win the hairpin

Chapter 331

The old man was kind and kind, stroking his gray beard to the extent that anyone would call him grandfather when he saw him.

Hu Jinyu is shrewd on his face, he is shrewd in his heart, and he will never let anyone see his thoughts.

He asked Song Huiyue like an elder caring for the younger generation: "Is this your first time in Dingzhou? Life in Dingzhou is not easy. Natural disasters and military disasters have never stopped. The world is oppressive, so it's hard for a little girl like you to take risks." .”

Song Huiyue said frankly: "Wealth and wealth are in danger. If I go to sell cooking cakes, I still can't wear a cotton coat."

Old man Hu smiled and said: "That's the truth, I also like little girls who are bold and careful."

After all, he looked at Hu Jinyu and sighed: "If my grandson is half of you, I will be relieved."

Hu Jinyu showed a little dissatisfaction: "I'm not timid, but you refused to let me out."

Old man Hu patted the back of his grandson's hand: "You are good in everything, but there is one thing that is not good. If you are not good at that point, you can only do [-]% of everything, and you can't be perfect."

Then he looked at Song Huiyue: "Little lady, can you guess what's wrong with him?"

Song Huiyue picked up a chopstick and ate the mutton, and replied, "My heart is soft."

"Hey, that's right!" Old man Hu clapped his palms and laughed, and then laughed at Hu Jinyu, "Look, a little girl has seen through you, and you still have something to learn."

Hu Jinyu has pretended to be very shrewd all the year round, and he has not suffered any disadvantages when he is in charge of the underground discussion field. At this time, when Song Huiyue is asked to reveal his weakness, he can't help being surprised, and looks at Song Huiyue with a little more inquiring eyes.

Song Huiyue let him scrutinize, exerting force on the dishes on the table, while eating seriously, she used her spare energy to perfunctory with old man Hu: "Thanks to the soft heart of Xiaodang, I was able to survive."

Old man Hu watched her eat, and when she put down her chopsticks, he said: "Little lady is bold, do you dare to visit Xia Guo?"

Song Huiyue said without changing her face: "I can come to Dingzhou from Kyoto, and I can also go to Xia Kingdom naturally. My two legs are not precious, and the Hu family should be able to invite them, but why do you ask me to go?" This trip?"

Old man Hu stroked his beard: "To be honest, the other party wants to make a face. Although there are many capable people in my family, those who can take charge are already familiar faces in Beidi."

When Song Huiyue heard this, she understood the intention of the Hu family.

The Hu family wanted to find someone with a fresh face to be the principal, and they were everywhere on the street, but it was very difficult to find someone who had no background behind him, who would not disturb the Hu family's opponents, who was courageous and short of money.

She smiled meaningfully at the old man: "Then let's talk about remuneration."

Old man Hu motioned Hu Jinyu to take out the money box, took out a banknote from inside, got up and stroked his sleeves, bent down and placed it in front of Song Huiyue: "This is half, and half will be given after the matter is completed."

This is a silver note of one thousand taels.

Song Huiyue narrowed her eyes, stared at the banknote for a while, and then pushed it back to old man Hu: "Not enough."

Old man Hu was taken aback.

He thought that Song Huiyue would go through fire and water for this thousand taels of silver, but he didn't expect her to refuse so cleanly.

It's not easy for this little lady to refuse so much money without blinking an eye.
But the more difficult it is, the more beneficial it is for the Hu family. It is not an easy thing to complete this trip smoothly.

He asked Hu Jinyu to put away the money box: "The old man is shallow, I don't know how much the young lady wants?"

Song Huiyue replied: "You seven, I three."

As soon as this remark came out, the smile on Old Man Hu's face hesitated. Hu Jinyu cleared his throat, hesitated for a while, and finally remained silent.

"If it doesn't work, you can hire someone else. I'm short of money, but I'm short of too much. It's the same for me as having or not, and it's not enough to impress me."

Then Song Huiyue stood up, took off the cloak and tied it on, straightened the hood, and carried the slingshot on her back at the same time.

Hu Jinyu looked at the heavy purse at her waist, and found that it was not silver, but iron pellets.

"No problem, Sanqi is Sanqi," Old Man Hu suddenly said, stood up eagerly, and asked her to sit down, "The little girl is young, and it's normal for her to have a bigger appetite."

Song Huiyue put down the slingshot and sat down.

Old man Hu signaled Hu Jinyu to pour the wine, and after taking a sip of the wine himself, he briefly explained the ins and outs.

A private salt dealer asked Hu's family to go to Xiaguo to buy green and white salt.

The price of green and white salt is low, only eight yuan a catty, and it is pure and not mixed, while the official salt of the court has been sold for fifty yuan, so buying green and white salt and reselling it is a huge profit.

This time I went to Xia Country, mainly to open up this road and continue this business for a long time.

"This time, we will give you one thousand taels first, and then you will escort the green and white salt for our Hu family, and our Hu family will share you [-]% of the profit."

Hearing the words Qingbaiyan, Song Huiyue was silent for a while, thinking of Zhang Xutang.

The Zhang family once obtained a huge amount of money with green and white salt, and sent all of it to the Palace of King Yan. This time, the private salt dealers took the risk and wanted to buy and sell green and white salt. Could it be that Zhang Xutang was behind it.

He is a person who will use any means to achieve his goals. Now that Zhang Rui died, the capital might have been turned upside down. He wanted to keep King Yan and fight against King Jin. Like her, he wanted a lot of money.

She blinked her eyes calmly: "You two masters, Qingbaiyan——you're a traitor."

After hearing her almost cute words, old man Hu couldn't help laughing: "How old is the little lady?"

"Seventeen." Song Huiyue replied.

Old man Hu smiled kindly: "When I was your age, there were many things I couldn't understand. Only when I lived to this age did I realize that people in this world are different. There are noble people and there are despicable people." There are people who die for the country, and there are people who seek profit and betray the country. We are despicable, shameless and hateful people, but we are not bad people."

He looked at Hu Jinyu: "It is said that green and white salt is not good for the country, but it is beneficial to the people. The rich merchants use the salt to lure them so hard that the common people have reached the point where they can't even eat salt. The green and white salt can be sold for [-] yuan at most, and the common people can eat it." Shangyan, what we have done, isn’t it considered a bad thing?”

"The head of the family," Song Huiyue took a sip of wine, her eyes were dark, and she had another thought in an instant, blinking her eyes and said, "When are you leaving?"

"Fifteenth of this month."

The three of them discussed other details in the room, and after the agreement was completed, Song Huiyue got up and left immediately.

Hu Jinyu followed her in a hurry and sent her to the door: "It's inconvenient to travel far away, you can come to me if you need something."

"Thank you." Song Hui raised his leg and walked away. Yin Xiao walked out from the darkness, walked up to the four gatekeepers, and then looked at Song Huiyue from afar.

His eyes swept over Hu Jinyu, and Hu Jinyu immediately felt that he was the prey being targeted by a beast. Fortunately, this feeling was fleeting, and Yin Xiao's eyes fell on Song Huiyue.

Hu Jinyu watched his eyes become docile suddenly after touching Song Huiyue, and she was amazed in her heart.

When Song Huiyue came to Yin Xiao's side, Yin Xiao reached out to take the slingshot, lowered his head, and followed her by half a step, leaving in her footsteps.
