Seeing the tray full of dragon coins, Zhu Yun's eyes almost flew out. For one hundred dragon coins, he had never seen so much money in his life. The secretion of his adrenal glands accelerated, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Liu Xiu was also a little stunned. He didn't come from a wealthy family, he was just an ordinary boy farming in the countryside. Suddenly seeing this much money, it would be unrealistic for him to take it calmly.
However, Liu Xiu is a person with a bottom line in doing things. It should be his own, he will not shirk it, and it is not his own, and he will not be too greedy.
He took a deep breath, looked away, looked at Ye Tian, and said: "Mr. Ye, I have made it very clear just now. It is the duty of us and other rebels to save Miss Ye, and we do not need to be paid. What's more, Mr. Ye's gang
We have properly resettled the abducted women, and I have made the younger generation very grateful."
Ye Tian looked at Liu Xiu and had to look at the young man in front of him with admiration.
If he had just paid lip service to Liu Xiu and refused, it would have been relatively easy to do so. But now that he has put so much money in front of him, he can take it away at any time as long as he nods his head. What else can he do?
Refusing to refuse is not something ordinary people can do. It requires extremely strong self-control.
Liu Xiu stood up and said: "Mr. Ye, I came here mainly to express my gratitude to Mr. Ye. I also hope that Mr. Ye will help others to the end and send those women home as soon as possible so that they can be reunited with their families."
While speaking, Liu Xiu no longer glanced at the dragon coin.
Seeing that Liu Xiu sincerely did not intend to accept the money, Ye Tian admired his character from the bottom of his heart.
You must know that most of the people in the rebel army are here for money, and people like Liu Xiu can be called a breath of fresh air in the rebel army.
He waved to the butler, who bowed and stepped back with the tray. Before going out, he took a special look at Liu Xiu.
Ye Tian said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, Ye will definitely arrange someone to escort them home safely."
"Thank you Mr. Ye."
"Master Liu, please sit down! Mr. Liu will not accept Ye's reward. Mr. Liu will not refuse to eat Ye's meal, right?" Ye Qian asked cheerfully.
Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Then I'll bother Mr. Ye!" As he spoke, he bowed and saluted.
Ye Tian laughed loudly, and after Liu Xiu sat down again, he asked in a brisk tone: "Where is Mr. Liu from?"
"People from Caiyang, Nanyang!"
Seeing Liu Xiu and Ye Tian chatting about their daily life, the two were talking and laughing. Zhu Yun, who was sitting aside, almost made two holes in Liu Xiu's body with his eyes.
Three hundred thousand dollars! That’s three hundred thousand dollars! You just push it out without blinking an eye, how big of a heart are you! Can you still sit here and talk and laugh, and still have the appetite to eat?
Now Zhu Yun really had the urge to open Liu Xiu's head and see if it contained human brain or paste.
In the pavilion in the backyard of Ye Mansion, there were a woman and two men sitting. The woman was Ye Qingqiu, and the two men were her two brothers. While they were talking, a young man came over in a hurry.
Seeing this, the two men asked in unison: "How are you doing, third child?"
With a sad face, the young man sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "Confiscated!"
Hearing this, the two men looked surprised, while Ye Qingqiu smiled and said with bright eyes: "How about it? I knew that Mr. Liu would never accept his father's reward!"
The older man clicked his finger on Ye Qingqiu's forehead, and said angrily and funnyly: "You have only known me for a few days, but it feels like you have known me for several years!"
Ye Qingqiu's face turned red at what he said. He stood up and said, "Young Master Liu is not a money-grubber, and his moral character is much better than that of many dandies who have read poetry and books!"
After saying this, she quickly ran back to her boudoir, leaving the three young men looking at each other in shock.
"The naughty little sister is talking about doesn't mean us, does it?"
"..."
The pavilion suddenly became quiet.
Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, and Zhu Yun stayed at Ye Mansion for a meal. This meal could be regarded as the most sumptuous meal Liu Xiu and Zhu Yun had ever had, including Long Yuan, of course.
Of course, the food in Guangqi Houfu is not worse than that in Yefu, but it is for the master. As a domestic slave, Long Yuan's food in Houfu is also very average.
It was not until it was getting dark that Liu Xiu and the other two stood up to say goodbye to Ye Tian.
When Ye Tian sent Liu Xiu out of the mansion, he did not forget to remind him that if he was not used to living in the rebel barracks outside the city, he could come to live in the city. As for the place to live, he didn't have to worry at all, Ye Mansion would help him arrange it.
However, Liu Xiu still declined Ye Tian's kindness. As a member of the rebel army, it was impossible for him to leave the military camp and live in a place arranged by the Ye family. Moreover, he did not think that he would stay in the county for too long.
.
After leaving Ye Tian and exiting the gate of Ye Mansion, Zhu Yun finally didn't have to endure it anymore and said, "Axiu, that's three hundred thousand dollars. How can you just say you don't want it and just don't want it?"
Liu Xiudao: "Brother Yun, this money is not what we should get in the first place!"
"What do you mean you shouldn't take it? You saved Ye Mansion's daughter, and Ye Mansion gave you 300,000 yuan as reward. This is what you should be doing!"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "The Master said that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way."
Zhu Yun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I think you are really stupid at reading. After three years of studying at Taixue, you don't even know how to make money. What's the use of reading so many books?!"
Liu Xiu smiled and said nothing. As soon as the carriage they were riding in took a few steps, a woman ran over and stopped the carriage. Liu Xiu opened the curtain and looked outside. The person blocking the carriage was actually the maid next to Ye Qingqiu.
, Maner.
Seeing Liu Xiu, Man'er bowed and said, "Mr. Liu, please stay. My lady is waiting for you over there." After speaking, Man'er pointed to the side door of Ye Mansion.
Outside the side door was a small alley, which was dark and difficult to see clearly from a distance. Liu Xiu explained a few words to Long Yuan and Zhu Yun, then jumped out of the carriage and followed Man'er into the alley.
Outside the side door of Ye Mansion, it was indeed Ye Qingqiu standing there. Compared with when she was in trouble, she had a completely new look now. She was wearing a light yellow dress. She looked smart, cute, and much brighter.
Liu Xiu walked up to Ye Qingqiu and asked curiously: "Miss Ye, what do you want from me?"
Ye Qingqiu did not speak immediately, but looked at Man'er, who wisely walked into the side door and closed the courtyard door gently.
Without Man'er present, Ye Qingqiu felt a lot more relaxed. She looked at Liu Xiu with some complaints and asked, "Why do you still call me Miss Ye?"
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then changed his words and said, "Miss Qingqiu."
Ye Qingqiu curled his lips helplessly and said, "Axiu, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my father!"
Liu Xiu looked at her puzzled and asked, "Why are you apologizing?"
"My father shouldn't ask you for reward."
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "Miss Qingqiu is too worried. Mr. Ye is willing to give 300,000 yuan as reward, which shows that Mr. Ye attaches great importance to Miss Qingqiu."
Ye Qingqiu was silent for a moment and asked: "Axiu, how long will you stay in the county?"
Liu Xiu shook his head. He didn't know exactly how many days he would have to stay. The key depends on the war situation in Yizhou.
He suddenly remembered something and said: "Miss Qingqiu can remind Mr. Ye that the family should store more food during this period."
Ye Qingqiu asked in confusion: "Why?"
Liu Xiu said seriously: "A large group of barbarians have been found near the county town. Once the barbarians attack the county town, the county town will be completely closed." If you want to buy food at that time, you will have no place to buy it if you have money.
Ye Qingqiu looked shocked, nodded to Liu Xiu, and said, "I will inform my father later!"
Liu Xiu smiled at her and said: "Miss Qingqiu, it's late, I have to go back, farewell!"
Ye Qingqiu still wanted to retain Liu Xiu, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak. He could only watch helplessly as he turned around and walked out of the alley.
When he returned to the carriage, Zhu Yun peeked into the alley a few times. Then he pulled Liu Xiu's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Axiu, has Miss Ye's family fallen in love with you?"
Liu Xiu looked confused. After a moment, he burst out laughing, shook his head and said, "How is that possible?!"
"Then what did she want to do with you just now?"
"It's nothing, just a few chats." Seeing that Zhu Yun was still asking questions, Liu Xiu closed his eyes, lay down in the car, and said, "Brother Yun, I'll take a nap first, and you'll call me when you get to the military camp."
When Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, and Zhu Yun returned to the military camp, Liu Yan had already been back for a long time. Seeing Liu Xiu and three people coming in from the outside, he casually asked: "Axiu, have you gone to Ye Mansion to see Mr. Ye?"
"seen."
"How was the chat?"
"not bad."
Zhu Yun answered: "Of course it's good. Ye Gong offered 300,000 yuan as a reward and wanted to give it to Axiu, but Axiu refused."
Three hundred thousand dollars?! Liu Yan was shocked when he heard this. He knew that the Ye family was rich, but he never expected to be so rich. It was three hundred thousand dollars! He looked at Liu Xiu with a smile and asked: "Axiu
Why not?"
Liu Xiu said: "We are rebels. When we see people in danger and being kidnapped by barbarians, we will not care who the people are. Even if it is not Ye Qingqiu at the time, we will still rescue people."
It's your duty to do it, so why do you have the nerve to take other people's money?
Although Liu Yan also felt that it was a pity that his younger brother refused the 300,000 yuan, but since it was A Xiu's own decision, he had nothing to say.
He said proudly: "If you don't want it, don't ask for it. It's no big deal! A man, a real man, should stand upright. Whatever you want, just rely on your own hands to get it and grab it. Why bother to accept charity from others?!"
Liu Xiu smiled when he heard this. This is the character of a big brother. He walked to the desk and saw a map on it. He asked: "Brother, where is this map?"
"Ganyushan!"
"Ganyushan?"
"The captain has decided that early tomorrow morning, he will personally command eight thousand county troops and go to Ganyou Mountain to wipe out the barbarians in the mountain. Our troops will also go with them."
Liu Xiu took a breath and said seriously: "Didn't Brother Gongsun say that there are probably far more than 500 barbarians hiding in Qianyou Mountain?"
