Chapter 49: Silver Ticket

  Ye Chengli also found it somewhat amusing and casually instructed: "You don't need to attend to us here, withdraw for now!"

  The osmanthus finally understood the master's intention and retreated with Rui Xue together.

  "You're also too blind, I winked at you just now, it was to let you retreat with me. You actually dared to ask in front of the master if my eyes hurt or not. You're really too stupid! How can I explain you?" Rui Xue's face was full of disdain, almost pointing at Gui Yuan's forehead.

  Longan was innocent: "But you kept blinking frantically, of course I thought your eyes hurt. In the future, if there's a similar situation, just call me to leave together, no need to raise an eyebrow."

  ……

  Rui Xue quietly glanced at Guiyuan and stopped talking. It's better to drop this topic for now!

  Inside the house, Ye Chengli was warmly reminding Ye Qinglan: "Lan'er, from now on you will be the only one left in the capital. You must listen to your grandparents' words carefully. If you lack anything, go and tell your eldest aunt, do you understand?"

  Ye Qinglan nodded obediently.

  Ye Chengli took out a few thin pieces of paper from the hidden pocket of his sleeve: "This is for you."

  Ye Qinglan took a quick glance. The top one had a dark pattern, with four words in the middle. The characters were very clear and easy to recognize.

  Fifty taels exactly!

  It's actually silver ticket...

  "There are two hundred taels of silver bills here, you can take them yourself." Ye Chengli unconsciously lowered his voice: "Keep it to buy some favorite cosmetics and fabrics."

  It's obvious that Ye Chengli secretly gave it to her without telling Xue Shi.

  Ye Qinglan's heart warmed up, and she raised her eyes: "Thank you, Father." This was the first time she had called out the two words "Father" from the bottom of her heart, completely different from her previous hypocritical politeness.

  Two hundred taels of silver is not a big number, just enough to customize a few spring shirts in the brocade workshop or buy a few gold hairpins. But Ye Chengli can still think about leaving her some private house money while being busy, this thoughtfulness is enough to move her.

  Ye Chengli smiled: "Alright, stop thanking each other and hurry up to put it away. By the way, don't let Hongyu and Honglian know about this." If those two found out, it would definitely reach Xue Shi's ears by tonight.

  Ye Qinglan smiled and responded, carefully folding the silver ticket and putting it under her pillow.

  The father and daughter rarely spent time alone together like this, the atmosphere was actually a bit awkward. Ye Chengli didn't know what to say for a while, so he just sat stiffly in front of Ye Qinglan.

  Ye Qinglan said with a understanding smile: "Father must still have things to attend to, no need to stay here and accompany me."

  Ye Chengli stood up with the trend, reminded a few words to take good care of himself, and then left.

  After Ye Chengli left, Ye Qinglan took out the silver ticket from under the pillow and examined it carefully. At that time, the circulating silver tickets were all issued by major silver banks. It has a similar function to modern bank deposit slips. With the silver ticket, you can go to the ticket office to exchange for physical silver directly. No password is required, very convenient.

  Her monthly allowance is twenty taels of silver, which has always been collected by Mother Zhou. After deducting various expenses, there was hardly anything left. Now suddenly there are two hundred taels more, enough to cover unexpected expenses.

  No matter when, money is a good thing, the more the better!

  Ye Qinglan happily refolded the silver note and put it into a secret pocket in her close-fitting clothes.

  Just after finishing her work, Old Mother Zhou arrived. With a smiling face, she said: "Miss, I'm leaving tomorrow, and the keys to your trunks are all here. Who do you think should take care of them? Should it be Rui Xue or Hong Yu?"

  "Give it to Rui Xue!"

  Mother Zhou smiled and handed over a heavy bunch of keys to Rui Xue. Rui Xue suppressed the excitement in her heart and solemnly accepted the keys.

  Don't underestimate this bunch of keys, the meaning they represent is not ordinary. Only those who have gained the master's trust are qualified to keep all the trunk keys. With Zhou Mama leaving like this, it can be considered as fulfilling her wish...

  Delighted to return delighted, things that should be done by Rui Xue have not fallen behind.

  "Mother Zhou, would you please count the items in the trunk one by one?" Rui Xue said tactfully. In fact, it meant to check if Mother Zhou had secretly hidden anything.

  Zhou Mama's smile paused for a moment, and she subconsciously glanced at Ye Qinglan.

  She is Miss's wet nurse and has been by her side for so many years, yet she still needs to check the trunks when leaving, isn't that a bit distrustful of her?

  Ye Qinglan smiled faintly, but didn't say anything.

  Mother Zhou gritted her teeth secretly, but forced a smile on her face: "Miss has so many trunks, I'm afraid it'll take all night to sort them out!"

  Rui Xue nodded in agreement: "There's no need to check the clothes, shoes and socks, just count the jewelry box and silver money." After a pause, she added with a smile: "According to the rules, there should be an account book for these things. If Mother Zhou finds it troublesome, just hand over the account book to me and I'll review it slowly."

  "Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Mother Zhou said, "The account book is here, but I don't recognize many characters and the records aren't very detailed."

  It's strange if Ye Qinglan still can't hear the cat's cry at this point. This Zhou Mama, relying on being the original master's wet nurse and being in charge of money, must have embezzled a lot. Rui Xue is also aware of these things, otherwise she wouldn't deliberately want to check the accounts in front of her.

  "Mother Zhou, you will give the box of jewelry and silver to Rui Xue, let her sort it out slowly later." Ye Qinglan finally spoke up: "While there is still time, go pack your luggage carefully, don't miss anything."

  Mother Zhou felt relieved and smiled as she replied. She hastily brought over a box containing jewelry and silver coins, placed it on the table, and then withdrew.

  As soon as the door closed, Rui Xue's smile disappeared and she said with hatred: "I don't know how much she secretly took! Miss, why did you let her go so easily?" If they really checked the silver money account, it would be strange if Zhou Mama didn't lose face today.

  Yeqing Lan smiled casually: "Forget it, after all, she is my wet nurse and has served me for so many years. There's no merit but hard work, no need to pursue it."

  It's already an unexpected good thing that I can get rid of Zhou's mother so easily. A little loss of money is not worth worrying about.

  Rui Xue still felt a bit resentful and couldn't help but mutter: "Miss, you're too softhearted. At the very least, you should have let Mother Zhou bring out some of her private stash..."

  Ye Qinglan gently interrupted Rui Xue: "Open the box and let me take a look!"

  Rui Xue finally shut her mouth and quickly opened the box.

  Ye Qinglan came with interest, got up from bed, walked to the table and looked carefully for a few eyes.
