Ruoxue was a little amused when she saw his happy appearance, "If you have money, you are not allowed to spend it indiscriminately, if you let me know that you are using the silver in an improper place, see that I don't use the family law to whip you." She said.

Mei Zhigao's expression fell, "Got it." He said, if you don't let the flowers go around, you won't spend them indiscriminately, anyway, it's good to have silver.

"Go back, the third aunt is going to be in a hurry." She said.

"Good. Eldest sister, let's go back too. He said.

Ruoxue turned around and returned to Guanfang Courtyard with Mi Pearl and Gong Yue.

Mei Zhigao returned to his courtyard, the hall where Tao lived was still burning with candles, and there were figures walking back and forth on the window panes, so it could be known that the people in the house had not yet slept.

The maid Caihu came out of the small ear room in the west pantry, holding a pot of hot tea in her hand, and saw Mei Zhigao in a daze in the courtyard.

"Second Young Master." She said, "Why don't you go in when you come back?" Look it's freezing outside! ”

Mei Zhigao came back to his senses from his stunned, smiled and walked towards the house, "Hasn't A-Niang rested yet?" He said.

Chaehun replied, "No, I'm waiting for you to come back."

While talking, two more maids came out of the house with curtains and shouted, "The second young master is back!" And he stood at the door, waiting for him to come in.

In the house, Tao sat up straight when he heard the voice, and the fourth lady Ruofeng, who was sewing a purse on the side, put down the half-embroidered butterfly in her hand, pinned the needle to the purse and looked up at the door.

Mei Zhigao walked in and shouted, "A-Niang." Seeing that Ruofeng was also there, he called again: "Why doesn't my sister go to sleep yet?" , what about the little sister? Slept? He looked into the inner room.

The third master, Mei Jitan, was not at home, so Tao let the two daughters sleep in her house, so that she could be a companion.

The maid stepped forward to untie the cloak for Mei Zhigao, and another maid took a hand stove for him to hold, Caihu walked to the side with the teapot and put it down on the table, poured a cup of hot tea and put it where he could reach it.

"Xiao Liu'er has to sleep with your third sister and won't come back." She said.

When Mei Zhigao sat down, Tao asked, "How is it, what did the son of the world say, did he say how to understand this?" ”

Mei Zhigao handed the hand stove to the maid beside him, picked up the teacup and smacked, "That prince is quite reasonable...... He said.

"He confessed, so did he say how to compensate your uncle?" Dow asked anxiously.

"How much money did the prince pay to his uncle?" Ruofeng asked.

Mei Zhigao is a little blind, he hasn't finished talking yet? Why did his aunt say that she wanted to make amends!

He looked at his sister, how could she guess that someone had compensated for the money?

"Ahem...... Mei Zhigao coughed dryly, "At first, he didn't recognize it, but then he found his guards, and I recognized a few at a glance, and the prince admitted it." He said, ignoring his sister's questioning.

If Feng asked, Mei Zhigao couldn't answer, if he answered, the silver in his arms might not be whose it was.

"He didn't embarrass you, did he?" Tao found out that the question was wrong, and it was Ruoxue who went to find the prince to theorize, not her son, so she quickly changed her words and said, "It's not difficult for him to be for you and your sister, right?" ”

Mei Zhigao took a sip of tea that was not hot, put it on the table on the side, took the stove in the maid's hand and hugged it, and then said: "It's not that it's embarrassing, it's just that it's just embarrassing in words." ”

Mei Zhigao told Tao what Ruoxue asked for and how the prince of Jin Zhang replied to Ruoxue after seeing him in the courtyard where the prince of Jin Zhang lived.

Tao who listened also felt that Ruoxue's request was too much, and people beat the emperor's son, but they didn't apologize, why should you apologize to one of the people, she would not agree to such a request.

Tao sighed with emotion, Ruoxue's momentum was violent, if it weren't for her like that, that prince wouldn't have taken care of anyone in their family at all!

"Oh, where's the silver ticket? Did the big sister take it? Ruofeng blinked her eyes wide and looked at her second brother Mei Zhigao.

"That's right!" Tao was reminded by his daughter and looked back, "Did your eldest sister take the silver?" That's for your uncle, oh...... And your share! She said.

Mei Zhigao was a little embarrassed, what did he say, saying that the silver was in Ruoxue, so how could he do it! said that the silver was in his arms, this is even worse, if his aunt knew! He will take it immediately, and then he will have no share of the money.

"Second brother doesn't want to take it out!" Ruofeng smiled and broke Mei Zhigao's careful thoughts.

"No......," he shouted.

Mei Zhigao was a little anxious, he couldn't sit still, he hadn't done anything to deceive his parents, he couldn't blame him for this today, he had to blame his eldest sister, she didn't let him tell his aunt.

When Tao saw his son like this, he also knew that there were other things in it, "What did your eldest sister say, you said it to A-Niang, I promise not to beat you." She said.

Mei Zhigao saw that his aunt was looking at his sister, gritted his teeth and said: "The eldest sister gave me the silver, let me take out one hundred taels of silver, and reward it to the guard Xiao Si who went with me and my uncle, and the remaining nine hundred taels of silver for me to share with my uncle." ”

After finishing speaking, Mei Zhigao took a deep breath, and he didn't have the feeling of being a thief in his heart.

"That's it!" She said.

Tao thought about Ruoxue's intentions in doing this, and asked his son to reward the guards and Xiao Si, which allowed his son to establish prestige in the hearts of his subordinates; Let him divide the money with his uncle, which can be regarded as an explanation to Tao Zhe, Ruoxue really can't find a mistake in doing things.

"Since it's the eldest sister who said it, let's do as she says. You have the money, don't go out and spend it, keep it when you have something, take it out and take it out for an urgent or something. She said.

"Got it." He said.

Mei Zhigao drooped his shoulders and leaned back in his chair, another person who didn't let him spend money indiscriminately, was it easy for him to get a little bit of silver? Why can't you go out and buy something you want!

A stone in his heart was put down, and sleepiness came up, Tao yawned and said, "Go back and wash and sleep, I'm tired." ”

"Then Auntie rest." Mei Zhigao stood up and saluted Dow, turned around and went outside.

Ruofeng saw him go out, slipped off the kang, kicked and pulled his shoes and chased him out.

Dow shouted from behind, "Where are you going?" ”

"Get rid of it." She said.

Out of the room, Ruofeng chased Mei Zhigao into the small courtyard in the west, Mei Zhigao's eldest maid Cai Ju was helping him take off his robe outside.

"Why are you running here and not going to sleep?" He said.

"Second brother, second brother." Ruofeng pulled Mei Zhigao's padded jacket sleeve, "You have so much silver, give me a little." She said.
