Chapter 147 Asking for Money in Different Ways
Su Yunrou took one, opened the lid and smelled it. The smell was completely different from the ointment she used. It only had a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which smelled very pleasant.
"I'm telling you, this medicine was bought by my mother, and it works. Have you seen my face? I only used it twice and it has already healed to this state."
As Su Lihan spoke, she took out the bronze mirror and started to wipe her face again.
"Can I try it?" Su Yunrou asked.
"Try it!"
Su Lihan was secretly happy that she also had something better than Su Yunrou's. Although it was an ointment, her ointment was more effective than hers, wasn't it?
Su Yunrou applied a little on her face, and immediately the tight and tingling sensation on her face disappeared, and the burning sensation was gone too, and her whole face felt very comfortable.
"Fifth sister, your ointment is really good." Su Yunrou said.
"Isn't it? You also think it's a good thing. If you want it, I can give it to you, but you have to pay for it. The price is five hundred taels."
Su Lihan thought about how Su Yunrou always said how expensive and valuable the things she used were, so now she wanted to let her know how precious this ointment was.
"too expensive!"
Su Yunrou was shocked!
Su Lihan actually asked for a huge amount from me, shouldn’t she just give it to me directly?
"I don't think it's expensive. Anyway, I apply this medicine every day, and my face will recover in a few days. If you don't use it, you can just wait for it to recover slowly." Su Lihan said lightly.
She put the porcelain bottle away and tried to take the one in Su Yunrou's hand, but Su Yunrou blocked her way.
"It's just five hundred taels. I'll ask Zijuan to bring it to you later."
When Su Lihan heard her say this, she quit immediately.
"Zijuan, go get the money now. My second sister and I will wait here."
Zijuan looked at Su Yunrou hesitantly, and when she nodded, she bowed and retreated.
Su Yunrou thought that she really needed to recover quickly. She didn't know when King Rui would come to see her, but she absolutely could not meet King Rui with this face.
She couldn't destroy her perfect image in King Rui's mind.
In the end, Su Lihan accepted five hundred taels of silver and sold a bottle of special ointment to Su Yunrou.
After Su Yunrou got the things, she immediately returned to her yard, asked Zijuan to fetch some clean water, and after carefully and thoroughly disposing of the previous ointment, she applied the newly bought ointment.
"Second Miss, this ointment really works. It's only been a short while and the area where you applied the ointment is no longer so red and swollen."
"Yes! I don't know where Second Aunt found these good things." Su Yunrou sighed, and was quite satisfied with the treatment effect.
In Helin Courtyard, Shanhu took the little girl, who was running out of breath, to drink honey water.
"Why is Ninth Sister so tired?" Su Qingwan saw that the little girl was sweating.
"My second sister took the ointment to see my fifth sister. When she saw me, I ran away." Su Lanbin drank the sweet honey water and explained why he ran so fast.
Su Qingwan's eyes moved, and she took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Su Lanbin's forehead.
"Take Miss Nine to change her clothes. I think her back is all wet."
"Yes!" Su Lanbin, who had drunk the water, was carried away.
Su Yunrou and Su Lihan were really good at taking advantage of others. They should have continued to kneel in the ancestral hall, but such a big thing happened at home. The two girls were naturally lazy and slack off, after all, everyone's eyes were on Su Yingxue.
"Just wait, the fun has just begun!"
Su Qingwan didn't plan to make such a small fuss. Kneeling in the ancestral hall was not a big deal. Su Qingwan's eyes lit up and she continued to read the medical book.
At this time, in Tinglan Courtyard, Liu was listening to her son talking. When she heard him say that he would need five thousand taels of silver this time, she wished she could faint on the spot.
"Yuejie, what do you want so much money for?" Liu asked, covering her forehead.
"That master, He Lanshan, has taken a liking to a rare copy of the book. I want to buy it and give it to him, then become his disciple."
Su Yuejie said.
What he said was not a lie. There was indeed a monk named He Lan in the capital, and there were rumors that he was recruiting disciples. However, he did not know this monk and had no intention of buying any rare books. He just wanted to get money from Liu so that he could continue to go out and play.
"Son! The Marquis' Mansion is no longer the same as before. After the third wife came back, she spent a lot of money. Now mother is really broke. Why don't I give you some money after a few days when I have more money? " Liu said with a headache.
She still had to give 30,000 taels to the old lady. Looking at Xiaokang's condition, she was afraid that she would have to come to her for compensation.
When she thought that all the things she had worked so hard to save would be gone with the wind, she felt so heartbroken that she almost fainted.
"Mom, won't everything fall through after a while? I've figured it out. You just don't want to see me succeed. You think I can't compare to Su Yuekuang from the second house, right?" Su Yuejie was instantly annoyed.
In the past, when he used this excuse, his mother would always take the money directly, and she had never refused it directly like she did today.
"That's not what Mom meant, no..."
But before Liu could finish her words, Su Yuejie stood up.
"Don't try to fool me. I know that's what you think. You think I'm not cut out for study, so you might as well not plan for me now. I just want to become a disciple of Arashiyama. What's wrong with that? Since you said you don't have the money, I'll find a way myself."
After Su Yuejie finished speaking, he strode out of Tinglan Courtyard. Even though Liu was calling his name from behind, he pretended not to hear it.
Hehe! After making such a fuss, he no longer believed that his mother would not give him money to spend.
Besides, I only want five thousand taels. Who knows, if I spend the money, I might win ten thousand taels in return.
This is better than my father. He spent the money and brought back something that cost money. I don't know what he wants.
"What an injustice! This is my injustice!" Liu cried and howled in the house.
They were all staring at the little bit of silver in her hand, trying to make her angry to death!
"Madam, please don't be like this. The young master just doesn't understand your difficulties. Once he calms down, he will figure it out. The young master is a sensible child." Madam Zhou hurriedly persuaded.
Liu thought about it and decided that this was the only option.
She is still thinking about how to get the money back from the old lady.
It’s just that her idea is good, but Mr. Kang doesn’t think so.
"Madam Xu, go to Liu and get back the 30,000 taels of silver. By the way, ask her to send 10,000 taels to the second son's wife. This money is a punishment for her daughter's wrongdoing. Su Yingxue almost took the second son's wife's life, and the compensation cannot be less than 10,000 taels."
Old Kang ordered.
The reason why she brought up Xiaokang's matter was that she was afraid that her stupid niece was too dumb and would be easily dismissed by Liu, which would mean all the blood would have been shed in vain.
However, Xiaokang was also a filial person. She gave herself the ginseng that the eldest wife gave her.
Since she is so sensible, of course I have to help her.
"Don't worry, old lady. I'll go see the first lady right away." After bowing, Nanny Xu walked towards Tinglan Courtyard.
