Nongmen Space: I pampered the Prime Minister villain

Chapter 160

"Do you care about me?"

Xia Xiaoqiao cast a glance at him while holding the tea bowl, then smiled and said, "You still have a little conscience."

Compared to Xia Xiaoqiao who spoke so easily, Lu Jingyuan's expression was more serious.

He took a deep look at Xia Xiaoqiao, then covered her little hand on the stone table, and said seriously: "You should use less of your immortal technique, don't hurt yourself."

Xia Xiaoqiao instinctively withdrew her hand, coughing lightly with an uncomfortable expression on her face.

"Whether it hurts you or not, that's right, it costs a lot of money."

Although her voice was not loud, Lu Jingyuan still heard it.

"really?"

Xia Xiaoqiao nodded depressedly upon hearing this.

And Lu Jingyuan took another deep look at her, and confirmed again and again that she didn't seem to be faking, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for the money, I'll come up with a solution."

"you?"

Xia Xiaoqiao glanced at him in surprise, "What can you think of as a scholar? That's not small money. In good times, an acre of fertile land can be sold for fifteen taels of silver. Even if it's cheaper now, it's still worth three hundred taels of silver." two--"

"Look at me?"

Lu Jingyuan picked up the tea bowl and cast a glance at her, Xia Xiaoqiao immediately shook her head, "No, no—"

And someone was not angry, and handed over the rice paper full of words on the stone table.

"Tomorrow you take it to the bookstore in the town, and he will give you the money."

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoqiao quickly took it and took a look.

This running script is fluent in writing, restrained like others but still sharp, calm and elegant, regardless of the meaning of the text, just looking at the words makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Good word!"

Xia Xiaoqiao sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, but then he turned his head and Xia Xiaoqiao said in a financial obsession, "You didn't get the 200 taels of silver from selling words, did you?"

puff--

Cough, cough, cough——

Lu Jingyuan just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, but now he was choking so badly.

Xia Xiaoqiao hurried over to help him with his back.

"Drink it slowly, it's just tea, and it's not a very good thing. What are you in such a hurry for?"

With a cold face, Lu Jingyuan hid, and grabbed the writing in her hand casually.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Bring it."

Seeing someone's brain, Xia Xiaoqiao immediately protected the words and said: "What are you taking? If it is in the hands of this girl, it will naturally belong to this girl. Hey, I was just joking with you just now. Such a good word, I will give it to you." I can't wait to hide it well, how can I sell it?"

After speaking, the little hand moved, and then the rice paper disappeared.

Lu Jingyuan: ".?!"

the next morning

"Girl, did you really get the rice seeds back?"

The old man Lizheng and a group of clan elders couldn't be more excited.

And Xia Xiaoqiao held the tea bowl with a slight smile and said: "Naturally, cousin Dashan and a few brothers from the village drove back in a bullock cart yesterday, and now it's at my house, so is it still fake?"

"Okay, that's great."

The old man in Lizheng clapped his hands happily, and the others were also very happy.

However, the calm clan elder immediately said again: "Well, daughter-in-law Jing Yuan, I wonder what the price of these rice seeds is?"

Now, it is said that grain has risen to one tael of silver and one stone, and there is still no market for the price.

Although the rice seeds have not been shelled, they are still food!

Now I'm afraid not to mention seven or eight hundred coins and a stone, even if it is a tael of silver, there must be many people rushing to ask for it.

"Uncle Clan, what time is it? These rice seeds cannot be bought with money."

Xia Xiaoqiao knew in her heart that people would cherish things even more if they were hard earned.

Moreover, people are greedy, and if she wants to do good deeds, she must first establish her prestige.

This place will be her base camp in the future, so it is natural to manage it well.

Sure enough, as soon as these words fell, the clan elder blushed immediately.

"My niece and daughter-in-law are right."

"No, even if there is money now, no one is still useless. Do you think there are still few people in the town who buy food with money?"

"Yeah, besides there are so many rice seeds, it's not something that only money can solve."

"So, this scholar is different. We have Jing Yuan in our village, and it is really a great favor."

After everyone finished speaking, the old man Lizheng coughed twice, interrupting everyone.

"It's good for you to know. If it weren't for Jing Yuan and his wife, Luxi Village would have been destroyed long ago."

"Have you also seen the family begging in the street?"

"Being a human being should be grateful. Jing Yuan and Xia Yatou did their best for our Luxi Village, and even begged someone to bring back these rice seeds for us. You all have something in mind."

"However, one yard is one yard. They are always thinking of us. We can't let the children feel cold. Girl, this rice seed is hard to come by. It took a lot of effort for you to get it. Just say it. As many denarii as there are denarii."

The old man Lizheng's words made everyone shut their mouths, and they raised their throats in one breath, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became serious.

According to their usual farming experience, they also made some inquiries. At least one bucket of seeds for one mu of land, and one tael of silver for ten mu of land, which is not cheap, but what can be done?
This is still calculated according to the price of grain. Normally, this kind of rice is more expensive than grain.

After all, keeping the seeds is the best choice.

However, until now, even if it is expensive, everyone has recognized it.

Just when everyone was heartbroken, thinking about the possibility of bleeding, Xia Xiaoqiao said with a clear voice, "No money!" with a smile on her face.

As soon as these words fell, everyone was shocked.

"what?"

"Could I have heard wrong?"

"No money? Is it true?"

Everyone looked at Xia Xiaoqiao in confusion, even Lu Jingyuan, who was drinking tea silently, looked over in surprise.

But the old man Lizheng immediately changed his face.

"Girl Xia, you can't just joke about this!"

"Your rice seeds don't cost a few hundred taels, so I'm afraid they won't be able to buy them. The third grandfather knows that you are all for our Luxi Village, but, but—"

But there is no such sacrifice method! ! !
Everyone was also puzzled, but Xia Xiaoqiao immediately smiled and said, "Third Grandpa, I know you are doing it for my own good, but what I said is also true."

"This rice seed really doesn't cost money, but everyone should also know that there is no free lunch in this world."

Speaking of this, everyone finally took a deep breath and knew that there was no such good thing.

Xia Xiaoqiao naturally saw their expressions, but she still smiled and said: "As everyone thinks, this rice seed is not easy to come by, but I asked for it from an acquaintance, and that old friend is a businessman. On the face of it, I am willing to give it to us in Luxi Village on credit."

"On credit?"

Everyone's eyes widened after hearing this.

seriously?
Hundreds of taels of silver, to say credit on credit?

Why don't they have such rich old friends?
For a moment, everyone looked at them differently, especially Lu Jingyuan.

This scholar is really different, he has such a big face!
And Lu Jingyuan, who was sitting by the side, was in a bad mood.

She cast a sharp glance at Xia Xiaoqiao.

"It's just nonsense!!!"
