Chapter Forty-Five: A Thousand Taels of Silver

Yuan Qi buttoned up his clothes and said to the people outside the door: "Please come in."

When Ah Zhu heard this, he immediately opened the door and brought the person in.

After Song Qiaoqiao and Song Qian walked in, they saw the two people, one sitting in front of the window and the other standing by the bed.

"You two have been waiting for a long time, please take a seat." Motoqi walked to the table and greeted with a smile.

"Master Yuan, I'm here to get the land deed today, and this girl just wants to buy some land." Song Qian sat in front of the table, wondering if he was too nervous and couldn't let go of his hands and feet.

Yuan Qi nodded and turned to call A Zhu: "Go and get the house deed and land deed."

After a while, A Zhu came over with a wooden box.

Song Qian took it and looked at it, then turned around and asked, "What kind of field does the girl want?"

When Cheng Qingwen heard this, she realized that she didn't bring any money.

"Well, I seem to have forgotten to bring money when I went out today. Let me take a look first, and then I will come over to buy it in the evening."

Song Qian smiled when he heard this and pushed the Tian deed to her: "Then let the girl choose first."

"How many fields do you want to buy?"

"Let's buy another ten yuan. I still have a lot of things I haven't planted yet." Cheng Qinghan said while pulling Song Qiaoqiao to choose.

Yuan Qi nodded and turned to wink at A Zhu.

By the time Cheng Qingwen had selected ten fields, A Zhu had already placed ten taels of silver on the table and was just waiting for her to sign.

When Yuan Qi received her confused look, he chuckled and said, "You can just send the money later."

"Aqing's place is really lively." A cheerful voice came from outside the door, and everyone was stunned and looked at it.

Yuan Qi's expression suddenly changed, he stepped forward quickly and leaned over slightly: "First Young Master, Fourth Young Master."

Cheng Qinghan looked at the two young men in gorgeous clothes who came in from outside the house and frowned.

Yuan Qi originally came from a century-old family and had a distinguished status. I'm afraid there are only a few princes who can call him a prince.

Her expression changed, and while they were chatting, she pulled the other two people to say goodbye.

"Master Yuan, we have already purchased the land deed, so we won't bother you."

Cheng Qingwen walked up to them and said with a smile.

Yuan Qi glanced at the two people opposite him and nodded: "I'll let A Zhu see you off."

After saying that, he asked A Zhu to send the people out, and suddenly there were only three people left in the room.

Yuan Qi immediately saluted and said, "I didn't know that your two highnesses suddenly arrived, but I didn't come far to greet them. Please forgive me for this."

The prince held his hand and signaled that he didn't need to be polite: "You and I, there's no need to be polite."

Yuan Qi poured tea for the two of them and asked softly: "Why did your two highnesses come here suddenly?"

"My father went on a tour incognito to the next county. My fourth brother and I were disgusted with the singing and dancing, so we came to see you." The prince took a look at the surroundings and chuckled: "If I hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that Ah Qing was here.

To live in such a shabby room."

"Your Highness was joking. I wonder why your Majesty suddenly went on patrol?"

"Your father was caught in the act and impeached the county magistrate for corruption during the epidemic. My father, the emperor and the officials, took care of each other, so he took a few of us incognito for a private visit."

Yuan Qi nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

The fourth prince took the tea cup, took a sip, and thought of the woman just now: "It's not a bad thing that A Qing lives here. At least he has a woman by his side."

When the prince heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, yes, who is that woman just now? You actually asked A Zhu to send her back in person. Please tell me quickly so that I can go back and talk to your grandmother."

"Your Highness, please say goodbye. I just sent Ling'er back. Do you want to recruit him back for me?"

"It's really time for you to have a concubine by your side. Where does that person live just now? Is there an engagement?"

Yuan Qi was a little dumbfounded, and glanced at the fourth prince who was gloating about his misfortune: "I think Your Highness should worry about the fourth prince. Spending a long time in beauty is not good for your physical and mental health."

"Hey, don't slander me."

Motoqi ignored his words and continued: "Your Highness should not have brought him here. You don't like singing and dancing. I think the Fourth Highness likes you the most."

"Aqing..."

The prince looked at the fourth prince, then at Yuan Qi, and said with a smile: "Don't you want the files of the Cheng family? It just so happened that the fourth brother was also checking. I took the files away one step ahead, and I will take him with me today."

coming."

Yuan Qi frowned, thinking that the fourth prince was born from Cheng's daughter, so he suppressed his doubts.

He took the file over and looked through it carefully.

After Cheng Qinghan arrived home, he quickly handed the ten taels of silver to A Zhu and motioned for him to return it.

Then, he took a hoe, took Song Qiaoqiao and Lian Zhi to the new fields, and planted some more wheat, soybeans, and sugar cane, leaving five fields, waiting to be planted with others.

It was getting dark, and when Cheng Qingwen was walking back with a hoe on his back, he happened to meet Yuan Qi and the two highnesses at the door of his house.

She paused in her steps and asked doubtfully: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Yuan?"

Yuan Qi thought for a while and then said: "The reward from the palace has arrived."

Cheng Qingwen was stunned, and when she looked up, she saw a few servants following the two people, and asked softly: "Do you know what the reward is? Do you want to meet the saint? If so, I won't let them in.

, I’m afraid that my mother-in-law will resist the order on the spot.”

"There is no need to meet the emperor, the prince is just like His Majesty coming in person." Yuanqi smiled and touched her head lovingly.

"Is this Miss Cheng who grew tomatoes?" the prince walked up and said with a smile.

"Yes." Cheng Qingwen looked at the surrounding villagers, smiled and invited them into the house.

As soon as the door was closed, the chamberlain took out the imperial edict: "Cheng Qingwan accepts the edict."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but Cheng Hua'er reacted first: "Kneel down."

Only then did the people in the room kneel down sparsely.

The chamberlain shook his head and then recited the imperial edict: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that the Cheng family has made great achievements at a young age and has made great achievements in planting tomatoes. I will be specially rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. I will continue to work hard. I appreciate this and thank you for your kindness."

Cheng Qingwen blinked and followed the woman's words and kowtowed in thanks.

She took the imperial edict and the whole box of silver and smiled from ear to ear. When she stood up, she heard the chamberlain say: "Miss Cheng, I heard from Mr. Yuan that you have planted some more tomatoes. Your Majesty is very interested. I wonder if you can attract them?"

Shall I go and take a look?"

"Okay." Cheng Qingwen nodded in agreement and led the people to the backyard: "Right here."

The group of people looked around and sighed at the unripe green fruits.

Cheng Qingwen took advantage of this moment to withdraw from the crowd and watched Cheng Hua'er holding on to the wall and looking at the two princes with a blank expression. She thought she was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Hua'er covered her chest and couldn't speak for a while.

"Aniang, Aniang." Cheng Qingwen suddenly panicked and quickly supported her: "Qiaoqiao, come quickly."

Everyone turned around when they heard the sound and quickly carried the person back into the house.

"Miss Cheng, madam, what is this?" the chamberlain asked quickly after receiving the prince's look.

"It's probably an old illness. It's nothing serious." Cheng Qingwen frowned and stood up, taking Song Qiaoqiao outside the house: "I'll go to the back mountain to find a miracle doctor, and you can make the medicine, and then let Aunt Liu and Lian Zhi entertain the guests.

."

"But... the road to the back of the mountain is dangerous, so I'll go with you."

"No, there can't be no one watching in the house. I've walked past it several times, don't worry." Cheng Qingwen touched her head and left quickly.

Song Qiaoqiao looked at her back, walked into the house worriedly, and did everything she arranged.

When Yuan Qi heard that she was going to the back mountain alone, he quickly got up and wanted to chase her out.

"Ah Qing!" The prince stopped him fiercely, and then said: "The tea here is delicious. Sit down and have a drink with me."

Yuan Qi thought for a while, turned around and asked Ah Zhu to follow him first, then sat down and drank tea for a while.

After a while, thunder started to thunder outside the house. Yuanqi's expression changed. Just as he was about to go out, he heard the fourth prince pulling his sleeve and saying softly: "Jia's servant is still here. If you follow him now, the third brother will definitely

I will know and I will definitely give you a copy when the time comes."

"The road to the back of the mountain is dangerous, I have to go take a look."

The prince put down the tea cup heavily and turned to look at Waiter Jia: "You go back and report first. My fourth brother and I will stay here for a while."

"Yes." Waiter Jia accepted a purse full of money and responded with a smile.

After he went out, Yuanqi quickly put on his raincoat and planned to go out.

The prince looked at his figure running forward and chuckled: "You are really tempted. It seems that the second sister is completely out of luck."

"I always feel like I've seen that woman somewhere, but I just can't remember." The fourth prince said with a smile while holding a tea cup.

"When you say that, I think that girl looks familiar."

While the two were talking, Cheng Hua'er had already woken up and had been listening to their conversation.

Yuan Qi walked halfway and saw Cheng Qingwen walking down with the miracle doctor and A Zhu.

He quickly stepped forward and checked to see if he was injured.

The miracle doctor curled his lips and said in a sore tone: "Oh, it's just a few steps, how can she be hurt? I walk like this every day, isn't it still okay?"

Yuan Qi glanced at him and said calmly: "If you had married that girl a few years ago, there would be people around you now asking you for help."

Cheng Qingwen saw the miracle doctor angrily and said nothing, then smiled: "Why are you here?"

"I happened to see you when I was passing by." Yuan Qi turned his head and said to A Zhu: "Mrs. Cheng is still unconscious. Please take the miracle doctor to have a look first."

A Zhu responded, quickly picked him up by the waist, and flew down using Qinggong.

Cheng Qingwen looked at Qing Gong and was very envious: "It would be great if I could also do Qing Gong."

"Then shall I take you down?" Yuan Qi looked at her and said with a smile.

"No, you're still injured, you'd better keep walking."

Yuan Qi lowered his head, smiled, and led her down.

Not long after walking, the two saw a familiar figure being chased by a dozen men in black.

"That's the prince?" Cheng Qingwan guessed.

Yuan Qi's expression changed, and just as he was about to rush forward, he was stopped by a man in black falling from the sky.

He sneered and hid the girl behind his back.

"Master Yuan is really compassionate and cherishes her. He still wants to protect this woman at this moment."
