Chapter 225 Gold Mine
The next few days turned out to be exactly as Xia He remembered, with good weather for several days in a row.

Under Xia He's instruction, Hu Lao got his people ready early, and as soon as the lockdown was lifted, their men and horses could go to the surrounding towns to buy food as quickly as possible.

This day ushered in Xia Tingquan's 14th birthday.

Xia He got up early and went to the small kitchen to make shredded chicken noodles for Xia Tingquan.

As soon as Xia Tingquan arrived for breakfast, Xia He walked up to him with the noodles in person. "Brother Quan, happy birthday!"

Xia Tingquan looked at the noodles in her hand and felt that the fragrance was very attractive.

"You did it?"

Xia He nodded. "This noodle is called longevity noodle. If you eat this noodle, you will live a hundred years."

Xia Tingquan didn't believe in such nonsense, but it didn't stop him from being moved.

In all these years, this was the first time someone paid so much attention to his birthday.

It would be a lie to say that you are not moved.

Xia He put the noodles on the table and handed him the chopsticks.

Xia Tingquan went over to take the chopsticks, sat down in front of her boldly, and began to suck without looking.

Xia He looked at him nervously, and she didn't ask until he swallowed the first mouthful of noodles. "How about it?"

Xia Tingquan thought about it for a while, and praised it without hesitation. "taste good."

After speaking, he lowered his head again, raised the bowl, and continued to eat.

Xia He was also very happy to see that he was eating satisfactorily.

"Lanxin, Dongzi." Xia He called out the door.

Lan Xin and Dong Zi soon entered the room. "Miss, what's your order?"

Even Xia Tingquan, who was eating noodles, couldn't help looking up at her curiously.

Xia He said. "Today is the young master's 14th birthday. For the people in the big house, the person in charge will give you two taels of silver, and the others will give you one tael of silver to celebrate."

After hearing her arrangement, Xia Tingquan only felt pain in his flesh and muttered. "What a prodigal."

Dongzi and Lanxin were very happy after hearing Xia He's words, and they hurriedly said.

"The servant wishes the young master a happy birthday and a long life!"

"My servant wishes the young master a happy birthday, happiness and health!"

Next, Lan Xin and Dong Zi walked through every corner of the Third Courtyard, and they could hear the voices of people below wishing Xia Tingquan a happy birthday.

Xia Tingquan sat in the Nuan Pavilion and ate noodles. Hearing the congratulations from the slaves and maidservants outside, he felt his heart was full, and even his eyes couldn't help getting moist.

After he finished eating the noodles, Xia He handed him another box. "Here, a birthday present."

Seeing this box, Xia Tingquan couldn't help but think of the exact same box she gave him during the New Year's Eve.

On the night of New Year's Eve, when he went back, he opened the box and saw that lying inside was the title deed of a mountain.

Now, it is exactly the same box again, isn't it also a land deed?

Xia Tingquan took it and opened it to look at it on the spot.

I saw that there was still a piece of paper inside, there was no need to take it out, Xia Tingquan already knew that it was indeed a land deed.

Xia Tingquan took out the land deed and held it in his hand. "Sister, I'm still young, and I don't need to buy property yet! If you have money, buy more dowry for yourself!"

Xia He glared at him. "The mountain I gave you last time, I went to see it, it is suitable for growing medicinal materials; as for this time, it is not a mountain..."

Xia He approached his ear mysteriously. "Didn't you buy a jade mine for me last time? This is the news from your ninth brother. It is said that although it is not very big, it is a small gold mine."

"Gold mine!" Xia Tingquan barely bit his tongue.

Is something like a gold mine something they can think of?
"Don't worry." Xia He patted him on the shoulder. "Your ninth brother has taken care of everything for you. You can be your little benefactor with peace of mind!"

Xia Tingquan sighed lightly, and soon thought of another question. "Where did you get so much money?"

"From the New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, our fruits and vegetables are placed in the Ruyi Building. Shopkeeper Liang helped us earn a lot of money. Some time ago, we negotiated with Ruyi Building to supply them with fresh fruits and vegetables every day, and gave another A large deposit. The most important thing is the elixirs auctioned at the auction house, which have brought in a lot of money today." With this breakdown, Xia He also found that they had already moved away from worrying about three meals a day without knowing it. day.

Xia Tingquan is not stupid. "No matter how much you earn, it's probably not enough for you to buy a small gold mine."

The last time when he bought a jade mine, Steward Wang also gave him some information about the gold mine. He naturally knew that this small gold mine could not only be purchased by people of status, but also that the silver required for the purchase was not cheap. .

He only thought of one possibility. "Sister, you are lending money to brother Jiu again!"

Xia He's eyes drifted away, so he didn't look directly at Xia Tingquan. "It's not like you don't pay back if you borrow it."

"As expected, you borrowed it." Xia Tingquan was speechless for a moment.

They only paid off the loan last time, but they didn't expect to owe it again.

Xia He put his palms together, his thumbs twirling each other. "Didn't I think that this shop would disappear after passing through this village? I calculated that after the Pill House opens in a few days, all our income will be added up, and we should be able to pay off the money in less than half a year." money."

It's not that she doesn't know that this is bad, but when she heard Ye Jiu say this, she was moved.

That's a gold mine!Although it is not big, this kind of thing is something that can be encountered but not sought after.Especially for people like them, if it wasn't for Ye Jiu's help, Brother Quan would never even dream of having his own gold mine in his life.

Xia Tingquan felt a little sorry. "Sister, you don't have to do this for me. Besides, if you want to buy it, you should buy it under your own name."

"I just want to buy it for you. You don't know, when I heard Ye Jiu talk about it, the first thing I thought was, if we have this gold mine, if our Brother Quan is interested in someone with a higher family background Your daughter, you can marry her." Although Ye Jiu said she wanted to marry her, the gap between them was not small after all, and she often worried that she would really get what she wanted?

What she experienced, the hesitation, and the helplessness, she didn't want Brother Quan to experience it too.

"Who... who is going to get married!" Xia Tingquan seemed to be bitten by a cat's tongue. "Sister, you...don't talk nonsense."

As he said that, he ran out of the Nuan Pavilion with a blushing face.

Xia He froze on the spot.

Thinking of Xia Tingquan's blushing as if on fire when he ran out, he couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

A 14-year-old boy has a thin skin.

I remembered that when I met Ye Jiu, I was not much older than him now, but when I asked at that time, it was really not something that ordinary people would ask.

Xia He recalled Ye Jiu's reaction at that time, and suddenly thought: At that time, he thought I was a nymphomaniac, right?
Thinking about what he did at that time and the disgust on his face, isn't that what happened!
