Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei looked at each other, and did not even open the other two paper balls. Xiaowei held the silver bill in his hand, and Xiaozhuang held two paper balls and a cloth bag in his hand. The two brothers used their lightness skills and walked out of the bath room in a flash.
Xiaosha stood in a daze in the outer room of the bathhouse for a while. After coming to his senses, he ran out of the bathhouse desperately. The silver note worth ten thousand taels was found in the pile of melon seeds. Xiaosha felt that something bad was going to happen again!
Gu Xinglang was sitting in the bedroom and worrying at the moment. How much money was left at home, Young Master Gu didn't know, but he knew how many people were in the farm inside Wangxiang Pass. There were thousands of people, how much money would it cost?
Yu Xiaoxiao buried her head in eating noodles. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess felt pain in her heart, she was concerned about both money and food, and these were not contradictory to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Nanny Wang was upset and regretful. If she had known that the Gu family was such a bottomless pit, she would have tried to get more dowry for her princess. Now that the princess has married into the Gu family, can she still go back and ask the emperor for money?
Xiaofeng spread all the gossip she heard, and then started to worry about what to do.
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei were standing at the bedroom door at this time, calling out "Princess" together.
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her head, looked at the half-open door, and said, "Is there any trouble again?"
Nanny Wang felt dizzy before her eyes. She couldn't bear the stimulation day and night any more.
"Come in," Gu Xinglang responded to Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei.
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei ran into the house.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the brothers, looked behind them, and said, "Are people from the Eternal Life Temple coming to kill us?"
Xiao Wei placed the banknote in front of Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Princess, look."
Yu Xiaoxiao lowered her head. Although she was illiterate, she was familiar with the currency of this world. "Isn't this a silver note?" Yu Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Wei, "Xiao Wei, you want to give me money?"
Gu Xinglang stretched his head to take a look, and then asked in surprise: "Ten thousand taels? Where did you get so much money, Xiao Wei?"
"Ten thousand taels?" Nanny Wang also shouted.
"Also, there are two more," Xiaozhuang placed two paper balls in front of Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao picked up a ball of paper, looked at it and said, "Is this also a banknote?" Who has nothing better to do than to crumple a banknote into such a small ball?
Gu Xinglang opened the two pieces of paper, and then everyone in the room, except Yu Xiaoxiao, gasped. Two 10,000 tael notes and one 20,000 tael note, a total of 40,000 taels!
Yu Xiaoxiao read the words on the banknote again and again and asked Gu Xinglang, "How much is this?"
Before Gu Xinglang could say anything, Xiaozhuang said to Yu Xiao: "Forty thousand taels, Princess, this is a silver note of forty thousand taels!"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Wei, her eyes were already quite big, and now they were getting bigger and bigger, to the point of popping out of their sockets. Yu Xiaoxiao said, "Xiao Wei, how do you have so much money?" Could it be that the secret guards around his father were all high-paid people? Being a secret guard was so lucrative, Yu Xiaoxiao thought she could do it, too. With this idea in mind, before Xiao Wei could speak, Yu Xiaoxiao asked again, "How much do you make as secret guards every month?"
Xiao Zhuang said, "Princess, how can we make so much money as secret guards?"
Not salary? Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Wei and her eyes changed again. She said, "Xiao Wei, are you trying to hook up with a rich woman?"
Xiao Wei didn't quite understand what it meant to hook up with a rich woman, but he knew it must be something bad. "Princess, this is what was in the bag of melon seeds," Xiao Wei said to Yu Xiao concisely.
Yu Xiao: "What melon seeds?" There have been so many things going on these past two days that Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't remember at all what melon seeds had to do with her life.
Xiao Wei was anxious now and said, "Princess, when you were looking for Xiaozhuang and Xiong Xiong, you took a bag of melon seeds from Concubine Hua in Xiangyun Palace."
Yu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and looked at the banknote in front of her, it seemed to be true.
Xiao Zhuang said, "Is this Concubine Hua's money?"
"Why did she put the money in melon seeds?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked. Is there any normal woman among her tyrant father's women? Not to mention Concubine Zhao, Concubine Hua's way of hiding money is to hide the banknotes in melon seeds? The belly of the bed is the safest place, right? (Your Highness Princess, your brain is not normal either ==)
At this time, Nanny Wang took the cloth bag from Xiaozhuang's hand into her own hands, flipped it over, and said, "This is something from outside the palace."
"Uh," Yu Xiao: "So what?"
Xiao Zhuang asked, "Did Concubine Hua buy the melon seeds from outside the palace?"
"What does this have to do with the banknotes?" Yu Xiao: "I want to know why Concubine Hua hid the banknotes in the melon seeds?"
Nanny Wang shook her head and said, "Princess, there is Concubine Hua's private vault in Xiangyun Palace. She would not hide the banknotes in melon seeds."
Yu Xiaoxiao was shocked. It wasn't the money hidden by Concubine Hua. What did this mean? "Now you can get free money when you buy melon seeds?" Her Royal Highness stood up and asked excitedly, "Which store is so good?"
…
…
Everyone was silent. Buy half a pound of melon seeds and get 40,000 taels of silver for free? Their princess was really thoughtful.
Nanny Wang was very desperate. What else could she expect from her princess?
Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Princess, please sit down first."
Yu Xiaoxiao said, "Xiao Gu, let's go buy some melon seeds!" The dead dog man told her that before the end of the world, there was a game called lottery in the human world. By spending very little money, people could become rich overnight. Yu Xiaoxiao felt that melon seeds were probably the lottery of this world.
Gu Xinglang said, "Princess, no one sells melon seeds and gives away money."
Yu Xiao: "Isn't this a lottery ticket?"
Gu San Shao said: "Princess, what is lottery?"
Yu Xiaoxiao frowned. It wasn't a lottery ticket, nor was it the money hidden by Concubine Hua. So where did the money come from? Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Wei. Could it be that this young man had robbed it from somewhere?
Xiao Wei felt uneasy when Yu Xiaoxiao looked at him.
Nanny Wang said, "If you count the days, every year at this time, the Hua family will send something to the palace for Concubine Hua. Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Hua likes to eat fried melon seeds from the southwest, so every year the Hua family sends a lot of melon seeds from the southwest to the palace."
Gu Xinglang whispered, "Mammy, do you mean that this is the money Hua Yingzhou gave to Concubine Hua?"
Xiao Zhuang was surprised and said, "Forty thousand taels? What does Concubine Hua need money for in the palace?"
Nanny Wang didn't even bother to look at Xiaozhuang. Her mood would get worse if she saw the idiot too much.
Xiao Wei said, "There are many places in the palace where money is needed. Just to maintain eyeliner, Concubine Hua has to spend a lot of money every year."
Xiao Zhuang looked at Xiao Wei and asked in surprise: "How do you know this?"
What can Xiao Wei say? Can he just tell Xiao Zhuang that he is a fool?
