Chapter 70: Giving away all the jewelry in his possession
Ye Qianning suddenly thought of what Aunt Sansan and Aunt Huaihua had said, asking Aunt Mudan to give a gift to the Master -
So this is what 'giving a gift' means!
"What are you all doing?" Xiang Minghou took a deep breath and asked slowly, without getting angry.
"Ahem... What can we do? We just haven't seen the Master for many years, so we came to visit." Hua Qiao coughed and pretended to be calm.
"Visiting? Is this how you visit? If this gets out to the deceased, won't people say our general's mansion is barbaric and has no rules?"
"Well, originally we and Mudan had a good visit, and we even brought gifts. General, look, these are the gifts we brought." Hua Qiao said as she hurriedly opened a pile of colorful boxes at her feet, which were filled with gold and silver jewelry.
"All of this was collected by my aunt and uncle. We just wanted Pang Tuan to have a good education. But the teacher didn't appreciate it and said that our Pang Tuan hadn't been to school since he was six years old and wouldn't be able to get into Loushan Academy." Shaoyao poked her head out from behind the door, her expression becoming more and more angry as she spoke.
"He still despises us Fatty. If it weren't for our sisters' help, he would have been a bag of bones by now. How could he still be a teacher in Loushan?" Mudan snorted at the teacher.
Ye Qianning looked at a pile of gold, silver and jewelry. There were some gold hairpins that she had seen several concubines wearing a few days ago, and there was also the jade bracelet that the third concubine was still wearing on her wrist yesterday.
She had only been with the concubines for a few days, but they actually gave away all their jewelry as gifts so that she could go to school. Why did she do this? It would be a lie to say that she was not touched.
Even if they were your companions and partners in the previous life, the first thing they would consider when helping you would be their own interests.
A warm current flowed through her heart and rushed to her nose. She thought she was not a sentimental person, but at this moment, her nose felt a little sour.
Xiang Minghou was about to reprimand her, but his arrogance completely vanished when he saw the pile of jewelry. He had not been in Kyoto City for these years, and although he was nominally a concubine in the mansion, he did not make much money according to his monthly salary.
Even if he had made military achievements at the border, the rewards from the court would not have reached his mother and the second son given their personalities. So much money must have been saved for many years.
For the sake of Fatty, they were all taken out——
"Hmph, a rotten tree cannot be carved. How can a good child be raised with concubines like you? Don't even think about spending the day in Loushan Academy!" Master Song was rescued. He took a few breaths and became furious.
"How can you talk like that? What's our behavior? Why do we care about our children?"
"That's right. Our child has been well-educated by Fourth Wife. You haven't even met him yet and you're slandering him like this. What kind of teacher is this? I think you're just putting on an act."
"You said at the beginning that you owed us sisters a favor. If we need you in the future, you will definitely help us. How can you, a great teacher, not keep your word?"
The peony and the clever peony exchanged words, and every word touched Master Song's spine.
"If I say no, then it's no. If you continue to make trouble, I will report it to the emperor and let him make the decision." Master Song was tormented enough and he would not compromise no matter what.
"you……"
"Okay, all of you go out first." Xiang Minghou suddenly spoke, bent down and put Ye Qianning down.
"General." Mudan was dissatisfied.
"go out."
The three concubines were still humming and humming with dissatisfaction on their faces, but they were afraid of getting angry with Marquis Ming. When they passed by Ye Qianning, they bent down and held her little hand, and then they went out reluctantly.
