Chapter 1161: Guests from Beijing!
Lin Qingshan nodded and said, " Uncle village chief, this is my biological uncle. When I saw uncle just now, I remembered everything!" Of course, this was a lie.
Lin Yiwei was speechless. When he lost his memory, he had been calling him Grandpa Village Chief, but now it was Uncle Village Chief.
He was now very sure that Lin Qingshan had indeed recovered his memories.
Emperor Yuwen Longyan thanked Lin Yiwei sincerely and kindly, " Thank you so much for taking care of my nephew for so long!"
As he spoke, he signaled Eunuch Zhang with his eyes. Then, Eunuch Zhang immediately took out ten golden ingots and handed them to Lin Yiwei.
Since he was disguised as a big merchant, he was definitely not short of money. Ten gold ingots at once was naturally a small matter.
One ingot of gold was worth a hundred taels of silver, so ten ingots of gold were worth a thousand taels of silver.
When Li Zhenglin saw that Lin Qingshan's uncle was willing to repay him with a thousand taels of silver, he was shocked.
He hurriedly rejected him. " Old Master Wen, you're too polite. I ... I didn't actually do anything. The people who carried him back from the mountains were from the village. The one who saved him was Doctor Zhang. I only let him stay for a few days. Ever since he woke up, he has helped my family do a lot of work. If we calculate it according to the salary, I basically have to pay him.
"Why would I need Old Master Wen's money now?"
A thousand taels of silver was truly a huge sum.
Although his family was not short of money, they were not very rich either. For a huge sum like 1,000 taels of silver, it was quite tempting.
However, Lin Yiwei had always been a man of good character and integrity. He would not take a single copper coin if he did not deserve it.
Lin Qingshan's real name was Wen Ming. Ever since he woke up the first day, he had been working hard for them. Later, he went to work in Taoyuan Village and gave all the money he received to Lin Yiwei.
Under such circumstances, how could he take another thousand taels of silver for free?
However, Lin Yiwei looked at Wen Ming's uncle and felt some instinctive fear and awe in his heart. It was like an abyss in front of him, a bottomless panic.
But at the same time, Old Master Wen had a kind face and an extraordinary bearing, but he faintly revealed a dignified aura. It was a kind of arrogance that looked down on the world and the aura of a superior.
Lin Yiwei didn't know why he had this feeling, but he guessed that this Old Master Wen was not a businessman but had some other identity. It was just that it was more convenient to travel as a businessman.
Of course, this was their business, so Lin Yiwei didn't ask too much.
Hearing Lin Yiwei reject so much money, Old Master Wen was slightly surprised.
To his knowledge, ten gold ingots was a huge sum of money for an ordinary villager.
This was a huge temptation.
Old Master Wen's expression was slightly serious as he said, " Village chief, it's a fact that you saved my Ming 'er. I'm a businessman. I don't know how to express my gratitude. In that case, I can only use some money to express my gratitude to you for taking care of my Ming' er. So, you should take this money!"
The last sentence sounded very normal, but Lin Yiwei felt like he was giving an order.
In other words, you have to accept this money even if you don't want to!
Lin Yiwei immediately shook his head, thinking that his perception was wrong.
In the end, Lin Yiwei couldn't refuse, so he had to haggle. In the end, he accepted five gold ingots.
Lin Yiwei felt embarrassed but helpless. In the end, he sighed lightly and said to Wen Ming and Old Master Wen, " In that case, I'll accept this money. You two haven't seen each other for a long time. You should have something to say. Then you guys chat first. I'll leave first!"
Old Master Wen and Wen Ming didn't refuse.
After Lin Yiwei left, Wu Ming's expression immediately became serious and respectful. He knelt down and greeted Yuwen Longyan.
Yuwen Longyan sat in his seat and said with a dignified expression, " Get up!"
This expression was completely different from his amiable appearance just now.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Tell me everything that happened in the Lin family village and Taoyuan village recently!"
Wu Ming was speechless.
Clearly, His Majesty was busy with state affairs.
Now that he was secretly out of the palace, not only was he incognito, he was actually so interested in the matters of the two small villages.
