  Xiao Lian stepped forward and opened a box casually.

  The square box was full of silver, and the flickering light blinded the shopkeeper Hu and the boy.

   Before the two recovered, Xiao Lian opened another box.

  As the boxes were opened one by one, the shock in the eyes of shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou deepened.

   "These—" Shopkeeper Hu breathed heavily, and the outstretched hand seemed to be not his own, "These boxes are all silver?"

  Xin You smiled and nodded.

  The old shopkeeper grabbed Xin You's sleeve, heartbroken: "Boss, we can't do anything that breaks the law!"

   With the earning power of the host family, being down-to-earth is enough!

  Xiao Lian sneered: "What did the shopkeeper say, this is our girl's money."

   "My boss's money?" Shopkeeper Hu looked at Xin You blankly.

  Seeing that the old shopkeeper was quite frightened, Xin You laughed and said, "Well, it's my Kou family's wealth, and it was brought to Shaoqing's Mansion when I went to Beijing. Now that I've grown up, I asked my grandmother to get some back."

   "Some..." Liu Zhou helped his chin.

   This is a small silver mountain, the boss calls it something!

   "Shopkeeper, Liu Zhou, I will trouble you two to check it."

   Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou looked at each other, and walked into the "Silver Mountain" in a daze.

   "Girl, Shitou came to tell that Mr. He is looking for you." Jiang Shuang came to report.

  Xin You guessed that Mr. He must have come for the reward, so he walked to the front.

  Although He Qingxiao's heart was greatly impacted by the six thousand taels, he still had a calm look on his face. When Xin You came in, what she saw was a picture of a handsome young man in a silent trance.

  He Qingxiao heard footsteps and turned around, because there was a stone, and asked, "Is it convenient for Miss Kou to talk?"

  Xin You took him into the reception room, poured tea and asked with a smile, "Master He has gone and returned, what's the matter?"

  He Qingxiao took out the small box and put it in front of Xinyou.

   "I didn't expect Miss Kou's reward to be 6,000 taels, so much money is really unacceptable."

   "Why can't you accept it? Didn't you agree to pay Baiyi to Mr. He?" Xin You tilted her head slightly, full of puzzlement.

   "But Baiyi—"

  How could one hundred one be six thousand taels!

   "One hundred one is exactly six thousand taels, the money I got this time is six hundred thousand." Xin You said lightly.

  He Qingxiao: "..." So it wasn't Miss Kou who deliberately gave more, but she got 600,000 taels!

  It took a while to calm down, He Qingxiao looked at Xin You with complicated eyes: "Six thousand taels is really too much, I just walked around with Miss Kou, I deserve it, please take it back, Miss Kou."

  Xin You pushed the small box back: "In my opinion, 6,000 taels is not much at all. I borrowed Master He's reputation to scare Xiao Xiao, isn't it worth 6,000 taels?"

  He Qingxiao listened, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

  He went to the two banks without revealing his identity. Only Duan Shaoqing knew that he was the envoy of Jinlinwei Town.

  Using "Xiao Xiao" to refer to her uncle, Ms. Kou is really willful. You must know that many people who are in the position of nephews and nephews dare not say a word about their elders in front of outsiders, even if they have suffered great grievances.

   Perhaps since she was sensible, she understood that she was born with invisible shackles. He Qingxiao appreciates free and easy people.

   "Miss Kou—"

  Seeing that He Qingxiao still refused, Xin You's face tensed: "Master He, do you want me to be someone who doesn't keep my word?"

"But-"

   "Or does Mr. He think that my integrity is not worth six thousand taels?"

  He Qingxiao was at a loss for words.

  Xin You stuffed the small box into his hand, and said with a smile: "If Mr. He thinks there are more than expected, can you do one more thing for me?"

  He Qingxiao stared at the small box for a moment, then compromised.

   If you continue to refuse, Ms. Kou will get angry.

  Miss Kou was angry and he had the audacity to accept six thousand taels of reward, but he still chose the latter.

   "Miss Kou, please tell me."

  Xin You handed over the list that he had compiled after returning to the east courtyard of the bookstore: "I would like to ask Mr. He to check for me the shops on this list to see if there is any problem."

   It is impossible for her to let them take back what the Shaoqing Mansion spit out. Whether the value of these dozens of shops is worth 150,000 taels is not up to Duan Shaoqing.

  However, these shops are scattered all over the place, and they operate in different directions. It would take too much time for her to investigate slowly. Since Mr. He felt that he took more than six thousand taels, he just happened to help her with something, so that Mr. He could feel at ease and save her trouble.

  He Qingxiao took the list and glanced at it: "These shops—"

   "It's all mine."

  He Qingxiao shook the hand holding the list, and was speechless for a long time.

   "Master He?"

   "Oh, good. When will Ms. Kou get the result?"

   "There's no rush, just a year ago."

   It’s not long before Chinese New Year.

  After He Qingxiao left, Xin You returned to the East Courtyard.

  Jiangshuang was guarding the door, shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou had lost themselves in the silver mountain, Xiao Lian was helping at the side, Nanny Fang—

  Xin You saw Mother Fang wiping her tears.

   "Why is the nanny crying?" She walked over and asked.

  Nurse Fang wiped her eyes with an excited expression: "This old slave is happy, happy..."

  When she was driven to Zhuangzi by Shaoqing's mansion, she never dreamed that she would have today.

   "Madam would be so happy if she knew." Tears welled up in Nanny Fang's eyes again.

  For Madam, it is a blessing that the girl can grow up safely and get out of the cabinet with a decent dowry.

  Nurse Fang felt sad when she thought of Kou's mother who was on the sick bed, and put her hands together and murmured: "Ma'am, the girl has grown up and is promising, don't worry..."

  Xin You turned her face away, her eyes blushing quietly.

  In the evening of this day, shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou supported each other to go to the west courtyard for dinner.

  The west courtyard is connected to the printing workshop, and most people in the bookstore eat and sleep in the west courtyard.

   "Shopkeeper, you look quite tired, are you busy again?" Manager Zhao asked in confusion.

  Although the popularity of "Painted Skin" is still there, why not reprint it, and Mr. Songling's new book has not yet come out.

   Shopkeeper Hu didn't even have the strength to wave his hands: "Don't ask, let's eat."

  When the big white steamed buns were served, shopkeeper Hu suddenly thought of Yin Yuanbao, and the chopsticks fell on the table.

   "Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?"

   Shopkeeper Hu took a deep look at Zhao Guanshi, and suddenly asked: "Brother Zhao, have you ever seen Yinzi get scared?"

   Manager Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and reached out to touch shopkeeper Hu's forehead.

   It's over, it's over, Lao Hu seems to be stupid!

  Under the candlelight in the east courtyard room, Xin You called Xiao Lian closer.

   "What's your order, Miss?" Until now, Xiao Lian's eyes were still shining with excitement.

  Xin You turned over her hands and put the two small chapters on the table.

   "One of these two small chapters belongs to Jinsheng Bank, and the other belongs to Bao'an Bank. A total of 400,000 taels of silver can be withdrawn."

  Xiao Lian was in a daze, not knowing why Xin You was telling her this.
