Chapter 196 Chen Mansion(2/2)
Chen Ji smiled and said: "There is nothing to admit or deny. This is true. I do receive 2,500 taels of silver from the Construction Engineering and Preparation Bureau every year."
"How much?" Chen asked Xiaoteng and stood up suddenly: "Liu Quxing can only receive a few hundred taels, why can you receive so much?"
Chen Ji remained silent and didn't answer.
Mrs. Liang smiled gently, turned to Chen Liqin and said: "I suddenly thought of this matter today, and I was worried. Young people like to play, and Chen Ji had a gambling incident before. Now he has finally found his way back, and I am worried.
He had too much money in his hands and his confusion led to big mistakes."
Before Chen Liqin could speak, Mr. Liang continued: "Sir, it's very difficult for Chen Ji to turn back as a prodigal son. It's time to study hard. We must not let him get into bad habits again. I think so, and Chen Ji will give this
The silver is deposited in Chen's palace, and I won't touch it. I need some silver for Chen Ji, so I can come to report and withdraw it. When he passes the examination for merit, I will give him all the silver together."
Chen Liqin thought thoughtfully. Young people with too much money are indeed prone to bad habits.
He glanced at Chen Ji out of the corner of his eye, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
My son had just returned home. If he suddenly asked the other party to take out so much money, he would not be able to keep it all and the other party would leave in anger.
And Chen Ji knew very well that his aunt was not trying to steal his money.
Although two thousand five hundred taels is a lot, it is not too tempting for Luocheng Tongzhi. What's more, Chen Liqin is not an ordinary Tongzhi. The Chen family has deep roots, so how can it be short of money?
Mr. Liang said these words just to make him angry again.
In the strange and solemn atmosphere, Chen Wenxiao suddenly said: "Father, I think my mother is right. It would be fine if Chen Ji didn't have such bad marks before. Now that we have learned from the past, we must not leave the money in his hands. This is
It’s also for his own good.”
Chen Liqin thought about it again and again and looked up at Chen Ji: "What do you think?"
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Madam is thoughtful and considerate of everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young boy running in staggeringly. As he ran, he almost tripped over the cracks in the bricks in the courtyard: "Master, it's not good!"
Chen Liqin's face darkened: "How can you be in such a panic? The sky hasn't fallen yet!"
The boy stood outside the door, his face as pale as earth, and reported: "Master, there are eunuchs coming outside the door, claiming to be the White Rabbit and Cloud Sheep from the Secret Service!"
Chen Liqin stood up suddenly: "What? Who is here?"
"The White Rabbit and the Cloudy Sheep!"
Chen Liqin swayed.
He has always had a problem in his heart: the letter he wrote to Mr. Feng to beg the thieves is still missing. If the eunuchs get the letter to beg the thieves, he will be guilty of the same crime as the Liu family!
