Chapter Eighty-Nine: Entanglement

The second lady's hand shook, and the Buddha beads fell on the kang table. Make a screeching sound. "Ten thousand taels?!" The voices trembled in disbelief. This is not broken silver, how can it be casually ordered? Second Master Ning glanced at the shocked Second Lady with a little annoyance: "In the woman's opinion, that is a secret imperial history, not to mention 10,000 taels, it is 100,000 taels, and it should be taken out." I'm also thinking about Lin'er, even if it's a flat wife, the Xianguo Mansion will look down on our daughter. The second lady's hands are still trembling slightly, and she will indeed take a look at it, what do people do in secret? Just to check the sale of illicit salt, what is the source of the unclear money in the second room account? Men always think that women don't know what to do outside, and everyone in the backyard knows what to do. "Are you so happy that you didn't think that people would suspect the origin of this money when you take out so much silver?" The second room is not a serious son-in-law, how can the Ning family accommodate the second room so generous. Even she didn't dare to be too publicistic in front of the old lady on weekdays. This pen was taken out, and the family background was lifted to show others. Second Master Ning looked disdainful: "How can you go from the account." Naturally, he has to go to the public account in the name of the Ning family. It's easy to save a little bit over the years. The second lady slowly breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay, her brain had not burned dry. Know how to weigh it. On the side of Lixiangyuan, the green kite also reported the information it heard to Chonghua. Chonghua tilted his head and looked at her: "Ten thousand taels? Can the eldest uncle agree? The green kite replied respectfully: "The eldest lord means that he has to meet with the secret imperial history before he can come up with this silver." "Ten thousand taels, Chonghua recalled the shallow knowledge of gold and silver exchange in his previous life. In the Qing Dynasty, silver was not that valuable, and a tael of silver was worth about 100 to 200 soft sister coins. In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a tael of silver would be worth about 2,000 to 4,000. Although the current era is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, it is much stronger than the Qing Dynasty. Ten thousand taels of silver, which is definitely not a small amount. Second Master Ning is a little smarter, and this money will definitely not be paid out of his own pocket. I want to let the eldest master pay for it in the name of the Ning family and make this lottery by myself, but I understand the calculation. But if the eldest master is light, he can let people take advantage of him, and this head of the family should not do it. "Meet and talk, how can you let him meet. It is said that the secret history of the imperial history is not to be taken lightly. Who knows if the Ning family is involved in the illegal salt trade. If you meet, you climb into a relationship. Impartial law enforcement is a slap in the face. Chonghua propped his chin and drew a diagram of the relationship on the paper with a brush. Qing Kite nodded: "I'm afraid the eldest lord is also thinking about this." Chonghua put the pen down: "But if you really take out this silver, the Ning family will be pushed to the cusp." "What has the imperial court been afraid of since ancient times? What I'm afraid of is that someone is rich and the emperor of the soil. The Ning family has a lot of money, so it's good to confiscate it. Reaching out to ask for money in the name of the emperor, no one dared not to give it. If these 10,000 taels are really taken out, the time for heavy bleeding will follow. twisted his eyebrows, he thought that the Ning family was in the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the capital, so it shouldn't be so complicated. At most, it's the in the back house. Ignore them and it's over. Who would have thought that the middle-class family of this era would not stop. The Ning family's family business is definitely not as good as that of the nobles in Beijing, but this consumption level can be regarded as above average. was actually targeted. The contradictions within the family are relatively easy to solve, but if they involve the imperial court...... For some reason, Zhou Wenyuan's cold face suddenly flashed in Chonghua's mind. I shuddered involuntarily. His hands and feet suddenly became cold. "Miss?" The green kite was startled when she saw Chonghua's sudden pale face. Chonghua waved his hand: "It's a little cold, burn a hand stove for me." Qing Kite thought that Chonghua pretended to be sick and stayed in the house for a long time some time ago, so she hurriedly walked out of the warm pavilion and asked the maids outside to burn the stove and hold it for her. Chonghua gathered the shawl on her body, she was already invisible. Besides, Zhou Wenyuan didn't like her either, but he was just angry about things he couldn't grasp. It shouldn't be too much of a struggle for her. I rubbed my hands, but the chill still didn't dissipate. In the capital, there is a small courtyard in the hairpin alley. Under the dense vine flower shelf, the third prince Yingying got up and poured a glass of wine for Zhou Wenyuan. There were all kinds of side dishes on the table, and there were no people waiting. There were just the two of them, and they didn't say anything, bowing their heads and drinking wine, occasionally holding a chopsticks and side dishes. The third prince's phoenix eyes fluttered, and he lightly looked at Zhou Wenyuan's eyebrows, which had not been stretched since he entered the door. After a while, he sighed: "I have become a relative, and there is no joy on my face." Zhou Wenyuan tilted his neck and drank all the wine in the cup, pushed the wine cup in front of the third prince, and asked him to pour it again. The third prince glared at him angrily, but he still reached out and picked up the wine jug and poured a cup shallowly. "It's full." Although Zhou Wenyuan lowered his head to eat vegetables, his eyes seemed to be on the top of his head. The third prince pursed his lips and smiled, and filled the wine cup. still pushed in front of Zhou Wenyuan. "How's it going?" Zhou Wenyuan's tone was light, but it was like a spring breeze in February, which made people's faces hurt. As soon as the third prince put down the wine jug, when he heard him ask, he complained with a smile: "It's okay if you don't mention it, but I'm upset if you mention it." Obviously you want to check, why use my secret guard. In the future, if the second brother asks them, it's not me who carries the black pot? Zhou Wenyuan put down his chopsticks lightly, and this time he didn't drink them all, but took a shallow sip: "Found it?" For his deafness, the third prince could only glance at him angrily, and in a blink of an eye, his face straightened: "I found it." Zhou Wenyuan put down the wine cup, raised his eyes again, and his eyes were already dark: "Where?" The third prince was stabbed by his eyes: "Jiang Nan's family." Zhou Wenyuan picked up the wine cup and drank the remaining sip of wine, no wonder he couldn't find out. It turned out that it was hidden in the Ning family. He should have thought of it, how could a person like Xiao Jiu, who acted casually, do things rigorously. It is often because of this that they avoid the pursuit of those who habitually think too much. In this way, it makes more sense. Seeing him twist his eyebrows and ponder, the third prince tapped the bowl in front of him with chopsticks: "Don't you want to ask what status she has in the Ning family?" Zhou Wenyuan smiled coldly: "What status you have, you have to return to your master." The third prince paused his chopsticks, and his eyebrows gradually wrinkled. Why are you so obsessed with Chonghua. It's obviously not love, it's clear that there is a wife at home, why don't you let it go? Chonghua has already hid so far away, won't he let her go?
