Chapter 229 Taking Advantage
Fifty-one thousand five hundred taels is not a small amount. Xie Fengyue looked at Lin Qingping who came empty-handed and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Lin Dalangjun, did you exchange it for a banknote?"
Lin Qingping covered his mouth with his fist and laughed unnaturally: "Of course it is."
After that, he fell silent.
Although Xie Fengyue was curious, she could bear it. Lin Qingping didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything either.
I even thought about it. Is it possible that Mr. Lin Dalang wants to default on his debt today?
The two of them were in a stalemate in silence.
This neither embarrassing nor embarrassing situation finally ended with a snap of Lin Qingping's fingers.
His personal attendant came in with a box in his arms, and then opened it calmly. The golden gold ingots were neatly stacked, and each one seemed to dazzle in Xie Fengyue's heart.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt inexplicably strange, what did this person mean? Wasn't he already ready? Why did he still have a stalemate with her for a while?
"The total amount of silver here is 41,500 taels." When Lin Qingping said this, there was a hint of shame in his tone.
Xie Fengyue waited patiently for his next words. From her point of view, Lin Qingping was not such a treacherous person.
"The fact of this prescription came suddenly. The money in the house can't be collected within half a day. Yesterday I saw that the girl was interested in the art of disguise. Why don't I use these twenty masks as a mortgage of ten thousand taels with Girl, you are so good." Lin Qingping said this carefully.
He was afraid that Xie Fengyue would think that he was taking advantage of him, so he immediately answered: "Mask making is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it cannot be made with just one recipe. It requires the cooperation of model makers and skin painters, so I don't use the recipe. If there is no ancestral skill, then the prescription is just a piece of empty paper to the girl. ”
Xie Fengyue pondered for a while, then changed her topic and asked doubtfully: "Why can't we get it together?"
Of course she was confused. The Lin family has been stationed in Shengjing for several generations. Although it is indeed difficult to collect tens of thousands of taels of silver in half a day, for the family of the imperial censor who is one of the three princes, this is But it is not a difficult number.
Lin Qingping struggled for a while and finally spoke: "Lin's Tuntian County found a large number of refugees revolting and spent a lot of money on purchasing equipment and armaments."
"The rebel army?" Xie Fengyue waved the fan lightly in her hand and continued: "Hasn't this news reached Shengjing yet?"
Lin Qingping felt ashamed now, almost answering all questions: "Probably in the next few days, the DPRK will get the news that there will be a severe drought this year. It has never rained since the beginning of summer, and Shengjing is still like this , not to mention the Southland, there may be more refugees in the future, and the Lin family is well prepared.”
Xie Fengyue knew the reason and was no longer embarrassed. When she saw the disguise mask for the first time yesterday, she did have some thoughts in her mind, and she was even more curious about the family's treasury.
She clapped her hands outside and called Ye Wan in who had been waiting.
"Please tell her about the prescription in detail."
As soon as Xie Fengyue relaxed, Lin Qingping also breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of sudden change of heart about what he had promised was really against his style.
While the two were explaining each other, Xie Fengyue reached out and took out a book from the box, which contained masks as thin as cicada wings. She flipped through the book lightly, including men and women. There are old and young, which is enough to show that Lin Qingping really puts his heart into it.
If these things were really counted, Xie Fengyue still took advantage.
This kind of delicate thing is not like her prescription, which can be completed with only the precise dosage and Ashikabi's preparation.
After Ye Wan explained to him, Xie Fengyue asked Zhezhi to send him out of the house in person.
At the end of the day, Ye Wan suddenly asked: "Did the prescription that the girl sent before come from the Lin family?" At this mention, Xie Fengyue remembered that there was Liu Ying in the Lin family.
"Dalangjun, how is the investigation of Liu Ying's matter going?"
Lin Qingping sighed slightly: "According to what the girl said, I sent someone to check Zhou Jiamin. They also responded to the letter last night. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with her. It's just that she met someone from Rong Anbo's house at night. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wan interrupted: "There's nothing wrong with that prescription, it's just a penetration enhancer."
"What is a penetration enhancer?" Lin Qingping's thoughts were suddenly pulled back by these words.
"To put it bluntly, it's just a supplement. Some people's bodies can't absorb it well, so they need this medicine as a primer to transform." Ye Wan replied calmly.
"It's just that if this medicine promotes good things, it will naturally have countless benefits for the people who take the medicine, but if it is bad," Ye Wan did not make it clear.
Lin Qingping was not a fool. He immediately thought of the key to the problem and asked in a hoarse voice: "What if it's blood?"
"Then check the blood to see if there is any problem."
After Ye Wan finished speaking, Xie Fengyue suddenly said: "Maybe Liu Ying is also the one who was kept in the dark."
Lin Qingping's heart went cold. He checked his grandmother's meals and the medicines used in the room, but he never checked what Liu Ying herself used.
He really had a brain in vain, and his temples were painful.
Xie Fengyue remembered the key point of this matter and added: "When the old lady gets sick, there must be an inducement. Lang Jun can check whether Zhou Jiamin sent any sachets, flowers or the like in those days. Those things are useless. Poison can complement everything Liu Ying uses.”
Lin Qingping clasped his hands in his fists: "Thank you both for reminding me. I hope you will help me take good care of my sister. I will definitely thank you again if you understand this!"
Xie Fengyue waved her fan: "I'm not helping you, it's just that Lin Qishu is too noisy in my place. Please handle the affairs in your house quickly and take her home safely."
As soon as she mentioned Lin Qishu, Lin Qishu's voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother~ are you still in there?"
The three of them looked at each other before they could speak.
The door was pushed open, and Lin Qishu jumped in. Then she ran to Lin Qingping and gave him a bear hug: "Brother, I miss you so much~"
She is delicate and soft, acting like a little girl.
Xie Fengyue smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Lin Qingping also softened his expression and whispered softly: "I know, I know. If you stay with your sister Yue for a few more days, I will personally come to take you home. Little Shu'er, be good."
Lin Qishu rubbed his arm affectionately, but pretended to be angry: "Humph, when the time comes, I want three sets of Baozhuang Pavilion heads and faces, and ten sets of Yun Zhijin's skirts."
"Okay, okay, buy, buy, buy, buy everything. Big brother will buy everything our little Shu'er wants."
Lin Qingping smiled lovingly, with joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.
Xie Fengyue looked at the scene in front of her and felt warm in her heart.
This was the harmonious situation between brother and sister, unlike her and Weining, who looked like life-or-death enemies when they met.
Hey~
Wei Ning is about to act like a monster again, and Yue Girl's peaceful days are finally over.
