Chapter 2696 No wonder
"However, we are really out of money, so please give us some money, not much, just fifty taels of silver."
Murong said coldly: "Master Xiao, don't you like to gamble? I'll take a gamble with you."
Xiao Gongwei said, "What are you betting on?"
Murong Lingran said: "I will go to Lihua Village now. If I find more than fifty taels of silver from your family, then I will confiscate all of them. If I don't find more than fifty taels of silver, I will give it to you. How about you ten thousand taels?"
"Ten thousand taels?" Xiao Gongwei suddenly widened his eyes.
If he rushes back first to let his sons and daughters-in-law hide the money, he can get 10,000 taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, Murong Lingran seemed to see his intention, and said slowly: "But we want to go back together, you can't notify the uncles in advance, or I will take my words back."
Xiao Gongwei was taken aback for a moment, so he was sure to lose!
He quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't want any more money, and I don't want to bet with you, I'll go back now."
After ?? finished speaking, he dragged Lin Cuiying away.
There are still more than 400 taels of silver in his family, which they earned back from their hard work some time ago. Of course, he is reluctant to use it.
But the fifty taels of silver he got from the Hou Mansion last month was really spent, and he really used it to eat, drink, and have fun.
The delicious food in Beijing is really too much, and it is also expensive. In some places, it costs several taels to order a few dishes, and he has not eaten enough of the restaurants in the capital.
But if the people from the Marquis of Ning'an didn't give it, he couldn't do anything about it. If the family's Chuanchuanxiang business is good in the future, then he will go to eat, drink and have fun.
The Marquis of Ning An did not hold back and let them go.
If it wasn't for his daughter-in-law's sake, he would be a waste of time if such a person would say a word to them.
Ning An Hou just got up when he saw the two suddenly come back.
"Anything else?"
Xiao Gongwei smiled and said, "That's right, aren't you going to pick up my fourth son and fourth daughter-in-law at Lihua Village? Anyway, you have to go back, why don't we go together."
Murong said: "Didn't you come here in my family's carriage? What if you go back first? We said that if we wanted to pick up my uncle, we would definitely pick it up. What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Why don't you worry, everyone in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion has a lot of opinions on their Xiao family. If they don't personally supervise and make them fulfill their promises, if the Ning'an Marquis Mansion goes back on it, what should they do? They fight again. But Houfu.
Xiao Gongwei said: "I...I don't want your uncle to receive treatment sooner? So I'm in a hurry."
Murong said: "Since you are so anxious, then you should go back in a carriage, pick up my uncle and aunt, and come over in my carriage later."
Xiao Gongwei hesitated for a while, so he didn't have the majesty of riding in the horse carriage of the Hou Mansion, but this was indeed a solution. After saying goodbye, he left in a hurry.
After the two left, the Marquis of Ning'an turned to look at Xiao Man'an, and said with an apologetic expression: "Azhe wife, your parents came just now, and we have a bad attitude towards your parents for a reason. I hope you understand."
Xiao Manan said: "Father, I understand, I won't take it to heart."
Her parents were too early, so she didn't blame her mother-in-law for their attitude.
With the temperament of her parents, if she talked to them properly, it is estimated that the Marquis of Ning'an would be trampled on by them.
