"Uncle Xu, do you make this kind of mistake often? A hundred taels of silver, hehehe … If you get one hundred silvers out of every month, then it will be one thousand and two hundred silvers out of every year. Xi Jiu Er slowly said as she looked down at the apologizing Lao Xu and asked, "Uncle Xu, does this courtyard belong to you?"

Lao Xu had already thought of an excuse and said: "Hehehe, my nephew's courtyard. We are all surnamed Xu."

"So that's how it is, it caused me to misunderstand why the money from the Uncle Xu's Greedy Ink Store was used to buy the house. "Ai, why do you insist on staying in your own shabby house?"

Xi Jiu Er did not linger in front of him, and this made Lao Xu heave a sigh of relief, and she laughed: "After all, this is my nephew's courtyard, so it's not appropriate for me to stay here, it's just that I occasionally come over to help him take a look at the courtyard." He then mentioned his attire: "This servant does not want others to see that I am dressed like this."

"Hehe, that's true!" Xi Jiu Er smiled as if she understood what she meant, extended her hand and said: "Then, Uncle Xu, please give me the wrong silver taels."

"..." Good, good! "Old servant, old servant will go get some silver now." Lao Xu immediately returned to his senses and nodded his head to go back to his room to get the silver. Although he was reluctant to part with a hundred gold, he did not want to waste Xi Jiu Er's time again. Looking at the silver bills in his hands, Lao Xu felt so much pain that blood was dripping from his body.

"Ninth Miss, here is one hundred silver." Lao Xu handed the silver over to Xi Jiu Er and asked in shock: "Uncle Xu, what are you giving me a hundred silver for?"

Lao Xu was puzzled, "Isn't it a hundred taels?" Wasn't he wrong by a hundred silver taels?

"Ai, how could it be 100 taels of silver?" Xi Jiu Er's eyes were wide open as she blinked, "Uncle Xu, you must have remembered wrongly. What I just said was not 100 taels …"

Not a hundred silver? How much is that? Lao Xu carefully thought back to what Xi Jiu Er had said, then suddenly came up with an idea that caused her to tremble with fear. She couldn't be talking about it, could she be talking about one thousand and two hundred gold! Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to ask.

"Hehe, Miss doesn't need to test this old servant. What Miss said just now was a hundred liang." Lao Xu laughed.

Xi Jiu Er shook her head: "Uncle Xu, you are really too old to be doing this, don't you know how to settle this little debt you have as a shopkeeper?"

To Lao Xu, this was definitely an insult, an absolutely insult. Lao Xu had been a shopkeeper for more than twenty years, yet was looked down upon by a three or four-year-old girl. Lao Xu's face flushed red as he chuckled, "Could it be that Miss is talking about one thousand and two hundred silver?"

Xi Jiu Er raised her eyebrows and did not say a word. She thought that she had tacitly acknowledged it, gritted her teeth and turned to go get the 1200 silver. Damn, his flesh hurts so much! Halfway there, he suddenly thought, that can't be right! He should plead, how could she have more than 1000 taels? Was he still in that shitty house with a thousand taels of silver? What a joke.

"Miss, this old servant really doesn't have that much silver." Lao Xu rolled over and kneeled down, planning to cry for a while. After all, his face wasn't even as important as his silver taels.

"Miss …" Just as he was about to say something, Xi Jiu Er decided: "It's best if you and I can settle this matter properly. I won't be looking for you anymore."

Xi Jiu Er was the direct descendant of the Xi Family, so it was definitely difficult to find him. Although the Xi Family didn't say that it was big or small, it was easy to get someone, a famous sect. He started to calculate, if she lost her use, would First Lady kill him to keep her mouth shut? If Miss Xi knew that she was greedy, how would she punish him?

After thinking it over, he decided to just give her the one thousand two hundred taels! When the time came, he would tell them that he took it from his nephew. Lao Xu thought this way, but he still had to do it. He stuttered: "Then, then this old servant can only take it from nephew's side …"

Xi Jiu Er smiled faintly: "Where you go and take it has nothing to do with me."

Uh, Lao Xu froze on the spot, and in the end, could only count out 1200 taels of silver from his own box. He touched the notes again and again, and felt it, it was as painful as cutting meat.

But — — When he gave one thousand and two hundred silver to Xi Jiu Er, Xi Jiu Er basically did not have any intention of taking it, and still had the "you foolishness" expression on his face. This finally made Lao Xu unable to sit still, what exactly did this mean? Just say it directly, his expression couldn't hang on any longer …

"ex-sister-in-law, tell Lao Xu how much should he give!" Xi Jiu Er said.

ex-sister-in-law coughed and replied sternly, "Uncle Xu, you get 1200 taels of silver a year, and you get 15600 taels of silver every thirteen years."

"What?" Lao Xu was immediately struck dumb. He sat on the ground, fifteen hundred and six hundred gold? He doesn't have a problem with the back of his ears, does he? He stared at Xi Jiu Er and realised that she did not have any intention to joke around, so he forced a smile: "Ninth Miss, are you playing with this old servant?"

Xi Jiu Er smiled slightly: "Take those six hundred silvers away and treat it as fifteen thousand." Pausing for a moment, she enunciated each word slowly, "Uncle Xu, I have already calculated the minimum amount for you. "Isn't it?"

"Miss …" Lao Xu squeezed out a few words with difficulty. His face was very white, very white. Only now did he realize that the other party was simply making trouble for him. "This old servant doesn't have fifteen thousand taels."

"No?" Hehe … You can let your nephew's courtyard to be pawned for me. Hmm, ex-sister-in-law, how much do you think the courtyard is worth? " Xi Jiu Er turned her head left and right to look at the house.

ex-sister-in-law was also cooperating very well as she said in a serious tone, "Miss, I estimate that this one is only worth two thousand silver taels …"

Lao Xu was astonished. This ex-sister-in-law was really capable, it was indeed worth two thousand gold. She had been too careless, too careless! Lao Xu felt that he would never be able to turn around this time. Forever.

"What? Only two thousand gold?" That was still thirteen thousand taels! Uncle Xu, go and get the thirteen thousand and two hundred yuan. Once it's finished, I'll leave immediately! " The way they attacked was probably just waiting for them to get their hands on the silver, calmly looking at the ashen faced Lao Xu, he said indifferently.

Lao Xu shook his head. He wouldn't give him so much even if he was beaten to death.

"Ninth Miss, you must be joking …" Lao Xu said stiffly: "This old servant can't earn that much in my lifetime."

Xi Jiu Er said meaningfully, "Is that so? Only you know how much you have earned, the heaven knows the earth, the earth knows the world, and perhaps there are others who know but not necessarily! Uncle Xu trusted you so he gave the shop to you to take care of, but you yourself are clear on what you have to do.

"Miss, you!" She must have known something, she must have, or else she wouldn't have said that about him. Just as heaven knows earth knows everything, there is no wall without wind in the world. They were both in the Xi Family, so the Miss must have found out …

"Lao Xu, if you give me 13,000 gold today, I will definitely not have anything to do with you. I will just pretend to be stupid, if you let Old Madame know what I already know, what the consequences will be? What she cares about the most is reputation, don't think that this woman doesn't know anything, my mother is also very afraid of her! " Xi Jiu Er laughed.

Lao Xu felt that the girl in front of him was not simple, she was not simple at all! The people of Xi Family felt that the girl in front of them was foolish, easy to deceive, now it seemed like they were all wrong, the stupid one was them, they were played around and did not know anything!

Since he already knew, Lao Xu didn't try to act. He said calmly: "Miss, this old servant really doesn't have that much …"

"Uncle Xu, I'm giving you one last chance. You didn't want it." Xi Jiu Er was still trying on her clothes and gave a slight smile, but it actually became colder by a bit. She gave Lao Xu a last chance, when a person does not commit suicide, they would not die, when the mother dies, Lao Xu alone persevered for so many years, and it was not something with a cruel heart, even if it was just to show him a little kindness. Unfortunately, he was still playing tricks on her in the end, so she couldn't accept it.

"ex-sister-in-law, let's go." Xi Jiu Er shouted and turned to leave, not hesitating at all. It was clear that she did not care about the thirteen thousand silver. Suddenly, Lao Xu thought of something. The shop on the southern road seemed to also belong to the Ninth Miss … He heard from the Xi Family that they were even fighting over this shop.

He heard that the store was extremely profitable and was a medicinal herb shop.

Lao Xu suddenly said: "Ninth Miss, please wait."

Xi Jiu Er continued to walk forward without even turning her head around, even the ex-sister-in-law followed along. The silver Miss did not even take it to heart, she just made an end to it in the past.

"Miss... This old servant will give it to you, this old servant will give it to you. " Lao Xu's eyes flashed, "Thirteen thousand, this old servant will give it to you right away."

"Alright." Xi Jiu Er turned and stood in her original position, then quickly stood up to look for silver. He plans to link us with that Xi Jiu Er line and do things under him. That way, he will definitely benefit greatly from it! " He began to calculate. Thirteen thousand taels of silver, he would use this to earn even more!

"Ninth Miss." Although Lao Xu felt heartache, he decided to tolerate Xiang Ze's long-range plan.

ex-sister-in-law went forward and roughly looked at the silver and kept it, then nodded at Xi Jiu Er. This made Lao Xu extremely sure that Xi Jiu Er didn't even look at these ten thousand taels. What did this mean? This meant that the other party had silver taels!

"Miss, that old servant will hand the room contract over to you another day." Lao Xu had already made arrangements, and his thoughts were working. Compared to Lao Xu, who was previously like a different person, Xi Jiu Er nodded: "Sure."

On the way back, ex-sister-in-law said, "Miss, this Lao Xu is too restless."

"No, but the more restless he is, the more helpful he will be to me." Xi Jiu Er laughed faintly. ex-sister-in-law seemed to have a plan in her mind, but instead asked: "Miss, if we were to open another medicine store here, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate." People of the Xi Family would definitely think of a way to get those who get jealous. She had already seen through the true appearance of the group of people from Xi Family.

"Give the heart-nourishing hall an order, tell him to continue working since Lao Xu is here …" "Let him do some odd jobs …" Xi Jiu Er instructed ex-sister-in-law.
