Chapter 1414 Famine and Natural Disaster 572
"No, don't sleep yet, let's talk about it after we finish." She stood up and pulled Cheng Yuanxi up, "My husband, tell me, Mingyi has been away for five years, why didn't any of us think of bringing some money to Mingyi? She is our biological daughter, and our family can get a lot of money every month. Because of this, our daughter is using the money of Prince Zhou when she is away, what will Princess Zhou think?"

Cheng Yuanxi was stunned, his sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Speak." He didn't say anything, and Chen Daya became anxious.

"Please be patient, I'll think about it." Cheng Yuanxi recalled the past. Indeed, no one in his family had thought of bringing some money to Mingyi. It was impossible! What were they thinking? Were they so confident in handing their daughter over to the prince of Zhou?
Chen Daya raised her hand and patted him twice, "Aren't we taking it for granted? The prince of Zhou never asked us to give him money, so we really didn't give it. Are we sure that the prince of Zhou will treat our daughter well and won't mistreat Mingyi?"

"Yes!" Cheng Yuanxi suddenly realized, "Why do we have such thoughts?"

The Prince of Zhou was indeed special to his daughter. This specialness was too special. They saw it and felt fearless.

Suddenly awake.

Both Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya felt extremely guilty and had ashamed looks on their faces.

Chen Daya continued, "There is another thing. We all believe that Yi Yi has the ability to make money. She has several properties under her name. The properties that Zhao Ma Ma helps manage also have a lot of income. We selectively forgot to give money to Yi Yi."

Promising offspring are indeed easily overlooked in some aspects.

Once you become successful and can earn money, your parents will no longer think about giving you money, even if the child is only a few years old.

With the help of Madam Zhao and Madam Rong, the eight-year-old Mingyi had the ability to open a shop and earned a huge fortune for their family. She was not short of money, so none of them thought of giving her money.

The more Chen Daya thought about it, the more guilty she felt.

Cheng Yuanxi was the same, but he was calmer and more rational. "Okay, don't think too much about it. The past is the past. Let's give a little more silver tomorrow. How much silver has been saved at home?"

"A little over 160,000."

Chen Daya reported the number, and Cheng Yuanxi said decisively: "Give 50,000 to Yiyi tomorrow and let her spend it; don't use the money from the prince of Zhou anymore, keep 10,000 for us in case of emergency, and put the remaining 100,000 taels aside as a dowry for Yiyi when she gets married."

"Okay!" A dowry of one hundred thousand is quite impressive.

For a clan noble to marry off their daughter, fifty thousand taels of silver was already a lot. Even though the aristocracy was prosperous, there were also many people, and with many children being married off, it was impossible for one person to spend one or two hundred thousand taels of silver at once. That was just an exaggeration.

With one or two hundred thousand taels each, can the family survive and develop?
"Yi Yi's dowry is almost ready. Now we're short of some precious wood. We'll slowly look for it. Unfortunately, our family's cultural heritage is shallow. We don't have any poems, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, or ancient books. Otherwise, they would have been given to Yi Yi as dowry." Cheng Yuanxi knew that it was recorded in the Book of Rites that there were specific standards for marriages for different classes; different classes had different etiquette and quantities, and his family really couldn't afford those old things as dowry.

"If you don't have it, then don't have it. Look for more land. Land in the northwest is in great demand."

As the couple discussed, they became more and more energetic and no longer felt sleepy. Before they knew it, they were chatting until the early morning, and when they came to their senses, it was almost dawn.

Mingyi had a good sleep. After getting up, he practiced martial arts, washed up, and asked Chunmei to send the barbecue to the kitchen to heat it up, and then brought it to the lobby to eat with everyone.

After breakfast, Chen Daya took Mingyi back to the yard and sent Chunmei away. Chen Daya took out a red lacquered box and gave it to her.

Mingyi looked at the box in surprise, her face full of confusion. Why give her a box?
Chen Daya said helplessly: "This is the money your parents gave you. Spend it. Don't spend the money of the Zhou prince before you get married."

"Mom, I have money."

"What you have is yours, take this, it's given to you by your parents."

Ming Yi was forced to give him a box of banknotes. He was worried, "Mother, how much did you give me? How much money do we have left at home?"

"I'll give you tens of thousands of taels. The money in our family is enough. The soap business will bring you a steady stream of income. Take this money. If you run out of money in the future, tell me. Sometimes I'm busy and forget things. I can't think of many things. If you need money, just ask me for it!"

Chen Daya felt quite ashamed that she cared too little about her daughter.

Mingyi didn't understand why they suddenly gave her money. Could it be that her words yesterday touched her parents' hearts? She was telling the truth!

All of her belongings were given away by Zhou Ting's people, or left for her by her housekeeper every month; all the money added up would cost tens of thousands of taels, including the expensive jewelry.

Apart from the bulk of the money she spent on charity and business, she only saved that little bit of money, and that was before she put much thought into her clothes, otherwise she wouldn't have even this little bit of money.

"Mom, you gave it to me, where's my brother?"

"Your brother knew to tell mother when he ran out of money. You were not around me often, so I didn't know when I had no money to spend. If you hadn't suddenly brought it up this time, I might have ignored it. It's mother and father's fault for neglecting you." Chen Daya held her daughter's hand, feeling indebted after all.

Mingyi nodded thoughtfully, "I see, thank you, mother."

"You're saying thank you to your mother, which shows that you've become estranged from her outside." Chen Daya glared at her little daughter and forced a smile.

Mingyi smiled flatteringly, "What are you talking about, mother? When have I ever been estranged from you? Mother, you gave me so much money, it is only right for me to thank you, and it is my due. You and father were at home, and I was not able to be filial to you and father, and I made you worry. It is my fault."

"You are the pride of your parents. You should help the prince do things outside." Chen Daya was still worried that her daughter was powerless, so the right thing to do was to firmly grasp the heart of Prince Zhou.

Fortunately, Grand Master Fan is also Mingyi’s teacher and will protect her.

"By the way, has your teacher delivered the New Year's gift this year?" Thinking of Grand Tutor Fan, Chen Daya finally remembered this person from her dizziness.

The presence is not strong enough, and they have never met each other.

"The New Year gifts are prepared by Chao Sheng, so I don't have to worry about it."

"You kid, your teacher is so good to you, and you don't even know how to respect him." He is still young and doesn't know the importance of building personal relationships.

Mingyi didn't think it was a big deal. "The teacher knows my family's situation, he won't care. Chaosheng will definitely prepare my share of the New Year gift. The teacher also knows the trick and never mentioned his daughter."

"He is a man of high moral character, how could he say anything bad about you? But you are a disciple, and you cannot let him make the decision about filial piety." Chen Daya's mind kept turning, and she asked her, "Has the prince of Zhou sent the annual gift to your teacher?"
