Chapter 173: How can there be no money
Xue Mingsheng was very annoyed, if this was before, he must have thrown his sleeves and left, found a place to drink flower wine, listened to small songs, and waited until his anger subsided and he was not so irritable.
But not now, although he wants to get angry and want to leave, he is no longer the second young master who can be so willful before. Carrying the name of the head of the Xue family, the lives of hundreds of people, no matter how hard and difficult it is, they can't retreat, take a step back, it is what Qianfu is referring to.
Xue Mingsheng is not afraid of what Qianfu points to, he feels that he has money and power, so he naturally wants to enjoy it. Shut up those who are verbose and live as they want.
But the strength is not now, and he is not so stable now. Xue Lang's funeral is his first task and the first opportunity to perform, so many eyes are staring at him, he can only do it well, not badly.
Pressing down the irritability in his heart, Xue Mingsheng said, "Steward Li, wait a minute, I'll go get the money." Come on, pour a cup of tea for Steward Li. ”
The little servant responded, and hurriedly brought the tea up, Steward Li wiped the sweat on his face, sat down, looked at the back of Xue Mingsheng walking to the inner room, and sighed.
Since he can remember, the Xue family has never been short of money, and Xue Lang is not a playboy of a loser, he died after spending his family's money, why is Xue Mingsheng even reluctant to take the money for his father's funeral now.
The old housekeeper shook his head outside, and Xue Mingsheng hurriedly entered the inner courtyard, but there was really no way, so he went to find Yu Shanna.
He knew that his mother-in-law had saved a lot of private money in the Xue family over the years. Although he doesn't want to take his mother's private room for himself, but now that he thinks about it, there is really no other way. You can't take what's in the storehouse and sell it.
And the strange thing is that although there seem to be a lot of things in the storeroom, if there are really very valuable things, I really haven't seen them. He was also a little strange in his heart, but he didn't have the time to think about it at this time.
Hurriedly arrived at Yu Shanna's yard, Yu Shanna was resting, she had moved from the small courtyard where her aunt lived back to the big yard where she was used to living, and added a lot of maids and maids to serve.
Although he died. But the son became the head of the family, and Yu Shanna, except for the day of sadness at the beginning, quickly calmed down, and. Although she still looks sad in front of people, in private, she has already picked up the old lady's money, as if she is the housewife.
Yu Shanna was leaning on the couch and pretending to sleep, letting the girl beat her legs. Seeing Xue Mingsheng walking in quickly with a sweat, he opened his eyes, and said with some reproach: "Why did you go so quickly, do you still think you are a reckless hairy boy?" Now you are the head of the Xue family, and you are watching every move with so many eyes, and you are reserved. ”
Xue Mingsheng had something in his heart, where did he have the heart to listen to Yu Shanna's preaching, waved his hand and asked the little girl to go out and close the door, and then sat next to Li Shuhua: "Mother, do you have any money?" ”
Yu Shannaqi said: "What do you want money for?" ”
"Hold a funeral for my father." Xue Mingsheng said: "I really didn't expect that the funeral would cost so much money. Steward Li said. I'm afraid it will cost three or four hundred thousand silver. ”
Yu Shanna has seen more of the world than Xue Mingsheng, so she naturally doesn't think there is anything, so she patted Xue Mingsheng's hand and said: "Our family is the richest man in Linchuan, and this is the first major thing for you to be the master of the house. Now the entire Xue family is yours, and there are thirty or forty million. ”
"There are so many words, but I can't take them out for a while." Xue Mingsheng said with a bitter face: "Now I have no money on me, and Steward Li is still waiting outside." Mother, you must have private money, bring it to me first. ”
Li Shuhua has silver, and she can't take out three or four hundred thousand yuan at once. But hundreds of thousands are not a problem. But at that time, although she would not be reluctant to give it to Xue Mingsheng, it was not so easy to take it out.
And Li Shuhua was very strange: "Three or four hundred thousand taels is not much, why can't you take it out, there is no money in the treasury?" I looked at it that day, and there were several chests of silver. ”
The Xue family couldn't come up with 300,000 taels of silver, which was a big joke. Don't say it, others don't believe it. Even Yu Shanna didn't believe it.
"It's really not, can I still lie to my mother?" Xue Mingsheng said: "There are only seventy or eighty thousand silver in the treasury, which has already been spent, and I have taken out my own savings, but it is still far away." ”
Yu Shanna's attention was not in Xue Mingsheng's complaints, but in his sentence, the savings in the treasury were only seventy or eighty thousand taels.
"How can it be only seventy or eighty thousand taels." Yu Shanna's face was incredulous: "I heard your father say that there is indeed not much cash in the treasury, just a reserve for emergencies. But it's not much, 1.8 million is also indispensable, 780,000 taels, what can it do, what can it do, what kind of urgency can it be handled. ”
Yu Shanna has never entered the warehouse, but sometimes she has talked to Xue Lang intentionally or unintentionally, and she still has a general understanding. One million and eight million, her estimate is not wrong, the silver ticket plus cash, in the Xue family's treasury, there are more than one million emergency silver.
It's just that Yu Shanna never expected that when everything was undecided, Chu Lingfeng would not dare to greet anyone, and lead people to directly loot the Xue family's treasury.
Yu Shanna also loves money, and Xue Mingsheng also loves money, but if they want to say that Chu Lingfeng did this thing, they really don't have the courage to do it, and they can't think of it at all.
Although Yu Shanna has always wanted to go into the warehouse to have a look, because Xue Lang has just passed away, Xue Mingsheng has not been able to establish her prestige, so she has not had a chance to go in yet. Although she was very anxious in her heart, she could not show this eagerness, lest people should see it and point fingers behind her back.
But at this time, I heard Xue Mingsheng say that there was no money in the warehouse, but Yu Shanna couldn't sit still. It's not that she has a shallow vision, and she feels that Xue Lang has no money left, and she can't live this day. It's that she thinks it's impossible to run out of money in the treasury, and something must be wrong with this.
Could this money be hidden somewhere, or was someone take it away?
With a personal choice in mind, Yu Shanna stood up suddenly: "Let's go, take me to the treasury to have a look." ”
"Now?" Xue Mingsheng hurriedly said, "Mother, give me some money first, Steward Li is still waiting outside." ”
Yu Shanna had something in her heart, and she didn't be verbose, she took the key to open the cabinet, took 10,000 taels of silver to Xue Mingsheng, and after he sent it out, they went to the treasury together.
The warehouse was still quiet, and after Xue Mingsheng opened it, it was still the same as before, and there was no change. But the row of silver chests in the corner of the wall was empty, and there was not a silver or two to be found. (To be continued.) )
