"Two thousand taels of silver, two thousand taels of silver!" The eldest lady flicked her sleeves angrily, and another group of short-lived entwined lotus tea sets were swept to the ground, and there was a sound of ping-pong, and the tea splashed all over the ground.

Cai's mother looked at the broken porcelain tiles distressedly, thinking in her heart whether this was the ninth or tenth set. The Yuanning Marquis Mansion is very particular about these utensils, and the ones bought back are all special products fired in the official kiln, and ordinary people can't afford to use them. But no matter how rich you are, you don't have to fall like this.

She regretted it very much, knowing that the eldest lady was so expensive, she knew that she would not go to the treasury to receive such a valuable tea set, and she went to the market to find a set of identical fakes to replace them, anyway, the eldest lady would not be able to distinguish the authenticity of things, as long as she saw broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the eldest lady was satisfied.

"Two thousand taels of silver! Two thousand taels of silver, where do you let me get it!" the eldest lady sat upright in her chair, panting and sulking.

Mother Cai looked at the eldest lady, beckoned secretly, and the maid ring under came up lightly, and soon finished cleaning, and retreated lightly.

Mother Cai personally brought over a freshly brewed Sangju almond tea, put it in front of the eldest lady, and said softly: "Madam, drink a cup of Sangju almond tea to extinguish the fire, this matter is in a hurry." ”

"Can you not be in a hurry?" The eldest lady took a sip of Sangju almond tea, only then did she feel a little less angry, and snorted angrily, "Last month, my sister-in-law sent a letter saying that her aunt and grandmother had a seventieth birthday, and I just sent a jade Ruyi worth nearly a thousand taels of silver to the past; Seeing that the full moon is about to be full again, I am still wondering where to get a few hundred taels of silver to top it up, which is good. Give me a deficit of two thousand taels of silver at once, how can I fill this hole?"

The more the eldest lady thought about it, the more headache she felt, and suddenly remembered that she had been seized of power again, and she would not be able to pull silver into her pocket in the Yuanning Marquis Mansion in the future, so she was even more angry, and slapped her palm on the table, so that the tea on the table almost splashed out again.

"Madame, don't be angry. Cai's mother said busily. "Madam, please think about it, all these years, Madam, you have been in front of the home of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion. Even if there were some rumors, the old lady would turn a blind eye and warn the people in the house not to chew their tongues. What does this mean? This shows that the old lady is still a little jealous of us. As for the reason for this. If the slave doesn't say it, the lady can guess one or two, right?"

The eldest lady gradually calmed the fire in her heart and nodded: "Mother Cai is right, if it weren't for my brother's sake, the old lady would have given me this face?"

Cai's mother smiled gloomily: "So, this face, I gave it before, and I give it now." I still have to give it later. Madame did the right thing, the general's side needs to work harder. As for the power to preside over the feed, let the second room watch it for us first, the slave is sure that it won't be long before the old lady will have to put this power in your hands. So, I think, the old lady is only an expedient measure to do this. ”

The eldest lady nodded, agreeing with Cai's mother's words, but ......, "Then how long will we wait, it will take a year and a half to wait, I don't have that patience." ”

Mother Cai smiled again: "Madam, isn't this all about people." ”

The eldest lady's eyes lit up instantly: "It's man-made, yes, it's man-made, I don't believe it, the one who lacks the roots in the second room can beat me!"

Cai's mother rolled her eyes: "But madam, don't be careless, you must know that the fourth girl in the second room is a powerful character." ”

The eldest lady snorted coldly: "A little girl, I eat more salt than her! If you want to fight with me, then wait and see." ”

Mother Cai looked at the eldest lady with a smile: "Madame has an idea?"

The eldest lady smiled proudly: "It's too idle in the second room these days, I'll keep them busy." ”

But when she thought of the two thousand taels of silver that she was going to take out, she felt panicked: "Mother Cai, what should I do if you said the two thousand taels of silver?"

She had read all the accounts before, and there was not much left except for the month's personal contacts and daily expenses. The two thousand taels of silver were a big hole, and she didn't know where to find a way.

Moreover, they all complained about her useless husband, who had no temper at all in front of the old lady, and didn't know how to deny it, whatever the old lady said, he should do the same, it was useless, if it weren't for his previous ...... Alas, how can I marry this wretch!

Thinking of this, the eldest lady felt that the resentment in her chest had accumulated again, and she looked at the teacup in front of her unpleasantly, and was about to drop the teacup.

"Madam!" Cai's mother hurriedly stopped her and said, "Now the top priority is that we should first solve the two thousand taels of silver in front of us." According to the slave maid, can the general borrow 1,800 to come over and rescue the emergency?"

"You said you borrowed money from my sister-in-law?!" the eldest lady's eyes widened. It's better not to mention it, if she mentions it, she can no longer hold back the anger in her heart, "You don't know the temperament of my sister-in-law, you only know how to get in but don't know how to get out, don't say borrow silver, you stick to her it!"

As soon as she thought of this, the eldest lady became angry. I think that back then, she had such a thing and turned the family upside down. Her father was so angry that he locked her up, confiscated all her silver, gold and silver jewelry, and forced her to marry. The mother washed her face with tears all day long, and the sister-in-law, who had just entered the door, avoided her like a plague, and she wanted to have a letter sent outside, and borrowed a few taels of silver from the stingy sister-in-law. She still remembers the terrible words from her sister-in-law: "People want to face trees and bark, do such things yourself, and expect others to clean up the aftermath for you? Don't dream, ask for silver, no way!"

Thanks to a loyal girl by her side, Zijuan, who risked her life to escape from the house, and quickly went to the border to find her brother who was lining the border, which solved her predicament. Later, at the suggestion of her brother, she married from Jianghuai's maiden family to the capital, and only then did she live a normal life.

So far, she has saved a mustard for the only sister-in-law. But relatives always have to come and go, not to mention her brother, who she also has to rely on. It is not so much that her mother's family is her backer, but that her brother is her backer. She also knew that her status in the Yuanning Marquis Mansion over the years was all supported by her brother's fame. If not, he will definitely not live this kind of pampered life, and he will not be favored by the old lady. So she endured this breath and tried not to provoke this sister-in-law as much as possible, not only that, but for this sister-in-law, she also responded to her requests, giving whatever she wanted, in short, trying not to offend.

Cai's mother said tentatively: "The eldest lady of the Xue family, the ** milk of the Zhao family, and the ...... of the Song family" Seeing that the eldest lady's face was getting worse and worse, Cai's mother stopped talking.

The eldest lady said helplessly: "Forget it, don't expect those people, you go and bring the account books, and I'll look at those shops." ”

Cai's mother couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Madam, is it difficult to sell the shop?" (to be continued......)
