Chapter 30 How Much Bags of Rice Are Worth

In ancient times, two meals were usually eaten a day, plus two or one snack and supper depending on the economic situation.

The rules of the Xi’s House are: get up at five o’clock to freshen up, and greet the elders; breakfast between seven and nine in the morning; study time from ten to three in the afternoon, reading, martial arts or female red; in the middle, according to the needs of each person. dessert. Dinner around five o’clock, and then free activities; go to bed at nine o’clock in the evening.

Due to the turbulent times and the turbulent situation, in addition to Xi Wen and Xi Wu’s martial arts classes are still continuing, other reading classes and female red classes have stopped early. So for the current Xi Yue, she only needs to report to her aunt Yu’s every morning and stay in a state of doing nothing for a day.

After eating some snacks at noon, Ling’er and Linglong took a few army soldiers, put on the jewelry box and brocade and went out to board the car at the remote corner gate. Xi Yue had nothing to do, so she looked for a geography book on the shelf to read it. Without reading two pages, there was movement in the yard. She looked out from the window pane. It was Dage Shiwen who had taken Guangsheng and another personal attendant. She quickly put down her book and went out to welcome:

“Why did Dage come here? Aren’t you busy today?”

She thought that when she first arrived home, Xiwen would have to spend at least a few days to pay attention to her, and there was a warm current in her heart.

Xi Wen smiled and said, “Dage wants to see you, is it all packed, what’s the difference?”

The eyes fell on her, and she was wearing a simple, single-body, moon-white muslin dress, not to mention the hairpin, and her hair was not pulled, and she was loosely draped behind her. The home is home, and it looks unique, but he is: “…”

Xi Yue touched the teapot on the table while it was still hot, picked up the cup, poured two cups of tea, and gave a cup to Xiwen with both hands.

Shiven picked up the tea, frowning more tightly: “…Second sister, why are you alone? Dage remembers there are two maids beside you?”

Xi Yue sat down opposite him and said with a smile: “Dage, I asked them to do things for me.”

“…There are still too few people around you.”

Xiwen turned his head and looked around the room, showing a slightly satisfied look: “The room is simple and clean, it is the boudoir of Miss, too simple.”

Xi Yue laughed out loud!

This Dage really took care of her face: it was obviously shabby, and it had to be described as simple.

Xiwen laughed too, but there was a touch of pity in his smile. Xi Yue didn’t want to be looked at with this kind of eyes all the time, she lowered her head slightly and said, “Dage, you came just right, I still have something to ask of you!”

Xi Wen took a sip of tea, closed the lid, and gently placed it on the table: “Yes, Dage still uses the word ‘beg’ so unfamiliar! Just talk about it!”

“Dage…”

Xi Yue hesitated for a moment: “I was helped by an old man before I fled and crashed into a car. His surname is Wang, and he should be the head of Wangjia Village. I was penniless, tired and hungry. He gave me dry food and water. Sack, and point the way, otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to run into Dage…”

Xi Wen realized: “It should be repaid! Third sister, how do you want to thank him?”

“I wanted to thank him for the pair of silver bracelets, but he didn’t look down on it…”

Xi Yue scratched her head: “I see his house and the entire Wangjia Village are very deprived of food and clothing. Why don’t you buy three bags of rice and Dage sent it to me?”

Xi Wen smiled slightly, and buckled the tea cup with his fingers: “My Xi’s Miss, Jin Gui is more than three bags of rice! Tomorrow, Dage will send you 20 bags of rice for you-Guangcheng!”

The entourage standing behind him stepped forward and bent over. Xiwen looked at him: “You are most familiar with the Jiazhou area in Kangzhou, the second Wangjiacun mentioned by Miss, do you know?”

Guangcheng cupped fist: “Return to the big man: There is only one Wangjia Village on the road from Kangzhou to Jiazhou, which belongs to Feng Town, Qin County.”

“Well, you know it.” Xi Wen nodded: “Tomorrow, you will set off, escort twenty bags of rice, and hand it to Wangjiacun Wang and old man in the name of the second Miss.”

“Yes!”

Guangcheng stood back to its original position. Xi Yue was a little panicked: “Dage! Here, these 20 bags of rice, I…I only let Ling’er and Linglong buy three bags back…”

Guangsheng, who was next to him, burst out laughing, and said quickly: “Second Miss, is it possible that this is something, are you still innocent with our eldest son?”

Xi Wen and Guangcheng both laughed, and Xi Yue laughed so embarrassedly: “Dage…”

Xi Wen raised his hand to signal Guangsheng and Guangcheng to shut up, sighed and looked at Xi Yue and said, “Sanmei, I only blame Dage for not paying enough attention to you and Sanmei, so that you are all alienated from Dage! Later… .. Stop having such a relationship with Dage, Dage feels uncomfortable.”

“…Thank you Dage…”

Xi Wen wanted to assist his father Xi Gui, and there was still a lot of military and government affairs waiting for him to handle, and he hurriedly said goodbye before he had been sitting for long. Xi Yue sat at the table alone, staring at the Can Cha opposite.

“Second Miss!”

Xi Yue looked up, and Ling’er and Linglong walked in, their faces full of joy. Xi Yue teased: “It looks like your trip went smoothly, and the price to sell is not bad, right?”

Ling’er smiled and said: “Second Miss is the smartest! You can guess it-Linglong Big sis?”

Linglong stepped forward, smilingly opened a wooden box in her hand and placed it in front of Xi Yue. Xi Yue glanced at it, and there was a thick stack of silver bills inside. He counted them thickly, quite unexpectedly: “Three thousand taels?”

“Two Miss, it’s three thousand five hundred and sixty one taels.”

Linglong took out another cloth bag from her body and spread it out. Inside it was a pile of loose silver: “I only exchanged the whole number for the silver ticket. It’s a pity that this is in Chicheng. If it were sold in Zhaoping, Jiazhou, the price would be higher. What a minute!”

Xi Yue was already satisfied with this windfall, and nodded: “Okay, put it away, Linglong.”

Linglong glanced at her, then looked at a box of cash notes, hesitated, and stepped back:

“Second Miss, you can keep the three thousand five hundred taels of silver notes in the box. Generally speaking, the master is the deed of land lease and the large amount of silver notes collected by himself. Minions will never touch this. Kind of stuff.”

“It’s okay.” Xi Yue smiled: “The previous one thousand taels, I have reserved two hundred taels for spare. So much money, it is inconvenient for me to carry it. You are careful and can keep it safe.”



Linglong bit her lip, bowed her head and knelt down:

“Second Miss, I trust, and Linglong is grateful! However, the second Miss has torn up the deeds between me and Linger Little Sister. So much money shouldn’t be kept by the two of us anymore! Second Miss, please, No matter how you take it back, you must not be so credulous in the future!”

Ling’er looked at them, hesitated, and slowly bowed behind Linglong.

Xi Yue hurriedly got up to pull up Linglong, and then held Ling’er: “Linglong!…Well, I will keep it myself.”

Draw three thousand taels of silver notes from the wooden box, leave a five hundred taels, and push it to Linglong along with the bag of loose silver: “You can always keep the remaining amount? You, Mr. Accountant, will pay it back in the future. I’m responsible for paying the monthly salary to buy things. I’ll pay it when it’s used up.”
