Chapter 255 Eighty Taels of Silver
He doesn't look like a thief at all.
After finishing half a bottle of wine, two quarters of an hour had passed.
Bai Jizu was a little tipsy.
He stood up and took two staggering steps, as if he had thought of what he was going to do tonight, and he suddenly came to his senses.
He quickly tiptoed and opened Wanzhen's door.
"Creaky--" Followed by the creaking sound of old wood.
He walked to his mother's bed.
The silver was hidden under the bed, and he slowly squatted down.
But clothes are too troublesome.
I just lay down and stretched out my arms to feel around inside.
There was nothing under the bed except a wooden box filled with silver, which I found easily by touching it.
The box was not locked.
Bai Jizu opened the wooden box.
Take all the eighty taels inside.
The heavy silver, when held in the pocket of clothes, does feel quite heavy.
When he left, he couldn't even bring himself to close the door, so he had to run a second time to put the wooden box back and close the door.
As for the burnt incense on the ground, he had already cleaned it up.
Wan Zhen, who knew nothing about this, fell into a coma under the effect of the love incense.
After getting the silver, Bai Jizu went straight to the sleepless alley of Baishi Street.
Although it is said that it never sleeps, in fact, most of the shops in the alley are closed.
It was called this name because there was a brothel and a kiln here.
In the past, when he had no money, Bai Jizu could only work in a kiln.
But now he has eighty taels of silver in his pocket.
Of course, you have to go to a more expensive brothel.
The heavy load of silver did not tire Bai Jizu. After drinking, he could not get rid of the heat in his heart.
I'm about to explode.
I saw his steps getting faster and faster.
Until it stopped at the gate of Mengyue Building.
"Hey, isn't this our Master Bai? It's been a long time since we last met. You're finally here. Please come in quickly. Ladies, we have guests. Please treat them well."
The madam is worried about the lack of business today.
So the attitude is particularly good.
After saying this, her eyes suddenly narrowed because she saw Bai Jizu carrying a heavy bag.
Through the fabric, it is obvious that the protruding edges inside are silver.
That's good.
Her attitude became more flattering.
He personally walked forward and helped Bai Jizu inside, rubbing his chest against him from time to time.
Unfortunately, she was old and ugly, and even though she had a great figure, Bai Jizu was not interested in her.
"Where's Mei'er? Let her accompany me tonight. Master has money!"
The Mei'er mentioned by Bai Jizu is the most popular courtesan in Mengyue Tower.
She is extremely charming and her name suits her.
The sound of her voice was like that of a woman expressing lust.
Just one word makes my bones fall apart.
Bai Jizu spent hundreds of taels of silver on her. Later, when the family's money was gone and all the shops and land were sold, he could no longer afford to spend.
I can only go to the kiln opposite to play.
After saying this, Bai Jizu took out twenty taels from his bag and placed it in the madam's hand.
The madam quickly caught it with both hands, her eyes full of greed, but she rolled her eyes.
His face immediately turned stern.
"Hey, hey, I'll tell you the truth. Mei'er was kept by someone else some time ago, and she was specifically asked to keep her body. So, Mei'er can't accompany you. So, how about I call you a prostitute? I guarantee she'll be pretty, not much worse than Mei'er."
"I'll give you another twenty taels. If you can't let Mei'er accompany me, then I'll leave."
Bai Jizu knew that the madam was trying to raise the price.
He took out another twenty taels with a distressed look on his face.
He thought that if the madam didn't agree, he would leave immediately.
The reason why a brothel owner can be a brothel owner is because she is accustomed to the world, has experienced many things, and can read people's expressions.
I saw that Bai Jizu's face looked strange.
She nodded quickly.
"Okay, okay, you are a frequent visitor to our Mengyue Building. Although you haven't been here for a while, we all miss you. Mei'er has mentioned you many times, and I thought you had forgotten her. I will go tell her the good news now. Let's go to the private room on the second floor near the stairs. Chun'er, take the guest to the private room, and I will go call Mei'er."
The madam's smile was as beautiful as a chrysanthemum.
He walked away with the silver.
Just one sentence.
I earned twenty more taels.
A night of spring.
When I woke up again, it was already noon.
Bai Jizu had a sore back. The prostitute named Mei'er had already put on her clothes and was standing by his bed.
"Mr. Bai, Mama Hong just asked me, are you staying here tonight?"
Mei'er's voice was so sweet that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it.
Bai Jizu, who had already experienced it last night, had another idea.
"How much silver does Mother Hong want?" he asked tentatively.
"Mother said it would be the same as last night, but Mei'er loves you, so I took the initiative and asked mother to let her reduce the amount by twenty taels. How about that? Mr. Bai, can you accompany Mei'er tonight? Mei'er misses you so much. You haven't come to see me for a long time. I thought, I thought, you had forgotten Mei'er."
As Mei'er spoke, her eyes turned red.
Bai Jizu was heartbroken.
"Okay, okay, I'll accompany you, but I can't stay too long because I have something to do at home. So, I'll leave tomorrow at noon. You can give this money to mom."
Bai Jizu originally wanted to take the remaining forty taels and spend a day in the casino.
Now it’s okay, there are only twenty taels left.
I'm afraid the morning's work will be wasted.
Wan Zhen, who was having lunch at home, didn't know that the wooden box under her bed was empty.
"I went to the pawnshop this morning and found a shop on Wanlu Street that was a bit cheaper. Sixty taels would buy a small shop without a yard. But it was too small. At most, I could only put two tables and chairs inside. I'm afraid the rent wouldn't be high if I rented it out."
Wan Zhen took a mouthful of rice porridge and spoke to Bai Qianshan beside him.
"I'll go check it out this afternoon. If I still can't find something suitable, I'll just buy it. It's better than living off the land. Qian, where's Jizu? Why is he nowhere to be seen? Is he still sleeping?"
Bai Qianshan was halfway through his meal when he remembered that his son was not there.
He asked his daughter-in-law across from him.
"My husband, he has not been home this morning." Qian fed her son in her arms a mouthful of porridge and did not have time to eat it herself.
Her voice was soft, and she could clearly hear some disappointment.
"You love to run outside all day long. You can't even hear the sound of your phone in your pocket. I don't know what you are doing outside. Hey, Wangye, you should eat more and grow up quickly. Don't learn from your spendthrift father. He will squander all the money in the house sooner or later."
Bai Qianshan picked up a piece of food for Sun Zi with his chopsticks and cursed him viciously.
"Well, your grandfather didn't ask you to do that, why are you scolding him? Just eat, even food can't stop your stinky mouth."
Wan Zhen protects his son.
How could I have heard Bai Qianshan scold him like that?
She slammed her chopsticks on the table.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Jiang’s Snack Shop at the same time.
Jiang Fubao had already finished her meal. She burped and sat on the doorstep in front of the shop.
She seemed to be playing with the guests, but in fact her big eyes were fixed on the door.
That familiar person appeared again.
