Chapter 357: Tu Mei Niang

"How much did you get? And what about running into the city?" Yan Bing was dragged by Ling Yue and ran out of Baolong Pavilion and rushed towards the direction of the market.

Hearing this, Ling Yue slowly slowed down, let go of her little hand holding Yan Bing's sleeve, took out the silver notes in her arms and her second brother's wallet, slapped them on Yan Bing's hand, and said with a smile: "It's just right, please help me, and put them on yours after you order them. I'm afraid that I can't help but spend them in my hand."

"If you want to spend money, just spend it. At worst, I will give it to you after spending it..." Yan Bing took the silver bill and pouted and counted it. As the paper bills were clicked, his face became more and more serious, until he finally opened his eyes and shouted out.

"Six! Sixty-seven,492 taels!!!"

"Tsk! A little bit of a fuss! I was frightened," Ling Yue gave Yan Bing a blank look and muttered softly: "It should be enough if I expected..."

"It should be enough! Nearly 70,000 taels of silver! It's enough to buy half of the private house in Tongshun City!! You, what are you going to buy??" Yan Bing was dumbfounded, but Ling Yue didn't care.

"Buy some meeting gifts for my grandfather. It's okay to see others. It's hard to go empty-handed when I see my grandfather, right? It's close to my grandfather's 95th birthday, so I'll buy the birthday gifts together." Ling Yue turned around with her little hand on her back and continued to walk towards the center of the city, leaving a message Bing alone in a daze.

No wonder this guy is so cruel when spending money...

This is all thanks to her uncles...

Yan Bing silently put the money into his arms and chased Lingyue.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder in the downtown of Xuzhou City, and Lingyue also told Yan Bing some anecdotes about her grandfather.

"My grandfather seems to have no interest in silver coins at all," Ling Yue picked up a pearl hairpin and looked at it, put it back on the stall, and continued to walk forward. Yan Bing took advantage of this time to take out a few pieces of silver from her arms to buy the pearl hairpin and twist it up again.

"He usually just meditates, practices, and meditates... If it weren't for us juniors, he wouldn't even know how to buy a new set of clothes when his clothes were ripped, and money matters were all taken care of by my third uncle and my second brother.

Every time the New Year is over, my grandfather would advocate a donation conference at home, saying it was donation, but it was actually no different from sacrificing money. So you see, there was not a single beggar in the huge Xuzhou city, and the refugees around him knew to rush here when they encountered famine. Often, millions of taels of silver were spent in one go..."

Yan Bing frowned and shook her head, muttering in a low voice: "No wonder the prices here are so expensive... I would like to buy five taels of silver for a pearl hairpin, 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 it, it will only raise a group of lazy people. Even the people who work diligently will end up being short of money because of this price, and it won't be worth the loss..." Yan Bing hesitated for a while and decided to tell Ling Yue about this matter.

"I don't understand those. I just need grandpa to be happy. When I see my grandpa, you tell him... I'm here, that's it!" Ling Yue smiled at Yan Bing and pulled her into a teahouse. This teahouse was obviously not an ordinary teahouse. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a magnificent and magnificent. Even in the capital, I have never seen such a grand teahouse. I was stunned by Yan Bing.

Ling Yue is obviously a regular visitor here. As soon as she entered the door, she was warmly greeted by the waiter to the elegant seat on the second floor.

"Miss Four, please sit for a while with this lady. The younger one will call the boss lady..." After the waiter said that, he turned around and ran to the third floor. After a while, a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes and still charmed led the waiter down.

"What is this fragrant wind blowing the fourth lady? Come on, sit, sit down, we have to have not seen each other for a year..." The middle-aged woman held up a palm-leaf fan and went forward to greet her with enthusiasm. Then she turned her head and ordered the waiter behind her, "Look at the tea."

The waiter bent down and bowed gently, and immediately ran to the tea table beside him and started working. Soon, the room was filled with the fragrant fragrance of tea. Three cups of hot tea were placed on the tea tables of the three of them in turn. The waiter nodded and stepped aside, standing and stood.

"Yue'er may have visited Sister Tu in the future. Today, I will come over to have a chat and prepare some birthday gifts for my grandfather in advance." Ling Yue raised the tea bowl with a smile and took a sip. However, Tu Meiniang frowned slightly when she heard this.

"Yue'er... You shouldn't have to buy Wuyi Dahongpao... This year's spot stock has been bought by your second brother..."

"Ah??" Ling Yue was slightly shocked, then recalled carefully, and murmured in a low voice: "No wonder I felt that the taste was so familiar when I drank tea... So that's it..."

Ling Yue sighed softly, then looked up at Tu Meiniang, and tentatively said with a flattering look: "Sister, can't you think of a way to find some for Yue'er? My grandfather is just like this... I'm afraid I'm not satisfied with the farewell..."

Upon hearing this, Tu Meiniang quickly waved her hand with a wry smile.

"My sister is joking with her sister. The big red sack in Wuyi Mountain can produce at most a year, and she has to pay tribute to the emperor for half. In the end, less than one or two can be found in the hands of us tea merchants. My sister has to steal the head with so many people to barely buy a few dollars to bring it back to Xuzhou. How can I find my sister again..."

"Oh..." Ling Yue nodded slowly, after pondering for a while, she suddenly stood up and bowed and said, "That Yue'er won't bother her sister anymore. I'll see you again when I look back!"

After saying that, regardless of Tu Meiniang's politeness and retention, he pulled Yan Bing out of the Tea House and ran straight towards Baolong Pavilion again...

Yan Bing kept chasing her and asking questions, and finally Ling Yue replied to her three words in anger.

"Go and grab the tea!!"

Tea House Third Floor

Tu Meiniang, who had sent Ling Yue and Yan Bing away, slowly returned to her dormitory, tightened the door bolt, walked to the bed, took off a hairpin from her hair bun, and inserted it into a gap in a wooden board under the bed, and gently pried it!

A hollow small grid suddenly appeared on the ground...

Tu Meiniang raised her right hand calmly, took out a piece of leather paper from the storage compartment, spread it in her hand and looked carefully... After looking straight for a long time, she suddenly snapped her fingers again! A man in black immediately appeared on her windowsill...

"Thank the news back to the capital, just say, the bait... has arrived..." After Tu Meiniang finished speaking, she handed the velvet paper on her hand to the man in black. After taking the velvet paper, the man in black still didn't say a word, just nodded slightly, and disappeared from the spot in the next moment...
