Xu Wanyi looked at Zhang Yanling and sighed and said: "Master Hou, I actually came to see Master Hou today because I knew that Master Hou was encountering difficulties. Wanyi knew that the money in the Hou family's account was tight, and they could no longer make ends meet, right?
?”
Zhang Yanling said in surprise: "How do you know these things?"
Xu Wanyi said softly: "Master Hou is going to suspect Wanyi of spying on you in private, right? Wanyi is not that kind of person. During this period of time, I have nothing to do and wander around the house. In fact, I am listening to
I arrived and saw some things. I accidentally went to the accounting office that day and heard the two gentlemen in the accounting office chatting, so I listened. I really didn’t mean to pry into these things. "
Zhang Yanling sighed and said, "What did they say?"
Xu Wanyi said: "What they are talking about is the expenses of the mansion. They say that the money in the mansion is like running water. Two to thirty thousand taels of silver are spent like water, and they are all spent in a few months without any income. The two accountants
The gentleman was worried about the expenses of the house, so he said a few words."
Zhang Yanling scolded: "Those who talk too much, how can I spend my money? Do you want them to talk too much?"
Xu Wanyi said angrily: "Master Hou, don't blame them. They are also worried about the expenses of the house for the good of the house. Their accountants also have the duty of reminding them, don't they? Are they pinching their noses and saying nothing, allowing their accounts to be in deficit and unable to support them?
Can’t make it?”
Zhang Yanling frowned and said nothing.
Xu Wanyi continued: "After hearing this, I couldn't help but go in and ask a few questions. When they... saw me asking, they didn't dare to hide it..."
Zhang Yanling knew in her heart that outsiders did not know her true relationship with Xu Wanyi. The servants also only knew that Xu Wanyi was the mistress of the family. Maybe they knew that she did not have a harmonious relationship with him, but the mistress was the mistress, and they did not dare not listen.
When Xu Wanyi asked what she said, they naturally didn't hide it.
"...They told me the situation. It turned out that the expenses on the mountain in Xishan Manor were so huge, more than 20,000 taels of silver had already been spent. There were only a few thousand taels of silver left in the account. It was only late that I wanted to
This is the first time I know this is the case. I didn’t know about it before." Xu Wanyi said softly.
"Those are all necessary investments. This is what I have to do. You don't have to worry about it." Zhang Yanling said.
Xu Wanyi frowned and said: "Master Hou, tell me, how much more money does it need to be invested to get a result?"
Zhang Yanling smacked her lips and said: "It's a bottomless pit there, and I don't know how much money it will cost in the end. But to achieve the most basic goal, seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver will be enough."
Xu Wanyi nodded slightly and said: "In other words, the Marquis still needs to invest at least five or six thousand taels of silver to achieve initial results, right?"
Zhang Yanling said: "Exactly. At least these are needed."
Xu Wanyi said: "But the follow-up funds from Mr. Hou have already been sourced, right?"
Zhang Yanling shook her head and said: "Not really."
Xu Wanyi said: "So Master Hou plans to stop work, or does he have other plans?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Why do you ask this? It seems you don't need to worry about it. I have my own reasons for doing things."
Xu Wanyi said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, what are you talking about? You spent so much money on the renovation of that mountain. Although it is your money, this matter has already affected everyone in the Hou family.
There are so many people in the house who depend on the prince to survive. The servants, nurses, grooms, cooks, maids, maids, etc., all of them need money from the marquis to survive. Their family members may also rely on this salary to survive. Doesn’t the marquis consider it?
These?"
Zhang Yanling frowned and said: "Of course I won't ignore these, I have my own way."
"What method? How about you tell me? How to raise this large sum of money?" Xu Wanyi asked.
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "Princess, what are you doing? I told you that you don't need to worry about these things."
Xu Wanyi tilted his head and said: "Why don't you just say it, you have no way to raise such a large amount of money, right? You are afraid of losing face, so you just refuse to say it."
Zhang Yanling stood up and said: "What a joke, how can I not raise money for just tens of thousands of taels of silver? I Zhang Yanling opened my mouth, but I don't know how many people gave me money. If it doesn't work, I will go to my brother Shouning Hou, or ask my queen Sister, please move some money to help first. You won’t be troubled by a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Xu Wanyi looked at Zhang Yanling quietly and said: "Master Hou, Wanyi has inquired about it. The cost of your marriage to me was the private money borrowed by the Queen. As for your eldest brother, when you collected the acres of the manor last year, all the money was He paid for it, but he doesn’t have any money left. Am I right?”
Zhang Yanling glared at Xu Wanyi and said, "How do you know? You still dare to say that you didn't check me behind my back?"
Xu Wanyi said coldly: "Of course I didn't check you behind your back. This is what others told me. Some people were worried that you really owed a lot of loan sharks and ruined the family business, so they checked you secretly and told the results That's all me. I didn't ask him to check you out, and I don't believe you owe us a loan shark at all."
Zhang Yanling said angrily: "It's your brother again, isn't it? Mr. Xu is really amazing. He smiles in front of him and calls him brother, but he does this behind his back."
Xu Wanyi shouted: "Don't accuse my brother unjustly. My father asked someone to investigate this. My mother was worried that you owed loan sharks, so she told her father. My father then ordered someone to ask. My father didn't believe it. He only asked about this to dispel my mother and sister-in-law's misunderstanding about you. My father told me not to tell you about this, but I don't want to hide it from you."
Zhang Yanling sneered and said: "I am really impressed by your Dingguo family. From top to bottom, they all like to do tricks behind their backs. I am really impressed."
Xu Wanyi shouted: "Master Hou, if you want to scold me, don't slander my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law. My parents raised me so old and married you, shouldn't they care about my life? My sister-in-law Although she is a little rude, doesn't she care about me? They don't know about you and me, so naturally they don't know how to not interfere in our affairs. You can't say that to them. They have no ill intentions towards you, have they harmed you? I I know you are dissatisfied with them, and I am also dissatisfied with them, but after all, they are my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law."
Zhang Yanling frowned for a long time, sighed and waved his hands: "That's all, let's not talk about this anymore. I don't want to argue or quarrel with you. I'm already troubled enough. Princess, please go back. I will solve my problem myself."
Xu Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Master Hou, Wanyi is not here to quarrel with you or make you troubled. Wanyi is here to help you. Here is 50,000 taels of silver, just take the emergency .Goodbye in the evening."
Xu Wanyi took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, placed it gently on the table, stood up and walked out.
Zhang Yanling looked at the stack of banknotes in astonishment, was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Stop! Princess, please take away the banknotes."
Xu Wanyi stood still and turned to look at Zhang Yanling. There was disappointment, anger, blame, and pity in his eyes. It was complicated and difficult to describe.
