Because they could not return to the camp, and because Yinzhen gave the token to his confidant to do the errand, they only had the twenty taels of silver that Chang Shun brought with them on their next journey.
According to the current prices, twenty taels of silver can support them until they return to the capital. However, they have to live in the worst place and eat the simplest food. After all, there are three people in their group and they have to feed a horse.
But Yin'er said he was unwilling to let Jiang Ranli suffer no matter what, so the food and accommodation along the way were not only the best, but also extremely clean and tidy.
Looking at the three dishes and one soup in front of her, Jiang Ranli helplessly looked at the man opposite her with eyes full of apology.
"Master Jiu, I really can just eat whatever I want. After all, we don't have much money on us, so we have to be frugal."
Yinzhen reached out and rubbed Jiang Ranli's head, and said while pouring soup for her, "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me taking the initiative, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. Just eat something for now, and don't worry about the money."
Along the way, Jiang Ranli didn't know how many times she had heard the man in front of her apologize. To be honest, she was no longer angry. After all, no matter how angry she was, the thing had already happened. Moreover, his attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good, so she didn't want to argue with him anymore.
"Master Jiu, it's done."
Chang Shun walked in from outside, whispered in Yin'er's ear, and handed him an envelope.
Jiang Ranli looked at them. Although she didn't hear what Chang Shun said, she could guess what was in the envelope.
He clearly didn't bring any money with him, so where did the banknotes in the envelope come from?
Although Yinzhen was the ninth prince of the Qing Dynasty, he did not have his token of loyalty on him. Even if he told people on the street about his identity, no one would believe him. So, in this situation, Jiang Ranli was very curious about where he got the banknotes.
Noticing Jiang Ranli's gaze, Yinzhen looked at her with a smile. His evil and handsome face became even more handsome and charming because of the smile, attracting everyone in the restaurant to look at him in amazement.
"Li'er, take a look at what you want to eat, I'll treat you."
Yin'er wanted to give Jiang Ranli the best, even under the worst conditions, but after much persuasion, Jiang Ranli ordered three dishes and a soup, all of which were vegetarian. Yin'er was heartbroken but had no choice. Now he could finally stop letting his beloved woman worry about her life.
"Did you pick up some silver?" Jiang Ranli asked.
Yinzhen smiled when he heard this, and gently scratched Jiang Ranli's nose with his slender fingers, "Silly boy, is silver so easy to pick up?"
After saying that, he glanced sideways and instructed Chang Shun, "Call the waiter over and see what dishes they cook well and bring a few more."
"Oh, no need, these will do."
Jiang Ranli tried to stop them, saying that three dishes and one soup were enough for the three of them.
"You have lost weight in the past few days. Even if I am hungry today, you have to eat well. What's more, we have the conditions now."
As he spoke, Yinzhen picked up the envelope and handed it to Jiang Ranli. When he opened it, he saw seven or eight silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels each.
"Where did you get it?" Jiang Ranli asked.
Yinzhen smiled and said nothing. Just then, the waiter brought over beef and braised chicken. Yinzhen hurriedly picked up some dishes for Jiang Ranli and gently asked her to eat more.
He didn't want to say, and Jiang Ranli didn't continue to ask. Besides, she was indeed hungry at this time.
All they had passed through before were villages and small towns. Even though Yin'er wanted to give her the best, the conditions were still limited. Today was the first big city they encountered, so Yin'er could order as many dishes as he wanted.
