Chapter 273 The Moon Shines on Both Ends
The moon is bright in the sky and the evening breeze is cool.
Because there was no bad custom of "making trouble in the bridal chamber", most of the guests had left at this time and the courtyard was quiet.
A big red "囍" character is pasted on the window paper, which represents the auspicious meaning of "wood and fire are bright".
The wooden bed was surrounded by red gauze curtains and covered with a red brocade quilt. The hall was lit by dragon and phoenix candles, and spread out on a felt mat with wedding characters on it. The stove was filled with the incense of cassia.
In the charming and ambiguous atmosphere, Wei Changtian looked at the thick stack of banknotes in front of him, then looked at Xu Qingwan's nervous and sincere expression, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, how much silver is here in total?"
"Two, two thousand three hundred and fifty taels"
Xu Qingwan was obviously very clear about how much wealth she had. While giving the answer, she fumbled out a small purse from her bosom, opened the purse towards Wei Changtian, and added in a low voice:
"Here are eight ounces of silver."
“.”
Wow! Xu Qingwan is so rich? !
Wei Changtian opened his mouth slightly, indeed a little surprised.
Two thousand three hundred taels may not be a big deal to him, but it does not mean that the number is not large.
On the contrary, for any ordinary citizen, this is an amount that they will never see in their lifetime.
Even if Xu Qingwan is the general flag of Xuan Jing Division and earns more, she shouldn't be able to save so much money!
"How did you save so much money?"
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Wei Changtian asked in confusion: "This is equivalent to the salary of a general flag of the Xuanjing Division for fifty years."
"this."
When it comes to "making money", Xu Qingwan's eyes suddenly light up and she stops stuttering.
"I get three taels of silver every month, and I don't spend much money on weekdays. Add to that the bonuses I get from the department in spring and winter, and I can save more than fifty taels of silver every year!"
"If I have nothing to do on weekdays, I will do some odd jobs like guarding the house and helping children with pulse diagnosis. I can earn 10 to 20 taels every year from this."
"Well, actually, before I met you, I only saved up less than 500 taels, but after I met you, I saved up a lot faster!"
"I can earn fifty taels each time I teach you martial arts."
"When we were at Zhang's house, you gave me two gold ingots, a total of four hundred taels."
"I went to Nanling County to kill the rat demon, and you gave me a demon pill. Well, I'm not willing to sell it."
"And you sent me three hundred taels when you wrote to me."
“.”
One by one, one thing after another.
Xu Qingwan counted on her fingers carefully how she had saved up the huge sum of more than two thousand taels, her eyes full of excitement.
As Wei Changtian listened, he found that Comrade Xiao Xu's expression suddenly began to become depressed, his voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end he sounded like he was about to cry.
"Um?"
Wei Changtian asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
"I, I"
Xu Qingwan raised her head, looked at Wei Changtian with tears in her eyes, and choked with sobs, "I, I'm fine, I just suddenly realized, wow, wow, it turns out that most of the money I earned was given by you."
"Hahaha, there's nothing to cry about."
Wei Changtian felt amused and advised softly, "I don't mind spending this little money, so you don't have to feel embarrassed."
"Hmm?"
Xu Qingwan wiped her tears and muttered softly: "I, I'm not embarrassed."
"Then why are you crying?"
"I, I just feel a little sad."
"Feeling bad?"
Wei Changtian became more and more confused: "Why are you so distressed?"
“.”
Comrade Xiao Xu hesitated a bit, but finally gave an honest answer.
“I could have saved a lot more money.”
"But, but now that I'm married to you, I won't be able to make money this easily anymore."
"???"
Will there be no more easy money to make from now on?
Are you feeling sorry for this?
Is this human language???
Wei Changtian was speechless for a while. After a long while, he snatched a stack of banknotes with a mixture of anger and laughter, and threatened in revenge: "Since you just said that you would give me all the money, I will take it away!"
"Um"
Xu Qingwan didn't seem reluctant, she just nodded innocently, then gently pushed the small purse forward and reminded in a low voice.
"Here, there are still eight taels."
“.”
Seeing Comrade Xiao Xu's reaction, Wei Changtian was completely speechless.
By the way, what kind of train of thought does Xu Qingwan have?
They value money so much that they want to earn even their own money, and they will even cry if they cannot earn money in the future.
But when he threatened to take away all her property, she did not resist at all.
Isn't this contradictory? Wei Changtian thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
But he couldn't really deprive Xu Qingwan of her only hobby of "saving money", so he handed the banknote back dejectedly.
"Here, I'll give it back to you."
"ah?"
Xu Qingwan was stunned: "You don't want it anymore?"
"Well, no."
Wei Changtian curled his lips and said, "I don't lack money now, you save it for me first, and I will ask you for it if I am short of money someday."
"Okay!"
Comrade Xiao Xu burst into laughter immediately, hurriedly took the banknote and put it in order carefully. When he looked up again, he found that Wei Changtian did not seem to be in a very good mood.
"What's wrong with you?"
She gently pulled the latter's clothes: "Did I do something wrong?"
"nothing."
Wei Changtian poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he realize that Xu Qingwan was looking at him eagerly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"What happened again?"
"Changtian, we haven't drunk the acacia wine yet."
"Oh, yes."
Wei Changtian smiled and nodded. As he was pouring the wine, he suddenly remembered the wedding night with Lu Jingyao. Then he thought that he had not "conquered" the latter until now. It must be said that this villain was too unsuccessful.
Now that the Liu family is finished, will Lu Jingyao soon be "released" from the ban and allowed to come to Shuzhou?
If she really came. "Changtian, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Qingwan's call suddenly rang in my ears.
"Well, let's think about what we should do after drinking."
Wei Changtian calmed down and answered half-jokingly.
“.”
Xu Qingwan's face turned red. She knew that she couldn't escape today anyway, so she had to pinch the corner of her clothes and squeeze out a few words like a mosquito.
"Let's drink first."
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Changtian instantly became energetic. He immediately stuffed a glass of wine into Xu Qingwan's hand and picked up another glass for himself.
After drinking, they throw the cup and the flower crown under the bed, and then close the cup one by one, which is called auspicious, and then they close the curtains.
The red wedding tent was covered with clothes, and even the extremely luxurious wedding gown was thrown casually on the ground.
As for the wedding tent. "Changtian, you."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"You, you pressed my hair."
"Oh sorry. What now?"
"Okay, okay."
“.”
Capital city, Wei Mansion.
"Madam, what are you doing in the yard so late at night?"
"Look at the moon."
"I'm afraid she's missing you again."
"Who's missing him? Qiuyun, do you think my husband is also looking at the moon now?"
"Madam, you know about the heavy rain in Shuzhou. How can you see the moon?"
"Maybe it will be sunny today?"
"Even Master Tianqing must be asleep by now, so Madam, you should go to bed quickly too!"
"Humph! Qiuyun, you are so unromantic!"
Lu Jingyao tightened her robe angrily, turned around and followed Qiuyun into the house.
But just before entering the door, she turned back to look at the bright moon and muttered something softly.
"My husband should think of me sometimes."
