The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

And in the front hall of General Hongxiu's mansion.

After a long silence, Tang Xiaohui finally couldn't help it:

"Ruoxi! It's already noon. You haven't slept all night. Have some lunch!"

Ye Haomo walked to Xia Ruoxi's side, gently touched Xia Ruoxi's shoulder, and asked in a concerned voice:

"Did your brother make you angry again?"

"Ruoxi! He's just a lowly corpse-stitcher!"

"Why do you have to argue with him?"

When Tang Xiaohui heard Ye Qianxuan, she became furious and shouted:

"That's right! That damn bitch! Relying on her own abilities, she's truly lawless!"

"But what good is it, no matter how capable he is? A lowly person is a lowly person! He can only wear plain clothes and eat chaff for the rest of his life. That's something he can never change!"

"Compared to our family, we have a great general and a compiler, and we live a very happy life!"

"Oh! By the way, Ruoxi! Please ask the accountant to approve some money for me!"

"The New Year is coming soon, so I can make you two some new clothes!"

Tang Xiaohui cursed while putting forward her own demands.

Xia Ruoxi was speechless and just said "hmm".

"By the way, Ruoxi, the New Year is coming to an end, and I've been at Anlu Academy for quite some time. Socializing and giving gifts to colleagues all require money. Can you ask the accountant to give me some money?"

Ye Haomo rubbed Xia Ruoxi's shoulders and said with a harmless look on his face.

Xia Ruoxi remained silent.

She had just returned to the court in triumph, and she used all her rewards to exchange for Ye Haomo's life!

Now I only have a small salary, but I still have to support this mother and son!

At this moment, Xia Ruoxi suddenly thought of Ye Qianxuan again, and a trace of regret surged in her heart.

When I was with Ye Qianxuan, Ye Qianxuan never reached out to me...

"Hey! Ruoxi is General Baiyu! As General Baiyu's husband, you should spend some money on socializing! But it's only a few hundred taels of silver!"

"Then I'll make you a robe out of a piece of brocade, and I'll make sure you don't lose face for Ruoxi!"

"Then go visit that beastly brother of yours and let him see for himself whether our lives are a hundred times or a thousand times better than his, a lowly man who is only fit to wear plain clothes!"

Tang Xiaohui spoke loudly!

Xia Ruoxi looked up in surprise.

Even after being promoted to the third rank, his annual salary was only a thousand taels!

When I was at the fifth rank before, my annual salary was no more than five hundred!

How did Tang Xiaohui say nonchalantly, "It's just a few hundred taels of silver"?

Also, Yunjin is the best silk in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is usually only supplied to the imperial palace. It costs fifty taels per foot when sold to the public. Making a set of clothes requires at least several hundred taels!

Ye Haomo is just an editor with an annual salary of twenty taels of silver. Is it appropriate for him to wear this?

"Let's collect some budget. There has been no war recently, and my rewards were all taken back by His Majesty because I saved Hao Mo. There is not that much money in the palace now."

Xia Ruoxi said.

Tang Xiaohui started to laugh it off, saying that Xia Ruoxi was now a third-rank official, so if she was just greedy, wouldn't she have hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver?!

Moreover, Ye Haomo’s identity is different now. He is the husband of a third-rank general. It is not appropriate for him to wear the same robe all the time!

Although Xia Ruoxi is a military officer, she is also a woman and should make a few dresses for herself!

As the mother-in-law of a third-rank military officer and the mother of an editor at Anlu Academy, Tang Xiaohui should dress better, otherwise it would bring shame to the young couple.

"I told you! No money!"

Xia Ruoxi was not a pushover either. She was already filled with regret, and immediately yelled out in a bad mood.

Tang Xiaohui's face immediately turned gloomy.

Ye Haomo also quickly winked at Tang Xiaohui: "Yes, mother! Ruoxi has just been promoted to the third rank, and the reward for her triumphant return to the court has been taken back. There really is no more money left at home!"

"Let's wait until next year! Next year, when Ruoxi wins a few more battles and receives rewards from His Majesty, and when I climb the ladder and become the dean of Anlu Academy, I will definitely give you a piece of Yunjin and honor you with my kindness!"

Tang Xiaohui curled her lips and rolled her eyes to the sky!

She thought that if she clung to her youngest son and daughter-in-law, she would be able to live a good life from now on!

Why are we still living in such a tight situation?

I can’t even wear a piece of brocade clothing!

Xia Ruoxi also had a bitter mouth and didn't want to speak, letting the regret in her heart continue to spread!

"Report!"

At this moment, the guard at the door ran in quickly, then stood in front of the three people, and said breathlessly:

"Outside the door... Ye Qianxuan outside the door wants to see you!"

Tang Xiaohui was already in a bad mood. When she heard Ye Qianxuan's name, she frowned and started cursing:

"That lowly bastard! He actually came to my house to get scolded! I'll give him a good beating!"

Tang Xiaohui rolled up her sleeves and walked out cursing.

As soon as I walked out, I saw the eight-horse carriage outside the open gate of the mansion!

Suddenly, her words were choked in her throat!

Those boxes of rare treasures sparkled brightly under the warm winter sun!

Those pieces of bright and shiny satin sparkle with charming brilliance!

The light reflected by the gold was almost blinding her eyes!

"This this……"

Tang Xiaohui was completely dumbfounded.

Ye Haomo, who had chased after him, was also completely stunned!

Xia Ruoxi looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile bitterly and lowered her head.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qianxuan actually chased after him and got close to him for revenge!

"He's a lowly person! Where did he get all this?"

"No...no...Is my vision blurry?"

"Brother, is this... becoming rich..."

Tang Xiaohui and Ye Haomo were both stunned.

"His Majesty rewarded him for his contribution in protecting the Ninth Princess." Xia Ruoxi came out and stood behind the mother and son, saying in a bitter voice:

"In total, Ye Qianxuan was rewarded with one thousand taels of gold, five hundred pieces of silk, and ten boxes of natural treasures."

"Clap!"

After hearing this, Tang Xiaohui was so shocked that she sat down on the ground.

Ye Haomo also opened his eyes and mouth wide, unable to speak!

Tang Xiaohui loves silk the most. With just one glance, she can tell that these silks are many times better than the brocades found in the market!

There are actually 500 pieces of such expensive and exquisite material...

How nice it would be if it were mine!

I could make a lot of robes, walk around the streets in style, and then...

Tang Xiaohui was immersed in her own fantasy and was stunned by the sudden happiness!

Ye Haomo was not much better than Tang Xiaohui. He couldn't take his eyes off the one thousand taels of gold!

The mother and son looked at each other, and saw something in each other's eyes, and then said in unison:

"I'll go meet Ying!"

after that.

"son!"

"elder brother!"

Enthusiastic shouts echoed throughout General Hongxiu's residence, and they were endless...
