It was a light green package, about the size of two palms. The package was so tight that just from the appearance, there was no clue as to what was inside.【】
The old woman strangely stretched out her hand to pick up the package. Unexpectedly, this small package was quite heavy. As soon as she took it in her hand, there was a small crashing sound. The old woman was slightly startled. She took the package and sat down sideways on the bed.
The package was placed on his lap and he opened it carefully.
A piece of silver light suddenly flashed across their eyes.
The old woman and Old Man Hu were stunned, looking blankly at the contents of the package. For a moment, they forgot what to do. The pipe in Old Man Hu's hand even lost its grip and fell to the ground with a slight sound.
There were not many things in the package, four or five candles, a small envelope, and other than that, it was all broken pieces of silver!
The old man Hu and the old woman were stunned by the big handful of silver light, and even their breathing could not help but become heavier.
The two old men had been poor all their lives and had never seen so much money. It was so full that they couldn't even estimate how much it was.
"This..." The old woman raised her head blankly and looked at her wife: "This is..."
Old man Hu was more cautious. He reacted first and closed the package. He looked around cautiously, stuffed the package into his wife's arms, walked out and closed the door, walked in and closed the door again. His face was expressionless.
Weirdly: "Ye Qing's letter."
In the casual chat last night, Old Man Hu accidentally mentioned that he could read. Unexpectedly, Ye Qing actually remembered it like this.
The old woman's hands were shaking a little as she took out the envelope from the pile of silver and handed it to Old Man Hu with a trembling hand.
Old Man Hu took it and opened it without saying a word. The letter was very short, and the font was in a beautiful thin gold script. Each stroke was strong and powerful, and the fold points were as sharp as a scimitar. The strange thing is that these words went up.
It doesn't look like it was written in ink, and I don't know what exactly Zhong Qingye used to write it.
The above message is very simple. In layman's terms, it is to thank the elders for their careful hospitality and allowing her to have a peaceful night's sleep despite the exhaustion of the journey. Therefore, she is very grateful and so on. Finally, she said that the only way to repay her is with money.
vulgar things to repay them.
Zhong Qingye also said that these silver coins were scraps of silver that she had specially exchanged for banknotes. There were one hundred taels in total. She could just use as much as she needed. This would avoid exposing her wealth and inviting disaster by using large-denomination banknotes.
What Zhong Qingye said was an understatement, and Miao Miao's few words were written on the paper, but the two old men suddenly turned pale.
One hundred taels of silver...
For Zhong Qingye, this may not even be a figure that is qualified to be compared, but for these two old people, it is a large sum that has not been seen in a lifetime, no, several lifetimes.
With this money, the two old people can build a big house again, find a few servants to serve them, and spend the rest of their lives. Zhong Qingye's handiwork is really a big deal for them.
Quite a bit.
Money can do many things, and Zhong Qingye is a money-worshiping girl who loves money. This can be seen from her fight with Qi Mo. Anyone who wants to extort some money from her will definitely have to pay a heavy price.
, you can refer to the lesson of Laoergou on this point.
But this time was different. For Zhong Qingye, the warmth given to her by the two old people was definitely something that money could not buy. If it were not for fear of scaring the two old people, Zhong Qingye would really want to move a mountain of gold to them.
But now the reaction of the two old people, one hundred taels of silver is enough to make them frightened. If Zhong Qingye really moved a mountain of gold, they would probably have a heart attack.
"Old man...this..." The old woman sat there in confusion, with a large bag of silver placed on her lap. In the eyes of others, this was like a big pie falling from the sky, but this simple old man was at a loss for words.
Old Man Hu was also sweating profusely. He picked up the pipe without any sparks from the ground, took two heavy breaths of white air, and murmured: "Ye Qing... who is he..."
"Old man, this money..." The old woman was so anxious that she almost cried: "How can we accept so much money?"
Old Man Hu thought about it with a solemn expression, and shook his head with a wry smile: "That kid was sure that we wouldn't accept it, so he hid it under the quilt and didn't let us find him until he left. Alas... just keep it first.
, anyway, he will come back in the future, so I will return it to him when the time comes."
"Where do you want me to hide such a large sum of money?" The old woman almost jumped out of bed.
"..."
Time is like water, and the stars are passing by. In the blink of an eye, Zhong Qingye has left that small village for half a month. During these half months, she walked around and wandered around like a tourist, and she acted like an ordinary citizen when she was interested.
Just go to the market, and when you feel bad, find a place where no one is around to be alone.
Unknowingly, the weather gradually got hotter. Zhong Qingye didn't pay much attention to the time after leaving. Instead, without a destination, he unknowingly crossed the dividing line between Northern Qi and Dongshang and entered three days ago.
Within Dongshang territory.
Dongshang is located in the east, and its environment is very different from that of Northern Qi. The folk customs here are simple and simple, and the styles of clothing and houses are more comfortable and generous, which is completely different from the solemn and sturdy style of Northern Qi.
The territory of Dongshang is rich in water resources, lined with mountains, and the scenery is the most unique place in the Three Kingdoms. Everywhere reveals a sense of comfort and ease in enjoying life. The people here are bold and free of scheming, and are very frank in getting along with others. There are many women.
She is soft and shy, with a plump figure, while the man is slender and slender, with a bookish air all over his body.
The tough folk customs here are so different from those in the Northern Qi Dynasty that when Zhong Qingye first walked into Dongshang territory, he felt quite refreshed.
If the Northern Qi Dynasty is a sharp long sword, imposing, ancient and solemn, then the Eastern Shang Dynasty is a small jade object, which is gentle, elegant and dignified. The two countries each have their own characteristics, but in comparison Zhong Qingye is more
I prefer the comfortable atmosphere of Dongshang.
Therefore, in the three days after entering Dongshang, Zhong Qingye was having a lot of fun. If the injuries on her body hadn't fully recovered, she might have stayed awake.
The weather was good that day, the environment was good, and he was in a good mood. Zhong Qingye suddenly became interested and dismounted his horse in a small bamboo forest on the roadside, eager to catch some animal for handmade barbecue.
What she was thinking about came to her. She had just jumped off the horse when she saw a snow-white rabbit crawling past her eyes.
