: Get the huge silver

That night, after Xu Junze came back from abroad, he entered Lin Shuran's room and saw that she seemed to have washed up but had not gone to bed yet. She was reading a book by candlelight, which was a geographical chronicle of the Jin Dynasty.

He came in with a cold winter atmosphere. She looked up and saw him slowly approaching the charcoal fire and sitting down. Chunxi hurriedly came in with hot tea, then closed the door and went out.

Xu Junze took a slow sip of hot tea and sat there silently. Lin Shuran noticed that he seemed to have something on his mind, so she put down the book, walked up to him and asked, "General, what's the matter?"

Xu Junze slowly raised his head and looked at her intently. A shining star seemed to rise in his deep eyes, which suddenly became warm.

"We are married, you should call me husband and wife!" Xu Junze put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up. His momentum suddenly increased and approached, causing Lin Shuran's upper body to tilt back.

Did he think for a long time just because of a title? Lin Shuran was much shorter than Xu Junze, so she had to raise her neck and replied naturally: "Yes, husband!"

Xu Junze seemed to have guessed that Lin Shuran would listen to his words so obediently, because from the first time they met after their wedding, she seemed to be wearing a deliberately disguised mask in front of him. She shouted softly and gently, but there was nothing in her eyes.

The emotional warmth, how could her heart be disturbed if she didn't have him in her heart at all? On the contrary, he was actually influenced by her several times.

Suddenly, Xu Junze had the idea of ​​teasing Lin Shuran. He bent down and approached her, his eyes were level with hers, and the tip of his nose almost touched hers. Lin Shuran was startled by this sudden intimacy, and almost fell back because of his unsteady center of gravity.

Go, luckily Xu Junze acted quickly and grabbed her waist.

The warmth from the man's generous palm made Lin Shuran's heart beat uncontrollably, and her face turned red. She quickly got up to avoid him, pretending to be calm and walked to the bedside.

In front of the dressing table, I tried to calm down the strange emotions in my heart.

Xu Junze had a slight smile in the corner of his eyes behind her where she couldn't see it. It turned out that she didn't have any feelings for him, but now she would subconsciously avoid him. This made him still care, and he cared very much. He had been with him before.

He has always had very little contact with the woman and doesn't know how to make her start to really care about her. After all, he has already started to care about her.

However, Lin Shuran's requirements for life are not just "not hungry". In the past, before she had nothing to do with the Xu family, she had nothing to do with supporting herself and the group of people under her. But now she has thirteen sons all of a sudden, and with these children day by day

As they grow older, their expenses will inevitably increase. We can't let their food, clothing, housing and transportation be too shabby. After all, they are also the legitimate sons from the General's Mansion. In addition, they will get married and have children in the future, so the money they spend will be more than enough.

Young Master, if you can't save a little bit of family property, I'm afraid no one will want to marry into the Xu family in the future.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. What on earth is Xu Junze going to do with the money? Could it be that he has a family outside? Or is he in debt to someone?

It wasn't until Xu An came to ask for the key to the warehouse the next day that Lin Shuran learned from him that Xu Junze would withdraw a large sum of money from the warehouse at this time every year, at least half of the family's wealth. Last year, he took out 70,000 taels.

, almost emptied the Xu family's wealth. This year, the family managed to save more than 60,000 taels, and he had to take away another 50,000 taels.

"Nothing happened. I will take some money from my husband at this time every year from now on. Don't worry, I won't starve you and your children!" Xu Junze didn't explain too much. After that, he got up and went to wash up, leaving behind

Lin Shuran was more curious about this.

Xu An shook his head in embarrassment and said that he didn't know what Xu Junze did with the money. Anyway, every year during the New Year, the life of the General's Mansion was smaller than usual. Fortunately, no one would take the initiative to celebrate the New Year in these years.

They don't have to bother to reciprocate the gift, which saves a lot of money for the family.

When Lin Shuran heard what Xu An said, she couldn't laugh or cry. Could it be that Xu Junze didn't attend invitation banquets from various mansions or interact with other mansions because he was short of money and wanted to save money and use it elsewhere? It's just that he spent so much money at once.

What to do? You must know that he has a special status, and every move will arouse speculation from the emperor and courtiers.

The Xu family only has Xu Junze's lineage. The "Gongzhong" is actually the warehouse of the General's Mansion. Lin Shuran looked surprised and asked hurriedly: "Did something happen? Why do we need to take so much at once?"

silver?"

"Steward Xu, do you know what the general does with so much money every year?" Xu Junze didn't look like a lavish playboy. Did everyone take it wrong? Lin Shuran's intuition told Lin Shuran that it was not that easy for Xu Junze to use this money.

But then I thought about it, the money belongs to Xu Junze, and he has no right to interfere with it how he wants to use it. What's more, he is not an unreasonable person, and he also said last night that he would not starve himself and his children.

Xu Junze pondered for a moment and then his face returned to its previous cold expression. He did not allow the affair between a man and a woman to occupy his mind too much. After sitting down again, he said calmly: "Tomorrow I will take 50,000 taels of silver from the father-in-law.

!”

Lin Shuran is now the mistress of the house. She knows that the accounts of the General's Mansion have a total of more than 60,000 taels of silver. In total, as a first-class general, Xu Junze's salary is not low, plus the usual royal rewards and land and shops, etc.

The income in a year is not small, but the Xu family's wealth is only more than 60,000 taels of silver, which is really not much.

If Xu Mingchen and the others call themselves "mother" now, then she will have to shoulder the responsibilities and obligations of a "mother" and save more family property for them. They can't be together when they meet the girl they like.

He couldn't afford the betrothal gift, which made people look down upon him.

"Butler Xu, the affairs of the porridge shed must be settled today. Don't worry about the money. You must not let others think that our general's office is stingy!" Lin Shuran has already made up her mind. After the new year, she has to make a good plan on how to make more money.

She saves money to save the family business, because she has deeply understood a truth since her previous life - money is not everything, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

In the next few days, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion jointly opened a porridge shed to provide porridge inside and outside the city, which was unanimously praised by the people, especially Xu Minghao, the young Xu family members who also helped in the cold weather.

Being busy with work has greatly changed people's bad impression of them.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Emperor also greatly praised the two families and rewarded them with many good things. Aunt Chang, the lady in charge of the Queen Mother, personally brought the rewards to meet Yang and Lin Shuran of the Zhenguo Palace.
