Chapter 108: The Housekeeper's Troubles

"Ten thousand taels? Where did you get all that silver?" Shi Yu asked in surprise, how many years has he been an official to collect tax deductions from the people's fat and people's ointment, and he can only get 10,000 taels a year, and this girl has only been here for a few days? I just got so much, and sure enough, there are people outside the people. However, how could she get so much silver without taking bribes and not collecting taxes, Shi Yu was very curious.

"Is 10,000 taels a lot? When I first arrived here, I had a silver ticket of 50,000 taels with me. But soon it was gone." Qingqing muttered, and then she realized that something was wrong, and looked up to see them looking at her with surprised eyes.

"What are you doing? The money won't cost me anymore." Qingqing pouted, thinking that they were disgusted that she could spend money.

"No, you took 50,000 silver tickets from my uncle's house? How did I not know?" Zhang Xiang asked with a calm face, if he knew that his uncle's family had so many silver tickets, he would definitely not let Qing Qing take them, and now Li Jiajun is hiding everywhere under the oppression of the imperial court, and he is worried that there is no silver to let the brothers live better, but this girl will be defeated in 50,000 taels and three months.

"You didn't ask me, did you? I thought you didn't care. Besides, ninety percent of the money was spent on your brothers' marriages. You can check it out. I've posted a lot of them. And the 30,000 taels of silver I collected from Brother Shiyu have also been spent." Qingqing said and took out the bottom of the stone jade. Shi Yu ate the porridge and spit it out.

"50,000 plus 30,000 is 80,000, what have you purchased? That's it?" Shi Yu asked Qingqing with wide eyes, just the speed of this loser was about to subvert his worldview.

"Don't you see? Running a school, and my mother's clinic is the most expensive place, and I don't need to pay for hiring so many miscellaneous people?" Qingqing was aggrieved and didn't eat the chopsticks.

"Okay, just spend it, it's all good things for the people anyway, just save some flowers in the future." Shi Yu coaxed Qingqing.

"How do you save what you mean by lightweight? Otherwise, I won't leave it to you, so that I can concentrate on learning medicine with my mother every day." Qingqing rolled his eyes and looked at Shi Yu.

"Forget it, it's better for you. I'm busy enough with my affairs. By the way, I'm going to the prefect's house to pay New Year's greetings in a while, have you prepared a gift?" Shi Yu suddenly remembered that the practice on the first day of the Lunar New Year was to go to the prefect's house to pay New Year's greetings, and the thunder could not move.

"You didn't tell me in advance how I was going to prepare? Do you want another large sum of silver? Am I about to become a housekeeper? You go to your county office. I don't have any extra silver." Qingqing's big complaint, it really takes silver everywhere.

"Sister, don't worry. You eat first, and then I'll go to the New Year with the county lord. I've got a gift ready." Zhang Xiang patted Qingqing's shoulder.

"You? What good gifts can you prepare? The prefect is a great official who has seen the world." Shi Yu looked at Zhang Xiang with disdain, he used to be afraid of Qingqing and Zhang Xiang, but now he has the confidence to not let Zhang Xiang.

"Believe it or not, I smoke you? You dog officer!" Zhang Xiang slapped his chopsticks on the table, staring at Shi Yu, he found that this county official wanted to rebel, of course, it was only Zhang Xiang who thought so.

"Don't make any noise. I'm dying of annoyance. I'll go with Shi Yu in a while, and I'll go as his cousin. The New Year's greetings must be brought with the family, how can you bring your subordinates? Brother, you and your mother have a good rest at home. We will be back soon." Qingqing thought that her arrangement was very reasonable, and Zhang Xiangbai glanced at her and got up to leave. Yin Jiangzi shook his head and left.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Qingqing looked at Shi Yu aggrievedly, and Shi Yu touched her head: "You're not wrong. It's Zhang Xiang who is making trouble unreasonably. Do as you say, good!"
