Chapter 195 I Only Have Two Taels
"I'll take you to the Lou family shop. Let's take a car! It's snowing!" An Lei suggested.
"But I want to take a walk! It's not far anyway." Mo Minglei shook her head.
After all, she is a young lady from a wealthy family. Her mother is very strict with her and rarely lets her go out unless Feng Aoqing asks her to do something.
"I'm going to Xingyue Pavilion anyway, so why don't you even take a maid with you?"
"This is our sister-in-law's place, who can do anything to me?"
An Lei thought about it and agreed, and the two of them walked side by side.
"There's going to be a war here, aren't you afraid?" he asked Mo Minglei, who was walking with an elegant posture.
"What are you afraid of? My eldest brother is here! The entire army they sent south will only number tens of thousands."
"Miss! We only have five thousand, less than that, and we have to add the Feng family's guards and..."
"Uh... so few! Then can't you fight one against a hundred? Just kill a few more." Mo Minglei was generous.
"I... I can fight a hundred people alone? What about the rest?" For a moment, An Lei didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
"Then, should I kill a few too?" Mo Minglei thought for a moment.
"Thank you very much."
"It's actually very easy. Let my sister-in-law throw the poison into the water source, and there's no need to fight anyone." Mo Minglei clapped her hands.
"That's fine." An Lei looked at the cute and smart Mo Minglei and felt very happy.
He took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it over: "Here, this is for you."
"What is it!" Mo Minglei took it and opened it to look, "Ah! This is it! Hahahaha!"
Mo Minglei laughed happily and patted An Lei's arm.
"Miss, please be quiet! Don't laugh so loudly, or people will think you found some silver on the ground!"
"How do you know I want this!" Mo Minglei looked at the pearl bracelet in the brocade box, which was very delicate and cute.
"When you saw Yuebao's bead necklace the other day, your saliva was about to drip. Everyone could see it. So I asked the shopkeeper to make me one that's bigger than Yuebao's and added some jadeite. Don't you like the emerald color?" An Lei looked disgusted.
"Ahahahaha! I love it! The two look so good together!"
But after laughing, Mo Minglei pursed her lips again: "But, this thing is very precious. My sister-in-law said that Yuebao's one is worth one hundred taels. This one is probably worth two hundred taels. I only have two taels of private money."
An Lei couldn't help laughing: "Miss, your two taels are indeed a bit shabby!"
"I've been saving for a long time, and you're still laughing at me." Mo Minglei's mouth became even more pouty.
The expenses of the third room were all taken care of by the family, so there was no need to spend money. She did have some monthly salary, but it was kept with her mother, so very little came to her, just for snacks.
When the silver came into her hands, she couldn't save it. She would buy anything rare or delicious she saw. It was really good if she could save two taels.
"Don't charge, I'm giving it to you. Have you forgotten that I also own a share of this city? I have plenty of money." An Lei was a little proud.
"You are my eldest sister-in-law's brother. My mother won't scold me if you send her off!"
"No! Don't worry, wear it. Just say my sister gave it to you."
"Yes, yes, yes. Uh, Brother Shitou, I have one more favor to ask of you!"
"Speak." Once I heard him calling me brother, there was nothing I couldn't do. That absolutely couldn't be the case.
"Take me to the gluttonous feast for dinner! Two taels is not enough for me." Mo Minglei laughed.
"What's the big deal? It's fine! Didn't your sister tell you that you can take anything you want from anywhere in the city, including food?" An Lei felt a little strange when he saw her pitiful look.
"My mother won't let me! She said I can't waste my sister-in-law's money!"
"Okay, after you finish looking at the cloth, I'll take you to eat." An Lei was very happy.
He took out his silver bag and handed it to Mo Minglei: "There are more than ten taels of silver and three small gold ingots in it. Take it. It will be enough for you to use for a while. If it's not enough, ask me for more. Don't tell your mother."
Mo Minglei quickly pushed it back and said with a smile, "Then I can't take it. I still have two taels! It's good enough that you treat me to a meal. When I save enough money, I'll treat you to a meal again!"
Miss, the two taels you have are not even enough to buy a pot of good wine for a feast, so you just have to save up slowly.
He took the silver bag back and said gently, "If you really like something, just put it on my account. You don't have to use my sister's. This way your mother won't know about it, and I will definitely not tell her."
"Okay! I understand." Mo Minglei nodded.
She looked sideways at An Lei, joy written all over her face.
Arriving at the door of the Lou family silk shop, Mo Minglei stopped An Lei and said, "Why don't you accompany me? I've thought about it and it's not good to go alone."
An Lei let out a breath.
The two of them walked in together.
Lou Yuyan was walking around in circles in the room, waiting for Mo Minglei.
As soon as I saw that figure, I saw An Lei behind him.
"Master Shi, what are you doing here?"
"You're here to see the cloth with my sister! What else could you do?" An Lei put his hands behind his back and looked at him provocatively.
"ah?!"
"What? Only my sister can see this thing, I can't, or are you up to something?" An Lei said sternly.
He is only timid in front of two people, and is extremely angry in front of everyone else.
After saying that, he took a step forward.
"No, I definitely wouldn't dare. This is the prince's sister, how could I dare to do that?"
"Then let's go and take a look."
"Hey! We're not ready today. Let's see tomorrow, let's see tomorrow!" Lou Yuyan hurried over to stop him.
"There's something fishy going on! Minglei, get out of the way!"
An Lei kicked open the door behind Lou Yuyan.
Mo Minglei clung to An Lei's back and looked inside curiously.
I saw a sea of pink inside. There were several boxes of cloth in the room, as well as a table full of food and wine. The tablecloths, curtains and all kinds of fabrics were changed to a tender pink color.
An Lei and Mo Minglei both said "eh" at the same time, with a look of disgust on their faces.
"Don't misunderstand me. I thought that the young lady would be hungry after reading the cloth, right? So I prepared some wine and food. That's all." Lou Yuyan hurriedly explained.
"I think you don't want to live anymore. There's a sign saying 'Closed' on the door of this shop. Once the door is closed, what about my sister's reputation?! I think you have ulterior motives!" An Lei was furious.
Fortunately, I came with you today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
He twisted Lou Yuyan's collar, threw him to the ground, and raised his fist to hit him.
"Brother! Hold back!" Mo Minglei shouted.
She had heard that An Lei could kill a person with two punches.
An Lei punched down.
"Give my sister face today and use 10% of your strength. If you do it again, I will kill you with one punch!" An Lei cursed.
"Let's go, Minglei." He stretched out his hand towards Mo Minglei.
"Oh." Ming Lei didn't know why, but she stretched out her hand and shook it.
After walking two steps, An Lei turned around and said, "Ming Lei hates this color the most. It makes her feel sick when she sees it."
Mo Minglei smiled with her lips pursed.
