Chapter 37 A big silver ingot
Households generally use copper coins and broken silver, and even complete small silver crocks are rare. If they can make a silver-inlaid hairpin for their daughter, it is an amazing event and can show off when they see others.
Mr. Huang is not short of money, but there are three jars of ten taels of silver buried in his house. But it is the first time I have seen such a large invoice of silver.
Xin Tianyou said coldly:
"Mr. Huang, you are not a good thing. You took advantage of the danger and bought six acres of land from Mr. Xia at an extremely low price. But everything goes one thing. Since the house is not sold, the deposit will of course be refunded to you."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed a piece of silver ingot and threw it in front of Mr. Huang.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. My throat was itchy and I didn’t dare to speak, so I was confused.
No way, such a scary ingot of silver is actually made of flour?
General Huang was skeptical, picked up the silver and weighed it, and his face changed drastically. He shouted to the butler, "Go away quickly", and hurried into the mule cart, not daring to stay for one more second.
Seeing that the employer left, six craftsmen hurriedly packed up their things.
"Wait a minute."
Xin Tianyou urged his horse to come over and asked, "Mr. Huang asked you to smuggle the house, how much does it cost?"
The craftsman in charge said:
"Young Master, we pushed down the house, separated some useful things such as bricks, stones, rafters, etc., transported and sorted the ground. We had to work hard for three days, only four taels and five cents of silver, and we were responsible for a lunch meal."
"Okay, I ask you to repair this old house. How much does it cost?"
"Young Master, are you going to make a major repair or a minor repair?"
"A major repair, but don't change it, just be strong, and at least ensure that it will not fall for a hundred years."
The craftsmen talked for a while and the leader said:
"The foundation of the house is very solid. If you don't need too expensive materials to repair it, you only need twenty-five taels."
"Okay, I'll give you forty-five taels. There is a condition that you must come here to check once a month within ten years. If you find any small problems, you will deal with them in time."
The craftsmen were overwhelmed by surprise and bowed their hands.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Mr.. We are from the neighborhood village. We must come and take a walk around if we have any problems. If no one takes care of the house, it will really rot quickly..."
Xin Tianyou leaned over and handed over the silver ingot that had broken off a corner and said, "Okay, let's check the situation today and start working tomorrow."
The craftsman, who was led, solemnly put the silver ingots into his arms and surrounded him into the old house of the Xia family like stars.
Such a large ingot of silver must be chiseled with a chisel after returning, twisted off with a scissors, and carefully weighed the small scale to make it easier to use, otherwise it will not be spent at all.
Seeing the craftsmen entering the house in a mess, Wang Er, who was left aside, looked at the boy with a bulging eyes, and from the corner of his eyes, he looked at the bulging bag beside the saddle.
Xin Tianyou took off the purse at his waist, took out two silver turtles from it and stuffed them into his arms, leaving the scabbard and handle to create the "wolf teeth". Then he handed the purse over and said:
"You don't have the ability to protect yourself and have no self-discipline. If you spend too much money, you will be bad."
Wang Er weighed the purse in his hand, feeling it was very light. He quickly opened the tie mouth and saw only four crocks. He was disappointed and pulled down his face and said:
"Young Master, if you want to buy this old house, you will have to pay at least fifty taels. The deed has been given to you, and everyone present can witness it. These four taels will be used as deposit."
Xin Tianyou sighed and said:
"I'll go to Niujiaotang in the southern suburbs for a while and leave a hundred taels of silver..."
The so-called starting price on the ground is to pay back the money on the spot. Wang Er didn't think about it, his head was shaking like a rattle, and said:
"No, no, I have to be fifty taels...ah...that...that..."
He suddenly realized that the other party was talking about a hundred taels, and he was incoherently confused and counted breaths. He was so thick-skinned that he immediately changed his mouth.
"For the sake of the young master's generous position, one hundred taels is just one hundred taels. But the deposit of four taels of silver cannot be counted."
Xin Tianyou smiled and said:
"Okay, you can get that one hundred taels of silver by finding Sun Shuan, the head of the coroner team. However, at most, you can get two taels at a time, once a month."
Wang Eryi was stunned and said quickly:
"I lost a lot of interest slowly like this. Otherwise, I might as well discount the price and pay 80 taels at a time? Young Master, you have taken a big advantage."
"Tsk, there is no need to discuss it. Do you think clearly? "
"You must, why don't you? Young Master, I wonder if you are a friend of Brother Xia's friend..."
"It doesn't matter who I am. From now on, please take care of yourself."
After Xintian lobbying, he drove away.
Wang Er is more unreliable than his master, but he does not have the ability of his master, so it would be strange if he is not poor. One hundred taels of silver can make him live for a long time. Even if he gives one thousand taels, this guy will be defeated in a blink of an eye and will attract the covetous thieves.
The silver ingots in the bag were swaying and knocking against their knees, making Xin Tianyou feel really burdened, so he was ready to leave them to Sun Shuan.
No one thinks that money is too little. When he first came out of the mountain, he didn't know where to go, but now it is similar to the sand and gravel everywhere. He can get as much as he wants.
That boy Li Hua was so tired that he spit out ten thousand taels of silver, and he was bored. What Xintianyou needed was at least one million gold. He was preparing to take the Leyou House to take action first when participating in the spring exam. It is said that the royal city hides dragons and tigers, and they are extremely extravagant. He should not disappoint himself, and he can squeeze out a lot of oil and water.
Today I went to Niujiaotang and was preparing to leave a shocking sign.
The fear of the old coroner is not groundless. He will never be ruthless when he can murder Xia Xing, mobilize the characters from Zhennan Army, and kill their family.
There was a quarrel in the old house. Xin Tianyou, who was free from the horse, suddenly shook his body.
Wang Er yelled:
"Hey, hey, stop... The young master said, I will be in charge of repairing the old house. Hurry up, hand over the money to me for safekeeping. Then, according to the progress, I will pay it to you in every detail."
The craftsman in the lead travels around the world, how can he be fooled? He said coldly:
"Wang Erlang, we are hired by the young master, not by you. What should we do? The young master must speak in person."
Wang Er argued for a few words, and was speechless, and slammed the door and left angrily.
Someone whispered: "Head, I see that the young master looks a bit like Wang Er, maybe he is really a relative..."
Another interruption: "The nephew looks like an uncle."
Someone lowered his tone and said mysteriously:
"I heard from a relative in Dengfeng County that Xia Xing had gone to cultivate immortality. The young master just tore up silver with his hands and waved a soft horse whip like a steel knife and erected like a stick. It was clearly a method of immortality. Could it be that the couple had achieved success in practicing Taoism and sent their son to their hometown to take a look..."
The craftsman in the lead said:
"Don't gossip, be careful to cause trouble... However, the young master does not look like Xia Xing, but his temperament is really similar. Twenty-six years ago, I also studied in school for half a year and was classmates with Xia Xing. He is taciturn and does not like to interact. Once he speaks, he often makes people have nothing to say."
