"Uncle said that Aunt Lin used to have silver stored in the uncle's place, just ask the uncle to put it, if Miss Lin wants to use it, just come and get it," Mama Wang sighed, "This is not our uncle's free gift, it is for this reason, Miss Lin doesn't believe it in the day, and she doesn't even believe it with you." These pieces of silver were left by my aunt, so you can rest assured that nothing will happen. ”

Zijuan sighed, but was still a little skeptical, "If that's the case, I'll have to take it first, thank you, grandma." ”

"Thanks what! You are a careful person, you know how to help your girl share your troubles, you are a sensible child, you do it yourself, and the girl will not be able to treat you badly in the future! Mama Wang smiled and took Zijuan's hand and sent her out, "You hurry up and follow my instructions, fry ginseng soup for your grandmother to drink, if she asks, you just have to prevaricate in the past, for example, the old lady's grace, all will be done, just don't say that it is taken from me, take your silver and arrange it for the people behind, take care of one or two, if I am free, I will also go to see her." Since you didn't tell the girl about this, you don't need to say it, and when you get better in the future, let Mama go back to serve the girl. ”

Zijuan hurriedly responded, and thanked him repeatedly, then turned around and left, Wang Mama Fu entered Xue Pan's inner courtyard again, and told Xue Pan about this, Xue Pan held the sweet soup, and felt that something was wrong, "Speaking of which," he put down the blue-and-white lotus leaf bowl with passion flower pattern on the white ground of the official kiln made inside, "Although my uncle passed away, he should have left a lot of silver, and he was in this position, even if he didn't deliberately collect money, he wouldn't say that there was no silver." ”

Three years of Qing prefect 100,000 snowflake silver, this is a famous proverb in the officialdom, Lin Ruhai used to deserve this two Huai patrol salt imperial history, is a first-class fat shortage, in the past in this errand of reassigning salt, Xue Pan has not done anything, he got a garden for nothing, and then the matter is done, and he got Pingshan Hall, these two gardens have a price, if they are taken out and sold, at least it is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This is just counting the things that Xue Pan received, not including his own low-price acquisition of so many salt-led profits, as for Xue Pan's requirement that these people deposit all the silver into the Xue family's bank, all those who want to temporarily mortgage and borrow money must also pass the Xue family's ticket number, the money earned in such a process is very amazing, it is simply an astronomical amount, if Xue Pan sells all the businesses outside the weaving mansion that are cut off, the silver obtained is afraid that he will not be able to eat, wear and enjoy it for several lifetimes.

Of course, Xue Pan won't do this, it's just a metaphor, but he said this just to show that Lin Ruhai's family would not be short of silver at all! If it was because there was no one to take care of it in the later generations, the slaves embezzled the master's property and fled, which was originally there, but Jia Lian clearly went to deal with Lin Ruhai's funeral, and there was no reason to say that he would not collect the property of the Lin family for Daiyu and put it in one place, which was a bit strange.

If Daiyu Danfan has some private silver, I am afraid that Zijuan will not be such a difficult thing for Mama Wang's treatment and recuperation costs, this matter is a little strange, Xue Pan pondered for a long time, and really didn't know how to do it, he was an outsider, and he couldn't ask directly what was going on, so he had to tell Mama Wang, "You quietly go and ask, ask around, what's going on, why is the monthly money in this house always late, and you have to ask about Miss Lin's side of the matter, you have to ask clearly, How could Zijuan be so embarrassed. ”

"Miss Lin's matter, I don't know yet, but I know very well about this month's money," Mama Wang looked left and right, and saw that there was indeed no one else, "Although it is a well-known thing, but it seems that the old ladies and ladies don't know it, but the people below have spread it all over, saying that the second grandmother took the silver of the monthly money and secretly went out to release the interest money. Don't you know that if she was for this few cents of silver, she would definitely not do this, I guess I guess, I'm afraid I still put the money in print. ”

Xue Pan was shocked, this seal money is a very scary usury, if you use popular terms, if you lend out one hundred taels of silver a year, and after a year, all the money recovered will cost three hundred taels, that is to say, the interest alone will cost two hundred percent interest! And if you want to borrow this silver, you have to repay a certain amount almost every day, this money is scary, so it is by no means an ordinary person can be put, it must be a high-powered person or a person who eats both black and white can put it out, generally speaking, if the money is released, in case it can't be recovered, those who are released money, the family is ruined, almost certain, "She is too bold!" In case the old lady finds out, how will she clean up? ”

The monthly money of Rongguo Mansion is only afraid that there are several hundred taels of silver, which adds up to a day of release, I am afraid that there will be a lot of income, no wonder Zijuan will say that the monthly money is delayed, this delay for a few days, Sister Feng will have income, she naturally makes this trick, "Then can there be a fake?" Mama Wang smiled, "And this silver, I'm afraid that the second grandmother took it herself, not for the public, if it is used for the public, where is it difficult to say?" It's going to be said openly, it's a matter of making money for the public, and it's inevitable, it's still your own private money. ”

Xue Pan shook his head, if the person in charge of the family has such a mind, I am afraid that it will be difficult to last long, not only does it need to be public, but in fact, it cannot be selfish, Sister Feng has such a meaning of seeking personal interests for herself, although it is a small money, but Sister Feng wants to be in charge, in fact, she has no worries about food and clothing, so why bother with these small money, when the time comes, no matter how many people outside will not be convinced of you.

This is related to the foundation of the foothold, Xue Pan doesn't know what Wang Xifeng thinks, of course, maybe it's because of the lack of knowledge, the woman in the house may still want to save some body, but it may also be because Sister Feng is here to help out, and she is not in a serious family.

"She can't do this well," Xue Pan shook her head, "But it is estimated that there are also her difficulties, this is also a helpless move, she is the daughter-in-law of the family, and there are many places to be filial piety everywhere," He has seen that Sister Feng often deliberately makes exquisite side dishes to flatter Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, which is all purchased after spending money, and there are people everywhere, and there are often eunuchs from the inner court here to fight the autumn breeze, Sister Feng's side, I am afraid that it is even more indispensable, "I know this matter, Our family doesn't want the silver over there, so the people underground are told to speak cautiously, and they are not allowed to talk nonsense, everyone can tell the old lady and Mrs. that the people on our side can't do it. ”

Xue Pan was still explaining something to Mama Wang, and Qingwen came in with sweet soup: "Where does Uncle have so many things to order?" Outside, Steward Zhang came to urge, saying that he must go out quickly, and the people in the yamen couldn't wait, so they quickly drank the soup and went out. ”

"I know, I know," Xue Pan said with a smile, "The room is full of your chatter, today's clothes are well done," Xue Pan raised his sleeves and looked at the official uniform on his body, "It's been hard these days, you have to rest and rest by yourself, and there are a lot of satin behind you, ask Mama Wang to bring it, and a few of you girls will also sew a few sets of new clothes and new skirts in the New Year, and the New Year will be celebrated soon, and you still have to wear good-looking clothes for the New Year." ”

Qingwen said with a smile, "There are so many daily clothes, what else do you have to do to make clothes, hey, what are you doing with your little hooves pushing me!" ”

Crane smiled and said, "Sister has a lot of new clothes, but we don't have them yet, who dislikes having more new clothes?" If my sister doesn't want it, then we will suffer it and don't bother my sister. ”

Xue Pan went out, and when Mama Wang saw these girls with hippie and smiling faces, she had to reprimand one or two, "Little hooves!" You should be careful, the uncle is good-natured, and the wife is also a bodhisattva, so you are fooling around at home, and my old man will not take care of you, but you must remember that if the uncle's affairs are not served well, be careful of your skin! ”
