    "How much will it cost to repair it so that no cracks can be seen?" Qinghe looked at the carpenter Uncle Liu with trust.

    Uncle Liu frowned and sighed: "This is really not cheap, Mr. Qing. If you don't want to see the cracks, you can't partially paint, glue, and polish. I won't give you a penny for these manual tasks."  , but there is only a fixed amount of royal paint every month, so I have to ask the purchaser to allocate an extra bucket to repair this wooden horse. As you know, I am a craftsman, and I don¡¯t see my master on weekdays. I only have two taels.  I can't afford the cost of this bucket of paint if I live on a monthly basis of silver."

    Xue Yao closed his eyes in despair.

    I'm afraid I'm going to bleed heavily now.

    Qinghe's face also changed. Seeing that Uncle Liu had a big appetite, he asked unkindly: "How much does it cost? Please give me a real price. Of course I won't hesitate. But if I can't afford it, I can only give it to you."  Move the wooden horse away and find someone to find a solution after leaving the palace."

    Qinghe knew this well, and said this just to threaten Uncle Liu: Don't ask for too much price difference from the carpenter outside the palace, otherwise you will be in trouble.

    But he was still young after all, so how could Uncle Liu know what he was doing? He knew that it would cost several taels of silver to transport such a large wooden horse out of the palace, and to guard it. There were many checkpoints in the palace, and it might even be impossible to get through a certain door, and the attempt would be in vain.

    So what Qing He said could not threaten Uncle Liu at all.

    Uncle Liu calculated how many gates the wooden horse had to pass through to transport the wooden horse out of the palace, and he roughly knew how much money it would cost. He was not as open as the lion, so he only wanted 60% of the cost. He raised his hand and said, "This is the amount.  "

    Xue Yao raised his eyes alertly and saw him making a sign of four, feeling depressed and relieved at the same time.

    What¡¯s depressing is that the asking price is at least four times higher than outside the palace. What¡¯s relieved is that he can still afford four taels, and Qing He can afford half of it, which is only two taels of silver.

    You have to think about it this way. It was indeed the original owner Xue Yao who was responsible for smashing the wooden horse. Logically speaking, it would be reasonable for him to pay the entire maintenance fee. The market price of the maintenance fee is one tael of silver. If he wants to pay 2 taels now, it doesn't count.  It¡¯s too boring.

    Xue Yao was busy comforting himself, but unexpectedly Qing He got angry, picked up the wooden horse and was about to leave!

    "Brother Yao, let's go and find someone outside the palace to help repair it. I can't even afford the four taels of silver if I sell it! If we can't do it, we will be kicked out of the study room!" Qinghe looked angrily at the eunuchs around him.  He cupped his hands and said, "I'll bid you farewell today. The days ahead are long. If I, Zhao Qinghe, am named on the Luck Gold List in the future, I will never forget Uncle Liu's 'care' for me when I enter the court again!"

    He actually started to threaten.

    Xue Yao remembered that Qing He did not have any outstanding performance in his studies, and it was impossible to be nominated for the gold list. He was also mentioned several times in the novel. When Qing He grew up, like Xue Yao, he became an aide in the third prince's house.

    When the eunuch who was watching the excitement heard that he was about to be kicked out of the palace, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Don't worry, Mr. Qing, the price is not dead, we are all our own people, where can we go and talk to you about the purchase?"  !¡±

    With that said, the leading eunuch turned around and glared at Uncle Liu fiercely, warning him not to be too greedy.

    Qinghe is their little benefactor who runs errands outside the palace. For this favor, he must help sincerely.

    Uncle Liu was unmoved. He was indeed just a craftsman. He had no contact with his master, no reward, and no need for Qinghe to help him run errands.

    Speaking of friendship, when the eunuchs invited Qinghe to eat and drink, he could also get a small bite.

    Uncle Liu has been coveting other people's "windfall" for a long time. This time he finally caught someone doing something private. How could he let go of the opportunity to kill people?

    Seeing this situation, Xue Yao felt that there was still a possibility of saving money. He immediately looked at the young carpenters around him who were working hard, and asked Qing He in confusion: "He is not the only carpenter here, so we can't replace him with someone else."  Ask?"

    When Qinghe heard this, he glanced at Xue Yao impatiently, obviously thinking that he didn't understand anything.

    Now he was not even in the mood to explain. Qinghe held the Trojan horse and pretended to leave, but continued to argue with the eunuchs: "It's better not to embarrass Uncle Liu, but I really can't afford four taels of silver. Everyone knows me and gives me everything on weekdays.  Everyone is busy, even if they are a little selfish, I can get away with not to mention four taels, forty taels, but I didn't expect that I would take out others' hearts, and others would take advantage of me"

    "Master Qing, don't be angry!" The eunuchs were afraid of offending Qing He, so they took some practical actions: "Put this wooden horse here and pick it up the day after tomorrow. I'll give you a brand new one to bring back. As for the money, how much money can you raise?"  , just collect as much as you can, if it¡¯s not enough, our family will collect it for you!¡±

    Qinghe then stopped his "performance" of squeezing out, looked back at the eunuch who was speaking, and feltbsp; Concubine Xi still looked unhappy, lowered her eyes and said coldly: "So you are copying books? No wonder you don't have time to come forward in person, and send a child like you to hang around in front of me. I thought he hated the emperor's rebuke. On the contrary,  Concubine Tong invited me to reward you with her yesterday ahem"

    Before she could finish her words, she suddenly coughed, and the maid hurriedly picked up the tea cup and handed it to her.

    Concubine Xi seemed to be a little dizzy. She held her forehead with one hand and pushed away the tea cup with the other. She closed her eyes and panted slightly. The appearance of this sick Xi Shi was really distressing.

    But because of her appearance, Xue Yao remembered a plot from the early part of the original work - after the third prince offended the seventh prince, the third prince's biological mother, Concubine Tong, went to the Qingqiong Palace in person to apologize, and also invited Concubine Xi to enjoy the show with her.

    When Xue Yao thought of this, his expression suddenly changed.

    Thinking about it, in this plot, Concubine Tong pretended to feel guilty and gave many gifts to please Concubine Xi, including a soothing sachet.

    Just like the plot of a traditional palace fight, this sachet has a lot of mystery. It is said that if it is worn close to the body for a long time, the body will produce a natural body fragrance, but in fact, this spice was mixed with toxic powder, which eventually caused the concubine Xi's death.  The baby girl she conceived later was born prematurely and died less than a month after delivery.

    This is also one of the crimes committed by the third prince and his mother and concubine to bully the male protagonist.

    This is an opportunity. If you can successfully remind Concubine Xi to change the medicinal materials in the sachet, you will not only gain Concubine Xi's favor, but also save the life of the future baby girl. I wonder how much money you can earn to clear yourself up.

    " However, if he informs Concubine Xi, it will have a huge impact on the original plot. The seventh prince will have to find a surviving sister out of thin air.

    Xue Yao was worried whether he would be punished for changing the plot, not to mention, what evidence did he have to prove that there were dangerous ingredients in the sachet?  In the original work, even the imperial doctor couldn't find him out. Is he an eight-year-old child convincing?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
