Chapter 337 Talking about money hurts feelings

Pei Xiaoran's heart warmed when he heard it, and he waved his hands quickly and said:
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, you remember to ask someone to tell the second uncle so that he doesn't have to go to so many places to sell, as long as it can be sold, it's fine, and you don't have to rush to give it away until the rest are sold out It will not be too late to deliver the bank notes."

After a pause, he said in disbelief:
"I didn't expect to be able to sell so much silver..."

It's really... It's beyond her expectation!
Wu Ziying picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said indifferently:

"Of course it can be sold for so much silver. After all, it is a gift from the imperial court. Can there be anything bad about the things in the palace? And some things are worthless here, but they are hard to find in some places. Two Uncle knows this best, so he can sell it at a good price."

Pei Xiaoran nodded with a smile, and said:
"Second Uncle Lao is here."

Wu Ziying raised his eyebrows and squinted at her.

Pei Xiaoran hurriedly arched his little hands and said:
"There is also Cousin Lao~"

Only then did Wu Ziying give a satisfied 'hmm', picked up a crispy date and threw it into his mouth, chewing while saying:

"Count it up, these are 10 taels in total."

Pei Xiaoran shook his head, and said:
"Don't count, I trust my cousin."

Then he grabbed half of it, pushed it back to Wu Ziying, and said sincerely:

"Thank you cousin and second uncle for helping me with this great favor. This is a reward for cousin, please accept it. As for second uncle... I will give it to him when second uncle comes back."

Wu Ziying almost spit out a mouthful of crispy jujube, this prodigal little cousin!If I give her [-], she will give me [-], even if I have the capital, I can't use so much!What's more, he was only responsible for running errands to pass on a word.

Wu Ziying hastily raised his hand to cover his mouth so as not to let himself spit out. After swallowing the crispy dates, he slapped the table, pretending to be angry and said:

"What do you think of me as your cousin? We are all a family. Are you looking down on me or don't you treat me as a family? Also, don't you usually spend money like this? Cousin, Every penny is hard to come by, we can't be so prodigal!"

Pei Xiaoran was speechless, and said:
"Cousin, you really think too much. It is because we are a family that I give you more. If I treat anyone badly, I can't treat my own family badly, right? Besides, if it weren't for the help of you and my second uncle, I would I can't sell all those things so smoothly, can I? If I can't sell them, wouldn't the people on my grandmother's side take them? Not only will I not be able to get any money, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get those things back , So, you and Uncle Er have done me a big favor, you deserve all the money, so just accept it!"

Before the palace banquet, even Wu's natal family didn't know about the fact that the Pei family suppressed the prostitute.

Firstly, Pei Xingshan hid it well and never showed the slightest bit of indifference towards his wife outside, and secondly, Mrs. Wu was soft-tempered. In order not to let her natal family worry about her, she always reported good news but not bad ones when she returned to her natal family.

But even if the Wu family knew about it, in fact, there was nothing they could do.

The Wu family is just a merchant, no matter how rich they are, they are at the bottom of the ranks, but Pei Xingshan is the Duke of the State who holds the real power. What are they going to do to fight against Pei Xingshan and the people in the Duke's Mansion?

Therefore, no matter how angry and furious I am after learning about this incident, I can only smash my teeth and swallow blood into my stomach.

And even if you try to make a fuss in a hurry, so what?In case Pei Xingshan was angered, wouldn't it be their daughter who suffered?
Therefore, the entire Wu family can only act as if they have heard nothing and know nothing, and all they can do is to subsidize the Wu family and a few children in secret, so that they at least don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Sigh... The daughter that I had grown up in the palm of my hand with so much love and affection, became someone who could be bullied at will.

When Pei Xingshan first married the Wu family, he swore in front of the elders of the Wu family that he would never treat Wu and their children badly in the future, so the Wu family agreed to help Pei Xingshan tide over the difficulties.

Looking at it now, this famous Grand Duke is not only an ungrateful villain, but also a hypocrite who talks shit| fart.

Wu Ziying naturally knew about this, and even more knowing why Pei Xiaoran asked him to smuggle away the reward from the Holy Majesty, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth secretly, stood up suddenly, and firmly pushed back the banknote placed in front of her , said with a serious face:
"I will never accept this money, and the second uncle will definitely not accept it. You should give up your heart! We are a family, and we should help each other. If you need help in the future, just ask, It’s just not allowed to do this anymore! It’s getting late, you should go to bed earlier, I should go back too.”

After finishing speaking, before Pei Xiaoran could react, Wu Ziying had already flicked his sleeves, strode open the door and walked out.

"Hey, cousin!"

Pei Xiaoran hurriedly jumped off the stool, but when he chased out of the yard, he found that the person had disappeared.

Mother Pan hurried forward and asked:
"Miss, what happened?"

Pei Xiaoran shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I probably misunderstood what I meant, so let him run away in anger."

Mother Pan laughed and said:
"Then next time you meet someone, miss, remember to explain to him well."

Pei Xiaoran nodded, and stood there for a while before turning back to the room.

On the second day, taking advantage of the break in martial arts practice and Xiaorou going to relieve himself, Pei Xiaoran didn't even have time to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, so he called Zhang Zeqing aside, and began to ask Zhang Zeqing's family where they lived and how many people they had People, how many brothers, how many sisters, etc.

As a servant, Zhang Zeqing is undoubtedly extremely qualified. He can do whatever his master asks him to do, and he will never steal or play tricks, let alone leave his post without authorization.

Even, fearing that he would go home every month to delay his work, he even saved his monthly money together, and only asked Pei Yuxuan to go home after a few months to send money to his family.

Now his family's life is better than before, but because of the large number of people in the family, the younger brothers and sisters are getting bigger and bigger, and their appetites are gradually increasing. Although they will not starve to death anymore, they are still starving A day full of meals.

But Zhang Zeqing was already very satisfied, he knew that as long as he opened his mouth, both Pei Xiaoran and Pei Yuxuan would help him, but he would never open his mouth.

First of all, he was afraid that he would not be able to repay this kindness. He already owed Pei Xiaoran a great favor to be able to live like this. I don't like to owe people anything.

Secondly, he is also afraid that his family members will become lazy due to the easy life of getting something for nothing. In the end, they will not think about making progress and become a group of rice bugs, which will fail the good intentions of others.
