"The double compensation was agreed upon, but the second prince is going to break his promise?"
Jinse walked to the box and took out several priceless items one by one.
The more she took it, the more panicked Xie Xiuming became. After a while, his head was covered with fine beads of sweat.
That's scary.
Just one of those things is worth a lot of money, let alone double compensation.
His money is used for great things, not for supporting enemies.
Thinking of this, Xie Xiuming glared at Nangong Yu again.
For this guy who had little success but plenty of failure, he wondered for the first time whether he had hooked up with the wrong person over the years.
But things have come to this, even if it is a dark road, he can only go to the dark road one way and bite the bullet.
He spoke righteously: "Miss Nangong is joking. These items in your hands are all valuable. If you want double compensation, I can't afford it."
Jinse: "You really can't afford the compensation?"
Xie Xiuming narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "I can't afford to pay."
He made up his mind not to pay, and the other party would not embarrass him too much in front of so many officials.
"Okay," Jinse clapped her hands and smiled, "Then let's pay in installments."
"Payment in installments?" Xie Xiuming was shocked. He thought that just because he said he couldn't afford the compensation, this article would be enough to cover it up.
Who knew the other party had new ideas?
Jinse nodded: "Yes, to be precise, it is paid in batches. Since the second prince's house does not have enough money, let's pay the down payment today and the rest will be returned monthly."
"Look, one month is one hundred taels, one year is one thousand two hundred taels, and ten years is one thousand two thousand taels."
"I'll pay it off one day."
People around were also stunned: Is there such a way to repay money?
With a smile in his eyes, Xie Xiuqi echoed Jin Se's idea and called the boy:
"Go get a pen and paper, calculate the value of these things, and give the second brother an accurate amount."
"Also, if you buy a few strong men, you don't have to do anything else. You just need to go to the second brother's house every mid-month to ask for installment payment."
Everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill.
The salaries of Jing State officials are all paid in the middle of the month.
They couldn't imagine what it would be like to have half, or even more than half, of the salary they received in the future be divided first.
After a month of hard work, I only have a pitiful amount of money in my hand...
Everyone couldn't help but look at Xie Xiuming with sympathy.
Tragic, too tragic.
Xie Xiuming laughed secretly, thinking that Jin Se was someone with ideas. He had never thought that he would do such a mindless thing, and even Xie Xiuqi followed her in the mischief.
What is the use of installment payment?
If he doesn't give it then, what can the other party do to him?
Jinse was also smiling: "Husband, isn't this good? Our family sends strong men to the second brother's place every month. When people see it, they think we are going to be detrimental to the second brother and affect your brother's relationship."
"In order to prevent the common people or officials from misunderstanding, we must beat gongs and drums to explain the past, and take a detour to the door of the official's house far away to show our innocence."
After saying these words, Xie Xiuming's face turned dark.
He can break his promise, but he can't let everyone in the world know that he doesn't keep his promise.
It would be fine for ordinary people, but he couldn't lose face in front of some important officials and aristocratic families.
No one wants to support a master who doesn't keep his promises. Even if there is, they don't know about it in the first place.
No matter, just let them be proud for two years, and the world will belong to him sooner or later.
At that time, it was time to settle the accounts with them!
He took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his pocket and raised it high, Xie Xiuming sneered.
"As you said, this is the down payment. Next month, the Prince's Mansion will deliver the installment payment on time. There is no need to send anyone to pick it up."
After saying that, he threw the banknotes on the ground and took Nangong Yu's wrist: "Let's go."
"Wait a minute." Jinse's voice was calm, and even his voice was gentle, making everyone feel familiar.
"For a dignified prince's palace, the down payment can only be one hundred taels, which is too childish."
"Double compensation was proposed by the second prince himself. A gentleman's words are hard to follow."
"I always thought that the second prince was a gentleman..."
Xie Xiuming was so angry that his chest hurt, and Nangong Yu felt extremely distressed.
He stood up and retorted: "What kind of gentleman is not a gentleman? Do you still want to force the second prince to death?"
"Oh?" Jinse pretended to be surprised, "It turns out that spending more than one hundred taels can force the second prince to death. I didn't know that the second prince's house was in such a dilemma."
"That's right. If you don't even have money, there's no need to be a gentleman."
"That's enough!" Xie Xiuming looked at Jinse viciously, "What do you want?"
Jinse's face was expressionless: "It's very simple, just get the down payment."
Xie Xiuqi suddenly spoke without any warning, his tone was gentle and his voice was as gentle as jade, making people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze.
"In my mansion, there is a chief historian, plus fifteen first, second, and third class guards, plus the chief cook, steward, treasurer, craftsman, etc., totaling more than thirty people."
"There are also maids and servants. The annual expenses are thousands of taels."
"This is what I tried my best to reduce, but I had no choice but to do it due to the specifications of the prince's palace."
"There are only a lot of things in the second brother's house."
He said it very clearly, Xie Xiuming's annual expenses were thousands of taels, and now he took one hundred taels, who was he trying to embarrass?
As soon as Xie Xiuqi spoke, his gentle tone immediately brought everyone back to their senses.
Good guy, they also said that Jinse’s tone sounded familiar, isn’t it the same style as the Third Prince’s?
Before the kiss was completed today, the two of them became husband and wife.
Makes one's teeth sore.
Xie Xiuming's teeth became even more sore, and he gritted his teeth loudly.
"Nangong Jin, Xie Xiuqi, you are really good."
He took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and threw them to the ground angrily before Xie Xiuming left with Nangong Yu.
Jinse pointed out the servant who helped Xie Xiuming open the box:
"You take the banknote and give it to the steward, and it will be included in my dowry."
It is reasonable and reasonable to let Xie Xiuming's people pick up his banknotes.
But this person cannot be kept.
"Okay," Jinse gently pushed Xie Xiuqi up, "Husband, we haven't finished worshiping heaven and earth yet."
Everyone saw the excitement and suddenly felt that today was not in vain.
Some people also began to think that the second prince looked stupid, and if the third prince was not disabled, he would have wanted to switch to the third prince.
Fortunately, except for Nangong Yu's incident, there were no other disturbances, and Jinse was quickly sent to the bridal chamber.
…
Everyone knew that Xie Xiuqi was ill, and because of his status as a prince, no one gave him alcohol.
But even though he had not touched any alcohol, he felt a little dizzy and felt unreal.
After meeting Jinse this time, within just a few days, the two of them got married.
But she was a general who fought against the barbarians, but he was...
Xie Xiuqi's eyes dimmed for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and he slowly opened the door.
Jinse was sitting upright by the bed, even the hijab on her head was neatly arranged.
Xie Xiuqi felt warm in his heart.
Even as majestic as she is, she still has such a sweet side.
She must also attach great importance to today's wedding, so she will sit here and wait for him.
He stepped forward to face Jinse and said softly:
"Jin'er, we are getting married."
Picking up the jade Ruyi in the tray of the maid next to her, she gently opened her hijab, revealing Jinse who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed underneath.
