Chapter 57 The nephew is worthless
Qiuyue waited until Nanny Li accompanied Madam Sun to leave before she said with dissatisfaction:
"Miss!"
"These fabrics are so old-fashioned, how can they be used to make clothes for girls?"
Qiuyue has seen good things now.
The Yongjing Marquis's Mansion gave Zhu Xuntao the latest and most expensive fabrics, and these fabrics were all taken care of by Qiuyue.
Look at what the Marquis's Mansion sent, and then look at what my wife sent.
Qiuyue really wanted to say that what my wife sent today was simply garbage.
So, how could my wife have the nerve to send such things?
Zhu Xuntao pinched Qiuyue's face: "Don't be unhappy."
"The patterns of these fabrics are a bit old, but the materials are all good materials and can be exchanged for a lot of silver."
"You know how much monthly silver I have received over the years. All of these are compensation for me."
Dislike it?
How could she dislike it? They are all good things that can be exchanged for money.
Qiuyue tilted her head: "All sold?"
Still the same as before?
"Sold."
The pattern is really ugly, and it has not formed a closed loop of fashion trends.
It can't be worn, so it must be exchanged for small coins.
"You know that your young lady is short of money, very short of money."
Qiuyue snorted:
"I don't know. The Marquis's Mansion has given so many good things, how can the young lady be short of money?" The
young lady was short of money before, but the young lady is not short of money now.
Zhu Xuntao's face changed slightly:
"We can't touch the things given by the Marquis' Mansion. The only things I can touch are those given by the Zhu family."
"Be good and listen to me."
Qiuyue nodded: "Your servant will listen to me."
This was not the first time Qiuyue did such a thing. There were people outside to help, so she handled it very quickly.
Within a day, all the things sent by Madam Sun were exchanged for cash and fell into Zhu Xuntao's hands.
The prince told Xiao Jingzhan about the situation:
"Jingzhan, is Zhu Xuntao so short of money?"
If the sale was so clean, wouldn't Zhu Xuntao be afraid that Madam Sun would bring up the past and she would have no way to explain to Madam Sun?
Xiao Jingzhan frowned:
"Taotao doesn't have any big expenses."
Zhu Xuntao doesn't even go out, so she can't spend money even if she wants to.
Since this money can't be spent, how can Zhu Xuntao be short of it?
"You are about to get married to Zhu Xuntao, shouldn't you pay attention to her?"
The prince kindly reminded Xiao Jingzhan:
"Zhu Xuntao is short of money, but you are not."
The prince is a respectable man, and he is really not used to Zhu Xuntao's poor expression.
Madam Sun is the elder, it doesn't matter if the relationship is not good, and it doesn't matter if the things are not good, just throw them aside and don't care.
It's all sold, it's embarrassing no matter how you look at it.
"I am willing to give it, but she may not be willing to take it."
Xiao Jingzhan said Zhu Xuntao's thoughts in one sentence.
"The Marquis' Mansion has brought so much betrothal gifts, and they have 10,000 taels of silver in cash."
As long as Zhu Xuntao wants to use it, just take it, and their Marquis' Mansion will not care.
In short, with Zhu Xuntao's brain, she can find more ways than difficulties to use this money.
But Zhu Xuntao is useless.
So Xiao Jingzhan has reason to believe that even if he puts the money in Zhu Xuntao's hands, Zhu Xuntao will not touch it.
Faced with Zhu Xuntao's persistence and principles, Xiao Jingzhan is angry and loving, and thinks how can there be such a contradictory woman in the world.
"Okay."
The prince is even more helpless with Zhu Xuntao than Xiao Jingzhan.
Looking at Zhu Xuntao like this, the prince couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't insist on letting Zhu Xuntao enter the East Palace as his concubine. He
was used to being flattered by women, and he was not used to worrying so much about a woman.
"Zhu Xuntao's... these are all minor problems." He didn't
care, so he didn't look at them.
"But what is this evil star playing at again?"
"The sisterly love is really not suitable for her and Zhu Xuntao, and they don't act like it."
Xiao Jingzhan tapped his fingers on the table:
"Taotao can handle it."
Zhu Xuntao saw through the table full of calculated delicacies. The things sent by Madam Sun were really nothing wrong except being old.
So, there is nothing to worry about.
The prince narrowed his eyes slightly: "Jingzhan, I have handed Zhu Xuntao over to you."
"Others don't know how important Zhu Xuntao is to the world, but I have never hidden it from you."
"Don't betray the trust I have placed in you."
Zhu Xuntao and Zhu Yingyan are definitely not just a matter of quarreling over the favor of the daughters of the noble family.
"I understand."
Xiao Jingzhan smiled bitterly. The matter, which was not simple to begin with, became more complicated because of the hexagram of Master Mingdeng.
The prince told Xiao Jingzhan to protect Zhu Xuntao well, and there was someone who often mentioned Zhu Xuntao's name to Xiao Jingzhan.
Xiao Yuanqi looked at his grandson who was running around chasing a white kitten, and then looked at his nephew Xiao Jingzhan with a look that said "you are useless":
"How long has Zhu Xuntao not come to the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion?"
"Taotao will be married soon."
Xiao Jingzhan explained.
They are getting married soon, but they always ask Zhu Xuntao to come to the Marquis' Mansion.
People who know will think that the Marquis' Mansion values Zhu Xuntao, while people who don't know will think that Zhu Xuntao is in a hurry to get married and try to get close to her husband's family.
"Because you and Zhu Xuntao are getting married soon, you have to visit each other and keep in touch."
"You and Zhu Xuntao have been engaged for many years, but if you think about
it, you are not very close." "Without saying anything else, my second uncle just wants to ask you one thing, how long have you known Zhu Xuntao? How many sentences have you said to each other? Can you count them?"
Xiao Jingzhan: "..."
Speechless.
Because...
I can really count...
"Tell me yourself, do you two look like someone who is engaged? What's the difference between you and strangers?"
"My dear nephew, you are a man, you should take the initiative when necessary, don't tell me you are shy?"
Xiao Jingzhan: "..."
Xiao Yuanqi still felt it was not enough, and poked Xiao Jingzhan's heart:
"My dear nephew, tell your second uncle honestly, have you given some small things to Zhu Xuntao to please her for a long time?"
Xiao Jingzhan: "..."
No.
Xiao Yuanqi: "..."
"Not at all, no matter if it is worth it or not." Xiao Yuanqi did not give up.
The answer to Xiao Yuanqi was a dead silence.
Xiao Yuanqi was so angry that he slammed the table, and he was so angry that he could not make a promise:
"Fortunately, Jingyu is not a blockhead like you, and he is very pleasing to his daughter-in-law."
"If he was like you, I'm afraid Chenliang wouldn't know where he is today!"
"Grandpa?"
Xiao Chenliang, who was chasing the kitten, heard his name and ran over with a silly smile. He hugged Xiao Yuanqi's legs and laughed so hard that his saliva was dripping.
"Good boy."
Facing the cute little grandson, Xiao Yuanqi's anger disappeared.
Touching the chubby grandson's round face, Xiao Yuanqi's heart softened.
In order to protect his little grandson, he broke his eldest nephew's legs when he made Zhuxun angry and ran away!
"You are better than Jingyu in every aspect, but when it comes to pleasing women, you are really not as good as Jingyu."
"Second uncle advises you, if you still want to get married, go and ask Jingyu for advice."
