Chapter 239 Going Home for the New Year
"Daya, do you have any boiled eggs? Hurry up and take some out so your dad can look good."
Yun Ting thought to himself, it doesn’t matter whether he loses face or not, he is going to be exiled anyway.
Daya handed the boiled egg to Lu Qiniang.
Lu Qiniang handed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan didn't answer.
Lu Qiniang could only fight back herself and said, "Are you speechless? Who is this? Didn't you fight back? Were there many people hitting you alone?"
"I went to the Marquis' Mansion." Xiao Yan said.
Lu Qiniang was stunned for a moment, then she understood.
Come to think of it, how many people are there who can attack Xiao Yan?
Xiao Yan had said before that he would take back his 500 acres of land and give it to Daya as a dowry.
The talks broke down.
Well, who would be willing to pay from their own pocket?
What's more, this dad was not a good person from the beginning.
If she were to say, Xiao Yan shouldn't go back.
Just treat it as food to be fed to the dog and never have any contact with it again, so as to avoid getting angry when you see it.
"Xiao Yan, I will give you six thousand taels of silver." Lu Qiniang said.
This was the best comfort she could think of.
If you have money, you can buy land.
"You already know everything about that family, why are you still going there?" Lu Qiniang couldn't help but grumble, "Okay, he's your father after all, so the slap you received was in vain. Okay, okay, let's eat."
Xiao Yan remained silent, and his silence made Lu Qiniang feel uneasy.
He didn't say anything, and Lu Qiniang felt uncomfortable.
Lu Qiniang secretly went to Daya and said, "Daya, your father listens to you. Can you go and persuade him?"
Daya shook her head and said, "Mom, I can't comfort my dad in his current state of mind."
If you are not loved, you cannot be comforted by a few words from others.
"Arya?"
"I can't do that either. Mom, you go by yourself," Erya said. "Aren't you two a couple?"
"Sanya?"
San Ya went out to play and is not at home now.
Lu Qiniang was extremely worried.
She has already given Xiao Yan six thousand taels of silver, but he is still not happy. What should she do?
She is more useful than money!
"Mom," Daya sighed when she saw her frown, "My dad just wants a warm home. You can persuade him to look forward to the future. We still have you and us. We just need to take care of our own little family."
Lu Qi Niang: “…”
How could she say that?
She originally wanted to buy a house and sleep separately from Xiao Yan, but then she thought that it would be more effective to separate Xiao Yan.
Besides, it’s not a solution for Xiao Yan to always stay in her house.
Delay him more.
However, Xiao Yan has already been abandoned by that family. If I talk about separation now, it would seem like I am driving him away.
Forget it, let’s talk about it after this period of time.
The carriage from the Duke's Mansion came to pick Yun Ting up to go home for the New Year.
Yun Ting said, "Isn't this only twenty-eight? Wait, let me pack my things."
He prepared gifts for everyone in his family.
No matter the price, it’s a token of your thought.
Those who like him will naturally appreciate it.
He doesn't care if people don't like him or don't appreciate his kindness, he just treats it as feeding the dog.
Seeing this, Erya also went to help him clean up.
Seeing Erya still unhappy, Yun Ting asked her, "Are you still thinking about the five hundred taels of silver? I'm not saying anything harsh, but what do you, a little girl, need so much silver for? Even my sisters can't possibly come up with that much cash all at once!"
"I want to do business." Erya said in a low voice, "I want to open my own rouge and powder shop."
"Open your own shop?" Yun Ting was surprised. "How old are you? You actually want to open your own shop!"
"It's not like I haven't done this before. Besides, I can read and do arithmetic now. I also understand those things. I think I can do it." Erya looked unwilling. "I have to find a way to get some money and open a shop."
"If I lose money, you'll cry to death."
"Pah, pah, pah, I won't pay you any money!"
"Then let me ask you, what if? If you lose money, will you cry, make a fuss, or take your anger out on others?"
"You can't do anything you said!" Erya said angrily, "I even helped you pack your things, but you can't spit out ivory."
"You can't spit out ivory, but you can spit out silver." Yun Ting threw a silver note to her unhappily, "Take it. Don't cry when you pay me back. I don't like to see you crying."
Erya looked at the one thousand taels of silver, and her face was happy at first, but then she hesitated, and finally shook her head: "Forget it."
"Why let it go? You really change your mind at any time." Yun Ting was speechless.
"My hands are shaking," Erya said. "I know my mother won't give me five hundred taels of silver, so that's what worries me. But if she really gave it to me, I wouldn't dare to accept it."
She is only worth a few silver coins, how dare you spend hundreds of taels of silver to try?
Not to mention, Yun Ting spent one thousand taels.
Although the 1,000 taels of silver are tempting, it is someone else's money and must be returned.
If you can't pay it back, you owe a debt of conscience.
"Look at your lack of ambition. Where's the energy you usually have when scolding me?" Yun Ting took her hand and stuffed the banknote into her hand. "I'm not giving it to you for free. If you lose, it's mine. If you make a profit, we split it 50-50. Consider it my investment."
Erya was obviously interested.
But one thousand taels of silver was too much for her.
My mother once said that one should carry a bowl as big as one's ability, but now she is not able to carry a bowl worth one thousand taels of silver.
Erya thought about it carefully and said, "How about this, Yunting, lend me a hundred taels of silver. One hundred taels is enough. I will rent a shop first and sell some cheap things. When I make money, I can slowly expand."
She had a dowry of two thousand taels of silver, and to lose one thousand taels would be like the sky falling.
But she could afford to pay back the one hundred taels, so she didn't feel too bad about it.
Just because Yun Ting is willing to give her money, she can't stop treating it as money.
Although they had a brief intersection and lived under the same roof, she couldn't get arrogant because of this.
Because in the end, they still have to return to their own worlds.
Yun Ting continued to spend money like water, while she continued to be frugal.
"Look, I'm really giving it to you, and you're still nagging." Yun Ting said impatiently, "It's all here. If you don't need it, just keep it for me. I'll ask you for it later when I need to spend money. I still have more than 3,000 taels left. I've decided to give 1,200 taels to my grandmother, 1,000 taels to my grandmother, and 800 taels to my father. The rest will be used as New Year's gifts for the younger generation and to reward the servants. It should be enough."
Just wait and see if he brings back more than three thousand taels, double the amount.
He didn't know why he had to explain in such detail, but he always felt a little guilty for only giving Erya one thousand taels.
"Then, did I really take it?" Erya said.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Yun Ting called people in, and seven or eight servants in green clothes came out one after another carrying boxes and cages. Yun Ting himself followed them out.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around, his wide sleeves billowing in the wind, giving him the demeanor of a wealthy young master. He bowed and smiled brightly, "By the way, Zhuozhuo, I wish you a happy new year."
The vermilion lacquered door frame framed Erya's light apricot figure, with fine snow still on her temples.
She leaned against the door and looked at him, her eyes charming and smiling: "Yun Ting, see you after the New Year."
