The princess was sitting on the Arhat couch drinking tea, and the third wife was sitting under the princess. When Su Tang went in, she was looking at the newly painted Dankou on her nails. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and saw Su Tang and smiled.
, "The eldest mistress asked the third aunt and your mother and concubine to wait."
No one asked you to wait for me, so Su Tang cursed in his heart, but explained, "My husband asked me to give him a pat on the back, but he refused to let me go."
The third wife chuckled, and the princess said, "Why is Ting'er so disobedient? Don't spoil him."
Su Tang's ears were slightly red, and she stepped forward to salute the princess, "I wonder if mother and concubine asked me to come?"
The princess put down the delicate tea cup in her hand and said, "Sit down first and let your third aunt talk to you."
Su Tang sat down opposite the third wife. The third wife smiled and said, "Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Mrs. Changchun Hou wanted to open a silk business jointly. When we were discussing, I happened to be there and wanted to buy a share. They gave me twelve thousand.
The share of two, but I am short of money recently, so I asked the prince if he could enter the house. The old lady feels sorry for you, let me think about you, the new young lady, if not, I will come to see your mother and concubine.
.”
Su Tang instantly understood that this was not a shop, it was just an excuse to buy shares and see the banknotes in her hand.
Su Tang looked at the princess, who said, "Mrs. Changchun Hou is not bad. If you want to buy a share, you shouldn't lose money."
Before Su Tang answered, the third wife said, "Not only will there be no loss, but the capital will be repaid within two years, otherwise I wouldn't be brave enough to open this business."
Su Tang looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
The third wife saw her and said, "We are all our own people. If you have anything to say, please just say it."
"...I want to invest in shares, but I have no money," Su Tang's ears were slightly red and her voice was low and inaudible.
The third wife and the princess were both confused by these words.
Especially the third wife, said, "How can it be possible that there is no money? Didn't Prince Xin's Mansion give you all the dowry given to Miss Yun Er? I remember that the gift note clearly stated 20,000 taels of silver notes."
This is on the surface, but I don’t know how much money I have in the box privately, so how can I have no money?
Su Tangru sat on pins and needles and said awkwardly, "I also saw twenty thousand taels on the gift list, but I don't know which big box Xin Wangfu put it in for me. I remembered to ask before I came back today, but as soon as I came back,
I forgot about it. I remembered it when I was almost at the palace. It was hard to go back and there weren’t many places to spend money, so I planned to ask again next time..."
Su Tang had an expression on her face that said, "I'm not very smart." Looking at the third wife's face, she looked like she had been constipated for seven days.
Twenty thousand taels!
That's 20,000 taels. I don't even know where I put the money. I can forget it when I go back and ask. Why didn't she forget her own name as well?
The princess didn't know whether to laugh or cry. One look at her revealed that she had been raised pampered and didn't value money that much.
The third wife held her forehead, not suspecting that Su Tang was lying. After all, Su Tang hanged himself on the day of his wedding. When he woke up, he was stuffed into the sedan chair. It was normal for him to not know where to put the dowry money.
But don’t you know if you won’t ask?
The thing on the neck is the head, not the lump of wood.
A flash of disgust for Su Tang's stupidity flashed in the third wife's eyes, and she said, "There's no need to go back and ask. The maids in Prince Xin's palace are all in Jingmoxuan. You don't know, there are always maids who know, wouldn't it be enough just to ask?"
"
Su Tang looked stunned and hurriedly said to Banxia, "Go back and ask."
Banxia said, "How much will you bring?"
Su Tang looked at the third wife, who said, "Just five thousand taels."
Banxia turned around and left.
It took a while to get the banknote, and people were chatting in the room. Most of the time, Su Tang was listening to the third wife and the princess talking. The princess had a gentle face, and the third wife was eloquent and eloquent.
After almost a cup of tea, Banxia ran in and handed the banknote to Su Tang. This chapter has been completed!
