"Brother Lian, what do you mean by this? Although I have a humble position in the palace, I still have some money for rewards, so there is no need for this."

Yuan Chun's beautiful eyes opened slightly, and she was stunned with three points. , shook his head and smiled with a helpless expression.

While speaking, Yuan Chun glanced back at the room, but the woman who had just led the way was completely missing. Knowing that she had already left, he felt deeply that Jia Lian was worthy of being an extraordinary person. Even a female waitress beside him , also appears different from others.

"Sister, please don't misunderstand me. It's not that I despise my sister, but that I know that the current situation in the palace is complicated. My sister will inevitably be alone in the palace. If we can use money to clear the way, Gathering some slaves for my sister's use may not necessarily be of much help to her, but it can make her live a more relaxed and comfortable life in the palace and avoid the slights of some villains. In this way, my wish is enough."

Jia Lian gave Yuanchun money, naturally in order to further deepen the relationship with Yuanchun based on the previous things, so that she could completely become a part of his strength.

Another purpose is the same as giving 500,000 taels to Princess Zhaoyang, so that Yuanchun can expand his power.

Since we have to help Yuanchun both inside and outside the palace, the role of a Yuanchun whose hands and eyes are open to the sky in the palace is naturally different from a Yuanchun who is restrained everywhere.

In places like the palace, small and large matters and any breaking news may contain huge value.

Although Jia Lian knew that Princess Zhaoyang would definitely place some appropriate spies in the palace, and even in Chonghua Palace, Jia Lian could not completely suppress Zhaoyang in the palace. The princess is alone.

Yuanchun's status is no longer weak now. If she can complete this line and complement it with Princess Zhaoyang, she will be foolproof.

Yuanchun originally thought that Jia Lian was afraid of her difficulties in the palace, so he wanted to provide her with money. She also has self-respect, right? She has a good impression of Jia Lian, her cousin. As the eldest sister, she feels that she has not helped Jia Lian in any way. How can she have the nerve to take money from Jia Lian?

As for what Jia Lian said, she could understand and was moved by it, but she still pushed her hands and said, "Brother Lian, there is no need to say it, I already know your thoughts.

It’s just that my family has spent too much money just for me. How can I bear to ignore the family’s situation and just live a comfortable life for myself?

So, Brother Lian, let’s take it back. I really don’t lack money. Your Majesty... and the Queen are very good to me and never reduce the expenses in my palace, so I really don’t need..."

Yuanchun had already been there before entering the palace. Sensible and somewhat knowledgeable about the family's financial situation.

She knew very well that the government must have overdrawn its finances in order to build this garden and welcome her back to the province. This was confirmed by the insinuations made when Mrs. Wang and others visited her in the palace.

Under such circumstances, how could she take away a large amount of money from home?

Despite what Jia Lian said, he came up with the money himself. But Jia Lian has only been an official for a few years, how much wealth can he have? The palace is the richest place in the world, and a little money can only help her so much. It is better to leave it in Jia Lian's hands to make the family more comfortable.

Therefore, Yuanchun firmly pushed back the banknote handed over by Jia Lian.

At this time in Yuanchun, there is no self-control of a noble concubine of the country. It is like rejecting generous gifts from sisters, relatives and friends when she was a child, and her jade hands directly pressed on the hands handed over by Jia Lian.

She had forgotten that she had a body of gold and jade, and no one except the emperor could touch her body.

Of course, Jia Lian also felt that Yuanchun’s jade hands were glamorous, especially with the blessing of the golden finger cots, they looked even more beautiful, noble and impeccable.

But I don’t have the nerve to look at it more. Seeing that Yuanchun really didn't want his money, Jia Lian simply took back one hand, raised the banknote in his hand with one hand, and said with a smile: "Why don't you, sister, take a look at how much money there is here first?"

Yuanchun was stunned. It turned out that Jia Lian had specially brought her denominations of different sizes in order to facilitate Yuanchun's envoy.

Yuan Chun took a quick look at it just now and saw that it looked like a two hundred tael note. He estimated that the wad Jia Lian gave her was only a few thousand taels, or at most more than ten thousand taels of silver.

This is in line with her positioning of Jia Lian’s wealth! She was still very touched, thinking that Jia Lian might have tightened his belt in order to get so much money for her...

At this time, facing Jia Lian's gaze, she took the bank note numbly, Then with Jia Lian's encouragement, Fang put aside his distracting thoughts and read it.

Then, the expression on her face changed from stunned, to shocked, to even more shocked, and she couldn't stop.

"Here, how much is this?"

Yuanchun was no longer calm, and couldn't help but speed up the reading.

Turn the five thousand taels of silver notes to the bottom, and you will see three thousand taels. Turn it over again, and you will see another five thousand taels...

So, your head is full of gold and jade. Yuan Chun, who was wearing a golden palace robe and should have been full of nobility and majesty, turned out to be like a surprised child, holding the money, staring at Jia Lian with beautiful eyes.

Jia Lian felt funny when he saw this, but as if he didn't understand Yuanchun's shock, he said softly: "It's not much, justOnly two hundred thousand taels. Knowing that it is not as convenient for my sister to be in the palace as she is outside, my younger brother specially changed the money for his sister with different denominations. He even changed it to several banks. "

" Two hundred thousand? That's it? "Yuan Chun stuck out her tongue and took a deep breath.

At this time, she no longer cared about the banknote in her hand. She just looked at Jia Lian's face, as if she wanted to know from his appearance. See why Jia Lian is so rich! If her impression is correct, even if the Rongguo Mansion had to come up with 200,000 in cash, it would be impossible to do, and it would be very difficult. Right? And Jia Lian, just handed so much money to her so lightly?

Seeing Yuanchun staring at him, Jia Lian didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even raised his hand to pluck his forehead hair. He made a bun so that Yuan Chun could see his face more clearly.

His move finally reminded Yuan Chun.

She looked a little embarrassed. He took a step back, then raised the banknote in his hand and asked, "Is all this money yours?" ”

　“Natural. "

Yuan Chun pondered for a moment, "Yes, when I go to Yangzhou for business this spring...? "

Yuan Chun is not stupid. Two hundred thousand taels of silver. According to Jia Lian's official position, ten lifetimes of salary and silver combined are not enough!

So, if it is really Jia Lian's money , the origin must be biased. Thinking about what Jia Lian has done over the years, it seems that just the trip to Yangzhou this spring may have allowed Jia Lian to get so much money.

Everything she felt about Jia Lian I have all learned about these things before.

"Well, well...my sister is really smart. You have guessed all this. Yes, most of the money was indeed obtained at that time. .

But sister, don’t worry, my younger brother is a principled person, and he will never do anything harmful to God or disloyal to His Majesty just for money. "

Since Jia Lian dared to give so much money to Yuan Chun, he was naturally not afraid of her guessing. If Yuan Chun couldn't even guess this, then he would have to think carefully about how much he should bet on Yuan Chun.

Hearing Jia Lian’s words, Yuan Chun smiled and said, “You don’t have to explain this to me, I naturally believe in your character. "

Yuanchun wanted to tease Jia Lian, but suddenly he remembered what Jia Lian had just said and praised her for being smart as ice and snow? She has grown up in an orderly manner. Is this a word that a younger brother should use to praise his older sister?

So I rolled my eyes at Jia Lian and forgot what I wanted to say.

Jia Lian said: "Thank you, sister, for trusting me. But please sister, please don’t tell anyone that I am so rich.

　Right now, because His Majesty has favored me, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at my little brother. I am most afraid of trouble. "

Hearing Jia Lian say this, Yuan Chun also nodded solemnly. Remembering that when Jia Lian first returned to Beijing, there were indeed rumors that Jia Lian was greedy and cruel and was waiting for him. Even she heard about it in the palace. Fortunately, the noise soon subsided.

Unexpectedly, those people did not accuse him unjustly!

This cunning brother...

After slandering Jia Lian, Yuan Chun looked back at the banknotes in his hand, with a look of hesitation in his eyes.

She knew that Jia Lian even admitted the "crime of corruption" in front of her. , he must have given the money to her seriously. But as the saying goes, no reward for no merit, if she really accepted such a large amount of money, how should she repay Jia Lian?

After thinking about it, Yuan Chun said: "You'd better take back this money. I can't use so much money alone in the palace. You should take it yourself, whether it is to support the children of the family or to be filial to the old lady, it will be useful..."

Yuanchun handed the banknote back.

Jia Lian couldn't bear to be polite to Yuan Chun, so he closed her hands and pushed them back to her waist, and then said: "Sister, if you are polite to me again, I will be angry.

Don’t worry, sister, I have already prepared the money that should be used for the places you mentioned.

In addition, to be honest with my sister, I started buying property for my family very early. As long as I am here, the family will never be short of money.

This is only two hundred thousand taels of silver, but I don’t care about it in my little brother’s eyes.

I just hope that if they fall into my sister's hands and they can be of some use to her, I will not be disappointed.

If my sister is polite to me again, she means that she sincerely doesn’t treat me as a biological brother and is trying to draw a clear line with me! ”

No matter how distinguished Yuanchun is, she is only a woman after all. And Jia Lian has long been familiar with a set of methods when dealing with women.

This These words and actions directly dispersed all Yuanchun's worries and reservations.

Facing Jia Lian's sincere eyes, Yuanchun finally nodded.

"That's it, okay. Well... don't worry, I won't let this money go to waste, I will definitely use it where it should be used, so that I can live up to my brother's care for my sister. ”

Yuanchun looked at Jia Lian with rare seriousness in her eyes.

She was not slow, and she understood somewhat in her heart what Jia Lian meant by giving her the money.

She is from the Jia familyA member of the palace originally entered the palace to extend the life of the Jia family. Now that Jia Lian is working so hard for the restoration of the family, how can she, the eldest sister, stand by and not contribute to the family?

In just a moment, she roughly knew where the two hundred thousand taels of silver had gone.

Seeing that there was a city in Yuanchun, Jia Lian felt relieved. He cupped his hands to show approval, but said no more.

And Yuanchun, because his thoughts were too agitated, he didn’t know what to say for a while.

Speaking of which, she and Jia Lian really have a special relationship.

Let’s call them strangers, but not really. After all, they are cousins ​​who grew up in the same mansion. It was impossible to say that he was familiar. Until now, Yuanchun still couldn't put the man in front of him together with the little cousin in his memory.

However, under such a relationship and with such different identities, they actually gathered alone in the dark room to discuss such a secret and important matter.

This is something that only close relatives and trusted people should do.

For a moment, Yuanchun had the illusion that the Jia Lian in front of her, who was calling her each sister affectionately, was really like her biological brother from the same mother, not the one who lived in the same room as her. The estranged cousin.

"My dear, Eunuch Xia said, I should give you a gift..."

Just when Jia Lian and Yuan Chun were worried about each other and didn't know what to say, they approached the Buddhist temple. , came the sound of Yuanchun's maid holding the piano.

Yuan Chun immediately put down all his thoughts, with an extremely desolate look in his eyes.

Giving gifts is the last part of her family visit. She should return to the palace.

Jia Lian hated to see a beautiful woman cry. He almost hesitated, then took a step forward, gently hugged Yuan Chun with one hand, and said warmly: "Sister, there is no need to be sad. If you miss us, just give the order." Just let us go to the palace to see you.

If you are homesick... As I said before, we will just bring my sister back next year."

Although Jia Lian is like this The hug was very polite. He just took advantage of his height and patted her on the shoulder. There was no other contact, but Yuanchun suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She quickly took two steps back and said angrily: "Don't be rude."

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, Yuan Chun himself laughed, thinking of something, and then He raised his head and said, "It's enough to go home and have a look. It doesn't matter whether I can come back in the future.

But you...you are dedicated to serving in the army and restoring your ancestors. Although Rong Guang's thoughts are not wrong, the battlefield is dangerous and one should act with caution.

It is so easy to have you in our family. You are my Jiamen, the most important treasure. Take care of me and cherish it..."

Jia Lian did not expect Yuanchun to suddenly come to such a paragraph, He raised his eyebrows, bent down and bowed: "Little brother, please follow the teachings of eldest sister! "

When Yuan Chun saw this, he smiled and shook his head. He took one last look at Jia Lian and turned back.

But Jia Lian stood there for a long time before sighing again. .

How could the old emperor not like such a good woman...
