Baochai is a mermaid

In the past few days after the martial arts exam, Xue Pan has been handing over to Xue Biao.

According to Xue Pan's intention, a hasty handover is enough, they are all a family.

Xue Biao didn't think so, and came to bother him almost every day.After handing over one item, Xue Biao asked someone to register and make an account book. Xue Pan had to go over the registered account book again, and then both parties signed and marked it before it was completed.

If this continues, I am afraid that the battle in the northwest will be over, and he and Xue Biao are still handing over.

Xue Pan said it a few times, but Xue Biao turned a deaf ear to it. He said that his brothers settled accounts clearly, and he also gave him the sour words of "first the villain and then the gentleman", and then he should do what he should do.

It's not like when he was a child, when he stared, Xue Biao got scared and asked him to do whatever he wanted, he was very obedient.

Anyway, Xue Bian annoyed Xue Biao to death. When he was a child, Xue Biao hid when he saw him, but when he grew up, he turned around.

Seeing that Xue Pan was about to hide again, Xue Biao rushed up and called his elder brother.Xue Pan tried to turn a blind eye, but his sleeves were pulled by Xue Baoer, so he could only stand still and say hello to Xue Biao with a dry smile.

"It just so happens that the eldest sister is also here. I want to discuss with you about the 1000 million taels of silver." Xue Biao knew that Xue Pan was bothering him, so he didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point.

Xue Pan was even annoyed when he heard this: "Didn't we discuss it before, use the cash from the bank!"

Xue Biao glanced at Xue Baoer, Xue Baoer was also very concerned about this matter, and quickly asked: "Is there not enough money in the bank? Or is it too tight to raise money?"

Xue Biao shook his head, Xue Pan was annoyed: "Then what else can we discuss?"

After finishing speaking, he was about to walk away, but Xue Baoer caught him again: "Brother, listen to what the second brother has to say."

Xue Pan sighed heavily.

Xue Biao thought for a while, then plucked up his courage and said, "I want to split the 1000 million taels of silver into two parts to cash in. I will pay 500 million taels of silver bills within ten days, and the other 500 million dual-use grain, cotton cloth and medicinal materials will be settled at a discount."

Xue Pan was furious: "I promised Wei Chi to use the bank notes. Are you saying this now to make me break my promise in front of my future brother-in-law?"

Uncle's face is greater than the sky!

But Xue Bao'er heard some tricks, stopped Xue Pan, and asked Xue Bian, "Second brother, does the second brother know where the money is going to be used?"

Xue Biao nodded: "It is precisely because I know the usefulness of this money that I want to do this. After the elder brother told me about it, I asked the caravan that often travels outside the pass to find out about the situation. The head of the caravan said, They often do business with the Northwest Army, mainly reselling food and horses."

"The army can still resell food and horses?" Xue Pan heard it for the first time, "If caught, it will be a death penalty!"

Xue Biao smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, when the Northwest Army found the caravan, they said the same thing. But the military master of the Northwest Army said that they grew the food and raised the horses themselves. Why can't they sell them? Caravan business is not a matter of one or two years, just want to exchange a few taels of silver for envoys."

Xue Pan's eyes widened: "Doesn't the imperial court pay you money?"

Xue Biao's smile became more and more bitter: "Speak up, a military master told him that the salary allocated by the court is not enough for those people above, and less than [-]% of it actually fell into the hands of the Northwest Army."

Now both Xue Pan and Xue Baoer understood Xue Biao's intentions.

Good steel is naturally used on the blade.

The Xue family's money did not come from the strong wind, so there is no reason to take advantage of those corrupt officials.

"But I promised Wei Chi to pay within ten days, is there still time to exchange it in kind?" Xue Pan compromised.

Xue Biao was a little embarrassed: "Within ten days, 500 million taels of silver bills will definitely be fine. Food and grass can be transferred from Shanxi and Shaanxi, and medicinal materials can be transferred from Liaodong and Sichuan, but cotton cloth is a bit troublesome. It takes time to go from Jiangnan. It's going to be a little long."

"How long will it take?" Xue Baoer asked.

Xue Biao thought for a while: "There are many cloth factories in the south of the Yangtze River, and every family has stocks. The cotton cloth can be woven quickly, but the journey is far away, and it may take about half a year."

"No!" Xue Pan categorically vetoed, "It's cold early in the northwest, so we can't wait that long! The piece of cotton cloth should be worth some money!"

Xue Biao insisted: "I thought about it, we can send it in installments and batches! This method also has an advantage. We transfer the goods from our own business, and add a little more to the cost price. With the same money, we can buy more thing."

Xue Biao looked into Xue Pan's eyes: "I know that my brother is going to the northwest to make contributions, so we might as well earn a little less and just pave the way for him!"

Xue Pan was uncomfortable being watched by him, and he shook his sleeves, and said to Xue Baoer: "Anyway, it's the money your uncle wants, if you can persuade him, I won't bother!"

He pretended to be impatient and looked at Xue Biao: "You guys watch the torment! I still have something to do, so I'll go first!"

As soon as Xue Pan left, only Xue Biao and Xue Bao'er were left staring at each other. Xue Biao suddenly remembered the hostility that Wei Chi had shown towards him when he first arrived in the capital. Xue Pan left.

Xue Baoer: "..."

In the flower hall on the other side, Mother Xue knew about the marriage a long time ago and thought it was very good, but kept begging Wei Chi to get engaged first, and then get married after Xue Baoer and Ji.

There is a law in this dynasty, women are 14 years old and Ji, and they can get married only after they reach Ji.

"Bao'er is only ten years old this year, not yet the age to get married. I want to keep her for a few more years." Mother Xue said tactfully.

In Jinling City, wealthy families like the Xue family usually keep their daughters until they are seventeen or eighteen years old.

Ten years old, let alone in the south of the Yangtze River, even in the capital where early marriage is popular, it is unheard of.

Wei Chi understands Xue's mother's concerns, and he understands the reasons, but he just doesn't want to be separated from Xue Bao'er for a while.

As Xue's mother said, Xue Bao'er is only ten years old this year, if he waits until Jiji, he will have to wait four years.

Four years, God knows what kind of variables will happen.

In case Meng Rang's medical skills are not good, the emperor died in the last year, and he could not hold weddings during the national mourning, so he had to wait.

What if Xue Baoer suddenly fell in love with someone else when she was 14 years old, after all, she has so many good cousins.

just in case……

Since he can remember, too many things have happened around him, and too many people have passed by. Everyone hastily walked into his life, actively associated with him, and then disappeared without a trace on a certain ordinary day.

After being distraught, sad, and at a loss, he learned to seal his feelings and refuse to easily associate with others.

Only in this way, when one day they leave, he will not be hurt.

He has always been alone, has no relatives, no friends, and is a passer-by in his life. No one trusts him unconditionally, and no one is worthy of his unconditional trust.

It wasn't until he met Xue Bao'er that there was a permanent person in his life.

It wasn't until the days when he lived in Xue's house that he knew what family and affection were.

He suddenly wanted to have a home, a home of his own.

In that home, there was a gentle and beautiful little wife who would wait for him with a lantern in the middle of the night, ask him softly if he was hungry or cold, and cook for him after he drank two bowls of sweet soup. To eat noodles, I carefully told the servants that the shredded chicken should be cut finer, and quail eggs should be put in the noodles instead of eggs. It should be cooked at night.

He no longer wants to sleep on the big kang outside, he wants to sleep with his delicate little wife in his arms, even if he does nothing for a whole night.

"Since it's a marriage, there's no reason to betrothed first." Wei Chi said quietly, "But I can promise my wife that I won't consummate the house before Bao'er and Ji. Before that, I won't have children. Do you think it's okay?"

Xue's mother is most worried about having children. A woman who is too young to give birth to a child will suffer a great crime, and it is not uncommon for a dead body and two lives.

She only had one daughter, and she really didn't dare to take such a risk.

It will be much safer to have a child in the future, Xue's mother finally nodded.

Wei Chi said goodbye and left, Xue Baoer kept sending him outside the Chuihua Gate, talking to him about Xue Biao's new ideas about the 1000 million taels of silver.Wei Chi always interrupts, saying that today's tea is good, sweet but not greasy, it melts in the mouth, and saying that a certain place passing by is very beautiful, lamenting that he didn't pay attention to it before...

Xue Baoer said that the business was interrupted several times, and he was so angry that he elbowed him, and then he was grabbed by the hand, so he had to continue to send him to the side door, but someone directly carried him into the carriage.

Xue Bao'er held the door of the car with her hands and refused to enter, and warned someone in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, my mother said that it is inauspicious to meet before getting married."

"I'm not afraid." Wei Chi looked down at her.

In fact, Xue Baoer is not afraid. Modern men and women go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate together, and no one has anything to do.

By the time she realized it, she was already sitting on Wei Chi's lap.

"I'm not afraid, but my mother is afraid!" People drift in ancient times, and she is used to following the thinking of ancient people, and she has no intention of challenging public order and good customs.

"Mother-in-law is even more afraid that I will come to disturb you and make the house restless." Wei Chi deliberately pressed Xue Bao'er's little ear and said, "Besides, if Mother-in-law doesn't nod, how dare I take you away? Hmm?"

Xue Bao'er smelled a hint of danger, and hurriedly covered her ears: "..." How come I haven't seen you so obedient before!
