My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 81 A gift from Hidden Sword Villa

At midnight, the rain cleared.

At the last moment, Li Tianxin gave Yulu to Bai Feifei.

After all, Ruyi Huancui is a maid in the common room, not a side room. It is impossible for them to get wet and dew, unless Bai Feifei is pregnant, then they will get their turn.

Li Tianxin thoughtfully carried Ruyi and Huancui back to their separate bedrooms, but he caught the four girls in the room who were listening in the middle of the night.

Seeing the four girls standing in a row in front of him with their heads bowed, peeking at him with their faces flushed with embarrassment, Li Tianxin shook his head with a smile, but said nothing.

Using the method of gathering sound to form a line, he told them to serve Ruyi and Huancui tomorrow morning, then went straight back to the master bedroom, hugging Bai Feifei, who was very tired and already drowsy, and fell asleep.

……

The next morning at six quarters, Bai Feifei woke up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Li Tianxin, who was lying next to her with his head propped up and looking at her with a smile.

"Good morning, ma'am."

Hearing Li Tianxin's words, Bai Feifei smiled, stepped forward and pecked him on the lips, and said, "Good morning, husband."

Li Tianxin hugged her gently, and the couple were affectionate for a while. Bai Feifei suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "What time is it now?"

Li Tianxin said: "There are about two quarters until noon."

Bai Feifei's face changed slightly, and she quickly stood up and said, "Why didn't you wake me up? You still have to serve tea to your adoptive father?"

But Li Tianxin still smiled and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, my adoptive father will not blame you."

Having said that, Li Tianxin didn't stay in bed anymore. He called Ruyi Huancui and asked them to ask the servants to bring hot water and prepare to take a bath and change clothes.

Zhu Mansion has a boiler room designed by Li Tianxin, with hot water supply at all times.

Ruyi Huancui had gotten up half an hour ago, and they had already finished washing themselves under the care of the four girls.

Waiting for the master to bathe and change clothes, scrub the master's body, and make the bed are the duties of the maid in the same room. Other maids are not qualified to do these things.

Although Ruyi Huancui was slightly unwell, the impact was not significant. They usually had nothing to do and had plenty of time to rest.

At five quarters in the afternoon, Zhu Fugui finally drank the tea served by his daughter-in-law and happily gave away the correction fee.

Afterwards, it was time for a small banquet. Li Tianxin accompanied Bai Feifei and was led by Zhu Fugui to serve tea to relatives from Zhujiazhuang.

After the small banquet, Li Tianxin took Bai Feifei back to the bedroom, took out a key and walked to the corner.

Bai Feifei looked carefully and saw an inconspicuous keyhole in the corner.

Li Tianxin inserted the key and turned it. A wooden floor next to it suddenly sank downwards and then slid aside, revealing a cellar entrance.

Li Tianxin handed the key to Bai Feifei and said with a smile: "Feifei, all my property is stored in this cellar, and you will be in charge of it from now on."

Bai Feifei took the key, smiled sweetly, and nodded to him.

Letting his wife take charge of the family's finances has been a man's highest gesture since ancient times.

Moreover, Bai Feifei no longer has a natal family, and has no one else for her to spend money on except a group of subordinates, so she will not have any problems in taking charge of the family's wealth.

Li Tianxin lit the candles, took Bai Feifei down to the cellar, and lit all the candles on the candlesticks around the cellar.

This cellar is about fifty or sixty square meters and about five feet high. There are more than twenty large wooden boxes placed against the wall in a circle around it.Li Tianxin pointed to the boxes on the east and south sides and said: "The boxes on these two sides contain all banknotes. I don't know how many there are in total. It's probably no less than 20, and they are all red tickets."

Then he pointed to the box to the west and said: "In the box here, there are some cash and stock deeds, real estate, shops, land deeds, etc. that belong to me. I don't know the specific value, but there are a lot of them anyway."

Even though Bai Feifei didn't value money, her heart couldn't help but twitch when she heard this number.

20 red tickets, that's [-] taels. This is just the living money that belongs to Li Tianxin alone, not counting other assets. So how much money should the adoptive father of the richest man in the Ming Dynasty have?

Bai Feifei swallowed and said slightly absentmindedly: "I once heard that a hundred years ago there was a richest man named Shen Wansan, who had a family fortune of 20 yuan. Everyone said that his adopted father was richer than Shen Wansan..."

Li Tianxin smiled and nodded: "Yes, the wealth in my adoptive father's name is probably no less than 30 taels."

Bai Feifei was suddenly worried, "Shen Wansan is so rich that he can rival the country, but he still can't stand up to the emperor's edict. If he says his house will be confiscated, he will confiscate his house. If his adopted father is so rich, will it be possible..."

Li Tianxin hugged her slender waist and said with a smile: "You are overthinking. Shen Wansan's house will be confiscated because he helped Taizu's enemy Zhang Shicheng when he was conquering the world."

"Because of him, Zhang Shicheng stayed in Gusu City for eight months, during which he lost countless soldiers and horses under Taizu's command."

"After the city was destroyed, although he immediately surrendered to Taizu, he paid no hesitation to reward the three armies for Taizu, which was suspected of buying the morale of the army."

"This obviously violated the emperor's taboo, which made Taizu Longyan furious. He wanted to kill him, but it was Empress Ma's intercession that saved him from death and ordered his family to be confiscated and exiled."

After telling Shen Wansan's story, Li Tianxin said to her: "My adoptive father is different. Although my adoptive father is very rich, he still cares about the court and the royal family. However, if there is any profit, the court and the emperor must share it."

"And the foster father is smarter than Shen Wansan. Even if he has to work for the army, he will not directly pay the sergeant money. Instead, he will give the money to the emperor and let the emperor reward him in his own name."

"In this case, what reason does the emperor have to touch his adoptive father? After all, the emperor also understands that a long stream of water is better than a drained lake."

After listening to Li Tianxin's words, Bai Feifei finally felt relieved and nodded: "That's good, but do you want me to count them out and create an account book?"

Li Tianxin smiled and said: "Why bother? When there is too much money, it will become a bunch of meaningless numbers."

"No matter how much you spend, you can't spend it all, and you will receive a large sum of money every year, and there will be more and more in the future. Why bother?"

When Bai Feifei heard this, she stopped thinking about it. She had no idea about money anyway.

With her existing wealth, she didn't know how to spend it all to the limit of her imagination, so why bother with it anymore?

Because he was about to go on a long journey, Li Tianxin casually opened two boxes, took out a thick stack of red tickets and a thick stack of blue tickets, and gave them to Bai Feifei to take with him as expenses on the road and some necessary expenses.

There is no need to withdraw cash, because there is still some in the cash cabinet in the bedroom.

Then the two of them left the cellar, returned to the room above, and began to count the gifts sent by the guests this time.

When Li Tianxin saw the gift from Hidden Sword Villa on the gift list, he couldn't help being surprised.

He hurriedly dug into a pile of gifts and pulled out a sandalwood box about four feet long, one foot wide and half a foot high.

When he opened the box, he saw two ancient long swords, and above the two swords, there was a roll of silk.

After unfolding the silk and reading the contents recorded in it, Li Tianxin couldn't help but sigh: "Hidden Sword Villa really spent a lot of money. It's not easy to repay this favor."

Bai Feifei took the silk in surprise and looked at it, and was also secretly speechless. These two swords were exquisite pieces that could not be exchanged for any amount of money. He never expected that You Canglong could be so courageous.
