Chapter 199: Trap
The old lady looked at Chen Shangshu and pleaded, "Husband, since Fluttershy likes that jade bracelet so much, don't give it back to others!" She's grown so big, and you haven't bought her any gifts, just as a gift for her. β
"Shangshu Mansion is almost out of the pot, what more gifts do you need? Your mother and daughter go and return the jade bracelet and exchange it for some rice and noodles and vegetables. Chen Shangshu deliberately threatened.
Caiyun stood aside and saw the mother and daughter, trembling, the corners of his mouth twitched and said, "Daddy, since my sister-in-law likes the jade bracelet, stay it, and the food expenses of Shangshu Mansion should not be worse than ten taels of silver!" β
Listening to Lu Caiyun's plea for her daughter, Mrs. Chen was also busy saying: "Master, what Caiyun said is very right, the food expenses are really not bad for these ten taels of silver, and our food expenses for the first three months are all thirty taels of silver, although there is no meat to eat, but the vegetables and rice noodles are still very sufficient." Now I have added the thirty taels given by my son, yes, now there are only twenty taels, which should be very abundant. β
"Since the food expenses are enough, do you want Mei Niang to pay money to supplement the family?" Chen Shangshu looked at his wife and asked.
The old lady glared, only to know that she had fallen into a trap, so she had to say in a soft tone: "Since the food expenses are enough, then don't give money to Mei Niang, after all, she has no source of income." β
"Mother, have you thought about it, you really don't need Mei Niang to pay money to supplement the family, do you want to make a note?" Chen Bo said deliberately.
"You kid, don't you believe what your mother said, and what kind of evidence do you make?" The old lady reprimanded her son.
Chen Shangshu looked at the house and shouted, "Xiaohong, you go and call Steward Chen." β
Not a big deal, Steward Chen pushed the door and came to Chen Shangshu, only to hear Steward Chen say: "The old slave has seen the master, I don't know why the old slave was called?" β
"Steward Chen, listen, in the future, you will be in charge of all the expenses in the house, I will give you eighty taels of silver every month, firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables and meat here in the stove, no more than fifty taels per month, and the remaining thirty taels will be allocated to the side of the house to purchase items, but you remember that all the clothes and jewelry in the house must be approved by me." Chen Shangshu explained to Steward Chen.
"Got it, master," Steward Chen didn't know why Chen Shangshu suddenly gave so much silver to himself at his disposal.
Chen Bo saw that his father handed over the silver to Steward Chen's management, and knew that his father couldn't trust his mother now, and he was afraid that she would spend money again.
The corners of Caiyun's mouth twitched, and he said to Chen Shangshu: "Father-in-law, since there is nothing to do here, we will retire." After speaking, he picked up Chen Bo and left.
On the way, Chen Bo looked at Caiyun and said, "Xiaoyun, it seems that Daddy doesn't dare to trust his mother anymore, otherwise he won't hand over the silver to Steward Chen's management." β
Caiyun Ou pouted and said, "It's not your mother, I'm too spoiled by your sister, I want the stars not to give the moon, and I'm used to having a bad problem,"
"Okay, let's go and sue SΓΉ Mei Niang, she finally doesn't have to pay the money." Chen Bo didn't want to talk about his mother and sister.
The two came to Mei Niang's residence together, and Xiaoru saw Lu Caiyun and Chen Bo coming in, and hurriedly shouted, "Big lady, brother, are you here?" β
Hearing her call her like this, Caiyun grinned and asked, "Xiaoru, why do you call your young master brother, and call my sister the eldest lady?" β
Hearing her ask, Xiao Ru blinked, and didn't know how to answer, you must know that the reason why she calls Mei Niang her sister is because she has taken care of herself since she was a child, and she has long regarded her as a sister and called Chen Bo brother, one is that she is more familiar with him, and the other reason is that Chen Bo has never had a young master's shelf, giving people a sense of intimacy.
Mei Niang saw Xiaoru standing there and didn't know how to answer. Hurriedly explained: "Sister, the reason why Xiaoru is called Young Master Brother is completely because she is familiar with him. β
"Xiaoru, I like you very much, I don't have a sister, just when you are a sister, you can call me sister in the future." Lu Caiyun said jealously.
"Then sister, you have to take me to play in the Zhuangzi tomorrow? My brother promised me. Xiaoru is really depressed, you must know that she has not left since she followed Mei Niang into the house.
"Okay, my sister will take you to Zhuangzi tomorrow to play, not only that, but my sister will also make you a dress." Caiyun saw Xiaoru wearing a shabby dress.
"No, sister, Xiaoru has new clothes, and she will change them when she goes to Zhuangzi tomorrow." Xiaoru thought about being able to go shopping tomorrow and was very excited.
Mei Niang also smiled and said: "Sister, you really don't have to bother, Xiaoru has new clothes, but she usually doesn't go out, and she is reluctant to wear them." β
Caiyun looked at Mei Niang and said: "Mei Niang, we have made it clear to my mother-in-law, you don't have to give any more money to supplement the family, if there is nothing to do tomorrow, go to Zhuangzi with Xiaoru to have a look!" β
Mei Niang was very happy when she heard that she didn't have to give out the money, and hurriedly said, "Then thank you so much, young master, sister." But I won't go to Zhuangzi, you can just take Xiaoru there, she is young, and she is the age of playfulness. β
"That's fine." Caiyun didn't want Mei Niang to follow, after all, it was not easy for her to introduce herself to outsiders. Do you want to tell me myself, let me introduce to you, this is the third lady of my father-in-law. In this way, it is obvious that people will mistakenly think that Chen Bo is not good to him, he doesn't like himself, and after marrying himself into the door, he can't wait to marry two rooms.
Mei Niang actually wants to go out, since she entered the house, she and Xiaoru have never gone out again.
Chen Bo seemed to know that Caiyun didn't want Mei Niang to go to Zhuangzi, so he hurriedly said: "Mei Niang is better tomorrow, you can also go out and see your sisters by the way." β
When Mei Niang heard it, Chen Bo said that she would let herself go out, and she was very happy, but she was embarrassed to agree directly, so she resignedly: "I'm still not going!" β
"Go ahead! Xianggong has spoken, who dares to stop you, said Okay, tomorrow I will take Xiaoru to Zhuangzi to play, you go to Yanchun Tower to be nostalgic, we will all go out of the house, "Caiyun actually wants to be angry with Gaoyue."
"Xiaoyun has nothing else to do, let's go back! It's dinner time, and I'm hungry. Chen Bo saw that it was not early, and urged Lu Caiyun.
"Why don't my sister and young master dine here with us!" Mei Niang looked at Caiyun and said, although she knew that Caiyun's food must be much better than her own. But it's not good to give it away.
"No, sister, those four maids should look for our husband and wife everywhere later." Caiyun said with a smile-
