Chapter 280 Can't Take This Loss
In her eyes, no matter how outstanding Xiao Jingzhan is, he is not as good as her husband.
"Sister-in-law, do you know how much silver we earned from today's banquet?"
"How much?"
Zhu Xuntao asked without any hesitation.
"We have received 180,000 taels of silver."
"After all, there are still many people who didn't bring enough silver with them, so they all went back to the mansion and sent servants to deliver silver." "
If we collect all the silver, it will be almost 400,000 taels of silver."
At the end, Yang Xiruo couldn't help but be amazed.
Sister-in-law only needs to hold three spring banquets and can easily earn a million taels of silver...
No, is silver so easy to earn now?
How can it be like sister-in-law planting cabbage in winter?
Or, the money everyone has and the money earned by sister-in-law are not the same money.
In short, Yang Xiruo fell into a mysterious and wonderful feeling.
"It's quite a lot."
Zhu Xuntao had a rough estimate of this number.
Hearing that it was almost the same, Zhu Xuntao didn't have any expression.
Yang Xiruo didn't understand:
"With this money, sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about rescuing the victims. Why is sister-in-law not happy?"
If it was her words, she would be so happy.
Even if she didn't earn this money, she felt involved today.
At this time, Yang Xiruo's heart was full of pride.
"Give it here."
The maids serving Mrs. Sun and Zhu Yingyan were specially arranged by Zhu Xuntao.
Nothing else, this maid learned the rules very well, all according to the palace standards.
"Crown Princess."
The maid handed a piece of paper to Zhu Xuntao, and then stepped aside.
The papers with the prices quoted by others fell into Yang Xiruo's hands for comparison, except for the one at Madam Sun's table.
"Can you take a look for yourself?"
Zhu Xuntao handed the note written by Madam Sun to Yang Xiruo. Yang Xiruo opened the envelope and exclaimed in surprise:
"One, one tael?!!!"
Did she read it wrong, or did Madam Sun write it wrong?
Madam Sun was the wife of the Minister of Rites, so had she become so shameless?
When writing one or two, Madam Sun didn't care about her own face, her sister-in-law's face,
and even the face of the entire Zhu Mansion. Didn't she care about it?
"Does she think such exquisite glass products are stones on the roadside?"
"One or two, how can she write it?"
Yang Xiruo was very angry.
Today's Spring Festival Banquet was organized by Zhu Xuntao. As Zhu Xuntao's closest relative,
Madam Sun should fully support Zhu Xuntao. How could she mess up Zhu Xuntao like this?
If others saw Madam Sun doing this, she didn't know whether Madam Sun would be embarrassed or not,
but Zhu Xuntao would be very embarrassed, she was sure.
Anyway, this is definitely not something a decent person can do.
Zhu Xuntao sighed: "You think one or two taels is too little, but she thinks one or two taels is too much."
"She doesn't care what the money is used for. She just thinks that as long as it is related to me, she can take it for free."
"If she really needs money, I should pay for it. She just needs to enjoy it."
Yang Xiruo raised her hand:
"Sister-in-law, don't say anymore. Give me some time, let me slow down. I can't accept it..."
With such a weird idea, Mrs. Sun is very unusual.
"Inhale, exhale..."
After taking a few deep breaths, Yang Xiruo felt better, and then she asked Zhu Xuntao with a green face,
"Sister-in-law, although you were born by Madam Sun, I really cannot agree with what Madam Sun did."
"The emperor does not advocate foolish filial piety."
"Madam Sun treats you like this, you won't really help her pay this money?"
If so, she would not be able to face her sister-in-law.
It doesn't make sense to be bullied to this extent, is it just because Madam Sun gave birth to her sister-in-law.
Seeing Yang Xiruo's angry look, Zhu Xuntao's mood improved and she laughed out loud:
"You are right, the emperor does not advocate foolish filial piety. As the emperor's niece-in-law, how can I go against the emperor."
Fortunately, the emperor is not the kind of person who rules the world with filial piety in the traditional sense. The word "filial piety" can directly crush a person to death.
Otherwise, as long as there is enough silver, she would not be willing to go through so many things.
Even if her grandfather has more expectations of her, what can she do if the world does not let people live.
Fortunately, it is not!
Fortunately, the emperor left her a way to survive.
Fortunately, she still has the choice to keep a distance from the people of the Zhu family.
"Then this silver..."
The word one or two is something she can't get over.
Zhu Xuntao laughed again:
"The person I invited today is not my biological mother, but the wife of the Minister of Rites."
"Today's Spring Festival Banquet is not a private party, do you understand?"
Yang Xiruo frowned: "I'm afraid Madam Sun won't recognize it."
Madam Sun gave a tael of silver and took the glass away.
She would only think that the transaction was over after the money was exchanged.
If she asked Madam Sun to pay the full price, she might even turn the tables and say that the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion was bullying.
Yang Xiruo didn't want to accept this dirty water.
"Why should she acknowledge him? As long as he is from Zhu Mansion, it's fine if someone is willing to acknowledge him. There's no need to just focus on her."
Zhu Xuntao really couldn't abandon Zhu Mansion, her mother's home. When sending the invitation, she also sent one to Zhu Mansion.
Zhu Xuntao had completely guessed what her birth mother would do today.
In this case, Zhu Xuntao must have made preparations early on and would not suffer this loss.
There's just one thing, as a human being, Zhu Xuntao didn't understand why her birth mother didn't make any progress after falling so many times?
When she taught the little fat boy the truth, if she was fast, she only needed to teach him once and the little fat boy would remember it.
Even if she was slower, she would only need to teach him three times at most and the little fat boy would have no problem.
But Madam Sun was so old, but she couldn't even compare to a three-year-old child. It was really disappointing.
"Sister-in-law, do you mean... Mr. Zhu?!"
That's fine!
Yang Xiruo's eyes lit up, and without Zhu Xuntao's instructions, she stuffed a few pieces of paper into the envelope,
and then ordered someone to deliver the envelope to the Zhu Mansion, and it must be handed over to Zhu Dingxing.
Zhu Dingxing had naturally heard about the second daughter holding a spring banquet at the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion.
Madam Sun and Zhu Yingyan were waiting to see Zhu Xuntao's good show, but Zhu Dingxing was too embarrassed to go out to see people. It
was not until the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion sent something that Zhu Dingxing had to go out to meet the guests.
Seeing Butler Wang, Zhu Dingxing asked helplessly:
"What are people saying about Zhu Xuntao, the rebellious girl?"
When there was no spring color and no vitality, Zhu Xuntao actually held a spring banquet?
The heavy snow at the end of last year, must it have entered Zhu Xuntao's mind?
Butler Wang had a complicated expression, taking several breaths, and then he said:
"Today, when the Madam and the eldest daughter returned from the Marquis's Mansion, there was a glass peach blossom ornament beside them."
