Chapter 381

The whole Xiao family is the most famous merchant in the four prefectures of the border area. The shops are all over the place of Yunzhou City, and the people in the local place attach great importance to the Xiao family. In this way, the strength of the Xiao family is beyond the ordinary people's ability.

The snow clam oil used in Rong embroidery has become easy to get. Mr. Xiao didn't let everyone go or stay, so they all agreed to stay. It seems that until Mr. Xiao handed over the power of his own family, everyone would not be able to leave.

On both sides of the house, people of other surnames were living in the courtyard on both sides of the house. But the only one who passed on was Xiao Zizheng. The old prince did not arrange any punishment for them. On the contrary, Jing bang was expelled from the inner court and never used it again.

In Rong Xiu's eyes, the most tactful is the second wife. With more than one person, they usually eat in their own courtyards, but they don't have to see each other again.

If she was happy, she would cook herself, cook two good dishes, and pour two cups of bamboo leaf green, and drink freely.

This day, Rongxiu was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the snow, but someone came quickly. It turned out that the visitor was Jing bang. He carefully peeped at the expression on Rong Xiu's face. The wound on his neck was not healed. Naturally, he knew the means of Rong embroidery.

"I don't know what you want?" When Rong Xiu saw this man, she was not in a good mood. However, she still kept her anger in her heart and said coldly, "did you learn a lesson from the last thing? Didn't you get kicked out of the inner court for a long time? "

"Mrs. Zhou Shao, where do I dare to offend you again? I came here today to remind you." Jingbang's head was almost completely lowered.

When Rong Xiu saw this funny look, she couldn't bear to say, "well, you just stand up and talk."

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Zhou." Jingbang's eyes are full of respect. Maybe it was the decisive means of the embroidery, but it made Jingbang's view on Rong embroidery a little different.

He thought that Rong embroidery was no more than a little lady, but it was a very powerful way to stab her neck with a hairpin at that time. Such a woman, Jing bang, stood beside her, felt more warm and steadfast.

"Young lady, I hear you use a lot of snow clam oil these days?" "The second lady is going to check the accounts these days. She said that the money was wrong. I came here to remind you of it."

A box of snow clam oil can't be used for much silver, but Rongxiu has taken three boxes of it these days. At least there are hundreds of taels. No wonder the two ladies feel strange.

"If she comes to see me, I'm afraid she won't come to me." Rong Xiuyan smile: "Jingbang, thank you very much."

She took two pearls from one side and put them into Jing Bang's hands: "these two pearls will be given to you. The last time I was in a hurry, I did it. "

This is the last bit of money left by Rong embroidery. She kept such a small amount of betrothal gifts from Zhou's family before. She didn't expect that living in a high gate and deep house would be enough to support her here.

When Jing Bang saw the two pearls, they were really top-grade goods. He immediately clouded his eyes: "Rong xiuniang Thank you very much... "

At this time, he not only did not complain about Rong embroidery, but also appreciated it. Although he was the son of the housekeeper, over the years, the housekeeper of the Xiao family had not taken much money, and even less had been paid by Jingbang.

When he was studying, he seldom got any money, so his life was not easy. These two pearls could be worth the expenses of several days.

Rongxiu's savings are partly to invite people's hearts and partly to sympathize with Jingbang. If it was not for lack of money, he, the son of a housekeeper, would not have risked doing such a thing for fifty Liang silver.

"I should thank you very much. If you didn't remind me, I would have been unprepared." Rong Xiu sighed: "I spend a lot on snow clam oil these days. I will try to cope with it."

After a few more thanks, Fang took the silver in his hand and went down.

Not long after Jing Bang's front foot left, another person came to the courtyard. The visitor turned out to be Xiao Jinghong. Xiao Jinghong's face was full of smile, and he seemed to be a little gentle. When he looked at him, he was very happy. He looked very lucky. He was really as bright as the moon in the sky.

"Mrs. Zhou Shao, I came here today to ask if you have spent hundreds of liang of silver in your courtyard these days, but really?"

This is the first time that Rong Xiu has heard Xiao Jinghong speak like this. His voice is so soft and touching. Anyone who hears such a soft voice will be soft hearted, even Rong Xiu is no exception.

"Yes, it's all for the medicine I need." Rong embroidery does not avoid taboos.

For a while, Xiao Jinghong's face was puzzled: "if it is, it's used in a proper place. According to the due share of the government, each courtyard is only 20 Liang silver a month. The expenses of the young lady are far more than that."

"Oh? What if I spend so much? " Chengdu embroidery eyebrow peak a pick.

"Of course, the Zhou family will subsidize it." Xiao Jinghong's eyes closed. It looked like she was frightened by Rong embroidery. However, Rong Xiu knew that the girl in front of her was not so timid.From what happened last time, we can know that Xiao Zizheng and his second wife were in collusion, which was unreasonable at all. But Xiao Jinghong was afraid that he was acting for a tiger.

After hearing this, Rong Xiu was not worried at all: "in this case, I will go to ask the old prince whether the rules in the mansion are really so inhuman."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinghong took the lead and stopped Rong Xiu's body: "Mrs. Zhou Shao, the old prince is the most rule-abiding person. Everyone in the mansion acts according to the rules. If you change the rules today, how about if others change the rules tomorrow? As time goes by, isn't Xiao's house becoming extravagant?"

This Xiao Jinghong seems to be really righteous, and his words are not wrong at all. But unexpectedly, a smile appeared on the face of Rong embroidery: "I don't know how much moon silver is in Miss Xiao's room?"

"Two liang silver a month." Xiao Jinghong didn't know the meaning of Rong embroidery, so he had to tell the truth.

"Well, how old is Miss Xiao now?" Rong Xiu still has a smile on her face.

"I'm eighteen this year." The smile on Xiao Jinghong's face gradually faded away: "Mrs. Zhou Shao asked me about these things. What do you want?"

"You are eighteen." Rong Xiu nodded slowly: "that is to say, for so many years, you only have more than 400 Liang silver."
