I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 491 Eighty-eight taels is a lot of money!
As Wei Changtian's woman, Comrade Xiao Xu's status in Shuzhou is basically equivalent to that of a noble concubine in the imperial palace.

Such a noble "princess" has to pay to stay in the hotel, but what's the matter with being so fussy?

The key point is that she is still the big shopkeeper of Yingfengsheng, with a net worth of tens of millions, she is not short of money at all!
The treasurer of Jinyi didn't know what to say for a while, he just wondered if he was hallucinating.

But when he saw Xu Qingwan's serious face, which didn't seem to be joking, he finally swallowed, and hurriedly asked the clerk to fetch nine taels of silver, and then handed it to Xu Qingwan respectfully.

"Husband, madam, here is the money"

"Ah."

Xu Qingwan nodded, pinched a few pieces of broken silver vigorously, and only after confirming that they were all "real money" did she put it in her small baggage with satisfaction.

"."

Good guy!
Let's just say that you are too cautious?
If you lend me ten guts, I wouldn't dare to give you fake money!
Countless question marks suddenly popped up in the shopkeeper's heart, but he still had to maintain an extremely stiff smile on his face.

At this time, with a gust of breeze passing through the hall, Wei Changtian also happened to walk into the front hall of the inn.

"Wan'er, have you packed everything?"

He went straight to Xu Qingwan, smiled and said, "Okay, let's go straight away."

"Well, all right."

Xu Qingwan pointed to a few packages on the table: "I've put all your clothes away, too."

"Row."

Wei Changtian waved his hand, and immediately behind him, a guard stepped forward to pick up the package and walked out of the house.

"Then let's go, the sooner you leave, the sooner you can go back."

"it is good."

Comrade Xiao Xu nodded slightly, and then, holding his own little burden, he wanted to follow Wei Changtian into the car and return to Shuzhou City.

But after the two walked a few steps away, Wei Changtian suddenly turned around and walked back to the innkeeper who was still standing there, as if thinking of something, and casually took out a bank note from his pocket.

"Shopkeeper, these two days have delayed your business."

"You accept this silver ticket, and if there is more, it will be regarded as a reward."

"."

"Gollum."

The Adam's apple squirmed, and the innkeeper stared blankly at the words "one hundred taels of silver" on the bank note, then looked up at Xu Qingwan who was standing behind Wei Changtian with very "kind" eyes.
"Ah! Mr. Wei! This, this villain can't take this money!"

A howl suddenly sounded, and under Wei Changtian's puzzled eyes, the shopkeeper didn't even have time to wipe off the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and just waved his hands frantically.

"Husband, madam has already paid the room fee!"

"Is it?"

Wei Changtian looked back at Xu Qingwan, wondering why the shopkeeper's reaction was so weird.

But after seeing Comrade Xiao Xu's affirmative eyes, he was too lazy to think about these trivial matters.

"Fine."

Shaking his head, he put the banknote back in his chest.

Amidst the trembling sound of the shopkeeper saying "Young Master and Madam, walk slowly", the two quickly got into the carriage.

"."

"Why does the innkeeper seem a little trembling?"

After the carriage moved slowly, Wei Changtian casually asked Xu Qingwan, "How much money did you give him?"

"Six dollars."

Comrade Xiao Xu replied solemnly: "We stayed for two days, three dollars a day, a total of six dollars."

"This ha ha ha ha!"

Wei Changtian immediately understood why the shopkeeper had the reaction just now, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You can figure it out clearly."

"Of course."

Xu Qingwan nodded solemnly, not ashamed but proud and said: "Mrs. Wei said that businessmen just care about everything."

"You can't spend a penny that shouldn't be spent, and you can't save a penny that should be spent."

"Haha, are you so obedient to Wei Yanyu now?"

Wei Changtian laughed and joked, "What does she say?"

"Madam Wei is right."

Xu Qingwan defended in a low voice: "If what she said is unreasonable, then I won't listen."

"Really? What about me?"

Wei Changtian suddenly became interested, leaned forward and asked again: "If I ask you to do something that you think is wrong, will you do it?"

"Yes, I will."

Comrade Xiao Xu gave the answer without the slightest hesitation, and then saw Wei Changtian suddenly stretched out his hand in front of him.

"Give me one thousand taels."

"Oh"

Xu Qingwan nodded blankly, obediently untied the small bundle, counted out one thousand taels of silver and handed it to Wei Changtian.

Originally, she didn't intend to ask Wei Changtian what he was going to do, but seeing the latter's smirk, she couldn't help asking in a low voice:
"What do you want so much money for?"

"hey-hey."

Wei Changtian didn't answer directly, but just smiled and lifted the curtain of the car, and rushed to a guard who was accompanying him on horseback outside the car, and said, "Give this silver ticket to the shopkeeper of Fuyun Inn, and say that I rewarded you."

"Yes!"

The guard immediately took the bank note, turned his horse's head and galloped back towards the way he came.

But Comrade Xiao Xu in the car was dumbfounded at the moment.

She opened her mouth wide, and stretched out her small hand in the air, as if she wanted to "redeem" the banknote that had gone away.

What's more, perhaps because of being too impatient, tears welled up in his widened eyes.

Uh.
Wei Changtian, who originally wanted to make a joke, couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this, and hastily lifted up a stack of bank notes in his hand.

"Well, the bank note is still with me."

"Just kidding you, why are you still crying?"

"what?"

Xu Qingwan took the bank note in a daze, wiped away her tears and counted them carefully, then raised her head and asked in a low voice:
"Why, why is there one missing?"

"That... I just gave out one hundred taels."

Wei Changtian rubbed his nose, feeling a little guilty for no reason: "We stayed in the inn for two days, and he didn't make any business for two days, so it's not too much to give one hundred taels."

"."

Glancing at Wei Changtian, Comrade Xiao Xu took the remaining [-] taels back in the small bundle and counted the accounts with his fingers.

"That inn has only twenty rooms in total."

"Each room is three yuan per day, so even if it's full, it's only six taels, and it's only twelve taels for two days."

"It's good for you. I gave you an extra eighty-eight taels all at once."

"Do you know how much you can buy with so much silver?"

"."

Calculating with red eyes, Xu Qingwan looks like a wronged little daughter-in-law now.

He wanted to blame his husband for wasting money, but he couldn't bear it, so he could only try to make Wei Changtian understand how big a sum of eighty-eight taels of silver is by reasoning.

And Wei Changtian really felt more and more guilty the more he heard it, and even had the idea of ​​sending someone to get the one hundred taels back.

The only son of the Wei family, the "behind-the-scenes emperor" of Shu.

A daughter-in-law of the Wei family, the shopkeeper of Yingfengsheng.

Two big men who were worth at least tens of millions of dollars, at this time they were greatly regretted because of a mere eighty-eight taels of silver. This scene is so weird.

Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Xu is not really relentless. Seeing that the "educational purpose" has been achieved, he is relieved.

"Forget about the one hundred taels this time."

"But next time you won't be allowed to spend money like this, okay?"

"it is good!"

Seeing Xu Qingwan's aggrieved and pitiful look, Wei Changtian would never refuse, and hastened to reassure: "Don't worry! I will spend money carefully in the future! I will never spend a penny indiscriminately again!"

"Um"

Comrade Xiao Xu breathed a sigh of satisfaction first, and then added: "I just don't allow you to spend money indiscriminately, and you still have to spend the money that should be spent."

"I know"

Wei Changtian nodded, just about to say something else.

But at this moment, the carriage that was galloping suddenly started to slow down, and soon came to a complete stop.

Ok?
Wei Changtian frowned, opened the curtain and asked the driver.

"What's wrong? Why stop?"

"Son."

The coachman pointed to a figure in front of him who was walking towards this side in a hurry: "It's Mr. Chu."

Chu Xianping?
Why did he stop the car suddenly?
Wei Changtian realized in an instant that something extremely important must have happened, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Brother Chu!"

After getting out of the carriage, he simply took the initiative to meet him, frowning and asked, "What happened?"

"My lord, I just received a message from the Freemasonry."

Chu Xianping's expression was not ugly, but he spoke very fast.

"The Kuilong jade plaque you deposited in the Freemasonry suddenly became hot a quarter of an hour ago, and a line of small words appeared on the surface of the plaque."

"What?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback when he heard the words: "Is there a word?"

"Yes."

Chu Xianping nodded, and immediately whispered the content of that line of small characters.

"October eighteenth, Zishi, there are important matters to discuss."
