Miss Fang Liu's mouth became stiff from smiling as she finally sent off the group of elders and girls of the same age who came to congratulate her.
After a whole day of tiring, even a man made of gold would probably melt. The maids and old women hurriedly prepared porridge and side dishes according to the instructions from their superiors to fill their girls' stomachs first.
Then there was porridge and side dishes, but there were seven or eight kinds of porridge and more than ten kinds of side dishes. Miss Fang Liu did not even pick up her chopsticks, but kept asking the maid to go to the front to ask her mother: "Go and see if mother is back!"
She was very anxious, but the older maids had no idea what she was thinking and thought she had something important to do, so they kept ordering the people in front to hurry up.
She leaned against the bed, holding the stove, and frowned as she asked someone to take the food away. The sweat on her palms dried up when the fire heated them, but then came out again. She couldn't help but throw the stove aside.
My heart is still shaking.
She had never seen so many banknotes in her life, stacked one by one according to the emblems of different banks...
He couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Why would Princess Duan send so much silver to his family for no reason
She was thinking so much that her head was hurting, and she was no longer determined. She had been holding on all day, but today she couldn't hold on any longer. Her teeth were chattering, and after a while she heard someone outside say that the eldest lady had arrived.
When Madam Fang arrived, she immediately instructed the maids and servants, "Change the clothes for the Sixth Miss, and have dinner in the old lady's room tonight!"
She couldn't control herself, and kept telling her daughter to stay calm, but she herself almost couldn't hold the wine glass outside.
Such a large amount of silver was more valuable than the entire Fang family combined. No matter how dumb she was, she knew that Princess Duan must have sent it for a reason. She had been waiting for a long time. When all the guests had been sent away, she immediately had someone wake up the drunken master with cup after cup of cold tea, and then told Master Fang everything.
Mr. Fang was dazed at first, but after drinking cup after cup of cold tea, he felt a stomachache. He covered his stomach with wet towels again. This time he finally woke up. When he heard what Mrs. Fang said, he was so shocked that his beard stood up. He suddenly turned over and sat up straight on the bed, staring with wide eyes and asked, "Really?!"
Mrs. Fang was afraid that he would not believe her, so she nodded vigorously: "Why would I deceive you? I just used the excuse of adding to the dowry. The banknotes are still in the box of the sixth girl! What should I do... Give me some advice..."
No matter how courageous she was, she knew that she couldn't handle this matter alone, and the entire Fang family had to bear it.
Master Fang did not call for the servants. He put on his shoes and socks in a hurry, and was ready to go out without even having time to put on his outer coat. He also ordered her: "Go quickly! Move the sixth girl... and her trunk to mother's room, and tell her that mother couldn't bear to leave her, and we will have dinner together tonight."
Mrs. Fang responded and hurried to find her daughter. She made up an excuse and said that the old lady was waiting for another thick thing to be given as a treasure, so she took the box over and hurried with her daughter to Mrs. Fang's room.
Old Mrs. Fang was trying to get people out of the house. She was tired today and wanted to rest early, so she set the table half an hour earlier than usual. However, she didn't expect that before she could even clean up, her son came to her in a hurry and asked her to send all the servants out first.
She didn't know what it was for at first. When Madam Fang and her daughter walked into the room, she looked at the mahogany box with a picture of a hundred children celebrating spring and frowned, "What does this mean?"
Was he robbed
Master Fang didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly sat down next to Old Lady Fang, held her hand, and told her everything about the silver note and the land deeds and house deeds that Princess Duan had given her today.
Mrs. Fang was still unable to react. She stared at her son in a daze. After a long while, she asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"
The Fang family had been impoverished for two or three generations. The best life she had ever lived was after her daughter became the queen. But even so, the family could not have had 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in cash - how could that be possible
The Fang family only has that much ability. Although they are a prominent family, they have no promising children. Master Fang is just a sinecure. Even if people want to curry favor with them and show them filial piety, they don't have many ways to do so.
The most money in the Fang family's account was no more than 30,000 taels of silver.
Now, when she heard that Prince Duan spent more than two million taels at once, she was still shocked - she couldn't calculate how huge the amount was.
Master Fang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He gestured to her, but felt that he couldn't make it clear. He got anxious and said directly, "It's more than the wealth of a hundred Fang families combined! He gave her so much!"
This time, Mrs. Fang heard it clearly and understood it. Her eyes rolled around in her eye sockets and she uttered the same question as before: "Why?"
After all, she has a daughter who is the queen, so Mrs. Fang is not that stupid.
Since you have so much money, why give it to others
There has to be a reason, right
But even though the Fang family is a royal family, it has been so many years and Prince Duan has never been so attentive to them. If it is for the little prince, there is no reason for him to give such a valuable gift.
The little prince is still a baby. What is there to curry favor with
What is it all for
Master Fang was silent for a moment, then he made up his mind. He looked at his mother and said after a pause, "No matter what the reason is, at least the silver has been delivered to us."
I have never seen so much silver before. Although it is the Queen's family, I have never been exposed to much benefit. Instead, I have been worried for a long time.
There are expenses everywhere in the house, and all you can do is keep up appearances.
At this time, Jiancang made such a fortune. What was Guan Duanwang trying to do? He had to satisfy him.
Old Mrs. Fang was not as fearless as her son. She frowned, looked at her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter one by one, and asked, "Do you want to ask your brother-in-law what he thinks..."
Among the daughters who got married, except for Queen Fang, the only one who could establish himself was Mrs. Chen Fang. Her husband was a man of foresight, insight and advice, and Old Lady Fang still remembered this.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by so much silver
But you have to be able to accept it. It was sent to you without any clear reason, and we don't even know what the other person wants. If it is really something that cannot be done, can you really swallow the silver
If you swallow it, you'll probably end up with a stomachache, so it's better to be safe.
