Chapter 227: Exercise of Patriarchal Rights

After realizing his feelings, Yuan Suijun was naturally not one to sit still. He reviewed the relationship between the two and found that Su Yueling probably positioned him as a relative and friend from the beginning, rather than as a husband.

She will be coquettish to him, but she will also be coquettish to others.

Her kindness to him is no different from her kindness to Baoshu and Suifeng.

Perhaps it was because of his initial prejudice against her that he drew a clear line between the two from the beginning, and he was talking about himself. If he had known that he would fall in love with Su Yueling, then he would definitely not be so kind to her.

Cold and defensive.

Fortunately, now, Su Yueling and he each lived in a courtyard. The other party obviously enjoyed this separate space and had no intention of changing. With Yuan Suijun's temperament, he couldn't ignore her wishes and forcefully break into her.

in life.

After a while, Yuan Suijun suddenly smiled, feeling that he was incompetent.

Although Yue Ling has no romantic feelings for him now (he can still see this), she doesn't have anyone else she likes. Moreover, he and she are still known as husband and wife. If they have so many advantages,

, and someone will take away the one you love, and then even he will look down on himself.

What he has to do now is to make her more accustomed to his presence, just like boiling a frog in warm water.

Suddenly he remembered something. Yuan Suijun took out the jewelry he ordered in the state capital. He ordered two boxes in total at that time, and he gave the box for Baoshu to her the next day after returning home.

.

The one given to Su Yueling was temporarily left in his hands because the last step was still needed. The pattern of this hairpin was drawn by him himself, referring to the golden osmanthus he picked personally during the Luming Banquet.

He opened the box and found that the petals of the sweet-scented osmanthus were made of pure gold. The small and exquisite petals were grouped together, which was extremely delicate. There were small pearls inlaid in the middle of the petals, and the green ones were carved from jade. His hands

Holding the hairpin, as he moved, the petals swayed, as if the wind was blowing the sweet-scented osmanthus. The whole hairpin looked extremely smart and beautiful. Moreover, the middle of the hairpin was hollow. The petals that fell at that time,

Yuan Suijun did not throw them away, but cleaned them and dried them. He then found a few nuns to make a scent of osmanthus, retaining the original fragrance of the osmanthus as much as possible. He stuffed the scent of osmanthus into a hairpin, and

The hairpin has its own fragrance.

If it weren't for the scent of osmanthus, he wouldn't have delayed sending it until now.

He then took out a box from the small secret door in the study room - the box contained the land deed for two thousand acres of land. The land deed was bought when he finished the provincial examination, and it also had Su Yueling's name written on it.

He held these two boxes in his hands and walked towards Su Yueling's yard.

Su Yueling was almost asleep at this time, and she didn't expect that Yuan Suijun would come back not long after he left.

"What's wrong?"

She had taken off the makeup on her face and put on indoor clothes. The white gauze dress was embroidered with gold threads with a kind of flower that Yuan Suijun had never seen before. She looked brighter than she looked in the day without applying any makeup.

, added the beauty of boiled hibiscus.

Yuan Suijun said calmly: "I just remembered that I haven't given you the gift for going to the state capital."

"What gift?" Su Yueling, who is not short of money, can buy anything she wants. But for her, the things she buys lack the sense of surprise, and the things others give her are different, just like opening a blind box.

It’s very exciting. If it was given by Yuan Suijun, it would be even more exciting. Yuan Suijun’s aesthetic taste can be ranked second. As for the first place, of course it is her!

Yuan Suijun said with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Open it and take a look."

Su Yueling looked at it and picked up the top nanmu box. She opened the box and found an osmanthus hairpin lying quietly inside.

She picked up the hairpin with surprise on her face, "This osmanthus looks like the one you broke off!"

Not only are the osmanthus flowers exquisitely made, but the green leaves carved from jade are also fresh and green, as if they are alive. Even the little pearls look very cute.

Sure enough, she can always trust Yuan Suijun's vision!

"Help me design a suitable bun. I want to wear this tomorrow!"

If Su Yueling has something she likes, she should use it immediately without delay.

She sniffed it and looked a little more confused, "I seem to smell the fragrance of osmanthus."

She held the hairpin and put it between her nose. The originally vague fragrance became more obvious.

Sure enough, it's because of this hairpin!

"How did you do it?" Su Yueling was very curious about this, "Did you put it in incense for a period of time beforehand?"

Because she was anxious, she grabbed Yuan Suijun's wrist with her other free hand.

Yuan Suijun's eyes fell on her jade-white hands, and he quickly took them away.

He slowly told Su Yueling how to make the sweet-scented osmanthus.

Su Yueling suddenly realized, "It turns out that we can still do this. It's a coincidence."

Yuan Suijun's lips curled up, "Thank you for the compliment."

There were only two of them left in the room. Originally, it was Shengnan's turn to sleep in the outer room tonight to serve Su Yueling. Because Yuan Suijun came, she left the room first and waited at the door.

Yuan Suijun braided Su Yueling into a spiritual bun. Compared with other buns, this bun had a more elegant and ethereal feel.

While he was combing his hair, Su Yueling opened another box. She was surprised to find that there were two thousand acres of land deeds in her name, and they were all from the state capital. They were all fertile land. The state capital

The fields there are much more expensive than in Guangning County. An acre of such fertile land costs at least four taels.

"Huh? When did you help me buy a field?"

"Shu Shu didn't tell me." At first, Bao Shu was in charge of the money. Later, when Bao Shu wanted to deal with the dyeing shop, she handed the account book to Wu Shu. Wu Shu has now become the housekeeper of her yard.

Yuan Suijun said: "After Wu Xiujie was arrested, the other families divided the assets of Dafang. Among them, the third family who got the land wanted to get the money as soon as possible, so they sold the farmland in their hands, and I bought it.

It’s the money you asked me to collect before.”

Su Yueling wondered, when did she ask Yuan Suijun to collect the money? Why didn't she remember?

Suddenly she remembered something and looked shocked.

"Wait, you mean the previous five thousand taels?"

At that time, Su Yueling asked Yuan Suijun to help with the Mo family's sugar business. Afterwards, she gave Yuan Suijun 5,000 taels of silver as commission for the transaction.

In the end, Yuan Suijun actually used the money to buy a field for her? The money she gave to Yuan Suijun became his.

"Can five thousand taels buy two thousand acres of fertile land in the state capital?"

That is naturally impossible - even if the three-bedroom house is sold at a low price, the minimum price per acre is three and a half taels. For these fields, Yuan Suijun put in two thousand taels himself.

He lied without changing his face, "Okay. The other party was eager to make a move, so they sold it to me at a low price."

That's it.

Su Yueling believed it and sighed, "You are so lucky!"

Yuan Suijun's lips curled up, "It's you who are lucky."

Su Yueling accepted it with a polite smile, "I have some luck with wealth."

"You have used up all five thousand taels, do you still have money to spend?"

In particular, Yuan Suijun often brought her gifts, such as today's hairpin. The price is not low at first glance, at least five hundred taels. Although Yuan Suijun can make money from calligraphy and painting, the money he earns is also limited.

"As the head of the family, how about I give you a monthly salary!" Su Yueling felt that she couldn't lose Yuan Suijun. After all, he was a candidate for the imperial examination. Maybe next year he would be a Jinshi master. He couldn't be allowed to dig around when he was out.

Yuan Suijun looked at her serious expression and couldn't help laughing, "Well, I'm going to have a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow, so I have to bring a red envelope with me. Now I only have a hundred coins on me."

A red envelope is a red envelope, right? Su Yueling understands this. It's only a hundred yuan, which is too miserable. Su Yueling sympathized, maybe Shengnan had more money than Yuan Suijun.

"How much should I bring?"

"One tael of silver is enough."

The head of the family, Su Yueling, said very generously: "I have given you two taels of approval."

"From now on, I will draw twelve taels of monthly money every month as money for entertainment."

"Thank you madam for your thoughtfulness."

"You're welcome~"

Su Yueling, who exercised her rights as the head of the family, was also very happy.

------Digression-----

In fact, Yuan Suijun is still rich. He pays at least one hundred taels for household expenses every month. He just enjoys asking his wife for money【】
