Chapter 292

Pei Xin was startled suddenly: "50 taels?"

Pei Songzhi glared at him, and immediately said, "Shut up!"

Pei Xin hesitated and said in a low voice: "What is it, so much money? It can't be"

Pei Songzhi sneered and said: "Xin'er, if you want to make money and get it fast, you should think about the second uncle's proposal. If you want, you can come here tonight. But let's talk about the ugly things first, God knows about this matter." I know, you know, I know, if you agree, you are not allowed to tell anyone, and you are not allowed to see what I gave you. If you agree, I will guarantee you to eat and drink within three months. Never have less than this amount of money in your hand.”

Pei Songzhi stretched out two fingers towards Pei Xin.

Pei Xin trembled his lips, and asked cautiously, "200 taels?"

Pei Songzhi laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Ten times that number!"

He stood up and said, "I won't keep you anymore. Think about it yourself. Who wouldn't want to live a rich life? It depends on whether you have the ability to go there."

Pei Xin left Baoruizhai in a daze, his mind was extremely confused.

He was terrified of being poor. During those few months in the capital, he would fight with others until his neck was thick with jealousy for a few big money, and he would even be beaten with scars all over his body.

At that time, I never thought about going home.

But he was already addicted to smoking at that time. He once tried to leave the capital, but after walking for half a day, his legs came back uncontrollably.

He runs around all day just to earn a little money so that he can smoke a few mouthfuls of shredded tobacco that he can't stop.

He didn't expect that during the days when he returned to Yunzhou from the capital, although the pain of wanting to smoke almost drove him crazy, after he got over it, he didn't miss it so much.

Pei Xin lowered his head and thought as he walked, wondering what his second uncle Pei Songzhi asked him to bring this time. He said it mysteriously, and the profit was so high?
If he really wanted to make money like this, why didn't he do it himself?

Could it be that he made himself do something illegal?

Pei Xin was thinking of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and walked aimlessly. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and he stared blankly at a store in front of him, and he couldn't take his eyes away anymore.

It turned out that directly in front of him, there was a shop, which was "Fu Shou Ju" in the capital.

The smell of tobacco coming from the store was slightly pungent, but in Pei Xin's nose at this moment, it was like a person who had been hungry for three days and three nights and suddenly smelled the aroma of braised pork, making him salivate immediately.

Pei Xin reached out to touch the purse, and before going out, the Lu family stuffed five taels of silver in it, and he suddenly felt confident.

Pei Xin's eyes lit up, and he walked in.

The store clerk had never seen Pei Xin before, and he just came over to say hello, when he heard Pei Xin say familiarly: "First come a fairy fan." He walked towards the store on his own.

Pei Xin came in and glanced around. There were quite a lot of people. The decoration of the hall was similar to that of the capital. They were separated by small single partitions, and there was a small bamboo couch that could accommodate a person lying on the side.

Pei Xin nodded secretly. If he went further inside, he might be in a VIP room. If he wanted to smoke a cigarette in it, it would probably not be less than ten taels of silver. Although his money is not too embarrassing now, he dare not spend it recklessly.

As soon as Pei Xin lay down, the young man came over with a cigarette stick, carefully lit the cigarette for him, and delivered it to Pei Xin.

Pei Xin held the cigarette rod firmly, leaned close to the cigarette holder and took a deep breath, squinting his eyes comfortably.

Sure enough, even the gods don't want to do it.

It's rare that Yunzhou City also opened this Fushouju, so there is no need to worry about no place to smoke now.

Around the time of a meal, Pei Xin finished smoking a pipe and left Fushouju with a satisfied expression.

He pressed the purse, and there was only one tael of silver left in it, which was enough for today, but he understood this thing.If you don't smoke for one day, you will feel irritable and fidgety. If you don't smoke for two days, you may feel like throwing things and hitting people.If you don't smoke for three or four days, I'm afraid it's not a person who hits you, but yourself who sticks out his head and hits the wall.

Pei Xin frowned secretly, although the parents, sister-in-law and nephew in the family now have royal titles and salaries to enjoy, the family also has a lot of income because they also have a few shops.

But after all, the financial power is now in the hands of parents, and the elder sister-in-law is still in charge of the accounts every month, so I can't ask her for money every day!
He didn't even have a legitimate reason to ask for money, so how could he ask for the money?
Pei Xin lowered his head and frowned when he returned home, he didn't even eat dinner properly, he had countless thoughts in his mind, and finally he didn't have the nerve to ask his parents and sister-in-law for money.

After smoking, he was prone to sleepiness. Pei Xin ate a few mouthfuls of food and went back to his room to lie down. He fell asleep after a while.

When he woke up from a dream, he found that the appointment time with Pei Songzhi had already passed.

He couldn't help feeling annoyed secretly, but he really didn't think about whether he should help the second uncle with this matter, and he didn't feel too guilty. Instead, he simply closed his eyes and lay down again.

When I woke up, it was sunrise again.

Pei Xin dawdled up, only to find that Pei Songde and Lu Shi were not there, only Chen Miao was feeding Yao'er in the dining room.

Seeing Pei Xin coming out, Chen Miao greeted with a smile: "Xin'er, wake up, eat quickly."

The servant brought the breakfast, Pei Xin agreed, and ate with some tastelessness, but he was thinking about how to ask Chen Miao for the four taels of silver today.

Seeing that Chen Miao was about to leave after feeding Yao'er, Pei Xin became a little anxious, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law!"

Chen Miao asked with a smile: "What?"

Pei Xin gritted her teeth and said: "In a few days it will be Mother's birthday, I want to buy a gift for Mother, but I..."

Suddenly, Chen Miao asked with a smile: "Look at my memory, so Mother's birthday is coming up? I have been busy all these years and have not celebrated Mother's birthday properly. Fortunately, you reminded me, so I have to prepare well. "

Pei Xin nodded again and again, and hurriedly said: "Yes, now that the family is well-off and my mother has an order, so this year must be a good one. I also want to prepare a birthday gift for my mother, sister-in-law, can you Can't you give me some silver?"

Chen Miao said with a smile: "You are a member of the family. Your monthly payment is the same as that of Yue'er and Ling'er. There are ten taels of silver every month. You can go to the cashier to withdraw money on the first day of each month. But this month's mother It’s a birthday, how about this, you get another ten taels of silver, and prepare a better gift for mother.”

Hearing this, Pei Xin finally had 20 taels of silver in his hand, although it was far less than what he had imagined, but after all, it was enough for the time being, so he nodded his thanks to Chen Miao.

After eating quickly, Pei Xin went to the cashier to pay 20 taels of silver. Looking at the four ingots of silver, Pei Xin felt full in his heart.

But it didn't take long, but I was a little worried. Smoking would cost at least four taels of silver a day. Even if I saved some money, I would go once every two days. Mother buys birthday gifts.

How can this mere 20 taels of silver be enough?
