Making Money

Si Qing nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, remember to send him a letter home to urge him, but don't let him live too comfortably outside and delay his studies."

At this time, Si Jinsong, who was sitting by the window and reading a hundred miles away, suddenly sneezed and shivered all over.

He rubbed his nose and said a little puzzled: "Strange, could it be that I caught a cold?"

After muttering something, he lowered his head and continued reading.

Si Qing took Si Zhengping around the market and bought some candy and silk flowers to take back and distribute to the children in the village.

Then we walked around the street again and bought some snacks. After a long walk, my stomach was bulging, and most of the day passed.

Seeing that it was time for dinner again, Si Qing took Si Zhengping back to the inn. Seeing that Xiao He and the others hadn't come back yet, they went out to have dinner first.

After wandering around for a while, it was already getting dark when we returned to the inn.

Xiao He and his family finally returned to the inn. As soon as they entered the door, they couldn't wait to tell Si Qing about today's pick-up process.

At the end, he said excitedly: "Auntie, you don't know that after we picked up the feathers, Magistrate Zhao was so excited when he saw the peacock that he asked us to pay each of us fifty taels of silver on the spot!"

As they spoke, the three of them quickly took out the silver in their arms, six large silver ingots worth twenty taels, and three small silver ingots worth ten taels.

Si Zhengping, who had been listening to them all the time and had a very calm attitude, suddenly lost his composure when he saw the round silver ingots.

"Oh my god, so much money!"

Si Zhengping reached out and touched the big silver ingot and couldn't help grinning.

"Auntie, I thought the fifty taels you and Mr. Xing said last time were for three people, but I didn't expect that the county magistrate would give fifty taels to one person, which adds up to 150 taels.

!”

"No, when Magistrate Zhao sent someone to give us the money, we were all shocked. We thought he had taken it by mistake. Finally we found out that my aunt had made an agreement with Magistrate Zhao, fifty taels of silver per person.

"

Xiao He almost started dancing with excitement after taking the words.

Mrs. Li and Liu Qiaoniang were also laughing from ear to ear.

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to my aunt. In my opinion, we should give each of our aunts twenty taels. If it weren't for my aunt, let alone making money, we might never see so much money in this life!"

As Li said that, he directly put a twenty-tael silver ingot into Si Qing's arms.

Upon seeing this, Liu Qiaoniang of the Xiao He family immediately took out twenty taels from her share and stuffed it into Si Qing's arms.

Si Qing hurriedly stepped aside and waved his little hand: "This money is your hard-earned money, just take it and don't give it to me."

"Haha... Auntie, just take it. If it weren't for you, no matter how hard they work, they wouldn't have such an opportunity. Auntie, you deserve this." Si Zhengping smiled and touched his beard, and persuaded Si Qing.

Take the money.

However, Si Qing still confiscated it.

This money was earned by Xiao He and the others after working so hard for so long, so there was no need for her to divide it.

Of course, the main reason for this is that she made a lot of money. Selling peacock feathers allowed her to earn a total of thirty-one thousand taels in silver notes. The dozens of taels earned by Xiao He and the others were not worth it in the eyes of Si Qing.

Mention.

Si Qing asked the three of them to collect their money and quickly go down to rest.

After picking up peacock feathers all day long, the eyes of Xiao He and the other three people were all red, and their brows and eyes were full of fatigue. They were able to survive until now only because they got the money, and they were too excited.

At this time, I shared my joy with Secretary Qing. Everyone was indeed very sleepy, and everyone was ready to go back to the next room to have a good rest.
