Fake eunuch in the palace

Chapter 872 Counting the Silver

"Miss Lin, no abnormalities have been found within thirty miles to the southeast."

Lin Su frowned. She had been in Ningyang for seven days. She had asked secret guards to explore the places where Liang Meng might be hiding, but found nothing.

Isn't it in this piece?
The west of the city is full of merchants and wine shops, could it be that?

Lin Shu frowned and thought deeply, if that was the case, it would be really hard to find out.

There is a mix of people, all of them are very private, and most importantly, the people who live there are not stable, and replacement is a common thing.

"Look to the west of the city." Lin Shu opened her red lips lightly. She didn't have any clues, so she could only conduct a comprehensive search.

"Chao'er."

As soon as he entered the door, Father Sheng shouted.

Hearing the sound, Li Chao stuck his little head out.

"Look what I brought you today." Father Sheng picked up Li Chao and motioned to his servants to open the box.

"The business taxes collected today have not yet been put into the treasury. You have been listless these days, counting your money and keeping your spirits high."

In the Sheng family, when Sheng's father coaxes his children, he often throws a box of money over and asks him to count it.

If the number is correct, let him grab a handful.

The piles of gold and silver notes instantly made Li Chao's eyes sparkle with gold.

He got off Father Sheng and rushed towards him at a trot.

Father Sheng was very satisfied with this state. He looked more and more like a child of his Sheng family!
So heavy!Grasping the silver ingot larger than his palm, Li Chao smiled.

After playing with it for a while, Li Chao began to classify the silver bills, putting one taels together with one taels, and putting five taels together with five taels.

Father Sheng was making tea and watching Li Chao play happily.

Wiping the sweat from his face, Li Chao got into the big box again and grabbed the banknotes, placed them at his feet, spread them out one by one, and then classified them into the category they belonged to.

"what!"

"There's actually a gold ingot on it!"

Li Chao picked up a banknote on the ground. After looking at it carefully, he took off the purse from his waist and said, "They really look the same."

After muttering something, Li Chao put the banknotes into the fifty pile.

After all the silver was sorted, Li Chao sat on the ground and counted it. After he counted how many, Li Chao wrote it down on the paper.

Li Yi taught Li Chao to memorize the multiplication table. Li Chao could do simple and not difficult multiplication.

As for the slightly complicated ones, Li Chao was smart enough to divide them into multiples of ten, and then add up the answers one by one.

After two hours of calculation, Li Chao wiped his face and ran towards Father Sheng excitedly.

"A total of fifty-five thousand three hundred and ten taels."

There was something strange in Father Sheng's eyes. He pushed the book aside and picked up Li Chao, whose face was covered in ink. "Chao'er, please tell me the answer again."

"Fifty-five thousand 310 one tael."

Father Sheng took out one of the brochures and turned to the second page. The amount on it was exactly what Li Chao said.

"Chao'er, you are such a surprise!" Father Sheng kissed Li Chao hard on the face.

"One day I will take you to Suizhou to meet your Aunt Yun, and let the child in her belly have the root of wisdom."

Father Sheng held Li Chao high and laughed loudly.

"Go and grab a handful. Let's go to the temple fair at Xiangling Temple in two days."

Father Sheng carried Li Chao to the banknote.

Li Chao looked at Father Sheng. After thinking briefly, he found the 50-tael banknote and asked Father Sheng, "Can I take this?"

"Of course." Father Sheng tapped Li Chao's nose, fished it out with his big hand, and stuffed the full amount of silver ingots into his arms.

"Pack up."

After leaving a few words, Sheng's father hugged Li Chao and went to play.

The servants counted the money, replenished it, packed it into boxes, affixed seals, and sent them to the inspection department of the Ministry of Household Affairs for storage. "Teacher, look, Grandpa Sheng is much more generous than you." Li Chao showed off his big silver ingot to Mr. Tang.

Then Mr. Tang kept it on his behalf because he couldn't hold it in his luggage.

Looking at his empty hands, Li Chao screamed and ran out.

Seeing that there was no one around, he took out the 50-tael banknote from his wallet and chuckled, "Why don't you let me hide one."

Two days passed by and Li Chao was sitting under the tree, counting leaves. He couldn't go out. It was really boring.

Aunt Sui is doing something outrageous, and she still hasn't returned the secret guard to him after so many days.

"Little boy."

The only remaining guard found Li Chao, "Want to go out for a walk?"

"Ms. Lin has deeply reflected on her behavior and said she wanted to apologize to you."

Li Chao raised his eyebrows with suspicion on his face, "How much benefit did you receive to actually help her tell lies?"

The guard couldn't help laughing, "How could that be possible? Miss Lin booked a table at Wangchun Tower. The roast duck there is delicious."

"Children under five years old also get free Luban collars. Young Master, Miss Lin is sincere this time."

Li Chao glanced at the guard and touched his chin, "I'll call for help when the time comes. Remember to rush in."

After repeated explanations, Li Chao followed the guards out of the door.

"coming."

As soon as Li Chao came in, he was warmly received by Lin Shu, "Have a try. They are all ordered according to your preference."

Li Chao glanced at Lin Shu, "Tell me the truth, is there any medicine in the food?"

"How can you have such a narrow-minded mind at such a young age?" Lin Shu poked Li Chao's face and put a mouthful of duck meat into her mouth.

Then he ignored Li Chao and started eating by himself.

"No, leave some for me!"

Seeing Lin Shu enjoying the meal, Li Chao couldn't sit still, stood up, and pulled the last piece of duck meat into his bowl.

Lin Shu chuckled, really grabbing the talent.

After finishing the meal, Lin Shu took Li Chao into her arms and said, "Chao'er, you've eaten my food, so it's not too much to let me squeeze it, right?"

Lin Shu didn't wait for Li Chao's consent, so he rubbed his face. Things were making no progress. Lin Shu was getting anxious. Why don't he ask Li Chao out to relax and clear his mind.

He also expressed his aunt's love for her nephew.

"Help!"

Li Chao spoke vaguely, and he knew that Lin Shu had no good intentions! ! !

He must find her a mighty husband and pinch her three times a day! ! !
"This kid's face is so tender."

After getting over her hand addiction, Lin Shu sighed with satisfaction.

Li Chao looked at her angrily and rolled his eyes. He tore off his wallet, took out the 50-tael banknote, slammed it on the table, and then rushed towards Lin Shu and pinched her face.

Lin Shu grabbed Li Chao and easily immobilized him.

"How many meals can you eat with 50 taels? Why can you pinch it, but I can't!" Li Chao shouted, "You are just bullying the small!"

"Just wait, I will definitely tell the queen mother and let her take care of you!"

"Hey." Lin Shu smiled, "It's a pity that your mother is not in Ningyang."

"Little guy, save your energy." Lin Shu took Li Chao's little hand and kneaded it.

"This life is never going to be smooth sailing, right?" Lin Shu comforted Li Chao while squeezing.

"I remember you only get five taels of silver every month. Where did you get these 50 taels?"

Seeing the banknotes on the table, Lin Shu asked casually.
