Chapter 183: What about sending Hanako?
Compared with Chao Wan's disbelief, Chao Li seemed very indifferent, after all, she also knew the old lady Chao, and it was relatively easy to accept, not to mention that she had been mentally prepared before coming here.
The old lady's words have two meanings, one is to get the money from Chao Li, and the other is to remind Chao Lu about taking three thousand taels and how things are going.
If the old lady Chao can't get a result here in Chaoli, then Chaolu will definitely come to ask her in person.
"What does grandmother mean?" Chao Li asked knowingly.
Seeing that Chao Li didn't understand what she meant, the old lady Chao's face was slightly gloomy, and her expression was also a little displeased.
I knew that this girl was stupid, and she couldn't understand these words.
"Big girl, now there is a shortage of money in the mansion, and you are living so well in the Hou mansion, you can't see your grandmother and younger brothers and sisters starving, right?" The old lady said it implicitly.
Hearing this, Chao Li's eyes widened, and he looked at the old lady with a puzzled face.
What did grandmother mean by that? Could it be that our court has no way to open the pot? If so, then I should indeed say so. It just so happens that I have twenty taels of silver here, which should be enough for a month's expenses in the house, why don't grandmothers take it for emergency first? "Towards the road.
Chaoheng was the first to hold his breath, "Twenty taels? What about you sending Hanako? Two hundred taels a month in our house is not enough, don't say you are twenty taels. The princess of the Beihou Mansion in the dignified town only has twenty taels of silver, who will believe it? If you don't want to subsidize Fuzhong, you just say it, why are you so sarcastic about us? ”
Originally, Chao Heng came here to see if he could get some silver money from Chao Li.
In the past, Chaoheng never put Chaoli in his eyes.
Before she got married, Chaoli had always responded to Chao Heng's needs, and she also knew that she had to be better to her younger brother, and the court would always be inherited by Chao Heng in the future.
If the married daughter does not have the support of her mother's family, she will not have a good life in her in-law's family.
It is also for this reason that Chao Heng feels that Chao Li should also offer him everywhere.
But I never thought that today's Chaoli would change his attitude from the past.
Just twenty taels?
Twenty taels of him went out for a meal, and a day of fun was not enough!
The old lady's face was not good-looking, but she still remembered Chaolu's advice and tried her best to make a pleasant appearance.
"You girl, why are you still playing such a joke with your grandmother, don't listen to your brother's temper, he is also in a hurry. You know, it's about to be spring, and your brother will have to spend even more, and it's hard to make ends meet. Seeing that Chao Li didn't have any displeased looks, the old lady Chao continued, "I know that you are also embarrassed by the mansion, but how can you be in the Hou Mansion, even if it is face-saving, the prince and the princess will not embarrass you." Now that the court is in some difficulty, your second sister is about to get married, and there are a lot of places to spend money, so my grandmother came to ask you, why don't you contribute to Zhen'er's marriage? ”
Oh, it turned out that I wanted her to pay for Chaozhen's marriage.
"What Grandmother said is, how much effort do I need to contribute?" Chao Li asked rhetorically.
When the old lady heard it, she felt that there was a play, "Actually, it's not too difficult for you, a thousand taels is about the same." ”
One thousand taels?
Isn't this embarrassing?
Chao Li chuckled, the old lady Chao really spoke, she really treated herself as a dish.
"Grandmother is afraid that she is joking with me, and my monthly routine in the Hou Mansion is only fifty taels. When the second sister got married, my grandmother opened her mouth to be a thousand taels, so she couldn't help but think too highly of me. I'm really sorry, I don't have so much money, or let my second sister wait for me for four or five years. Chaoli replied lightly.
It's not that I don't really have it, but I don't want to give it.
This time, the old lady changed her face.
"Big girl, you're a bit too much, you are obviously rich but you are unwilling to supply the house. It's not that I won't give it back to you, when your brother becomes the champion in high school and has an official position, it's only a thousand taels, and your grandmother won't be stingy with you. He said to the old lady with a calm face.
"Grandmother, granddaughter doesn't." Chao Li's expression was still indifferent.
When it comes to this, the old lady has already seen that Chao Li has no intention of giving money, and twenty taels is just like Chao Heng said.
She has already inquired, Chaoli is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, not to mention the emperor's reward, and the silver in her hand will definitely not be less.
misses her grandmother, but this girl is not even willing to give a thousand taels, which is really unfilial.
"Grandmother, forget it, now that the eldest sister has married into the high gate, she is no longer the eldest sister we are familiar with, and she has long looked down on us." Chaoheng Yin and Yang spoke strangely.
Hearing this, the old lady's face became more and more ugly.
Chaoli suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect to give me such a lot of fun when I went back home today, and I didn't come in vain." ”
"Chao Li, what do you mean by this!" Chao Heng snorted coldly.
"It's really funny, two people asked me what I mean today, why so many people can't understand the words? My meaning is very simple, you are singing, sing to me. Chao Li smiled gently.
As soon as these words came out, the old lady Chao only felt a wave of anger rushing towards the Tianling Gai.
And Chao Heng was even more angry, his eyes were red, if he didn't still have some reason in his body, he might have already made a move on Chao Li.
"Presumptuous! Big girl, how do you talk! Today I have kind words for you, and you are so disrespectful to me, so I am not afraid that I will spread this matter and make you lose face! The old lady was so angry that her chest rose and fell.
"If Grandmother wants to spread it, then spread it, and I will not be afraid. I want to know what kind of expression it would be for others to know that the grandmother asked for money for the granddaughter she married, and threatened the granddaughter with it? Tut-tut, do you mean that my grandmother is brazen, or that I am not filial? Didn't grandmother forget, I have married to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and now I have the word 'Gu' on my head, and I am no longer from the Chaofu? Oh, too, my grandmother is old, and she may not remember these things, and she thinks that she is an old lady who can climb on my head and make a fortune. If your grandmother really doesn't have any money, I suggest that you take the big gold chain around your neck and exchange it for a lot of money. ”
After Chao Li finished speaking with a smile, the old lady was so angry that she leaned back and almost fainted.
Chao Wan was stunned on the side, and felt more and more that she had a good life with her eldest sister, and looked at this mouth, she really didn't let her grandmother get half a penny.
Well, I have to learn from the eldest sister.
"You, you unfilial thing, I know you're a white-eyed wolf! The court raised you as an adult, and you repaid us like this, and now seeing that the court has no money, you are not even willing to give a little! The old lady pointed to the road.
Chao Li's smile remained unchanged, and he felt that the old lady Chao had not learned to be well-behaved, and she should add another fire.
