Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 31 Not wearing new clothes
On the carriage, Wu Niang held the box as if in a dream: "Brother, does this much money really belong to me?"

Song Yu rubbed her head: "Of course it's yours, you can spend it however you want."

Wuniang began to think: "I want to go to the capital to buy a shop and land. From now on, I will collect rent every year. I will have endless money..."

Xu Ziyin was very envious, but also felt unwilling. Why did she give Wu Niang so much?Jiang Wan Ning's dowry should all belong to Song Yu.

"You're so happy that you can't close your mouth. You'd better think about where to hide the money first, in case someone discovers it..."

"That's right, it seems like it's not safe to hide anywhere." Wu Niang was worried.

Xu Ziyin asked Song Yu again: "Are all the people in your house reliable?"

Song Yu was at a loss for words. He didn't know whether he was reliable or not. Everyone was arranged by his mother. There were no secrets that no one could know in the past. He didn't know that his mother was not wholeheartedly for him, so he never thought about whether the people around him were wholeheartedly devoted to him.

"Jiang Wanning will leave the Song family after the birthday party. Although she promised not to tell anyone about her marriage to you and the fifth sister, there has been a fuss about this matter before. My aunt is a shrewd person, so she must You will be suspicious." Xu Ziyin said slowly.

"Besides, you have to hide this money until you leave Jiangcheng to be considered safe. There are still four months left until you are full. If there is a cheating person next to you and you bring the matter to your aunt, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

Song Yu's brother and sister looked at each other. This matter was really troublesome. They couldn't guarantee that the people around them were reliable.

Song Yu thought for a moment and said, "A Yin, how about we put the money with you first?"

Xu Ziyin made a surprised expression: "Let me go there?"

The conversation immediately changed: "My place is safe. I only have Siqin and Siqi in my house. I personally selected them. They have served me for many years and they will marry me in the future. They are absolutely trustworthy."

"I'll leave it to you first. When Jiang Wanning leaves, I will ask my mother to come to propose marriage and marry you as soon as possible. Then you can bring the money back." Song Yu handed the box to Xu Ziyin.

Wu Niang hesitated, not because she was worried about Xu Ziyin, but because she wanted to hand over the money before it was warmed up, so she was reluctant to part with it.

"Wu Niang, if you don't feel comfortable leaving it with me, then you must keep it safe. If it is discovered, don't betray your brother." Xu Ziyin said with a smile.

Song Yu snatched the box from Wu Niang's hand and handed it to Xu Ziyin: "A Yin will be your eldest sister-in-law from now on, why don't you trust her?"

Wu Niang argued in frustration: "It's not that I don't believe it, I want to take another look at my money."

"It's just you who is obsessed with money." Song Yu laughed.

Xu Ziyin held the two boxes, secretly proud that from now on the money would be hers.

Jiang Wanning returned to Song Mansion, and the accountant Mr. Zhou was waiting for her.

"Madam, this is the rent paid by the tenants, plus the 300 taels squeezed out by the tea shop, a total of 600 taels."

Jiang Wan Ning said with a smile: "It just comes in handy. It will take another three to five days from the silk shop to send the money. I will make up for any shortfall by then."

Mr. Zhou responded respectfully: "Yes!"

The eldest lady was anxious for money, so she asked the tenants to pay their rent in advance, and the rent was reduced by [-]% for each acre of land.

He went to seek Madam's opinion on this matter, but she didn't see her. Madam's personal maid Hengli Cao sent a message, saying that just listen to the Madam.

Then he would listen to the lady and collect the rent.

Just as Mr. Zhou left, his third aunt Ying Yao came again.

"A Ning, the restaurant is about to start preparing dishes. Would you like to pay the deposit first?"

Jiang Wan Ning asked Yu Niang to watch the tea and said with a smile: "Third aunt, I just came back from the silk and satin shop. The shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop gave me a letter, saying that the money will be delivered to me in three days."

"You also know that since I took charge of the house, I have put in a lot of money. I have spent the 3000 taels of silver in my hand and the [-] taels sent from the silk and satin shop. Now I really have no money."

"But we have to prepare food, and we don't have to spend money to prepare food? Hongfu Tower is already losing money. We really can't afford the sixty banquets." Ying Yao was displeased.

"Third Aunt, do you think this is okay? You can find a way to pad it first. When the settlement comes, I will make up for you an extra 500 taels."

"Actually, it's only three days late. I'll give you the money after the banquet."

Ying Yao was a little excited. Just three days late, he could earn an extra 500 taels.

In fact, the restaurant did not suffer a loss. Not only did it not suffer a loss, it also had a surplus of 4000 to [-] taels. She told her sister before, just because she wanted to get some more money from her sister. She could afford to pay for sixty banquets.

"A Ning, you have your difficulties. My aunt understands, but you also have to understand my aunt. Now the restaurant's cook and waiter still owe their wages!"

"1000 taels." Jiang Wanning said.Ying Yao hesitated for a moment deliberately: "Forget it, we are a family! 1000 taels, just 1000 taels!"

Ying Yao never thought that Jiang Wan Ning would trick her. Jiang Wan Ning always gave her the impression of being gentle and well-behaved. She had so much dowry, and this little money was just a drop in the bucket for Jiang Wan Ning.

Jiang Wanning smiled and said: "Thank you, Third Aunt, for your understanding, but Third Aunt, please don't tell my mother-in-law about this, otherwise she will blame me for spending money randomly and not being able to run a household."

Ying Yao had benefited herself, so how could she tell her sister.

My sister is becoming more and more stingy now.

So Ying Yao gave up the idea of ​​visiting her sister and left directly.

The day before the birthday party, Song Heng returned to Song Mansion.

As soon as he entered, he shouted: "Mom, the baby is back."

Cui Wei came out and said happily: "Silang is finally back."

Song Heng handed the book box to Cui Wei.

Cui Wei knew that it was full of medicinal materials that Shiro had dried, so she smiled and said, "Silang has collected so many medicinal materials again, don't do it again."

"What will my mother eat if she doesn't pick her?"

"The eldest lady hired a doctor with great medical skills for my aunt, and also gave me money for medicine. Now my aunt's health is much better."

Song Heng was quite surprised: "Madam?"

"Yes, you don't know yet, but now the eldest lady is in charge of the house."

Uh...Song Heng was shocked.

The last time he came back from delivering medicine, he heard that his sister-in-law was seriously ill and the family was preparing to arrange funeral arrangements. After returning to the academy, he didn't wait for his family to come to announce the funeral, so he thought that his sister-in-law must have overcome the difficulty.

Unexpectedly, not only did he get better, but he could now be the head of his family.

My sister-in-law has been in bed for more than a year, but there is no improvement no matter how she treats her, is this okay?
"Heng'er..." The mother in the room called him.

Song Heng hurriedly entered the house.

Aunt Wei was sitting on the couch and was picking up the soles of her shoes. She raised her eyes and asked with a gentle smile, "Have you gone to see Madam and Brother?"

"I have seen."

He went to see his wife, but she did not see him.

He went to see Brother A, who was unexpectedly very affectionate to him.

"Mom, brother asked me to help him entertain the distinguished guests tomorrow."

Aunt Wei was not as happy as Song Heng expected. As if she didn't hear anything, she stopped what she was doing, went to the cabinet and took out a set of clothes: "Heng'er, change into something and try it on."

"Mom, you have bad eyesight. Don't do more needlework. The clothes are enough for the child." Song Heng touched the silky brocade, feeling sorry for the mother's hard work, and even more sorry for the money. This material looked very expensive at first glance, and her mother must be afraid of it. He will wear old clothes tomorrow and lose his dignity as a gentleman of the Song Dynasty.

"Change on quickly." Aunt Wei urged.

After a while, Song Heng changed into a robe, which was as soft and elegant as the light green of heaven, making him even more handsome and elegant.

"It looks good." Aunt Wei nodded with satisfaction.

"My mother's embroidery is good." Song Heng was wearing such precious materials for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little constrained and uncomfortable.

"Take it off and put it on again later."

Song Heng: "...in the future? Aren't you going to wear it tomorrow?"

Aunt Wei said calmly: "Just wear old clothes tomorrow."

Song Heng was confused. Tomorrow was his wife's birthday party. Her sister-in-law had specially sent new materials, but he ended up wearing old clothes to entertain the guests. Is it appropriate?

　Double updates will start next month. Thank you to everyone who voted for Azi and left a message.
