Chapter 2723 An Family Silver
Maybe Mrs. Tong was a spendthrift when she was in Jinchi City before, and she was easy to compare among the ladies.But at that time, she didn't waste money, she had her own concubines to spend money, she didn't feel angry, and she didn't want to save money for Master Tong, and at that time, Master Tong's salary didn't have to be used to help others, even the flowers were enough.

But since she came to the northwest, whether she regrets what she did before or sincerely shared her worries, Mrs. Tong has done a good job.

Master Tong thought for a while and said, "I bought this piece of jade paperweight in Jinchi City for 1000 taels, you can sell it. The four aunts in the house will each give 50 taels, and then go to my wife to ask for it." Give them back their deeds of sale, ask them where they want to go, and send someone to send them there. The rest of the silver will be handed over to Madam, and let her spend it on the family."

The housekeeper's face showed joy when he heard the words. He was related to Mrs. Tong's family, and to be able to take the position of housekeeper, besides being fine and eloquent, he was also inseparable from Mrs. Tong's help. Naturally, his heart was toward Mrs. Tong, Although these four aunts are not as good as they used to be in the past few years, and the expenses for each of them are not much, but each month is still 20 taels of silver.

The most important thing is that Madam Tong is not happy with their existence. If they are allowed to leave the mansion, won't Madam be the only one in the mansion in the future?
The butler happily picked up the paperweight, "Master, Changxia is no match for the Golden Pond. I'm afraid you won't be able to sell that much money for this paperweight. Look..."

Master Tong waved his hand, "You can decide how much you want to sell, as long as it's enough money for their Anjia."

The butler just left the study, holding the paperweight and going to find a pawn shop on the street to pawn it.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the mansion, he saw Mr. Xue coming in from the outside. It was covered with sand and mud. If he didn't recognize it, he would have thought it was a farmer from some family who had come to the mansion.

The butler was busy presenting the gift to Mrs. Xue, but Mrs. Xue saw the box in his hand and immediately recognized that it was the one Mr. Tong used to hold the paperweight. At the beginning, he also liked this paperweight for a long time, but he was not willing to give up 1000 taels of silver. In the end, it was bought by Mr. Tong, which made him regret for a long time. Later, he asked Mr. Tong to buy it back for 100 taels. Mr. Tong refused to sell it, and Mr. Xue had no choice. After all, he thought he was a gentleman, so he couldn't come Take what you love.

Seeing this box now, I was pleasantly surprised and said, "Isn't this the box that holds the paperweight on Master Tong's desk?"

The housekeeper nodded in agreement, and Taifu Xue gave him a sideways look, "Housekeeper, I saw that you were reliable in your work before, but you didn't want to be a wicked slave. Are you stealing something from your master to sell?"

The housekeeper hurriedly yelled for injustice, "Master Fu Mingjian, the villain would not dare to do such a deceitful thing. It was my lord who used all his salary to help the people, and the family couldn't make ends meet, so he let the villain use the paperweight as a pawn." .”

Hearing the words, Mrs. Xue admired Mr. Tong even more, and twirling his beard, he said, "In a place like Changxia, there are not many people who can realize the benefits of this paperweight. If you take it as a 200 taels, it will be more. If you think about being more, people will say that you are using your power to oppress others."

The housekeeper understood, and sighed helplessly: "Then what can we do?"

Mrs. Xue pondered and said: "I also fell in love with this paperweight at the beginning, but your lord took the lead. Why don't you sell the paperweight to me? It's just that I came out in a hurry and didn't bring much money. I'll give it to you." How about 800 taels?"

The housekeeper was overjoyed when he heard the words, "The villain accepts Taifu's kindness, and Taifu has helped a lot."
