Medical skills help me win the arrogant husband

Chapter 59

Chu Shuo hid the joy in his eyes and said, "Mother, elder brother is your biological son after all, you should give elder brother another chance."

A maid came in and blessed her body: "Madam, someone from the second gate sent a message in, saying that someone sent a letter to Madam. Please take a look at it."

"Bring it up." Mrs. Chu recovered her complexion and said calmly.

The maid handed over the envelope with both hands.

Mrs. Chu opened the envelope and opened the note. Looking at it, she felt as if struck by lightning, and her eyes were almost black.

"Mom, what's the matter with you?" Chu Shuo was startled, he quickly supported her, and read the words on it.

Just a simple sentence.

"Prepare [-] taels of silver in exchange for Mama Wu." The signature is the world's number one gang, the Beggars' Gang.There was a line of small characters underneath, but Chu Shuo couldn't read it clearly.

This is clearly a blackmail letter.

But Mrs. Chu's face was pale, her whole body was trembling, her eyes were wide open, and she remained calm in front of her son.She also found a reason to send her son away. As soon as Chu Shuo left, Mrs. Chu's whole body was exhausted and she almost fell to the ground.

……

Big Buddha Temple.

Zhou Qing took a wooden box and came to Chu Rui's temporary rest place in the Great Buddha Temple.

"My lord, this is the box that Wan Liang gave me, saying that I want to give it to my lord by name." Zhou Qing handed the wooden box to Chu Rui.

Chu Rui opened the box, and there were [-] taels of silver bills lying inside.

Zhou Qing also saw the banknote, his mouth was wide open.

"Wan Liang, boy, as a secret guard, he has the ability to get so much money back." Zhou Qing was envious and jealous.

Chu Rui put away the banknotes, and said lightly: "How can Wan Liang have such skills."

"Then whose banknote is it?"

"Of course it belongs to our government."

……

Protector's Mansion.

Mother Zhao took an inventory of Mrs. Chu's private room, and couldn't bear it any longer. She had to take the box containing the banknotes and said to Mrs. Chu, "Madam, in just a few days, you have withdrawn a full thirty thousand taels of silver. Your Private savings are running out."

Mother Zhao is Mrs. Chu's confidant and has been with Mrs. Chu for ten years.

Zhao's mother is proficient in financial arithmetic, so she is in charge of Mrs. Chu's private savings.

Mrs. Zhao loves the second master, third master and fourth young lady. Mother Zhao knows that, in addition to the monthly allowance from the public, Mrs. Chu also subsidizes a lot in private.

Part of the money that Mrs. Chu subsidized was her own dowry, and the other part was deducted by the housekeeper.

In the past, when the wife was in charge of the house, when the son of the world asked the wife for money, the wife always took advantage of the increase in the family's expenses, and paid for it.The Shizi really thought that the family could not make ends meet, so he went to ask the old lady.

The old lady also found it strange, so she asked her to hand in the account book, and found a lot of deficiencies.Part of the shortfall was spent by the second master, third master and fourth girl, but a large part went into the wife's private treasury.

The old lady didn't care about these things, she only believed that the lady was too selfish and eccentric, so she was not suitable to be in charge of the family, so she handed over all the properties of the Duke's mansion to the outer court, and handed them over to the eldest son to be in charge.And all the expenses of the inner court are all paid by the outer court.

Although the money from the outer court to the inner court every month still has to go through the hands of the madam, except for the expenses of the master's servants, there is not much left.

However, the expenses of the second master, the third master, and the fourth lady are quite astonishing, and the wife also asked the son to increase the expenses.But the prince said in surprise: "My grand prince, the prince of the state, spends less than twenty taels a month. Even if there is a relationship, the expenditure in the government does not exceed five hundred taels. Why are the second and third brothers like this?" Can you spend it?"

With the precedent of the eldest son, the old lady is also dissatisfied with the second master, the third master and the fourth daughter, and strictly ordered the outer court not to add more than the share given by the public, so as not to raise a second generation ancestor who does not care about childbirth but only cares about spending money. Come.

Madam gritted her teeth with hatred, but she had no choice but to subsidize them in private.

In fact, Mother Zhao also felt that Madam doted on the Second Master, Third Master and Fourth Miss too much.She also reminded me tactfully, but Madam went her own way and said: "As a young lady of the Duke's Mansion, she is naturally precious in gold and jade, how can you detain them in terms of silver?"

Mother Zhao took care of Mrs. Chu's private treasury, and today she was withdrawn [-] taels for no reason. She couldn't bear it, so she had to come to Mrs. Chu.

Mrs. Chu looked at the box. It was made of rosewood wood, one foot square, and it was specially used to hold her banknotes, real estate, land deeds and so on.

Today, the land deeds and real estate are still there, but the bank notes are less than half.

Mrs. Chu's face turned blue, she grabbed out the bank notes, counted them, and her face turned pale: "Why are there only so few left?"

Mother Zhao sighed, and said, "Madam, from this year alone, Second Young Master has asked you for no less than one hundred thousand taels of silver. If this continues, even the gold and silver mines will not be enough for Second Young Master."

Madam Chu's complexion changed even more, and she stared coldly at Mother Zhao: "You old bastard, Shuo'er is my son, if I don't give him my money, who else can I give it to?"

……

Chu Rui is a tall man, full of strength, and eats a lot. Although he snatched eight or nine meat buns, the buns that can be swallowed in one bite are not enough to fill his stomach.

Before the end of the day, Chu Rui's stomach was growling with hunger, so he asked Zhou Qing to go to Gu Fuyun's yard to find something to eat.

Just now when he left Gu Fuyun's room angrily, he went around the kitchen again. In the wooden barrel on the table, there was a fragrant pork rib soup and boiled wax gourd slices.There are also half fat and half lean pork ribs and green peppers in the pot.He knew that tonight's meal should be pork ribs and winter melon soup, and stir-fried pork ribs with green peppers.

It's not time for dinner yet, but it's still very good to scoop a pot of pork ribs and winter melon soup with dinner.

Zhou Qing came back soon.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chu Rui couldn't wait to take out his silver chopsticks.

Zhou Qing's hand was empty.

Chu Rui's face stinks.

"Master, they are already eating."

Chu Rui stood up suddenly: "It's not yet Weishi, what are you doing eating so early?" Wouldn't it be better to eat dinner at the end of Youshi?
Zhou Qing said: "That's what I said too, but Master Hongya said that two meals a day are far from being nutritious enough for those recovering from injuries. It is recommended that everyone eat three meals a day."

There was no such thing as lunch in the Qi Dynasty, and only two meals a day were eaten, breakfast and dinner.

Chu Rui salivated again when he thought of the half-fat and thin pork ribs that were fried on the outside and tender on the inside.

He strode up and walked to another guest courtyard.

The guards were eating in full swing. This one said that the fried pork ribs was so delicious, with a slight sweetness and a strong aroma of sauce, it was even more delicious than the twice-cooked pork cooked by the cooks in the palace.

Some also said that this winter melon pork rib soup tastes very authentic, the bones are so soft that it melts in the mouth.The ribs are not as good as those on the meat stand, and they were stripped to bare bones by the butcher.There is also a layer of fat on it, fat and thin, it doesn't taste too good to eat.

Everyone ate and praised, and became jealous of Chu Rui.

Because this time the pot of meat and sliced ​​winter melon soup was made by the maid next to Miss Gu Wu.

So everyone automatically ignored Chu Rui's black face, "Commander, when will you marry Miss Gu Wu into the door? I can't wait to go to the Duke's Mansion to have a meal."

Chu Rui's face was only half black, as black as the bottom of a pot.

　In the past, when the material was not abundant, fatty meat was people's favorite. Because ribs had bones, it was not cost-effective, and few people ate them, so they were all picked extremely clean.Now, when the material conditions are abundant, the opposite happens.
