The female supporting role has arrived on the battlefield

Chapter 33 The Vicious Wife ([-])

"Since this is the case, I will do as you wish. From now on, all the expenses in the government will be paid out from it. In a few days, the yamen will distribute my monthly salary, and you can send someone to collect it."

Ji Ning asked again: "There is a happy event at home. Before you came, master, I checked it. It will be an auspicious day in seven days. Why don't you just come in at that time. Although Miss Yan is a concubine, she still has to leave at the end of the scene." Yes, Sister Yan, then I will order people to invite a matchmaker to negotiate peace there, and tell her the date, as for the money that will be spent on concubines."

Wan Cen has always been a self-proclaimed person. Even though he married the original owner for the purpose of making money and paying off debts, he looked down on the Ji family's status as a merchant from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, marrying Ji Ning was a temporary compromise.

While enjoying the material life brought by the Ji family, on the other hand he felt wronged by marrying a merchant's daughter, so whenever the original owner mentioned money, he felt vulgar and disliked the original owner even more.

Sure enough, when Ji Ning said this, Wan Cen showed impatience on his face: "You are the mistress of the Wan family, so this matter can be handled as ordinary officials and eunuchs do. As for the money, it will naturally come from my monthly salary. No need to ask me."

"However, my husband has not yet issued a monthly salary, but those who hire a matchmaker, give a dowry, decorate a new house, and serve Miss Yan all need money."

"Silver is silver again!" Seeing Ji Ning's frightened look halfway through, Wan Cen suppressed his impatience and took out 100 taels from his pocket and gave her, "Is 100 taels enough? In the future Don't bother me with ordinary things like silver and other yellow and white things, you are the head of the house, and you are in charge of the house."

With the money, Ji Ning was a little satisfied, but he still didn't forget to tell us about today's events first: "There is one more thing, just now I said that the reduction of family expenses will come from the master's monthly salary, so all the expenses in the mansion except my yard will be used." Cut it all down. When I went to my mother's yard this morning, my mother was a little steadfast at first, but after I explained it, I knew it was for the sake of my husband's future, and my mother understood. Since the master is back, it's better to go and see my mother later ?”

"It's natural, but why are the expenses in the mansion reduced, but the ones in your courtyard remain the same?"

"Because the servants in the mansion add up to more than half of the master's monthly salary, not to mention the daily food and clothing, so I decided to save energy internally, and use it externally. My lord, your monthly service will make you look better."

Wan Cen was very satisfied with this: "You did a good job."

"Master, since Ms. Yan is a concubine, it is reasonable to sell her body if she enters the mansion. Otherwise, people will misunderstand that the master loves her concubine and destroys his wife. It's just that I also know that the master likes Ms. Yan. How much silver do you write so that you won't humiliate her?"

If Wan Cen originally thought that Ji Ning would be dissatisfied with Yan Rou, but he had never thought about this matter before, Ji Ning could use her worth in secret, so Wan Cen felt that Ji Ning asked this question because he was afraid of him Unhappy, I completely compromised with him.

Thinking of this, Wan Cen's expression softened a lot. In the past, every time he took money from Ji Ning, he felt a little short of breath, so he always wanted to gain the upper hand, but today it finally came true, and it feels good.

"In your opinion, how much should the price be marked?"

"Why don't you just set it at ten taels? The master's monthly salary is five taels. Ten taels of silver is not a lot, but it is not a lot. No one will doubt the source of the money just for ten taels of silver. Besides, it only costs to buy a maid. Three taels. Ten taels is a lot, and you will have to spend a lot of money on the banquet, I think Miss Yan will understand the master when she knows."

Wan Cen thought for a while, and finally he didn't want to wrong Yan Rou: "Ten tael is a bit lower, let's set it at 20 tael."

One must know that he spent 3000 taels to redeem Yan Rou's body. It was only when Ji Ning reminded him that the deed of sale had to be stamped by the government, so it would be easy to be criticized for writing too much.

"Okay, I'll give the order." After finishing speaking, Ji Ning looked up at Wan Cen pretending to be 'coyly', "It's almost lunch time, I don't know where the master is going to use the lunch?"

Wan Cen saw that Ji Ning was so humble, and wanted to give her some sweets to eat with her, but when Ji Ning raised his head, he saw that her face, which was no longer pretty, had a dark yellow color, and the blue and black eyes were also very dark. It's obvious, how can she look like a 19-year-old woman?

Thinking of Yan Rou's gentle and charming face, and looking at Ji Ning again, Wan Cen suddenly felt as sick as eating a fly: "You just said that mother was angry this morning, I'd better go to mother's yard to accompany her for lunch, You go to work first."

Looking at Wan Cen's leaving back, the smile on Ji Ning's face disappeared, and Yin Qiao, who was watching, felt her heart tighten, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Madam, don't worry about it, the master is filial to the old lady. I guess it's because she is afraid that the old lady will be so filial because of the old lady. Blame Madam for cutting expenses."

"Filial piety?" Ji Ning took a sip of tea methodically, and then looked at Yinqiao: "Do you really think so?"

"This"

Of course Yinqiao didn't think so, it was just because the original owner liked Wan Cen very much before, and he didn't want anyone to say anything bad about Wan Cen, and often shed tears. But in fact, Yinqiao still disagrees in her heart.

"Don't say good things for him. I don't want to deceive myself and others. You will tell me later, just find an ordinary matchmaker, go through the motions, and find out what things and banquets the county magistrate will buy for concubines. The mansion is a little bit bigger than that. A little lower will do."

"Yes."

"By the way, let someone tell my dad by the way, I'm going to go home tomorrow."

"But the old lady." The old lady always disliked Ji Ning going to her mother's house, and felt that a married woman should stay at the gate of the mansion.

But who is Ji Ning?
Why consider that old woman's idea?

"Just send someone to tell you, don't worry about the old lady."

On the other side, just after Wan Cen arrived at Fanhuayuan, the nanny took him to walk, hinting as she walked, "This morning, the old lady's breakfast is a bowl of rice porridge, a dish of red bean cake and a dish of pickles. The old lady lost her appetite when she saw it, and was depressed for a long time because of this matter, and then the lady came, and she didn't know what to say, and the old lady didn't move at all."

"I have my own conclusions on this matter."

Wan's mother was waiting for Wan Cen. Thinking of the breakfast this morning, she still felt uncomfortable, so she felt dissatisfied with Wan Cen to some extent: "Ji Ning has already agreed with you to accept that girl named Yan. Don't go looking for her these days, and you will stay and have lunch with me later. "

It's best to let Wan Cen see how harsh the lunch Ji Ning gave her is!
