The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 1164
Chapter 1164: Her Junior Brothers Are the Professionals
Xie Pinggang was lost in thought for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he almost felt his hair stand on end again.
“You spent all the gold in the two chests? Did you use all the gold to build a house of gold?” Xie Pinggang furrowed his brows. “Such a spendthrift, the Crown Prince…”
Halfway through his sentence, he knew that he could not let the cat out of the bag. He changed his tone and said, “That’s too extravagant. You’re already so old. Don’t you know how to save some money for your retirement?”
He did not doubt Xie Qiao’s words.
This girl was really a spendthrift. When she lived in the Xie Residence, the expenses of the entire family could not compare to the expenses of her courtyard alone.
However, those expenses were also necessary. For instance, those medicinal pills, the charcoal fire in winter, her clothes, and the ginseng and bird’s nest wine that she ate…
Her standard of living could not be lowered, or else her body would be weak.
He had thought that the two big chests would last for a while, but he did not expect her to spend them all so fast…
It seemed that she had saved money when she was at the Xie Residence?
“That was a windfall. How could I spend it all by myself? Half of it was used for charity.” Xie Qiao was very calm. She was not afraid that Xie Pinggang would look into it.
She also knew that the money she had given him to keep his mouth shut was too little. Her eldest brother had put a lot of effort into her dowry, but if she did not have money, then she did not have money. She could not make money out of nothing?
The remaining half of the money was divided into a portion for her younger siblings to save, and a portion was placed in the Fortune Pavilion to maintain expenses. The remaining small portion was used to buy some brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones to send other ghouls to reincarnation. There really was not much left.
For instance, Fu Hanwen, who had died in the Octagon Garden earlier, had been included in her painting after all. So when this person was buried, she had even given him a slightly more expensive funeral ritual.
During Qingming Festival, she had even sent him to reincarnation.
He was a water ghoul. When he was reincarnated, she had bought gold powder and found a high-quality academic excellence brush. She had found the best ink and written quite a number of scriptures to burn. Only then was she able to bless his body bit by bit…
Also, she had to buy the medicinal herbs used to concoct cow tears. After using cow tears, the side effects of the Fu parents and future wife were great. She also had to give them some things to keep them safe…
It was all money!
It would not work if something was missing.
Thinking of this, Xie Qiao’s heart ached, but she could not do anything about it.
“Master Xie, I’m afraid you still don’t know. I’ve built an ancestral hall for the Baili family. Now that it’s finished, I’m preparing to take in a few children and raise them as descendants of the Baili family. The entire world map was drawn by the Baili family. If we think about it, the Xie family also has to take care of the Baili family. In the future, Young Master Xie, you’ll have to take care of those children more…” Xie Qiao added.
The corner of Xie Pinggang’s mouth twitched.
So it turned out that not only was he unable to benefit from those big treasure chests, he still had to pay for it?
“Baili family… It’s just a painting. It’s already given to the emperor. What does it have to do with me?” Xie Pinggang was not happy.
Why would he take care of the children?!
“Young Master Xie… I’m so busy, are you really not going to help me?” Xie Qiao’s face was full of resentment.
She was going to take the ghoul of Baili Ji around. There were a lot of beggars in the capital. It all depended on his taste. He would pick a few of them himself.
Now she had learned a lot from the Baili family. After taking them in, she would find a house to keep them. Of the five junior brothers, apart from the Crown Prince, they could all be teachers.
Especially Xiao Yurong. Even if they were not suitable to be his direct disciple, it did not matter. Occasionally, he would give them pointers. It was enough for them for the rest of their lives.
Once they were enlightened, they could pass on the things of the Baili family to them in the future. It could be considered that they would have successors.
She wanted to teach them personally, but she could not.
There were too many things to do and she could not do all of them. Instead, it would delay her clients. Her junior brothers were the professionals to be teachers.
