The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 97

"Count it up, how much money does she have?" Xia Jinchai turned to Butler Qi and pointed to Bai Jiujiu's bulging armband.

Butler Qi didn't understand the purses, but Bai Jiujiu obediently took out the purses one by one without hesitation.

When a pile of various purses was placed in front of Butler Qi, the old man couldn't help but let out a breath of air.

What exactly did this master and servant go out to do?Not to mention that this white girl was injured, she actually carried so much money from other people's family!
"Steward Qi." Xia Jinchai was waiting quietly, but Bai Jiujiu hurriedly reminded him softly.

Only then did Steward Qi come to his senses, and gave Bai Jiujiu a grateful look: "Oh, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Shaking his hands, he unwrapped the purses one by one, poured out large and small pieces of silver, and piled them together.Then, one by one lit.

"One tael, two taels, three taels... 76 taels and three dollars."

"Wow, 76 taels!" Bai Jiujiu embraced Steward Qi's arm excitedly, and asked while shaking vigorously, "How much is it in copper coins, huh? Steward Qi?"

"Very...a lot." Butler Qi looked at Bai Jiujiu in disbelief, no one would ask such a stupid question.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jinchai on the opposite side sniffled and said helplessly, "You should tell her quickly."

Butler Qi's complexion immediately darkened, and he felt a little unable to support his old face and returned: "This old servant is old, and his brain is not so good. Let's convert it, one tael is ten yuan, and this money is equal to one dollar. Baiwen."

"Ah, there are [-] characters!" Unexpectedly, Bai Jiujiu blurted out such a huge number immediately.Shocked by Xia Jinchai, he regretted shoving her into the cashier to settle accounts.

"Uh, well...it seems so." Seeing that Bai Jiujiu easily figured out his own problems, Butler Qi felt ashamed.He immediately looked at Bai Jiujiu with admiration.

"Wow, it seems that I did my calculations correctly, that's really a lot!" Bai Jiujiu excitedly hugged Butler Qi's arm and jumped up and down, almost shaking Butler Qi's old bones.

"Ahem..." Xia Jinchai coughed dryly, unable to bear it any longer.

It was only then that Bai Jiujiu discovered that besides the [-] cash, besides an old butler, there was also Xia Jinchai, who had a violent temper and would show off to him at every turn.

"Hey!" He was so happy and excited, Jiujiu finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and kept smiling foolishly on his face, unable to suppress it.

"Hey what!" Xia Jinchai said contemptuously, "Isn't it just 76 taels of silver? What are you proud of?"

Bai Jiujiu's mood was not affected at all: "76 taels, do you know how many buns you can buy with so much money? Tens of thousands!"

"Hehe." Xia Jinchai laughed, "With tens of thousands of steamed stuffed buns, you can wake up laughing from your dreams, right?"

"Hey!" Bai Jiujiu, who was the center of the conversation, smiled shyly.

"Did you forget? You were redeemed by this king from Chunyue Tower with a total of 2000 taels of silver!" Xia Jinchai said every word and every word very clearly.At the end, he stretched out his palms towards Bai Jiujiu.

Bai Jiujiu suddenly realized that something was wrong, brushed the broken silver on the ground towards her, and said in a panic, "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? What do you need money to eat and live with me? Quickly pay back the debt!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Bai Jiujiu was willing or not, how much she struggled and resisted, she stretched out her big hand and grabbed more than half of the broken silver.

Bai Jiujiu was so sad, looking at the few small white lumps that had leaked from between his fingers, she raised her head and couldn't help howling.

"Okay, girl. Don't cry." Qi Butler, who was left on the sidelines to watch the play, walked up to her with a sigh, and patted his hands to comfort her.

"Money... all my money is gone, and even the wages that were paid two days ago have been taken away by him. Woohoo..." The heartbroken Bai Jiujiu was crying.

Immediately, Butler Qi clapped half of his hand and it stayed in the air.It seems that my master is really too cruel to the girl.No matter how you say it, you have to keep some of your wages.

"Hey!" Qi Guan's parents sighed and made a decision, "I still have a little bit of silver here, if it's not too little, I'll help you save a little emergency if necessary."

After speaking, he took out two pieces of broken silver and put them in Bai Jiujiu's palm.

"Woooo... How much is this?" Bai Jiujiu asked choked up while crying.

"Two taels." Qi Butler replied with a sigh.He couldn't imagine that a person who loves money so much doesn't understand money at all!It's pretty fast!
"Two taels?" Bai Jiujiu spread out her palms, counting carefully in her heart, but in an instant, she broke into tears and laughed, "Then I have two taels now! It's four taels more than before I bought the buns!"

"Yeah. That's too much." Butler Qi nodded in agreement with a smug face, his heart was full of emotions.

Fortunately, the only thing that comforted him was that Bai Jiujiu didn't forget to thank him before leaving.How many years later he still remembers the look of breaking tears into laughter.

Bai Jiujiu wanted to ask for leave due to her arm injury.But no matter how she pretended to be pitiful, she couldn't win the slightest sympathy.

The reduction is just that you don't have to do any physical work, just follow along.Even... even Xia Jinchai had to follow her every step of the way, until he got out of the carriage and walked up, Bai Jiujiu was bored lying on the chair of the carriage to catch up on sleep.

How many maids are envious of such a beautiful job, but Bai Jiujiu feels more and more uncomfortable.

Because she always felt that it was not she who brought Xia Jinchai like this, nor was she lacking in her service, but that he kept looking at his purse, waiting for her to hide in the corner of the room to count. When the money is taken, it appears like a ghost and snatches it away.

No, just today at lunch, when the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter were taking care of him meticulously, for some reason, suddenly appeared in front of Bai Jiujiu, who was playing silly and playing with copper coins at the door.Thus, three pennies flowed from Bai Jiujiu's purse into Xia Jinchai's purse.

Bai Jiujiu was so angry, she gritted her teeth and decided that she would never bring money with her again!We must hide every silver and penny!

However, even though she had studied every inch of the hut where she lived, Bai Jiujiu was still worried about putting her two taels of precious silver away from her side.

Because, she was either afraid that the mouse would steal it, or she was afraid that her memory would be forgotten.Finally, after careful consideration, she secretly dug a hole under a big tree in the courtyard in the middle of the night when there was no one around, and buried the silver and her purse together.
