Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 71 Little Bastard

A box filled with gold was placed in front of Dan Niang.

Dan Niang, who had already assumed the role of Yang Yuan's housekeeper, was immediately overjoyed.

Mrs. Li, who was standing aside, had a gloomy expression on her face.

Yang Yuan patted the money box and said to Dan Niang with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you to deposit it in the bank."

"Okay!" Dan Niang agreed happily.

"Sir, the silver box you gave me last time has been deposited in the bank.

"The total amount of silver weighed was 320 taels, 6 fen and 3 li, all of which was brown silver.
"So every two taels of silver can be exchanged for 99.8 cents.
"The bank took 120 yuan from us for dental expenses, so they deducted some of it..."

Dan Niang took out an exquisite little abacus from somewhere and started calculating for Yang Yuan.

The movement of the abacus beads sounded like a pleasant piece of music.

At this time, one catty is sixteen taels, and one tael is about forty grams.

When you go to a money shop to exchange silver, you also have to consider its purity, because the purity of silver on the market varies.

There is no interest on saving money these days, and you also have to pay management fees to the money house.

Therefore, when exchanging gold and silver for transactions or depositing them in a money shop for safekeeping, the money shop will charge a handling fee.

After all this, Dan Niang raised her head and smiled sweetly at Yang Yuan:
"Here, these are all, sir, please have a look. The Jiaozi is also here, sir, please have a look."

Yang Yuan took the official coins without even looking at them, and put them in his arms, saying with a smile: "No need to count them, I trust you."

Li Shishi's face was gloomy and she almost wanted to leave in anger.

What Ms. Li hated most in her life was corrupt officials.

When she was a young girl, she dared to hire a gangster with a large sum of money to assassinate the then Grand Commandant Liang Shicheng.

Now seeing that Yang Yuan is making a fortune every day, how many evil things must he have done to receive so much money?
Moreover, he was so unscrupulous that he was not afraid of being seen at all.

The little bit of goodwill that Li Shishi had previously developed because of his deep love for Dan Niang suddenly disappeared.

"Mr. Yang, please come out for a moment. I have something to say!"

Mrs. Li finally couldn't help it and walked out.

However, even in her rage, Mrs. Li's movements and gestures were still indescribably graceful.

Yang Yuan looked at Dan Niang in surprise. What was wrong with Madam Li? Why was she suddenly unhappy?
Dan Niang smiled sweetly at him and threw him a wink.

Oh~~, this woman is just as weird!

My own Luxi is the best. It is like a clear spring in a mountain stream and you can see to the bottom at a glance.

Yang Yuan followed him out, confused.

Madam Li walked to the pavilion and stood by the railing.

The breeze blew up her clothes, making her look like a fairy.

"Master Yang, I am going to resign from this female teacher and leave 'Shuiyunjian'."

Mrs. Li said coldly with a frosty face.

Yang Yuan was surprised and asked, "Why is Madam like this? But Dan Niang is ignorant and has made Madam unhappy?"

Madam Li sneered, "What has your doing, Mr. Yang, got to do with a woman like Danniang?"

Yang Yuan was even more confused: "Me? What did I do?"

Madam Li said disdainfully: "You are using your public power to amass personal wealth. How blatant!
"I don't have your courage, but I have the conscience that you no longer have!
"Therefore, I dare not be the teacher you have hired, and I dare not accept ill-gotten gains as a gift!"

Yang Yuan suddenly realized that he was careless and should not have shown the gold and silver in front of Madam Li.

However, he had already told a lie to Mrs. Li, so now he could only tell another lie to cover up the previous lie.

His mind raced, but Yang Yuan still smiled calmly and said, "Madam, do you know that I am from the Imperial City Department?"

Madam Li said coldly, "Why, do you still want to use your status as the Imperial City Officer to pressure me?"

Well, Erlang became the great official, the great official became your humble servant, and now your humble servant directly becomes you you you.

Yang Yuan touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Of course that's not what I meant.

"What I mean is, since Madam knows that I am from the Imperial City Division, then you should understand.

"Not only do I often need to move around in all kinds of people in different identities, I also often need to...show people and do things in different positions!"

Mrs. Li was very smart. She understood Yang Yuan's implicit expression after just a moment's thought.

"You mean... you are..."

"Haha, you can't say it, you can't say it. Madam, just understand it in your heart. There's no need to say it out loud."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "When fishing, sometimes you need to bait. But sometimes, not only can you not bait, but you have to eat the other party's bait first, and then he will feel at ease to bite your hook."

Madam Li said half-doubtfully, "Did the great master really not deceive me?"

Yang Yuan said, "Madam, think about it, if I didn't want to expose this money to the public, why would I take it out in front of you? A thief is guilty of his crime!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li finally believed it, and the frost on her face began to thaw quietly.

"I hope you really didn't deceive me, Erlang. Otherwise... I wouldn't mind going to the government office!"

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Every word Yang said is true, Madam, you can trust me."

Mrs. Li finally transformed from an iceberg beauty into a proud and graceful wealthy flower.

She gathered her clothes, bowed slightly to Yang Yuan, and said apologetically: "It is I who misunderstood Erlang. I hope Erlang will not be offended."

Yang Yuan returned the greeting and said, "Madam, there is no need to be so polite. Madam, you have a righteous heart and I admire you very much."

Madam Li smiled and said, "I am just timid and afraid of things. I dare not violate the law. Erlang, thank you for your praise."

Yang Yuan shook his head and said, "If Madam is really a coward, she wouldn't have scolded me in person."

Thinking of how stern she had been just now, Mrs. Li felt a little embarrassed.

She blushed a little and smiled shyly, "Okay, I already know that I misunderstood Erlang, so please stop blaming me."

This is probably what a natural beauty is.

Discharge will occur inadvertently.

Li Shishi's shy look at this moment had a girlish feel, but also a mature charm that girls did not possess.

The two blended into one, without any sense of disobedience.

Yang Yuan looked at it and couldn't help but say, "It's just a small misunderstanding. Even if it's really a big mistake, how many men in the world would be willing to blame the lady?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Li stopped smiling.

She didn't put on a stern face, she just looked at Yang Yuan, still gentle and tender, but there was clearly a hint of anger in her eyes.

She was born with a physique that attracted bees, and was too sensitive to such things.

Crossing the line often starts with ambiguity.

And ambiguity can be a look, a gesture, or a joke...

It never needs to be explicitly stated.

When you sense his intentional or unintentional probing, but you don't explicitly reject him, then...

It means you are encouraging him to go further!
Li Shishi was born with natural beauty. Before she reached the age of 15, she had already attracted countless men. She knew that being ambiguous was the consequence of indulging herself in the other party.

She was not sure whether this was just an unintentional compliment from Yang Yuan or a deliberate test.
But she had to nip the possibility in the bud.

So, she looked at Yang Yuan with a hint of resentment and condemnation, hoping that he would retreat without destroying their harmony.

She felt that she had done it!

Because she was trying hard to release the kind of blame and criticism that only belongs to elders, and there was also a hint of kindness and tolerance in her eyes.

Yang Yuan really felt a little overwhelmed.

Mrs. Li's eyes seemed angry yet charming, shrouded in mist, who could stand it?

Gradually, Yang Yuan became a little at a loss.

Moreover, in this situation... he didn't know how to resolve it.

so awkward!
So he had to talk nonsense for a while and then find an excuse to leave.

Looking at Yang Yuan's fleeing figure, Madam Li couldn't help but chuckle and cursed softly, "Little bastard!"
