What's more, this matter can't be hidden at all. Last night, they talked about the three thousand taels of silver in front of Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu. If she accepted the money and kept it in her pocket silently, What will the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun and his wife think of her? The family must be separated.

She is a modern person with an emotionally independent soul. She does not have much sense of security in ancient times, and she does not trust anyone 100%.

The old lady, Zhao Yuanxun and others also have selfish motives, and they are close to her and Zhao Jingtai. Compared with Zhao Jingtai, she is not only a latecomer who came back later, but also the water that will be poured out in the future. Hundreds of taels. The elders may not have any idea about silver, but this is tens of thousands of taels.

Therefore, she took out the money to test the three elders and even Zhao Jingtai.

If they want to divide the money into two parts, leave the big part to Zhao Jingtai, and give the small part to her as a dowry, then she will only have a face-saving relationship with these people in the future. Every penny she earns in the future will be firmly held In your own hands.

She did not deny that she was suspicious and selfish. She could not dedicate everything she had to the Suiping Mansion. She needed to plan for herself.

Now seeing what Zhu said, Zhao Ruxi's heart felt warm.

She said: "You should discuss this matter with grandma and dad. With such a large sum of money, grandma and dad may have other ideas."

"No need." Mrs. Zhu waved her hand and said, "I discussed it with your father last night. We don't want every penny you earn. When you get married in the future, we will do our best to buy a dowry for you."

"As for your grandmother..." Mrs. Zhu reached out and stroked Zhao Ruxi's hair, "She is old, and she doesn't need to worry about everything at home. Don't tell her about this either. She needs to eat well. Just drink well and take good care of yourself."

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Okay."

This was also the result she expected.

Both Zhao Yuanxun and Mrs. Zhu love their children. Mrs. Zhu may not trust the money in her hands and take it for safekeeping or help her purchase it as a fixed asset. But when she needs money or gets married, she will put away most of it. Give it back to her.

But this is not necessarily the case for the old lady. After all, the old man still values ​​his children and grandchildren more.

"As for your brother, there is no need to tell him. Brother Tai has no idea about money, so he won't have any ideas. But he is not strict with his words. If he leaks something, others will know, especially the second and third bedrooms. It will be bad for people."

Zhao Ruxi nodded.

Zhao Jingtai would not tell the eldest brother and the third brother that they were not close. But it was not necessarily the case when it came to Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingan. Of these two brothers, one was his biological eldest brother and the other had a friendship since childhood.

After learning about the existence of these tens of thousands of taels of silver, Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an may not have any idea, but Zhao Yuanliang, Zhao Ruyu, and Zhao Rurui may have it. These three are all planning for themselves. When the time comes, they will directly say that the eldest son has left the public school. Property, the tens of thousands taels are required to be divided equally. Although it can be explained clearly, the involvement is too great, and everyone knows about it.

"Mom, then I understand."

She raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhu: "Mom, since I can make money, I also have the ability to keep the money well. I won't just leave it like this, I will buy some assets or do what I want to do. What should I do with these shops and houses?"

"Put it in my name first, and keep it with my dowry."

As Zhu said this, he originally wanted to mention the farm shop that was sold under Wei Qiu's name, but considering that there were so many wealthy families in the capital, they had nothing to do with these things, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Zhao Ruxi knew her mother's personality. Moreover, she had previously said that she would give the money to Zhu for safekeeping, so she trusted her. When she heard that it would be put together with Zhu's dowry, she naturally agreed, "Okay."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhu wanted to get up, Zhao Ruxi quickly stopped her and said, "There is one more thing that I need to discuss with my mother."

"you say."

"The Xu family is my foster uncle and aunt. Because I suddenly didn't go to the academy, and then they heard about our uncle's house, they were so anxious and worried. My aunt looked haggard and started talking.

At this time, my uncle hired a carriage to drive around the capital for a few days, hoping to get some news about us. After I heard about it today, I felt extremely guilty."

"When you invited them to the Marquis Mansion, they were worried that their clothes and behavior would be inappropriate, and that the servants would see my joke and refuse to come; they were also worried that you would misunderstand that they were here to catch the autumn wind, and they would treat me badly, so

He didn't even come to Beijing to recognize us. This time he didn't even know where our family lived, so he wandered around the city."

She raised her eyes and looked at her mother, her eyes full of seriousness: "Mom, let's formally invite my uncle and aunt to our house as guests? I originally wanted to bring my uncle over tonight to meet me, but I always felt that it was not respectful enough. Or my parents.

It would be better if you formally invite them. They don’t want anything from us, they really love me.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu burst into tears.

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and then said: "Your uncles and aunts from the Xu family really love you. I am also very grateful to them. It's just that you were not my daughter at the time, and the Wei family didn't even express it. I sent someone to give them money."

, they didn’t want it at all, and I could understand their integrity, so I didn’t give it to them forcefully. Later, things happened one by one in the Wei Mansion and the Wei Family. If this matter was not settled, it would be hard for your father and I to come forward to thank you.

Xu family. Now that it’s over, I discussed with your father last night about inviting your uncles and aunts from the Xu family, but I didn’t expect you to bring it up today."

She touched her daughter's head: "I am very grateful to them. Not only did they not abuse you, they also raised you carefully and did not let you suffer at all. Look at you now, both in temperament and knowledge, you are better than the children I raised carefully.

It's much better, and it's all thanks to your adoptive parents and uncles and aunts. I can't thank them enough."

Hearing this, Zhao Ruxi felt very sad.

"I have discussed with your father that your uncle and aunt will definitely not accept the gift of money. They are poor, but they are very courageous. They are afraid of being looked down upon and thinking that they are here to ask for benefits. Forcing them to give money is a humiliation for them.

.So we plan to find a good school for Xu Chongwen."

Seeing her daughter looking at him with bright eyes, Zhu reached out and stroked her head: "Jingli, Jing'an didn't go to school because he wanted to become a military general. Maybe you don't know about the clan education of our Zhao family. It's

It was run with the proceeds from the land sacrifices left by Mr. Zeng, and we invited a fellow Jinshi and two Juren from the clan to be the masters. Although the school used the proceeds from the sacrifices to the fields, the expenses were still not enough, so every year our family paid
