Chapter 39
-
Shen Yinlu took the two ingots of gold in his hand, went to Lin Yan, and handed one ingot.

"I don't want it." Lin Yan was angry.

Shen Yinlu corrected: "It's not for you. You can exchange it for silver for me and take 100 taels to Juyuan Building to hand over the promise."

The auction will be held in two days. If you don't hand it in, this glass bead will not be included in the auction.

When mentioning this, Lin Yan's face clearly lost its anger and he hesitated:

"That...deposit, I paid."

"Huh?" Shen Yinlu frowned and said, "When did you pay it? Where did you get the money?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan opened his mouth to explain, but Shen Yinxi suddenly figured it out and stood up:

"That is to be returned to others. Why did you steal it?"

If you want it, you don't want it, and if you don't want it, you don't want it, and you even take it out and keep a little bit. This makes the Sixth Prince and the others think.
"What do you mean by stealing!" Lin Yan stood up, "To be honest, those are thank you gifts. You deserve them. I just kept 100 taels!"

If it weren't for the prince, they would have had ten boxes of gold, silver and jewels, and they would have had enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Handing over 100 taels for the glass beads to be auctioned and getting some more silver would be just a little icing on the cake.
Shen Yinlu disagreed: "That's not what you did."

Lin Yan argued with him: "Yesterday was the deadline for handing it over. If you don't think it's appropriate, just treat it as a loan. If you get the money from the auction later, you can just pay it back!"

The creases on Shen Yinlu's brow deepened, full of displeasure, and he wanted to say something else. Du En stepped forward and stood between the two of them, admitting his mistake nicely:

"It's my fault too. I should have informed you last night."

He and Lin Yan packed it together, and saw that Lin Yan took the silver, but Lin Yan said that it was used to pay the deposit, so he remained silent.

Shen Yinxi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and replied:
"No wonder you, forget it, I know you are too."

She wanted to give up, but before she finished speaking, Lin Yanhui got the wrong idea and was also playing with his temper. Now hearing that Shen Yinlu easily forgave his accomplice Du En, she felt even more angry.

"Okay, I steal money, I'm a villain. How long have you been in the Prince's Mansion, and how quickly did you learn to be so condescending that you look down on everywhere?"

Shen Yin was furious: "Lin Yan!!"

Hearing Shen Yinge call him by his first name and last name, no matter how strong his temper was, he was already extinguished at this moment.

Lin Yan subconsciously wanted to admit his mistake and try to coax him, but Du En, who was caught in the middle, started to give him a bad look. He said to him half in a friendly voice, and half in an unhappy voice:

"Speak less!"

Lin Yan looked at Du En, and then at Shen Yinxi, who was blushing with anger. He was being held up. He couldn't lower his face to ask for help in front of Du En, so he could only turn away angrily——

Du En looked at Lin Yan's back and thought it was a child having a tantrum.

When he looked at Shen Yinlu on his right, he realized that his red face was filled with tears of grievance.

Du En only felt his breathing stopped, and his heartbeat rhythm was disrupted.

Just as he was thinking, Shen Yin turned his lower lip and muttered a curse: "Idiot Lin Yan."

"Huh?" Doen was forced to retract his newly emerged feelings, a little confused.

Is it some kind of curse word?
Shen Yinlu ignored Du En and went back to the room by himself.

She was lying on the bed, holding two gold ingots in her hands. She was hurt and annoyed when she told Lin Yan that she was pretending to be noble.
But before she could feel aggrieved and angry for a while, a reminder that did not belong to her mind suddenly appeared——

Shen Yinwen went to the backstage of the live broadcast, and a system prompt was pinned to the top.

Yes. Mission?

Want her to kill Chen Yuanxin?

From now on, there will be new tasks released on NO.20 every month. Before the next task is released, if you do not complete the current task, you will suffer backlash.
What do you mean?
Will there be backlash if it is not completed?

Does it mean that her life will be taken back by then?

But how could the system issue the task of killing Chen Yuanxin?

It's not that she rejects this mission, she's just concerned about it, wondering what kind of mission the system will issue next time.
What if she is asked to kill innocent people, or if there is some difficulty in reaching the sky?
Her mind was filled with questions and puzzles. Unfortunately, the system did not have any after-sales customer service. No matter how confused she was, she could only digest it slowly by herself——

Chen Yuanxin, the Prince of Hell is urging you to accept you as soon as possible. Please cherish the comfort and ease in front of you!
-
Two days later.

I don’t know if it’s because Juyuan Tower only holds an auction in March. Today, all the streets in the city are extremely lively, especially in the streets near Juyuan Tower. There are also several pairs of foreigners wearing different clothes. Stroll around.
Lin Yan and Du En followed Shen Yinluo, carrying large and small bags, as if celebrating the New Year, touching and buying everything they saw.

Shen Yinlu walked along the street and entered a clothing store.

The shopkeeper was a very discerning man. He handed the customers in front of him to the shop assistants and walked towards Shen Yinwen who was looking at the women's clothes in the shop. He asked with a smile:
"Master, are you going to buy it for your family?"

Shen Yinwen's hand touching the clothes paused, and the light in his eyes went back, "I'm not buying it, I'm just looking around."

Since she is known as a disciple of Zhongjing Yaoxian, she may not be able to wear women's skirts for a long time.
The shopkeeper introduced: "Then take a look at the newly arrived Gaonan Hanjin in the store. This material is smooth and cool. It will also look good when made into underwear or underwear in summer, or embroidered with some patterns on satin."

Shen Yinxi couldn't help but touch the plate of brocade brought by the shopkeeper. As soon as he touched the material, the shopkeeper's hand sank a little lower and he said carefully:
"Sir, this Gaonan Hanjin is precious. The pulp of your fingers is rough and may damage the satin surface. Please touch it with the back of your hand."

He saw that the young master was accompanied by two servants and bought many things, so he thought he was a rich man.

But when this hand is stretched out, the knuckles are slightly thick and wrinkled, and it looks like rough hands that have been working since childhood.
Shen Yinlu looked a little embarrassed and did not extend his hand after he stopped it.

Lin Yan said: "No matter how good the brocade is, it is meant for people to wear. How much does it cost to not let people touch it?!"

The shopkeeper remained respectful and polite: "What the young master said is that this Han brocade just arrived yesterday, and there are only three pieces left, each worth 13 taels of gold."

"Thirteen taels!!" Lin Yan opened his mouth and exclaimed.

13 taels of gold, why don’t you go and grab it!

The total of their four ingots of gold is only 80 taels. They dare to ask for [-] gold for this piece of cloth. How crazy is it!
He has to consider 13 taels of silver.

When Lin Yan shouted, the shopkeeper lost his temper, knowing that they couldn't afford it.

"Fuck, let's go!" Lin Yan shouted to Shen Yin to leave.

Shen Yinwen didn't move.

Even though it was just a light touch, it was enough to know that the material was indeed slippery.

"Can you give it to me by the feet?"

The shopkeeper pretended to be hesitant, and then asked: "What do you want to do?"

"Well, let's make a first server!"

"What style requirements do you have? What kind of embroidery pattern do you want?"

"Just use the normal style. Just embroider the pattern. Just embroider a rabbit on the hem."

"Rabbit?" The shopkeeper has probably never heard of rabbits on men's robes, especially outer robes.

Shen Yinlu didn't understand and asked: "What? Is it bad?"

"Oh no, I will ask the embroiderer to draft the embroidery sample and send it to your house for you to review. Come with me over here and measure your length!" The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to lead him to the back room.

Shen Yinlu didn't move: "It's not me, it's for my brother."

"Then do you know how tall your brother is?"

Shen Yinxi was stunned for a moment, and he casually stretched his hand to the top of his head to make gestures. His hand was not straight enough, so he stepped on his toes and said:

"About that high!"

Shen Yinlu's comparison made the shopkeeper look up. He must be over eight feet tall!

Although he didn't know everything about the young masters in the capital, it seemed that there weren't many with such a superior height.
"How about your shoulder width and chest size, sir?"

Shen Yinlu shook his head.

"Then let's do this. You pay some deposit, and I will take the tailor and the embroidery manuscript to your house the next day, and give it to your brother to measure carefully."

Shen Yinlu lied: "I don't want my brother to know. Let's do this. You tell me what you want to measure, and I'll give it to you after I count it."

"That's okay, but if there are any errors, don't blame us!"

"Ah."

After saying that, Shen Yinlu left 20 taels of silver and left with Lin Yan and Du En——
-
Lin Yannan looked at the face and felt almost suffocated.

Why don’t you spend so much money to give it to His Highness the Crown Prince?
What are you talking about, brother?
He was standing next to her in such a living form, so he was blind and couldn't see, right?
Why can't she think of giving him something?

Du En, who was walking in parallel, naturally saw Lin Yan's jealous and ugly expression. Although he also had some sour food, he was not like Lin Yan.
It was said that the clothes were made to be given to His Highness the Crown Prince, but Shen Yinlu's body length seemed to be a little too high.-
Juyuan building.

The appearance of Juyuan Tower is shaped like the Buddhist Eight Treasures Pagoda. It occupies eight corners. There are mythical beasts carved in different jade in each direction, and there are octagonal copper bells underneath to ward off evil spirits.
Not to mention gold, lacquer and jade, the wood used in its high-rise buildings is said to be all Dian Yin wood, which is not afraid of fire or moisture, can last for thousands of years, and is extremely strong.

Regardless of the furnishings inside, just building this seven-story building costs a lot of money.

Until now, who is the master behind Juyuan Tower is still a big unsolved mystery in the capital.

Shen Yingu and Lin Yan held their faces, and An Sheng was fascinated when Du En said there were many rumors and rumors behind the Juyuan Building.

After saying so much, Du En only said one sentence in the end:
"No matter who the owner is behind Juyuan Tower, he is still a businessman who makes money. He is engaged in trading. The rest has nothing to do with us."

Shen Yinlu didn't notice it. She poured Doen a cup of tea and said:

"If it is true, as you said, that Juyuanlou has many officials from the DPRK and the Central Government to support him, then if we have a good relationship with Juyuanlou, isn't it equivalent to relying on a big tree?"

If something happens, can you at least help spread the word, find connections or something?

No matter what year or month, someone can have some friendship and friendship, sometimes it is better than money!

There was some reluctance on Du En's eyebrows: "Businessmen are treacherous and dishonest. Small business owners only want to make profits, not to mention the status of Juyuan Building. I'm afraid you won't get anything good from dealing with them."

To be able to have such a revenue from the view of the building, and to be on good terms with the rich and powerful in the capital, this owner is so thoughtful!

If it's of no use, people won't spend any time trying to talk to you.

Shen Yinlu thought for a while: "That's right."

She originally thought that if she was short of money later, she would buy some things from the store to exchange money with Juyuanlou.
That's right, she made this glass bead so mysterious and rare that after it is auctioned today, it will definitely not be sold again in the near future.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, and as Du En said "come in," a young man of twelve or thirteen years old came in with several servants carrying wine and food——

"Are you the sellers of glass beads that will be auctioned tonight?" the young boy asked in a childish voice.

When he said that, the young man had already sat down.

Shen Yinlu and the other three glanced at each other, and Lin Yan said, "Who are you?"

The young man replied: "I am the son of Mr. Juyuanlou's accountant, and my name is Lu Sanqi."

Shen cited the three of them: "."

What is the accountant's son doing with them?
While there was silence, several servants had already put all the food and wine on the table.

Lu Sanqi took the chopsticks first, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it into his mouth, and said while eating:

"Grandpa Chen said that your origins are unknown. You may have come to the capital to sell stolen goods."

The three of them looked at each other again, and couldn't help but become nervous about the little kid's words.

I heard that Juyuanlou never cares about any other business and keeps its transactions strictly confidential, so they dare to say that this glass bead was buried with King Xihan.
Why do you care about their identities again?

Shen Yinlu asked tentatively: "Is the Grandpa Chen you are talking about Manager Chen?"

Lu Sanqi agreed.

As if coaxing a child, Shen Yinlu put a piece of ribs into Lu Sanqi's bowl, softened his voice and coaxed:

"Then what else did your Grandpa Chen say?"

Lu Sanqi put the ribs in his mouth and replied vaguely while biting them:

"Gone."

"No more?" Shen was stunned.

Since you guessed that they were grave-digging bandits, didn't you say how to deal with them?
Or what to do about this?

"Well, it's gone."

Lin Yan: "Then what are you doing here?"

Look at his greasy mouth, could it be that he came here to grab a delicious meal when he was short of food on weekdays?

Lu Sanqi said: "I want to see you all. Where are you digging graves? Take me with you. I want to go too."

"What are we taking you for?" Lin Yan was disgusted.

"I heard people say that this tomb is very thrilling. There are mechanisms everywhere and strange beasts. I am itching to go on an adventure with you. Good brother, just take me with you. Don't look at me. I'm so flexible, I...I'll do somersaults for you!"

After Lu Sanqi finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks. Before Shen Yingu could even scream, he was already doing two somersaults on the ground.

Good guy, this must be some childlike skill. If it weren't for the small size of the hall, it would be like doing acrobatics. I can do many flips!
"How is it?" Lu Sanqi stood still and grinned sweetly: "I will definitely not hold you back!"

"This is not a matter of holding back"

Just when Shen Yinqi was about to explain to Xiao Sanqi, Du En interrupted and said:

"We are not grave robbers. We got this bead by accident. We can't take you to dig any graves."
