Yu Wenmin raised his head and said with a smile: "Mother's arrangement is really perfect. It is generous and generous, and the Xuan Houfu's magnanimity is perfectly grasped. The appearance of our Houfu again should be refreshing to everyone!"
"Since the banquet and wine matters have to be handed over to the daughter-in-law, she will take over the responsibility. I don't know how many banquets and jars of wine my mother will order. There are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone knows that Yunlailou It’s impossible to book a large number of seats without booking them one month in advance.”
"I made the reservation a few days in advance. I must have given up the favor to be able to make the reservation. Forget the favor, my mother has to give me the money first. After all, I still have to pay a deposit!"
After a pause, he then said: "Since I used favors, the tables must be arranged, so I'll book a table for two thousand taels. According to the number of people my mother placed, there must be at least thirty or forty tables." People, but that day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and some people may not be able to come, so we have to prepare about 20 tables even at half the price!"
"Calculating this way, the banquet will cost 40,000 taels of silver, and then prepare at least two jars of wine for each table. For a banquet of 2,000 taels, you must match at least 500 taels of wine for each jar. Two jars for a table means 1,000 taels. The total money for noodles and wine is 60,000 taels, mother, have you prepared the money?"
"Maybe I can withdraw it directly from the cashier?"
Madam Hou's expression suddenly turned ugly as if she had swallowed a fly: "You need to pay for your money first. After the banquet is over, mother will not miss you a copper penny. Preparing clothes and jewelry for the banquet is another expense at home. If you have money, just pay it first." Stay!"
Yu Wenmin raised his head and smiled: "Mother, my money is my dowry. It doesn't sound good for such a big prince to use his wife's dowry. Others think that the Xuanhou Mansion is so poor that it relies on soft food. It’s reached this point!”
