Chapter 308(2/2)

"Is that enough?!"

Wu raised her eyebrows and said exaggeratedly: "It's a full seven thousand taels of silver!"

When she said this, she couldn't close her mouth with joy.

We can't blame the Wu family for being so greedy for money. The Shi family has a smooth appearance, but a while ago, Shi Nai spent all his family wealth on various social projects in order to find a good job, and even owed a lot of favors to foreigners and was at a loss.

I originally thought that with his title, as long as he filled the vacancy, he would definitely be an important official in the province, and he would not have to wait to take office. The confidants of the gentry in the province who were placed in the guild hall in the capital would naturally send free money to his door.

But who would have thought that he had somehow become the ambassador to Europe? How could there be any gentry in such a useless place, and how could he have a guild in Beijing?

This bet really cost my wife and my army!

The fault was that I had received support from Jia Zheng a while ago and could hardly even make the money.

However, Shi Nai had enough money to go on the road, but after he went to the ocean, how would the old, weak, women and children of the family, who had lost the backbone of their family, rely on for a living?

For this reason, the couple was so worried that they couldn't sleep all day long, and their eyes were all red. They looked like fat sheep that deserved to be slaughtered!

The reason why he decided to marry his niece to Jiao Shun was because he thought he was from a humble background and wanted to be a high-ranking prince. Naturally, he could only give more betrothal gifts and less dowry.

But I never expected that Jiao Shun would make such a generous move!

The dividend of seven thousand taels a year is more than the total income of the Baolinghou Mansion!

If we can get this money - even half of it, the couple will no longer have to worry about their livelihood!

but……

However, this money was not given to the Baolinghou Mansion, but was placed specifically in Shi Xiangyun's name.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Mrs. Wu lowered her stature and knelt down to her niece, who had always been regarded as a thorn in her side.

After saying all the good things, she finally said: "You know the situation at home. Your uncle and I will not let you have this money. We are just using it temporarily for emergencies until your uncle comes back from Wuxi Country."

, I will naturally make up for what I owe you."

Shi Xiangyun also panicked for a moment.

She is not as rich and idle as Jia Baoyu, and has almost no idea about the amount of money.

She clearly knows what these seven thousand taels of silver mean to herself and to the current Baolinghou Mansion!

But because of this, she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

If there was only the Wu family in this mansion, she would probably refuse without even thinking about it, but there are also her brothers and sisters in this mansion, as well as the maids and wet nurses who have been with her since she was a child...

But she also values ​​love and justice.

After much hesitation, he had to say: "Theoretically, it is right for me to give all my money to support my family, but after all... Auntie, please wait for a few days, and when I return to Rongguo Mansion, I will ask Sister Xing to ask where he is."

What kind of regulations are these? Otherwise, if they are handled in a haphazard manner, what should I do if people ask?"

Wu couldn't find fault with this.

Of course she wished she could just swallow the money, but Jiao Shun was not jealous now, not to mention it would hinder the face of Jia Zheng and Shenwu General Feng Tang.

So he had to force a smile and say: "It should be so, it should be so!"

After a pause, he asked suspiciously: "Who is this Sister Xing you are talking about?"

After Xiangyun introduced Xing Xiuyan's identity, Wu suddenly became vigilant and said: "If she gives birth to a son, how can she be willing to be with us in the future? You'd better be on guard, and you'd better have an interview with Brother Shun.
