The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

The old prince sat nearby, listening with great interest and smiling, feeling as if he were an outsider.

It seemed as if he was not the one who borrowed the emperor's money. Minister Lin couldn't help but sigh that the old prince was extremely thick-skinned.

If he had cheated the emperor of such a large sum of money and ran away, he wouldn't even dare to reveal any news, let alone come back.

Fortunately, the emperor is kind and values ​​this uncle relatively much. Otherwise, with the killing order and the wanted order issued, would this old prince still be able to live so freely outside for so long?

Lin Mo looked at the old prince with more and more admiration. It was true that a humble man is invincible. The old prince was indeed a role model among men!

However, Lin Mo was still very curious about one thing, "Prince, how much silver did you borrow in the beginning?" Then you didn't dare to come back in these decades, so how much money did you borrow?

The old prince laughed and said proudly, "Not much, not much, all added up to a few hundred thousand taels."

Hundreds of thousands of taels! So much! You guys are living on gold outside, so much money!

Bai Xiao added: [He has borrowed 20 from the emperor alone, which has made the emperor poor all of a sudden. The emperor has worked so hard to save money for so long, but in the end, his uncle cheated him out of it all of a sudden.]

[Then he borrowed from all the high officials and nobles in the capital that he knew, hundreds and thousands of taels of silver. He also met some wealthy businessmen who wanted to establish a relationship with him and offered him money. This is a lot in total.]

The Lin family father and daughter gave a thumbs up in admiration. This man is truly not an ordinary person!

It really took his ability to borrow so much money.

The old prince felt a little embarrassed by their looks, and he explained modestly: "I didn't expect that I wouldn't come back for so long. I just wanted to travel around for a few years, but it's so much fun out there. The scenery there is incomparable to this small place in the capital."

"I have been traveling and doing business for many years, and I invested all this money into my business. I lost some money at the beginning, but I gradually made money later."

"I'm getting old now, and it's not good for me to travel around outside, so I thought about coming back. Anyway, I don't have any descendants. Except for my family's own expenses, I plan to donate all the money I earned before to the national treasury, which can be regarded as compensation for my nephew."

He didn't expect at the time that his nephew was actually so poor. Who could have thought that a prince would be so poor? He thought that his nephew was hiding his talents under a low profile and deliberately pretending to be frugal to others.

In fact, the main purpose of coming back this time is retirement, but mainly I want to see the legendary Lord Kobayashi.

It turns out that she is extraordinary when I saw her today. She has an interesting personality and appearance. Lin Huan has given birth to a good daughter!

Just now he thought he saw Lin Huan’s appearance as a teenager. The father and daughter really looked like cut from the same mold.

It’s just that Lord Kobayashi is a little shorter. Lin Huan was already very tall when he was a teenager.

When he treated such a handsome young man, he still admired him very much. After all, who wouldn't want to appreciate beautiful things?

The old man of the Lin family also had a good appearance, so his son was naturally good-looking as well, and even better than his father. The daughter born to this son was also pretty. I don’t know how Lin Huan’s other two children turned out.

I heard that the eldest son looks very much like his mother, and was directly chosen as the third place in the imperial examination. He is also the number one son in the capital today.

The previous number one young master in the capital was Lin Huan. This family is really quite rich.

"Oh, it's getting late and I should go home. My husband is very clingy to me. If I don't go back, he might make trouble again."

The old prince couldn't stop smiling when he talked about the person at home.

Lin Mo asked Bai Xiao curiously: [What does the person that the old prince likes look like? Why does the old prince like her so much?]

Bai Xiao: [You can tell with your toes that she is very good-looking, but she is not the best-looking. They are together because they have the same values ​​and personalities. Appearance is only one aspect. If it were based on appearance, then the old prince would have fallen in love with your father a long time ago.]

Old Prince: ...

Minister Lin: ...

You two are really good at talking. Are you praising us or criticizing us?

Holding this big bag of silver, Lin Mo kept his mouth shut all the way home.

Although this thing is heavy, its heft really makes people feel at ease.

Minister Lin wanted to help her but she refused.

"I can hold it myself. How can I let you do it? That would be too unfilial of me. I still have enough strength."

Lin Mo held the silver in his arms and spoke so righteously that it seemed as if no one would believe him.

Minister Lin sneered and said, "You can hold it if you want. I'll see where you put the silver. If your mother finds out, you will definitely get a beating."

Lin Mo retorted, "Dad, you don't have anywhere else to put it. If your hidden money is discovered by mother, your fate will be worse than mine."

The father and daughter were facing each other, neither of them willing to take a step back.

Bai Xiao next to him sighed silently. What was the point of arguing about it? It would be better to just leave it here.

His uninhabited yard is the safest place. Everyone thinks he lives there, so most people won't go in.

(Everyone: Haha, as long as you are happy.)

After returning, the father and daughter covered each other and buried the silver under a tree.

Lin Mo also told her father: "Dad, you have to remember that it is this tree. We agreed that the money is for me. Dad, you can't secretly dig out the money."

Minister Lin: ...You act like you care about nothing. I want to keep the money because I'm afraid you'll spend it all at once.

Can't you put it somewhere else? Doesn't it have to be buried underground? There are so many places to hide it. Why not hide it?

In the middle of the night, Lin Mo lay in bed feeling uneasy.

The tree is outside and the silver is at the roots of the tree, which is too unsafe.

What if some maids and servants dug out the silver? That would be a huge loss of money.

"No, I have to dig out the silver. This is too unsafe."

Bai Xiao lay on her pillow and said speechlessly: "What's unsafe? Isn't it safe for me to help you monitor it? I will tell you if there is any problem. Go to sleep quickly."

Lin Mo slapped him directly, "What if you fail to keep an eye on him? That would be too dangerous. That's not a small amount of money. It would cost us several months' expenses."

Bai Xiao: ...Are you planning to crush me to death with your palm?
