Xie Nuanyan held the bill and looked at each item carefully.
Shopkeeper Liao bent down slightly and waited by her side, ready for orders at any time.
Aunt Liang was furious when she saw it. She had never seen shopkeeper Liao treat her with such respect!
"Flower smoke phoenix tail skirt."
"Yun silk pearl embroidered shoes... Brocade inlaid fur cloak... Lan Yuan's green brocade long dress..."
Xie Nuanyan took a general look and saw that there were men's clothing and women's clothing on the bill, totaling twenty-eight sets. In addition to matching shoes and socks, he also ordered a set of valuable jewelry.
The total price is nearly thirty-seven thousand taels.
"Did Shopkeeper Liao make a mistake?"
She put down the list and said doubtfully: "I have never bought these things."
Shopkeeper Liao was stunned for a moment and quickly looked at Aunt Liang who was sitting across from her: "It was Aunt Liang who went to the store to order with this Miss Yun."
Aunt Liang felt a thud in her heart.
Xie Nuanyan, who had neglected the family for more than ten years, suddenly came out of the house.
Ye Jinxiao, who had been married for more than four months, showed off her power as soon as she came back.
Could it be that the mother and daughter were ventilated beforehand and didn't want to pay the bill?
He immediately said, "Sister, I don't know. It's cold and winter is coming, so I specially ordered thick clothes for the master and the old lady."
"The master gets up early every day to go to court. It's very cold in winter; the old lady is old and can't bear the cold, so she should wear thicker clothes."
"These are clothes to honor your husband and the old lady. Please return the money to the accountant quickly and pay the money first. If my sister wants to take over the power of the house, she will return it to you in two days."
What Aunt Liang said was very beautiful.
Honor your husband and your old lady.
If Xie Nuanyan doesn't give her money, she is unfilial, not a good wife, let alone a good daughter-in-law.
In front of outsiders, Xie Nuanyan definitely wanted to save face.
Xie Nuanyan chuckled: "My sister has this kind of heart. If the master and the old lady know, they will be very happy."
She returned the bill to Shopkeeper Liao.
"Shopkeeper Liao, since Aunt Liang wants to respect her filial piety, I will forgive her and go to her to get the money."
Aunt Liang was immediately stunned.
Ask her to withdraw money?
She is just a housewife, and she earns more than twenty taels of silver a month. Even if she is sold, she won't be able to get so much money.
Seeing Shopkeeper Liao walking towards her with a list, the expression on her face became a little unbearable:
"Sister, sister... I paid the money from the accounting office, but you took all the money from the accounting office. How do you want me to pay?"
Xie Nuanyan asked doubtfully:
"What I took was my own money."
"My father gives me 20,000 taels of pocket money every month, and he has never stopped for sixteen years. But when I went to the accounting office just now, I saw that there was only more than 50,000 taels left."
Ye Jinxiao turned his head and added in confusion: "Yes, mother, my grandpa gives me so much every month. After more than ten years, it has been at least four million taels of silver. Why are there only fifty thousand left?"
"Aunt Liang, how do you manage the house?"
Aunt Liang's expression changed in shock.
This this……
This money will naturally be used to give gifts to officials, smooth relationships, provide food and clothing for the whole family, and save some for private...
"Sister, I don't know. The fourth lady has gotten into a lot of trouble over the years and has lost a lot of money. After deducting some food and clothing expenses, that's all we have left."
Quickly push it onto Ye Jinxiao's head.
Xie Nuanyan knew exactly what kind of character Ye Jinxiao was.
"Oh." Xie Nuanyan responded, as if she believed it.
"It turns out Xiao'er spent it, so it's okay. I said, Master, I'll give you five hundred and two dollars a month. It should be easy to take care of such a small amount of money."
Shopkeeper Liao finally understood.
Taifu Ye's monthly salary was so small that it was not enough to buy a set of jewelry for Yipinxiu. However, Aunt Liang ordered twenty-eight sets of clothes and three sets of jewelry in one go. It turned out that all the money was spent on the Taifu's wife!
"Aunt Liang, please pay quickly!"
Those clothes and jewelry are specially customized and are worth a lot of money, so don’t default on them!
Aunt Liang's face turned green.
Where does that leave her to get the money?
For more than ten years, Xie Nuanyan's money has been spent. Xie Nuanyan suddenly stopped spending it on them. Wasn't this deliberately targeting them?
The Xie family is so rich that they don't lack eighteen thousand taels of Yipin embroidery.
Xie Nuanyan was clearly deliberately making things difficult for her!
"Old lady, look..."
The old lady frowned: "Nuan Yan, these winter clothes you ordered are all out of Aunt Liang's kindness. Why don't you pay the money quickly?"
Xie Nuanyan chuckled and said, "She has such good intentions, why does she want me to pay?"
"You and Aunt Liang are sisters, what's yours? What's mine? We are all one family, so naturally your money belongs to everyone."
The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law unhappily.
"Go and get the money quickly. Don't let outsiders see the joke. His Royal Highness Prince Yu is also here. Do you hope that Xiao'er's position as the principal concubine will not be secure?"
In the past, Xie Nuanyan's family had a lot of money, and as long as it was for the sake of her daughter, she would spend a lot of money without batting an eye.
But what her daughter said before made her wake up from a dream.
——Mom, the success or failure of Taifu Ye depends on you. You are the leader of this game. Why do you have to look at other people's faces and endure humiliation?
——Who said businessmen are inferior people?
——Mom, hold economic sovereignty in your hands. Then you can take a look again and see who is the inferior!
Xie Nuanyan spent money like water and never cared about this little money, but when she started thinking about it today, she realized that this family's food appearance was ugly.
They buy clothes, why should she pay?
Moreover, the clothes on this list belong to the master, the old lady, the three young masters, as well as Aunt Liang and Yun Weiwei, but there are no clothes and jewelry for her, so why should she pay the bill?
"The old lady is joking, haven't you spent all the dowry I brought when I married?"
"Later, 20,000 taels per month was the pocket money my father gave me alone. It was my own."
"You!" The old lady's face turned green.
What's going on with this Xie Nuanyan?
Did you take the wrong medicine today?
She didn't mind her status as a businesswoman and allowed her to marry into the Taifu's house and enjoy a happy life. Now she was just asked to get some money. Isn't she happy?
You must know that the noble status of the Taifu's wife cannot be bought with any amount of money!
Shopkeeper Liao was dumbfounded.
He looked at Mrs. Taifu, then at Aunt Liang, and then at the order in her hand.
Who should he ask for money?
If he is defeated and loses so much, he won't even be able to keep his job!
"Shopkeeper Liao." Ye Jinxiao said.
"Just now, Aunt Liang and the old lady said that it doesn't cost our Xie family a penny. The literati in Taifu's Mansion are proud and proud. Money can never insult them."
"Only we businessmen talk about money all day long. We are full of copper odor, vulgar and smelly."
"Surely, such a proud Chongwen family would not bother to seize my mother's pocket money. Naturally, they would not force my mother to use her own pocket money to pay for a large family. There should be no one in the world who is so thick-skinned."
old lady:"……"
Aunt Liang: "..."
Ye Yun envied Ye Muchen: "..."
Hearing this, shopkeeper Liao felt it made sense, nodded his head, and walked to Aunt Liang holding the bill.
"Aunt Liang, you placed this order. Please settle the bill quickly. I'm still waiting to get back to work."
Aunt Liang was petrified on the spot.
Oh my God!
Where would she get so much money?
Over the past ten years or so, she has become accustomed to spending Xie Nuanyan's money, and has developed a lavish character. She has secretly saved more than 8,000 taels of pension money, and there is absolutely no way she can take it out!
Shopkeeper Liao realized that the situation was wrong and his tone became cold:
"Aunt Liang, this is an order you placed personally. Could it be that you can't afford the payment? The Grand Tutor's Mansion wants to default on the bill!"
