Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[34]

Mrs. Liu suddenly came to her senses and asked Wei Huanian, "Miss Yuan has taken a fancy to my fourth child?"

Wei Huanian gently nodded to Mrs. Liu, and said with a smile: "Madam Rong, Ah Jing has been different from ordinary children since he was a child. The mansion invited many masters to teach him, but in the end they failed. After the Qianlong Temple met the fourth son of your mansion, Ah Jing actually relied on her a lot. After many inquiries, he learned that the fourth son was the first-year Tanhualang. It couldn't be better."

Liu's eyes paused for a moment on the child in Zhou Jinyu's arms. After thinking for a while, she declined with a smile, "It's just that the fourth child in my family is so stupid that he absolutely can't mislead his children."

Zhou Jinyu was about to speak up to defend himself, when he saw Wei Huanian smiled at Liu Shi, and said softly, "Fourth Young Master is not stupid, but I think she is very smart."

When Wei Huanian said this, he looked at Zhou Jinyu with a smile in his eyes.

With just her glance, it seemed as if she had seen through all Zhou Jinyu's little thoughts just now, including that she had deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked her if she had a husband.

When Zhou Jinyu was seen by her, she panicked with embarrassment for a moment. She didn't dare to meet the eyes of the little bun girl, but at the same time she thought in her heart that she finally got the answer she said herself.

And the answer is still satisfactory.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhou Jinyu's mouth unknowingly swayed into a somewhat obvious smile. She held the little bun in her arms and smiled at Wei Huanian: "It's a matter of whether you are smart or not. Different people have different opinions. After all, people , Always be smart when you should be smart, and be stupid when you should be stupid.”

Wei Huanian rolled his eyes subconsciously when he heard the words, and asked, "Then Mr. Zhou thinks, when should you be smart and when should you be stupid?"

Zhou Jinyu: "...that's it."

Zhou Jinyu was stuck by her question, thinking: Of course he should be stupid in front of you, and he should be smart in front of everyone except you.

Seeing that she was silent, Wei Huanian turned to look at Liu Shi and asked, "If Fourth Young Master is willing to be Ah Jing's master, I am willing to offer a hundred taels a year. What do you think Madam?"

"That's good." Mrs. Liu thought for a while, wondering why: "It's just that people are being arrested every day outside Chang'an City recently, and my old lady is not at ease when my fourth son goes to your house every day."

Wei Huanian stared at Mrs. Liu for a while, and suddenly understood: "Then why not add it to 300 taels?" Wei Huanian continued, "I've heard a little bit about the Jinjiawei patrolling outside recently. If Madam finds it difficult, it's not convenient for you to come to me on Thursday. Your residence, it is the same when I send Ah Jing to your residence every day."

Mrs. Liu sighed, and said: "Hey, I also like this child. I am naturally happy when he comes to my house every day. It's just that your young master spends money on food and clothing at my house..."

Wei Huanian answered simply this time: "Madam, you can rest assured, you can ask someone to calculate the amount of silver for Ah Jing's daily food and clothing expenses in your residence, and make a list for me at the end of the month. I will not give less to your house."

Liu said with embarrassment: "How can this be counted? You can't send people to watch him every day, hey, I think it's still..."

"Mom, you're almost done. You're just being a child's master, and 100 taels is enough."

Zhou Jinyu really can't listen to it now, why does my mother always calculate so carefully when it comes to issues related to silver, every time she goes to Qingfengnian and sees Liu's bargaining with those rice farmers , as if watching a fierce confrontation between you and me, it surprised her every time she watched it.

Liu Shi glared at her: "What do you know!"

Zhou Jinyu curled her lips: "But I actually can't spend it..."

Wei Huanian interrupted her abruptly, and said to Liu Shi, "Then it's 450 taels, what does Madam think?"

"450 taels?" Mrs. Liu nodded instantly, and said to Wei Huanian with a smile on her face, "How can this be done? Ms. Yuan suddenly gave me so much money, and it really cost me money. How dare she feel embarrassed about my fourth son, who also spends money on it?" Not so much money, the fourth child—"

Mrs. Liu called Zhou Jinyu: "Thank you Miss Yuan soon!"

Zhou Jinyu just felt that she couldn't say a word. She obviously didn't say a word in this transaction, and Liu Shi said that it was tantamount to throwing all the blame on her.

She hugged the little bun, and smiled at Wei Huanian embarrassedly: "Thank you, little bun girl... er no... thank you Miss Yuan."

Wei Huanian only said: "Young Master, you are being polite." She turned her head to Wan Qiu, the maidservant, and said, "Wan Qiu, first bring this year's silver, and take an extra 50 taels to make up the full 500 taels. Appreciation ceremony for the first time."

"It's... master."

Wan Qiu glared at Zhou Jinyu viciously, and reluctantly handed over a bank note to Wei Huanian, who handed the bank note directly to Mrs Liu, who took a look at the bank note, it was impressively written with 500 silver Two, Mrs. Liu looked at the official seal on the bank note, and after verifying the authenticity, she knew it in her heart. Then, she put the bank note along the cuff and put it directly into her sleeve.

The movement is natural and done in one go.

Zhou Jinyu was amazed.

In fact, there are many branches in Qingfengnian, depending on the geographical location, the profit flow is also different, but the 500 taels that Little Baoziniang gave her recently is more than half a year's profit of the Qingfengnian branch with normal business, Liu Shi is naturally happy.

It's just that the little bun lady can carry so much money with her at any time, and she's so generous that it's 500 taels per mouth, although she didn't get a single 500 taels, and it all went into Liu's sleeves, but... ...This is enough to show that Xiao Baozi's natal family must be very rich.

But such a person who is not short of money, how can he be a traitor?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu became more and more certain that she was definitely not an ordinary traitor, but maybe a traitor who was rich and powerful.

So at this moment, Zhou Jinyu was so heartbroken that her mother sold herself to an incomparably rich rebel for 500 taels of silver.

What can a mere 500 taels of silver do?

Well... 500 taels of silver is enough to buy a very spacious mansion in the capital.

But, is her Mr. Zhou the one who lacks the 500 taels of silver?

Does she need it?

Well...she lacks.

The answer is of course yes.Although she is the son of Zhou's family, the richest family in the capital, her monthly silver is actually not a few taels, and the use of the silver is strictly controlled by the Liu family.

In fact, her worth is really not that expensive. She can be a master for others. As Liu Shi said, if the other party is not afraid of misleading his children, she is already very satisfied with giving her 80 taels, and she really can't use as much as 500 taels .

Furthermore, if the other party is Little Baozi, if he is the obedient and cute Little Baozi's master, how can he use the money?

Whatever he wants, he can't wait to hold it up to him, but he doesn't need money.

When the little bun girl left, she only said that she would bring the little bun over tomorrow morning, and said that Ah Jing would formally pay homage to her as a teacher.

Zhou Jinyu has never experienced this before. She only remembers that when she was accompanying the young prince Sun Hao that day, except for the first big gift to the old master in the palace, she never did it again, and there was nothing troublesome about it .

As soon as Wei Huanian and his party left, Liu Shi also had to go out. She hadn't gone to celebrate Fengnian for a whole morning, and she was afraid that those old fritters in charge would steal and play tricks, so she would eventually go out for a walk.

Before leaving, Mrs. Liu said to Zhou Jinyu: "Ah Jing, you care so much. You have received money from him. Of course you have to teach him well."

Zhou Jinyu reminded her: "Mom, it was you who took a lot of money from others, not me."

Mrs. Liu glared at her: "What about the stone lion in front of the door that you smashed today?"

Zhou Jinyu argued: "Didn't you deduct my monthly silver? Besides, mother, a stone lion is worth 500 taels, not even 50 taels!"

Mrs. Liu thought for a while, then suddenly patted her head and said, "Mother will keep it for you, and when you get married, I will give you the money together."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

This is a fool!

She suddenly remembered that after she married the Zhou family with the Liu family, she was sent by the Liu family to Qianlong Temple to practice martial arts before the Chinese New Year.But when she returned to the Zhou family in the first year, Mrs. Zhou counted all the New Year's rewards for the five years she left and gave her to her. Zhou Jinyu was happy when he suddenly got a large amount of money. After a while, who knew all of them were taken away by the Liu family...

Her rhetoric back then was also today's sentence, and when she got married, she would return the money to her.

Who believes?

Zhou Jinyu wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to contradict Liu Shi for a while.She only hoped that Jinfeng could do what Mrs. Zhou asked her to do properly, so that she could get some money from Mrs. Zhou.

When it was evening, the little prince Sun Hao came again.

Zhou Jinyu sat with him in the living room, and the young prince Sun Hao drank tea. Zhou Jinyu asked him: "You are a soldier, and you are not afraid of being scolded by your superiors when you run out when you see the sky?"

"Boss, you mean that dog-headed commander?" Sun Hao shook his head and said, "Hey, I get angry when you mention this. That bastard has nothing to say, and even bullies the recruits. If the recruits don't send him off in private, Silver, he actually made a trip in private."

Zhou Jinyu frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

Sun Hao said: "There are many such things."

Zhou Jinyu asked him: "Then did he trip you up? Or did you give him money?"

"Give me a fart!" Sun Hao patted his chest: "I am a dignified little prince. If he dares to trip me up, I will kill him! But because of this, I did well in the military camp. The old people treat me well." I was startled and frightened, the new recruits looked up to me, hehe, they were still happy."

Zhou Jinyu took a sip of tea, and said casually, "Even if this is the case, you still have to be careful, and be careful not to be praised and killed again."

Sun Hao only thought she was talking nonsense: "What can I do? Aren't you jealous of my prestige in the army?"

Zhou Jinyu chuckled when he heard the words: "Me? Do you think my Master Zhou will be jealous of you?"

"Is not it?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head. Hearing what he said, he didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh: "Do you still remember when we entered Qiulu Academy together? Didn't everyone respect you at that time?" And I'm afraid that in the end, we will join forces and make you stumble?"

When Sun Hao heard this, he snapped cleverly.
