Chapter 265: Burying the Silver Under the Tree

The old prince also sat beside him, smiling and listening with great interest, as if he were an outsider.

It seemed as if he had not borrowed the emperor's money. Minister Lin could not help but sigh that the old prince was extremely shameless.

If he had cheated the emperor of such a large sum of money and ran away, he would not dare to reveal any news, let alone come back.

Fortunately, the emperor was kind and valued this uncle. Otherwise, with a wanted order, how could the old prince be so carefree outside for so long?

Lin Mo looked at the old prince with more and more admiration. It was true that a lowly person is invincible. The old prince was indeed a role model!

But Lin Mo was still very curious, "Prince, how much silver did you borrow at the beginning?" Then you didn't dare to come back for decades, how much money did you borrow?

The old prince laughed and said proudly, "Not much, not much, all added up to hundreds of thousands of taels."

Hundreds of thousands of taels! So much! You are living on gold outside, so much money!

Bai Xiao added: "He borrowed 200,000 from the emperor alone, and the emperor was penniless all of a sudden. The emperor saved money for so long with great effort, but was cheated by his uncle in an instant. 】

【Then all the high officials and nobles in the capital city who he knew quit borrowing money from him, and he also borrowed money from some wealthy businessmen who wanted to establish a relationship with him. This is a lot of money. 】

The Lin family father and daughter raised a thumb in admiration. This person is really not an ordinary person!

It is really his ability to borrow so much money.

Old Wang felt a little embarrassed by their looks. He explained modestly, "I didn't expect to stay away for so long. I just wanted to travel around for a few years, but it's so much fun out there. The scenery there is incomparable to this small place in Beijing."

"I've been traveling around and doing business for these years. I invested all the money in my business. I lost some at the beginning, but I slowly made some money later."

"I am old now, and it is not good for me to go out and wander around, so I thought of coming back. Anyway, I don't have any descendants. I plan to donate all the money I made before to the national treasury except for my family's own expenses, which can be regarded as compensation to my nephew."

He didn't expect his nephew to be so poor at that time. Who could have thought that a prince would be so poor? He thought that his nephew was hiding his talents and deliberately pretending to be frugal to others.

In fact, the main purpose of coming back this time is to retire, but mainly to see the legendary Lord Kobayashi.

Today, I saw that he is indeed extraordinary, with an interesting personality and appearance. Lin Huan gave birth to a good daughter!

Just now he thought he had seen Lin Huan's appearance when he was young. The father and daughter were really cut from the same cloth.

It's just that Master Lin is a little shorter, while Lin Huan was already very tall when he was young.

At first, he admired such a handsome boy very much. After all, who wouldn't appreciate beautiful things?

The old man of the Lin family also had a good appearance, so his son was naturally good-looking, and he was even better than his father. The daughter born to this son was also good-looking. I don't know how Lin Huan's other two children looked like.

I heard that the eldest son looked very much like his mother, and he was the first to be appointed as the third place in the imperial examination. He is also the number one son in the capital today.

The previous number one son in the capital was still Lin Huan. This family is really rich.

"Oh, it's getting late. I should go back. My man is quite attached to me. If I don't go back, he might make trouble again."

When Old Wang talked about the man at home, he couldn't stop smiling.

Lin Mo asked Bai Xiao curiously: [What does the person that Old Wang likes look like? Why does Old Wang like him so much?]

Bai Xiao: [You can tell with your toes that he is very good-looking, but not the best-looking. They are together because their values ​​and personalities match. Appearance is only one aspect. If it comes to appearance, then Old Wang would have liked your father a long time ago.]

Old Wang: ...

Minister Lin: ...

You two are really good at talking. Are you praising me or insulting me?

Holding this big bag of silver, Lin Mo kept his mouth shut on the way home.

Although this thing is heavy, its heaviness is really reassuring.

Minister Lin wanted to help her carry it, but she refused.

"I can carry it myself. How can I let you do it? I'm too unfilial. I still have enough strength."

Lin Mo held the silver in her arms and spoke righteously, as if no one believed her. Minister

Lin sneered and said, "You can hold it if you want. I don't know where you put the silver. If your mother finds out, you will definitely be beaten."

Lin Mo retorted, "Dad, you don't have anywhere else to put it. If your hidden money is discovered by your conscience, you will end up worse than me." The father

and daughter confronted each other, and neither of them was willing to take a step back.

Bai Xiao beside him sighed silently. What are they fighting for? It would be better to leave it here.

His uninhabited yard is the safest. Everyone thinks he lives there, so ordinary people won't go in.

(Everyone: Haha, as long as you are happy.)

After returning home, the father and daughter covered each other and buried the silver under a tree.

Lin Mo also told her father: "Dad, you must remember that it is this tree. It is agreed that this money is for me to use. Dad, you can't dig the money out secretly."

Minister Lin: ... You act like someone is precious. I want to keep the money because I am afraid that you will spend it all at once.

Can't you put it somewhere else? Do you have to bury it underground? There are so many places to hide.

In the middle of the night, Lin Mo lay in bed and felt uneasy.

The tree is outside and the silver is at the root of the tree. This is too unsafe.

What if some maids or servants dig out the silver? That would be a huge loss.

"No, I have to dig the silver out. This is too unsafe."

Bai Xiao lay on her pillow and said speechlessly: "What's unsafe? Is it not safe for me to monitor you? I will tell you if there is any problem. Go to sleep quickly."

Lin Moshou slapped him in the face, "What if you didn't monitor us? That would be too dangerous. That's not a small amount of money. It's several months' expenses for both of us."

Bai Xiao: ...Are you going to press me to death with your palm?
