When she returned to the courtyard, Pei Heng was waiting in Xia Xinghe's room with a stinky face, while the others were working in an orderly manner.
Next to Pei Heng, there were four more bags of candies. Apparently, he came here early in the morning, caught up with the candies, and had been waiting here for the delicious meal at noon.
"Mr. Pei, you came very early!" Xia Qiyue stepped forward with a smile and said.
"You still knew you were coming back? Those who didn't know thought you were getting married! Hurry! This young master is going to starve to death!" Pei Heng said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Okay, if I don't want to be stubborn with you, I'll do it for you!" Xia Qiyue had no interest in being stubborn with others today and walked out honestly.
Pei Heng took the candy and chased him out, "I want to eat mutton today!"
Xia Qiyue walked to the kitchen without looking back, "No! At most, it's a bowl of instant noodles!"
"This young master of instant noodles has eaten it and agreed not to make the same thing again for a month!" Pei Heng was not a fool, so of course he knew how to settle the score.
"It's not impossible to eat mutton, but..." Xia Qiyue stopped and turned to look at Pei Heng, "You have to buy mutton yourself!"
Pei Heng had a stinking look on his face, "I agreed that you would treat me to lunch for a month, why do you still ask me to buy my own meals?"
He comes to eat every day at the risk of being slapped by his master. The capital is still forty miles away from here. Is it easy for him?
"You eat too much, and you always have to eat expensive ones that you can't afford!" Xia Qiyue spread her hands, "If you don't buy it, you can only eat instant noodles!"
She said that there was quite a lot of flour, and although making instant noodles was a bit laborious, she endured it. Who knew that the other party had really done her a big favor.
If she marries a yamen and sets up a female household, she will really have to deal with the consequences, and half her life will be light.
"You spend less than a few hundred taels a day to buy sugar, right? Can't you afford mutton?" Pei Heng didn't believe it.
Xia Qiyue shook her head, "I have three children, and younger brothers and sisters to support. Now, I am building a house again, and I have to find husbands for my children, and I have to buy them horses, bows and arrows... There are so many places to spend money.
Very poor!”
She didn't lie, she really wanted to buy these things, and not only these, she also wanted to buy a lot of things. After the house was built, although it was a kang, there was no need to buy a bed, but the wardrobe, dressing table and other furniture, plus her
A children's paradise designed for three children, including swings, slides, merry-go-rounds, all the rides have to be built exclusively by someone, and the materials must be good, so it must cost a lot of money.
In addition, Qinqin's calligraphy and painting studio, racecourse, and shooting range are another large expense, and it does require money.
In addition, buying suitable horses for the three children is also a big expense, because they cannot buy the kind of horses that pull carts, they must be of good breed.
She wanted to raise her three children well, to be proficient in morality, intelligence, physical education, art, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horseback riding and archery.
In this world, she has no ties except her children and younger siblings. She earns so much money, what else can she do if she doesn't train them?
No matter how rich she is, she only eats three meals a day, but investing in her children is different. She will be proud of her children when they have success in the future, right?
In this imperial society, it's not about having the best money, but having status. As long as you have status, isn't it easy to earn money?
"Isn't it? How old are they? Are you going to find a wife for them? They haven't reached the age of enlightenment yet? Besides, how can such a young child ride a horse? Isn't it dangerous?" Pei Heng dug in disbelief.
Ears, did he hear it correctly? Is this woman crazy?
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, whatever you want to eat, please bring the ingredients first. Otherwise, I can only eat whatever I want!"
Xia Qiyue is just acting like a rogue, she is a woman, she is not trustworthy, that's it!
Xia Qiyue quickly prepared the noodles for Pei Heng, no matter how he ate them, he put them on the table anyway, and then went out in a hurry.
Today is the fifth day. I wonder if the handsome man buried the money under the hitching post as she ordered.
But regardless of whether it was there or not, she had to look for it, just in case it was really given to her.
When Feng Feng Huo Huo arrived at the Yuelai Inn, Xia Qiyue carefully parked the carriage at the door of Jigu's pastry shop and walked over by herself.
The inn was not particularly lively in the afternoon, and there was no movement in the yard. She happened to be digging for treasure... Bah, digging for silver.
Although she didn't know if the man had really buried it for her, Xia Qiyue dug vigorously, digging with her bare hands under the last hitching post.
The horse was still tied to the hitching post, and he snorted from time to time, which frightened her and gave her a fierce warning.
"You stinky horse, don't hum. If you hum again, your nose will be blocked!"
Unexpectedly, as if the horse understood what she said, it paved the ground with its front feet and hummed even louder.
"Brother Ma, don't bark, don't bark. It'll be over soon. Just be quiet for a while! I'll give you something delicious to eat later!"
Xia Qiyue did not dare to warn harshly anymore, and quickly softened her tone to coax.
Sure enough, her guess was right. This shiny black horse can understand people's words and understand people's emotional changes.
Xia Qiyue took out a handful of corn from the space and carefully placed it in the stone trough, "Eat it, eat it! Don't make any noise!"
The horse got close to him, and Xia Qiyue went to dig his own money with confidence.
After digging for a while, I saw the corner of a blue purse. Xia Qiyue happily pulled the purse out.
"He is indeed a good person. I saved him right, hahaha..." He was so happy that he almost forgot that he came here secretly to dig for treasure.
Carefully opening the purse, there was a one-hundred-tael banknote inside, and...a letter she left behind, but there were words written by An Zichen underneath.
Xia Qiyue flicked the banknote, put it in his pocket with satisfaction, and said, people who know how to be grateful are so cute.
Although she had three hundred taels credited to her account every other day, she got one hundred taels for free... No, it should be eighty taels. She paid for the doctor to stay in the hotel and the tip for the child was all her money.
But being so white is something that people can’t help but be excited about.
Just when she was happily about to leave with her banknotes and letter, a cold and murderous voice sounded behind her.
"What did you feed Zhui Feng?"
Xia Qiyue came to her senses in horror, not because of these words, but because of the murderous aura.
Turning around, I saw a man in blue clothes, tall and tall, with a handsome face... Well, his face was stern. Although he was good-looking, he had a murderous look on his face, which gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
Xia Qiyue subconsciously turned around and ran away. She had to run quickly. She was caught by this man by mistake. It was too dangerous.
Zheng Ying's expression changed, and the next second he appeared in front of Xia Qiyue, causing her to stumble and bump into his chest.
"Young hero, have mercy on me, I... I just gave it a handful of corn kernels to eat. It's not poisonous, it's not poisonous!"
With nowhere to escape, she could only close her eyes and beg for mercy.
