Chapter 153: The Heart is Separated from the Belly

She didn't want precious jewels, jewelry, or silks, but only wanted money? Could such a vulgar woman who only wanted money really catch He Yanxiu's eye?

And he could make He Yanxiu never forget her, even thinking about going back to accompany her right after returning to Beijing? This...

What kind of extraordinary woman is she?

After a long pause, Lu asked uncertainly, "Do you really want these?"

To give it to your mistress? "Yes." He Yanxiu nodded, and was a little surprised, "Does mother think something is wrong?"

His painting had already been completed and sent to Bazhenzhai, and it was auctioned for a high price of three thousand taels of silver, which could support him for a long time. Even if he had to give more money to Su Yujin as a reward, it would be enough for a long time.

But he didn't know whether it was because of Su Yujin's influence or because giving rewards had become a habit, but he now felt that the more money, the better.

It’s better to be prepared.

What's more, today it was his mother who specifically asked to give him something.

When Lu got married, because she was the only girl of her generation, the He family was originally a scholarly family, and He Chengye was the top scholar in the imperial examination at that time with both talent and appearance, the Lu family was unwilling to lose face when it came to the dowry, and gave Lu a dowry of eighty-one loads, which was truly a ten-mile red wedding.

In order to take into account the reputation of the He family as a scholarly and prestigious family at the time, many things were not exposed to the outside. Most of them were placed in the box in the form of shops, banknotes, farms, etc.

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe the Lu family as being extremely wealthy.

Since she took the initiative to give something, the amount must be quite large, and He Yanxiu didn't want to waste this opportunity.

Seeing He Yanxiu's serious look, Lu became even more speechless.

Why do I feel like my son is becoming a little money-conscious?

What kind of person is that mistress?

After complaining for a while, Lu finally did as she promised He Yanxiu. She took the warehouse key and called Lu He beside her to go to the warehouse to get what He Yanxiu wanted - money!

The small box was filled with sixty taels of gold, and two thousand taels of silver notes were stacked underneath.

"Thank you, mother." He Yanxiu thanked Lu and asked Xing'an to take the box.

"Is it really not necessary to bring other things?" Lu asked, still unwilling to give up, picking up the pearl headpiece beside her. "This was made by someone in Yangzhou at your grandmother's request. I can't say it's better than the ones in the palace, but I can only say that there are not many such good things in the whole capital."

"If that one is too expensive, how about this gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones? This one is quite common and looks elegant and generous."

"If that doesn't work, how about this pair of Butterfly Love Flower hairpins? They look very delicate..."

He Yanxiu thought for a while and waved his hand, "Thank you for your concern, mother. It's really not necessary."

Su Yujin seemed to rarely wear jewelry on a daily basis. Even the hairpin on her head was of the simplest style. She probably didn't like these things.

After all, this time he was the one who hurt himself again by not listening to the doctor's advice. He Yanxiu felt a little uneasy and thought it would be best to give in to the doctor's wishes.

Lu: "..."

I can't figure it out! Here, Madam He and He Chengye were talking in the room.

"Yan De, this child..." Madam He sighed, "In the eyes of others, he is the eldest grandson of the family and the pillar of the He family. He should be outstanding in everything, but he has such a stubborn and competitive personality, which is really unacceptable."

Seeing that He Chengye didn't say anything, Madam He continued, "Fortunately, Yan Xiu was lucky and had a good life this time, so nothing serious happened. But this time he was lucky, but what about next time, and the next time? I'm afraid that as long as he is still alive, he will always regard Yan Xiu as a thorn in his side."

"I really don't know how long this will last and to what extent. Do you really want an old woman like me to send off the young one?"

"Mother, there's no need to worry too much. Yan Xiu knows what's going on." He Chengye replied.

"What's the use of knowing? He's in the open, Yan De is in the dark. How long can we defend ourselves?" Old Madam He said, her voice gradually getting louder. "Can this man escape from a poisonous snake? He'll be bitten unexpectedly!"

"In the end, Yan Xiu is still too concerned about family affection. He still treats him as his eldest cousin and is still thinking about the good things of the eldest brother and his wife, but he doesn't know..."

"People's hearts are all separated by their stomachs!"

After saying this, Madam He couldn't catch her breath and coughed violently a few times.

His already old face looked even more tired.

"Mother, calm down." He Chengye hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea over and fed it to Madam He, and then helped him calm down. "Mother, you don't have to worry too much about these things. Your son knows what to do and will definitely be able to handle it. Don't let your mother worry."

"Like father, like son. Your father is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and so are you. It's exactly the same with Yan Xiu. They all think of friendship and loyalty and cannot be cruel."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Madam He glanced at He Chengye and said, "What you mean by getting it done is, I think, the same as what Yan Xiu did. It's just a warning to make him restrain himself. But if he knew how to restrain himself, he wouldn't have come to this point."

"You don't have to say so much nonsense, and there's no need to persuade me about this matter. Just do as I say!"

"Mother..." He Chengye felt a little uneasy, "After all, he is my eldest brother's only child..."

"You call him Big Brother, but he may not recognize you as his second brother!"

Madam He shouted angrily, "He has been spared half his life, which is the best the He family has done for him. We will support him for most of his life. As for the issue of offspring in this lineage, if there is no hope in the future, we can adopt one from the side branches. Pick someone with good character, which will save us a lot of trouble!"

Seeing that Madam He was full of anger and her eyes were red, He Chengye knew that this matter had to be done, so he nodded and said, "Yes, son will follow mother's instructions and arrange it right away."

Seeing He Chengye agreed, Madam He's expression softened slightly and she nodded slightly, "This should be done as soon as possible. The weather is getting colder day by day."

"Yes." He Chengye agreed again, "Don't worry, mother. I understand."

The anger on Madam He's face had finally dissipated. She closed her eyes and said after a while, "Go ahead and ask the maids at the door to call your wife and Yan De's wife over. We just agreed to let them choose the pattern of the Lu silk."

"Also, since Yan De said he was frightened last night and had some bumps and bruises, it would be better to ask someone to call a doctor to take a look."

There are some things that need to be done, but you can't reveal them on the surface. Everything has to be normal so that no one notices anything.

Especially when outsiders look at it, they can't find anything wrong with it.

This is the experience she has accumulated over the years as the mistress of the He family.

But then again, if she had had such insight and skills at the beginning, she would not have left behind such a disaster.
