A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 189

After putting on his clothes and shoes, he was about to leave the room, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw an unfamiliar baggage on the head of the bed, and was puzzled. There was no such baggage at home. After thinking about it, Zhao Mu might have brought it back. Li Xi walked over curiously. open it.

The baggage didn’t look too big. When I opened it, there were two changes of clothes and some odds and ends. There was even a pack of sour plums. She always liked to eat these miscellaneous things. Zhao Mu must have brought them to her. The plums were stuffed into the mouth, and a sweet and sour taste overflowed in the mouth, as if it went all the way to the heart.

"What is this?" She was about to pack up her luggage, but when she turned to the bottom, she found a small box. The box was not too big, and if she hadn't looked through it twice, she really didn't find it.

The small wooden box was very ordinary, Li Xi wondered what it would contain, and opened it on one side.

"This is..." What's inside really surprised Li Xi.

A cloth was placed inside the box, and a few pieces of silver were scattered on it, which looked like about ten taels.What made her wonder was how Zhao Mu had so much money and where did it come from.

"you're awake?"

While Li Xi was thinking, Zhao Mu pushed the door open and came in: "I've already prepared the meal, get up and eat."

"Amu, what's the matter with your money?" There was nothing wrong with asking, Li Xi asked holding up the box.

Zhao Mu's face didn't change, but he smiled: "You saw it, I was going to tell you."

As soon as he heard this, he knew that there was something else going on inside, so Li Xi became interested: "What's the matter?"

Walking over to sit next to Li Xi, he took the wooden box and poured the ten taels of silver into the palm of his hand. Under Li Xi's puzzled eyes, he peeled off the cloth at the bottom of the wooden box.

"Is it still hidden?" After seeing that there was something under the bottom, Li Xi didn't expect it either.

"Here you are." He took out the things below and piled up all the pieces of silver in front of Li Xi. Zhao Mu looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Give it, give it to me, give it all?" Looking at everything in front of him, Li Xi said in a joking tone: "You don't save some for yourself."

Zhao Mu stuffed all the things into Li Xi's hands, touched her cheek and said, "What's mine is yours, so naturally I want to give it to you."

"By the way, where did you get all this money, and this isn't a bank note?" The last thing Zhao Mu took out from the bottom of the box was a piece of colorful paper. Tickets, please forgive her country bumpkin, the biggest coin I have seen so far here is an ingot of silver, and the tickets have never been seen.

"This is a piece of 500 taels of silver, and there are 15 taels of these pieces of silver." Zhao Mu reported the amount of silver one by one.

Li Xi was dumbfounded, counting the money happily was happy, but what did her family say just now?
"Five, 500 taels?" Looking at Zhao Mu with wide eyes, the hand holding the thin piece of paper began to shake. It was really shaking. She didn't have auditory hallucinations. 500 taels is equivalent to a poor man suddenly With 500 million.

"You robbed." This was Li Xi's first reaction.

Zhao Mu looked at his daughter-in-law helplessly, and helplessly defended himself: "Can we think of something better?"

"I really can't imagine, where do you get so much money other than robbing." Li Xi didn't know that she had the attribute of a money fan before, but since she came here, she found that she has this skill, but no matter how much money is not She still understands the reason why righteous wealth is not desirable. If she doesn't figure it out after taking this money, she will definitely be in a panic.

"Didn't I go to suppress the bandits? I got it." Zhao Mu felt that he couldn't appease his wife without explaining the whole situation, so he could only do so.

"There is absolutely no trouble." Zhao Mu almost swore to the sky.

Li Xi was quite courageous, and after being shocked for a while, he didn't panic anymore. Back then, he was so happy that he had the golden finger of Lingquan and didn't fall asleep all day. After that, he didn't know how to live, so he had to be calm.

"Tell me honestly what you officials have been doing these past few days, and where the money came from. Don't worry if you don't know what I used it for."
