Xiaolian stepped forward and opened a box casually.
The square box was piled full of silver, and the flickering light blinded shopkeeper Hu and the boy.
Before the two of them could recover, Xiaolian opened another box.
As the boxes were opened one by one, shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou's eyes became more shocked.
"These—" Shopkeeper Hu breathed quickly, and the hand he extended seemed not to be his, "are these boxes filled with silver?"
Xin You nodded with a smile.
The old shopkeeper grabbed Xin You's sleeve and said sadly, "Boss, we can't do anything illegal!"
With Dong’s ability to make money, it’s enough to be down-to-earth!
Xiaolian chuckled: "What did the shopkeeper say? This is our girl's money."
"The boss's money?" Shopkeeper Hu looked at Xin You blankly.
Seeing that the old shopkeeper was frightened, Xin You said with a smile: "Well, it is the wealth of my Kou family. I brought it to Shaoqing's mansion when I came to Beijing. Now that I have grown up, I asked my grandmother to get some back."
"Some..." Liu Zhou lifted his chin.
This is a small silver mountain, the boss calls it something!
"Shopkeeper, Liu Zhou, I'd like you two to check it out."
Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou looked at each other and walked into the "Silver Mountain" in a daze.
"Girl, Shitou came to say that Lord He is looking for you." Jiang Shuang came to report.
Xinyou guessed that Master He must be here for the reward, so he walked forward.
Although He Qingxiao's heart was greatly affected by the six thousand taels, his face still looked calm. When Xin You came in, what he saw was a young man with a figure as tall as Yang, silently in a trance.
He Qingxiao turned around when he heard the footsteps. Because there was a stone, he asked, "Is it convenient for Miss Kou to talk?"
Xin You took him into the reception room, poured tea and asked with a smile, "Master He has come back, what's the matter?"
He Qingxiao took out the small box and placed it in front of Xin You.
"I never thought that Miss Kou's reward would be six thousand taels. I really can't accept such a large amount of money."
"Why can't you accept it? Didn't you agree to pay a hundred dollars to Master He?" Xin You tilted her head slightly, full of confusion.
"But Baiyi——"
How could one hundred and one be six thousand taels!
"One hundred and one is exactly six thousand taels. The money I got this time is six hundred thousand." Xin You said calmly.
He Qingxiao: "..." So it's not that Miss Kou deliberately gave more, but she got 600,000 taels!
After taking a while to calm down, He Qingxiao looked at Xin You with complicated eyes: "Six thousand taels is indeed too much. I just walked around with Miss Kou. I deserve it. Please take it back, Miss Kou."
Xin You pushed the small box back: "In my opinion, six thousand taels is not much at all. I used Master He's reputation to scare Xiao Xiao, isn't it worth six thousand taels?"
He Qingxiao twitched the corner of his mouth as he listened.
He went to both banks without revealing his identity. Duan Shaoqing was the only one who knew that he was the envoy of Jinlin Guard Town. It was very obvious who the "Xiao Xiao" in Miss Kou's mouth was.
Miss Kou is really forthright when she refers to her uncle as "Xiao Xiao". You must know that trapped by ethics and education, many people in the position of nephews and nephews do not dare to say anything wrong to their elders in front of outsiders, even if they have been greatly wronged.
Perhaps he understood from the time he was sensible that he was born with invisible shackles, and He Qingxiao admires free and easy people.
"Miss Kou——"
Seeing that He Qingxiao refused, Xin You's face tightened: "Master He, do you want me to be someone who breaks my word?"
"But--"
"Does Mr. He think that my integrity is not worth six thousand taels?"
He Qingxiao was speechless.
Xin You thrust the small box into his hand and said with a smile, "Master He, if you think it's more than expected, can you do one more thing for me?"
He Qingxiao stared at the small box for a moment and compromised.
If you continue to refuse, Miss Kou will become angry.
Miss Kou was angry with him for being so shameless
Despite being paid six thousand taels, he still chose the latter.
"Miss Kou, please tell me."
Xin You handed over the list she compiled after returning to the east courtyard of the bookstore: "I would like to ask Mr. He to help me check the shops on this list to see if there are any problems."
There was no way she would let them take back what Shaoqing's Mansion vomited up. Whether these dozen shops are worth 150,000 taels or not is not something Duan Shaoqing can decide with his mouth.
However, these shops are located all over the place and have different business directions. It would be too time-consuming for her to investigate slowly. Since Mr. He felt that six thousand taels was more than enough, he would just do something for her. This would put Mr. He at ease and save her trouble.
He Qingxiao took the list and glanced at it: "These shops -"
"It's all mine."
He Qingxiao shook the hand holding the list and was speechless for a long time.
"Master He?"
"Oh, okay. When will Miss Kou get the results?"
"Don't worry, it will be done within the year."
It’s not long before the Chinese New Year.
After He Qingxiao left, Xin You returned to the east courtyard.
Jiang Shuang was guarding the door. Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou were lost in the silver mountain. Xiao Lian was helping, and Grandma Fang——
Xin You saw Grandma Fang wiping her tears.
"Why are you crying?" She walked over and asked.
Aunt Fang wiped her eyes and said excitedly: "I am happy, happy..."
When she was driven to Zhuangzi by the Shaoqing Mansion, she never dreamed that she would be able to live like this.
"Madam, how happy she would be if she knew." Tears welled up in Nanny Fang's eyes again.
For the wife, it is a blessing for the girl to grow up safely and get a decent dowry.
Grandma Fang felt sad when she thought of Kou's mother on the hospital bed, who was caring for her alone. She put her hands together and murmured: "Madam, the girl has grown up now and is promising, so don't worry..."
Xin You turned away and secretly had red circles under her eyes.
In the evening of this day, shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou supported each other to go to the west courtyard for dinner.
The West Courtyard is connected to the Bookstore by a door, and most people in the Bookshop eat and sleep in the West Courtyard.
"Shopkeeper, you look very tired. Are you busy again?" Manager Zhao asked in confusion.
Although the popularity of "Painted Skin" is still there, it has not been reprinted, and Mr. Songling's new book has not yet been released. During this period, the bookstore's business has been smooth and steady, and it is not considered busy.
Shopkeeper Hu didn't even have the strength to wave his hand: "Stop asking, let's eat."
When the big white steamed buns were served, shopkeeper Hu suddenly thought of the silver ingot, and Kuai Zi lost his grip and dropped it on the table.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?"
Shopkeeper Hu took a deep look at Manager Zhao and suddenly asked: "Brother Zhao, have you ever seen Yin Zi be afraid?"
Manager Zhao was stunned for a moment and reached out to touch Shopkeeper Hu's forehead.
It's over, it's over, Lao Hu seems to be stupid!
Under the candlelight in the east courtyard room, Xin You called Xiao Lian to come closer.
"What are your orders, girl?" Until this moment, Xiaolian's eyes were still bright with excitement.
Xin You turned over his hand and placed two small seals on the table.
"These two small stamps, one from Jinsheng Bank and the other from Baoan Bank, can withdraw a total of 400,000 taels of silver."
Xiaolian was completely confused. She didn't know why Xinyou was telling her this.
