"How much money did you take!? How about running to the city?" Yan Bing was dragged all the way out of Baolong Pavilion by Lingyue and rushed towards the market.
Hearing this, Lingyue slowly slowed down, released her little hand holding Yan Bing's sleeve, took out the banknotes in her arms and her second brother's money bag, and patted Yan Bing's hand,
He smiled and said: "It's just right. You can order some for me and put it on your place after ordering. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but spend it randomly if I put it in my hand."
"You can spend it if you want. At worst, I'll just give it to you when it's all gone..." Yan Bing took the banknotes and started counting them with a pouted mouth. As the banknotes were counted one by one, his face became more and more solemn.
Until the end, he opened his eyes wide and shouted.
"Six! Sixty-seven thousand, four hundred and ninety-two taels!!!!"
"Tsk! Keep your voice down! What a fuss, it scared me," Lingyue rolled her eyes at Yan Bing and murmured softly: "It's about as good as I expected, it should be enough..."
"That should be enough!?? Nearly 70,000 taels of silver! That's enough to buy half of the houses in Tongshun City!! You, what are you buying!??" Yan Bing was dumbfounded, but Lingyue didn't care.
.
"Buy some gifts for my grandpa. It's okay to meet other people. You can't go empty-handed to meet my grandpa, right? My grandpa's ninety-fifth birthday is just around the corner, so I'll buy a birthday gift as well."
Lingyue turned around with her little hands behind her back and continued walking towards the center of the city, leaving Yu Bing alone in a daze.
No wonder this guy spends money so cruelly...
This is all thanks to her uncles...
Yan Bing silently put the money into his arms and chased after Lingyue.
The two of them walked side by side in the busy city of Xuzhou City, and Lingyue also told Yan Bing some anecdotes about her grandfather.
"My grandpa seems to have no interest in money at all." As Lingyue spoke, she picked up a bead hairpin and looked at it, then put it back on the stall and continued walking forward. Li Bing took advantage of this moment to
After a while, he took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, bought the pearl hairpin, and twisted it again.
"He usually just meditates, cleanses, and meditates... If it weren't for us juniors, he wouldn't even know how to buy a new set of clothes if there were holes in them. And in terms of money, my third uncle and I are responsible for it.
Second brother and the others are taking care of it,
Every time when the New Year comes, my grandfather will advocate holding a charity meeting at home. They call it charity, but in fact it is no different from throwing money. So you see, there is not a single beggar in the huge city of Xuzhou, and the surrounding refugees encounter
Even when there is a famine, everyone rushes here, and often millions of taels of silver are spent..."
Yan Bing frowned and shook his head, muttering in a low voice: "No wonder things are so expensive here... A pearl hairpin costs me five taels of silver, which is enough to buy five in the capital..."
"It's not a good thing for your grandfather to continue giving like this. Not to mention that it will only breed a group of lazy people. Even the diligent and hard-working people will probably be stretched thin because of the price. The gain outweighs the loss..." Yan Bing
After much hesitation, he decided to talk to Lingyue about this matter.
"I don't understand that. I just want grandpa to be happy. When you meet my grandpa, tell him...here we are, here it is!" Lingyue smiled at Yan Bing and pulled her into a teahouse.
, and this tea house is obviously not an ordinary tea house. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as magnificent and magnificent. Even in the capital, I have never seen such a grand tea house, and Yan Bing was immediately dumbfounded.
Lingyue was obviously a regular visitor here. As soon as she entered the door, she was warmly greeted by the waiter and walked up to the second floor seating area.
"Fourth Miss, please sit with this young lady for a while. I'll go call the boss lady right now..." After the waiter finished speaking, he turned around and ran up to the third floor. After a while, a lady dressed in Chinese clothes and still charming was there.
The middle-aged woman led the waiter down.
"What kind of fragrant wind is blowing Miss Fourth here? Come on, sit down, sit down, we haven't seen each other for a year..." The middle-aged woman held up a cattail leaf fan and greeted her enthusiastically, and then turned to face the person behind her.
The waiter ordered: "Watch the tea."
The waiter gently bent down and bowed, and immediately ran to the tea table nearby and started working. Soon, the room was filled with the fragrant aroma of tea. Three cups of hot tea were placed on the table for the three of them in turn.
On their respective tea tables, the waiter nodded and stepped aside, standing still.
"It's true that Yue'er won't be able to visit Sister Tu for a long time. I have free time today so I'll come over and talk about it, and prepare some birthday gifts for grandpa in advance." Lingyue raised her tea bowl and took a sip with a smile, and Tu Mei Niang heard this,
But he frowned slightly.
"Yue'er... Do you also want to buy Wuyi Dahongpao... This year's spot has been bought by your second brother..."
"Ah??" Lingyue was slightly startled, then recalled it carefully, and murmured in a low voice: "No wonder I felt that the taste was so familiar when I was drinking tea just now... It turns out that it is like this..."
Lingyue sighed softly, then raised her head to look at Tu Meiniang, and asked with a flattering look: "Sister, can't you think of a way to find some more for Yue'er? My grandpa just likes this... to say goodbye.
, I'm afraid I won't be satisfied..."
When Tu Mei Niang heard this, she quickly smiled wryly and waved her hand.
"Is it possible that my sister is making fun of her? This Wuyishan Dahongpao can only produce a few taels at most a year, and more than half of it has to be paid as tribute to the emperor. In the end, only one tael is often left in the hands of tea merchants like us.
My sister still has to fight with so many people to buy a few dollars and take it back to Xuzhou. Where can I find her again..."
"Oh..." Lingyue nodded slowly. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly stood up and said, "Then Yue'er won't bother my sister anymore. I'll see you later!"
After saying that, regardless of Tu Meiniang's politeness and persuasion, she pulled Yan Bing and ran out of the tea house, and ran straight towards Baolong Pavilion...
Li Bing kept chasing after her, asking questions, and finally Lingyue replied angrily with three words.
“Go grab the tea!!”

Tea House 3rd floor
After seeing off Lingyue and Yan Bing, Tu Mei Niang slowly returned to her dormitory, fastened the door latch, walked to the bed, took out a hairpin from her bun, and inserted the hairpin into
Put it into the gap of a wooden board under the bed, and gently pry it!
A hollow grid suddenly appeared on the ground...
Tu Mei Niang calmly raised her right hand, took out a piece of leather paper from the storage compartment, unfolded it in her hand and looked at it carefully... After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly snapped her fingers again! A man in black immediately appeared
Appeared on her windowsill...
"Send the news back to the capital and say that the bait... has arrived..." After Tu Mei Niang finished speaking, she handed the paper in her hand to the man in black, but after the man in black took the paper, he remained silent.
, just nodded slightly, and disappeared in the next moment...
