Chapter 23 Showdown

In the official hall, Zhang Jingxiu stood with her back straight and her hands clasped behind her back, her pretty face turning reserved and cold.

She looked at Shen Lie, raised her fair neck slightly, and said softly: "Jingxiu originally intended to introduce Brother Shen to the mansion as a staff member, so that Brother Shen can also show his talents and no longer have to sleep in the open. It seems... It’s just wishful thinking for meditating.”

After all, she is the arrogant and arrogant daughter of the first assistant. When she speaks, she cannot hide her coldness and arrogance.

That's it.

Ms. Zhang showed her cards.

Shen Lie was speechless, and for a moment, he felt ashamed in his heart.

Then Zhang Jingxiu looked at Shen Lie again, and said softly: "In that case... Jingxiu doesn't force it. After Brother Shen takes these one hundred taels, Brother Shen and Jingxiu will be separated."

After saying that, the beauty said softly: "Zhang Kui, let's go."

After saying a few words, Miss Zhang moved lightly and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

Zhang Kui followed closely and responded quickly: "Hey."

As Zhang Kui walked away, he turned back and glared at Shen Lie fiercely. His expression seemed to say, you have missed such a good opportunity.

It is obvious that you can be appreciated by the lady, join the prime minister's office as a staff member, and change your destiny from now on, but you refuse to do anything and don't know what to do.

There is simply no mud to hold up the wall!

Shen Lie was speechless.

Soon, as the door of the official hall opened, Miss Zhang walked over quickly.

Immediately, Tian Baihu's fawning voice came from outside: "Hey, Zhang... Master, you've finished your meal. Let's go slowly."

"Come again!"

Watching the beauty leave in a hurry, Shen Lie stayed alone in the empty Jinyiwei Yamen, holding a hundred taels of silver notes in his hand.

The old man's face couldn't help but feel burning, and he couldn't help but pat his face lightly.

At this moment, Shen Lie felt bitter in his heart and felt a little ashamed. He never expected that this Miss Zhang would be such a cold-hearted woman.

"stupid!"

Shen Lie secretly cursed himself for being clumsy and watched the beauty walk away in anger.

But he couldn't say a word, so he stood like a dumb bird, with an expression like a native chicken who had never seen anything around him.

It's so embarrassing...

After standing blankly for a long time, Shen Lie sighed again: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be."

He has had several girlfriends, and they talked and laughed happily, but why when he met this Miss Zhang, his mind went blank, his mouth became clumsy, and he couldn't say anything he thought about.

But Shen Lie felt aggrieved. He couldn't be blamed for being a coward. With her pretty face, temperament, and figure, it was too bad.

"That's all."

With some regret in his heart, Shen Lie had no choice but to stand alone in the warm Jinyiwei Yamen and sighed quietly.

Although Shen Lie was ashamed in his heart, he was relieved. The matter was over. It was too late to say anything now, so let's go.

At this moment, Shen Lie was in a very complicated mood. He quickly walked out of the official hall, raised his head and looked at the big sun in the sky.

The setting sun in winter is shining brightly, but it is cold and has no temperature.

Shen Lie sighed and left, leaving Tian Baihu in the Jinyi Guards House and several generals watching eagerly. A group of Jinyi Guards still looked at a loss.

A group of Jin Yiwei watched helplessly and muttered together for a long time.

A commander-in-chief asked suspiciously: "Sir, what is the origin of this young man?"

Tian Hong looked at Shen Lie's back, pondered, considered, and finally said cautiously for a long time: "My ancestors once served a thousand households... I can't get ahead."

After thinking about it, Tian Hong whispered to several of his confidants: "Don't worry about this person's background, remember... you must not offend this person!"

A group of general flags, small flags, and captains in the guard station nodded in agreement: "Your Excellency is wise!"

"That's what my lord said."

Anyway, no matter where this person comes from, as long as he can eat at the same table as Miss Zhang of the Prime Minister's Office, he can also bother Miss Zhang to pour wine for him personally...

Could this be an ordinary person?

I can’t afford to offend!

In the evening, Aunt Li's house.

Shen Lie was in front and Yun'er was behind. They walked into the wing carrying various groceries, closed the door, and lit the charcoal basin...

When he turned around, Shen Lie realized that Yun'er was still pouting her little mouth, sulking angrily, and her little mouth was pouting so high.

After knowing the truth, Yun'er was furious and muttered in a low voice: "This Miss Zhang... what kind of humanity is there? How dare you go to the Jin Yiwei to find someone to blame?"

What happened today frightened the little maid. Even now, her little girl is still jumping.

Shen Lie smiled bitterly for a moment and said softly: "I won't mention it anymore."

As he spoke, Shen Lie opened a pack of oil paper in his hand. Wrapped in the oil paper was a whole roast chicken, which was just a little cold.

Shen Lie poured the roasted chicken into a bowl, then placed it on the charcoal basin to heat it, then smiled at Yun'er and said, "Here, eat some."

Yun'er straightened her clothes and walked over and responded softly: "Yes."

The master and servant sat opposite each other next to the charcoal pot.

Roast on fire.

Shen Lie thought for a while, then took out the one hundred tael silver note from his arms, unfolded it carefully, and then looked at the signature on it.

It is indeed one hundred taels from the Jin gang ticket number.

Guaranteed replacement if fake.

In an instant, Yun'er covered her mouth in surprise, opened her eyes wide, and let out a soft cry: "Ah?"

Banknote!

Looking at this one hundred tael silver note, Yun'er was shocked. Even though she was from an official background, a one hundred tael silver note...

She has never seen it before!

a long time.

Yun'er said happily: "Master, where did this bank note come from?"

Shen Lie smiled slightly: "What do you think?"

Yun'er's big eyes blinked, her delicate body trembled, and she said in surprise: "She gave it to you?"

Shen Lie nodded again and responded softly: "Yes."

Yun'er immediately smiled brightly, hurriedly snatched the envelope of silver, and then counted them one by one, her little face turned into a flower with a smile.

It seemed that the jealousy in her heart had disappeared. While counting the money, she prayed nonchalantly to the sister.

"Good man!"

Shen Lie was dumbfounded and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was really a little money-lover.

This is too realistic.

As Yun'er nervously held the banknote in her arms, her little face was already beaming with joy, and she said happily: "Master, Master, that Miss Zhang... I can tell at a glance that she is a wealthy lady." Lady!"

Shen Lie burst out laughing, thinking that's not what you just said...

The master and the servant looked at each other and laughed, and then they gathered together and whispered, how to spend the one hundred taels of silver.

Shen Lie calculated his property again, and together with the few pieces of silver he earned from setting up stalls these days, he now had a considerable amount of start-up capital.

The purchasing power is approximately equivalent to 100,000 yuan in later generations!

Quite a few.

At this moment, Shen Lie let out a faint sigh. It is true that a man is not rich without windfall, a horse is not fat without night grass, and the ancients do not deceive me.

At this time, Yun'er became even more excited, and said with a cheerful smile: "How about the young master write a few more couplets and sell them to Miss Zhang."

Shen Lie couldn't laugh or cry again. Why did he still rely on others?

Besides, do you think this kind of ancient famous pair is a piece of Chinese cabbage? With just the little ink in my belly, young master, it’s really good that I can come up with one.

With more than one hundred taels of silver in his hand, Shen Lie's eyes turned dim and he said softly: "Tomorrow morning, let's... go and redeem the ancestral home."

Yun'er nodded vigorously and responded: "Yes!"
