Chapter 99 Throwing the Bait
A tael of silver is a lot of money in this era.

It's just that this master is really rich, and she really knows how to make money when she calculates everywhere.

When Li Kan brought two cups of tea with a tea tray, Ding Shitou immediately took the seventeen coins that Zhao Jian had brought out last, and put them into the previous money pile, plus the 180 coins for breakfast, which was just one tael.

There are two hundred and two coins that can be collected in the purse.

Li Kan curled his lips when he heard Zhao Jian's order, with an awkward and patient expression on his face, but he immediately took out a silver note.

Then he swept the pile of loose money and the rest of Zhao Jian's hand into a cloth bag, and gave Ding Shitou a meaningful look when he left.

Ding Shitou stared back, very arrogant.

Li Kan pursed his lips and finally strode out of the room.

The master asked the boy to take a bath in the inner room, and locked the doors and windows to prevent them from entering, so they were naturally worried that the master was alone in the house with someone of unknown origin.

However, the master's order could not be disobeyed, so he and Han Yiqing were practically leaning against the door and window to eavesdrop on what was going on in the house, and Qin Ye even waited on the roof to prevent accidents.

So what did they hear?Women's screams!

They were so surprised that they couldn't help mobilizing their internal energy to eavesdrop, and they naturally heard all the things that the female voice Shi Shi said.

It turned out to be a little girl disguised as a man. The master couldn't see it, but could perceive the difference.

--I see.

All the followers and guards were stunned.

With such an interesting little girl by his side, the master's mood will be much better, and they will naturally not stop him.

So the master asked Li Kan to prepare some loose money, and Li Kan immediately got some taels of silver.

The master nestled in this small yard waiting for Ye Bai and Chen Shi to find a miracle doctor to cure their eyes. He was depressed every day and even seldom talked. Even if he went out to relax sometimes, he never saw a smile.

If they remember correctly, since leaving the capital and going south, every smile of the master has something to do with this girl named Ding Shitou.

Ding Shitou didn't know that Zhao Jian's subordinates already knew her secret, and they looked at her like this in their hearts.

At this moment, she put away the money bag, happily put all the bowls, chopsticks and plates on the table on the tray, and said very attentively: "Master, I will send the dishes to the kitchen."

"Shitou, you grew up among the people, can you sing little songs?" Zhao Jian ignored Ding Shitou's question and had another idea.

"... Folk?" Ding Shitou was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"I mean, you are an ordinary family in the south." Zhao Jian was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained, "I come from the north, and my family... is a bit big, so I don't need money."

Zhao Jian explained implicitly, and Ding Shitou finally understood and said, "Master is from a rich and noble family. You have never seen a girl from a small family, have you?"

"Exactly." Zhao Jian nodded quickly.

"How about other girls, Shitou doesn't know, Shitou can't." Ding Shitou explained quickly, she didn't want Zhao Jian to know that she could sing, otherwise she would still be able to leave?
Although singing to relieve this father's boredom may make more money, there will be endless troubles.

"Li Kan, bring ten taels." Zhao Jian suddenly ordered out the door.

Soon, ten taels of silver bills appeared on the table.

"Shitou, you are so smart, you know that your master is not in good health, and you have difficulty moving around here, so it's actually very boring, right?"

Zhao Jian drank tea leisurely, and said slowly: "Twelve taels, but I don't want to hear others sing."

Her voice is beautiful, just listening to her talking non-stop like a bird, I feel inexplicably relaxed, I don't know what will happen if I sing a little song?

Are Jiangnan women not good at these?

Whether she really can't or fake can't, he throws the bait now, it's up to her to decide.
