”Forget it, forget it. No matter how much I say, you might not listen. You might even annoy me by talking too much. Tell me, how much money do you have left?” Seeing his expression, Zuo Renyou knew that it was useless to say anything more, so he did not bother about the money anymore.
Mu Jinzhi thought for a while and said: ”I spent seventy-five thousand silver for my little sister and added two villas, and also bought an antique book. I spent a total of eighty thousand silver, and my nephew still has a total of three hundred and thirty thousand silver, so I plan to keep the other thirty thousand for her to store as well as to store some for her wine.” However, he concealed the fact that Mu Rousang's furniture was that of a hundred year old Echinacea lanceolata Maxim.
Zuo Renyou nodded his head and said: ”That courtyard of his actually cost more than 780,000 taels of silver.
Mu Jinzhi looked troubled, and said: ”I'm afraid nephew will not be able to buy this house.”
Although Zuo Renyou saw that he was in a difficult situation, he was not in a rush either.
I was planning to look for him again, so I told him the truth. I was worried that the matter might be exposed, so I didn't tell you. I didn't think that he would send someone to deliver a letter today, and it turned out that when the Emperor was eating the brown rice today, he thought of the possibility of eating it with this lord for a year, so he agreed to let him return home.
Mu Jinzhi only listened seriously, and did not interrupt Zuo Renyou. As expected, he said: ”That old man thought over and over again, and felt that it would be better to sell it, but with a bit of money, he would first give him half of it, and the other half would be given to him within two to three years. He could make a contract and take it to the magistrate, and with each payment, you could go to the yamen and clear the bill, or even pay the debt once, and it would all be gone.”
After Mu Jinzhi thought about it, he finally decided that this was the only way, and said: ”Uncle, please help me clap your eyes a lot, please do not lie to me.”
Zuo Renyou smiled and nodded in agreement. He would take good care of his elder sister's only two bones and blood.
He thought of another matter and said, ”The two families your aunt picked out for you originally wanted to agree, but for some reason she didn't want to, and your aunt was so angry that her mouth was full of bubbles and she was lying on the bed.”
Mu Jinzhi laughed indifferently, he had previously mentioned that he was Zuo Renyou's nephew, so the spectators couldn't see anything clearly. In a flash, Mu Jinzhi had brought Mu Rousang to live in Zuo Mansion for half a year, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just a poor brat, with no place to stand, and not even a tile to cover her body.
”Aunty is so pissed off, my nephew can't feel at ease, it's fine if he doesn't want this kind of girl.”
Zuo Renyou's eyes flashed with appreciation. Mu Jinzhi's mental fortitude was beyond his expectations, and he said: ”Looks like life in the early years was able to grind you up extremely well, big sister should finally understand, and be at ease now. There's no need to be anxious about the marriage, they have had a bad feeling about it, and when they're regretting their decision in the future, hmph, aren't these things just for your eyes?”
How could they not know about the background of the two? It was just that when the Left Lady looked at the young lady, he had kept an eye out, and did not explain it too clearly.
Uncle, please help out on this matter. When you buy the house, I believe there will be an official media who will come to visit you.
Zuo Renyou continued: ”Tomorrow is your leave, come with me to visit that boss's home.” Looking at the sky outside, he said, ”You should go see your aunt. If you're late, you might just fall asleep after drinking the soup.”
Mu Jinzhi immediately retreated down the Left Lady's courtyard and met Mu Rousang, who was serving by the side. Seeing his expression, Mu Rousang knew that he did not put the two girls in her heart.
In Mu Jinzhi's words, at most, he could just go back to the small mountain village and marry one of them. All the women in the village were being taught well by the female teacher, and the one who was most worried was Left Lady.
”Little sister, you take good care of Aunt's side. Ever since you found the two of us, Aunt especially dotes on you.” Seeing that Left Lady had fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, Mu Jinzhi called Mu Rousang to go outside to speak.
”Got it, brother!” However, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I see that people are not interested in us, and think that our family's reputation is too low. ” However, Mu Rousang was extremely angry.
Mu Jinzhi laughed instead, and said: ”You're in a good mood, this is your brother's fortune, and I didn't marry him back. But why did you choose today?”
The more he spoke, the more puzzled he became.
Mu Rousang puffed up her cheeks in anger and said: ”Hmph, the young lady from the Censor's family was alright, but because we found out that both father and mother died, we felt that it was inappropriate.”
She felt very helpless about this. The people of the Zhou Dynasty believed that their child who had lost both parents was fortunate, and in addition to the fact that they did not have parents to guide them through, this family's education was most likely lacking another level.
Mu Jinzhi immediately understood and waved his hand. ”Forget it, don't bring up this matter anymore, it must be because Aunt felt that her cousin did not even have any face left, which was why she got so angry and fell ill.”
”That's right. It's just that big brother, I'm afraid our courtyard will be settled soon.” She was worried for Mu Jinzhi who had not decided on a wife.
Only then did Mu Jinzhi remember and advised: ”The house is already here, don't be anxious little sister, your brother's daughter-in-law cannot escape.”
There was a hidden meaning in his words? Mu Rousang stared at him adorably. If he did not call for help, he would not be able to come out of the door today.
