Thinking that Zhao Wu, Zhang San, and Wang Er were escorting Madam Feng and seven or eight other prisoners to Qingzhou City, they would definitely pass by here. I had to find a way to delay the time so that I could directly meet up with her mother.
"We found too much valuables. It's not good to keep them all on one person. I think we should divide the money first. This way we won't be a big target and won't be easily targeted." Feng Jiuyan suggested.
Zhang Chong spoke first, "Xiaowu and I don't want the money. We'll keep it with you as food expenses."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded. He didn't need the money. "Yes, I'll leave it with you."
Song Chen also said, "Miss Feng, An Ning and I don't want any more. During this period, we are grateful for your care, the madam, and A'li. If it weren't for you, we two brothers and sisters might not have survived until now. All the silver that An Ning and I have is given to you. We don't want anything else. Even if I give you all this silver, I'm afraid it won't be enough to repay you and the madam for saving our lives." He looked at Feng Jiuyan gratefully.
Song Ning nodded, "Yes, Sister Feng. The kindness you have shown to me and my brother will never be repaid in our lifetime. Please accept this money."
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
She was just trying to buy time by dividing the spoils. She didn't expect that these two people would not be interested in material possessions.
She is different. She would be so happy if she found a few coins on the road.
So, when I heard a few people say they didn't want the money and wanted to give it all to her, it would be a lie to say I wasn't excited.
However, she had more money in her space than she could spend, so she wouldn't take even the small amount of money from a few people.
Not to mention Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu, even the Song Chen brothers and sisters would need money to solve their food, clothing, shelter and transportation after arriving at the place of exile. She could never accept this money.
Feng Jiuyan raised his right hand and rejected the good intentions of several people. "Stop it, brothers, let's settle the accounts clearly. We should divide the money as we should, and we can't generalize."
Zhang Chong, Zhang Xiaowu, and the brother and sister Song Chen wanted to say something, but they were all blocked by Feng Jiuyan's words. "If you want to add more dishes or something, you can give me money when the time comes."
Feng Jiuyan had said this, and although Zhang Chong, Zhang Xiaowu, and Song Chen were somewhat helpless, they had no way to refuse.
She suggested, "We will divide the silver found on the top of the mountain equally, and the silver found in the forest will be divided equally among the five of you. I just went out to explore the way and did not participate in the search for silver, so it does not count as my share."
Zhang Chong and the other three disagreed, "You explored the way for everyone, so all the silver should be divided equally."
Feng Jiuyan found it a little funny. Others were quarreling and splitting up over a piece of silver, but these few people were different. They were afraid that the other party would suffer a loss, so they kept pushing the responsibility back and forth.
Although she thought that they were all "weird", it was undeniable that Feng Jiuyan had fewer worries when she was with them. At least she didn't have to worry about being schemed against by the four of them.
In this way, the men put all the silver, gold, and jade pendants they had found together and divided them into six portions, according to the number of people.
In the end, Feng Jiuyan received 158 taels of silver, four jade pendants, and 17 taels of gold!
This is a very good income, enough for an ordinary family to live a lifetime and still live a rich life.
The men were holding the heavy silver coins, their faces filled with satisfied smiles. The upward curve of their mouths was so high that even an AK could not suppress it.
Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu were also a little excited.
"Xiaowu, you can buy whatever you want to eat during your exile, hahaha~"
Zhang Xiaowu rolled his eyes at Zhang Chong and put his share of silver into his pocket. "It's as if I'm starving you on the way to exile."
Zhang Chong scratched his head and said, "Haha, that's not what I meant."
Just when he was about to tease Zhang Xiaowu, he heard the Song Chen brother and sister talking.
"With so much silver, it should be enough for us to buy a small courtyard in Youzhou." Song Chen weighed the silver in his hand and said excitedly.
"That should be enough, brother. It's great that we finally have our own home." The smile on Song Ning's face never stopped, and his eyes were full of yearning for the future.
The brother and sister have lived in the homes of others since they were young. Although the tribesmen treated them well, it was still a life of dependence on others. Therefore, the brother and sister's biggest wish in this life was to have a small yard of their own.
Being exiled was already miserable enough, but the brother and sister never expected that they would make a fortune during exile.
Feng Jiuyan and the others listened to the conversation between the brother and sister and felt that their lives were very rough.
She comforted them, "With so much money, you can definitely buy a yard. Don't worry, good fortune is in the future, and your life will be more prosperous in the future."
"Yes, thanks to Sister Feng for her good words."
"I'd like to borrow Miss Feng's good words."
The brother and sister looked at Feng Jiuyan with gratitude. If it weren't for her, they would have been beheaded long ago, let alone making such a windfall.
Feng Jiuyan took the two portions of money that belonged to her and Feng Jiuli and put them all into her messenger bag, actually into the space. She turned her head and thought of Song Chen and Song Ning. Considering the low martial arts value of the brother and sister, and carrying such a large amount of money on their bodies, it might be unsafe.
She looked at the two of them and said, "Do you need me to keep your money for you?"
Song Chen smiled gratefully and quickly handed the silver that the two siblings had received to Feng Jiuyan, "That's great. I was just wondering where to hide it. Thank you, Miss Feng."
The brother and sister left a few taels of silver on them, and the rest was all wrapped in a small piece of cloth.
"If you need money, just tell me and I'll give it back to you."
The brother and sister expressed their gratitude again.
Just as I put the silver away, I heard voices coming from not far away.
Several people's expressions were startled, and they became alert. They quickly found a place to hide.
Feng Jiuyan was probably escorting Zhao Wu and the others here, but he still followed Zhang Chong and the others and hid well to avoid being exposed.
She had sharp ears and eyes and could hear clearly what the people were talking about.
"Zhang San, do you think there are still bandits guarding the forest? It's scary."
"Well, there shouldn't be any. Didn't Lord Wang pass by here on his way to Qingzhou City? Since we didn't hear any noise, the bandits should not be in the forest anymore."
"It's hard to say. Who knows if Lord Wang was caught by the bandits? Oh, I thought this mission would be safe and easy, but I didn't expect that my neck would be tied to my belt."
"That's right. If I had known, I would have let Lord Meng go first. We will come after they pass by here. It will be safer this way."
"Shh, stop talking. Be careful, there are bandits ahead. If they hear us, we're all doomed!"
Hearing their words, Feng Jiuyan's mouth twitched. He had been muttering all the way. Isn't it a little late to say this now?
These people are so lucky to have survived the bandits!
