In the carriage
"Wen Huaian, you said that I came here specifically to collect four taels of silver as a small change. Will someone laugh at me for being so greedy that I wouldn't even let go of four taels of silver?" Tang Cheng asked, holding his chin while looking at the crowded entrance of the gambling house through the car curtain.
Wen Huaian smiled and said, "Don't worry about what others think. Four taels of silver may be dispensable to us, but it is about half a year's expenses for an ordinary family, so it can't be said to be a small amount of money."
"I thought so too. When I get the silver, I will use it to buy buns and steamed buns for alms. Four taels of silver can buy a lot of buns and steamed buns." Tang Cheng had already made arrangements for the destination of the four taels of silver.
She had traveled all over the capital and eaten a lot of snacks, so she was quite familiar with the prices. A meat bun cost only three cents, one tael of silver was one thousand cents, and four taels of silver could buy thousands of buns.
This is not small money.
We can’t let the ruthless gambling houses get away with it.
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion has a special charity shed where the buns you buy can be put together for charity.
Wen Huaian raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"You have the final say on what to do with the money you win."
Tang Cheng was very happy to get Wen Huaian's support. She pulled Wen Huaian excitedly out of the carriage and went into the gambling house to get the silver despite everyone's strange looks.
Manager Liu was slightly surprised to see Fourth Miss Tang coming in person.
"Young Madam can actually send someone to get the money. Sihai Casino will not embezzle your money."
Tang Cheng waved his hand: "I believe in the reputation of Sihai Casino. I have nothing to do anyway, so I came here in person."
Which young lady would be so idle during the New Year's Day
Miss Tang Si is an exception.
Manager Liu glanced at Master Wen who was standing calmly beside him, his mouth twitched, and he respectfully handed over four taels of silver.
Tang Cheng took the money and left happily.
While Tang Cheng sent people to buy steamed buns for donation, the news that she personally went to the gambling house to take out four taels of silver quickly spread.
As Tang Cheng expected, there were indeed many noble ladies who were envious of Tang Cheng's pregnancy again and mocked her for being such a petty person and greedy for money, not even letting go of such a small amount of four taels of silver.
Then…
Tang Cheng was labeled as stingy, miserly, money-grubbing, petty, not presentable, and unfitting to be a wife.
The emperor in the palace was speechless for a long time after hearing these rumors. Tang Si really did what he wanted and didn't care about his reputation and image at all.
This year has been really interesting.
The emperor was in a very good mood as he looked at the two hundred taels of silver on the dragon table.
"I thought too much before. I didn't expect Tang Si to just get involved for fun!"
A small action was speculated by all kinds of people, and finally affected the odds, and even he, the emperor, was led into a ditch.
The emperor burst out laughing.
Eunuch Fu: “…”
"Miss Tang Si always does things as she pleases, and cannot be viewed with common sense."
They are overthinking it.
"That's true. Tang Si is simple and honest and can still have children. It's a pity that Xiao Si and Tang Si are not destined to be together."
The emperor felt extremely regretful, as it was clear that Tang Si first fell in love with his fourth son, but in the end he was snatched away by the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The emperor did not know at this time that if Liu Jintong had not been reborn, according to the original trajectory and fate, Tang Cheng would marry the Fourth Prince and have several children. Even if she died young, her son would still ascend to that position.
Unfortunately, there is no if. Liu Jintong was reborn, and Tang Xin, who was familiar with the plot, came across. The original Tang Cheng was tricked into giving up her life to reincarnate, and she was replaced by Tang Cheng from the future with a fertility value of zero.
Everything has changed.
…
Tang Cheng didn't care after hearing what Zhenzhu said about the messy rumors outside and the extra labels on her. Duke Zhenguo and Wen Huaian also ignored them. The guests who came to pay New Year's greetings would not mention this matter in a rude way. Tang Cheng had a very nourishing and comfortable New Year.
The whole person looks rounder.
Tang Xin was completely stunned when she saw Tang Cheng like this.
Rumors are more ferocious than tigers. Tang Cheng has gained weight! She has gained weight!
How broad-minded you must be!
Tang Xin, who had come excitedly to comfort Tang Cheng, left feeling quite disappointed.
After the New Year, the wife of the Duke, Min, returned to the nunnery, and the Duke of Zhenguo and his son Wen Huaian began to attend court.
Tang Cheng took over the responsibility of housekeeper again.
It hadn't snowed for several days, and the weather cleared up, the ice and snow melted, and it was even colder than when it snowed.
While handling the affairs of the mansion, Tang Cheng stayed at home to take care of her pregnancy and Dabao, and also prepared for Dabao's hundred-day banquet in advance.
Unexpectedly, I received one wedding invitation after another.
Tang Cheng: “…”
She casually picked up the wedding invitation sent by Duke Qi's Mansion and said speechlessly, "Young Master Qi is getting married in May. It's only mid-February now, and the Lantern Festival hasn't even passed yet. Is it necessary to send it so early?"
Pearl was silent for a while, then said, "The wedding is still more than two months away, it's getting late."
Tang Cheng: “…”
"He sent me the invitation so early. He must have believed the rumors that slandered me as a money-grubber and petty person. He reminded me not to forget to prepare a dowry gift for his fiancée. It's so abominable that he didn't believe in my character."
Tang Cheng snorted unhappily.
"Look at these wedding invitations. The prince of Rong is getting married in mid-March, Tang Xin is getting married in April, and the prince of Dingbei, Su, is getting married in June. They are all getting married this year, but they sent their wedding invitations so early. They must be afraid that I won't give them a dowry!"
Tang Cheng felt a pang of pain when he thought about the huge amount of money he would have to spend to give out several dowry gifts and wedding gifts this year.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has been giving various gifts for more than ten years, and they still have to give them now.
Tang Cheng touched her flat belly and looked at Dabao who was sleeping soundly. It seemed that she would have to work hard to have a baby to make the money back.
Not only does she have to work hard, but Dabao also has to work hard.
The corner of Pearl's mouth twitched. The young lady's train of thought was really unique.
"Miss, in fact, most of the wedding invitations of aristocratic families are sent out two or three months in advance, unless it is a hasty marriage. As far as I know, the wedding invitations of Prince Rong were sent out before the New Year. Miss, you just received it now, only because you are in the capital."
So it’s really not what the lady thinks!
Tang Cheng: “…”
So she was overthinking it
On second thought, Tang Cheng felt justified again. She still owed others a dowry gift, so it was normal for her to think this way!
That night, after the two of them bathed and lay in the warm bed, Tang Cheng said to Wen Huaian in frustration, "Wen Huaian, you say our Zhenguogong Mansion is in such a bad situation. Not only are there so few people, but there are no grandfathers yet. We can't even hold a birthday banquet to receive gifts. We can only rely on me to give birth to a baby to receive gifts. It's too miserable."
Wen Huai stroked Tang Cheng's smooth hair, tilted his head and kissed her face: "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"
"I received a bunch of wedding invitations and various party invitations!" Tang Cheng said sullenly while playing with Wen Huaian's big hands.
After receiving the invitation, I will prepare a generous gift even if I don’t go.
This is human relations.
Required.
Even though it hurt, Tang Cheng still had to send it.
Wen Huaian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and comforted her: "Tang Tang, you can think of it this way. In the past, the Duke's Mansion gave out gifts but never received any. Now that we have you and Dabao, at least we can receive gifts. You are a great contributor to our Duke's Mansion!"
