Chapter 738 Where did you go?
The people present were all women from wealthy families.
To a greater or lesser extent, they all have some talents.
But these are indeed what Cai Pingle said, they are nothing more than talents such as playing piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
As for knowledge, although they read poetry and books, what they can learn is very different from men.
In addition to being able to recite some poems, the women of these big families also love story books and travel notes the most.
Su Cai'er has openly admitted that she does not know how to compose poetry.
Last time on the mountain, Zhao Ce himself said that he didn't know how to appreciate music.
Is it possible that these two couples are studying calligraphy and painting at home?
Many people present looked at Su Cai'er curiously, as if they were guessing what talents she had.
Su Cai'er felt everyone's gaze, her big eyes rolled, and she had an idea in her mind.
She pulled Yan Yulan, who wanted to stand up for her, to stop her from offending Uncle Guo's family because of her.
At the same time, with a faint smile on his face, he said calmly: "My husband is indeed a great talent."
"There is really not much knowledge that I can discuss with him."
"But just last night, I discovered that I had lost ten taels of silver."
Su Cai'er had a sly look in her eyes and blinked at Cai Pingle.
"Miss Cai wants to know where these ten taels of silver were lost?"
Cai Pingle was a little unhappy when he saw the sweetness in her tone that everyone could feel when she mentioned Zhao Ce.
I heard that Yong Xibo and his wife were very affectionate, and there was only such a young wife from a farm family in the back house.
Even the people who serve are basically either servants or elderly women.
The cleanliness of the backyard is even better than that of today's emperors.
Now he looked at this man's wife standing in front of him, her face rosy and her expression indifferent.
Cai Pingle suddenly felt like a clown in front of her.
She suppressed the embarrassment that suddenly rose in her heart and forced herself to calm down: "What money?"
"Mrs. Yongxibo, as the mistress of Yongxibo's Mansion, you are in charge of the palace, and you don't even know that you have lost ten taels of silver?"
"Then how could I, an outsider, know about it?"
As Cai Pingle spoke, thinking of Su Caier's background as a farmer, his tone unconsciously contained a bit of condescending pity.
"Is it possible that Mrs. Yongxibo cannot get back these ten taels of silver either by her own abilities or by her family?"
This is a bit much to say.
Many people who just complimented Cai Pinle because of her good piano skills changed their eyes.
If such a woman were married and returned home, she would definitely make the family restless.
Princess Yongkang looked at the two of them, and then at Mrs. Hou Ninghou.
After all, Mrs. Yong Xibo's status is much higher than that of Cai Pinngle.
But there are really not many relatives in Uncle Guo's family who dare to do anything.
After all, even the adopted son of an unknown family member was knighted.
Now that Mrs. Shouning Hou was also present, Princess Yongkang was a little hesitant to stop.
Mrs. Shouninghou remembered what her husband had said, and she even asked Empress Zhang for this marriage, but she couldn't get it.
She herself was somewhat dissatisfied.
This niece, she also wants to marry well and bring some benefits to their family.
As a result, the marriage proposal has now become an uproar throughout the capital.
Shouninghou Mansion also lost a lot of face.
Now at this banquet, it is appropriate to regain some face with Mrs. Yongxibo, right?
Mrs. Shouning Hou took the eldest princess and whispered a few words.
The eldest princess could only give her a face and remained silent for the time being.
In fact, Cai Pingle was not wrong.
Su Cai'er's natal family really couldn't raise a tael of money.
After all, in her heart, she has no family members left.
If it were before, Su Cai'er might be worried about these things.
But now she lives a happy life and is bathed in full love every day.
She doesn't take these little attacks to heart at all.
Su Cai'er straightened her back and raised her lips: "Well, these two taels of silver are indeed not enough."
"Why don't you, Miss Cai, help us look for it?"
Oops!
What's the meaning?
After these words, everyone's expressions became intriguing.
Asking Cai Pingle to help them find money, does this mean that as the head wife, she agreed to marry her?
Cai Pingle never imagined that things would develop like this.
She said "Huh?"
"Me, can I help you find money?"
Yan Yulan was also surprised and pulled Su Cai'er from below.
What is she talking about?
However, Su Cai'er's next words made Cai Pingle's face suddenly darken.
Even Mrs. Shouninghou, who was watching the show next to her, suddenly looked ugly.
Su Cai'er said: "Oh, that's what happened."
"I heard that three people pooled together three hundred taels of silver to buy a piano."
"That qin, I heard it's a guqin!"
A guqin worth three hundred taels of silver?
Yan Yulan, who was standing next to her, suddenly thought of something and let out a "poof" laugh in response.
Everyone also looked at Cai Pingle, who was widely rumored in the capital during this period, to play the fake piano with the eyes of a good show.
Cai Pingle's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he gritted his silver teeth and said, "You, what do you mean?"
This happened in the uncle's house, except for those civil servants who were not afraid of death who dared to say it.
The female relatives basically just laughed secretly underneath.
If they really wanted to reveal the pain points of Uncle Guo's family face to face, they still had to think carefully.
However, Su Cai'er said it directly today.
Many people silently praised Su Cai'er's courage.
Mrs. Yongxibo looks tender, but she is not someone to be trifled with.
Facing Cai Pingle's stinky face, Su Caier showed a sweet smile.
"I don't mean anything. Isn't this a loss of money?"
"Those three people pooled their money to buy a guqin worth three hundred taels, and entrusted a friend to bring the money to the person selling the guqin."
"The person selling the piano may also have a conscience."
"He decided to charge the other party fifty taels less."
"My good friend, he thought that fifty taels of silver would be difficult to divide between the three of us, and he had traveled back and forth so many times, so he decided to keep twenty taels of silver for carriage expenses."
"The remaining thirty taels were given to each of them."
"The guqin was also sent back."
Everyone was confused when they heard this.
When Cai Pingle listened to Su Caier playing the guqin repeatedly, she was about to explode with anger.
This Mrs. Yongxibo,
"So what does this have to do with losing money?"
"Didn't the twenty taels of silver belong to the person who helped buy the piano?"
"No..."
"The three of them each paid one hundred taels, and later took back ten taels, so each of them only gave out 90 taels."
"So the three of them paid a total of 270 taels of silver."
"Adding the 20 taels in my friend's hands, the total is 290 taels of silver."
Su Cai'er tilted her head slightly, with a look of trepidation on her face.
"But they clearly paid a total of three hundred taels of silver."
"Then here's the problem."
"There are still ten taels of silver, where have they gone?"
