Baochai is a mermaid

Unexpectedly, Wei Chi didn't seem to see their earnest eyes, and said in a low voice that the sky would be gone soon, and before they could react, he flung his sleeves and left.

cabinet:"……"

The carriage quickly drove to the corner gate of the Princess Mansion. The corner gate opened, but the carriage did not move.Wei Chi asked what was the matter, and the steward of the car replied that there was an adult waiting at the door. He heard that he had been waiting for almost an hour, and he couldn't even leave, so he asked Wei Chi if he wanted to see him.

Lifting the curtain of the car, and by the dim light of the lantern, I saw Lin Ruhai waiting outside the door wearing a worn seventh-rank official uniform.

How is he?

Wei Chi had a good impression of Lin Ruhai, and thought of Xue Baoer's request, so he was taken to the study in the outer courtyard to wait.

Wei Chi got out of the carriage and went straight to the inner courtyard, and saw a jade-colored figure standing outside the hanging flower door from a distance. The little man became more and more courageous, and in the middle of the night, he stood alone in the dark courtyard with a lantern waiting for him.

However, this Liuxian dress woven with caged moon gauze is extremely beautiful on her body. It sets off her waist so thin that it is almost broken. It seems that the ignorant and ignorant little fairy in the moon palace stands on the boundary line of immortality and overlooks the world of mortals.

"Wei Chi, you're back!" Xue Bao'er called out in a low voice, holding a lantern to meet her.

Although Wei Chi asked someone to bring her a message in advance, saying that he would be late and told her not to wait, but Xue Baoer was used to Wei Chi's company, and couldn't fall asleep without looking at him and tossing and turning.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity of the maids dozing off, they sneaked out.

She even specially wore the birthday present that Wei Chi insisted on giving her, which was said to be a fairy dress woven with moon-gauze gauze one inch long and one or two gold, and planned to give him a surprise.

Who knew that his feet were numb, so he waited for him to come back.

With numb feet, Xue Baoer walked towards Wei Chi holding the lantern, but Wei Chi... seemed to be following her back.

???

Xue Baoer suddenly stood still, Wei Chi also stopped, Xue Baoer walked again, Wei Chi retreated again.

!!!

Xue Bao'er bit her lip, bent down to put down the lantern, and trotted over with her skirt in hand, but Wei Chi didn't retreat, he opened his arms to welcome her into his arms with a smile, and even hugged her for several times lock up.

Is it fun to hold her around in circles in the middle of the night?

But wearing the Liuxian skirt and circling around, the caged moon gauze like smoke and mist floats up, it should be beautiful.

Suddenly the wind picked up, blowing down the trees and flowers, Xue Bao'er felt as if she was dancing among the flowers under the moon, she also laughed, and begged Wei Chi to hold her for a few more laps.

Wei Chi also spared no effort, turning as soon as he could, but when he stopped, Xue Baoer's head was dizzy.

Fortunately, Wei Chi didn't faint, so he carried her upright like a child to the upper room.

For the first time, Xue Bao'er felt that being short has its advantages, and it won't look awkward if Wei Chi holds her like this.

At this time, the upper room had already exploded, and the maid who was on duty at night woke up, and Mr. Chenghui disappeared, and searched all the inner and outer side rooms and Baosha, but no one was found.

If this loses the little man on the tip of Shizi's heart, I'm afraid they will all be hacked into pieces.

The maid on duty was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat, but there was no one in the inner courtyard, so she had to carry a lantern to the outer courtyard to look for it.When the mighty lantern procession reached the Moon Gate, I suddenly saw Master Chenghui striding in with Mr. Chenghui in his arms, and there was not even a waiter behind him.

"..."

Are they a bit of an eyesore?

The line quickly divided from the middle, and the maids carrying lanterns stood in two rows, each with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Wei Chi seemed not to see them, and walked straight through the crowd with Xue Bao'er in his arms.

Being watched by so many people, Xue Bao'er almost died of shame, and had nowhere to hide, so she had to re-become an ostrich and bury her head in Wei Chi's neck, sniffing his body, pretending that there was no one around.

The servants of the princess mansion have long been accustomed to the prince's unabashed love for this little townsman, but they are surprised that the prince has always forbeared, and never crossed the threshold, doing things that only want to make himself happy, but will hurt others. The matter of Mr. Cheng Huixiang came.

Is this unbearable today?

That's right, when the young master of another family reaches the age of the eldest son, there is already a servant girl who understands human affairs in the house, but the eldest princess is very strict. No mosquitos at all.

Forced the son of the world to go to the brothel to relax, and sometimes live for seven or eight days.

The number one dandy in the capital has been on a vegetarian diet for more than half a year, returning home every night, having sex every night, gentle and small, and doing nothing, they all complained for the son.

So when Wei Chi walked into the inner room with Xue Bao'er in his arms, he found that there was nothing behind him, Wu suppressed all the servants standing in the courtyard, and no one followed him.

Wei Chi: "..."

You can't look at people, but you have a set of skills to hide them.Wei Chi didn't call anyone anymore, and went to the clean room next door to fetch water and came in to help Xue Bao'er wash up, then pressed her into the bed and wrapped her into a cocoon, coaxing her softly: "Go to sleep, it's already late."

Xue Bao'er closed her eyes obediently, then opened them quickly, and asked softly, "Aren't you sleeping?"

They didn't look like they were going to wash up.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Wei Chi stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of the little girl's upturned nose, and said helplessly, "I want to sleep too, but Lin Ruhai is still waiting in the study in the front yard."

Xue Baoer opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect Wei Chi to move so fast. After only one month, everyone from Lin Ruhai had already arrived in the capital.

"Does Master Lin agree to be transferred to the capital?" Actually, Xue Bao'er had no idea, after all, Lin Ruhai was from the south of the Yangtze River, and he was afraid that his homeland would be hard to leave.

Wei Chi gave a soft "hmm": "I'll ask him when you fall asleep."

Xue Bao'er was still worried: "I beg you to keep him in the capital."

"Understood, go to sleep."

The third watch drum was knocked outside the window, Xue Baoer quickly closed his eyes, and said quickly: "You, you go, I fell asleep."

Wei Chi: "..."

Wei Chi sat for a while, until he heard Xue Baoer's breathing became steady and long, then he got up and went to the study in the outer courtyard.

Walking into the outer study room, Lin Ruhai stood up and saluted Wei Chi, Wei Chi gave him a little support, said no, took his seat first, and raised his hand to signal Lin Ruhai to sit too.

Lin Ruhai sat down with the guards as he said, without saying a word of greeting: "I don't know if the Lord Supervisor summoned the ministers to return to Beijing to report on their duties, but for the sake of money?"

silver?

Wei Chixin said it was not true, purely out of curiosity, but what is the money here? Could it be that Lin Ruhai, a small seventh-rank patrol salt censor, can conjure money for him out of thin air?

Suddenly thinking of Lin Ruhai's black-and-white activities in office, Wei Chi became more careful, said "ah" in a vague way, and said tentatively: "Nowadays, there are floods in the south and drought in the north, and wars in the northwest are starting again. The court needs a lot of money. pen's silver."

As he said that, he glanced at Lin Ruhai: "The treasury's money is not abundant, and it needs to be used for disaster relief, but the war in the northwest is also difficult, so in desperation..."

"The money belongs to the sage, Lord Jian Guo doesn't need to explain to the minister, just tell me how much." Lin Ruhai continued.

He was originally making money for the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River. As for where the money is used and how it is used, it is not his business.What's more, military and state affairs are all confidential, and it is inconvenient for him to know.

In fact, it's not surprising that Lin Ruhai would think too much. It was already March of this year when the news of Wei Chi Jian Guo reached the ears of a junior official in Jiangnan.

At that time, the Northwest War had started, and he also knew about it.

In the end, it was only in April that Wei Chi hurriedly summoned him to Beijing to report on his work, not for money, but for what else?

Is it impossible to invite him to come and visit relatives?

When he came to the capital, he was still a little uneasy. After all, it was the emperor who asked him to get the money, but it was Lord Jian Guo who wanted to use the money.

So when he entered the palace, he went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, wanting to ask the emperor face to face, if Wei Chi asked him for money, whether to give it or not.Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't see him, and he was reminded by Fu Quanhai in a strange way.

Fu Quanhai used to be the emperor's big companion, but now he is the emperor's confidant, and the emperor usually asks Fu Quanhai to pass on messages to him when he spends money.What Fuquanhai said that day meant that the emperor trusted Jian Guo very much, and he might even pass the throne to him in a hundred years.

Then what else does he have to worry about?

Lin Ruhai made it clear that the money belonged to the emperor, not the state treasury. It turned out that the owner behind this money rake was...the emperor.

No wonder Lin Ruhai went straight to Yangzhou after leaving Lantai Temple, and he still sat in the position of seventh-rank patrol salt censor for several years, making Jiangnan salt officials miserable.

Then he has nothing to be polite about, but...he doesn't know how much private money the emperor has deposited with Lin Ruhai.

Wei Chi slowly stretched out a finger, Lin Ruhai understood: "One million taels?"

Wei Chi was overjoyed, Lin Ruhai is really a good rake, and his face remained calm.

He shook that finger lightly, and flashed through his mind the amount of Jiangnan's annual salt tax, and the number of years Lin Ruhai had been an official in Yangzhou, and roughly estimated the money in Lin Ruhai's hand.

The finger shook, but it was still alone.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but frown, 1000 million taels is all these years.

Immediately, he frowned again, knowing that he had 1000 million taels of silver in his hand, and there would never be another person except the emperor.

It seems that what Fu Quanhai said was right, Wei Chi must have got the emperor's order to call him to Beijing.

"Okay!" Lin Ruhai responded immediately, "However, the amount of money is too large, and it is stored in dozens of different banks in different banks. It will take time to transfer it out."

The military pay has always been real money, and the bills are not accepted.

Wei Chi knew he had made the right bet as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile, "You don't need to be so troublesome, you just need to hand over the bank note to me, and the household department will handle the rest."

The military pay was paid by the imperial court, and the money obtained from outside had to go to the treasury through the hands of the Ministry of Households, and then allocated from the treasury to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War uniformly distributed the military pay.

Lin Ruhai immediately understood Wei Chi's meaning, and kept saying that he hadn't thought carefully, and immediately made up a thick stack of bank notes from the interlayers of the official uniform, and handed them all over to Wei Chi after counting them.

Wei Chi: "..."
