Chapter 79: A mere twenty thousand taels of silver



"It's okay!" they said in unison.

Master Fu San: “…”

Song Qingci let go of his hand, patted Xunxun on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile, "It's a little dirty."

Xunxun: "Sister, you just asked me to help sweep the yard, right? I'll do it right away."

Song Qingci: You are hurting me again!

It was obvious that he didn't want to practice calligraphy, but he still said that I assigned him a job.

Master Fu San didn't know what the two were doing, so he said, "You guys go have fun. I'm going to change my clothes and go down the mountain."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, their expressions were surprisingly consistent.

Xunxun said again: "Dad, come down the mountain! Take me out to play, okay?"

The world below the mountain is full of temptations for the children on the mountain.

According to Xunxun, he has only gone down the mountain twice since he could remember.

Once it was the Lantern Festival, Master Fu San took him and Jin Yue to the foot of the mountain to watch the lanterns.

The bustle of that day has always been an unforgettable beautiful memory in Xunxun's mind.

He didn't mention the other time, maybe it was just an ordinary trip, nothing special.

Mr. Fu refused, "I have something important to do, not to have fun. You play with Sister Song, and be obedient."

After saying that, he strode straight in.

A moment later, he came out after changing his clothes, with a horse whip in his hand.

"Third Master, you still have to pay attention to your right hand when riding a horse." Song Qingci reminded him worriedly.

Mr. Fu Sanye agreed and hurried out.

Feng Xun muttered, "Why is Third Master so anxious?"

I've never seen him so anxious before.

"There must be something wrong." Song Qingci said with a smile. Seeing Xunxun's disappointment, he touched his head and said, "Come on, I'll take you to have some fun."

Xunxun said weakly, "There's nothing more fun than going down the mountain."

He was too familiar with Song Qingci's place, so there was no surprise at all.

"Speaking of going down the mountain," Song Qingci touched his chin, "Dongzi is also going down the mountain today. I asked him to bring back some things..."

"What is that?" Xunxun was a child after all, and when he heard there was a new toy, his eyes immediately lit up.

"you guess."

"you say."

"I don't know either."

Xunxun glared at Song Qingci when she heard this, "Sister must be lying to me."

"I'm lying to you, little dog." Song Qingci swore, "Come on, let's play first and wait for Dongzi to come back."

Gifts are always something to look forward to, and they make Xunxun happy.

Song Qingci had a hunch that Mr. Fu San had something important to do today and would probably be back very late.

It turns out that women's intuition is not always accurate.

Mr. Fu San came back before dark.

But Dongzi, whom Song Qingci was looking forward to, did not come back.

Could it be that someone was targeting him because he was carrying a large amount of money?

Why is Song Qingci a little panicked?

Mr. Fu San met her disappointed look, jumped off his horse, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Are you so unhappy to see him?

Weren't you still concerned about his hands before leaving?

Don't you want to see him now?

"No, I'm waiting for Dongzi." Song Qingci explained quickly, "He went down the mountain to buy something for me."

Mr. Fu San nodded.

So that's how it is. After all, you are still just a child.

"I know. I met Dongzi. He said he had something to do and would be away all night. He would be back tomorrow and told you not to worry."

Song Qingci: "..."

If Feng Xun, the "hostage", was not still there, she would have suspected that Dongzi could not withstand the test of money and ran away with the money!

"Why, are you looking for him urgently?"

"Oh, no. I just promised Xunxun to bring him something, and now it's tomorrow."

"Xunxun, come in with me." said Mr. Fu San.

Xunxun: "...Dad, my stomach hurts! Sister, please check for me quickly, is there a worm in my stomach? My stomach..."

He bent over, holding his stomach, and kept winking at Song Qingci.

He didn't notice that Mr. Fu San was also winking at Song Qingci, and there was even a hint of pride between his eyebrows, which was very inconsistent with his usual image.

Song Qingci understood it immediately.

What Mr. Fu San meant was that this kid would no longer bother you about gifts.

Wow, he’s indeed my biological dad.

Song Qingci suppressed his laughter and nodded.

Father and son: Got it.

Song Qingci brought Xunxun back to the room.

Xunxun felt relieved. She peeked out and made a gesture of cutting her neck. "Don't tell me I'm fine. At least this illness is so serious that I can't write."

Song Qingci: "..."

Dongzi didn't come back until the next afternoon.

Feng Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.

——She was also worried that he would be targeted if he carried the banknotes.

But I’m not familiar with this person yet and he refused to come back last night. It’s so infuriating.

Dongzi took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Song Qingci respectfully, "Miss Song, the bun shop said this is 20,000 taels."

"So little?" Song Qingci was surprised.

She is injured!

She was abandoned by all men!

Such a big thing can be exchanged for 20,000 taels from her mother?

This is unreasonable!

"Is this not enough?" Dongzi's eyes almost popped out.

Song Qingci: "Haha, no, not a small amount. I just heard it wrong and thought it was two thousand taels."

Dongzi thought silently that two thousand taels of silver was an astronomical figure.

Song Qingci took the banknotes, looked at the numbers of different sizes, took out a banknote for two hundred taels and handed it to Dongzi.

Dongzi quickly declined: "Miss, I'm just running an errand for you. Besides, Feng Xun is here. If I accept your money, what will happen?"

Feng Xun glared at him and said, "Just keep it if the girl tells you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Is this really acceptable?

Dongzi was just hesitating when he heard Fengxun say, "Take it and save it for marrying a wife later. In the mountains, two hundred taels is enough for you to marry a wife."

Dongzi's expression instantly darkened, and he shook his head and said, "I don't want it."

Thinking about separating from Feng Xun in the future, his current thought is not to get married.

I dare not even think about this matter, I want to cry when I think about it.

Dongzi lowered his head and said, "Miss, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying that, without waiting for Song Qingci to speak, he turned around and ran away.

Song Qingci: "...Feng Xun, look at you, your words are so harsh. Why do you say such things to hurt him?"

Being together or not is a personal choice.

But if you use words to provoke others, it will make them feel very uncomfortable.

The more Dongzi cares about Fengxun, the more uncomfortable he will feel.

My mother said, don’t hurt people who like you, especially when you don’t like them.

It’s not a sin to like you. I should be grateful instead of holding a grudge.

"I did it on purpose." Feng Xun said, "If I don't provoke him, will he be able to follow me in the future?"

Song Qingci's eyes suddenly widened.

Why, when did the goal change?

Feng Xun, you are so promising!
