Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 810 An unexpected fortune from heaven
"This matter is a bit difficult." Shangguan Chu said, "You also know, Third Master, that girl usually doesn't seem to have a bad temper. It really pissed her off, let alone me. Even my grandmother's persuasion was of no use... I, although I have the heart to help you... Of course, it's not for the thirty thousand taels, I just admire the third master as a person, so I sincerely help you. But, but..."

I'm not here for the 30,000 taels, I really want to help, but this matter is difficult to handle - it means that 30,000 taels is not enough.

Ning Xiuyuan understood this, made another gesture, and continued to increase the price by "50,000."

Shangguan Chu suddenly raised his head, and suddenly felt lost. He quickly looked away, raised the hand holding the teacup again, and then pretended to lower his eyes and think about it. In fact, there was nothing else to think about. In his mind, there were cheering little people singing and dancing. ——Fifty thousand! Fifty thousand taels of snowflake silver! Who would turn away the God of Wealth who comes to deliver money?
Anyway, Shangguan Chu is not that kind of fool.

Shutting his eyes, lowering the corners of his mouth, and correcting his expression, Shangguan Chu slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his eyes, and chuckled, "One hundred thousand." He was shouting, excited, and even ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he was embarrassed. Bargaining and bargaining are necessary. At this time, Shangguan Chu seems to have forgotten that once the incident comes to light, the two of them will really be brothers in distress.

Maybe it was more difficult for him than Ning Xiuyuan. After all, he only received money and did nothing, and simply made an "illegal gain".

This time Ning Xiuyuan was not so cheerful. He leaned back on his chair and shook his head leisurely, "Seventy thousand. Besides, there is not even one more copper. If Brother Shangguan still feels embarrassed, then there is really nothing I can do about it." , when the incident comes to light, I will inevitably talk nonsense when I am worried..."

Oops! Are you being threatened? It means that no matter whether you take the money or not, in short, you can't escape the relationship on a boat? Shangguan Chu almost laughed in anger.

So, he really smiled, and the corners of his mouth that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly raised. There was no trace of anger, only the surprise of a windfall, "That's it... deal! Seventy thousand taels... Oh no, there's also a little girl's gift." Pieces of cloud brocade silk, five thousand taels, a total of seventy-five thousand taels, I wonder how many days it will take the third master to deliver it to me?"

At that time, when Ning Xiuyuan said 30,000 taels, he said that it would be settled today, but 70,000 taels is not a small amount after all... Shangguan Chu touched his chin, thinking carefully, and saw Ning Xiuyuan tilted his head and looked at it. Outside, "It's still early now. I'll ask Xi Yu to go to the bank later and deliver it to Brother Shangguan before dinner today. How about that?"

"Today, today?" Even Shangguan Chu was shocked. He just took the 70,000 taels of silver notes at the first glance? Who just keeps so much cash on hand? Moreover... it was only then that Shangguan Chu suddenly remembered that Ning Xiuyuan was a salary earner. Even if Ning Guogong's family had money, it was not in his hands now... Ning Xiuyuan's What he can use now is the "private money" in his hand.

Where did he get so much private money? How many years would it take for him to save up to 70,000 taels if he didn't use his little salary? He tilted his head to look at Ning Xiuyuan, and after a long while, he sighed meaningfully, "It seems that the Third Master of the Ning Mansion is even more... not that simple than I thought... these seventy thousand taels of cash. Just take it, it’s impressive.”

Ning Xiuyuan was modest, smiled, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I have indeed accumulated some wives' books over the years. If not, this little princess of the Ji family... I would not dare to hope for high status."

He only said that he had saved "some", but he took out the 70,000 cash in an understatement. I heard that the little girl's current house also belongs to Ning Xiuyuan, and I guess there are a lot of properties nearby, so this money has a lot of sources. , I guess there are still some dark, clandestine and shady businesses. Come to think of it, Ning Guogong's palace and the court have both hands. How can the Ning family's eldest son really be content with being just a personal minister. Ning Xiuyuan... is worthy of his own little girl.

Shangguan Chu turned the jade in his hand and said with a lazy smile, "Third Master has never thought about it. One day I can't hide this matter. What if my little girl is determined to part ways with you at that time? You are now seven years old." Ten thousand taels...but it was wasted. The money that went into my pocket cannot be withdrawn."

"It doesn't matter." Ning Xiuyuan put down the tea cup, stood up and stroked the folds of his clothes, and said with a lazy smile, which was true and false, "If it really comes to that point, I will chase her to Yunzhou. Stay at the gate of Ji's house. At that time, any strangers or matchmakers who intend to come to propose marriage will be closed and thank you!"

Although he is confident and confident, he is also a bit of a rogue.

"I didn't expect that the dignified Ning Guogong's eldest son, Ning Banxian, who is famous for being untainted by the secular world, and Princess Youxiao, who has been chasing you for many years but has not been able to win, are actually so infatuated. Man." Shangguan Chu sighed with emotion as he shook his head, feeling a little envious for a moment. It's just that this emotion is vague and erratic, arriving suddenly and then disappearing. In the end, only the great joy brought by the 75,000 taels of silver remains.

Ning Xiuyuan just smiled and didn't explain too much, not to mention that feelings are something that cannot be explained clearly. He straightened his clothes and stood up to say goodbye, "There are still errands in the palace. I just took leave and came out. I have to go back now, so I won't chat with Brother Shangguan any more. I will ask Xi Yu to pick up the banknotes."

"Okay. I'll see the third master off." In view of the upcoming huge sum of money, Shangguan Chu's attitude was completely different from before. He sent the person all the way to the door of the private room, and reluctantly watched the God of Wealth off. I went downstairs. Until he could no longer see Ning Xiuyuan, he leaned against the door frame and digested the joy of today's unexpected fortune.

But it didn't take long for the joy to fade away.

The joy and sense of accomplishment that money can bring seem to be less and less. He still likes to do business and bargain with swords and swords, and he will be happy when he has made a relatively difficult deal, but that kind of joy seems to be increasingly difficult to last. Seventy-five thousand taels is not a big deal to him. The money in his hand is enough for the little girl to spend several lifetimes. Today's money seems to be just a small gold brick added to his mountain of gold and silver.

Mountains or mountains, there seems to be no difference.

Shangguan Chu frowned for a long time and sighed slowly, just now... He seemed to be envious of Ning Xiuyuan. But, what exactly are you envious of? Envy Ning Xiuyuan's infatuation? Or...are you envious that he has someone he can be infatuated with?

That day, Qingshan felt that his master was a little weird and nagging, as if he had encountered a business deal that he couldn't agree on.
