Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
Chapter 28
She closed the dowry list and gently patted it on her palm.
She suddenly asked, "Momo, I don't remember clearly. Is there no silver in my dowry?"
Gui Momo carefully glanced at her, as if afraid that she had a knot in her heart. She deliberated and said, "There is silver, how can there be no silver!"
At that time, Sixth Young Miss was unhappy with this marriage. When she got married, the wife of the heir of the Duke of Ying's residence had given the banknotes to her. She had wanted to tell Chu Lian about it afterwards, but she had been shocked by the way the two of them interacted these past two days and had forgotten about it.
Finally, there was one that did not disappoint Chu Lian. Her eyes instantly lit up and she urgently asked, "How much is there?"
Gui Momo was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly as she stretched out five fingers.
Chu Lian smiled, "Five hundred taels?"
Gui Momo's eyes widened. It was obvious that she did not expect her to guess correctly. Shouldn't an ordinary noble lady guess five thousand taels?
Seeing Chu Lian's smiling face, Xiyan's heart tightened. She felt that Chu Lian's easy contentment made her heart ache even more.
Although the Duke of Ying's residence had no successors and was gradually declining, it was still a duke's residence. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. When the Fourth Young Miss of the first branch got married, she received a thousand taels as a dowry because her di mother liked her!
Their young miss was a legitimate di daughter, yet she received such treatment.
"Sixth Young Miss …" Xiyan called out to Chu Lian in a low voice.
Every time this lass called her Sixth Young Miss in such a low and nasal voice, Chu Lian knew that Xiyan had reached a dead end and could not get over it.
Her voice was clear and indifferent. "What is there to be sad about? Five hundred taels is not a small amount. An ordinary family of three can spend ten taels for a year!
Moreover, my mother passed away early. Do you expect a child without a mother to be the same as a child with a mother?
Although my dowry is a little less, it's fine as long as I marry a good person. The elders in Duke Jing 'an's residence are easy to get along with, so what am I not satisfied with?
I have already gotten over it, so do you all still not?
Besides, it doesn't matter if we don't have enough silver. We can just earn it ourselves. There's nothing better than a lack of silver in this world. "
Hidden behind Chu Lian's words was her incomparably strong self-confidence and willpower. In that great era where technology had exploded and human nature had become distorted, she had been able to persevere and survive, let alone the Great Wu Dynasty that did not even exist in the real world in this little book.
To be able to enjoy life, one must also be able to endure life. This was what a smart woman should understand.
Gui Momo and Xiyan were startled by Chu Lian's words. Gui Momo was older and had experienced more things than Xiyan so her reaction was faster.
She happily nodded as if she could see the delicate flower in front of her finally getting rid of the bondage and giving birth to a fragrant and beautiful flower bud. It was no longer the lonely and fragile emerald that was struggling in the quagmire.
Xiyan, on the other hand, was still in a daze. Chu Lian's clear and sweet voice still echoed in her ears. "There's nothing better than a lack of silver in this world." This was such a proud and confident statement. How many people in the world worked hard and even lost their lives for the sake of a few dirty, smelly copper coins? The world was bustling with activity for the sake of profit. This statement was not without reason.
When Chu Lian said this, Xiyan seemed to see a faint white light radiating from her body. She was like a revered deity or Buddha. She realized that the young miss was looking at her with a gentle gaze. Suddenly, she felt relieved.
Whether it was the humiliation she had received at the Duke of Ying or the knot in her heart that had been buried for many years, they all turned into tiny golden dots in an instant and disappeared.
"Yes, Sixth Young Miss is right. This servant will listen to Sixth Young Miss."
Chu Lian tilted her head and saw Xiyan raise the corners of her mouth. When she smiled, she revealed two sharp canine teeth. Chu Lian was happy for her.
If this loyal girl had solved the knot in her heart as early as she did today, she wouldn't have died a tragic death because of 'Chu Lian'.
"Alright, let's go back after looking!" Chu Lian stood up and brought Gui Mo and Xiyan back to Songtao Court.
After returning to the courtyard, Gui Mo privately gave Chu Lian a pouch with five hundred taels of silver in it. "Third Young Mistress, this is the money the Crown Prince's wife gave you on the day of your marriage."
Chu Lian took it and opened it. Sure enough, there were five banknotes with a face value of one hundred taels of silver neatly placed inside. They were all VIP banknotes from Datong Bank.
She took one out and gave it to Gui Mo, "Mo Mo, take this one hundred taels of silver. Save it for an emergency. I'll keep the rest."
Looking at the one hundred taels of silver banknotes, Gui Mo shook her hands repeatedly, "No, no, this is Third Young Mistress' dowry. How can this old servant take it? Don't worry, we don't need silver in the fu, so why should we be anxious?"
After saying that, her eyes reddened. She remembered how the Sixth Young Mistress treated the silver like a treasure in the Duke of Ying's fu, afraid that the servants would find out and steal it. Although she didn't mind Chu Lian's actions at that time, there was still a knot in her heart. Although they were close, they were still master and servant. The biggest taboo between a master and servant was to have a rift between them.
Chu Lian giggled. How could she not guess what Gui Mo was thinking? She secretly cursed the original owner of this body for not knowing what was good for her.
Ignoring Gui Mo's refusal, Chu Lian stuffed the banknotes into Gui Mo's hands, "Mo Mo, take it. There's always a contingency. Having money is better than not having money.
In this world, silver can do most things. I still have four hundred taels of silver here!
It's not a small amount. Now that I've gotten over it, the silver in my hands is just to be spent. There's no need to care so much about it.
Mo Mo, it was my fault in the past. I was too narrow-minded. Please do not take it to heart. "
Hearing Chu Lian say that, Gui Mo did not know why she could not hold it back and two lines of tears flowed down. She choked with sobs and clenched the thin banknotes in her hands tightly. She was unable to speak and could only nod her head vigorously.
Which servant did not want to obtain their master's recognition and trust? In order to have a heart-to-heart talk with Chu Lian today, Gui Mo felt that all the grievances she had suffered in the past were worth it.
She silently said in her heart, 'Furen, did you see it?
Young Lady is really sensible now. You can be at ease in the underworld. '
Chu Lian saw that Gui Mo was out of control and deliberately wanted to make her happy.
She stretched her head and stared at Gui Mo's somewhat embarrassed face that was covered with tears. She smiled and her two bright almond eyes curved into two beautiful crescent moons, "What's the matter? Does Mo Mo despise me for giving too little?
When I earn money in the future, I must let Mo Mo count the money until her hands cramp. "
Gui Mo was amused by her and burst out laughing. She glared at Chu Lian unhappily, "Third Young Mistress only knows how to make this old servant happy!"
"I am not teasing Mo Mo. Could it be that Mo Mo does not believe me?"
"Believe!
Mo Mo believes you the most! "
"Hee hee."
Gui Mo stared at the beautiful face in front of her and her heart was suddenly enlightened. She felt that there was not a moment like now. In the past, Sixth Young Lady was gloomy and suffocating, but now, Sixth Young Lady was like a beautiful jade that had been wiped clean of dust. Her whole body was warm and made people want to get close to her.
As for whether Sixth Young Lady could earn money or not, what did it matter?
As long as both master and servant were safe, it was fine. She was very content.
