Yunchu smiled to herself.
In her previous life, she thought that the Xie family was poor, so she voluntarily subsidized the dowry for fear of hurting the dignity of the Xie family and never mentioned this matter.
But the fact that the old lady could take out twenty thousand taels of silver in one breath was enough to prove that the Xie family had a certain amount of family money.
Now look back and think about it, her father-in-law is a hundred miles around the only scholar, Xie Jingyu is the youngest scholar, Xie family in the capital is really not good, but in their local but extremely prestigious, so many landlords and squires will be titled in the Xie family's name, the annual income is bound to be not a small amount.
Mother Zhou offered up the silver tickets.
Yun Chu took a step back and curtsied, "This silver was given to me, and it was also used for the daily expenses of the entire house, so old madam might as well take it back."
The old lady always felt as if her granddaughter-in-law was different somewhere.
Since the death of the child in her womb, her granddaughter-in-law had become particularly pliable and obedient and respectful to her as an elder.
It was the first time that the trick of backing down had been used to take her down.
The old woman shook her head immediately after the word came to mind.
Yunchu has nothing to produce and can't have her own child in this life, so only the Xie family is taking her down!
"Chor, you're making me look bad." The old lady opened her mouth, "Once upon a time, I didn't know, if I had known, there would be no such thing as today, this money you make up back to the dowry list, later I will let mom Zhou put all the proceeds from your father's manor on the public account, in the future, ah, lack of money come to find me, don't use your own body again, remember?"
Yunchu backhanded the old lady's hand, full of emotion: "really or the old lady love me, before my mother asked about the dowry in a hundred peonies screen, I'm still thinking about what excuse to find perfunctory past it, now well, with the silver just can buy another almost ... "
At those words, the old lady broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, she generously returned the silver, if Mrs. Yun became suspicious and personally came to Xie's house, it would not be possible to hide.
"Good boy ...," the old lady patted Yunchu's hand, "The Xie family is in your hands, I'm relieved, hard work for you."
Yunchu paused and opened her mouth, "Usually I am alone to take care of the common people's affairs, the old lady has some suspicion in fact, it is reasonable, how about this, Ping sister's son is big and will soon be looking to get married, let her follow me together with the housekeeper it."
Old Mrs. Xie didn't state her position, if she nodded her head right away, it would look as if she distrusted Yun Chou.
Zhou mother who was serving on the side said on her behalf, "Missy will definitely be the main mother of a house in the future, so she has to learn this."
The old lady took a sip of tea before saying, "Ping sister, what do you mean about yourself?"
Xie Ping was all smiles, "I'm willing to learn!"
Mother has kept the Xie residence in good order, and if she learns her skills, it will be much easier to marry into a high family.
Yun Chu laughed, "Tomorrow morning after you greet me, stay at the Yusheng Residence and follow me."
When the matter was finished, she rose to take her leave.
Listening to Frost holding the butler's pair of cards in her hand and a large stack of silver bills, she followed behind.
The old madam sighed, calling Yun Chou to come, obviously to raise an accusation, but in the end it was her hemorrhaging a loss of more than twenty thousand taels of silver.
Xie Shian eyes obscure, he is really feel his mother is not the same ...
Yun Chou slowly walked back to Yusheng Residence.
When he traveled to the entrance of the courtyard, he saw several maids gathered there.
It turned out to be the three words on the plaque at the entrance to the courtyard, the "jade" word is missing a little bit, the girls are thinking of ways to remedy.
"Ma'am, it's really weird that the good Yusheng Residence has become the Wangsheng Residence." Listening to the snow spoke up, "Why don't we go ask the lord to rewrite a plaque?"
Yunchu looked up at those three words.
This courtyard was there before she married in, originally Xie Jingyu lived alone, after she lived in, Xie Jingyu moved to the next courtyard.
She spoke, "Don't bother with the character Yu, from now on it will be called Shengju."
The maids and boys looked at each other, all seeing unbelief in each other's eyes.
The Jade in Yushengju is a word in your name, is it really good to just remove it?
Hearing Frost said coldly, "Didn't you hear what Madam said, why are you still standing there?"
The group rushed to get busy with ladder tools.
Yunchu just sat in the chair, saw his mother-in-law Yuan's yard serving people took two thousand taels of silver over: "Lady for the Xie family inside and outside, the wife knows in her heart, specially let the old slaves to take the silver, the lady can go to make a head and face of their own liking, to buy some good fabrics."
She pursed her lips.
After she married in, her mother-in-law, who had been bedridden for more than ten years, suddenly got well.
That's why my mother-in-law always thought that she was blessed in her life.
This mother-in-law of hers is still a little bit genuine to her.
Just this point of sincerity, after the Yun family accident, it is gone ...
Yunchu gathered all the silver together and handed it over to Listening Frost, "Send it to Uncle Chen, tell him to buy as much ice as he has, and if you don't have enough silver you can go to the money bank to borrow it."
Listen to Frost go while the night is young.
This night, Yun Chu slept quite well.
When she opened her eyes in the morning, the sky was not yet light enough for her to get dressed and go out, and Xie Shian was sitting in the side hall waiting to greet her.
When he saw her come out, he got up in a hurry, "Mother."
Yunchu asked him gently, "Have you eaten?"
Xie Shi An shook his head, "When I came out of the ancestral hall, I came directly to mother's place. In these two days, I have figured out many things, thanks to mother's teachings and chastisement."
"It's good to think about it." Yun Chou smiled and said, "Sit down and dine with me."
Xie Shi'an breathed a small sigh of relief.
His mother was still treating him as kindly as before, so it seemed that he had thought too much.
Halfway through the meal, Yun Chu put down her chopsticks and spoke, "I was reading a book yesterday and came across a story, do you want to hear it?"
Xie Shi An followed and put down his chopsticks, putting on an air of listening.
Once upon a time, Yun Chou would occasionally talk to him about some interesting stories from the imperial battlefield, and he was not surprised that this would suddenly lead to a story.
Yun Chu spoke slowly, "It says that there was a woman who raised three children, but when the children grew up, they killed her because of a little conflict, do you think the children did the right thing?"
"Of course it's not right!" Xie Shi'an was indignant, "These three people are simply heartless and unworthy of being sons!"
Yunchu asked, "What if these three children are not the woman's own?"
Xie Shi'an spoke, "The grace of raising them is greater than the grace of birth, the woman who raised them is their mother, no matter what, she shouldn't kill her own mother!"
Yunchu nodded, "Then again, if the woman might be involved in a rebellion, and the three children killed the woman just to protect themselves and the whole family, at this point, do you still think they did something wrong?"
Sheshyan didn't give an answer that quickly again.
He pondered for a while, before raising his head and slowly said, "The life of an entire family, compared to a woman, naturally the family is more important. If the woman knew that the child killed her for the sake of the family's prosperity, I think she would be willing to die."
Yunchu smiled, "Thank you."
Xie Shi'an suddenly realized that something was wrong, "What did mother thank me for?"
Yunchu curled her lips.
Thanks for making the same choices he made in his last life, of course.
Thankfully, he was still the same as he was in his last life, so there would be no more hesitation when she moved.
