The man's eyebrows jumped, and he flicked his finger on her forehead, "How do you talk?"
"Didn't you say before..."
Chu Li just raised his voice, looked around quickly, lowered his voice, and whispered: "Are you saying you are corrupt and taking bribes?"
Shouldn't corrupt people be more low-key in their conduct?
"..."
Is there any need for him to embezzle while sitting in this position?
His fiefdom paid taxes every year and he had countless shops under his name. She actually believed what he said about corruption.
This girl must be confused in her head.
"Even if I am greedy, I cannot let my little Jiu down."
"Huh? Me?"
He hooked his long arm around her neck and held her under his armpit. "Since you like Jiangnan, I will buy more things to take back so that you won't miss it. Besides, these clothes, jewelry, books, beds, tables and chairs are all things you need, so you can't be careless."
Chu Li asked in a low voice:
"But isn't it too far to transport it back from Jiangnan?"
"If I don't let them do anything, then the people under me will just be getting paid for nothing. Wouldn't that be a huge loss for me?"
He is right.
So it seems that the emperor's uncle still cares about her.
"It's a waste of your money all of a sudden."
"It's okay. I've lived a simple life over the years and have saved a lot of money. If I don't spend it on you, who can I spend it on?"
"but……"
Chu Di Chi Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked deeply at the black head in his arms.
"Xiaojiu, how much private money do you have left?"
“I haven’t calculated it carefully.”
Chu Li counted on his fingers, "I originally had 25 small gold bars, and I gave eight to the Eight Vajra Kings. I bought two houses and spent three of them... on maids, clothes... food, clothing, housing and transportation..."
Calculated for a moment.
"I have nine small gold bars left."
"Flowers so fast?"
Chu Dichi was unconvinced, "Emperor Chu has loved to reward you since you were young. You have saved up the gold bars for more than ten years, and you have spent two-thirds of them in just two or three months?"
Could it be that he kept it secretly?
Chu Li thought about it:
The song sung by Master Lan Yuan at Yunyao Theater is so moving that it makes you dream about it. Let's enjoy it.
Master Yunfeng of Wushuang Theater is an excellent zither player, and the lingering sound is enjoyable.
Mr. Lin from Laifeng Teahouse’s storytelling was exceptionally brilliant and was a real treat.
The Playboy in the Theater...
Suddenly meeting the man's inquiring gaze, she felt a chill down her spine and her expression became serious: "Because I eat the best fish and meat every day, I eat the best ingredients, and live in the best house, so naturally I spend money quickly."
Can.
Chu Di nodded late:
"Save your private money and spend mine later."
Chu Li was surprised, "This... isn't good, right?"
"What's wrong with that? You and I are already husband and wife. I will be responsible for you. Deposit your small gold bar in the bank, and I will give you the key to my private vault."
"Xiao Jiu, listen to me. Private money is a woman's confidence. You must save it well so that you can have more options in the future. Do you think you have to spend your money to be with me? Isn't that an insult to me?"
Chu Li bit her lower lip lightly.
What he said made sense, but she didn't expect him to be so generous and considerate, and to consider every aspect for her.
Although he said so, a woman should be self-reliant and she would not take his things for nothing.
She kept one small gold bar on her as pocket money, and deposited the other eight in the Wei family bank.
Chu Dichi held the thin stub of receipt between his fingers, his thin lips slightly raised.
Wei Family Money House.
very good.
From now on, no matter where she went in Da Chu, even in another country, as long as she moved this stub at the Wei Family Bank and withdrew money, he would be able to find her!
"Come on, let's go shopping."
"Ah, you're buying more? That's too much, right?"
"Not much at all. I'm happy buying things for Xiaojiu."
-
At night, Chu Li looked at the "trophies" that almost filled the entire lakeside cottage, and stood there stupidly, watching Chu Dichi arrange Chong Feng and Jing Ying to pack them up and bring them back to the imperial capital.
Xiao Yexing leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms, and shook his head:
"Women dress up to please others, while men become poor if they please themselves."
The old saying is true.
Fortunately, he did not marry, so he did not have such worries.
The next day.
Set off back to the capital.
Chu Aotian in the imperial capital was deeply moved when he received the news. He had been waiting anxiously for his uncle to finally come back.
Not only did the emperor's uncle leave the capital, he also took Governor Xiao with him.
He felt insecure when they were not around.
He really can't live without Governor Xiao!
After receiving detailed information and confirming the whereabouts of the emperor's uncle, Chu Aotian left court early in the morning and immediately rushed to the city gate with several officials to prepare to welcome the emperor's uncle.
"This time, I have to play the victim... No, I have to let the emperor's uncle know that I don't have the talent to govern a country, and I'd better let me go... No, no, no, I have to show that I'm trying my best and working hard. Maybe the emperor's uncle will be satisfied and show mercy..."
He clapped his palms expectantly and paced back and forth.
"Why haven't we seen the Emperor's uncle's team yet?"
He stretched his neck and looked eagerly.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Stuck on the road?
He had already prepared his words:
Wait, as soon as he saw the emperor's uncle's team, he rushed up, hugged his horse's legs and cried loudly.
The uncle will definitely ask with concern:
"Xiao Ba, why are you crying?"
He just wanted to complain: "Uncle, they bullied me during the time you were away from the capital! I really don't have the talent to govern a country. I am just a foolish and incompetent prince. The country of Chu will definitely be ruined in my hands!"
"During the morning court session the day before yesterday, my nephew scolded Sima Lincheng, but Sima Lincheng eloped with the governor of Xuancheng!"
