Chapter 75: I don't want five thousand taels

"Don't worry, Xiangjun, I finally came to this world, met my parents and family, and met you, how could I not cherish the happiness in front of me? Even for you, I will definitely cherish my life, and I will do my best to protect my promiscuous body."

When Ma Mingfeng talked about his emotional part, he couldn't help but hold Li Xiangjun's tenderness.

Li Xiangjun seemed to be electrocuted and hurriedly wanted to pull her hand out, but after a few strokes, she didn't twitch, so she had to blush and let Ma Mingfeng hold his hand.

"Lang, Langjun..." Li Xiangjun murmured in a low voice: "My mother will see..."

Ma Mingfeng laughed and said, "What's the matter? Don't Zhenniang know what the relationship between us is? You will be my wife in the future. We will do something much closer in the future. We will blush even if we hold a little hand. How can this work?"

"Ah?" When Li Xiangjun heard this, her little face turned redder, and her heart was like a deer bumping around. She wanted to pull her hand out, but the hand was soft and weak.

At this moment, the door creaked open, revealing Li Zhenli's smiling face.

"Hehe, it's not the time for them to come. You guys will continue. When I'm done, I'll send someone to bring wine and food..."

"My mother, what are you talking about?" Li Xiangjun was even more ashamed at this time and hurriedly pulled his hand back with his strength. However, he did not expect that Ma Mingfeng did not use any force at this time, and his little hand gently broke free from someone's claws.

Although Ma Mingfeng was calm on the surface just now, this was the first time he had held a girl's hand in his two lives. He was excited, but he was knocked out by Li Zhenli. He felt like he was a thief and was discovered by someone else. Where could he have the strength to hold Li Xiangjun's hand? Naturally, he was gently pulled out.

However, Ma Mingfeng still has some calm skills, and he can pretend to be calm in front of the rioters, let alone the little wind and small waves in front of him?

So Ma Mingfeng just smiled and said, "So the wine and food are ready? This is a clever plan. Zhenniang, please send someone to deliver it. Today I want to drink and enjoy the flowers and enjoy the beauty under the lamp."

"Haha, juren, the food and drink will be here soon. You will talk first. I will send someone to wait at the entrance of the building. If you have any needs, just call them. Of course, if you don't need it, don't worry about them, because without your instructions, they will not dare to approach."

After Li Zhenli finished speaking, she gave Ma Mingfeng a knowing smile and turned around and was about to leave.

But he saw Ma Mingfeng laughing and said, "Jinniang, wait."

"I wonder what the juren has to give?" Li Zhenli asked with a smile.

Ma Mingfeng laughed and said, "I dare not give me instructions, but I am dedicated and full of flowers. Why don't Zhenniang sit down and drink a few drinks together? Wansheng is about to pay you a good reward through tonight's banquet."

"Oh, I don't dare to take this. If you have this intention, hand over the five thousand taels of silver early and marry Xiangjun home. Even if I have the best reward for me, I am now missing the courtesans in the township, and the business is getting worse day by day. I have to borrow the five thousand taels of silver and introduce a few more girls so that my business can prosper again."

"Five thousand taels of silver have actually been prepared, but I spent it again." Ma Mingfeng saw that when he said this, both Li Zhenniang and Li Xiangjun changed their expressions, but he could only sigh and explain: "Don't worry, listen to me. This time I went to Guiyang, I bought all the silver I earned from doing business and transported it to Nanjing to store it. Do you know why?"

When I saw the two girls shaking their heads, Ma Mingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "On the way to Guiyang, I met a Taoist priest who told me that there will be a drought in Nanjing next spring. By that time, the food prices will definitely skyrocket, and countless people will die of hunger. The reason why I used all my money to buy white rice is, on the one hand, of course, I also wanted to make some money, but on the other hand, I also wanted to leave a part to make porridge and give alms to those poor poor people, perhaps they can save their lives."

"You have a Bodhisattva heart, but are you a little stupid? You believe it by a Taoist priest who travels around the world casually? If there is no drought next year, it will be a good weather, will you lose a lot this time?" Li Zhenniang said while sitting down and saying to Ma Mingfeng "I hate it but not steel."

Ma Mingfeng shook his head and said, "This possibility should be unlikely. The Taoist priest of Yunyou made a fuss and said that if he meets a noble person in the provincial examination this time, he will definitely pass the second place in the undergraduate examination. The result was fulfilled. So when the results of the provincial examination came out, I became more and more convinced that the words of this Taoist priest of Yunyou would not be fake. Therefore, I became more and more worried about the disaster in Nanjing next spring. Once it was really like a prophecy, I really didn't know what a miserable situation would happen in this prosperous Nanjing city? It's a pity that I could not stay in Nanjing at that time and could not personally distribute charity porridge to the affected people..."

In fact, Ma Mingfeng did not meet any Taoist Yunyou at all. All of this was seen in later history books, but he could not say it directly, so he could only fabricate a Taoist Yunyou out of thin air to make excuses.

But people in that era believed this, and they heard Ma Mingfeng say it with a nose and eyes, and they all believed it for a moment, and were full of worries, not because they were worried about themselves, but because these two women were chivalrous and were deeply worried about the people who had no food after the disaster came.

After hesitating for a while, Li Zhenli suddenly said, "If it is really as you said, there will be disasters at that time, but you are willing to give charity porridge, I would rather not have the 5,000 taels of silver. I just regard it as a kindness to support you."

"That's not possible." Ma Mingfeng said suddenly as soon as he heard this: "No one knows whether there will be a famine at that time. Besides, the total price of my food is only 5,000 taels of silver. Such a huge batch of goods cannot be allowed to pay for me. Besides, Zhenniang, you are counting on these 5,000 taels of silver to revitalize the business. It is appropriate to offer some love to the victims, but you can't drink the northwest wind by yourself, right? If my uncle knows, why don't he beat me to death?"

"Although you are right, if the disaster really comes, I can't do nothing. This way, if the disaster really comes, I still insist that I don't want the five thousand taels, but you are responsible for revitalizing my business. As long as you can find a way to make my business better again, even if you don't spend a ounce of silver, this is your ability. If the business doesn't get better, it's your business to spend 10,000 taels. What do you think?"
