Chapter 110 Social Death Scene
Mu Jin nodded to Su Yi, and looking at Zhao Yefan who looked very angry about something, he said, "What are you talking about? Why does Boss Zhao look so ugly, as if someone owes him hundreds of thousands of taels?"
Zhao Yefan gnashed his teeth and said, "Miss Mu has good eyesight. What I have encountered is indeed more serious than others owing hundreds of thousands of taels and not paying them back."
Mu Jin was surprised: "What happened? Is it so serious?"
Zhao Yefan sneered and said, "It's just that this prince met the wrong person, so let's not talk about it."
Su Yi brought a cup of tea to Mu Jin: "Come, Jin, have some tea. Don't worry about him. Boss Zhao is very capable. How could anyone be able to stop him?"
After Su Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Yefan with a smile on his face, but his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be saying, stop it for me, if you keep pushing me, your life will be in danger.
Zhao Yefan knew that no matter how much anyone said, Su Yi's decision would not change. He used a lot of strength to suppress his anger, pulled the corners of his mouth hard, and smiled at Mu Jin.
Mu Jin looked at Zhao Yefan's forced smile and couldn't help but say, "Boss Zhao, if you are unhappy, don't smile. Your smile now is worse than crying."
When Zhao Yefan heard Mu Jin say this, he was so angry at the couple in front of him that he lost his temper. He seemed to have accepted his fate and spoke to Su Yi and Mu Jin with a bitter face.
"You two should stop irritating me. How about we get back to the point?"
Mu Jin nodded and put down the teacup: "To be honest, the grain I want to buy this time is not for the general's residence's daily use, but the world is not good this year, I am afraid that the court can't take care of the soldiers at the border, so I want to trouble Boss Zhao to help buy a batch of grain and send it to the border for my father's military use."
Zhao Yefan said: "Miss Mu, you are treating us as your own people?"
Su Yi said: "Ajin only treats me as one of his own, you don't have to take it personally, but if you dare to leak it out, you won't have to take your life."
"You! Yes, yes, yes, I am just being sentimental. In this world, King Yi and Miss Mu are the only ones who are my own people." Zhao Yefan replied sarcastically.
Mu Jin glared at Su Yi, signaling him to stop talking. Seeing Mu Jin glaring at him, Su Yi put his finger on his lips and made a gesture to shut up immediately.
"I'm too ashamed to watch this. I really can't bear to watch this anymore. God, please poke out my eyes!" Zhao Yefan couldn't help but shout in his heart as he watched Mu Jin and Su Yi's little actions.
Mu Jin said: "King Yi told me that Boss Zhao has a way to buy grain from Southern Shu. I wonder if it's possible."
Zhao Yefan glanced at Su Yi, then said slowly: "King Yi said that this prince has it, how dare this prince not have it."
Mu Jin couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Zhao Yefan say this: "Then I wonder how long it will take to collect 30,000 shi of grain?"
"It takes at least a month from purchase to delivery to the border."
"It takes so long?" Mu Jin asked in surprise.
"Of course. To ensure the safety of the food and reduce the loss of food on the road, we have to go by water first, and then by land, to ensure that this batch of food shipped to the border is safe."
After hearing what Zhao Yefan said, Mu Jin couldn't help but nodded: "Then I wonder how much silver taels will be needed for 30,000 dan of grain?"
Zhao Yefan said: "At least two hundred thousand taels of silver."
Mu Jin frowned: "It's so much?"
Mu Jin had calculated that after selling her dowry, the jewelry given by Su Yi, and Li Yansong's ring, the maximum she could get would be 18 taels of silver.
Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi, coughed a little embarrassedly, and whispered to Zhao Yefan: "I wonder if the jewels my maid brought yesterday are worth 20 taels of silver?"
Su Yi looked at Mu Jin's guilty expression and said to her with some ill intentions: "What kind of jewelry is Jin going to sell that is worth so much silver?"
Mu Jin touched his nose and smiled at Su Yi awkwardly.
"Didn't I divorce Su Yuntian? I got back a lot of dowry, and it would be a waste to just leave it there. So I thought, why not sell it and buy some military rations for Daddy."
Hearing Mu Jin say this, Zhao Yefan lifted the cloth covering the table next to him, pointed at the exposed jewels and asked, "Miss Mu, are you talking about this?"
To be honest, the moment Zhao Yefan lifted the tablecloth, Mu Jin really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She had just said that the jewelry she wanted to sell was the dowry she brought back from Prince Yun's Palace, but then it turned out to be the jewelry given by Su Yi. This was a slap in the face, something she had never encountered in this world or in the Dongyue Kingdom.
"Eh~Except for this jade ring, weren't these jewels given to Ah Jin as an apology? When did they become Ah Jin's dowry? Or have you always regarded these jewels given by the king as your future dowry?"
Su Yi took the jade ring that Li Yan had given him and asked Mu Jin with a nasty smile.
Mu Jin said in panic, "No! Absolutely not! I asked Qing'er to bring all my unused jewels to Shuyu Tower to sell. I thought she took the dowry that was moved back from Prince Yun's Mansion."
Su Yi looked at Mu Jin with a smile: "Oh~really? But if you say it is, then it is, Ajin. Why are you blushing with anxiety? I am not saying that I don't believe you."
"Who is blushing? It's just that we left in a hurry today, and Qing'er made me wear more clothes, so I'm hot." Mu Jin replied to Su Yi anxiously.
Su Yi replied, "Oh~" and his words meant that he believed Mu Jin, but his tone clearly said, "Do you think I'm easy to fool? Can you trust what you say?"
Mu Jin picked up the tea beside her and took a sip, hiding her embarrassment at the moment, and kept turning her eyes, thinking about how to make up for it. She thought for a long time before speaking.
"But it's not wrong for Qing'er to bring these jewels. It's true that these jewels that I didn't have were given to me by King Yi as an apology, but what was given to me is mine. No one else can say a word about how I should deal with them. Don't you think so, King Yi?"
Su Yi looked at Mu Jin and glared at him, as if he would be in trouble if he dared to say anything against him.
Su Yi couldn't help but laugh: "No one said you weren't, I just asked you casually, look how anxious you are."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he licked some hot tea for Mu Jin: "After talking so much, your mouth must be thirsty. Hurry up and drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Then he turned to look at Zhao Yefan: "Ah Jin just asked you how much these jewels are worth in silver, tell me quickly."
Zhao Yefan couldn't bear to see Su Yi being worthless in front of Mu Jin. He closed his eyes and said resignedly, "Miss Mu, these jewels are enough to buy 3 shi of grain."
Mu Jin said happily, "Really?" Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Su Yi.
Su Yi looked at Zhao Yefan and asked lazily, "How much do you think it's worth?"
Zhao Yefan looked at his nose and said, "It's worth 30,000 dan of grain."
Su Yi sneered, "30,000 dan of grain is equivalent to 200,000 taels of silver. Didn't Boss Zhao just tell me that the value of Ah Jin's jewelry has increased rapidly recently, and it can be worth 500,000 taels of silver."
