After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

"Brought it."

The servant presented two money boxes, one of which contained eight gold ingots of ten taels each neatly arranged; the other was smaller, containing a gold ingot of fifty taels and three gold ingots of ten taels each.

Eighty taels each, exactly.

Qin Yaoguang nodded and asked, "Where are the people from the two families?"

"They dare not come to see the two princes, and beg me to tell them to release their young master."

"Row."

Qin Yaoguang called Hanlu over and instructed her carefully: "Go to the Plum Garden to find Guyu and ask her to release the Seventh Young Master of the Yu Family and the Second Young Master of the Hu Family. Take them out and hand them over to their families personally."

"Make sure they didn't pick up the wrong person, then come back to see me."

With a dozen people, there is a chance of making mistakes.

If it was White Dew or Grain Rain, she wouldn't need to give so many instructions.

Hanlu obeyed the order and left.

Qin Yaoguang looked at the two money boxes and asked Lanxiang to take them.

Lanxiang didn't dare and just kept looking at Chunning.

Chun Ning hurriedly said, "Imperial sister, I cannot accept this money. You have been busy all day today, worrying about me. It is because of you, Imperial sister, that the Queen Mother was willing to send people to deliver letters to the various palaces for the ransom."

She knew it very well.

If she returned to the princess's mansion alone, not to mention whether she could discover Lu Yi's actions, even if she really saw him, she would most likely be deceived by Lu Yi.

In fact, maybe he is still blaming himself now, thinking that it is all his fault and that he should not have been so rash as to go to the plum garden on his own.

Without the imperial sister, this money would be impossible.

Qin Yaoguang shook his head and said, "What belongs to you is yours."

It was a coincidence that she came across this incident, but asking for a ransom was just an extra step to make the matter worse. She never thought of taking advantage of her own sister.

Chun Ning's status was not as good as hers, so Qin Yaoguang thought that with this gold as private property, Chun Ning's life would be better.

The value of gold has been different throughout the dynasties, sometimes expensive and sometimes cheap.

She roughly calculated that one tael of gold from the Dajing Dynasty was equivalent to ten thousand yuan in modern times, which was still a good value.

If Xue Rensu's five hundred taels could be brought, the total amount of gold from so many young masters would be more than one thousand taels, which is equivalent to directly owning a huge asset of ten million in cash.

Even for a princess, it was an unimaginable amount of money.

They were of noble status, and their main sources of income were the fiefs and imperial estates granted to them, as well as various industries and shops. These incomes were long-term and provided for their daily expenses.

Just like modern billionaires, the assessed net worth is composed of stocks, bonds, fixed assets, etc., and cash is only a small part of it.

With this money, Chunning can do whatever he wants.

Chun Ning certainly understood, but she refused.

She picked up the two boxes and placed them in Madam Deng's hands, saying sincerely, "Sister, you know me well. I'm worried that even if I take it, I won't be able to keep it."

Chun Ning was worried that once Qin Yaoguang left, she would be deceived by Lu Yi again.

Thinking of Lu Yi, she could not harden her heart.

Qin Yaoguang looked at her quietly, shook his head slightly, and said: "Chun Ning, you still have to rely on yourself."

Chun Ning avoided her gaze and whispered, "Royal sister, please give me some time."

She couldn't accept this gold no matter what.

Qin Yaoguang thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll keep it for you first. Whenever you need it, you can send someone to get it."

"no no!"

Chun Ning refused repeatedly, almost crying, and said, "Just think of it as a thank-you gift from my sister!"

In her heart, no matter how much gold she had, not a single cent of it had anything to do with her.

Qin Yaoguang sighed and thought: She must be a princess, who has never lacked money since childhood, but because of her limited experience, she doesn't know the importance of money, so she would refuse the door so casually.

There was really no way to deal with her, so Qin Yaoguang had to say: "Then half. If you insist, I will send everyone back."

"Okay, half and half." Chun Ning agreed quickly, fearing that she would go back on her word.

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "I was originally going to look around the shops in the East and West Markets to find a suitable one that sells Leyang paper and pens. Since my sister has left the gold with me, I will use it to invest in it. What do you think?"

"If we make money in the future, my sister will get a share of the profits."

"Okay, okay, sister, you can do whatever you want with it." Chun Ning didn't take it to heart at all.

After agreeing on this, Qin Yaoguang asked Nanny Deng to put away the money box and looked at the interview scene which was nearing its end.

With the precedent of the two skinny horses, the Leyang paper in Chunfen's hand was already filled with more than ten pages of notes.

Every woman seized this opportunity to tell everyone she was proficient in, and racked her brains to tell everyone what she could do, for fear of missing out on anything and being looked down upon.

The room gradually became quiet. Qin Yaoguang took the notebook from Chunfen's hand and read it through carefully.

She discovered that the women of the Dajing Dynasty were truly multi-talented.

Most women can do embroidery, make clothes and shoes, make cakes, soups and tea, and some are good at calligraphy, painting and chess, some are proficient in playing several musical instruments, some are good at making flower dew and flower water facial cream, and some are good at raising flowers and fish...

There was even a talented translator! She was proficient in the languages ​​of several tribes in Beirong, because she was the daughter of one of the tribe leaders. After the tribe was defeated in the war, she became a slave and was sold to a brothel in the capital because of her extraordinary appearance.

Their skills are really comprehensive.

Qin Yaoguang felt a little embarrassed.

If she hadn't been reincarnated as a princess and absorbed the memories of the original owner, she would have been a waste in the Great Jing Dynasty...

Just then, she heard a distinct "grunt" sound in the house.

Qin Yaoguang raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a plump woman with a red face, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, not daring to get up.

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said to Chun Ning, "Send someone to bring more cakes and tea. I'm hungry too."

She forgot that these women probably had never eaten anything.

She is not a saint, but she has a modern soul and cannot stand by the suffering before her without offering a helping hand.

Just like when she was looking at the five children, she knew that being anxious to keep them well fed and clothed would arouse suspicion, but she still did it, otherwise she would feel guilty.

It's just a piece of cake.

After giving the order, Qin Yaoguang held up the notebook in her hand and said, "I will only ask the following questions once."

She slowly scanned the faces of every woman present and said, "Are there any lies in what is recorded here? If you write something you don't know in order to find a better way out, I will charge you with deceiving your master and hand you over to Jingzhao Prefecture for investigation."

"If you remembered it wrong or mixed it up, it's not too late to correct it now."

Qin Yaoguang never thought of killing him with one blow.
