Seeing Zhen Wanyi's gloomy face, the fourth wife said with a smile: "You take this box back first and ask the prince, see what the prince says? Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zhen Wanyi thought about it, so she accepted it, "Then take it back and show it to the prince, if the prince doesn't accept his mother, he will give it back to my filial cousin for me." ”

The fourth lady nodded, with a tolerant smile on her face, "Got it." ”

That night, as soon as Qi Rong returned home, he was pulled to the inner room by Zhen Wanyi, waved away the waiters, opened the box given by the fourth wife and handed it to Qi Rong, Qi Rong raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Zhen Wanyi pouted, "This is what my filial cousin asked my mother to bring me, and I have 20,000 taels of silver tickets." ”

Qi Rong took out the silver ticket and looked at it, and then dialed the purple pearl in the box, looking relaxed and comfortable, before Zhen Wanyi couldn't help but speak, he said: "This bead is wrong, since it was given to you by your uncle's family, then you can keep it." ”

Zhen Wanyi opened her mouth and looked at Qi Rong in a daze, she thought that Qi Rong would let her go back.

Seeing his wife's stupid appearance, Qi Rong smiled, "Since your uncle gave it to you, you can keep it, so that they can rest assured, otherwise they will be embarrassed to trouble us in the future." This year is the first year of opening the seaport, many people have not had time to prepare, and many are waiting, some families in the capital are also secretly preparing, and the fleet to go to sea next year is only a lot more, since the uncles have taken the opportunity to do this Nanyang trade route.

And to make this business bigger and deal with the city of the division can not be less, if you use the king's signboard to act more conveniently, you accept these things uncles are also at ease, what is the king in the future to bear a little more, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhen Wanyi thought about it for a while, if she asked someone to do something, others would not accept gifts, but they were afraid that if they were tired once, it would be difficult to work for the second time, but they still felt uneasy about getting 20,000 taels of silver for no reason.

"It's just that I always feel embarrassed to get the silver for nothing. Lord, you see that my father invested 1,000 taels when his cousin went to sea, and at the end of this year, 10,000 taels were divided, or I will also invest 1,000 taels in it, and I will share a little silver every year, okay?"

Qi Rong didn't care, "You can just be happy about these things." ”

Zhen Wanyi smiled when she heard this, "Okay, I'll go to my grandfather's house tomorrow to explain this matter to my cousin." ”

Qi Rong nodded, but he thought in his heart that the villain was too kind-hearted, and it was better not to let her know about the outside affairs in the future.

On the second day, Zhen Wanyi went to Yu's mansion early with gifts, and Mrs. Yu happily got up to greet her at the door.

Zhen Wanyi hurriedly went over to help the old man, "Grandmother, what are you doing standing at the door this cold day, hurry up and go in to warm up." ”

Mrs. Yu smiled and patted the back of her granddaughter's hand, "It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm in a hurry." ”

Mrs. Yu said on the side: "If we hadn't stopped the old lady from going to the second gate to pick you up, who would have called our daughter's daughter precious, even you are only a girl of two grandchildren." ”

Zhen Wanyi thought about it, the Yu family has a daughter in her mother, and Yu Jinzhen is a granddaughter in her grandchildren's generation, and she is really yang and yin. "What's wrong with this, you see that several cousins have married cousins, and the family is becoming more and more prosperous. ”

Sitting down on the low bed, pulling the family routine, and talking about the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Zhen Wanyi asked about Yu Jinxiao's whereabouts, and just as Yu Jinxiao was in the mansion, the old lady asked people to summon her.

borrowed the old lady's study, Zhen Wanyi handed over the silver ticket, Yu Jinxiao's face was pulled down on the spot, and she frowned and said, "Is this what you mean or what the prince means?"

Zhen Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Naturally, I mean, the prince doesn't care, it's just that I think everyone is cousins, and cousin filial piety is too much of an outsider." ”

Hearing that it was Zhen Wanyi's own meaning, Yu Jinxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "What's so strange about this, you see that you have such important news, and we also asked Lord Hu to escort our merchant ships to sea under the guise of the prince, and that Lord Hu will not accept a penny of silver, you must know that other people's ships must leave at least one percent of filial piety from the city." Our family didn't spend a penny to earn all of it, how can you say this business makes us feel at ease?"

When Zhen Wanyi heard this, she felt even more that she couldn't accept it, "Hu Dahai confiscated me, and I can't accept it, is my friendship with my uncle's family not as good as Hu Dahai, an outsider?"

Yu Jinxiao pulled his face, "How can it be compared like this, Lord Hu doesn't accept it for the sake of the prince's face, now that the prince knows that he will inevitably accept Lord Hu's affection, no wonder you still want the prince to subsidize it himself?" It's better for me to send it to you than to send it to the prince, after all, we are cousins, and giving it to you is just to give you some rouge gouache money, and it is embarrassing to give it to the prince." ”

Zhen Wanyi naturally understood, but after listening to Yu Jinxiao's words, the corners of her mouth twitched, how much is the 20,000 taels of rouge gouache money, and she won't need so much in her life.

"Since my cousin said so, then let's change the method, if you really want to help me earn a rouge gouache money, then I will join a share like my father, and it is enough to divide the gouache money every year. Seeing that Yu Jinxiao still wanted to say more, he hurriedly said: "If you don't promise me, you don't want it." ”

Yu Jinxiao shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you are the biggest, then you will join a share next year." But you still have to accept this money this year, this is not negotiable, just use the news as the principal. Although there are only four ships, it is the most profitable one, and when our silk, tea and porcelain are transported to the Ryukyus, the price is almost doubled, and the goods shipped back are also sold at a high price. The box of pearls that was given to you was the first time I received it, and I won't be able to receive such a good thing later. ”

Zhen Wanyi persuaded for a long time, and Yu Jinxiao said, "If you don't accept me, you can only send it to the prince." ”

After having no choice, Zhen Wanyi took out a thousand taels of silver tickets, "Then this is my principal for next year, as much as my father, and it will be as good as my father in the future." ”

Yu Jinxiao took the silver ticket with a smile and said coolly: "Okay, it's just as good as my uncle." ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at Yu Jinxiao's smiling face, and always felt that something was weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

I didn't know that Yu Jinxiao had already put it in, the fourth master only invested 1,000 taels this year and earned 10,000 taels, and the fourth master didn't take it back, and it was used as the principal for next year, that is to say, the principal invested by the fourth master next year is 11,000 taels. The 1,000 taels given by Zhen Wanyi today will be the same as the principal of 11,000 taels of the fourth master when it is divided next year, Yu Jinxiao still made Zhen Wanyi accept a bribe in disguise, and made Zhen Wanyi feel at ease without knowing it.
