Chapter Thirty-Three

"I can't bear to give up the money." Xiaowei showed a look of disdain.

Liuli thought about it for a moment and understood.

The aunt seems to have no desires and needs, and is not virtuous like normal humans, especially unlike the female humans in the back house. In fact, it is because she is not fighting for the man, but wants to hold on to the property in her hands. As for keeping it for herself

Whether it will be used for personal use or for the four children left by the former Mrs. Xuan is unknown.

People who have simple and clear requirements often have limits that cannot be touched. Auntie Hanqiao lives in such a twisted environment, working hard at housekeeping, being taciturn, and guarding her nest like an old hen. Whenever someone stretches out his paw,

Of course she would refuse forcefully.

The ships docked in Dongjin are all equipped with imported items. If you want to choose a decent one among them, it will definitely cost a lot of money. In order to match Wen Ningzhi's noble character as a scholar and his good image as an official,

The Marquis of Ning'an's Mansion has always been thrifty, unlike other nobles and wealthy families who spend money like water. In other words, the people in the Marquis of Wen's Mansion do not have much money.

Wen Hongxuan could go around to have banquets and play, and because of his reputation as the most talented person in the Zhao Dynasty, people were always vying to invite him. He nodded and went, and people felt particularly honored. At the same time, his paintings were even more expensive. He

Even though I don’t sell paintings and I don’t paint often, the gifts I received in return were very generous.

Wen Zhiyun dresses elegantly, not because she doesn't like expensive jewelry, but because she wants to save all valuable things for dowry. But outsiders praise her: She is worthy of being a young lady from a scholarly family. She is as light as a chrysanthemum and a model of beauty.

What about Wen Yiyun? A typical "Moonlight Clan" who immediately "lets go" after receiving the money every month.

Wen Yingxuan's eyes light up when he sees good things, like a pig that has been hungry for several days falling into a garbage dump. It is not unreasonable for Jia Huan to be so wretched. Although, he has been beaten by his father many times for this.

punishment.

In this world, there are many scholars with integrity who don't care about living a simple life, but they are definitely not from the Ning'an Marquis family. In Liuli's view, the Wen family just wants to save face and suffer the consequences.

When her sister got married, she brought a large dowry, which was the Huo family's income from running the northwest land for many years. Her sister only took half of it and left the remaining half to her. She was very aware of the huge amount, but since Wen Ningzhi

To maintain the image of the "seed of infatuation" that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, his sister has only passed away for three years, so he can only drool over his wealth, temporarily unable to move his hands or feet.

Therefore, the Marquis of Ning'an lived on Wen Ningzhi's salary, which looked glamorous on the outside but was very tight in reality. The real masters didn't have much money, let alone Leng Yu, who was the aunt? She wanted to compete for favors and give Wen Ning

It was a surprise for my birthday, and I had a high eye for rare things from overseas. But what should I do if I had no money?

So whether she wanted to borrow money, pay the monthly payment in advance, or even sell things, she had to go through her aunt Hanqiao. But there were no rules in the house, and Hanqiao couldn't have broken the rules for Leng Yu, plus it was about Hanqiao's lifeblood.

When it comes to money, disputes are inevitable.

Speaking of which, it is not a big deal to act arrogantly. The most fearful thing is that there is no backing and no sense of proportion. Does Leng Yu think that being arrogant and domineering does not require qualifications?

What Leng Yu had was Wen Ningzhi's love that could disappear at any time, and the secrets they kept from each other. And the entire Hou Mansion could only buy three things, and the legitimate sons and daughters didn't even have enough.

How could she, a foster daughter, and her aunt dare to ask for a share of it? She knew that others could not afford it and was reluctant to part with it. However, Leng Yu's move to ask for the money would be regarded by Hanqiao as a violation of her stewardship rights.

of infringement.

Money and sex are always the fundamental interests that some people compete for, and they don't hesitate to fight to the death for it. Leng Yu thinks she is smarter than Leng Xiang, but in fact she is just more vicious and greedy. You have to use some small tricks to deal with Leng Xiang.

Apply strong psychological pressure to make it collapse and deal with Leng Yu...she will dig in and resist. When the time comes, she will jump in with just a gentle push.

Thinking of this, Liuli smiled.

"Qingdai." She picked up the herbal tea calmly, "Give me some of the large-denomination banknotes we brought." Everyone knows that the Prince of Linshan County is the richest man in Zhao. But no one knows that she is an invisible rich woman.

.Although not as good as that wolf, her pockets are also very rich. Not to mention that Shui Shiqiao is her strong support, even the dowry money left by her sister is enough for her to squander at will.

Anyway, she never thought about getting married.

If you want to go to the port of Dongjin to buy things, it is not enough to have money, you must also have status, because the emperor's specific decree is: families with a fourth-rank official position or above in the court and a title can go first. Otherwise, the world will have money and love to spend money.

There are so many people with money, and those few ships of goods were divided up before they could reach the world. Furthermore, the customs clearance documents from the government have not yet been issued, and the heavy taxes from the merchants have not yet been paid.

"Brother, when are you going to Dongjin Port?" Liuli "met" Wen Hongxuan in the garden that day and couldn't help but ask with interest.

After the drowning incident, Wen Hongxuan's attitude towards her changed drastically and he was almost indifferent, but she was still "normal" and seemed completely unaware. Xiao Wen's status as a "talented scholar" was really convenient, and he was wild and wanton.

It should be, but if she becomes hot and cold, there will be something wrong.

According to the information obtained by the two spies around her, although the Wen brothers and sisters did not want to buy anything (actually they had no money), they still planned to go to the ship to have a look. One was out of curiosity and wanted to broaden their horizons. The other was not

If she goes, wouldn't she be dissatisfied with the emperor's decree to lift the sea ban? And the third aunt in Cuiyuan originally planned to ask the talkative eldest lady to help her carry things from the ship, but now she has no money, so she has no choice but to give up.

This shows that Leng Yu still has a pitiful sanity left, because no matter when or where, the concubine can never represent the Hou family, especially on such a privileged occasion. Even though the people of Zhao are open, the aristocracy is very hierarchical.

You can have an affair, you can change your moral character, you can do random things, but you can't mess with the rules.

There's a name for this, it's called decency. The so-called decency cannot be lost.

"Sister, want to go?" Wen Hongxuan smiled, still elegant and polite. However, if you are as sensitive as Liuli, you will find that the sunshine on his body is full of indifference. In his eyes, others are inferior creatures with low IQs.

.

"Don't you want to, brother?" Liuli asked, and then added, "I heard that each family can choose three things. If you don't like it, can I take your share?" She deliberately acted like a nouveau riche.

She is tacky and deliberately shows that she is proud of her financial advantage. If Wen Hongxuan looks down on her from now on, it would be best to take a detour when he sees her, lest her smell of copper gets to him. If he is jealous of this... at least Wen Yiyun and Wen Yingxuan

Yes, then you might as well get pissed off.

Wen Hongxuan's eyes flashed, "I don't want to buy anything, I have the breeze on my sleeves, and there is no one to please. As for the eldest sister and the third sister, you have to ask them yourself." This was an insinuation that Liuli wanted to use expensive things to coax Jin.

Wang Xiao was really happy, but seeing that Liuli didn't seem to have any reaction, he took out a sticker from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Liuli and said, "Sister Qianer was greedy for cold at night and ate too many cold things. Now she doesn't feel well."

, we, the Marquis, are afraid that it will take a few days before we go to the port of Dongjin to have a look, so we have to wait for her to come with us. But the second sister can go first..."

Liuli took the post and saw that the sign on it was clearly marked on Prince Jin's Mansion, and there was no sign that it had been opened.

"I just came back from outside. I saw His Royal Highness the King's personal bodyguard personally delivering the invitation, so he volunteered to help the second sister bring it in. I guess it may be to invite you to see the sea ships. The Emperor just issued an edict yesterday, Tokyo

Although the nobles in the capital have received the news early, they are itchy but dare not move. They still have to worry about their status. Tomorrow will probably be the first time to get someone to go, so good things must be taken early."

What he means is: Even if Xiao Jiu has actually withdrawn from the fight for the throne, he is still a prince and still belongs to the privileged class among privileges. Only when all the kings and princes have been there can other powerful people take action. As for "good things"

Is it a pun? Liuli just pretended not to hear it and didn't bother thinking about it.

After thanking Wen Hongxuan, she returned to her own place and opened the post to read it. Wen Hongxuan really guessed it. Xiao Jiu asked her to go to Dongjin Mansion tomorrow morning and agreed on a time. Now the person who sent the post

The guards were still waiting outside to hear the response.

She immediately wrote a brief letter and asked Wei Wei to deliver it, and then ordered the maids to pack their things. This was the most troublesome part of being a woman in ancient times. Just going out, having to pack big and small bags was particularly cumbersome. For wealthy people,

, and a maid must follow.

Liuli clicked on Yiqiu and Weiwei.

She had to keep someone at home, so Qingdai had to feel aggrieved because she was the safest. As for Qing Ning, she had to follow suit. After all, Qing Ning's duty included protecting her, although she didn't really need it.

After packing everything, she set off at around 5 a.m. the next morning. For this reason, she got up an hour early because she was going with her fiancé, so it was inevitable that she would have to make arrangements. Fortunately, it was summer, and it was

It was a rare clear day, and it was already bright when we went out.

Xiao Zhen's carriage is made according to the prince's level. It has a wide body and four strong horses in the front. The driver is the guard who sent the post yesterday. In the back, the wheels are higher than those of ordinary nobles' carriages. The roof does not look like

Like the summer carriages of the ladies, there is only an umbrella stand on top, with gauze of various colors hanging on the sides. Instead, the roof and walls are made of thin bamboo woven strands, and green gauze is used as curtains. It is not only cool, but also has the faint fragrance of bamboo.

On the shaft of the carriage, there is the emblem of the Jin Palace.

Xiao Zhen was not sitting in the carriage, but riding a tall horse, wearing casual clothes and a calm expression. However, his carriage was so ostentatious, even if you didn't recognize the logo, you could tell his identity from the standard. Not to mention what was behind him

, and a team of more than twenty royal guards.

Xiao Zhen, on the other hand, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after seeing Liuli, surprised and curious, "Why are you dressed like this?"
