"I, I don't have any. But can I borrow some on credit? I've only got five hundred taels now, and since I heard your most expensive ticket was three hundred, I thought five hundred would be enough for this special ticket."
Cheng Jinxing was a little depressed.
"I can give you some credit, but when can you pay me back? Can you pay me back before I leave your house? Or, if you don't pay me back, I'll tell your family and ask them for it. How about that?"
Master Li nodded and said.
"you……"
Cheng Jinxing didn't expect that his aunt Hanyu's idol was so shameless. Even after being told that he could buy on credit, he still threatened to ask his family for payment if he couldn't pay it back.
That would be so embarrassing!
"Will you agree? If you agree, I'll find a way for you to make everything so reasonable that no one will doubt your good intentions."
Master Li asked again.
"Okay! I promise, I will work hard to pay you back!"
Cheng Jinxing thought about it for a long time. Although he had no idea where to find five hundred taels in such a short time, he still agreed.
His idea was simple, he just wanted Xue Hanyu to be happy.
"master!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door from the woman who led Cheng Jinxing.
"Enter!"
Master Li immediately returned to the cold look she had just had when Cheng Jinxing saw her.
The woman came in and respectfully handed over some papers.
Master Li took a casual look at it, drew the word "OK" on the paper, and let the woman go.
"Master, you don't ask them questions?"
After everyone left, Cheng Jinxing wondered.
"What's there to ask? These are students from the county below Yunzhou, as well as some young ladies from wealthy families. There's nothing wrong with them; this is the kind of people who come here every year. I asked you to come in for questioning, but it's only because you're a constable from the yamen, and this is the first time I've seen this kind of situation."
Master Li explained.
"Come on, leave your money and write me an IOU."
Master Li stood up and went to get a pen and paper for Cheng Jinxing.
Cheng Jinxing felt his heart bleeding.
The Cheng family has been making a lot of money recently, and the monthly wages of the family members have increased, but he, the grandson, only gets ten taels of silver a month, and he hasn't saved enough for a few months.
In addition, he often helped people in the yamen, and the gifts he received from others were also several taels.
It was his birthday last month, and his family knew his character, so they gave him a red envelope but didn't buy him anything.
He has been going to the tavern to help out when he has nothing to do recently, but he only earns a hundred coins a day.
In this way, he finally saved up more than one hundred taels and was ready to buy a pony. He had to trouble Lord Ji to find a good horse. As a result, in order to buy a ticket for Xue Hanyu, his money was gone, and his pony had to run away with someone else again.
Not only that, he also borrowed more than 330 taels from Mingzhu, and agreed to return 350 taels to Mingzhu before next year's exam.
Alas, now I am in debt of another five hundred taels.
It’s so hard to be a human being!
My heart bleeds for every word I write.
Cheng Jinxing felt as if his heart had been stabbed dozens of times.
Master Li found Cheng Jinxing's little appearance very interesting.
She became even more curious about the Cheng family. What kind of family could raise such a son? Such a pure heart is very rare.
Prime Minister Xue, that old dog, did all kinds of bad things in his life. He never thought that his daughter was so lucky to be loved by such a good child.
As someone who has been through this, and whose experience is very similar to Xue Hanyu's, how could he not understand Cheng Jinxing's intentions?
