Tang Rong had a beautiful thought, but unfortunately he was going to be disappointed. Tao Yiran looked at him with admiration and affection, "I knew I was right. Your husband is a true gentleman. How could such a small matter stump you? You can do it."

"I believe you."

Tang Rong almost couldn't hold back his smile, and thought that the manager of the shop under his name would come to settle the accounts in a couple of days, and he would have some income then. If things didn't work out, he could give away a few ornaments from the warehouse to sell, otherwise he would have to ask his father for help.

When he thought about how he would have to worry about money one day, he couldn't help but start to regret it. If he hadn't changed his wife, he wouldn't have to worry about money, and there wouldn't be those rumors outside. He might be living a prosperous life now.

In Qiushi Courtyard, Xin An also received the same New Year gift as Tang Rong. After expressing his gratitude, he took out the gift he had just prepared, which included fashionable jewelry, beautiful fabrics, and a belt that the five boys liked at first sight.

Tang Qi, the youngest and most lively, wanted to put on the clothes right away. He didn't know how to put them on for the first time, so Nan Feng stepped forward to help him put them on. This was amazing, and everyone said he looked great, "From a little scholar to a nobleman in an instant."

Zhao smiled and said, "If the emperor's feet were not incomparable to ordinary places, a belt could be made so exquisitely."

Xin An also said it was nice, and thought that the person who came up with this belt must be very fond of beauty. "I'll ask the cloth shop to take your measurements and make you some clothes that the young men in the capital would like. I'll also make two pairs of warm leather boots to match the belt, and it will look even better."

They were still wearing cotton boots, which were not as luxurious as the belts.

"Really? Thank you, second sister-in-law."

After thanking him, he asked, "Will this be too much trouble for my second sister-in-law?"

"It's just a matter of opening your mouth to give a few instructions. How can it be a big deal? You are already handsome, and you will look even better after dressing up. When you go to the banquet with your second brother, you can let other families see how handsome our sons are."

The boys smiled happily, and the girls looked eager. Xin An added, "Do it for some of the sisters too. When the time comes, dress them up beautifully and I'll take you out for a walk. I don't know how many people will envy me."

Zhao smiled happily and held Xin An's hand tightly, "No wonder your mother-in-law always praises you. You are such a thoughtful and considerate girl, who wouldn't like you?"

Then he said to the three maids, "You must all learn well from your second sister-in-law. Your second sister-in-law will be enough for you to use."

No matter whether she is sincere or insincere, or has other purposes, just based on the arrangements she made, no one can find fault with her.

I don’t understand why Tang Rong gave up such a good wife for that delicate and weak one. I don’t know if he regrets it.

As the sky gradually darkened, Wei Liangcai, who had been meeting friends, also returned. As soon as she saw him, Zhang began to complain crazily, saying that Wang and her mother-in-law were very considerate when the Tang family members arrived. "You don't know, the makeup and jewelry were already placed in the house before the people arrived, and those three cheap girls couldn't wait to use them. It's like they have never seen good things before."

"She also said she wanted to buy materials and jewelry for them. She was reluctant to spend a penny in front of us, but she became generous when the Tang family came..."

"And Tang Gang, as soon as we met, he said he wanted to find a good academy for those boys and invite famous teachers to come back to teach them. He made all kinds of arrangements. What kind of attitude is that towards us continuing our family line? Let me tell you..."

Complaining until spit flew everywhere, no comparison, no harm, this made Wei Liangcai feel uncomfortable, until Zhang said, "That family is not a good family either, they put out the New Year gifts they brought in front of me, and said that they sent a boy and a girl, and the family raised 20,000 taels for them. Didn't you see Wang's expression when she accepted the money, she is extremely mercenary..."

Wei Liangcai grasped the key point, "You said that the Tang family brought a lot of New Year gifts and gave 20,000 taels? They also prepared New Year gifts for the nephew and the second son?"

"That's right. Isn't it because they rely on the Marquis' Mansion to make money and can't show off their wealth?"

Zhang was still cursing, Wei Liangcai was very angry, "I asked you to prepare a generous gift, but you didn't listen. Relatives are close and distant, and it's not the time for my sister to be the head of the mansion. The Tang family's move makes us look very disrespectful, and you are still making a fuss?!"

"Take out five thousand taels and prepare a decent New Year gift for the old lady to make up for it. Also prepare four red envelopes of five hundred taels each for use during the New Year."

"Forget it, just give me 10,000 taels and I'll prepare it myself."

"Are you crazy~"

Zhang's eyes split when she heard the voice of 10,000 taels, "Is it easy for us to save money?"

This time Wei Liangcai did not continue to indulge her. He could see that Tang Gang was already dissatisfied with the Wei family even though he didn't say it. Moreover, with the comparison made by the Tang family, the Wei family seemed even more ignorant. And with the annoying Zhang around, how could anyone like them?

"Stop talking nonsense. Don't I know how much money you have?"

"Be content. Over the years, I have saved so much money and accomplished so many things with the help of the Marquis's Mansion. Do you think I would have been appointed so quickly without the help of the Marquis? Although I was not promoted, I went to a good place. If I asked others for help, how much energy and money would it cost?"

The sisters Wei Chuanzong and Wei Qing also came out and persuaded Zhang to take out the money. Wei Chuanzong, in particular, said, "How can we continue to live in the mansion when mother is like this?"

They are all boys and girls, and they have their own opinions. They think their mother is really shameful.

Wei Qing also said boldly, "Mother, can you please not let us sing or play the piano when we go out to banquets in the future? We are not good at it. Didn't you see that those ladies laughed at us?"

Wei Liangcai didn't know about this yet, so he started questioning them. The two sisters saw the opportunity and immediately told him that they were forced to "perform for a living". They even started crying while talking. Wei Liangcai was furious and scolded Zhang severely, forbidding her to continue to harm the two girls.

"You don't have to stay in the capital. You can find a marriage partner in your hometown, or you can pick a good family while you are in office. You should stop bringing them out and embarrass yourself."

Zhang had already received Tang Rong's promise, so there was no way she would give up. But now no one was on her side, so she could only grit her teeth, go into the house, take the banknotes and slap them into Wei Liangcai's arms, "I'm embarrassed for you. You are all decent, but I am not a plaything, okay?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked in. Seeing that the welcoming banquet for the Tang family was about to arrive, in order not to embarrass himself, Wei Liang signaled the two sisters to go in and persuade them. Zhang married him when he was nothing, used her dowry to pave the way for him, and complained about taking the money but was actually happy. He was grateful for this favor.

After the two sisters persuaded her and she personally took action, Zhang finally gave in reluctantly and prepared to secretly handle the sisters' affairs. After she and Tang Rong had accomplished everything, she would see how she would scold the father and son.
