Despite the scolding, Fu Yi still said that he would go to the southern border to find out what his mother said about the matter, and asked Ye Wanqing not to worry.
Ye Wanqing nodded worriedly and asked what to do if her mother did not agree?
Fu Yiqian smiled and said, "Brother will do his best to help you anyway."
Looking at Fu Yi's gentle and doting attitude, Ye Wanqing felt that there was a high probability that this matter would succeed, and her uneasy mood relaxed a lot.
"However, Murong Yan is not as simple as you see. Sister, you have to be more careful and don't be fooled by him." Fu Yi couldn't help but remind Ye Wanqing.
"Well, thank you, big brother."
"Why are you thanking your own brother? If your family doesn't help you, who will? Don't thank me in the future. It's so awkward."
"Okay, brother, are you still going to Lucheng today? When will you come home to live?" Ye Wanqing smiled sweetly and spoke to him warmly.
"Well, wait a while. Once this deal is settled, I'll go home and spend some time with my sister."
Fu Yi took out a bank account card and asked with concern, "Sister, are you having any trouble living in the Marquis' Mansion? Is your pocket money enough? There is a hundred thousand taels of silver in here. I don't need to use it normally, so you can use it whenever you want to buy something."
Ye Wanqing stared at the bank account card in Fu Yi's hand with her mouth wide open. Shen Xu's elder brother was so generous that he gave her 100,000 taels of silver without blinking an eye!
"No, no, my usual pocket money is enough, and I also have the salary of the prince's tutor, which I can't spend at all. It's not easy for big brother to save some money, so you should save it for marrying a wife in the future."
Fu Yi smiled gently and replied, "Don't worry about that, little sister. It's easy for big brother to make money."
Ye Wanqing asked him curiously, "How much change does Big Brother have every month?"
Fu Yi replied, "Yes, the same as you, five hundred taels."
In fact, the monthly change of 500 taels is already the highest in the whole capital. Since Ye Wanqing became Chen Xu, she has saved more than 300 taels even though she spends lavishly on shopping on weekdays.
Shen Xu's small treasury already had nearly ten thousand taels of silver.
Ye Wanqing originally only had five taels of monthly silver and lived like a maid.
His father's annual salary was only three hundred taels, plus the family's ancestral land and property, the family's annual expenses were only about five hundred taels, which was very tight.
The family conditions were not good to begin with, and the mentally ill Ye Xueruo still insisted on spending lavishly on Murong Yao. Originally, they could definitely make ends meet relying solely on the family income.
But unfortunately...
Fortunately, someone did a good deed and returned the 300,000 taels of property to his father, which solved his urgent problem.
Ye Wanqing immediately thought of the headpiece with colorful butterflies and flowers, and felt warm in her heart.
It must be Murong Yan. He has been quietly supporting me behind the scenes. He says he can't help, but in fact he is always silently giving.
He was just like a butterfly flying through flowers while investigating a case. He must have helped solve the family's financial crisis.
Ye Wanqing thought about it and asked, "Then brother, didn't it take a lot of effort to save up these 100,000 taels?"
Fu Yi replied: "No, I can still earn some money every month."
Ye Wanqing then remembered that in addition to the pocket money given by his family, Chen Xu could also receive a monthly salary as the prince's tutor. Although it was only about ten taels, when combined with festival rewards and the like, it was a considerable amount of money when saved up.
"How much money can Big Brother make then?"
Fu Yi calculated carefully and said, "Well, not much, more than 30..."
"That hundred thousand taels will take a long time to save. I don't want it. Big brother, you should keep it for yourself." Ye Wanqing interrupted him immediately and pushed the household name card into his arms.
One hundred thousand taels is a huge sum of money for most people, and it can even buy a nice house in the capital.
"Ten thousand taels." Seeing that Ye Wanqing refused to accept the money, Fu Yi frowned and replied, "About two or three hundred thousand taels. After deducting the daily entertainment expenses, I can save more than two million taels a year."
"Ah!" Ye Wanqing was shocked when she heard this.
Fu Yi answered truthfully, "I made a mistake in my calculations last month and lost 500,000 taels. My income will be lower, but fortunately I recovered a lot of it, so you don't have to worry about your brother having a hard time saving money."
"Five hundred thousand taels!" Ye Wanqing was stunned. Five hundred thousand taels! All the properties of the general's mansion added up to only seventy or eighty thousand taels, which was already a middle-class family in Yong'an City.
Young Master Fu lost 500,000 taels in just one business deal. That's like ruining an entire general's mansion with just a stroke of the pen!
The Shen Xu family's fortune couldn't be worth tens of millions of taels!
"Brother, I only know that our family is a wealthy businessman in the Southern Territory. How many businesses do we have?"
"I'm not sure about the exact assets, but there are probably only about seven or eight."
"More than 70 million taels!" Ye Wanqing took a deep breath. A few days ago, she heard the Grand Tutor say that the annual fiscal revenue of the Yanyang State's treasury was only more than 50 million taels. Did the Shen Xu family have more wealth than the national treasury?
Fu Yi whispered, "One billion."
"What?" Ye Wanqing felt that she must be hard of hearing. She thought ten million was the maximum unit, but she didn't expect to hear such an unfamiliar unit!
"Well, three years ago, the Ministry of Revenue compiled a list of the nation's richest businessmen, and I took stock of our family's assets. They found 50 million taels of silver, 10 million taels of gold, tens of thousands of acres of land, 3,000 houses, 2,000 shops, 20 ocean-going vessels, and nearly 100 ordinary cargo ships... That works out to around 700 to 800 million yuan."
Fu Yi said truthfully, "However, our business has expanded recently. In addition to the Southern Territory, we also have businesses in the Cloud Country, the North Sea Country, and the Bright Moon Country. In short, if my sister wants any rare treasures, I can help you find them."
Ye Wanqing felt that she had heard something extremely incredible. She only knew that Shen Xu had no worries about food and clothing, but she didn't expect that his family was so rich!
Wouldn't it be possible for Chen Xu's mother to shake the earth with just a cough?
Seeing Ye Wanqing's stunned expression, Fu Yi said earnestly, "So, sister, you must protect yourself and keep your eyes open before looking for a good match. Don't be fooled by Murong Yan's small favors."
Ye Wanqing listened in a daze. With such a family background, it would indeed be believed that anyone who wanted to marry her might be coveting her wealth.
That's why Shen Xu's mother asked her to dress up as a man!
But in this way, won’t Shen Xu be harassed by the girl?
Ye Wanqing looked at Fu Yi suspiciously, and suddenly realized that all the family wealth belonged to Fu Yi, and the girls would harass Fu Yi if they wanted to.
"Brother, since you are so rich, won't you be harassed by girls?"
"Yes." Fu Yi replied with a faint smile: "Then ask Murong Yan if there are any girls harassing him."
Ye Wanqing thought about it and felt that Fu Yi's words made sense, although she had never heard of any rumors about Murong Yan having been with any girl before.
We still have to observe Murong Yan.
Fu Yi stuffed the household card into her hand and said, "Okay, sister, just use it. If it's not enough, tell big brother."
