It was only later that I learned that Master Qi’s betrothal gift had two options: in kind, or in exchange for money of equivalent physical value, which was eight million oceans.
Of course, Master Qi has the final say as to whether the physical value is really worth so much - some treasures are overpriced and have a price but no market, but Master Qi always settles on the highest price.
In this way, the money is definitely much better than the real thing.
Sifang chose money.
"There are too many things, and Yun Qiao has no place to put them. It's not as convenient as cash." Fourth Master said.
Therefore, Xi Lanting gave her a betrothal gift of eight million yuan.
In Yancheng, where you can buy a piece of land for a few thousand dollars, eight million dollars is a very astonishing amount, which can shock people. Ninety-nine percent of people have never seen so much money in their lives.
The inside of Xi Mansion was shocked.
The old lady said: "The money for the betrothal gift is Xiaoqi's own private money and does not go into public accounts."
Xi Mansion was once again in an uproar.
This is even more shocking than walking into a public account.
"Master Qi has so much money?"
"Where did Xiaoqi's money come from?"
At this time, the secret revealed by the second master and the second wife was spread among the servants.
"Xiao Qi's private property is much more than you think. He has dozens of mines, not to mention various factories. He does all kinds of business. He also has many banks."
From top to bottom, Xi Mansion was stunned.
Master Qi is sick at home all day long and rarely sees anyone. Why is he secretly making so much money outside?
Only then did everyone in the Xi Mansion realize that even if they didn't divide their wealth, Master Qi was staggeringly rich.
The second room has no qualifications to compete with the seventh master.
In the Xi family, the only one who can stand on an equal footing with Master Qi is the governor.
"No wonder Si Fang didn't care about his face and got a girl for Xiao Qi. It turns out he already knew the inside story."
"Even if he dies tomorrow, we still have eight million dollars, which is enough for the four families to spend their entire lives."
"Can I spend all my money in a lifetime? My family of more than ten people can't spend it all in a lifetime. Where should I spend it? How about buying a school site in the French Concession?"
"I heard that Xiao Qi also gave me a diamond ring as a special gift. The diamonds on the ring cost more than hundreds of thousands."
There is so much money that it is dizzying.
After the fourth room confirmed the form of the betrothal gift, Xi Lanting asked Xi Changan to open an account at the Sino-French Bank, deposit his betrothal gift, and then took out the check book and deposit receipt of the Sino-French Bank for Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao's net worth suddenly increased sharply.
She became a real little rich woman. She originally had some money and property of her own, but she couldn't compare with Uncle Qi.
When Du Xueru thought of this, she became very angry and said to Fourth Master Xi again: "You should get something! How can we get money for the betrothal gift? When she gets married in the future, we will all have to pay for the dowry."
What Fourth Master Xi considered was that Yun Qiao was a guest in the Xi family and had no real natal family.
A large number of valuable things were delivered, and Fourth Master Xi and the others were suspected of being a thief. Du Xueru was short-sighted. If she secretly hid a few things, Fourth Master Xi would have to bear the reputation of embezzling his stepdaughter's betrothal gift.
He doesn't want to!
Fourth Master Xi is innocent and does not want to be dyed fishy for no reason.
It would be better to ask for the money, all in Yun Qiao's name, which would save them the burden of guessing, and Fourth Master Xi would have nothing to worry about.
As for marrying Yun Qiao, Fourth Master Xi will only use the basic etiquette of Yancheng. That is, the dowry for ordinary girls when they get married is furniture and jewelry, so he will only buy these.
Fourth Master Xi couldn't afford to give her the shop or the land, so Yun Qiao probably wouldn't want it either.
It won't cost him much.
Du Xueru was almost going crazy with jealousy.
"So much money..."
However, she felt a lot more relaxed when she thought that her son was about to become the young marshal of the Governor's Mansion.
She will be equally rich in the future.
(According to the comparison between prices during the Republic of China and now, an ocean is equivalent to about 300 yuan today. Therefore, our seventh master spent 2.4 billion to marry a wife. The last time Yun Qiao donated 100,000 oceans to the Medical Association, it was approximately equal to
30 million, so people from the Medical Association respect her very much.)
Xi Lanting: Marrying a wife is so expensive, otherwise I would just stay single for another four thousand years.
