Chapter 712 Xiaoqing steals silver

Inside Lin'an City.

Not long after Lingqing left, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing and Wugui also built the Bai Mansion.

The relationship between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian was also heating up, and they began to talk about marriage.

Xu Xian also told his sister Xu Jiaorong and brother-in-law Li Gongfu about Bai Suzhen.

Of course, there is no saying that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing are snake demons.

The couple were overjoyed after hearing this.

Poor Xu Xian is already in his twenties and has never been married, which makes the two of them very anxious.

Now that he heard that he had found a wife, Xu Jiaorong called her parents to bless her.

However, after they were overjoyed, the two had difficulties again regarding Xu Xian's betrothal gift.

Xu Xian was just an apprentice in a medicine shop before, and he didn't have a few taels of silver a month.

Although Li Gongfu worked as a catcher and earned more than Xu Xian, his family's expenses were also high and he also didn't save much money.

Xu Xian learned the art of alchemy from Ling Qing, but he wholeheartedly followed Ling Qing's warning and did not want to take the elixir and sell it for money.

So the family really doesn’t have much savings.

Bai Suzhen was really deeply in love. At this moment, she looked like a lady waiting to be married, without the slightest trace of a thousand-year-old demon spirit.

She told Xu Xian that she wanted him to propose marriage, but he still didn't come, which made her very anxious.

"Xiao Qing, do you think Mr. Xu has changed his mind?" She grabbed Xiao Qing and asked.

Xiaoqing pushed her down on the stool and said: "Oh, sister, you have to give him some time.

This marriage is a major event in life, how can it be so hasty?"

Xiaoqing actually doesn't understand these marriages, they are about love, but she understands that Bai Suzhen's concern leads to chaos.

"It's true, you should be cautious about marriage." Bai Suzhen said with a sigh of relief.

Then he asked worriedly: "But, it's already been a month.

Even if it's not ready, why hasn't Mr. Xu mentioned it these days?"

"That's right." Xiao Qing thought for a moment and said, "In the past few days, Mr. Xu has been hesitant when talking about this matter.

I thought he was shy, so I never thought much about it.

I heard what my sister said today, and there must be something behind this."

Then she comforted Bai Suzhen and said: "Sister, don't worry, I'll go check on the situation."

With that said, he walked away.

"Xiao Qing!" Bai Suzhen called out. Seeing that she had disappeared, she could only sigh: "Oh, she is still so arrogant."

Xiaoqing left Baifu and did not directly go to Xu Xian to ask for details.

Instead, he came to Xu Xian's home to see Xu Jiaorong.

"Miss Qing is here, please come in."

Xu Jiaorong knew that this was the maid of her younger brother's future mother-in-law's family, and she was a sister to Bai Suzhen, so she cordially invited her in.

"Sister, does Mr. Xu fall in love with a girl from another family again?" Xiao Qing was cheerful and asked directly after she and Xu Jiaorong sat down.

"Where did Miss Qing hear this? My Hanwen family is obsessed with White Snake, how could he like a girl from another family?" Xu Jiaorong was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Who are you listening to?"

"Then why has the official refused to marry my wife?" Xiao Qing asked.

"This..." Xu Jiaorong couldn't help but hesitate.

Family scandals should not be made public. Now that the two of them are not married, if White Snake knew that her younger brother could not afford to marry someone else, she would probably be laughed at.

Even if you don’t want to give up Chinese, I’m afraid Hanwen won’t be able to hold your head high even if you get married in the future.

"What is this? Is there any reason you are telling me?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Qing couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that she still hesitated to speak, Xiaoqing slammed the table and said: "Sister, if you guys look down on my wife, we won't hold on to her either.

Let’s make it clear today, should I marry Mr. Xu or not?”

"Miss Qing, what are you talking about? Han Wen can marry White Snake. It's too late for us to try her best. How dare we look down on her?" Seeing this, Xu Jiaorong stood up and stopped her.

Seeing that Xiaoqing refused to give up, she could only say suspiciously: "It's not that we don't want to marry, it's because we're afraid that our simple etiquette will make others laugh."

"It turns out that I'm short of money. I should have told you earlier." Xiao Qing turned from anger to joy and said.

Xu Jiaorong was embarrassed when she heard this, but she also knew that Xiao Qing had a straightforward temper and said this without any malice.

"Sister, don't worry, I will send the money tomorrow, and then you can arrange the wedding." After saying this, Xiaoqing left the Xu Mansion without waiting for Xu Jiaorong to send it.

She wanted to go back and tell Bai Suzhen about this, not because the official Xu had changed her mind, nor because she was unwilling to marry.

It was just because of lack of money and fear of neglecting her that she never dared to propose marriage.

"Oh, we don't have any money either." Xiao Qing was about to leave when he suddenly thought that as monsters, he and Bai Suzhen had no money either.

Even if I told my sister, it would be of no use.

Is it possible that we have to use magic to confuse everyone and organize this wedding?

If that were the case, that monk Jidian would definitely be the first to refuse.

After thinking about it, she couldn't think of any good solution, so she simply called out her five ghosts.

Asked: "Think about it, how can I make a lot of money quickly?"

These five ghosts were all unjust ghosts who died in Bai Mansion. After Xiaoqing surrendered them, they took Bai Suzhen's surname.

The surname Bai is also named after blessing, wealth, longevity, happiness and wealth.

The youngest Bai Cai was worthy of the word "wealth". He rolled his eyes and said, "There are ways to get money quickly, but it just depends on whether Miss Qing is willing to do it?"

"What method?" Xiaoqing asked.

"In Lin'an City, there is both a royal palace and a prefect, as well as many princes.

Every family has a lot of silver, we just need to go to their treasury to get some and keep it enough for the officials," said Bai Cai.

"Bai Cai, don't talk nonsense. How can you teach Miss Qing to do such a thing?" As soon as he finished speaking, the oldest Bai Fu scolded him.

"Hey, Bai Fu, what Bai Cai said is not unreasonable." Xiao Qing's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Miss Qing..."

Bai Fu wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Qing waved his hand to stop him and said: "We are just giving a little to Mr. Xu for emergencies.

Besides, they have so much money in their treasury that they can’t spend it all on a daily basis. What’s the big deal if we just take it?

Okay, hurry up and help me cast the spell, take the silver and send it to Mr. Xu."

Seeing this, Bai Fu had no choice but to agree.

As Xiaoqing pinched the magic formula, the five ghosts turned into five streams of light and disappeared.

After a while, they gathered together again in front of her, but there was a pile of white money among the five ghosts.

Lingqing got this Five Ghost Moving Technique from the Five Ghost King and passed it on to Xiaoqing.

The Five Ghost Kings relied on their Yin soldiers to almost pull the entire Huaiyin Mountain into the Netherworld.

Xiaoqing only used it to carry a little money, which was more than enough.

Seeing Yin Zi, Xiao Qing asked Bai Fu to pack it in a bag, then turned around and came to Xu Mansion again.

Xu Jiaorong didn't know how to tell Xu Xian that Madam Bai already knew that our family was poor and wanted to give me money for the wedding.

Seeing Xiao Qing coming back, I wondered: "Miss Qing, what's wrong?"

"Sister, I'm here with the silver." Xiao Qing said and asked Bai Fu to put the silver on the table and spread it out.

Suddenly, the white money appeared in front of Xu Jiaorong.

She counted the silver and found that there were twenty ingots in total. Each ingot weighed fifty taels, which was exactly one thousand taels of silver.

Surprised: "So many?"

"Sister, are these enough?" Xiao Qing asked.

"Miss Qing, it's better to have less than this," Xu Jiaorong said quickly.

Although she had never seen so much money, she was kind-hearted and naturally refused to accept all the money without conscience.

So he only took out two ingots of fifty taels of silver and said, "These are enough. Miss Qing, please put away the rest."

She doesn't want it either, but she can't marry the white lady without her own brother.

And now, as soon as Xiaoqing heard that his family had no money, he took out a thousand taels of silver without blinking an eye.

This also made her understand that White Snake has a rich fortune and a deep love for her Chinese language.

The two of them will definitely be able to live harmoniously in the future.

Seeing that Xu Jiaorong refused to charge more, Xiaoqing had no choice but to ask Bai Fu to collect the money.
