Chapter 286 Not even one copper can be missing
When the Queen Mother heard Xiao Ling say this, she felt that the exquisite zither should be in the hands of the royal family: "Two thousand taels of gold is two thousand pieces of gold!"
After saying that, he looked at Ouyang Ming who was not far away and said, "Your Majesty, let's do this."
When Ouyang Ming heard Xiao Ling say that if he disagreed, it would be fine, he felt a little anxious, but he couldn't refute the Queen Mother's opinion in front of everyone. After all, the Queen Mother was his elder. Dong Qin attached great importance to filial piety. How could he, as the emperor, take the lead in being unfilial?
But now that the Queen Mother had spoken, if he continued speaking, he would not only get the Jinxiu Linglong Qin, but also would not have to disobey the Queen Mother's wishes, and he would also give Bai Wei the compensation she wanted, thus killing three birds with one stone.
"Okay, let's do as the Queen Mother wishes."
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart.
It seems that I still have to pay less.
The Queen Mother said calmly, "The Emperor will arrange for the Imperial Guards to deliver this gold to your General's Mansion tomorrow. You might as well hand this exquisite harp to the Emperor yourself now."
Bai Wei heard this and smiled, "Business has always been about paying for goods in full..."
After these words came out, the expressions of the Queen Mother and the Emperor were not very good. The Queen Mother even said bluntly: "What, General Bai means that you are doing business with the Emperor now? You are so bold!"
It turned out to be the child born to Xiao Ning's woman. He was just as arrogant and conceited, and did not distinguish between superiors and subordinates.
Bai Wei took a step back and stood behind Xiao Ling. She looked frightened and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. Wei'er is just slow in speaking. You are in a hurry to accuse Wei'er before she has finished her sentence."
Xiao Ling immediately protected Bai Wei: "Empress Dowager, Wei'er has suffered a lot of injustice and fright today. She is timid by nature. How can you treat her like this!"
When the Queen Mother saw this, she felt a throbbing pain between her eyebrows.
Timid?
She saw that she was very courageous, and she was very impressive in the competition. She was calm and cunning when she pointed out Qinglian Zhenren. She didn't change her expression or heartbeat when facing Xiao Ning's ghost. Now she was afraid to hide behind Xiao Ling just because she said a few words?
This was clearly telling everyone that she, the empress dowager, was bullying a little girl!
Although... he was indeed using his power to pressure her, she said it in front of everyone, that she was wrong and immature, but she couldn't get angry, because after getting angry and making things difficult, no one would say anything openly, but who knows what they would say in private.
Just now he called himself "General", and now he calls himself "Weier".
This girl is obviously more cunning and more difficult to deal with than Xiao Ning's stubborn daughter.
No one wants to become the topic of gossip after dinner: "It's my fault for not listening to the end of what you said. What did Weier want to say just now?"
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows.
As expected, she is the champion of the last palace fight. Her ability to manage emotions is quite good. "What Wei'er wants to say is that although business requires payment in full, Wei'er is willing to trust the emperor, so she presented the exquisite harp in advance."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and presented it with both hands.
Ouyang Ming looked at the phone handed to him and suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken.
This is the exquisite and beautiful harp, a treasure of the immortals!
Although he was a little excited, he still had to maintain his dignity: "Eunuch Gui, put this precious zither away."
When Eunuch Gui heard this, he immediately looked at a palace maid not far away. The palace maid understood what he meant and brought a very delicate red and gold tray. Eunuch Gui walked up to Bai Wei with the tray and said, "General Bai, please put Baoqin on the tray."
As he spoke, he was obviously a little excited. After all, what he was about to receive was a fairy's item, so it was impossible for him not to be nervous.
Bai Wei placed the phone on the tray with a respectful and serious attitude.
Eunuch Gui was obviously stunned when he received the call.
Because this thing is much lighter than he imagined.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of this that it is a rare treasure!
Thinking of this, he quickly brought the tray to the emperor.
The emperor picked up the phone and looked at Bai Wei's rhinestone phone case shining brightly under the torchlight, and he felt indescribably happy. He originally thought that two thousand taels of gold was a lot and was very distressed, but now that he saw the beautiful and exquisite zither so close at hand, he no longer felt distressed.
“It’s a real treasure.”
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows but remained noncommittal.
Although mobile phones were not considered treasures before traveling through time, in Dongqin, they were indeed great treasures that brought together countless wisdom and the crystallization of technology.
"Thank you, His Majesty, for rewarding me with two thousand six hundred taels of gold and a pair of jade bracelets today."
After saying this, he bowed respectfully again.
Ouyang Ming was slightly stunned and was stunned for a long while.
Isn't it two thousand taels? How come there are six hundred more taels?
But thinking back carefully... the jade bracelet, he seemed to remember it again. He made the promise when Bai Wei competed with Nanjiang at the Taiping Banquet.
"No, didn't you just win two matches?"
There was a match of horse riding and archery, which ended in a draw.
Bai Wei said calmly, "Because the emperor said before that he would compensate me with two hundred taels of gold on behalf of Prince Qi. Did the emperor forget?"
Ouyang Ming: “…”
He really forgot about this matter, but when Bai Wei mentioned it, he seemed to have some memory of it. As the emperor, he must keep his word!
"No problem, no problem. Since I have already promised, I will definitely send all the gold to the General's Mansion."
His heart was bleeding, but as a king, he must not let anyone see it. Fortunately, Nanjiang came to negotiate this time, which meant that there would be no more wars in the southern border recently. It could rest and recuperate, saving a lot of military expenses. More importantly, Bai Wei won two cities for Dongqin at the Taiping Banquet today, and now presented the Jinxiu Linglong Qin.
This money cannot be less than a penny.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ouyang Ming's teeth were sore, but he didn't say a single bad word: "General Bai, you are too polite. But how do I use this zither? Is Wei'er willing to teach me?"
Bai Wei smiled and said, "I once said that it took me half a year to get in harmony with the soul of this exquisite harp, and at that time that strange man helped me with my magical power. Now, after that strange man taught me, he flew away on a crane, and I don't know where to find him.
I don't know if this thing can be passed on, but I think Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven after all, and has the spirit of a true dragon. This treasure should be more willing to have a master like Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please try the method that the strange man taught me, but without the magic power of the strange man, it may take longer than mine."
Well, she admitted that the whole story was all made up by her and she improvised it on the spot.
When Ouyang Ming heard that Bai Wei flew away on a crane, he felt that this so-called exquisite harp was a treasure. He even thought that the reason why Bai Wei's face recovered was not necessarily due to her half-baked medical skills, but perhaps it was because of the nourishment of this fairy treasure.
So, Ouyang Ming tried his best to suppress the joy on his face, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes and asked: "What is the specific method that the strange man taught you?"
Bai Wei suddenly became nervous. After looking around, she said mysteriously, "This secret method cannot be told to outsiders. When I go back today, I will write a letter. When Eunuch Gui delivers the letter tomorrow, I will ask him to take it back to the palace. How about that?"
