Chapter 76 Envy
Zhang Wei had been the chief steward of the Crystal Palace for so long, so he naturally understood what Yue Shu meant. He also wanted to protect them both, so he didn't say anything.
Zhang was a little surprised and envious:
"It's only been a short time, Yueyue, you are really capable."
She also knew that Yue Shu had only been with the old lady for a short time. She had known how to buy spiritual fields for herself before, and now she could even buy a house for herself.
A total of four hundred mid-grade spirit stones!
This little girl, I’m afraid the old lady will give her one or two new things when she is in a good mood!
This is too profitable, it's like a money tree that explodes gold coins one after another.
She sighed and looked lonely again. She thought of her precious daughter Tingyu.
Yueyue, a little palace maid, can now save money to buy a house just by serving the old lady.
But Tingyu is getting married now, and her dowry has to be supplemented by her own private money that she has scraped together, and it is gradually becoming more substantial.
But in the eyes of outsiders, the spiritual fields were the real dowry. Her husband was unwilling to understand how difficult Tingyu's future life would be, and only promised her 70 acres of spiritual fields.
How can this be compared with that of a little palace maid?
She wanted Tingyu to live in a wealthy family and lead a life like an official's wife without having to bow down to others.
The amount of the dowry determines the status of the married woman in her parents' home. She did all this just to give Tingyu face and not let others look down on her.
Although she thought so, she was also happy that Yue Shu was able to make so much money now.
She had always wanted to marry Yue Shu to her son Zhang Yu.
Therefore, Yueshu can earn more money, and after Yueshu marries Zhang Yu, their small family will naturally live a more comfortable life in the future.
"Houses outside Crystal City are naturally in short supply. If you can afford one now, act quickly."
"If you have any difficulties and need help, just go and find your brother Zhang Yu. Don't be polite."
Yue Shu remained calm and responded to Zhang with a smile, saying:
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. If I have any difficulties in the future, I will definitely go to Brother Zhang Yu."
Zhang Wei glanced at Zhang and said softly:
"You guys are in the Crystal Palace, so naturally you have to be united and help each other."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, stretched himself, and said:
"Well, it's getting late, let's all go and rest."
After Yue Shu asked her two elders and got their approval, she felt more confident about buying a house.
The two little girls held hands and chased each other back to the courtyard.
After the two little girls went far away, Zhang Wei's originally gentle face suddenly became gloomy.
At today's barbecue banquet, my daughter Tingyu was acting like a spoiled brat and refused to come out to eat. How rude of her!
His wife eagerly gave the best barbecued meat to her in-laws, but when the maid came back, there was not even a trace of the dish in her hand.
He didn't ask them to give him anything valuable in return, but wasn't it too much to give him nothing?
Reciprocity is the key. After all, he is a Confucian scholar, but he doesn't understand this principle. He is not even willing to show his appreciation!
Zhang Wei grew up with Long Jun, and he has a somewhat arrogant personality. It is really embarrassing for him to be looked down upon by others.
And there was one thing he couldn't understand. Although Zhang was just a housekeeper in the Crystal Palace and was far inferior to him as the confidant of the Dragon King, she was also accustomed to the world in the Crystal Palace. How could a little Confucian scholar from the dynasty make her so bewildered that she was willing to marry Tingyu.
Even if the emperor of Guyue Dynasty will rule the Heavenly Court in the future, that is still the Heavenly Court. It would be good enough for Guyue Dynasty to enjoy some of the benefits and become an empire. But how much of this favor can fall on a small Confucian scholar who has no fame and literary talent?
According to what Zhang herself said, she hoped that someone in the family could get rid of the status of a servant, but that was not the way to get rid of it!
Moreover, the Guyue Dynasty is a million miles away from the Heavenly Court of the human race in terms of location and status. This Confucian scholar doesn't even have the fame of the Guyue Dynasty, so how can the Zhang family still expect him to enter the Heavenly Court?
To say that he is a fool is putting it too lightly!
Instead of counting on this, it would be better to hope that Zhang Wei's bloodline can return to his ancestral lineage and ascend to become a true dragon immortal in one step.
He was already worried, and when he saw Zhang still looking dejected beside him, he became even angrier.
"Why are you looking so gloomy again?"
Zhang sighed and said:
"Now that Sheng Yanqing has become the fourth prince's capable attendant, I feel a little disappointed."
"I chose him at the beginning. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a good personality and good character. He is also capable and willing to work. If Tingyu had married him at the beginning, I would not have worried that the Sheng family boy would bully her."
"Besides, our two families have close ties. After all, you are his uncle, so you will naturally love Tingyu more."
"Ah, but it's no use saying this now. You don't allow it, and that little girl Tingyu doesn't like it. Now I have no choice but to give it to that scholar."
Zhang Wei sneered and said:
"Oh?"
"Isn't that scholar a perfect man that you think is worthy of your daughter?"
"Why do you feel regretful now that you see the Sheng family kid is so promising?"
"And now you have no choice but to give it to that scholar? You are still being picky."
Zhang made a bitter face and said:
"I don't have any regrets, but I think it's not easy for a little scholar to climb up."
"Not to mention, we don't know if he will just stay where he is in the future. When will he be able to enter the human race's heaven and become a high-ranking official?"
"How many more years of suffering will we Tingyu have to endure with him before we can win a wife with an imperial decree?"
When Zhang had not yet gotten engaged to the Confucian scholar's family, she was afraid that they would look down on her. But now that the marriage was set in stone, she was so overwhelmed by the scholarly and noble family that she could not bear to hear anyone say anything bad about the Confucian scholar.
Now seeing that Sheng Yanqing has a bright future and is loved by noble people, if he does not make any mistakes in the future, things will only get better and better.
He had only been with the Fourth Prince for a few days, but he had already bought himself two hundred acres of spiritual farmland without saying a word.
It is unknown how many years it will take for the Confucian scholar's family to succeed in life. If Tingyu had married Sheng Yanqing, they would not be so worried now.
After all, Sheng Yanqing has no elders around now. If Tingyu marries him, she can directly become the hostess and take charge of the backyard.
Zhang Wei felt very sarcastic in his heart. His wife was so greedy that she wanted to marry Tingyu to whichever family was better.
