Chapter 174: Fundraising (Part II)
Wu Qi first went to visit Bai Li, Bai Li's delivery date was approaching, at this time he couldn't walk, he could only rely on the assistance of others to do some necessary activities every day, he couldn't move, but his concern for Wu Qi was even more than before, there was a meaning of explaining the aftermath in and out of the words, so that Wu Qi didn't dare to stay for a long time and escaped, he was afraid that he would not be able to cry if he stayed any longer.
I also looked at Ouyang Soul by the way, Ouyang's mental situation is better, at least he can move on his own, probably because of the child, when Wu Qi came to see her easily, she didn't show her previous boredom, and she would be patient to deal with Wu Qi for a while, but Wu Qi didn't have the slightest feeling when facing Bai Li in his heart.
It happened that Ouyang Xinfei came over to deliver something to her sister, Ouyang touched her stomach and said, "Feifei, come here, the prince is coming to you, you go out for a walk." Wu Qi did mean to find Ouyang Xinfei, but he didn't tell Ouyang Xinfei, now that Ouyang Xinxin is smart, Wu Qi felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Ouyang Xinfei is not as tall as her sister, and the two of them are the most suitable when they walk together. The two of them held hands and walked on the road, Wu Qi said: "Fei Fei, are you still used to being here?" I have been busy all this time, and I don't have time to get close to you, you won't be unhappy." ”
Ouyang Xinfei was flattered, no wonder, the first time the two met, Wu Qi not only killed her cousin, but also hung her for a day and a night, and later after marrying, except for the initial simple nod of politeness and appeasement, Wu Qi almost never came to see her, let alone stayed alone with her, and every time they met inadvertently, they didn't have a good face.
Ouyang Xinfei said happily: "Lord, after the concubine came here, the old lady was kind to me, and praised the concubine for being knowledgeable, the prince knew in his heart that the concubine was a good concubine, and the concubine who was rewarded last time was really ashamed, and the concubine has never had a chance to thank her, for so long, the concubine has not fulfilled her duties as a woman." Her eyes were a little moist, and Wu Qi reached out to wipe them gently for her. Speaking of Zhuyan Dan, that is, Time Pill, Wu Qi was really a little ashamed in his heart, after finding out that there were only five of them, Wu Qi also had a headache, and finally thought about it and gave it to Mrs. Li, Bai Li, Situ Wei, Ouyang Mind, Orchid and others, there is no share of other people at all, there is no need to think about it here, eighty percent is Ouyang Soul or her mother has given her her share, Wu Qi is not good to ask, and he feels that it is really not good to misunderstand people for no reason, and he is a little embarrassed in his heart.
Although the two are husband and wife, they are not very familiar with each other, and they hate Wu and Wu, because Ouyang's relationship with her sister Wu Qi is not very very good. Ouyang Xinfei is actually not bad looking, and her background is also noble, you must know that people have investigated Wu Qi long before the marriage, and know that he is a hob meat that judges people by their appearance, and most of the eyes of the family are not here from the light of the young lady, so people are a little inferior, but fortunately, people are not psychologically distorted, and they are rarely more gentle in dealing with people, and Ouyang Xinfei is not low in knowledge, knowledgeable, and gentle in personality, in fact, she is a very good girl.
Coming to the side house not far away, Ouyang Xinfei's residence, the unique fragrance of the girl's boudoir makes people feel comfortable, although the space is not large, but the various poisons are neatly placed and orderly. There was a small dining table in the middle, Wu Qi sat down, Ouyang Xinfei was going to make tea, Wu Qi grabbed her, Ouyang Xinfei Xiafei flew her cheeks, and had no choice but to send her personal maid Xue'er to prepare water tea, and then looked left and right and finally sat on Wu Qi's lap with a red face. Ouyang Xinfei usually goes next door to visit her sister when she has nothing to do, and her heart is still pounding. The little hands are snow-white and the five fingers are slender, and the fingertips are staggered with different colors of armor, which looks beautiful, Wu Qi stroked it gently, frowning and thinking about how to speak, and Ouyang Xinfei's pretty face became more and more red.
"It's been a few days since you got married, and I blame me for not thinking it through, and I realized that you moved in with me, and the cramped space here is really not suitable for your identity. Wu Qi seemed to have something in his words, implying a deep meaning.
Ouyang Xinfei's tone was a little trembling, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, after all, she was still a secular girl, if this matter was left to her sister, she would not have this reaction, her sharp chin against her chest whispered: "Lord Wang, in fact, it's nothing small in the room, I used to be very lonely in a big house, but now it's okay, I can talk to my sister when I have nothing to do, it's actually really good." Secretly looked at Wu Qi's face, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly said: "But the prince is busy with affairs, and the concubine should indeed serve closely, and the concubine will let people sort it out, and keep the news of the prince at any time." ”
Of course, Wu Qi didn't really want Ouyang Xinfei to move over, after all, he had an identity, and it would definitely be inconvenient to move over. Wu Qi hurriedly said: "Well, look at your nails are really good-looking, where did you buy nail color?"
Ouyang Xinfei smiled and said, "Lord Wang...... This was still brought from Chaoge, and at that time dozens of boxes were brought by all kinds of people, and some were given to the other sisters, and now there are some, if the prince likes it, he can take it and reward his descendants. ”
After talking for a long time, Wu Qi was a little depressed.
Wu Qi, a big man, doesn't have the heart to keep talking to people, and after a polite greeting, he immediately began to go straight to the topic, "Well, by the way, I have found some interesting things in the past few days, low investment and high return, but these days my dad is a little tight, and he doesn't have much capital in his hand, so it's very difficult to do......" While casually pretending to be gaffe, he peeked at Ouyang Xinfei.
Ouyang Xinfei is not a fool, a mother and sister can become the pride of the sky, rest the art of cultivating immortals, how bad can the sister be? After a while, the snow-white pair of Hao wrists took out a small box and held it in front of Wu Qi's eyes, "When the slave family came from her mother's house, the mother prepared these, except for some usual expenses, the rest is here, although the prince takes it, if it is not enough, the slave family still has some jewelry......"
Wu Qi's face was a little unbearable, originally he didn't plan to open his mouth with these people, but the time was urgent, and he had to keep it secret from Bai Li, yesterday the flower doctor sent a message, where to get 500,000 gold coins in such a tight time?
I breathed a sigh of relief, but also with a faint expectation, the box was heavy, and I don't know how much amethyst is here, I think it should be almost half, I remember that the gift list seemed to say that there were more than 300,000 gold coins, and the big lady is still a little beneficial, and there is no expense without leaving home all day long, there should be a lot of money here.
When he opened the box, Wu Qi was dumbfounded, and reached in for a while, stirring and churning, only to see that there were some gold coins in the box, which was a few hundred gold coins when roughly calculated, and he couldn't bear it at this moment, "Well, why is this money? What about your dowry? Where did you spend all those gold coins?"
Ouyang Xinfei is very innocent, "It's all here, there is everything at home, and the concubine doesn't usually spend much money, ah, by the way, Sister Qin took the money away a few days ago, saying that she almost had money because of something...... "The stupid girl is automatically called sister, the elder and the young are respectful, how can she be willing to be small casually."
What else can Wu Qi say, he can only go to the next one, the maid came back with tea, just in time for Wu Qi to go out angrily, so frightened that he quickly hid to the side, looking at Wu Qi and stunned to the side.
The wing rooms were built in rows around the main room, and when she came out, she turned a corner and entered Situ Wei's room, Situ Wei's house conditions were not very good, Wu Qi remembered it clearly, because she didn't bring much money when she came, but there were tens of thousands of gold coins. Situ Wei met him in a bad fate, and later married him and lowered his eyebrows, Wu Qi was sorry and did not wronged her, the three newlywed wives Wu Qi was the best for her, which can be seen from the configuration of the subordinates, the others only have two subordinates, and Wu Qi arranged two female slaves for her alone.
Knowing that Wu Qi likes to drink tea, Situ Wei was busy asking someone to make tea, which saved trouble, and it happened that someone had just boiled the water and not used it up, so he brought it over and poured it for Wu Qi.
I didn't come here to drink tea, and both of them are old husbands and wives, Wu Qi got straight to the point, Miss Situ Wei used to concentrate on fairy law, and now she wants to teach her husband and children, and she has no concept of money at all. Before Wu Qi had time to sigh in his heart, he got an equally bad result - there was also not a few money left in the small box, and after asking, the reason was the same, it was all borrowed by Qin Yuanshu.
This time Wu Qi didn't have a temper, Situ Wei used to be the eldest lady, but now they all whispered to flattering him, he could only say that it was okay, and persuaded Situ Wei not to be careful.
Finally, I went to find Qin Yuanshu, the space here is unchanged from the previous two, it is not small compared to the residence of ordinary people, but there is still a big gap with the rich lady, compared with the first two, this place is more luxurious, and the furniture and curtains are of the highest quality. Qin Yuanshu happened to go out and was not in the room, Wu Qi was a little unhappy in his heart, but this time he didn't come for anything else, but to get money, and he had to endure it if he was emotional. Waiting left and right, after drinking two bowls of tea, he still didn't see anyone come back, and he had to endure the urge to urinate, Wu Qi's heart was even more uncomfortable.
The slave girl came in and refilled the water for the third time, carefully poured the water, and then bowed her body and retreated backwards to the door, Wu Qi shouted with a cold face: "Come back." ”
After looking at it carefully, he had no impression, thinking that it was a newly arranged maid, Wu Qi didn't think much about it and said, "Where is your young lady?" Forget it, you quickly go and call people back." "There is actually something wrong with this, if the Wu family arranges a subordinate, then you can only call the hostess a lady, but Wu Qi can be regarded as a crooked beating, this maid happened to be brought over by the Qin family. Qin Yuanshu originally had a personal maid named Xiaohua, who was very affectionate, but he died by chance when he was in the temporary camp, and he was red-eyed at the time, plus Wu Qi had forgotten about it for a long time, and he never dreamed that the slave girl in front of him was Xiaohua's good sister before.
Wu Qi's tone of voice was angry, and the slave girl didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ran away.
After another hour, Qin Yuanshu finally came back, her face was obviously in a hurry, and she obviously didn't dare to delay on the road. It is no wonder that in today's society, if a woman has disrespect for her husband, it is a major crime second only to disrespect to the emperor, and she must not only be severely punished by the law but also punished by morality.
It's not okay today, Wu Qi's patience has already reached the limit after waiting for a long time, and when he saw that the people were back, he said angrily: "The quality of these female slaves is getting lower and lower, and it took them so long to call people." On the surface, he was complaining that his subordinates were not doing things well, but in fact, he was saying that Qin Yuanshu couldn't escape the suspicion of being treated slowly.
This kind of reproach is not a trivial matter, you must know that the big business country is also the supremacy of male power, after getting married, the man can have a group of wives and concubines, and the woman must also be virtuous and respectful to her husband as a father.
Qin Yuanshu left in a hurry, she should be really thirsty, and the first thing she did when she came back was to drink water, and at this time, she didn't feel Wu Qi's anger, and she said: "The slave family went out today, not in the house, Xiaoyu is not very familiar with this place, and it took several tosses and turns to pass the news to the slave family, it is really not lazy, so don't blame her." By the way, the prince hurriedly called the slave family back, is there something wrong?"
Wu Qi endured it without having a seizure, and said directly, "There are some things on my side that are in a hurry to use money, give me as much as you have in your hand first, and I will return it to you later." ”
Qin Yuanshu didn't think much about it, and said with a smile to herself: "What did the prince say, isn't the concubine's money the prince's?
Wu Qi said: "What do you say, take out all the money, and ask so much for what?" Wu Qi is still waiting to meet with the flower doctor, how can there be any effort to delay here?
Qin Yuanshu finally heard the anger, and didn't dare to say any more, and took out a box. Wu Qi wanted to go and see it, but he couldn't help it, he drank too much tea, and he couldn't just go in and out. Wu Qi didn't have a convenience here, so he asked the maid to take it over, and when the water came out, Wu Qi turned his head and saw that the maid was several meters away from him, as if he was hiding from the plague, and his heart became more and more unhappy. What's the matter, that's how you serve people? I haven't seen such a low-quality female slave in so many years!
Back in the room, Wu Qi couldn't wait to open the box and look at it, and his face suddenly became the bottom of the pot.
"What's going on? What's the matter? Isn't that all the money for Vivi and Fei Fei with you?
"Yes, for so long, the prince has not had his own mansion, just some time ago there was a piece of land in the city to be auctioned, and the sisters thought about buying it to build a mansion for the prince, so the big guy cashed the money and took the land, and found a lot of craftsmen......"
Wu Qi interrupted Qin Yuanshu's tirade, "Well, don't talk about it so much, the price of land in Xiangyang City is cheap, and there was a riot a few days ago, and the price of land has dropped a lot, just buy it, the matter of building a mansion can be slowed down for a while, how much money do you have in your hand now and give it to me first, I have an urgent need." ”
Qin Yuanshu sighed in her heart, but her face was silent, and she said: "Lord Wang, in addition to the money for buying the land and the deposits and other expenses prepaid to the construction of the house, the yamen, and the relevant parties, the slave family still has 30,000 gold coins in his hand, all of which are in the box. ”
Thirty thousand gold coins have a fart use, Wu Qi suddenly became angry, "How did you do it, when the three of you came, it was written on the gift list that there were more than 3 million gold coins, why now I only have 30,000 gold coins left when I ask for money, do you have an opinion about me, so you deliberately hid the money and refused to take it out? Why are you such a calculating woman? You told me last time...... , are you all pretending?"
It's been a few months since I got married, Wu Qi hasn't had a big courtesy with her, this kind of thing is not good to say, Wu Qi still doesn't have his own mansion, so he has no choice but to live in Wu Kun's mansion temporarily, but even if Wu Kun doesn't come back in the future, but Wu Kun's prestige is there, it doesn't matter if he stays temporarily, as long as Wu Kun doesn't speak, there is nothing to do, and in the name of his brother, it is impossible for Wu Kun to be a high-ranking person still staring at this secular property, but the name of this mansion will not change, so as soon as Bai Li proposed, it was supported by everyone, why is it wrong nowQin Yuanshu wanted to cry aggrievedly, got up and walked to Wu Qi, squatted down and hugged Wu Qi's legs, and cried: "The prince really wronged the slave family, this matter was proposed by Sister Bai Li a few days ago, and then the old lady also agreed, considering the death deed of the mansion, the appreciation is small, the slave family originally did not agree, but Sister Bai Li and the old lady said that it was good, and the slave family was not easy to say!"
Wu Qi pushed Qin Yuanshu away, and said angrily: "Bai Li has a gentle temperament, she usually only embroiders and sews, where does she know anything about investment? Now that she is seriously pregnant, it is difficult to walk, how can you come to talk to you about things, let alone build a mansion! It is obvious that you are smart, and now you want to bite in order to shirk your responsibility, right? You are too disappointing, if you still want to be your Miss Qin, go back to Chaoge!" This can be described as quite unkind.
Wu Qi is also angry, Bai Li's life is in danger, even at this time, there are still people cursing her, if it weren't for the name of his wife, Wu Qi would definitely slap him at this time, and hit him with peach blossoms first! Wu Qi is like this, as soon as Bai Li is involved, it will immediately be like a different person.
