'an: "Dad, I noticed that many of the soldiers' cotton-padded clothes are not very thick. They also gave us so many new brocade clothes. Why don't we also buy some cotton-padded clothes and quilts?"
"Sure, you can take care of it. By the way, don't forget the medicine."
"Don't worry, I won't forget it."
Qi Baoer's eyes flashed slightly, and he continued to eat steamed buns and drink bone soup without saying a word.
After eating and taking a warm bath, Qi Baoer walked to the kitchen with her chubby short legs to find her mother.
Finally, there was no longer the constant threat of having sex. A group of women and young wives gathered together, and the kitchen became a lively place. You could hear voices and laughter coming from a distance.
Patrolling soldiers cast curious glances when passing by.
The military camp is full of men, but there are no women. If there is a female louse on the body, it is a priority protection target. Just a few curious glances, it is already clear that the military discipline here is strict.
When a group of soldiers passed by Qi Bao'er, they all smiled at her in a friendly manner, and Qi Bao'er also bowed slightly and nodded.
When they passed by, Qi Bao'er, who was about to lift his feet, suddenly changed his expression and turned his head sharply in the direction of the soldiers who had just passed.
At the very back of a group of soldiers who were lined up in a straight line and holding spears in their hands, there was a soldier who was walking in the same steps as the soldiers in front and swinging his arms with his right hand, but he was not holding anything in his hands.
This is not the point, the point is... he was floating without his feet touching the ground.
