Although Mr. Tong had a smile on his face, he frowned as he looked at the people coming and going and the bustling scene, like a burning fire cooking oil and flowers decorating the scenery, feeling that things were not simple.

In particular, many of the dishes served during the banquet are well-known and valuable. If you put them in a restaurant, you probably wouldn't need ten taels per table. This table of seventy taels would cost 700 taels of silver, not counting the drinks.

Everyone should know that, especially if a man drinks until he is happy, the drink is far more valuable than the food and rice.

This was just the money for the table, plus the Sizhu Nuxian opera singer invited many people to use the one-meter-high walls of the inner and outer courtyards to build a stage. It had been two hours, and there was no repeat of the show.

Coupled with the layout of the shack, the flowers and fruits that can be seen everywhere, and the new clothes for everyone, today's banquet will probably cost at least three thousand taels.

Three thousand taels, that's about the amount Beijing City gives to my old house for a year. I didn't expect my wife to be able to spend so much money to treat guests?

This was his rough calculation. His eldest son had a treat. There were nearly thirty tables of guests inside and outside, which almost cost him more than two thousand taels of silver. Now there are seventy tables. You need to know the owner of the seventy tables.

This means that there are at least one or two hundred servants, and they must be entertained at least.

There was also money spent, but Xu even couldn’t tell. He said he spent five thousand taels today, and Mrs. Tong believed it.

Mr. Tong felt uneasy. If he hadn't been at the banquet, he would have asked the housekeeper to check the account. Would he have to pay for his personal money again?

However, he probably wouldn't be able to do it if he didn't pay for it. His wife is not a woman who can spoil her husband.

Although this is a happy event for my grandson, all the gifts are in the public account.

He also had the public account records checked, and they were flawless. There were only a few hundred taels of silver in the accounts. Where did the money come from today?!

Mrs. Tong will tell him that she got it by selling her property.

Now she will slowly sell off all the family property on the surface. Anyway, her grandson is promising and will definitely go to Beijing. So now, let him learn how to find people to go to Beijing and buy some yards and fields.

and shops have become a top priority.

It is not easy to buy these things in Beijing, and the prices are also expensive. Ten shops here may not be able to buy one shop there.

Their family was rich locally, but they were not considered rich when they arrived in Beijing. The old lady secretly thought that some of them would have to be changed to the name of her grandson's wife, and some of them would have to be placed in the name of her daughter-in-law. In this case, check

It's okay when we arrive.

Of course, the sons and grandsons should also put some money in their own names.

Do the math, it's a lot of money.

After all, I'm old, so I just have enough. The Tong family didn't pursue the property here carefully. If they did, they certainly wouldn't be able to keep it all. It's better to sell it now while it's open to the public.

Because of Lao Shi's unexpected move, the old lady had already thought about moving her family. Of course, what made her determined was not only that Lao Shi won the scholarship, but also that the situation here was getting worse and worse, so she wanted to leave her roots here.

This is fine. I'm getting old, so I'd better go to a safer place to talk.

Of course, what happened afterwards was not as expected by Mr. Tong. The various silver items quoted made Mr. Tong twitch at the corner of his mouth. However, the old lady did not ask for his private house. After selling the shop land, the father still had one thousand taels more money.

Inexplicably, his mood felt a lot better.
