Chapter 167
With a smile on the corner of An Zhinan's mouth, he said warmly: "I am also entrusted by others, so it would be great if I can help Brother Pei."

"We'll start counting the silver after they've weighed the quantity. We've got all the silver with us, so I promise you won't lose a penny," he said, patting his chest.

An Zhinan nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Pei is an upright person, and my friend has the same temperament. If it wasn't for him not being able to come this time, I think you will become friends too."

Liu Pei smiled, rubbing his hands and asking in a low voice: "Brother Xiaonan, what is your friend's background? Don't look at me like this, I'm just curious, think about it, such good food is He Gong It’s not an exaggeration to compare it with others, who can grow such good food for ordinary people.”

An Zhinan smiled, and said bluntly, "Brother Pei is more concerned about where my friend bought it."

Before Liu Pei could open his mouth, An Zhinan continued: "I really don't know about this kind of private matter, but my friend seems to have some background. As for the background, I don't know. It's not a man's job to inquire about a person's private affairs. , I am naturally not interested in these."

Liu Pei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with an embarrassed smile: "You're right, how can a man talk nonsense like a woman, haha, I'll go see what they say."

Looking at Liu Pei's back, An Zhinan's smile stopped instantly, and an unknown light shone in his eyes.

If An Zhinan's guess is correct, Liu Peifang has understood other thoughts and has been trying to find out the identity of the so-called friend, but he probably has no other bad intentions. At most, he just finds the so-called friend to buy more rice. Of course, if It would be even better if you can find out who sells grain from that friend.

Liu Pei's mind is not bad, but he is a little bit greedy, or eager to make contributions. After all, he also said just now that such high-quality food is not too much for the palace. Coupled with some auspicious words, rewards are indispensable.

Knowing his thoughts, An Zhinan didn't expose it, and didn't want to expose it, who made that friend a fiction from the beginning to the end.

If Liu Pei insisted on inquiring, An Zhinan had already thought about it. At that time, he could only tactfully take advantage of the Gu family's momentum to blackmail him. Fortunately, he realized that he didn't want to say anything, so he stopped in time, otherwise An Zhinan would really tell another lie.

About half an hour later, Liu Pei and others weighed tens of thousands of catties of grain, and the last few people began to count the silver. Ten thousand catties of rice and two thousand catties of white flour made a total of 940 taels of silver. Fortunately, An Zhinan gave Liu Pei I was vaccinated and told the approximate weight of the grain.

Liu Pei took out 1000 taels of silver bills from his pocket and handed them to his subordinates, and said, "Gangzi, go to the bank to exchange the silver bills."

"I'm going right now."

Liu Pei nodded, turned to look at An Zhinan, smiled and said, "Brother Xiaonan, wait a moment, I didn't bring any loose silver with me when I came out, and I will give it to you after Gangzi has exchanged the bank notes."

An Zhinan nodded, and had no objection to this.

Afterwards, Liu Pei took advantage of the time when the banknotes were being exchanged, and ordered the other two men to go back to the government office to find some people to come and transport the grain.

Several people were sitting in the yard talking, and Liu Pei turned his head to look at the food in the main room from time to time, with an excited smile on his face.

An Zhinan couldn't help it, and joked: "The food is right in front of you, Brother Pei really doesn't have to feel daydreaming."

Liu Pei laughed, touched his head embarrassingly and said, "I don't feel like I'm dreaming. It's rare to receive so much food at one time, and it's still high-quality food. I can finally go back this time. For the sake of food, how many of us will be rewarded by the magistrate?"

"That's what Brother Pei deserves. If you want me to tell you, Brother Pei is really responsible. If it were someone else, you might not know how to relax. How can you be like Brother Pei, who spends all day worrying about the magistrate and worrying about the border guards? , even if there are more rewards, the big brothers deserve it."

A passage made Liu Pei and the other two blushed, and the frown and eyes were very happy.

Liu Pei slapped An Zhinan with a slap, and said loudly: "Brother Xiaonan understands me, why don't we meet each other so late? We've known each other for a few days, but I always feel that we know each other." After a long time, I recognize you brother from the bottom of my heart, haha."

An Zhinan smiled gently: "I am the same way. It is my honor to get to know Brother Pei so easily."

The young man sitting next to Liu Pei laughed, looked at An Zhinan and said, "I also feel that what Mr. Chen said makes people feel comfortable, but for others, I always feel that those brothers have ulterior motives, and the flattery on their faces makes people feel disgusted." , unlike Young Master Chen, who are as forthright as us, and have helped us a lot this time."

An Zhinan bowed his hands to the person who spoke, and then smiled shyly: "This big brother is too famous, I just follow my heart, pretending to be troublesome, sometimes I even believe myself after singing for a long time, That's really not good."

Seriously saying things against his will, only An Zhinan could keep his expression on.

Naturally, his words were approved by several people present, and they praised and praised An Zhinan, making An Zhinan blush.

Still Liu Pei couldn't see it, smiled twice and put his hands on An Zhinan's shoulders, grinning and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, brother, are you embarrassed if you didn't see me? Let's stop today. Let's boast slowly in the future."

"Brother Pei!"

"Haha, brother is wrong, it's okay to be wrong, brother Nan, don't take offense."

An Zhinan:
Gangzi, who went out to exchange bank notes while the few people were talking, ran in with arms folded, rushed to Liu Pei, and stuffed the scattered silver notes in his arms to Liu Pei, looking left and right from time to time.

Liu Pei lightly slapped Gangzi on the forehead, and said angrily: "Look at your good ideas, what are you afraid of? Forgot that you are an official?"

Gangzi chuckled, and said embarrassedly: "Isn't this the first time I've held so much money? I'm afraid of being robbed, so I dare not rest all the way back."

Liu Pei glanced at Gangzi, then handed nine pieces of 100 taels of silver bills to An Zhinan, and put 44 taels of silver in An Zhinan's palm, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Nan, check carefully, if That's right, we've got both money and goods, and I can go back to pay the business."

An Zhinan counted the bank notes one by one in front of several people, then matched the loose bank notes, and finally nodded: "That's right, I'll send it to my friend tomorrow."

Holding nearly a thousand taels of silver in his hand, he could still keep his face unchanged. Liu Pei and the others admired An Zhinan's calmness, and they also had a rough guess about An Zhinan's net worth.

In short, the family background will not be simple.
