Chapter 321 This stupid woman, she's hiding it so well.
Eleventh day, auspicious for marriage, inauspicious for burial.
As the Lantern Festival approaches, preparations are already underway in Yushui City.
Some businesses have even started promotional activities, and some shops have already begun setting up.
Every day, people who go out to work return to Yushui City to celebrate the festival with their families.
Prices always increase during holidays.
Therefore, after breakfast, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but lean close to Xiao Zhao and say, "Sister Xiao Zhao, can you lend me some money to buy groceries later?"
Hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Lin Shiyin looked at Qu Feiyan and said, "Did you lose all your mahjong again last night?"
Upon hearing the voice, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but feel frustrated and said, "I won quite a bit at the beginning last night, but for some reason, I went to the outhouse in the middle and when I came back, my luck took a sharp turn for the worse. I kept winning against three different people, and by the end, I had no copper coins left."
The further she spoke, the more distressed Qu Feiyan's expression became.
The most painful thing in the world is to lose all your money after playing cards.
If we were to add something even more painful, Qu Feiyan just discovered that she had lost all the money she had saved for grocery shopping last night.
Fortunately, both Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin have always been quite loyal and righteous.
Seeing Qu Feiyan's predicament, Xiao Zhao, after washing the dishes, took Qu Feiyan directly into her room.
After lying down, Xiao Zhao first pulled out a three-foot-long box from under the bed.
When the box was opened, it was found to contain neatly arranged silver coins, with even a few folded silver notes on top.
Qu Feiyan and Lin Shiyin, who were standing next to her, stared wide-eyed.
"There must be over a thousand taels of silver in here, right?"
Hearing Qu Feiyan's question, Lin Shiyin glanced at the box and said, "Including those silver notes and gold, it should be more than that, probably three thousand taels."
However, considering the identities and wealth of the jellyfish Yin Ji, Lian Xing, Yao Yue, and Dongfang Bubai in their home, Lin Shiyin and Qu Feiyan felt relieved.
What lingered in my heart was envy.
Qu Feiyan couldn't help but mutter, "In just over a year, Sister Xiao Zhao has become so rich."
Hearing this, Lin Shiyin said irritably, "You deserve some credit for this too."
Upon hearing these words, Qu Feiyan felt as if she had been shot in the chest, a dull and uncomfortable sensation.
Even as her gaze swept over the money inside the wooden box, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but wonder which of it she had contributed.
Before Qu Feiyan and Lin Shiyin could linger on the box full of money for long, Xiao Zhao, who had opened it, said, "Oh, wrong, it's not this box."
As she spoke, she closed the box and pushed it inside. To Qu Feiyan and Lin Shiyin's astonishment, another wooden box was pulled out from under the bed.
Upon seeing the box, Qu Feiyan exclaimed in surprise, "When did you get a second box?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao thought for a moment and then said, "It seems so, about half a year ago! One day, Fei Yan and Sister Lin, you two overslept, and I bought breakfast on my way out."
Upon hearing that Xiao Zhao had acquired the second box around six months prior, Qu Feiyan and Lin Shiyin's lips both stiffened.
Immediately afterwards, when Xiao Zhao opened the second box and saw that it was already eight-tenths full, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her chest.
Lin Shiyin, who was standing to the side, also raised her hand and squeezed her rather empty wallet.
Afterwards, Lin Shiyin and Qu Feiyan exchanged a glance and suddenly had the idea of quitting gambling.
A moment later, looking at Lin Shiyin and Qu Feiyan, who came out of the room with somewhat resentful expressions, Lianxing couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why do you two look like that so early in the morning?"
Upon hearing Lianxing's question, Qu Feiyan pondered for a few seconds before suddenly smiling and beckoning to Lianxing.
"Sister Lianxing has something good to show you."
Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Lianxing couldn't help but curiously move closer.
Before long, the number of people who had been looking depressed had increased from two to three.
Looking at Xiao Zhao, who was now holding clothes and acting as a laundry maid, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Although the Yihua Palace is a large and wealthy family, Lianxing wouldn't care about such a small amount of money.
But when Lianxing thought about how she had contributed a portion of the money Xiao Zhao had saved up in those two boxes through her own efforts, she felt both surprised and depressed.
In the end, he could only ask the Water Mother Yin Princess to go out and vent his frustration by fighting.
Seeing Lianxing's unhappiness, Qu Feiyan and even Lin Shiyin suddenly felt much better.
They picked up their shopping baskets and headed outside.
However, it was already the rainy season, even though the sun was shining brightly in the morning.
But by noon, it was already drizzling.
Without the sun to shine on him, Chu Qinghe could only place the recliner under the eaves.
While playing chess with Lianxing, I petted a cat, sipped tea, and enjoyed the rain.
Meanwhile, the jellyfish Yin Ji continued to diligently cultivate her inner energy, secretly accumulating strength for her upcoming ascension.
However, just as the courtyard was filled with the aroma of food, a carriage slowly drove in from the north of the city.
The one driving the carriage at this moment was Sang San Niang, one of Dongfang Bubai's confidantes in the Sun Moon Divine Cult.
"Master, we have arrived at Yushui City."
