Wealth and glory seek stability

Jian Xi guessed that if this embroidery was done by a famous artist, it might be more valuable. Unfortunately, it was done by her. "This is not some lost embroidery technique. I just figured it out by myself."

Meng Ying sneered, "Tsk! You're still young, but you just know how to brag."

Meng Hui turned around and warned Meng Ying, then said with a smile: "Of course I will accept it. This embroidery technique has been lost. If we judge by the level of embroidery, this fan is worth at most a few dozen taels of silver. But if you use this lost technique, I will give you five hundred taels of silver. What do you think?" She believed that this embroidery technique was from Jian Xi's hand. If someone who truly loved embroidery got such a unique piece, they would definitely keep it as a collection and would not sell it easily.

Jian Xi was so confident and had no regrets at all, which showed that she really had the confidence.

This was the first time that Meng Hui spoke to a junior in such a friendly manner since he became famous.

This shocked Meng Ying, who had always been tortured by Meng Hui.

!!!

Why is her mother so gentle today?

What a hell.

Jian Xi thought about it and decided that she would split the money equally with Caixia when she returned. 250 yuan each was too unfair.

"Five hundred and ten taels. If possible, we can settle the payment now."

Meng Ying teased, "You little girl, I say you are not smart, but you still know how to bargain. I say you are not smart, but you only asked for ten taels of silver. I really don't know whether you are smart or not."

Meng Hui made the decision right away, "Okay! Let's do as you say, little girl. I wonder if you have any master?" Meng Hui was attracted by her talent. It was rare for her to have such skills and talent at such a young age. It was not something that could be described by ordinary talent to be able to figure out this lost embroidery technique by herself.

Jian Xi remembered that she had worshipped Ding Xiang as her master in the palace, "I have already worshipped Master, can you give me the silver?" What is going on? She just wants the silver!

Meng Hui was a little disappointed after hearing this. He gently picked up the fan and said to Meng Ying, "Go and get five hundred and ten taels of silver for this little girl." She took the fan and went to the backyard. It was late at night and she couldn't see anything. She would study this technique carefully tomorrow morning.

Meng Ying said respectfully, "Yes." She turned around and asked Jian Xi what she meant, "There's not that much cash on the counter. How about I give you 400 taels of silver notes and 110 taels of cash?"

Jian Xi naturally responded, "Sister, please break the four hundred taels of silver for me. I will go back and share the silver with the embroiderer who embroidered with me."

Meng Ying did not make it difficult for Jian Xi. She did as she asked and counted the silver in front of her. "You count it."

Jian Xi was not polite at all and ordered three or four times in front of him.

Meng Ying, who ordered, felt a little embarrassed.

How could this little girl be so shameless? Wouldn't she feel embarrassed?

Unfortunately, Jian Xi really didn't have such an idea. Face and other things were not as real as money.

"Okay, the payment is done, and I'll take my leave now." Jian Xi picked up the fan case she used to hold her fan and put the silver in it.

Turn around and leave quickly.

He called Shen Nanxing who was at the door, "Brother, it's time for us to go home."

It was already evening when we got back.

The two of them had a simple meal, and Jian Xi packed some luggage for Shen Nanxing to take to the military camp.

Shen Nanxing remembered something, "Oh, Xier, you don't have to give me shares. I'm a grown man and I don't need that much money."

Jian Xi disagreed with Shen Nanxing's opinion. "Brother, you are wrong. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. I have thought about it. I will give you 10% of the profit from my farm every year. If you don't need it, I will save it for you. Whenever you need it, just come to me and get it." Both of them have no parents now. She is mentally older than Shen Nanxing and has to make plans for their future.

In this era, although silver is hard currency, if war or natural disasters occur, the most important thing is supplies, and buying a farm is a must.

Shen Nanxing just wanted the two of them to have enough food and clothing. "I'll do whatever you say. Anyway, the farm is there and it will produce food every year, which is good."

Jian Xi smiled happily, "That's it. Money won't make money if it's just sitting there. If we leave the farm there, it won't take many years for the capital to come back. If we encounter a disaster, we can still rely on the farm to avoid it. You can just stay in the barracks and I'll be there to support you. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Jian Xi was born in a prosperous era and had never witnessed famine with her own eyes, but Shen Nanxing had seen it, with people eating their own children and suffering.

"Okay, I feel relieved having you here, but I have to leave tonight. I'm worried about you living here alone. You pack your things later and I'll take you back to the palace before I go back." Shen Nanxing was really shocked by what Jian Xi had done in the past few days. She took tens of thousands of taels of silver without any hesitation. He was afraid that Jian Xi would be targeted by others.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jian Xi packed up a bag. There was nothing to take from home.

He called Shen Nanxing to go and burn incense to the original owner's parents, and then returned to the palace.

Shen Nanxing watched Jian Xi's back as she entered the palace before he withdrew his gaze.

"Come out, my friend."

It was evening and there were few people on the street. Shen Nanxing waited for a long time but no one responded.

He drew his sword and stabbed behind a tree on the street.

A middle-aged man with a wretched appearance dodged in embarrassment.

"What's your intention in following us all the way from Baoxiufang?" Shen Nanxing pointed the tip of his sword at the middle-aged man and asked harshly.

The middle-aged man begged for mercy again and again, "Master, please spare my life. I was just blinded by greed for a moment. Please let me go. I will never dare to do it again."

The middle-aged man originally saw Jian Xi taking a bag of silver from Baoxiufang, but was not sure how much silver was in the bag. He followed her all the way to Songzi Lane and then to the palace.

Shen Nanxing originally wanted to teach the man a lesson and then let him go, but unexpectedly, the moment the middle-aged man lowered his head to beg for mercy, he pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Shen Nanxing straight at him. Shen Nanxing did not hesitate at all, and directly cut the man's tendons and neatly handed it to the officers and soldiers patrolling nearby.

After showing his ID, the two officers became more respectful.

"I greet the Centurion!"

"Get up, this man is murderous for money. He just tried to kill me. He doesn't look like a novice. I cut the tendons of his right hand. I'll trouble you two brothers to hand him over to the government and investigate him according to the law."

As Shen Nanxing spoke, he took out two silver ingots from his sleeves and gave one to each of them.

"What are you talking about? We don't need to hand this kind of person over to the government. We can just take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He committed a crime in the street and even attacked you. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out in this lifetime."

This is exactly what Shen Nanxing wanted. He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and said, "This is for the hard work of the two brothers. Please treat the jailers to a cup of tea. I don't want to see this person in the capital again."
