Chapter 673: Little Brother is worried
The veins on Xuanyuan Jin's forehead were throbbing.
I wish I could slap the money rat to death.
What if it still despises him?
Don't think he can't understand what this dead mouse means!
He will definitely get a cat someday!
"Su Tang!" Xuanyuan Jin glared at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao: “…”
I feel a little timid for some reason.
"Um, brother, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten I had such a great name."
It can be seen that the little brother is very angry!
"If you don't want me to stew it, take it away!" Xuanyuan Jin gave the final order with a dark face.
As a result, before Tang Bao could speak, the Rat of Wealth jumped down and disappeared with a "whoosh".
Sure enough, Cai Shu also knew that Xuanyuan Jin had reached the limit of his patience.
Xuanyuan Jin breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound, and his tense muscles also relaxed.
"You don't want to drink so much?" Xuanyuan Jin asked, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Yeah!" Tang Bao nodded heavily: "Anyway, if you don't drink, I won't drink!"
It is absolutely impossible that I am a chubby girl and you are a handsome young man with a graceful figure!
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at Tang Bao, a hint of compromise flashing in his eyes.
"Come here for dinner every day from now on." Xuanyuan Jin said.
It is equivalent to agreeing with Tang Bao's words——
He drinks with her!
Tang Bao: “…”
Forget it, just drink it!
Anyway, she is not the only one who has gained weight!
The two reached an agreement and continued eating.
By the way, Xuanyuan Jin only eats like this when Tang Bao is around.
Otherwise, "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping" is a rule he has strictly followed since he was a child.
There won't be any sound from the spoon hitting the bowl.
"Brother, you haven't told me yet, what kind of fish is this? We don't have this kind of fish here, right?" Tang Bao asked.
If there was, she would have eaten it.
"This is silver thread fish shipped from Nanzhou."
Xuanyuan Jin answered while picking up a tofu skin soup dumpling for Tang Bao.
"Nanzhou?" Tang Bao looked surprised.
Nanzhou is at least a thousand miles away from Fengqi County.
The fish are transported from thousands of miles away to be sold, so won’t they be sold at a sky-high price?
This is not a modern city with convenient transportation.
Moreover, this fish must have been slaughtered alive.
It completely retains the freshness of live fish!
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Tang Bao without saying a word.
The meaning is very clear, eat quickly!
Tang Bao had no choice but to pick up the soup dumplings and eat them. Xuanyuan Jin then said, "The silver thread fish in Nanzhou are world-famous. They only survive in the flowing spring water of Nanzhou. If you catch them and put them into other water, or if the spring water is not flowing, they will soon become dead."
Tang Bao: "...then, how did this fish get here?"
At least it will take ten days or half a month to get there.
Even if you put it in a wooden barrel filled with mountain spring water, it won't work.
"Is it that difficult?" Xuanyuan Jin gave Tang Bao a strange look. "Fill a few wooden barrels with spring water. After catching the silver thread fish, put them in the barrels. Also, prepare enough clean spring water. Someone should pour it in slowly and continuously..."
As Xuanyuan Jin spoke, Tang Bao's eyes widened.
Isn’t it difficult?
How much manpower, material resources and water resources would this require?
"Brother, I want to ask, how much silver does a fish like this sell for?" Tang Bao asked, looking at the silver thread fish on the plate, of which only the head was left after she had eaten it.
"How should I know?" Xuanyuan Jin said confidently, "I won't interfere in such trivial matters. Do I need to ask the price of a fish?"
Tang Bao: "...But, this kind of fish must be very expensive!"
Tang Bao emphasized.
This is definitely not a silver thread fish, it is at least a golden thread fish, maybe even a diamond fish!
"So what if it's expensive? It's not like we can't afford it." Xuanyuan Jin said casually, "Don't worry, I'll have it delivered regularly so you can have it anytime."
Tang Bao: “…”
I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered that famous saying——
A horse gallops through the red dust, and the concubine smiles. No one knows that it is the lychees coming.
Bah! Bah! Bah!
I am not Yang Guifei!
but--
Tang Bao looked at Xuanyuan Jin and sighed, "Brother, you are really - too rich!"
You have money, but I don’t feel at ease when I eat it!
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she gave Xuanyuan Jin a thumbs up.
Arrogant!
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at Tang Bao's tender white fingers.
It seems like there is less flesh on my fingers.
It was originally in sections, like peeled bamboo shoots, white and plump.
Now the white is still as white, but the blue veins are faintly visible...
Xuanyuan Jin was unhappy again.
Since the little girl likes to eat this silver thread fish, we must have someone deliver it to her often!
"I don't have much else to spend my money on except supporting you." Xuanyuan Jin said casually, "Besides, my grandfather has been guarding the gold mine for many years. I can use the gold there whenever I want."
Tang Bao never expected that Xuanyuan Jin would say this.
Grandpa Gan has always been strict in military discipline and has been upright, loyal and brave.
Would you agree to let your little brother use the gold belonging to the court at will?
impossible!
"Brother, you are not allowed to embarrass Grandpa!" Tang Bao said seriously: "You have violated the law and used the gold mine as your own change bank, embezzling it and taking it at will. How can Grandpa manage the army? It is possible that Grandpa secretly paid out of his own pocket to fill your hole!"
As Tang Bao spoke to the end, she felt more and more that this was possible!
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Xuanyuan Jin looked at her as if she was a little fool.
"Are you stupid? The emperor knew I was here, but he still sent grandpa to guard the gold mine. Isn't the meaning obvious?" Xuanyuan Jin said, "If I behaved properly and didn't take a penny, wouldn't that be unfilial?"
Tang Bao: “…”
Can it be explained this way?
"I'm not stupid, so I wouldn't do anything unfilial! Grandpa is even more stupid, so he wouldn't let me do anything unfilial!" Xuanyuan Jin added confidently, "You're the only one, you little fool!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, she's stupid!
"Brother, if you were an official, you would definitely be a corrupt official!" Tang Bao said sincerely: "You have a lot of crooked logic, and you can find legitimate reasons for corruption!"
"As long as I don't exploit the people, don't withhold their money, don't bend the law for personal gain, and ensure clean and honest administration, and as long as people with more money than they can spend are happy to give me gifts and beg me to spend them, why shouldn't I help them? This isn't called corruption, this is called helping others achieve their goals!"
Tang Bao was almost speechless.
"It's easy to be soft-hearted when you eat other people's food, and it's easy to be soft-handed when you take other people's things!" Tang Bao reminded.
She couldn't help but worry, did the little brother grow crooked without her knowing?
"Don't worry! I'm tough on words, but my fists are even tougher!" Xuanyuan Jin said, "The situation you're talking about doesn't exist!"
Tang Bao: "...Brother, you are so shameless."
Tang Bao sighed and shook his head.
The little brother's values are no longer upright!
Xuanyuan Jin felt a little funny and a little regretful when he saw Tang Bao's look.
The little girl is still young, why should I say these things to her?
Sometimes you need to go with the flow and accept it, so that others will feel at ease.
And sometimes, money can buy peace of mind...
A hint of mockery flashed across Xuanyuan Jin's eyes.
Tang Bao immediately felt the change in Xuanyuan Jin's mood.
"Brother, you..." Tang Bao said hesitantly.
"Hurry up and eat yours!" Xuanyuan Jin picked up a soup dumpling and stuffed it into Tang Bao's mouth: "You can't even eat properly, why are you talking so much?!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, the little brother really has something on his mind.
