Chapter 440
It is rare to see the Yong'an Hou coming to the door, and Wan Ronghua was both surprised and happy. Even the anger that Yu Qiwen had just found out when she returned and vented her anger, she was extinguished.
"Why don't you buy Qiwen the glass makeup box she likes?"
He was so angry that Yong'an Hou asked Wan Ronghua and said, "I just gave you 50,000 taels of silver, why are you telling her that you have no money?"
"Master Hou, do you know everything?"
After a moment of confusion, Wan Ronghua couldn't believe that the news in Yu Qiwen's yard would have spread so quickly. How long has it been? Even the Marquis of Yong'an knew that Yu Qiwen took her anger and beat someone to death?
She really didn't expect that Yu Qiwen's yard would look like a sieve. The news from Yong'an Hou was beyond her expectations. She couldn't help but frown and said, "I'm about to enter the palace to run for election. This matter cannot be spread. At that little girl's house, we can't let them go out and talk nonsense and cause any more trouble?"
Yong'an Hou: "..."
No, what did he know? Is there anything else besides what Yu Qiwen asked for?
Yong'an Hou's eyes froze, and he asked again without hesitation to Wan Ronghua: "What trouble did she have?"
"You, don't you know?"
When Wan Ronghua saw the expression of Yong'an Hou, he immediately realized that he had misunderstood because he had lost his past.
But is this misunderstanding good for me, at least it changed the subject and did not ask Yong'an Hou to continue to pursue his 50,000 taels of silver?
So Wan Ronghua quickly put away her shocked expression and told the story that what had just happened in Yu Qiwen's yard that she accidentally injured a little maid's life, and then emphasized: "Mr. Hou, our mansion will never be able to spread any bad reputation. I am afraid that this matter will be done by me alone, and it depends on you."
In fact, Wan Ronghua is deliberately complimenting Yong'an Hou.
In terms of the means of concealment, her move will never be worse than that of Yong'an Hou. But even though Yong'an Hou bumped into him, it would be better for her to save trouble.
Moreover, after more than ten years of getting along, she had already figured out the temper of Yong'an Hou and knew that only by showing weakness could she get more benefits.
"Okay, I'll do this."
The Marquis of Yong'an also knew that this matter was extraordinary, so he nodded and agreed.
However, he did not do what Wan Ronghua wanted, so he forgot to ask about Yinzi. Then he questioned: "Jiwen went to the outer study room to find me, saying that you said you didn't have the money to buy her a glass makeup box for Baizi Opera?"
Frowning, he asked again: "It's just something worth less than 2,000 taels of silver. Why has it become the expense of our entire mansion for a whole year? I remember you said that our mansion has not had more than 100,000 taels of silver for a year. To put it this way, two thousand taels are just more than a month of spending, so why can't we really save it?"
"Have she even asked you?"
After cursing in anger, Wan Ronghua pretended to be helpless and explained to the Yong'an Hou: "I'm not hiding it from the Marquis, I saw her spending money and not taking the money at all. I thought that our mansion was like the Liang Mansion, and she threw hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at will as if the prince of Liang was not careful. I was afraid that she would not learn good things and just learn bad things, so I deliberately said so that she could know that the money was not easy."
"So that's how it is."
Marquis Yong'an nodded with no concern and said to Wan Ronghua casually: "But this time I've agreed to her, just buy it for her."
After saying that, he raised his foot and wanted to leave.
"But I can't buy it this time. I'm not lying to her. I'm really out of money." Seeing that the Marquis of Yong'an came just for this matter and was reluctant to leave for a moment after saying it, Wan Ronghua felt a little angry and said helplessly with a little resentment.
"What's going on? In just a few days, the 50,000 taels of silver have been spent?" Yong'an Houdon stopped and looked at Wan Ronghua, "You tell me, where did the silver cost?"
"Where can I go? Can't the palace be managed without any need to do anything?"
After a few words, Wan Ronghua had already thought about how to deal with it. He said, "That's a bottomless pit. The silver we just gave was in before, but yesterday, Eunuch Pan, who was beside the emperor, sent someone to say that he was attracted to a house in the north gate. He was 30,000 taels away and wanted to borrow the money to make a turnaround.
Do you think I can agree? But now I can only raise 13,000 taels of silver in my hand, and there are still 17,000 taels left. Why do you ask me to buy her the glass mirror makeup box? If I can promise to buy her the cheapest glass mirror, then I will prepare to take the glass mirror I thought about for a long time before I was willing to buy it for her.”
As he said that, Wan Ronghua's eyes turned red and looked at Yong'an Hou with some grievance: "If you don't take the lead, you don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive. Every day, you need money everywhere. Don't I know that the glass makeup box of Baizixiu is good? But I also know that the family is not as good as before. Didn't you also think that you can save a penny of money for you?"
As she said that, she took a veil and wiped her tears, and said with a sob: "I didn't know that you were in trouble over the years. You always went out less than you came in. You really took a little less money on hand.
I feel uncomfortable every time I ask you for additional money, but I can't take it. I just regret that I'm incompetent. If I'm just like that little guy, I have the ability to be a big shopkeeper and can share your worries."
Speaking of An Wan'er's ability to make money, Wan Ronghua's tears really fell, and she couldn't help but regret it: "I was really confused by lard before. I could treat her better than anything else, but I just treated her like a devil."
"What's the use of talking about these now?"
Wan Ronghua's showing of weakness was still useful. In the end, the Marquis of Yong'an lost much dissatisfaction with her. A little bit of pride felt in his heart.
Seeing what she said was pitiful, she said that she was willing to buy a cheap glass mirror in order to save money for herself.
This is called Yong'an Hou immediately thought of the woman he raised outside.
Thinking of it, the master who wanted to squeeze out all the silver on him. As soon as he opened the glass workshop, he took five or six thousand yuan of silver from him in order to buy glass mirrors of all sizes.
In comparison, Wan Ronghua thought about it more than a hundred taels of money, and he only bought the cheapest small mirror.
She was not willing to ask her to buy the eldest daughter she always loved for with silver, but it was only less than two thousand taels, and the meaning was a good glass makeup box.
