Suo'etu smiled and said: "The total listed on the list is 2,353,418 taels. The fraction remains the same. We erase the word '一' and the trick changes. It became 1,353,418 taels. Of the one million taels, we took out 50,000 taels and divided them among the people below. Everyone who works here will get some benefits. With another 50,000 taels, the concubines in the palace and the eunuchs in charge each have some sweeteners. The remaining 900,000 taels will be divided equally between the three of us, each of us 300,000 taels. If the two father-in-laws think it is too little, we are considering it. Plan."
Xiang Yan had never managed money and didn't know how much three hundred thousand taels was, but Wei Xiaobao's expression changed. Suo'etu said hurriedly: "Whatever the two father-in-laws want to do, I will listen to their opinions." Xiang Yan knew that Wei Xiaobao would not refuse, so he hurriedly said: "Master Suo, you can make the decision." Wei Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief. , said: "I said that everything is decided by Mr. Suo, but giving me three hundred thousand...three hundred thousand taels of silver is too...too...too much."
Suo'etu laughed loudly and said: "Not much, not much, not much at all. Even with this one million taels of silver, Obai's family doesn't have that much cash. We have to sell off his property as soon as possible, and do everything in a hurry. Clean your feet and don't let others take advantage of you. With the two father-in-laws in the palace, there is no place to store so many gold and silver ingots, right?" Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan both said: "Yes!"
Suo'etu smiled and said: "After a few days, I asked several gold shops to buy some gold and silver tickets. They were all 100 taels each and 50 taels each. The two father-in-laws kept them beside me. When will To make it, just go to the gold shop and exchange it for gold and silver. It is convenient and safe. Unless someone comes to touch the pockets of the two father-in-laws, no one would know that the two father-in-laws, at such a young age, can actually become the richest man in Beijing. Rich man. Well, haha, haha." Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan both followed suit and hit a few haha.
Suo'etu added: "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have specified that they want this Buddhist scripture. This is a top priority, so we will send it to you first. It won't be too late to take care of Obai's family property." Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan both nodded in agreement. . Suo'etu immediately took a piece of brocade, wrapped the jade box and held it, and went to the palace to see Kangxi.
Along the way, Xiang Yan was full of doubts: "Why didn't Suo'etu say he wanted to sworn sworn friends with us? Didn't he invite us to his house to listen to the play?" Then he thought again: "There are only two people in the original work, him and Wei Xiaobao, how will he film it?" It doesn’t matter whether Wei Xiaobao or Wei Xiaobao does anything. But now that I’m here, he can’t figure out the relationship between me and Wei Xiaobao, and he’s worried that flattering him will end up in the horse’s lap, which is not beautiful.”
Kangxi was very pleased to see that they had completed the errand assigned by the Empress Dowager, so he asked Wei Xiaobao to follow him and personally deliver them to the Empress Dowager's palace. After Suo'etu and Xiang Yan retired, they went to clean up Obai's property. The two came to Aobai's house again, and Suo'etu's subordinate handed Suo'etu a package. Suo'etu took the package, entered the house, and opened the package. It turned out that there was a dagger and a piece of clothing inside.
Suo'etu said: "To my father-in-law, the sword and the treasured clothes taken from Obai's house belong to Eunuch Gui. I also have swords and clothes in my house. Although they are not as good as those in Aobai's house, they are still passable, so I will give them to you. I gave it to you." Xiang Yan said hurriedly: "Oh, Mr. Suo, why are you so embarrassed? We can just take Oboi's things, how can we let you spend money?"
Suo'etu said: "I am a civil servant now, so I have no use for the sword or the treasured clothes. If they are left in my house, they will just eat dust. Eunuch Xiang is a person close to the emperor. He needs to protect the emperor, so this is exactly what he needs." Xiang Yan took advantage of the situation. He took the package and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Suo." Suo'etu smiled and said, "What should I say to my father-in-law? We are all our own people, why should we be so polite?"
After returning to the palace, Wei Xiaobao was already waiting in the room and said to Xiang Yan: "Xiao Yan, come here and try it. These are the candies rewarded by the Queen Mother." There was a carton and a plate on the table, containing more than a dozen kinds of candied fruits. , candies and cakes, the two together are only one box, why divide it into two parts?
Wei Xiaobao sighed again: "Master Suo said that we found the scriptures and completed the errand assigned by the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager would definitely reward us. I have been eagerly looking forward to it for a long time. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager rewarded me with a box of candies. Alas... ..." Xiang Yan chuckled, took a piece of fruit from the plate and put it into his mouth, and said, "How do you divide the candy into two parts? Do you still want to save it for midnight snack?" Wei Xiaobao said, "Me and the person who brought me candy The young lady has made an appointment. After she finishes serving the Queen Mother, we will go to the garden to eat sweets together. Xiaoyan, do you want to go? "
Xiang Yan shook his head with a smile and said: "She asked you on an appointment, what should I do? Xiaobao, take out your sword and have a look." He opened the package, took out the treasured clothes, and took out the dagger from the boot. , said: "These are the treasured clothes and swords from Mr. Suo's mansion. He gave them to me. Try them with your dagger to see how good they are." Wei Xiaobao took out the dagger and said, "Okay."
Xiang Yan first scratched his clothes with a dagger, but there were no traces on his clothes. Wei Xiaobao slashed with a dagger, and a cut was made on his sleeve. Xiang Yan used the dagger to try ordinary iron tools and it could be cut. Xiang Yan nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiang Yan: "Although my treasured clothes and sword are not as good as yours, they are still rare and good things. It seems that Mr. Suo has also spent a lot of money. I just don't know that he Why did you give me the treasured clothes and sword?" Wei Xiaobao chuckled and said, "If he doesn't feed you well, and if you reveal something in front of the emperor, not only will his three hundred thousand taels of silver be in vain, but his future will also be ruined. destroy."
