Cui Yunfeng didn't even know how he got into Yannianyuan.
Mrs. Du came in one step after him, and when she saw Cui Yunfeng's dejected look, she quickly turned away the servants and said comfortingly: "Son, don't worry, we don't have a chance this time, but we will have a chance next time!"
Cui Yunfeng opened his eyes and finally regained some sense: "The original plan was foolproof, and Master Huiyuan assisted in advance. Why did things develop to this point?"
With Master Huiyuan's help, Bai Qingqing can't even get in, what about next time?
What excuse is he going to make, what reason is he arranging?
Cui Yunfeng suddenly realized that it would not be easy for Qing'er to enter the house.
"Qing'er was kicked again today. She must be in great pain now. No, I want to see her. Otherwise she will blame me." Cui Yunfeng looked out the door with a disappointed look, stood up and left.
He ran faster than a rabbit and never paid attention to Du Shi from beginning to end.
When Mrs. Du saw Cui Yunfeng disappear in front of her eyes, she was so angry that the fire in her chest could not be used.
When the mother-in-law talked to him, he not only refused to reply, he even refused to call her mother-in-law, and left as soon as he said so. How could he take her, the mother-in-law, seriously.
This is simply unreasonable.
But her mother loved her son, and Mrs. Du would not really blame her son. What she wanted to blame was the culprit who made her son look down on her, Bai Qingqing.
"Madam, you have tea." Seeing that the eldest young master had left, Aunt Chun came in with the brewed tea. As soon as she came in, she saw Du sitting there with an ugly face, as if her face was knotted.
Mrs. Du took a sip of the hot tea, and the rich fragrance relieved her depression a lot.
"Ah Chun, tell me, if your son likes a girl very much, likes her like his own eyes, is completely obedient to her, and would not marry her unless she is her, would you like such a daughter-in-law?"
Aunt Chun weighed Du's meaning and added some of her own.
"In my opinion, this kind of daughter-in-law is neither good nor bad."
"What's so good about it?"
"Fortunately, my son has someone he likes and listens to her words. My son will have someone who can control him in the future."
"What's wrong?"
"If a son marries someone he really likes, then this son will be born to someone else." Aunt Chun sighed: "Actually, we mothers are also happy to see our son happy. But we have raised him for more than ten years. Everyone knows how you feel when your son suddenly refuses to kiss you and kisses another woman. But madam, don’t worry. The young master still has madam in his heart, and it will remain the same in the future."
This is the advantage of marrying a woman you don't like. You still put your mother first at all times.
Du Shi took another sip of tea, her eyes flickering.
In Ningyuan.
Xu Wanning also took a sip of tea, lay in the rocking chair, and turned a page of the book.
"When this wave of tea leaves is finished, Hongmei, the tea leaves you bought will be sent over."
The Xu family's tea is delivered in advance every quarter, and Xu Wanning does not plan to distribute it to others this time.
"Yes, I remember this."
"Besides tea, what else does the Marquis spend my money on?"
Hongmei remembers, "Three meals a day, each master has six dishes and one soup, and every meal must have fish, meat and shrimp, and the same cannot be repeated for half a month. About seven hundred taels per month."
Six dishes and one soup, no matter how much you eat, most of it is wasted.
"There are also supplements for each master. The Marquis and the young master eat ginseng and cordyceps, one cup a day. In addition, they have to drink a bowl of deer blood every week."
A bowl of deer blood every week?
Xu Wanning almost laughed out loud.
She paid Cui Yunfeng to replenish her kidneys, strengthen her yang, and strengthen her essence, and then she showed off her power to Bai Yueguang seven times a night?
"The madam eats bird's nest and shark's fin, two cups in the morning and evening. The young master is still young, so he only eats a bowl of bird's nest or shark's fin every three days. The supplement alone costs eight hundred taels per month."
"Any more?"
"Yes. Each master's clothes and accessories, as well as the madam's various skin care products, cost about three thousand taels per quarter."
Seven hundred plus eight hundred plus one thousand, these will be 2,500 taels per month, or 30,000 taels a year.
Six years after she married into the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, she spent only 70,000 taels of silver, and most of the treasures she had given as a dowry were gone. Otherwise, just because the Hou Mansion uses it like this, sooner or later the gold and silver will be emptied out.
"Except for the tea that comes from our family, the shops where we buy these things have been decided long ago. Every quarter, these shopkeepers will come to deliver the bills. The Marquis only needs to pay."
Xu Wanning pushed the rocking chair, and she also rocked it.
Inertia caused the rocking chair to rock four or five times before it stopped rocking and froze. Xu Wanning also revealed her plan.
"What you used in the Hou Mansion can be used in the future. It's just a bill. You can't take it anymore."
"yes."
Let's see where the money comes from if the Hou Mansion wants to continue to maintain the glory of burning oil.
Seven thousand five hundred taels per quarter, haha, Xu Wanning sneered again and again.
Hou Mansion, what a big appetite!
After Cui Yunfeng left the Hou Mansion, he did not go to the other courtyard immediately, but went to the jewelry shop first.
This jewelry shop called Duobaolou has novel styles and exquisite workmanship. It is the best jewelry shop in Yancheng, and the price is also the most expensive. Houfu is one of the best in Yancheng, so Duobaolou is naturally the shop. guest.
Naturally, the guests were specially received by the shopkeeper. They entered the elegant room, had fine tea, and took out the latest and most expensive jewelry, which was specially introduced by the shopkeeper.
Cui Yunfeng finally chose a phoenix hairpin made of pure gold.
There are several tassels on the tail of the phoenix hairpin made of millet grains forged from gold. I imagine Bai Qingqing wearing this phoenix hairpin. As she swayed, the tassels also trembled and trembled. Cui Yunfeng felt excited and impatient. .
"That's it." Cui Yunfeng took the packaged gold hairpin and walked out of Duobao Building happily.
There was no mention of payment, let alone the price.
"Sir, go slowly." The shopkeeper nodded and bowed and sent the person to the door. He didn't go in until the person was gone: "It will be recorded in the account of Chengyang Marquis Mansion. It's the end of this month and the end of the season. I'm going to ask for the money."
The accountant took out the Chengyang Houfu's special book and wrote down the price of Fengchai. After writing it down, he flipped through it again and said, "Shopkeeper, the Houfu bought a lot of things from us this quarter, especially the Young Master, the things you got from us are all good things, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver."
"What are you afraid of?" The shopkeeper smiled and said: "That is the Marquis of Chengyang, the largest noble after King Yan. Are you afraid that the Marquis will rely on us for these ten thousand taels of silver?"
Mr. Hou is shameless!
"I'm worrying too much."
The accountant smiled and closed the ledger.
Cui Yunfeng carried the gift and walked to the other courtyard after coming out of Duobao Building. He didn't know kung fu and his acuity was low, so he naturally didn't notice that there was a young man behind him who followed him unhurriedly.
Until Cui Yunfeng arrived at the other courtyard and knocked on the door.
After a while, a maid came over and opened the door. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried: "Young master, you are here. The young lady is going to be blind from crying."
"Qing'er." Cui Yunfeng felt distressed and rushed in in a panic.
Chen Wang, who was following behind, looked at this scene in shock.
Young Master, this is...
Keeping a foreign wife behind your back?
Why did Chen Yuan never mention it?
