Zombie girl reborn

Chapter 42

However, only Shishi came back half a day later, and she said that Xiaoyuan stayed there with other doctors to observe whether the plague had completely disappeared.

And since she didn't have anything to do, she came here first.

The magistrate probably also heard the good news, invited the four of us to the biggest restaurant in the city, and ordered a lot of rare delicacies. I secretly calculated that the money for this meal is probably enough for the people in the city to eat for half a year. It can be described as spending money like water.

During this meal, Ye Mengting was still ill, so of course she didn't go with us, but when she returned home, she sent her maid, Qiu'er, to bring me something.

I lifted the red silk and saw that there were dozens of ingots of gold neatly placed on the wooden tray.

She changed her posture from yesterday, and said respectfully: "Miss Su, my lady entrusted me to send these. Thank you for saving your life yesterday, and I hope you will accept it!"

When I saw the gold, my eyes were already shining, but I was also a little confused when I was excited. Could it be that Ye Mengting is crazy? She suddenly gave me so much money, which is really not her temper.

Could it be that this is another strategy she came up with?

After hesitating for a moment, I finally decided to take the gold. Anyway, she is not short of money, and I really have saved her life, so I feel at ease to take the money.

So I accepted it with a smile on my face, "Thank you Miss for me!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Master Ye said sullenly: "Miss Su is a cultivator, how could Ting'er give such a vulgar thing as a thank you gift, it's outrageous!"

Before I could say anything, Qiu'er hurriedly replied, "Master, it's none of your business, it's Miss Su who wants it herself. She told our lady before that she likes money, so she used this as a thank you gift, saying that Gongsun Gongzi and Fuyu Gongzi were also present when we were talking."

Gongsun Yun and the others didn't respond to her, but they didn't deny it either.

"Heh, people who are still cultivating Taoism are really vulgar!" There was a sudden snort from behind, I looked back, and saw Ye Xiao looking at me with contempt.

These words seemed to resonate with everyone, and the surrounding maids and servants looked at me no longer with respect, more or less contemptuous.

At this moment, I suddenly understood Ye Mengting's intentions. No wonder she readily agreed to give me silver taels, and now she has given me so much gold. It turned out that she just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, so that my image in Gongsun Yun's heart would plummet.

But I never think that love of money is wrong. If there is no money, sometimes even survival may be a problem.

Thinking of the past when I was a human being, I suddenly had a good idea.

I stopped Shishi who wanted to speak for me, handed the gold to her, and asked Ye Xiao with a smile, "Master Ye, do you like money?"

Ye Xiao said contemptuously: "Money and wealth are nothing more than worldly possessions. I'm not like you, and I'm obsessed with these things!"

"So you don't like it anymore, then do you know that your daily expenses are enough for ordinary people to eat for half a year. There are only a few Zhaoling Kingdoms as rich as Mr. Ye, and more people face food every day. After this day without a meal, money is the foundation of survival for them.”

Ye Xiao said disdainfully: "Those are just some untouchables, how can they be compared with me?"

"Untouchables? They are untouchables, but if it weren't for their hard work, how could you live a life with enough food and clothing? I'm afraid you can't even afford food and clothing!"

"You..." Ye Xiao was impatient.

"Compared to you saying that you don't like money while you keep squandering it, what's wrong with me admitting that I like money? Besides, don't people who practice Taoism need money? We walk in the human world, whether it's food, clothing, housing or transportation. How can there be no need to spend money to act chivalrously and righteously?"

Ye Xiao was speechless by what I said, but it was the fact that he was powerless to refute.

In the end, I could only watch me walk past him majestically with a gold ingot.

"Qian Ning, where did you get so much silver taels?" I was counting all the gold and silver I got recently, and Shishi beside me said in surprise.

Because the room was big enough, Shishi chose to share a room with me. She has just come here and is not familiar with the place, so I am naturally willing to bring her with me.

After telling her what happened during this period, Shishi looked like she hated iron and steel, "Isn't Gongsun Yun your fiancé? No matter how much money you give, how can you help others to get close to him?"

I said very calmly: "Don't worry, the methods I told her are useful for ordinary people, but they are useless for senior brothers. There are countless female nuns who like him in the Qingyang sect. If you do this, you can get rid of him." , his great-grandson must be older than Ye Mengting, who will get her!"
