Chapter 109 How to spend a million taels

Qi, the sixth year of Xingyuan, September 10.

The air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and there is the sound of selling osmanthus sugar taro everywhere in the alleys. This year's osmanthus taro was better than in previous years, because Emperor Qi decided to officially send 200,000 troops to the peacekeeping city on September 17th, a place on the border between Qi and mainland. This also means that countless young men will say goodbye to their parents, wives and children and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. There is no doubt that heroes can survive, but more of them will die in battle.

In an inconspicuous alley in the capital, Wu Mou curled up tightly in the corner of the wall. He had not eaten for three days. Suddenly, a black dog with half a cake in his hand broke into his realization, and the black dog put the cake on the ground and ate it attentively.

Wu Mou's eyes stared at the cake. Suddenly, he didn't know where the strength came from and rushed to the dog. The black dog was stunned by the sudden situation, but soon shouted at Wu Mou, who was robbing him for food. Who knew that Wu Mou said viciously, "Scream again, how to scream again?" I'll bite you to death again."

Wu Mou swallowed the cake in a few mouths, then sat down by the wall and said with tears on his face, "I didn't expect that I had fallen to the point of grabbing food with the dog, haha..."

"Why are you here? Go back with me." A soft voice sounded, and Wu Mou saw a very handsome man in a fiery red brocade long coat talking to him. But he soon found that the man was not talking to himself, but to the black dog squatting at his feet.

That person is none other than Shen Wuli.

Shen unreasonally squatted down, held the black dog in his arms and turned around and left. Wu Mou said hatefully, "Damn rich man."

Shen unreasonedly stopped, turned around and asked with a smile, "What's the hate?"

Wu Mou didn't expect that Shen Wuli would turn around and ask himself and stab, "You, what do you want to do?" Find someone to beat me up?"

"Why did I hit you?"

"Oh." Wu Mou said, "Without you rich people, we poor people will have a better life, so you rich people are abominable."

Shen turned around and asked, "Without rich people, your life will be better?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll give you a million taels of silver now." Shen Wuli took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and threw them to Wu Mou and said, "Tell me, how are you going to spend this million taels of silver?"

Wu Mou looked at the silver bills worth 100,000 yuan in disbelief and asked, "These? Give me all these silver and silver tickets?"

"Yes, but there is a condition that you must spend them in an hour."

"What?"

"I spent them in an hour."

"Is't it just a silver ticket? It's not easy." Wu Mou carefully put away the silver tickets, stood up and patted the dust, and said, "I have spent a million taels of silver."

"I will follow you." Shen Wuli said, "Where are we going first?"

"Where to go?" Wu Mou thought for a moment and said, "Naturally, go and change your clothes first. It's very close to Jinlanzhuang."

Jinlanzhuang, many dignitaries will make clothes in this store, because the cheapest piece of clothing in Jinlanzhuang costs 500 taels of silver. You should know that ordinary people's monthly income is only about one taels of silver. If you want to buy a piece of Jinlanzhuang's clothes, you have to eat or drink it for at least 50 years.

A clerk in Jinlanzhuang immediately greeted Shen Wuli with a black dog in his arms: "Master Shen, what do you need?"

"I didn't buy clothes today, it's him." Shen Wuli looked at Wu Mou next to him. The clerk looked at Wu Mou, who was not even as good as a beggar, and immediately showed a contemptuous look, but because of Shen's unreasonable face, he still said politely, "What do you need?"

"How much is your most expensive clothes?" Wu Mou remembered to spend one million taels of silver in an hour, so he thought it was always right to choose the most expensive one. Anyway, it was not his own money.

"Our most expensive clothes? Please come with me." The man said, please wait here first. I'll get the most expensive clothes in our store.

After a while, the clerk came out with a nearly transparent glass box in his arms. He carefully put the glass box on the table and slowly opened the box. Wu Mou looked at the moon-white gown in the box with some disappointment and asked, "Is this the most expensive dress in your store?"

"Yes, this dress is made of silk spit out by a thousand-year-old ice silkworm and was woven by the best silkworm lady in the world. Although it is plain, it is incompatible with knives and guns. Not only can it be worn on the body, but it can also be invulnerable."

"How much is it?"

"100,000 taels of silver."

"I want it."

Wu Mou was very satisfied with the clothes he chose. This million taels cost 100,000 taels so quickly. After he changed into that moon-white gown, his temperament immediately changed. It's incredible as if he came from a fairyland. Of course, it would be better if he could wash his face.

Out of Jinlanzhuang, Shen asked unreasonally, "Where are you going next?"

"Qingcheng Tower."

Shen Wuli said with a smile, "You only have less than an hour left. Are you going to have fun in the fireworks? Besides, what kind of girl can offer 900,000 yuan?

"What do you care about me? Just follow it."

When the two came to the gate of the Qingcheng Tower, Wu Mou said lonelyly, "Every time I want to come to see her, but I dare not."

"Who do you see?"

"White dream." Wu Mou said with a wry smile, "I like her, but I know that such a woman won't like me at all."

"You have money now, you can cover her."

"Ye." Wu Mou answered in a low voice, and then walked into the beautiful tower.

As soon as the old pimp saw Shen Wuli, she immediately said with a smile, "Yo, Master Shen, why did you come to my beautiful tower? What song do you want to listen to today? I asked the girls to prepare.

"Aunt Dan, I won't listen to the song today. My friend wants to find a girl."

Aunt Dan immediately turned her eyes to Wu Mou and said softly, "I don't know what kind of girl you are looking for? We can sing songs, play the piano, and play chess. Looking at the salary, we must like to play chess? I don't know if Aunt Dan is right?

"I want a white dream." Wu Mou said lightly, "I want to redeem myself for Bai Meng."

"White Dream?" Aunt Dan asked in surprise, "Why do you want to redeem a blind man? What's more, she is not good-looking, that is, she dances better.

"I want her, you can make a price."

When Aunt Dan saw that Wu Mou's momentum meant to redeem Bai Meng, fortunately, the lion said loudly, "Two thousand taels."

Wu Mou took out two silver tickets of 100,000 taels from his sleeve and handed them to Aunt Dan: "This is 200,000 taels. Bring Bai Meng to see me."

"Alle."

In a while, Aunt Dan brought the white dream that Wu Mou thought about day and night to him. Indeed, Aunt Dan said that Bai dream was not beautiful, and she was a blind girl. He really couldn't figure out why Wu Mou fell in love with her.

Wu Mou took a step forward and gently grabbed Bai Meng's hand. In fact, Wu Mou was trembling. This was the goddess he thought about day and night. Today, I can finally take her hand, and from now on, this goddess will belong to him.

Bai Meng subconsciously withdrew her hand and took two steps back: "Who are you?"

Aunt Dan pushed Bai Meng down in front of Wu Mou and said, "This gentleman has redeemed you. You can follow him in the future."

Bai Meng was silent for a while, and then stretched out her hands as if she were touching something in the air. Wu Mou grabbed her hands and held her in her arms and whispered, "Don't worry, I will be good to you. Why do you have black cloth on your eyes? Can I take it down?"

Bai Meng shook her head and whispered, "I can't take it. I have scars in my eyes, and I can't see the light."

"Okay, if you don't take it, don't take it."

Aunt Dan asked in a low voice, "Master Shen, is this really your friend?"

"Why doesn't it look like it?"

"It's not a question of whether he looks or not, but..." Aunt Dan said with some embarrassment, "I always feel that he feels like a beggar."

"You have a good vision." Shen Wuli said with a smile, "Let's go."

Looking at the back of Shen Wuli and Wu Mou, Aunt Dan took a deep breath and said, "Although she is a beggar, she is a beggar who died for love."

"Where to go next?" Shen Wuli asked, "There are still 700,000 taels of silver. How are you going to spend it?"
