Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 662 Brothers and Sisters
Zhang Jie was about to take out the money when he was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

Turning his head to look, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought someone was going to rob him of his banknotes.To break free from Huo Xi's hand, he had to give the 50 taels of silver to the other party.

"What box costs 50 taels? Show it to me." Huo Xi said to the guy.

The guy was waiting to pick up the money with green eyes, when a spoiler came suddenly, a little annoyed.

But after seeing the girl's attire, he was not something he could offend, so he handed the ivory box that Zhang Xie liked to Huo Xi.

Zhang Jie wanted to grab him, but Huo Xi turned and staggered away.

"This is what I fancy!"

"I won't rob you."

"Humph."

Huo Xi picked it up in his hand and looked through it, it was indeed ivory, it was as big as a palm, and the carving was very detailed, very exotic.

"The box is a good box, but you want 50 taels. You are in this business, so you don't want repeat customers."

When the guy heard this, he stared anxiously, "Girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is a box from Fanwai. It's very expensive, and I don't have to worry about selling it."

The young master likes it so much that he has the bank notes in his hands, obviously he likes it very much.Who cares about making more money?
Where did this girl come from?

"Five or two."

"Hey girl, you are here to make trouble. Five taels? You can't even get in."

Seeing that the guy wanted to take the box back, Zhang Jie became anxious, "Give it to me, I'll buy it!" Pushing Huo Xi.

Seeing him holding up a bank note to give, Huo Xi pulled him out.

"What are you doing, let me go!"

"50 taels, are you so eager to be taken advantage of?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Huo Xi saw that his wallet was bulging, and he just took out a handful of bank notes to count, so he brought such a bank note when he went out?Where did the dandy come from.

"Let's go, I'll take you to pick the ones."

"I want that."

"Better than that and cheaper!"

Ignoring his yelling and dragging him away, the man chased after him and shouted, "Master, you can talk about the price!"

Huo Xi dragged Zhang Jie to Langguang Pavilion, and originally wanted to drag him to Guangfengshui, but the shop in Guangfengshui was a bit far away, so he refused to cooperate all the way, so he just found the nearby shop in Langguang Pavilion.

The shopkeeper of this shop recognized Huo Xi and welcomed them into the private room respectfully.

I heard that they want to see the boxes, so I offered all kinds of boxes in the shop for them to choose.

Wooden boxes, lacquer boxes, ivory boxes, jade boxes, those inlaid with mother-of-pearl, those covered with gold and silver, painted with enamel, flat, round, square, long, short... eyes.

He took a palm-sized ivory box: "How much silver is this?"

Langguang Pavilion, it's not like he didn't know that Zhang Yuning brought him here to empty out his money?
Hmph, anyway, if it's too expensive, he'd better not buy it.

"This..." The steward glanced at Huo Xi, "Young Master Xie, if you like, just take it."

uh... what do you mean? "No money?"

"Send it to Young Master Xie to play with."

Zhang Xie took a look at Huo Xi and snorted, not intending to appreciate it. "No money, I don't want it!"

"Just say a price, Master Xie has plenty of money." Huo Xichao smiled in charge.

"Then, Master Xie, please give me five taels of silver."

Five taels?It's not that he doesn't understand, this box is much better than the one he saw just now. "If you lose money, you can't ask me to go back."

The manager smiled: "We are businessmen, how can we do business at a loss."

Zhang Xie was satisfied, he bought it with silver, and it was not a favor he owed her.He took out a few gold and silver beans, paid the money, and put the box directly into his arms.

Huo Xi looked at the way he was taking out his purse just now, his eyes flickered.

The two of them each took a carriage and returned to the mansion.

Seeing Zhang Xie return to his yard, Huo Xi gave Hu Po a few words, and Hu Po turned around and left the house.

Zhang Xie went back to his yard, wiped the box, and finally found the things in the dark cabinet beside the bed.Carefully pulling off the strap of the purse, I emptied out the contents, and the twelve copper coins fell on the bed.

Zhang Xie counted them one by one, counting several times, and it was exactly twelve copper coins.

Carefully put them into the purse again, and then put the purse into the ivory box, and locked it with a small lock, looked at it several times, and then put it back into the dark cabinet.

Not long after, Amber came back.

"Concubine Zhang said that she will take care of the things left by Madam Wu to the third young master."

Huo Xi frowned.

Looking at Zhang Jie's generous appearance when he took out the money today, Huo Xi knew that he had a lot of money in his hand.How long can he use it like this?

Zhang Biyao is also relieved to leave everything to Zhang Xie?
"Concubine Zhang said, thank you girl, she didn't realize this before. I will find the third young master and help the third young master take care of it."

I'm afraid that the siblings don't have much trust in the people in the house.

However, according to the current situation, they really have no one available.

It is also impossible to entrust the second and third families to take care of the things Wu left behind.Dafang has two concubines, can their siblings find them?Mrs. Tai didn't speak up for Mrs. Wu, I'm afraid she won't gain the trust of Zhang Biyao's siblings now.

Well, let them go.

Seeing Zhang Mao come to her yard for dinner at night, he asked, "Are you in charge of the monthly money distributed by the mansion now?"

His nanny was in charge of it before, and everything in charge fell into the nanny's pocket.

Zhang Mao didn't understand, so he nodded: "Well, Maoer keeps it by himself. Does the eldest sister want to use money, Maoer brings it to my sister."

Huo Xi laughed, "How much silver do you have?" The monthly silver is only 20 taels.I don't have any of the ones I sent out before, and I copied some of them from the nanny, not much.

But there should be more than a hundred taels of silver.

"Mao'er has to take care of himself, but don't mess around, you know, like the dandies out there, it's not good to be extravagant, you know?"

The other young masters also have mothers and fathers. The young master and girl in this big house, the mistress is gone, and there is a father, who is not at home yet.

"Well, Mao'er keeps it, don't spend it indiscriminately."

"Good boy." Huo Xi praised him.

I also thought of Bizhu Biyue who was preparing the dowry, and Qingchu who lost her mother in the third room...

"Xiangcao, go and tell the second lady, let her bring Bizhu Biyueqingchu and the others with her every morning when she handles government affairs, and teach them the skills of managing a household."

The second lady nodded in agreement with Huo Xi's words.

I also called someone to talk to the young ladies, and decided to call her Jing Wan Jing Shu as well.They are all twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, so it's time to learn some skills of managing a household.

When Qingchu got the news, she specially asked the girl to give Huo Xi some handkerchiefs that she made herself.Sure enough, the eldest sister who is also motherless can understand her situation.

Yunnan, Shuixin Nunnery.

When Yu received the letter from Mu Yan Kuaima, she was stunned.

She has no relationship with this heir, just general.He is not recorded in his own name.But now there are only the two of them in Dafang, and they are still mother and son in name.He also sent people to greet him during the New Year and holidays.

It's not a festival, why did you write a letter to yourself?
