Chapter 10 Is this enough?
The fat yamen runner hugged the purse tightly in his arms like a calf, stiffened his neck and shouted at Lin Xiyan:
"I am very poor, and this is all I have left. Don't try to get anything else."
Lin Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the fat yamen runner as if she were staring at prey.
Wow, this fat yamen runner is really tough for once.
"Alright, if you don't want to give it to me, just come with me to the cloth shop and take a look." Lin Xiyan raised her eyebrows slightly, walked with graceful steps, and walked straight into the door of the cloth shop.
After entering the store, she walked to the ready-made clothing area, randomly picked out a few underwear and thick cotton jackets, and asked the clerk to pack them up quickly.
It happened that the store had quilts for sale, so I picked out a few more quilts and included them in the package.
"Auntie, you don't really want to buy these quilts as well, how can I explain this to you?" The fat yamen runner wailed with a bitter face.
"Stop talking and pay quickly! Buddy, pack everything up carefully and put it on the horse at the door." Lin Xiyan's tone left no room for doubt.
"Okay, the total is ten taels of silver." The clerk bent over and responded with a smile on his face.
The fat yamen runner frowned deeply and reluctantly took out a confiscated silver hairpin as collateral.
She secretly regretted it in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she would have given her the purse and saved herself the trouble of paying for a silver hairpin.
"Thank you very much for your generous help, sir. Thanks to your generosity, this winter will surely be warm and cozy."
Lin Xiyan walked out of the cloth shop, turned around and smiled sweetly at the fat yamen runner.
The fat yamen runner looked helpless: "Then my medicine..."
"I'll make the medicine for you right now."
Lin Xiyan brought the young man and the yamen runner to an inn, ordered the fat yamen runner to book a private room, and then went in with the young man to make medicine.
The fat yamen runner was about to follow in. Lin Xiyan slammed the door shut, and the fat yamen runner was turned away. He could only hear her whisper from inside the door:
"This is an exclusive secret recipe and must not be passed on to anyone else."
"Oh! Auntie, I really can't do anything with you." The fat yamen runner sighed.
Then he shouted towards the door, "You better hurry up, we have to be back in a quarter of an hour!"
After saying this, he turned and walked to the front hall of the inn, called the waiter to bring a pot of wine, and drank to drown his sorrows. "Today is really unlucky!"
At this moment, inside the box.
Lin Xiyan stood in front of the window, wanting to climb out, but unexpectedly, when she was halfway through, she got stuck.
It turned out that she had overestimated this body.
Her pretty face flushed red, and she helplessly called for help from the young man: "Idiot, come and help me."
"Miss, what are you doing..." The young man saw Lin Xiyan's petite figure standing in front of the window, looking very humorous.
He gently lifted Lin Xiyan up and carried her to the window, and Lin Xiyan jumped down.
"Don't call me Miss. My name is Lin Xiyan, you can just call me Xier."
The young man was slightly startled, then jumped down and followed closely behind.
"Xi...Xi'er."
"My name is Jiang Moyu."
"Brother Mo Yu, can you ride a horse?"
"I know a little bit." The young man was full of doubts, not knowing what she intended to do.
Lin Xiyan just asked casually, but she didn't expect that the young man was actually proficient in riding skills.
In ancient times, the art of riding and archery was mostly practiced by aristocratic men, and ordinary people rarely had this opportunity.
"That's great! Come with me to the horse market to buy a horse."
Lin Xiyan smiled and thought to herself: That will make things easier.
Jiang Moyu looked at the girl with a sly smile, and couldn't guess what surprising move she would make next. Buy a horse! Does she know how much a horse costs?
I saw the little girl leading the boy and walking into the horse village.
Her eyes suddenly fell on a red-maned horse in the stable, and she couldn't help but reach out and stroke the shiny horse hair.
The stable boy saw the two young men and could not help but frown: "Where did you come from, you little beggars? Don't dirty my BMW."
"Hey, buddy, I want this horse. How much do you want?" Lin Xiyan asked with her head raised.
The servant raised his chin slightly, his eyebrows and eyes full of pride:
"This horse is truly the finest horse in the stable, with a pure and noble pedigree. It is meticulously cared for daily, and fed the freshest and tenderest fodder..."
Lin Xiyan interrupted him impatiently. She didn't have the leisure to listen to the servant's boasting at the moment.
"Tell me frankly, how much silver would it cost to buy it?"
"Hmph, twenty taels of silver. Little kid, do you have that much money?"
After saying that, he stared at Lin Xiyan with a smug look, as if he was sure that she would not be able to produce it.
"It's only twenty taels of silver."
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Xiyan took out two taels of gold from her sleeve under the astonished gaze of the servants.
"That's enough."
What's the big deal about a few small amounts of money? This girl has no shortage of these things.
With space and treasury in hand, you will become rich!
Jiang Moyu was also very surprised. How could this little girl have such a large sum of money?!
The servant looked at Lin Xiyan's tattered clothes again and felt suspicious. How could such a little beggar have so much gold? Could it be fake?
He took the gold with half belief and half doubt, looked at it carefully, and bit it with his teeth...it was real gold!
"In that case, young masters and young ladies, where should we send this horse?"
"No need, I want to ride now." Lin Xiyan nodded slightly to Jiang Moyu.
Jiang Moyu understood what he meant, stepped quickly into the stable, patted the horse's head, whispered a few words, and then climbed onto the horse a little awkwardly.
Lin Xiyan looked at him, as if she saw a rich young man training horses in his own stable.
"Xier, come on up!" With the help of Jiang Moyu, Lin Xiyan also sat steadily on the horse's back.
Jiang Moyu waved the whip lightly, and the horse immediately moved forward steadily on the road.
"This kind of horse is truly extraordinary, and it walks very steadily!" Jiang Moyu couldn't help but admire it. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a pleasure of riding.
"Brother Mo Yu is an excellent rider. Now hurry to Bailiang Bridge over the Xizu River."
"Okay, Xier is done!" Jiang Moyu was in high spirits and swung the whip again.
Soon, they arrived at the bank of Xizu River. Lin Xiyan signaled Jiang Moyu to tie the horse under a tree in the forest.
"Brother Mo Yu, please hide here and wait. I'll be back soon."
Jiang Moyu looked at Lin Xiyan's thin back, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
It is truly admirable that such a young girl has such extraordinary courage and bravery.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Moyu was afraid that Lin Xiyan might encounter an accident if she was traveling alone, so he wanted to follow her.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyan simply waved her hand gently and said in a light tone, "It would be more convenient for me to go alone! You just wait here with peace of mind."
Lin Xiyan hid in the thick grass beside the Zucchini River.
From a distance, one could see three large horse-drawn carriages parked by the bridge, fully loaded with medicinal herbs.
The shopkeeper stood outside waiting, muttering, "We've been waiting for over a quarter of an hour, and there's still no sign of the little girl's convoy."
"Boss, could it be that we've been fooled by that young lady?" the waiter secretly speculated.
"That shouldn't happen. I still have her three gold bars in my hand." The shopkeeper couldn't help but look panicked.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the woods nearby, and the shopkeeper and his clerk became nervous.
