"We are going to the border this time. Do you have that much silver with you?" Yuchi Ziling asked.
"You're silly! Didn't you go back to Jiang's house? I got it from Jiang's house." Jiang Hai said with a smile.
"Is that enough? How about I talk to Mom and ask her for some? That should be fine.
I heard that a small manor would cost at least four or five thousand taels. I don’t even think about a big one because it would be ridiculously expensive.
We just gave her eight hundred taels, and she should have two or three hundred taels of her own. If she asks her mother for another thousand taels, how much more do we need to add to make four thousand?
Let me calculate, wait a minute..."
Yuchi Ziling thought about this matter very seriously, gesturing with her jade fingers like a fortune teller.
He stared at his fingers blankly, blinking from time to time.
Jiang Hai thought his wife's expression was so funny that he had a hard time holding back his laughter.
Then, after two minutes, she still didn't figure it out. Oh no, it turns out she's still a math idiot.
Just when Jiang Hai wanted to tell her the answer, Yuchi Ziling happily calculated it and said with a smile,
"Haha, I figured it out. If she still has 300 taels left, she still needs 1,900 taels."
I can only say that the eldest daughter's sense of smell for money is really appalling, not even a little bit worse than her younger sister's.
She probably forgot that Jiang Hai used silver notes to wipe her hands at the literary meeting.
After the calculation, he asked Jiang Haidao,
"Jiang Lang, is nineteen hundred taels enough for us?"
Jiang Hai couldn't help laughing so hard that his shoulders trembled.
He took his wife's hand, put his purse on it, and said,
"Look, here it is. We've been married for so long, but I never thought of bringing you some money. I'm sorry for neglecting it."
Yuchi Ziling blinked. She had never thought about this. She had everything she needed, so it seemed like she had no place to spend money.
When she opened her purse, the young lady was shocked.
I had thought the waiter's purse in Xincheng was exaggerated before, but when Jiang Hai opened his purse, there were no less than ten thousand-liang silver notes, and a similar number of hundred-liang silver notes and some gold leaves.
"Ah, this, this, this must be a lot of money." Yuchi Ziling couldn't figure it out for a while, so she asked, "Is it for me?"
"Yes, take Shuang'er to the dental clinic tomorrow and find a manor. If you think it's suitable, buy it. If it's not enough, tell me."
"How can it not be enough? Just don't buy the big one."
"Don't worry about the size, what matters is the fit. In this low-cost area of the capital, you can look around and buy whatever you want. If you don't have enough, just tell me or ask Wenzhi for it."
"Low-cost area?"
Yuchi Ziling's mouth twitched. Is this what people say? In her impression, the capital city has the highest consumption. Of course, the ranking list was refreshed after going to the new city.
"Yeah, the consumption level is not even half of that of the new city. Isn't it a low-consumption area?" Jiang Hai said calmly.
Yuchi Ziling frowned and said, "So, according to you, what are Taihe City and Nanzhou City?"
“It’s a poor area.”
“…”
Well, the eldest lady finally understood that she had married a very rich man. She only knew that he was quite rich before, but now it seems that he is not just rich.
According to his calculation, except for the capital, the entire Darong area is a poverty-stricken area.
Just as Jiang Hai asked her to take her sister to look at the manor, Yuchi Ziling asked doubtfully,
"Why don't you go see the manor together?"
"The door is blocked by someone, and I don't know how long it will take to be unblocked." Jiang Hai shrugged.
"That won't work. You paid for it, so why don't you go and see it? You can wait until the storm is over before going. I told Shuang'er to go and see it in a few days."
"Okay, that's fine. I haven't really looked closely at the configuration of the manor here."
After the couple finished talking, Yuchi Ziling left the yard and went to explain the matter to Yuchi Shuang.
When Yuchi Shuang heard her sister say this, she instantly became full of energy.
In this way, it will be certain that she will be able to open a poetry club with Su Yanan, and the manor will be her dowry, so she will be a rich woman when she gets married.
I was so happy that I hugged my sister excitedly and kept saying thank you.
Yuchi Ziling didn't stay with her for long before going back.
The next day.
Yuchi Shuang went out early to the Su Mansion to find Su Yanan.
The two tasks I took on were completed very smoothly and I was in a very good mood.
After entering the Su Mansion and seeing Su Yanan, Yuchi Shuang told her what her sister had said last night about visiting the manor.
Su Yanan was very surprised. She originally thought that finding a mansion in the capital city with two or three thousand taels would be enough, and she had never thought about a manor.
"Did you say you would go to the dental clinic in a few days?" Su Yanan confirmed with her.
"Yes, my brother-in-law has had so many people wanting to invite him these past two days that he has been hiding in his house and dares not come out."
"Indeed, as the leader of the literary society, naturally many people want to make friends with him."
Su Yanan nodded in response, and at the same time thought to herself that this was a good idea. She didn't have to go find Jiang Hai herself. When they went to see the manor together, she would talk to him about the third prince.
Yuchi Shuang saw that she was lost in thought and noticed that her eyes were a little swollen, so she said with concern,
"Sister Yanan, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Su Yanan was brought back to her senses by Yuchi Shuang's words and quickly said,
"It's okay, it's okay. I just didn't sleep well last night. I just need to get some more rest."
She didn't just not sleep well. She was so angry with her father that she couldn't sleep all night and gave her such a good job.
Yuchi Shuang chatted with her for a while, and said that when Jiang Hai was able to go out, she would send someone to inform him and make an appointment to go to the pharmacy.
Then he left and returned home.
Su Yanan sent Yuchi Shuang out, watched her leave, and then returned to her own yard.
Along the way, thinking about what Yuchi Shuang had just said, I couldn't help but become more curious about Jiang Hai.
…
A few days later.
The turmoil at the literary gathering gradually subsided.
There were no people blocking the door of the general's mansion.
Jiang Hai never replied to anyone's invitation, and gradually no one sent him any more invitations.
That day, morning.
On the appointed day, Yuchi Shuang came to her sister's yard early. The three of them had breakfast together and prepared to go to the dental clinic.
Jiang Hai thought about it and decided to go to the Su Mansion with Su Yanan, so he didn't take the carriage and rode a horse instead.
"Let me ride with you." Yuchi Ziling said.
"Okay, come up, your husband will take you." Jiang Hai chuckled.
"I can just ride it myself."
The eldest lady still can't be as free and easy as Jiang Hai. She would blush if she showed her affection in public.
So, Cai'er and Yuchi Shuang got into Wenzhi's carriage, while Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling followed on horseback, and they all went out together.
After arriving at the Su Mansion, Su Yanan came out soon.
Looking at Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling on two horses, they are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Yuchi Shuang introduced herself to her, they exchanged greetings, and then got on Yuchi Shuang's carriage.
The carriage set off for the West Market. There were many pawnshops in the West Market, so it would be easier to find them.
In the carriage, Su Yanan was a little distracted. She was thinking about how to tell Jiang Hai about the matter later. It seemed difficult for her to start the conversation since he was taking his wife out.
