Chapter 67 Silver (Part [-])
Seeing that Mrs. Xue was shaking with anger, Mammy Cao couldn't help feeling complacent.

Glancing at the half-new clothes on Xue's body, and the neat Bu Yao on his head, the disdain in his eyes was undisguised.

At any rate, she was an official wife, her clothes were not as new as that of a servant, her hands were also bare, and she didn't have half a piece of jewelry.

One of her serving nuns had a pair of gold bracelets.

It seems that Madam is right, this Xue Mansion sounds like an official mansion, but in fact it is so poor that even mice don't bother to patronize it.

Seeing the contempt in Cao Mama's eyes, the cold light in Xiao Jinyue's eyes flickered away.

"Grandma Cao, did your wife really ask you to bring 200 taels of money from your private house so that my mother could ask my mother for advice?"

Hearing Xiao Jinyue speak, Mammy Cao instinctively felt her scalp go numb. This girl Xiao Er has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, she is really afraid of her.

Bite the bullet and turn her head to look, only to find that Xiao Jinyue's eyes were shining brightly waiting for her to answer, and the bright flattery in her eyes made her startled.

After recovering for a moment, I couldn't help feeling complacent, and at the same time, there was a sense of disdain in my heart, but for a mere 200 taels of silver, this second girl's attitude towards her changed drastically. The poverty of a few taels of silver.

Also, in a place like the Border Gate, there are constant battles all the year round, and foreigners come here to burn, kill and loot in two days. The people there are probably poorer than the people in the countryside, and they don't know if they can earn ten taels of silver all year round.

When I first heard that there were 200 taels, I couldn't be happier.

Seeing the complacent yet contemptuous expression on Madam Cao's face, Mrs. Xue couldn't guess what she was thinking.The teacup in her hand almost couldn't bear to throw it at her.

Xiao Jinyue held it down with quick eyes and hands, and smiled comfortingly at her mother.

Although Mrs. Xue didn't know why she kept blocking her, but remembering that her daughter had stunned this Madam Cao before, she finally suppressed the anger in her heart.

Seeing that Grandma Cao was still in a daze, Xiao Jinyue smiled flatteringly at her, "Mammy..."

Cao Mama was brought back to her senses, she held her head high and said triumphantly, "Naturally, our wife handed over 200 taels to me, I think it's true, all of them are silver ingots of twelve taels, and they are brand new. of."

Xiao Jinyue's flattery made her feel a sense of almsgiving, and she unknowingly referred to herself as me.

Xiao Jinyue, however, acted as if she hadn't noticed it, and kept asking, "Really, I wonder if Madam Cao can let me take a look. How is the silver used in the capital different from the one we use in the north?"

Her flattery pleased Cao Mama, "This is originally for you, so naturally you can see as much as you want."

Mammy Cao turned her head and waved to a little girl who was following her, "Hurry up and bring the money to the second girl."

Xue frowned, not knowing what her daughter meant, but she knew that her child would not please such a nanny just for 200 taels of silver.

Since Xiao Jinyue learned medical skills from her master, she often sees patients for free, and sometimes makes medicine from the precious medicinal materials collected by her master and gives them to patients for free.

Her master was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but her Yue'er didn't care, because in her eyes, human life was more important than money.

Thinking of the past, Xue quickly calmed down and decided to wait and see what happened.

The little maid with a double bun and a turquoise dress came over holding a brocade box with black lacquer and gold carvings of flowers and birds in both hands.

Cao Mama reached out to take the box, but Xiao Jinyue suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

For some reason, when Xiao Jinyue yelled, Mammy Cao suddenly felt a thump in her heart, and suddenly became uneasy.

But after thinking about it, she didn't find anything wrong, and she suppressed the uneasiness.

He asked Xiao Jinyue displeasedly, "What is the second girl waiting for?"

"Mommy, is there really 200 taels of silver in it?"

"Can it be fake? It's 200 taels of silver, but I put it in with my own hands. It can't be wrong!"

Xiao Jinyue stared at Cao Mama steadfastly, until her heart pounded, and the uneasiness that she ignored just now surged up again.

There was a moment of silence in the flower hall, and Xiao Jinyue suddenly smiled at her inexplicably, "Then please open the box and let me have a look."

The box in Mammy Cao's hand retracted instinctively, she suddenly didn't want to give the box to Xiao Jinyue, and consciously told her that there was something wrong with the box.

Seeing her holding the brocade box in a daze, falling into the eyes of the unknown maidservant in Tsing Yi, she thought she was reluctant to part with the 200 taels of silver.

That's right, after all, it's 200 taels of silver. Although Madam Cao is domineering in the mansion, the monthly silver is only two taels.

The 200 taels of vain money, in the eyes of people like them, is considered a huge sum of money.

Just gave it to the second girl Xiao, even she was very jealous in her heart.

It's no wonder Cao Mama is reluctant, but Mrs. Xue and the second girl Xiao are watching, and they have to give this money if they don't.

The servant girl quietly reached out and pulled the corner of Cao Mama's clothes, reminding her softly, "Cao Mama..."

Granny Cao came back to her senses, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Jinyue's half-smile eyes again, and her uneasiness grew.

She couldn't figure out what she was upset about. Seeing that everyone in the flower hall was looking at her curiously, she could only reluctantly pass the brocade box in her hand to Xiao Jinyue.

Xiao Jinyue didn't pick it up, and said to her with a smile, "Please ask Madam Cao to help open the box."

Mammy Cao clapped her hands, and said with a blunt smile, "Since the money is for you, after you accept it, take it back to your room and look at it slowly. After all, money should not be exposed, right?"

Xiao Jinyue nodded in agreement, "What Cao Mama said is that money should not be revealed at will."

Seeing her agreeing, Mammy Cao couldn't help laughing, and just wanted to pass the box in her hand to Xiao Jinyue again.

But she said unhurriedly, "Before taking it back, it's better to open it and count it, after all, it's 200 taels of silver. If something goes wrong, I can't tell, Madam Cao, what do you think?" Is this the reason?"

This made sense, and Grandma Cao couldn't refute it.

If she said that there is no need to count, then in case the two girls later said that the amount of silver in the box was wrong.

Those who don't know may think that she has deposited part of the money, so she can't argue with it.

Counting is counting, the silver is put into the brocade box by her own hands, there are twenty silver ingots, one is not a lot.

Remembering that she put the money in by herself, there was nothing wrong with it, Mammy Cao felt confident, and she couldn't help but feel contemptuous, but it was only 200 taels of silver, and it's not like she didn't have it.

Her eyelids are not so shallow that they have to hide a part.

The second girl Xiao was so nervous that she insisted on counting them face to face, as if she was afraid that the money inside would be missing by a little bit.

If she is really poor from the border, I am afraid that she has never owned such a huge sum of money because she has grown up so big.

Mammy Cao felt superior again in an instant, she put the brocade box in her hand on the table beside her, and pushed towards Xiao Jinyue.

Mammy Cao stretched out her hand to open the brocade box, and said disdainfully, "Second Miss, please be careful, no more, no less, a total of 200 taels of silver."

Unexpectedly, with the soft sound of opening the box, the flower hall suddenly became strangely quiet...
