Chapter 46

hey-hey!In order to please his second sister, the third son of the Ke family asked his followers to come back to buy the method of making Lantern Festival!
This is to win the favor of the sweetheart. If you say seventy taels of silver, it is seven hundred taels of silver. Mr. Ke San should throw a thousand pieces of gold at once!

As for why Jia Silian raised the price...

hey-hey!Mou Xiujuan... who made you feel different? Let me tell you, if you don't embarrass your fiancé at this time, when will you wait?
Besides... Jia Silian is my friend, I want her to earn some money, what's the matter?
Young Master, I am righteous!
Young Master Mou Ba hummed a few times as a matter of course, watched Jia Silian go back with satisfaction and said to the entourage,

"If you want to buy it, you can... seven... seventy taels of silver!"

"What... what..."

Ke Fu's attendants stared wide-eyed, this... this little girl really dares to say it!
Jia Silian was already guilty, but when he stared at her, she felt even more guilty, she shrank her head, and her voice became much softer.
"Seven...seventy taels of silver..."

Ke Fu's entourage had a look of disbelief,

"You...you are crazy!"

But for a mere bowl of Lantern Festival, if you dare to ask for seventy taels of silver, you...you are poor and crazy!
The attendants of the Ke Mansion believed that Jia Silian was ruthless and had very long fingernails, so he got up angrily and said,
"It's just a way to make Yuanxiao, you want seventy taels, you...why don't you grab it..."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave. Jia Silian and Mou Biao didn't guard against him, and they didn't know how to deal with him. They could only watch him leave angrily. Jia Silian turned her face in a daze and looked at the banyan Mou Biao at the back, Mou Biao was surprised at first, then a little embarrassed, deeply felt that he had lost face in front of his friends,
"Hey... this Ke San is too stingy, he can't even give me seventy taels of silver, how can he please his fiancée, he is really stingy!"

Mr. Mou Ba is angry, but in fact he has wronged Mr. Ke San. The Ke family is indeed a scholarly family, and the family also has some property, but it is not in the hands of Mr. Ke San. The Ke family is not comparable to the Mou family, and the Mou family is insignificant. When you get up, once you get rich, you will inevitably show off, and the discipline for your descendants is not as strict as that of the Ke family, and Mou Biao is the most favored. With Mu Bin secretly stuffing money from time to time, his own small treasury can easily take out hundreds of dollars. Two taels of silver, but Mr. Ke San can't do it. This is a poor scholar. It is good to rely on the family's rich clothes and jade food every month, but the cash in his hand can be a hundred and eighty taels of silver, which is already the sky. !
Therefore, Mr. Ke San couldn't use all his wealth to buy a way to make Lantern Festival, and he didn't have the arrogance of Mr. Mou Ba to throw a lot of money. In Mou Biao's eyes, he is stingy and stingy!
Mou Biao felt extremely guilty towards Jia Silian, patted his chest and said to her,
"Don't worry... I will give you back the seventy taels of silver you lost!"

Jia Silian smiled and shook her head,

"It's okay, it's okay... I didn't really want to sell it!"

Jia Silian knew that Mou Biao had good intentions, so how could she blame him!

The more she didn't care about it, the more guilty Mou Biao felt, but he didn't bring that much silver with him when he came out. He secretly made up his mind that he would bring a bank note to find her tomorrow, and he must give her back seventy taels of silver.

While the two were talking, Ni Dongxiu and Wen Zifeng came over, and when they saw this Lantern Festival stall, they sat down and shouted,
"Xiao Lin, you made it easy for us to find..."

The other answered,

"We killed seven in and seven out in the hall, but we didn't find you. You're all sweating!"

Mou Biao beckoned Jia Silian to serve a bowl of Yuanxiao for the two of them. The two of them took a bite and nodded in praise. Mou Biao was very pleased with what he heard, and he grinned. After the two of them had finished eating the Yuanxiao, Mou Biao continued as before. Asking Jia Silian to accept the copper coin, she turned to the other side to watch the jugglers from overseas.

After Jia Silian watched the few people leave, she began to count the stock in her burden, and found that there were still more than a dozen bowls of Lantern Festival, which were all bought by Mr. Mou with money. She couldn't sell it to others, so she thought about keeping it for him. Then, after he came back from watching the juggling, he handed it over to the boy who accompanied him to take him home.

So she started to clean up the bowls and spoons, took the well water to wash on the spot, and someone walked over slowly,
"Excuse me, is there still Lantern Festival?"

Jia Silian looked up and saw two women, the one on the left was dressed gorgeously, with a veiled cap on her head, she couldn't see her face clearly, but the crystal clear jade bracelet in her hand was very conspicuous, and the other woman was a girl Dressed up, with a round face, the clothes on her body are not ordinary, she should be a girl from the official family.

It was the round-faced girl who asked the question, Jia Silian smiled apologetically at her,

"I'm sorry, guest officer... the stall has been closed!"

The round-faced girl was a little disappointed, but the young lady at the side asked,
"Did a man and a woman eat Lantern Festival with you just now?"

Jia Silian was a little dazed, there were too many men and women eating Yuanxiao at her stall today, she didn't know who this young lady was referring to, the young lady seemed to see her doubts, thought for a while and replied,

"One lady is wearing a yellow dress and a yellow dress, and the other son is very handsome and gentle..."

"Oh……"

Jia Silian suddenly realized that she was talking about those two!

Now nodded and said,
"It is true that I ate Yuanxiao here..."

Could it be that this young lady knew those two people and came to look for them?
The lady asked again,
"It seems that the young master's entourage just came back. What is he doing?"

"This……"

Jia Silian was puzzled, she didn't know why the young lady asked why, seeing that she refused to say anything, the young lady reached into her sleeve and touched it, and took out some copper coins for her.
"To tell you the truth, the woman who eats the Lantern Festival is my younger sister. I just want to ask the young master what he wants to do when he sent his followers back?"

Jia Silian thought for a while, wanted to take back the copper plate and said,

"The young lady said my Lantern Festival was delicious, so the young master sent his followers over to buy a way to make Lantern Festival..."

"Oh...you sold it to him?"

Jia Silian shook her head,
"No……"

"Why?"

Jia Silian replied,
"That follower thinks my asking price is too high..."

"How much did you ask for?"

"Seven...seventy taels of silver!"

"Seventy taels of silver!"

The girl let out an exclamation, and looked her up and down with wide-eyed eyes.
"I said you little lady, you don't look very old, why are you so greedy, but it's just a way to make Yuanxiao, you can live comfortably for a year if you want a few taels of silver, seventy taels of silver... you want Do you want to earn all the money for the rest of your life at once?"

Are you planning to dig out a golden doll with a hoe?

Jia Silian smiled awkwardly, didn't say much, lowered her head and continued to wash the dishes, she certainly wouldn't explain the reason to strangers casually.

The lady stood there and thought for a while, then asked her again,
"Do you usually sell Yuanxiao here?"

Jia Silian shook her head,
"I just set up a stall here during the Lantern Festival, and sell noodles elsewhere on weekdays..."

"Oh...where do you sell noodles?"

"In Yanghua Hutong, Jia's noodle stall..."

The lady didn't ask any more questions after listening, and turned around and left with the girl.

After Jia Silian washed the dishes, Mou Hu came back. Jia Silian packed all the cooked Lantern Festival in a small jar and handed it to Mou Hu.
"Take it home and warm it up. Although the taste is not as good as it is now, it can still be eaten..."

Mou Hu took it happily, and spread the word for his young master,

"Our young master said, it's getting late, you should go home quickly..."

After all, he leaned over and handed her a badge,
"This is the badge our young master took from the mansion. All the guards patrolling the streets in the city know it. If you encounter danger all the way back, show this badge to the guards patrolling the streets. They will protect you... ..."

Jia Silian took the waist card carefully, and saw that it was dark and the size of a palm. On one side was the word "Mou", and on the other side was a picture of a beast head with teeth and claws. It was heavy in the hand, and I don't know what material it was made of. .

She hesitated,
"What if such a valuable thing is lost?"

Mou Hu replied,

"Just put it away, and take it out when something happens. If nothing happens, our young master will go to your stall to pick it up tomorrow..."

Jia Silian nodded, and hurriedly put the badge away, she just felt that this thing was more important than the heavy purse on her waist, if someone really wanted to rob the money at that time, even if the purse was taken away, the badge would not be lost!

If Mou Biao, who is kind enough to help her, finds out about her thinking like this, she will stomp her feet angrily and call her for ruining her own feelings!

Jia Silian watched Mou Hu leave, packed up her things and left, walked through the streets and alleys, but did not meet any villains, today is the Lantern Festival, the city is brightly lit all night, people come and go, and there are five cities Bingmasi, Shuntianfu Yamen, and Jinyiwei sent people to patrol the streets, and it was very safe.

When Jia Silian returned home, it was almost two o'clock. San Lian went home one step earlier than her, and was worried that her fourth sister would return home late. Did something happen?
Seeing Silian push the door and enter, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Why is it so late?"

Jia Silian laughed and said,
"There are too many people on the street today, walking is blocked..."

As soon as the two sisters said a word, Xiang Shi shouted in the back room,
"The dead girl is back, and she hasn't come in yet..."

Jia Silian handed over the burden to San Lian who stretched out her hand, took the purse from her waist as she walked, and went in. The lamp was lit in the inner room, and Xiang Shi was trying not to sleep until she came back, but Jia Jincheng fell asleep first. ,
"mother……"

Xiang stared at her and said,

"Damn girl, how many coins did you sell today?"

Jia Silian opened the money bag in her hand, poured it on the table,
"Crash..."

The copper plates on the table were scattered, Xiang Shi was overjoyed when he saw it, and got out of bed to count the copper coins. The sound of jingling woke up Jia Jincheng. Jia Jincheng sat up and asked Si Lian,
"What time is it?"

"Second watch... Dad..."

Jia Jincheng frowned when he heard this, and said to Xiang Shi,

"It's so late, why are you still counting copper coins? I'll count tomorrow!"

When Xiangshi saw Tongbaner, his eyes lit up, and he swept away the yawning and exhausted face in front of him,

"Master, there are so many copper coins, you have to count them, and I will hide them today..."

If you don't hide it, who knows if these cheap hoofs will secretly take it to buy candy?
