Chapter 150 Three hundred taels of silver
Pulling his thoughts back from his memories, Ye Duling stood up and bowed to Dong Changying seriously. No matter how others in the Ye Mansion viewed Dong Changying as a son-in-law, Ye Duling at least maintained a respect for his husband. After all, Ye Duling was familiar with women's classics such as "Female Ring" and "Female Training" when he was a child. He still valued things like the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, Three Obediences and Four Virtues.
Ye Duling stepped to the round table and said with a smile: "It seems that the heavy rain will not stop for a while. Will your husband still go out and be busy with things?"
Dong Changying's face turned awkward and red. What can he do when he goes out? It's just that he goes out to drink and listen to music with his group of friends. Ye's mansion has always been aware of such things, but Ye Duling has never spoken about such things. When others come to complain to Ye Duling, Ye Duling smiles and distracts the topic. Over time, the people in the Ye's mansion have agreed to Dong Changying's debauchery. Dong Changying is also sensible. Even if he drinks and listens to music outside, he will not be too much, and he will not bring those ragged things to the Ye's mansion. This is also the reason why Ye Yuanhai, who has always been rigorous in the family management, can acquiesce to Dong Changying.
Dong Changying took a deep breath to calm down his mood, lowered his head and said softly: "It's nothing big. I just made an appointment with Mr. Su a few days ago to have a small gathering today. Isn't that... I plan to go out today."
Ye Duling didn't care about this and said with a chuckle: "Men should go out for social events frequently. Maintaining good connections these days is more important than anything else. Is the money on my husband enough? If it is not enough, I will tell you, I still have a few taels of silver here."
Dong Changying's old face was rarely blushed. A few days ago, he went to Miaoyinfang to support him. He was short of money, but it was difficult to get rid of the tiger at that time, so he could not lose his face, so Dong Changying went directly to the pharmacy managed by Ye Tuling to pay money.
However, the shopkeeper in the pharmacy was also a real person. Although he was very angry when he saw Dong Changying coming, he insisted that he could not spend a penny of money without seeing the printing of the shopkeeper Ye San's book or souvenir. No matter how much money Dong Changying said in the pharmacy, he did not get a penny of money.
This incident made Dong Changying lose all his last bit of face, and it was also a joke near the Ye family for a while.
On the night of the incident, Chunyu came to Ye Duling to learn about this matter to her lady, but Ye Duling just shook her head and smiled, and did not comment on it. However, from then on, Ye Duling's money was privately subsidized from her room.
Dong Changying scratched his head, "Silver...Silver is enough. I just go out and drink and chat with them, and I can't spend much money."
Ye Duling is so smart. When he saw Dong Changying's embarrassment, he knew what Dong Changying's real situation was. Just as he was about to speak, the maid Chunyu came over with a plate of exquisite pastries. Without even looking at Dong Changying, he directly placed the blue and white porcelain plate in his hand on the table and whispered: "Miss, please use it slowly."
When Chunyu was about to retreat, he was stopped by Ye Duling. Ye Duling gently ordered in Chunyu's ear: "Go to the room and bring out my purse."
Chunyu pouted again and stomped her feet gently, "Miss!"
Ye Duling glared softly: "Go quickly!"
After all, Chunyu still dared not disobey her lady's orders. She glared at Dong Changying in dissatisfaction, and turned around and went to the room to get the money.
"Chunyu is still old and has been spoiled by me over the years. Don't take your heart to your heart, my husband." Ye Duling sat down next to the round table and pushed the pastries on the table to Dong Changying. "It's raining now. You might as well sit down and eat some snacks. It's not too late to go out after the rain stops."
Dong Changying pondered for a moment, then sat down beside Ye Tuling, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a small bite. He felt salivation full of saliva, and exclaimed softly: "This pastry looks bad, but the taste is really nothing to say, but it can't be said how delicious it is. In short, it's delicious, and it cannot be expressed in words."
Ye Duling picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiled very delicately, and said quietly: "This pastry was given to me by my father two days ago. It is said that it was delivered from Yangzhou. It was made by the most authentic Yangzhou guru by the most authentic Yangzhou master. Then he quickly sent it to the county magistrate's mansion. Then the prefect Yi gave the pastry to his elder brother. To this day, the rest is only this dish. Since my husband likes to eat, eat more."
Dong Changying put all the remaining osmanthus cakes in his mouth, and after hesitation, he asked, "Madam... do you eat some pastries every morning?"
"It's not just pastries, but also a cup of tea." Ye Duling shook his head and smiled playfully, "I get up too early every morning and the kitchen has not opened fire yet, so I'm too lazy to send someone to grab the chef from the bed every day. I'll eat some pastries in the morning to make up the rest, and it's all done."
Dong Changying saw Ye Duling's playful girl's smile slightly lost her mind, but she calmed down in an instant and whispered: "My wife's body is thin. She has been working hard all these days and can't bear it. It's better...it's better to pay attention to her health."
Ye Duling was slightly stunned, and an unspeakable look appeared on her fair face, but she also reacted in an instant, shook her head and chuckled, "We are the one who owns a pharmacy shop. I know about the matter about the body. I have also seen it with Manager Yang. It's because my body is weak. Control Yang prescribed a prescription for me. After I finish this matter, I will go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine and boil it."
After hearing these words from Ye Duling, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already oozed out of Dong Changying's forehead. After he lowered his head and was silent for a while, he spoke with a little bitterness: "Madam, we have been married for a year and a half. I only know that you are busy managing more than ten pharmacies, but I didn't expect to be so busy..."
After saying that, Dong Changying raised her head and looked at Ye Duling's thin shoulders and overly fair face, with a complicated expression.
Ye Duling smiled casually, "It's not that I've been so busy all the time. Isn't it just that summer has begun? Summer is a season of frequent malaria and other malaria. Our Ye family is the leader of the medicine shop in Luoyun City. Naturally, we need to make more medicinal materials in this area. It's better to be busy after this time."
Dong Changying, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised her head, hesitated for a while and said intermittently: "My wife... I don't know, I don't know what's happening at home, can I help me?"
"Ah? You...what did you say?" Ye Duling, who heard this for the first time in a year and a half, was stunned for a moment, with her little mouth slightly opened. Her big eyes, which were clearly black and white, were no longer able to plan the boss of the seventeen pharmacies, only the girl's surprise and doubt.
Dong Changying blushed for a moment and waved her hand quickly and said, "If I didn't say it...If I didn't say it, I'm just a sour scholar. I can't do anything except chanting some sour poems. I just spoke nonsense..."
"I'm very happy that my husband can think so, really happy!" Ye Duling took two deep breaths and calmed down his excitement, and slowly spoke, "After all, I am a weak woman. I have to force some things that I can't do. With my husband's help, I... I will not be so busy in the future!"
The sweat on Dong Changying's forehead slowly went down. He lowered his head and gasped slightly, his expression becoming a little more energetic and energetic than before.
Ye Duling tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just thought about it. There is indeed something that needs to be troubled by my husband. Mr. Su who is socializing with me today. Niangen used to take 300 taels of silver tonic in our pharmacy, saying that he would send the silver here after the New Year, but it is already May, and there is still no news about that silver. I sent someone to ask me about it twice, but Mr. Su said that he didn't know anything about medicinal materials. He asked whom we had to ask for the medicinal materials. Mr. Su's husband also knew that he would linger in the place of love and mistress every day and asked me to ask him to ask for the account. This is basically impossible. I originally thought that the three hundred taels of silver would be a dead account, but since my husband knew this Mr. Su, according to my opinion, the matter of this silver seemed to be something to say."
Dong Changying laughed, suddenly stood up, and said with confidence: "Don't worry, madam, Su Anning is quite familiar with me, I will definitely be able to do this for my wife."
Ye Duling followed him and stood up and said earnestly: "Husband, three hundred taels of silver are not a big amount. Our Ye family does not lack these. It's better to mention it briefly between husband and Mr. Su. It's best if he can pay it back. If he doesn't pay it back... then forget it, don't ruin the relationship between husband and Mr. Su."
Dong Changying just nodded, then went to pick up the oil-paper umbrella from the corner, walked to the door and stopped, and said confidently: "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely be able to do this."
"Husband, wait a moment." Ye Tuling stood up and took off the straw raincoat from the closet, came to Dong Changying's side and put it on the straw raincoat for Dong Changying, and sincerely told him, "It's a heavy storm outside, and the oil-paper umbrella cannot be prevented. If your husband goes out, it's better to wear the straw raincoat."
Dong Changying looked at Ye Duling put the straw raincoat on him, and he was lost for a moment. After Ye Duling sorted the straw raincoat for Dong Changying, Dong Changying came to his senses. Without saying anything, he directly pushed open the door and rushed into the wind and rain.
Chunyu walked out of the boudoir with her purse, stared at the lady standing at the door, and then asked in confusion: "Where is that... the son-in-law? He left without taking the money?"
"How could a seven-foot man in the world always spend money on women's family?" Ye Duling put a pair of plain hands behind her back, turned around with a clever smile, and looked at the maid Chunyu and said with a smile, "Actually... the rain is falling well!"
Chunyu was holding a purse in silver and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the lady was thinking about again.
