"The money for buying the chicken was given by your mother!" Shen said arrogantly without a trace of shame.

Su Ziyu suddenly realized what was happening, and even raised his voice several notches, "You used the gift money my mother gave you to buy chickens?!"

When Shen saw her like this, she was immediately furious. "Daughter-in-law, you know it's almost the New Year, so it's normal for the family to buy some livestock. Besides, I haven't spent all the money."

"I've saved them for you. Just ask me for them when you need them."

Su Ziyu sneered. Once the money was in her pocket, there was no reason to take it out.

"What the mother-in-law said is true, but this is the gift money my mother gave to you, so you should take it. If my mother knew that you used it to buy a chicken..."

Hearing Su Ziyu say this, Shen's face darkened. Don't think that she doesn't understand what this means.

"Look at what you said. My mother-in-law also knows the situation of our family. She probably won't care about buying a few chickens. Besides, the money was given to me by Rujun. I didn't take it on my own initiative. You don't think I touched your things, do you?"

Shen's words were meaningless, and Su Ziyu could only swallow his resentment.

She stared at Shen. If looks could kill, Shen would have been cut into pieces long ago.

"Okay, okay, since you're up so early in the morning, make breakfast."

Shen turned around and continued to feed the chickens and ducks, not looking at Su Ziyu's irritating eyes again.

She had already said those words just now. The money was given by Shen Rujun. As a wife, she could not blame her husband.

Besides, he didn't use the money to live a life of luxury, but instead used it to show filial piety to his mother. Su Ziyu couldn't blame him emotionally or logically.

If you dare to say anything more, don't blame her for being ruthless.

Listening to the footsteps behind her fading away, Shen sneered.

You are still a little naive to fight with her.

……

"How much silver are these worth?"

Su Ziyu put the cloak in the pawn shop. The owner, who was knowledgeable about the goods, looked at the finely crafted cloak and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fifty taels."

Su Ziyu sneered, picked up his cloak and left.

The shopkeeper ran over and stopped Su Ziyou, saying, "Look, you have worn it before after all. This kind of fox fur cloak will lose quality every time you wear it. It is really not good..."

After saying this to the shopkeeper, he gritted his teeth and pretended to have invested a lot of money.

"Sixty taels, this is the highest price we offer."

Su Ziyu turned around and continued walking forward, but was stopped by the shopkeeper again.

"One hundred and twenty taels. If you give me the money, it's a deal. If you don't, forget it."

The shopkeeper's expression changed: "Madam, you want too much. This piece of clothing is already old!"

"Shopkeeper, don't think I don't know the value of goods. Can you afford this fabric and this workmanship for sixty taels?"

"Just the workmanship of the plum blossom above, even if you go to an embroidery shop and find a better embroiderer, she can't embroider it. It must be top-notch."

Su Ziyou held the cloak and sighed, "It's a pity that my family is in trouble and I have to sell this cloak. One hundred and twenty taels is already a huge sacrifice for me."

The shopkeeper sighed inwardly. He really valued this cloak. If he maintained it and resold it, he could make a lot of money.

"Okay, then one hundred and twenty taels."

Su Zi smiled and bowed to the shopkeeper.

After selling the cloak, Su Ziyu suddenly had an extra 120 taels in his hand. He took the money, but he had other plans in mind for it.

……

Su Jinhua drank tea and looked at the calendar. He pointed his finger at a place and then drew a line on it with a pen.

"Miss, what is this?" Banxia looked puzzled and asked if she didn't understand.

"As the year draws to a close, I want to go to the temple to pray."

"Then do we still need to go to Ci'an Temple?"

"Well, Ci'an Temple is close and convenient to go back and forth."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Su Jinhua nodded, put down the calendar in her hand, and suddenly remembered something important: "How is the maid I asked you to find who knows martial arts?"

"The slave is still watching."

"At the end of the year, even for human teeth, there aren't many people on hand."

Su Jinhua took a sip of tea and looked out the window. "In that case, I'll stop by to take a look when I go to Ci'an Temple."

"Yes."

"There are many things to prepare for the New Year, and there are also the personal connections with the Marquis' Mansion. Banxia, ​​go to the accounting office and get the book. I need to sort it out."

"Yes."

He said he would go later, but he dared not delay this matter at all. Banxia left quickly and went to the accounting office.

Banxia came back in half a cup of tea, but she brought back not only the account book, but also a letter.

Su Jinhua was a little confused. Who sent her this letter?

"Where did you get this letter from?"

"My lady, it was given to me by a little boy."

Su Jinhua took the letter, opened it and found that it was from his uncle Ji Haichao.

Su Jinhua frowned, opened the letter and read it carefully.

The content of the letter was mostly words of concern. Her uncle asked her to meet him the next day at the Yongfu Restaurant in the city.

Su Jinhua carefully examined it and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was his uncle's handwriting.

"Banxia, ​​prepare the carriage tomorrow. I want to go to Yongfu Restaurant."

They hadn't been in touch since their last brief meeting. Her uncle had always been concerned about her, but she hadn't been able to remember him often.

I can't help feeling ashamed.

"Banxia, ​​prepare more cakes and gifts."

"Yes."

Banxia saw that Su Jinhua's eyes were red, and felt sad for Su Jinhua when she thought that only her uncle cared about her.

.........

The next day, when Su Jinhua got up, he felt that the room was filled with cold air.

"Banxia, ​​is it snowing? It's so cold today."

"Yes, it snowed heavily today. The whole street was covered with snow. It looked white at a glance. It was quite beautiful."

Su Jinhua looked at herself in the mirror and sighed, "The heavier the snow is, the closer it is to the New Year. I wonder how the prince is doing."

Su Jinhua thought of her cheap husband Gu Yanan and wondered how he was doing at the border and whether he was seriously injured.

With the lessons learned from last time, nothing should happen again.

I collected my thoughts and couldn't help but feel excited when I thought about meeting my uncle today.

After Banxia finished dressing up, Su Jinhua changed into simple and elegant clothes. Before leaving, she specifically greeted the eldest princess to avoid any misunderstanding.

Yongfu Restaurant.

As you enter the restaurant, the strong smell of wine and food hits your nose, which greatly increases your appetite.

The restaurant was brightly lit and packed with guests. Guests dressed in various costumes were either chatting loudly, or sipping wine, or toasting to celebrate. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

"Would you like to have dinner or stay overnight?" The waiter came over attentively, bowed, nodded and smiled fawningly.

"Let's go to Room No. 3."

"Okay, go this way."

The waiter led the way in front. Su Jinhua seldom came to Yongfu Restaurant, so he observed as he walked.

Exquisite calligraphy and paintings and couplets are hung on the walls of the restaurant, adding a touch of elegance to this bustling space.

In the corner, the musician gently stroked the guzheng, and beautiful melody flowed in the air.

The waiter took them upstairs and stopped at the door of Room No. 3.

"This is it."

"Thank you." Su Jinhua nodded in thanks and gave the waiter some change.

"Thank you, miss."
