"I told you I had no money."
Yu Jinxi knocked on the ledger, "The expenses of this mansion are too high, and we can't make ends meet every month. If we continue to be so extravagant, I'm afraid even Northwest Wind can't afford it. Besides, it's not that I'm driving away the old lady and your aunt, but even me." We have to leave together too.”
Gu Qiheng said, "That doesn't mean that even Chengxuan's wife has resigned. He still wants to study! If outsiders know about this, they will definitely think that you, the mistress, deliberately deprived your adopted son of your son, and then spread a reputation for being harsh and mean. Come on, it’s not good for you.”
"If I don't have money, I have no choice but to let others talk."
It doesn't matter who is nominated for her now. What she doesn't care about the most now is the reputation of so-called ethics. In her previous life, she cared too much, and as a result, the scumbag in front of her was killed.
Yu Jinxi added, "That master has to spend dozens of taels of silver every month. He has to have good food and accommodation. He has to provide bird's nests and shark's fins every day. The house used to be able to afford it. Now that the account is in such a loss, how can he still pay for it?" Can you afford it?”
"It's just a small matter if you don't have money in your account. Don't you still have..."
Gu Qiheng stopped abruptly, and Yu Jinxi stared at him and asked, "What else?"
Gu Qiheng took a breath and said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that Chengxuan is very good at studying. It would be a pity without his master's guidance."
Yu Jinxi asked back, "You are the number one scholar, so you can't teach?"
Gu Qiheng was speechless. Yu Jinxi looked at him deflated and sneered in his heart.
He was the number one scholar, but in the past few years, he had been obsessed with officialdom and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. He had long ago thrown into the dog's belly the knowledge he had studied so hard in his humble life. Where could he teach it?
And how could Gu Chengxuan have any talent? All his evil intentions were used in crooked ways. If she hadn't hired a famous teacher to teach her in his previous life and watched him review his lessons and practice hard day after day, how could he have become so good?
Yu Jinxi added, "Chengxuan is very talented, and you will definitely have no problem teaching him. Now there is a more difficult matter. The owner of the pawn shop will come to collect the house in a few days. You should think about how to settle this big family, right? "
"So anxious? Jinxi, what about you..."
Gu Qiheng spoke again, and Yu Jinxi took the initiative to say before he could finish, "I still have some expensive dowry, which is worth some money."
Seeing her mention this, Gu Qiheng's eyes instantly lit up.
Yu Jinxi could see clearly and said slowly, "It's just that my mother had people mark those things. Once she takes them, they will definitely be recognized. If they are sold rashly, others will know that our Gu family cannot make ends meet and relies on me." Selling dowries to make ends meet.”
"You have a good career now, and you don't want to be criticized, right?"
Gu Qiheng paused for a moment. He was now a popular figure in front of the Holy Emperor. If others knew that he had tampered with his wife's dowry, he might not just point out this matter, but he was afraid that someone with a heart would also make a copy of it.
Before Gu Qiheng could speak again, Yu Jinxi looked like he had a headache. Qingti walked in from the door at the right time and asked quickly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Jinxi groaned, "I have a severe headache. Help me to have a rest and make some medicine."
"Miss, you should go and rest quickly, otherwise you may faint again soon."
Qingti quickly helped Yu Jinxi away, but Gu Qiheng didn't even say a word, let alone get any benefits.
At that moment, I could only leave angrily.
As soon as he left, Yu Jinxi's head stopped hurting instantly.
When Qingti saw him leaving, she didn't even say a word of concern, and her face didn't look good. "Miss, what do you want to do?"
Yu Jinxi snorted and said coldly, "What do you want to do? You want to sell my valuable dowry to maintain the dignity of his Gu family."
"How shameless." Qingti's eyes widened and she couldn't help but cursed angrily.
In the past, she only thought that the master was not good to the young lady, but she did not expect that he, a scholar, would be so shameless and wanted to sell the young lady's dowry.
He was also dissatisfied and went to the capital to inquire. Which husband would want to give his wife a dowry? Even a wild man from a mountain village would not do such a shameless thing.
Gu Qiheng is so shameless!
Yu Jinxi laughed self-deprecatingly. It's a pity that she actually did this in her previous life. She suffered a loss on her books and her family had no money to bring in. Every day, the old lady, Hua Niu and others ate delicacies from all over the world, and wore all kinds of silks and satins. .
In order to maintain the dignity of the Gu family, she actually listened to Gu Qiheng's words and sold the dowry. In order to avoid being discovered, she specially had those traces destroyed and sold them at half the price.
She had raised the cruel people in the Gu family to be fat and strong, but she was the only one who was haggard and thinner than a yellow flower.
But now, they can no longer eat a penny of her food, and they have to spit out the money they spent before.
Qingti glanced outside and whispered, "The shopkeepers haven't left yet, what do you plan to do with them?"
Yu Jinxi thought for a while and then said, "Let me give you a warning first, and wait until Dashan brings the people back from my hometown before dealing with them."
Counting the time, Chu Dashan will be back soon.
Moreover, the purpose of calling them here today was not to deal with it immediately, but to let Gu Qiheng know something was wrong. If he didn't hurry up, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
She wanted him to jump over the wall in a hurry, but she took advantage of him and made him restricted every step of the way.
Yu Jinxi asked Qingti to find another little girl who was cleaning the backyard. When she was selling girls in the morning, she kept this girl.
Now she is only surrounded by Qingti and two women who came from her hometown. The two women are familiar and can only do things inside. The little girl is unfamiliar, but she can do other things.
The little girl's name is Chunya. She was bought by someone from the backyard who used power for personal gain. They paid a large price, but they bought a worthless little girl, and all the money was hidden.
Chun Ya was too young to do anything, so those people sent her to the kitchen to serve the maid. In her previous life, she remembered her kindness because of a small thing, but because she was protecting her last dignity. , was kicked out by Gu Chengxuan.
At this time, Chunya was only in her teens, with a thin and pointed face, and only a pair of big, clever eyes.
Qingti looked Chun Ya up and down, her eyes full of helplessness, "Miss, what can this girl do at such a young age? You have to do something, I'll find an older girl."
"There's no need to buy it separately. Isn't there an escort outside? Spend a few bucks and send her to learn some boxing and kicking skills, and you can look after me by the way."
Yu Jinxi pulled Chun Ya in front of him and asked softly, "Learning kung fu is very hard, is Chun Ya willing?"
Chunya never expected that such a good thing would happen to her. She was originally the daughter of the owner of a martial arts gym. Unfortunately, her father disappeared, the martial arts gym was sold by her stepmother, and she was also sold as a maid.
At first she thought that her master wanted to sell her out when she came.
"I am willing. Chun Ya will study hard. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it well. I will definitely not let you down."
Chun Ya's eyes were shining brightly. At this moment, her life seemed to be restarted.
