Chapter 50, there will be no gifts this year~ Only Ganoderma lucidum will receive gifts~♫
Especially at this time, Xinyi is more short of money than usual.
Seeing that she heard the word 'silver' so quickly, Mu Fangjin reached out and made a 'please' posture and pointed to the bamboo stool she had just sat on. "Sir, why don't you sit down and say?"
I didn't expect any moths to come out of this man. Xinyi nodded and sat down. Mr. Mu, what do you want to do in Jizhou?
He subconsciously looked north - there was a continuous mountain range. In fact, near the village where she lived, it was the foothills, and a large forest covered the whole mountain. To tell the truth, sir, I want to go into the mountains.
"Into the mountain? That's easy..." She thought that Perrin often picks mushrooms in the forest at the foot of the mountain, digs some wild vegetables and so on, and even Gan Song has to go into the mountain to cut wood. It doesn't sound difficult. "It's just what you do in the mountain?"
"Reishi." He went straight to the topic and said, "The forest at the foot of the mountain is naturally useless. I want to go to the less crowded place on the mountain. Maybe there will be a hundred-year ganoderma."
What do you want Lingzhi to do? Isn't Mu Fangjin an official? Isn't this thing just sending people into the mountain to look for it? Do you have to go in by yourself? Do you still need the ganoderma lucidum? Xinyi really can't figure it out. Is this thing used to honor his parents and elders, or is it used to give it to leaders?
She thought about it carefully and felt that the latter was more likely.
No gifts will be accepted during the holiday this year~ Only Ganoderma lucidum will be accepted~?
Understand in seconds.
Xinyi nodded with understanding, and finally understood the reason why Mu Fangjin had to speak so secretively. Gift-giving, this kind of hidden operation naturally can't be known by everyone, right? Got it...and then what?"
"Five taels of silver reward, as a guide to take us into the mountain." He explained, "I have another follower."
"Five taels of silver!? Are you going to send a beggar?" As soon as Xinyi heard this, he patted the table and roared, "Mr. Mu, I think you know about the dishes. It seems that you just said that I also remember that the starting price of fortune-telling for you is also five taels of silver, so this trip to the mountain... also five taels of silver? If you don't want to talk about this business, don't force it! If you have this attitude again, there is really nothing to say..."
As soon as Mu Fangjin saw this situation, he quickly interrupted: "That doubles, ten taels."
"Munzi, I think you are looking for the wrong person." Xinyi glanced at him and said, "I'm a fortune-teller. I'm a fortune-telling man. What kind of guide to the mountain? Mr. Mu, you are insulting me! Mr. Mu, at least I have received orthodox education and training from my teacher. Anyway, I was also a little famous in this Jizhou city at that time--
"...double again, twenty taels."
Xinyi swallowed his saliva, "Munzi, there is a lot of knowledge to go into the mountain, but after all, he is not a casual person. He has always made a living by fortune-telling..."
He seemed to be impatient in an instant and waved his hand, "Fifty taels."
"..." She was stunned, and then quickly piled up a smile on her face. "Munzi, you probably don't know. I'm the person under the foothills of Jizhou. I often went to the mountain forest to play when I was a child~ Really, I'm familiar with this mountain road! I used to climb up... Let me tell you, if you look for me, you will definitely find the wrong person!" She patted her chest and said, "I dare say that you can't find a second person in the whole city of Jizhou who is more familiar with mountains and forests than me!"
"To be honest."
"It's a deal." She gave a concise answer.
Mu Fangjin raised his eyebrows and said, "I think you change your face fast enough."
"Where is it, I dare not do it." She waved her hand and said, "You're a compliment." She smiled and said, "These days, whoever gives money is the uncle. Naturally, people like us have no overnight hatred with the uncles. They have a good image, good temperament, high quality and excellent attitude, which is the consistent feature of my service. That... the guest officer abused me thousands of times, and I treated the guest officer like my first love.
Good image and temperament? Can you find someone with a bad image and bad temperament? He said what hurt Xinyi, but in the end, he was embarrassed to say it. In the end, the only action was an unnatural twitch at the corners of his mouth. "...So it is."
"What, do you need to sign a contract?"
"...and what?"
Mu Fangjin has never heard of this foreign thing, and Xinyi has to accommodate this ancient earthen paper, "Then set up a document?"
He was stunned, "Why do you still set up a document?" He couldn't laugh or cry, "You...you're not afraid that I will blame you at that time, are you?"
Xinyi thought about it, although Mu Fangjin is indeed a little stingy at ordinary times, he is at least a second generation of officials... Now he is also a royal historian who eats imperial grain, and he will not owe her dozens of taels of silver. That's right. I probably can't run away from you." She nodded, "But you have to give me twenty taels first."
"What did this say?"
"Dear!" Xinyi looked incredible, "If you don't give me some money to take care of my family, you will take me away. Think about it, is this appropriate?"
He looked at Xinyi and nodded, "Sir, what you said makes sense."
"You see--"
"But do you think I haven't asked you to do anything, so I'll give you 20 taels of silver first? Is this suitable? He replied in Xinyi's tone just now.
Xinyi stared at him, "This is used to show sincerity."
"I came from the capital thousands of miles away. Isn't this sincerity enough? Besides, even if it's sincere, there's no need for 20 taels? He stared at him and said, "Ten taels."
"Twenty taels, no bargaining."
"Fifteen taels."
"Deal!"
Mu Fangjin's face was blackened, "Who just told me '20 taels are not bargaining'?"
She smiled shyly and looked more and more obscene with a stubble on her face. "Oh, I really think you are serious, or you can't raise the price, right? I'm not an unreasonable person. Let's take a step back. Of course, we will have a happy cooperation~" With that, he spread out his palms to him, "Don't be polite, Mr. Mu, fifteen taels of silver."
He nodded meaningfully, and then took out a silver ingot for her, "Ten taels."
"Hey, wait? There are obviously five taels!?" Xinyi stared at him and refused to accept the money. "The one-time payment is cleared first."
"Aren't I just given you five taels?" Mu Fangjin coughed gently and pointed to her, "I'm holding it in your arms."
She patted the table and said, "Sun, you are going to find faults. It was agreed that the five taels you just gave me to unsign, one size... But there is no reason to confuse them like this!"
When the prince saw her angry, he shook the fan indifferently and poured the money bag in front of her. "Sir's words don't sound good. After all, it's not enough to pick up five taels of broken silver now. Is it possible that he has to go to Qianzhuang to exchange a whole silver ingot for some broken silver?"
Xinyi understands that he doesn't want to withdraw money, but he obviously wants to repudiate the debt! She waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Give me twenty taels, and I'll give you back the five taels just now." She didn't like to be polite to Mu Fangjin: "Zero deposit and withdrawal." As she spoke, she misinterpreted: "Zero, you save it, I'll take it away." Xinyi took out the broken silver that Mu Fangjin had just given her and pushed it to him. Then he reached out his palm.
"...Mr. Dare won't suffer losses." Mu Fangjin lowered her head and glanced at her outstretched hand. Her fingers were slender and slender, and she knew that they were different from men at first sight. Several blood stains were wiped out of the palm, and now they are also scabbed and bruised. He smiled and then sighed. Then he was willing to take out another silver ingot and put two large pieces of silver into her hand. "I really admire you."
She grabbed the silver and withdrew her hand. She touched the smooth surface like a baby before she was willing to take it back in her arms.
"Then we will leave early tomorrow morning. Is there any problem, sir?"
"Natural! Naturally." She blindly responded and patted the silver in her arms to feel relieved.
"Why don't you stay at home with me today?" Mu Fangjin narrowed his eyes cunningly, "You know my house. Don't say you are alone, even ten or eight people can live there."
Xinyi's action stiffened, and then looked at him in astonishment, "What are you talking about? Go to your house?"
"To tell you the truth." Mu Fangjin pointed to Xinyi with the fan in his hand and said word by word, "You are worried that you won't pay, but I don't care if you will take this money and run away directly."
"But..." Xinyi raised the silver in his hand, "You have to let me send the silver back, right? Then there is something else to prepare--" such as asking Perlan for directions in advance.
He smiled playfully and seemed to have seen through her mind. "It doesn't matter. Naturally, you can wait until you get 50 taels of silver and send it home together. I think your family will understand."
"You are so good at joking." Xinyi always felt upset, "You don't want to see it. If I, a living person, disappear for a few days, my family will be worried."
"Since you insist on this--" Mu Fangjin thought, "Why don't I send someone to report a letter to you?"
Seeing that it didn't make sense, Xin Yi stood up, and Mu Fangjin also stood up in front of her. Mr. Mu, how about seeing the North Gate when the gate opens tomorrow morning? She discussed and raised her finger and swore, "I'm sure I won't be late!"
"It's not good."
"..." Xinyi looked at the little brother surnamed Mu, which was really difficult to deal with. Suddenly, he thought of his master. When he met difficult characters... such as Yong Mingyan, the tricks he used...? No matter how bad it is, it will work! She looked up at 45 degrees, pointed to the direction of the sky, and shouted, "Look! Grey machine!!"
After saying that, turn around and run! But before he ran out, the cuffs were pulled back tightly.
"Don't fool me with this little trick." He smiled at the corners of his mouth and said faintly.
Fuck!? This is not scientific, Master!
Xinyi looked awkwardly at him and grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "The man can't accept it. I already have a boyfriend, really. It will be very troublesome for you to do this."
"..." Mu Fangjin's face suddenly changed. Xinyi seized this opportunity, broke away from his hand, turned around and ran away! In the end, he was left alone, looking at the direction of her running, and suddenly smiled and muttered, "Yijia Village, north of the city?"
