"How much?" Zhu Yan's voice was calm and flat, although he didn't show any terrible expression, but he vaguely revealed a ruthlessness.

The sunlight was shining on her snow-white gown, so dazzling that it was difficult for human eyes to open it, and the delicate red plum on it was like a trace of blood, which was shocking.

Yang unconsciously stopped her mouth, in her memory, although this little girl was born in a high family, she didn't remember it since she was a child, she has always been a weak and well-behaved, bookish girl, and a boudoir woman with melancholy in her bones.

Xu Suzhen wiped her sweat, quietly pulled Zhu Yan's sleeve, and gave a cautious look.

She does not blame her daughter for not being cautious in her words and deeds, on the contrary, although she herself is cautious, she admires Zhu Yan's arrogance in her bones, but she ...... If you are rich and powerful, such an attitude is tantamount to icing on the cake, but they are ......

Xu Suzhen's eyes darkened, and she sighed softly.

"Mother, don't worry." Zhu Yan pursed her lips, and her voice was extremely low.

A pair of slender hands were caged into her sleeves without a trace, and she tightly grasped the bag of honorarium given by Mrs. Bian, she was not very sure of the weight, but it was quite heavy to start, and then looked at the generosity of Mrs. Bian's shot, this silver must be a lot.

Let's bet this time, if this money is enough to pay off the debt, I think I will be able to have a lot of stable life.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yan threw a comforting glance at Xu Suzhen, adjusted his feelings, smiled, and raised his head to meet Yang's somewhat stunned gaze, "Dare to ask my aunt, how much do we still owe you?" ”

Zhu Yan's voice is still very good, but somehow it reveals a little eerie feeling, which makes people shudder when they listen to it.

Cut, it's just an old girl who can't get married, what can she do? Yang cheered himself up in his heart, and looked at her with a smile, "It's not much, it's exactly twenty taels." ”

Zhu Yan felt that his hand trembled obviously, the density of sterling silver is not small, and how much weight does twenty taels weigh in this era?

Fingers slowly reached into the fabric that Madame Bian had used to wrap the honorarium, and slid across the cold metal with great speed.

Just now when Mrs. Bian was sent back, it happened that Xu Suzhen came back, and seeing her somewhat unhappy look, Zhu Yan didn't dare to say anything about it, let alone take out the silver to look at it.

Now the tentacles, although it is only for a moment, also feel the delicate pattern on the silver surface, this Mrs. Bian is generous, and her words are very sincere, presumably the remuneration is a lot, and even the color is very good.

He is penniless in addition to this, Xu Silk Zhen just came back from the bazaar, presumably it will not be much better, now Haikou has boasted, there is no turning back arrow when he opens the bow, if he is really ashamed, then he will be lost.

With her mind already decided, she frowned lightly and smiled gently, "Zhu Yan just got some silver, maybe he can pay it back." ”

Yang saw her frowning one moment and was about to make a mockery, but the next moment he saw her take out a burden from her sleeve very elegantly.

Xu Suzhen was also very surprised, but then realized that this must have been a gift from the lady just now.

"If it's shorter, my aunt will also have to read it in the relationship of relatives, and then give a few more days." Zhu Yan smiled lightly, becoming more and more beautiful.

At the moment when the slender hand is wrapped, the delicate satin shines softly in the sun, no matter how you look at it, it will not be ordinary, and how can such a satin wrap not even cover a mere twenty taels?

Yang's eyes were staring at her hand, her skin was smooth and white, almost comparable to the tooth-white satin, but she was not in the mood to appreciate these at the moment, she just watched the silk cloth unveil little by little.

The dazzling reflection of the sun hit her right in front of her eyes, almost blackening her eyes.

"Huh......?!" Before Yang could react, she heard Xu Suzhen speak in surprise, but when she looked over, Xu Suzhen had already changed into a smile on her face.

She unhurriedly picked up a few large pieces of loose silver from Zhu Yan's hand, weighed them in her hand, nodded, and hurriedly covered the silk cloth package outside.

"Mother?" Zhu Yan felt that her behavior was a little abnormal, but she didn't want to expose it, so she still put the package in her sleeve.

Half of the weight was lighter, Zhu Yan sighed secretly in his heart, this family is really wealthy, not to mention the many things that have been sent, that is, the so-called consultation fee has been given fifty taels.

"Here, it's exactly twenty taels." Xu Suzhen glanced back at Zhu Yan with a calm expression, and there seemed to be a hint of reproach hidden in her eyes, but she immediately turned to Yang, "Sister has always had weight in her hands, if you don't believe it, you can also enter the house and weigh you before settling it." ”

Seeing that her expression was stern, Yang Shi also spoke with a little inviolability, which was very different from the previous sneering and flattering expression, so he changed his complexion in time and smiled, "This is not necessary. ”

Quickly took the silver from her hand, and started it heavily, feeling happy in her heart, but thinking of the glance just now, the silver in Zhu Yan's hand was far more than that, especially the new ingot, even if it was a glimpse, she still loved money like life, leaving an indelible impression in her heart.

This girl who is so sick that she is dying of money is now gone? I only hate myself for having no eyes, and I offended her as soon as I came in, so I had to find a way to redeem it.

"Auntie, we've cleared the two, you...... Can you go back? Zhu Yan's face sank a little, and the red plum in front of him was like a drop of blood, which made Yang look a little hairy.

"Hey, what did my niece say, we still look forward to your mother and daughter going back to their parents' house to have a look." Yang stiffened his neck and said this, and then fled and left the courtyard of the Wang family, which was submerged in the grass and trees.

Zhu Yan sighed with relief, pinched her sleeves and slowly wiped away the cold sweat from the corners of her forehead, closed her eyes, and felt that the area around her outer canthus was constantly beating.

She was indeed afraid, how could she have argued with someone so unsmiling before? But I don't know where I got the courage just now, but I kept it so ...... Calm?

Zhu Yan felt that his heart was beating violently, and his whole body suddenly lost his strength, sighed softly, and slowly walked into the house.

The house that belonged to her was a small room on the west side of the second floor.

The interior of the house is simply furnished, with a bed, a table, a few chairs, and in addition, a shelf of books and several camphor wood boxes.

The box was trimmed with exquisite copper strips, and Zhu Yan once turned out a beautiful wedding dress in the largest bite. The material is delicate, all pressed with gold thread swastika dark lines, and the various embroideries on it are also exquisite, not like the hands of ordinary embroiderers.

It's a pity that I am afraid that I will not be blessed to wear such clothes after all.
