Tang Baozhu's words were so sweet that not only did she feel uncomfortable hearing them, but even Yong Xingchen shuddered.
"Speak properly and don't cause trouble."
He placed the box he was holding directly on the table, opened it, and saw that it was piled high with silver notes, the top one being a hundred taels note.
Even if they were all denominations of one hundred taels, they would add up to a lot, not to mention that it seems there are more than that, and the denominations below should be even larger.
"Wow, so many!!"
Tang Baozhu pretended to be very surprised, just to satisfy Yong Xingchen's liking for seeing her surprised.
Actually, I have plenty of money in my own space, more than I can use up. I don't really care whether it's a lot or a little. I just want to save a little more for my children in the future.
"You're really capable, sir. The shop has only been open for a month and you've already made so much money. I imagine you'll make even more over time. You're truly the best. You can do anything with ease. You're so capable."
Although Yong Xingchen was quite happy to be praised, he felt rather ashamed. After all, without the recipe for the pearl, no matter how capable he was, he wouldn't have been able to earn so much money.
“Baozhu is the real hero, after all, you came up with the prescription. Don’t worry, we’ll keep all this money for you, consider it your private savings.”
Yong Xingchen felt that Baozhu had treated him too badly by becoming his mistress without any betrothal gifts, formalities, or even allowing his mother to drink the "daughter-in-law tea." He decided to give her all the money he earned in the future as a form of compensation.
At first, I didn't feel that way. I just thought I had found a beautiful woman who suited my taste. But as my heart slowly fell for her and I cared about her more and more, I felt sorry for her.
I felt that I hadn't given her enough and wanted to give her all the good things in the world.
He couldn't give her the things from the Marquis's mansion, but he didn't want the money they made from their business partnership. He had never lacked money anyway, and he owned many shops and estates, so he would leave those to Baozhu.
Anyway, it's all going to be kept for my son, so it doesn't really matter who has it.
"Xingchen, are you really going to put all your money with me? Won't you feel like you're getting the short end of the stick? After all, you've been working so hard for so long, and in the end, I'm the one who gets all the credit. Won't you feel bad about that?"
Tang Baozhu was really curious about what he was thinking.
Since he handed over all those hundreds of thousands of taels of silver so easily, wasn't he even a little tempted?
Yong Xingchen's expression didn't change at all. "The Yong family's ancestors followed the founding emperor in conquering the country. They were among the first batch of generals to enter the capital and obtained more valuable things than you can imagine. So don't worry about me being short of money. Your little bit of money is nothing to them."
Yong Xingchen didn't care about those hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at all, and she wouldn't mind even if she received that much every month from now on.
Because the Marquis's mansion was already wealthy enough, with an unimaginable amount of precious antiques, they didn't care about these vulgar things at all.
Upon hearing that the Yong family ancestors were among the first generals to lead troops into the capital, Tang Baozhu understood why they didn't care about so much silver, because they received much more in return.
The previous dynasty was corrupt, and even the officials were mostly bad people. The first batch of generals who entered the capital confiscated a great deal of property from the homes of officials, and the good things they obtained were beyond their wildest imagination.
If Tang Baozhu knew that this silver was actually considered vulgar by Master Shizi, she would definitely say that she wasn't afraid of being vulgar, and that she should give all the silver to him because she liked vulgar things.
After confirming that the young master was not joking, Tang Baozhu did not stand on ceremony with him. "Since you said you would keep it for me, then I will keep it for now. Anyway, it will be kept for our children in the future."
“Keep it. I’m not kidding. Anyway, I don’t usually spend much money. The monthly allowance from the Marquis’s manor is enough for me. Not to mention, I have shops and estates under my control. I can’t even spend all the money.”
Tang Baozhu quickly took out the silver notes from the box, ready to count them carefully and see exactly how much silver there was.
Her eyes lit up when she counted the banknotes; she was incredibly greedy. She loved the feeling of having income, only taking in and never giving out, just like a Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring wealth).
Looking at Baozhu like this, Yong Xingchen also found her quite adorable, especially the way her eyes shone as she counted the silver notes. It seemed he should bring her more good things; he figured she would like them.
Then he was secretly calculating his private treasury. He remembered that he had a box of various gemstones in his private treasury, including turquoise, emeralds, sapphires, and more, all of which were of good quality. It seemed that he would have to go back to the Marquis's mansion tomorrow to get that box of gemstones.
I think she would like it if it were made into jewelry.
After Tang Baozhu finished counting, she found that it was more than she had imagined. She was just over a thousand taels short of two hundred thousand taels of silver. She was overjoyed. This was just the beginning. She would have a steady stream of silver coming in from now on. It was indeed a recipe for time travel summarized by modern society.
After putting all the silver notes away, she quickly called the maid to bring up the food. She had been delayed for so long, and she wondered if the young master was hungry.
"Sir, you've been out on business all day and must be hungry. Let's eat quickly. We can talk about anything else after we finish eating."
Yong Xingchen quickly picked up his bowl, took the piece of meat that Baozhu had picked up, and said in a good mood, "Don't worry about me, I'll pick up whatever I want to eat. You're eating for two now, so just eat more."
"Okay, then you should eat more too. I'm hungry, so I'll leave you to your own devices."
The two of them remained silent for the rest of the meal, focusing on eating what was on the table. After finishing, they quickly rinsed their mouths and washed up. When they returned, the leftover food on the table had already been cleaned up.
Tang Baozhu sometimes felt that she actually liked ancient society. At least there were people to serve her. Although she couldn't kill people at will, it was still pretty good to have people to serve her.
They are much better than nannies in modern society.
Especially after being stifled for so long in the last world, equivalent to being stuck at sea for decades, she can finally have some fun and travel around in this world.
However, there probably wouldn't be time for the first 20 years. Only when the child grows up and is able to take over the position of the Marquis will there be time to ask the young master to accompany him on his travels.
