Two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels.
Aunt Mei was shocked.
She had just looked at the flatness of the purse and thought Xie Wu had just randomly stuffed some small pieces of silver into it, but she didn't expect that when she got rid of it, it turned out to be a full two hundred taels of silver notes.
"Sister, you are so generous!" Looking at the two banknotes in her hand, Xie Xian couldn't help but said sourly.
She is also a girl from the Hou Mansion. Even if she buys a hairpin or a piece of clothing, she has to think carefully. Even if she takes out all the silver in her box, it will only be forty or fifty taels of silver, but Xie Wu only spends two hundred.
two.
Two hundred taels, she didn't know how many years it would take to save this amount.
Hearing the sour and vinegary taste in Xie Xian's words, Aunt Mei couldn't help but patted her hand. She smiled and said to Xie Xian, "Now you know why Auntie wants you to have a good relationship with your eldest sister! As long as
If you catch your grandmother's eye in the future, even if you can't control the wealth of the family, as long as your grandmother gives you one or two things to take care of, the money will naturally fall into your hands."
She originally thought that Xie Wu, a little girl, would not be able to make much money even if she was in charge of her husband. After all, these days, no matter whether it was clothes or food, nothing would be bad if it came through her hands. It was much better than when Yang was in charge.
Not only did she get better, she even laughed at Sang Yu at that time, saying that she seemed to be shrewd, and she didn't know how to make a profit from so much money. But she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, she took out two hundred
Two silver notes were thrown at her.
It turns out that it's not that Xie Wu is not smart, but that she is too stupid. How could she be so stupid as to think that Xie Wu would give away all the money she has spent?
She now even suspected that Xie Wu took these two banknotes to slap her in the face!
"Auntie, you are right! I will learn from my elder sister." Xie Xian pinched the banknote in her hand and nodded vigorously towards Aunt Mei.
Looking at the wrinkled banknotes pinched by Xie Xian, Aunt Mei felt distressed. She hurriedly reached out and took the two banknotes from Xie Xian's hand. After checking them carefully, she carefully handed them to Sang Yu.
He said, "Put this banknote away quickly, be sure to be careful not to drop it."
"Yes, Auntie." Sang Yu responded hastily, she blessed Auntie Mei, and then went down carefully holding the banknote.
It's no wonder that my aunt is so solemn. After all, it's hard for her to save any money from her background. Her monthly money is already insufficient to cover her own expenses. This gift from the eldest girl is simply sent to her heart.
"Auntie, look at you like that. It's only two hundred taels of silver. Are you so careful?" Xie Xian felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw her aunt acting like a petty person just because of two hundred taels of silver.
"Who do you think I am so frugal for? It's not for you. Seeing that you are about to get haircut, if I don't prepare more for you, what will you do in the future?" Aunt Mei looked at Xie Xian and sighed.
Said in one breath.
The Yang family has always disliked seeing her. Not to mention that she is imprisoned in Xiyuan now. Even if she didn't, she would not prepare any dowry for Sister Xian. She can only let Sister Xian see her share.
It doesn't sound shabby, but she is a daughter like Sister Xian, so there is no way she can hold her head high when she marries into her husband's family because of the dowry.
This is why she took the risk of getting pregnant.
She has to let Sister Xian have someone to rely on in the future!
Thinking of this, Aunt Mei couldn't help but look down at her belly and sighed again, "I really hope you are a boy, so that your sister and I can have someone to rely on in the future!"
"Auntie, don't worry, you must have a little brother in your belly!" Xie Xian also noticed Aunt Mei's good intentions. She also hurriedly came over, gently put her hand on Aunt Mei's belly, and said to her softly.
.
"Yes! Aunt Mei knows." Looking at Xie Xian's well-behaved appearance, Aunt Mei suddenly felt as sweet as honey.
And here, Xie Wu came out of Aunt Mei's small courtyard, turned around and saw Aunt Jiang admiring flowers in the garden at the corner of the corridor.
The weather was still a bit hot at this time, so she was wearing a bud-yellow silk blouse with cloud fairy pattern. Her black hair was also pulled up, and a white jade tassel hairpin was inserted diagonally on the right side. The long tassels hung down to her
Her shoulders made her face as white as jade.
"Big girl." Seeing Xie Wu, Aunt Jiang's eyes flashed with surprise. Then, she walked quickly to Xie Wu, blessed her with a happy face, and then said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet a big girl here.
Girl, I really have a fate with you!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, my aunt is looking better and better." Xie Wu looked at Jiang Yingxue and said with a kind smile.
After hearing what Xie Wu said, Jiang Yingxue covered her lips and smiled softly, "This is also thanks to you, Miss."
If it weren't for Xie Wu, she might have gone the way of Xie Zheng. She had inquired about it, but so far, her eldest cousin had not entered Jade's room.
But then again, how can Jade compare with her? In terms of birth and appearance, she is more than a hundred times stronger than her. If it were her, Xie Zheng might not be able to escape her beauty barrier.
"How could it be? It's my aunt who has a unique eye." Xie Wu answered with a sweet smile.
Jiang Yingxue smiled, and she looked sideways behind Xie Wu, and then said, "The eldest lady is coming out of Sister Mei's courtyard, right? Is Sister Mei feeling better?"
Xie Wu curled her lips and saw that Jiang Yingxue didn't answer her words.
Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "I saw that Sister Mei was very upset this morning, so I asked someone to make a bowl of sour plum soup for her. But I didn't expect that she would vomit as soon as she smelled the smell." At this point.
, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but curved her lips and chuckled again, "It is said that people who feel happy will feel better when they smell the sour smell, but Sister Mei did it the other way around. I guess she was afraid that I would be in the sour plum soup.
Put something in there!"
After hearing what Jiang Yingxue said, Xie Wu smiled lightly at her but still didn't answer.
Jiang Yingxue didn't care either. She raised her eyebrows and curved her lips as she continued, "But yes, I finally have a golden knot in my stomach. I have to be careful even if I'm not there! It's human nature, so I can
I understand Sister Mei.”
"It's good if Auntie can think so." Xie Wu added with a slight smile.
"Girl, please stop teasing me." After hearing Xie Wu's words, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her lips and chuckle. Finally, she continued, "However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for me.
"From now on, it's better not to send anything for food or use to Sister Mei's house. Otherwise, if...by the way, the eldest lady just went to see Sister Mei, did you give her anything?" Jiang Yingxue looked like
As if she suddenly remembered something, she frowned and looked at Xie Wu with some worry.
Seeing the sincere concern in Jiang Yingxue's eyes, Xie Wu curved her lips and smiled softly, "Auntie, are you too worried?"
"Girl, I'm not overly concerned, I'm being cautious! As the saying goes, caution makes the boat last forever. It's not easy for Sister Mei to have this baby. Both she and we should be very cautious." See Xie Wu.
Not taking it seriously, Jiang Yingxue quickly collected her expression and looked at Xie Wu seriously.
"Auntie, you are worrying too much. I just took some money for Aunt Mei." Xie Wu looked at Jiang Yingxue with a smile and said.
After hearing Xie Wu's words, the smile on Jiang Yingxue's face felt awkward for a moment, but she quickly covered it up. She smiled and said to Xie Wu, "The big girl is thoughtful, then I will go see Mei tomorrow."
My sister also gave her a red envelope, so that I could get some happiness from her."
Xie Wu smiled and asked, "Auntie, is there anything else?"
"Did I disturb the eldest lady?" Seeing that Xie Wu was about to leave without saying a few words, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in her eyes.
"That's not the case..." Xie Wu looked at Jiang Yingxue, her slender eyebrows slightly raised slightly, "Looking at my aunt like this, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Miss, can we take a moment to talk?" Jiang Yingxue frowned and looked at Xie Wu pleadingly.
Xie Wu raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Jiang Yingxue, and finally took a few steps to the side.
Looking at Xie Wu's back, Jiang Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly raised her feet and followed her. After confirming that no one was around, she stiffly pursed her lips and said, "Girl, actually, I have something to ask you."
?”
After hearing what Jiang Yingxue said, Xie Wu couldn't help but smile and said, "Auntie, are you kidding me? What can you ask me for? I'm just a girl who has not left the court. Shouldn't you ask your grandmother for anything?
?”
"No, no, only you, eldest lady, can help me with this matter."
Seeing Jiang Yingxue's anxious face, Xie Wu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. However, she was on guard against Jiang Yingxue, so she didn't answer her words.
Seeing that Xie Wu didn't answer, Jiang Yingxue became a little anxious, "Miss, I received a letter from my mother two days ago. She said, she said... that person already knew that I married into the Hou Mansion..." At this point
, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment on her face.
She felt a little uncomfortable asking her to tell these things to a young girl who had just grown hair. However, she had no choice but to come to Xie Wu for this matter.
She had no connections and no power in the capital. She obviously couldn't handle these things on her own, so she had no choice but to come to Xie Wu. After all, Xie Wu had found out her details long ago. Now, she was the only one who could
Helped her.
In fact, she wanted to come see Xie Wu from the moment she received her mother's letter, but Xie Wu was too busy, so she came twice but failed. She couldn't go too frequently to avoid attracting attention, so,
After learning that Xie Wu was coming to Tinglan Courtyard, she rushed over immediately.
But what Jiang Yingxue never expected was that Xie Wu only smiled lightly after hearing her words, and she said, "Auntie, why are you telling me this?"
Seeing Xie Wu's nonchalant look, Jiang Yingxue's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Girl, how can you say that? Have you forgotten what you said to me at that time?"
