Chapter 4 Seeing the Money
Early the next morning, when Wen Yukou was still freshening up in the room, a maidservant girl conveyed two important things through the curtain: first, the old lady invited the imperial doctor brought by the princess last time for her, and she was on her way; The second is that Mrs. Xie sent someone to send a set of glass-beaten dew removal equipment, hoping to compensate for the set that was broken by the subordinates before.
"Is it the imperial doctor who cured the eldest lady with one medicine last time? It seems that the old lady has already learned what happened last night, and is compensating our young lady. ”
"Xiyue, as long as you talk a lot, why don't you go and get Mrs. Xie's things in." Hua Yue said angrily, turned around and used small scissors to cut off the beautiful Sayuri, and pinned it on the hem of Wen Yukou.
Wen Yukou was putting her hand into the milk, the white and thick liquid water blended, her hand was completely immersed in it, her green and jade fingers naughtily tapped the water surface, and the white ripples rippled.
She was still preoccupied, thinking about Shuang'er's whereabouts. Early in the morning, Mama Gui has been asked to go out to find someone, if you can find it, it's best, if you can't find it, then it can only make the people behind the scenes continue to laugh for a while.
Xiyue came in with a tray, still chattering.
"This glazed flask is more beautiful and brilliant than the previous jade bottle, and it can preserve the freshness and beauty of the dew for up to two years, which is a good thing. Mrs. Xie is really generous, as soon as she took office, she couldn't wait to send things to our yard, as if she was afraid that Miss would not like it. Xiyue put the tray in front of Wen Yukou, holding her chin and staring at the glass bottle, her eyes dyed with colorful light.
Since she sincerely defended Wen Yukou yesterday, Wen Yukou greatly rewarded her and Fei Yue, and brought them up to be personal maids, serving her like Hua Yue.
Hua Yue was bending down to sort out the jade ring accessories around Wen Yukou's waist, and when she heard this, she seemed to remember something, and raised her head and said, "Speaking of Mrs. Xie, she sent someone to send a gift box yesterday, and I didn't say anything as Miss asked." The visitor didn't even drink his saliva, and left in a hurry, without waiting for me to get the reward. ”
Wen Yukou hummed twice, rinsed her mouth with green salt, drank a sip of red date lotus seed soup, and took a fragrant dragon in her mouth, and only after all the freshening was completed did she say to Hua Yue: "Take it and take a look." ”
Hua Yue took a boxy and heavy gift box, and the upper layer was a few cute water chestnuts, blue and white skin, with different shapes, and several maidservants liked it very much. Wen Yukou rewarded them, looked carefully for a while, and found that there were compartments and mechanisms in the middle of the box, which were very small, and when she reached out and pressed them, she only heard a "click", and the compartment sank, revealing the hollowed out bottom.
The maidservants' eyes widened.
"Wow-"
Silver.
Lots and lots of silver.
One ingot and one ingot are neatly stacked, the luster is delicate and clean, full of treasure, the silver is shining, there are fifty of them, and there are several large silver tickets pressed below. And when they were counted, five hundred pieces of silver, and five hundred silver tickets, a total of one thousand taels.
One thousand taels, they haven't seen so much money in more than ten years......
Feiyue and Xiyue wanted to cover their eyes but didn't dare to cover them, for fear of missing that brilliant and eternal light. It's unbelievable, but it's happening, right in front of you.
"My heart can't bear it, Feiyue, you can help me quickly, I've never seen so much silver in my life, I'm about to die of happiness......" Xiyue made a fainting look? Feiyue Porcelain really supported her, hating and angry: "The guy who sees the money, this is Miss's money, what does it have to do with you!" ”
"See...... There is a ...... in the audience" When Xiyue was about to argue, she saw Wen Yukou looking at herself with interest, and couldn't help but swallow the last word "share", and lowered her head silently.
"Those who see have a share, take as much as you like." Wen Yukou pushed the box towards them, except for Hua Yue, they were all surprised and delighted, but no one dared to move, except for Xi Yue, who took twenty taels.
Wen Yukou rewarded the others with two taels.
"You guys, you like money, but you don't dare to come out, so the reward is far less than the sunset." Wen Yukou said, and rewarded Huayue with fifty taels: "But with the sunset moon, it can't reach Huayue." You want a reward, but she doesn't want anything, but because she is in charge of money, what she gives her is not a reward, but a share. ”
Fei Yue didn't understand much, and Xiyue's eyes lit up: "Miss, I understand, those who can take the big head, and those who are wasted drive small profits." ”
Wen Yukou showed a smile of "the child can be taught", ordered to receive the box, and prepared a return gift: "Since you understand, you will send the return gift this time, and you will weigh it yourself as for what you say." ”
"Yes."
Wen Yukou went to visit Wen Chengying before the imperial doctor came, and the injuries suffered by his younger brother looked terrifying, but in fact, most of them were flesh wounds, plus it was a man, and he recovered quickly. Wen Yukou lifted his sleeves and collar and took a closer look, and saw that the bruises were about to disperse after applying the medicine, so she let go of half of her heart.
"Sister, why worry, I'm honest, it's not a problem to be beaten at all, I'm used to it." Wen Chengying is a young man, he takes Wen Yukou as the most important thing in everything, and he doesn't care about anything.
"There is no habit of being beaten." Wen Yukou looked at him and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't: "Chengying, if it weren't for you yesterday, I'm afraid my sister would be unable to escape, and maybe it would affect the Third Highness...... But only this time, I can't do such a stupid thing next time, I just need you to study well and protect you, and you don't have to pay attention to everything else. ”
Wen Chengying was still smiling: "I volunteered, sister." ”
"You ......" Wen Yukou was always so angry with this only brother that she couldn't cry or laugh.
Yesterday, long before the ward round, Wen Chengying had already gone to find Wen Yukou, worried that it would be dangerous for her not to return to the room so late, so he searched all the way. happened to see Wen Yukou being pressed on the mountain rock by the third prince Xiahou Shenxiao, and he was furious on the spot, and he was beaten up all the time. However, he was not Xiahou Shenxiao's opponent, and after a few moves, he was defeated. It was during this period of confrontation that Wen Yukou simply calculated and heard the movement of the pavilion over there in silence.
"No one thought that my father would suddenly return home, otherwise he would have found out the mastermind behind the scenes. Sister, Mrs. Dou has never relaxed her surveillance of us, and after suffering so many losses, should we make a little counterattack? ”
Looking at his younger brother's excited eyes, Wen Yukou looked at him left and right, and said, "Besides, you recuperate from your injuries first." By the way, Chenxing, why haven't you seen her all this time? ”
Chenxing is Wen Chengying's only servant girl who is willing to stay by his side, and the two have been masters and servants since childhood, and their relationship is extraordinary.
"She, she's been crying since I came back yesterday, and her eyes are swollen into peaches. As soon as I knew that Lu Dao was coming, I told her not to wait, so as not to surprise you......"
Wen Yukou coughed lightly twice, took a sip of the dragon well before the rain, moistened his throat, and then half helplessly and half complained: "Chengying, you elm pimple...... Forget it, let someone bring Chenxing over, I'm going to talk to her. ”
