"Second elder brother, you don't know yet, a few days after I came to the capital, Old Lady Huo invited my father-in-law's family to the Huo family as a guest, and I also went, at that time, Old Lady Huo introduced several members of the Huo family who served in the imperial court to us, including the second elder brother's Shangfeng Lord Huo."

"How can I say it, I am also the nephew and son-in-law of the Huo family, Lord Huo is holding a birthday banquet, how can I not go to celebrate, second brother, this matter is settled."

Chu Li didn't allow Chu Di to refuse, so he picked up the teacup and sent someone to see off the guests.

I didn't even want to leave Chu Di to eat.

Chu Di didn't even get the silver from Chu Li's hand, and left angrily.

The little guy who followed Chu Di said tremblingly, "Master, what should I do, the deadline for handing over the silver will come tomorrow, and once we can't get the silver tomorrow, then the deposit we paid before will be gone." ”

"Master, the Zhuangzi in the southern area of the suburbs of the city is the best grange in the capital, if we miss this opportunity, we will want to buy it next time, but I am afraid that we will not be able to meet it." The other little guy sighed regretfully.

Chu Di gritted his teeth and said, "Go back, see if there is anything in the warehouse, go out first, and then redeem it when the silver is sent from Hangzhou." ”

"Yes, sir."

Chu Di went back in the carriage.

As soon as he got home, Chu Di instructed the housekeeper to clean up the front yard warehouse, and then he himself went to the backyard to find Aunt Guo.

Aunt Guo is coaxing her youngest son to sleep.

Chu Di entered the house and said, "Ah Ping, do you have any silver in your hand, give me some first, I have an urgent need." ”

Aunt Guo hesitated for a moment before she said, "There are some, not much, just two hundred taels." ”

The two hundred taels of silver were the monthly money she and her youngest son had saved for living in Hangzhou for ten months, and they had not spent it.

Chu Di frowned, "Why is it just like that, you are at home, and A-Niang didn't give you silver flowers?" ”

"There is monthly money in the house, I am an aunt, ten taels of silver a month, and the fourth child is five taels a month, I have saved it and have not moved, it is all here."

Aunt Guo took out all the two hundred taels of silver she had worked so hard to save.

She is in the capital and has no monthly money.

She helps Chu Di take care of the house, Chu Di will give her fifty taels of silver every month, fifty taels of silver sounds a lot, but there are more than 20 people up and down the family, and she has to pay twenty taels of silver for the monthly money alone, and there are thirty taels of silver left.

It's better to eat a little, but it's not enough to chew.

She had chattered in front of Chu Di several times that it was not enough to chew, but Chu Di complained that he had little money, and the chewing at home was all subsidized by the Chu family in Hangzhou.

Chu Di asked her to save some use.

Many people think that she is helping Chu Di's housekeeper in the capital, and think that she is as prosperous and rich as Mrs. Zheng, but in fact, she is more poor than anyone else.

When she returned to Hangzhou last year, Chu Di was generous, but he only gave her three hundred taels of silver.

Chu Ningrui got married, and the makeup she gave cost two hundred taels of silver.

If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, several children received a lot of red envelopes, but I am afraid that she would not be able to save the two hundred taels of silver.

Aunt Guo watched Chu Di and took away her two hundred taels of private silver, feeling depressed for a while, and muttered, "Master, it's almost summer, the children's summer clothes haven't been prepared yet, and the summer clothes of the people in the house should also be prepared in advance......
