Chapter 24: The hero was cheated out of one hundred taels of silver
Finally, I waited for the moment to lift the lid, it smells so good!
Everyone looked over and swallowed their saliva.
Jin Heng did not dare to delay and immediately sent it to his master.
A quarter of an hour later, he came to Zhu Mingqing again and opened his palm, which contained two taels of silver.
He acted condescendingly: "My master gave me this as a reward, so take it."
Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although she had never counted how much silver there was in the space, the accumulation of a royal palace over a hundred years was probably an astronomical figure.
Look at these two taels of silver, they are used to give to beggars.
Jin Heng thought she was very satisfied: "Keep it. My master said that this is all we can do when we meet old friends."
Zhu Mingqing was really speechless this time.
Are you so stingy?
She glanced at Liang Huanyu, who was not far away, and then said to Jin Heng, "This silver should be left for your young master to buy porridge later. If you really want to thank him, two taels of silver is not enough."
Song couldn't help but curl her lips. The young master of Liang Zhongling's family was too stingy.
Jin Heng didn't expect that they would be so picky. He went back and told the young master about it. Liang Huanyu sneered and walked towards him.
After standing in front of Zhu Mingqing, he did not speak and began to examine the prince's wife.
He looks too calm, and his clothes are neat and tidy. His every move exudes a leisurely and elegant air. How does he look like an exiled prisoner?
It seemed as if she was still the high and mighty Crown Prince's wife.
Oh!
What gave her the confidence?
Luo Huai?
Liang Huanyu was too lazy to bother with this dying person.
He said something but meant it: "Thank you for your hard work tonight, auntie. I wonder how much silver you need? Tell me, and Huanyu will do his best to satisfy you."
Zhu Mingqing smiled slyly: "That's what you said."
Liang Huanyu was almost dazzled. He shifted his gaze imperceptibly, his expression indifferent: "I'm not lying."
I only heard the other party's voice clearly say a number: "One hundred taels!"
Liang Huanyu's face froze, he couldn't believe his ears: "How much?"
Zhu Mingqing repeated it, then looked at him carefully. He seemed so generous in agreeing just now. Could it be that he wanted to go back on his word?
Jin Heng couldn't stand it any longer: "You are blackmailing me."
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyebrows and thought: That’s right, I am blackmailing you.
If it wasn't for the space upgrade, would you still want to eat the food she cooks?
Dream on.
Liang He was really happy to see Liang Huanyu being humiliated.
He gave him a meaningful look and said, "Mr. Liang, you can't be unable to take it out, right?"
You know what, it's really possible.
Liang Zhongling is in a high position and has great power, but he is very stingy and the Liang family members have almost no money.
His mother was falsely accused of stealing family property and was punished by her grandmother to kneel outside the ancestral hall on a rainy day.
If the college hadn't closed early and he hadn't called a doctor in time, he would have died...
Later, various things happened and he couldn't stand the infighting in the Liang Mansion anymore, so he simply left the Liang Mansion with the help of his teacher.
Seeing that Liang He also stood on the Luo family's side, it seemed that I had to pay the money today!
A cold glint flashed across Liang Huanyu's eyes, but he still maintained a smile on his face.
"How could that be?"
He turned to look at Jin Heng, and Jin Heng reluctantly took out a silver note and handed it to him.
Liang Huanyu watched the smile on her face grow increasingly dazzling, and could not help but say solemnly, "The road to exile is difficult, aunt, please take care of yourself."
Zhu Mingqing seemed not to hear what the other party said and directly handed the banknote to Chang Wu who was standing beside him.
"Here's your reward for tonight, keep it."
When Lao Xin heard this, he looked up suddenly and said, "Fuck, Xiao Wuzi is lucky!"
If he had known he had the money, he would have done it himself!
But Chang Wu was stunned.
He had never seen so much money before, and his voice was stammered with nervousness: "This... is too much."
Even if he didn't eat or drink for five years, he might not be able to save a hundred taels.
Zhu Mingqing said meaningfully: "I won't despise unexpected wealth, no matter how much it is."
Seeing that she really didn't care, Liang He signaled Chang Wu to accept it.
Chang Wu's face turned red with excitement. He rubbed his fingers and thought that as long as he did not violate the election principles, Mrs. Zhu's affairs would be his from now on.
Seeing that all the money was given to the official, Song became anxious and said, "I helped too. There's still money to be made."
Two taels of silver is indeed a small amount, but one hundred taels is not a small amount.
At least she has to get half!
Zhu Mingqing smiled and gently held Song's wrist, applying some force inadvertently.
"I thought my sister-in-law was just trying to do her part. We'll have to trouble Master Chang Wu a lot in the future, so don't worry about this little money, okay?"
Song couldn't help but take a breath: ...
How could she not care? Her entire net worth now only amounted to three hundred taels of silver.
But the pain in her hand reminded her, if she really took the silver, what if she was targeted later?
Song's face was pale and her expression was as bitter as if she had eaten coptis.
It’s so frustrating, so fucking frustrating!
Looking at this scene, Liang Huanyu's expression became more and more indifferent.
…
As the night deepened, the rain outside subsided slightly, everyone fell into a deep sleep, and the dilapidated temple gradually became quiet.
"Qingqing, we just need ten more people to agree, and then the space can be repaired." The little world spirit couldn't wait to tell her the good news.
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
The room in the space used to store food had been cleaned up by her in the past few days and was filled with this kind of food. She packed a few snacks at random, then took a tray of crystal clear buns and started eating.
While eating, I was thinking about what I would do when I got to Guancheng.
She has cooking skills, no shortage of money, and no shortage of food.
If it weren't for the royal family who were watching closely, this era could have been in chaos at any time.
She could have just laid flat.
We still need to repair the immortal palace.
How about opening a breakfast shop first?
"Qingqing, Lao Xin has gone out." The little world spirit suddenly flew over and said that there was movement outside.
Ever since Qingqing asked it to keep an eye on that person, it has been reporting almost all the time.
Even when Lao Xin went to the toilet, he had to tell Zhu Mingqing.
Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but share some common sense with it.
"What are you going out for?" Zhu Mingqing picked up the last bun and ate it slowly.
The little world spirit concentrated its mental power and could see farther.
"I'm talking to someone with their face covered, so I can't hear clearly."
Realizing something, Zhu Mingqing immediately left the space. The firewood in the middle of the dilapidated temple crackled, and no one noticed that she had just left and suddenly appeared again.
Just as she was about to get up to check, she heard footsteps and opened her eyes a little to look.
It turned out that Song had come back from getting up at night, and I don’t know if she saw Lao Xin leave.
The sound of the shackles also alarmed the people outside, and they hid in the dark.
When they saw someone enter the house, the two looked at each other and saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes.
Zhu Mingqing didn't dare to move. She waited for a long time after Song came back before she slowly stood up.
Fortunately, Captain Liang was kind-hearted and removed her shackles, otherwise it would have been very inconvenient.
In the woods far away from the ruined temple, it was pitch black.
She wanted to hear more clearly, so she took a step forward, but she stepped on a branch.
Crunch——
"who?!"
