Chapter 93 Dutiful Wife
This time, Madam Ziyi lost her previous cheerfulness. She looked at Zheng Wenjing with a look of hesitation on her face.
Zheng Wenjing straightened her body, with a determined expression on her face that she would not give up or let go.
Madam Ziyi gritted her teeth and shut up.
Seeing that she gave up, Zheng Wenjing looked excited. She quickly stood up, walked to the stage, took out 30,000 taels of silver notes from her purse, all of which were 5,000 taels each, six in total, and handed them to Qi Mei. .
Tsk tsk tsk, what a rich man.
He actually carried thirty thousand taels of silver with him.
Qi Mei's face was full of envy. She glanced at Zheng Wenjing's purse intentionally or unintentionally, and found that there was a thick stack of banknotes in her purse. Her heart felt like a few little rabbits had jumped into it, and she was so excited. Down.
Yeah, yeah, she must get all the banknotes in Zheng Wenjing's pocket today.
Her little master has made a fortune. As long as she works hard and buys well, he will give her 1% of today's income as a bonus.
Although one percent is not much, it cannot support the huge amount of money. Besides, although this thing is expensive to sell, the material cost plus the craftsmanship cost are not cheap, so she has to work hard to sell more.
No, she got three hundred taels of silver, one percent of thirty thousand taels of silver.
She had never dreamed about it before.
Under the envious and jealous gazes of everyone, Zheng Wenjing and her maid walked off the stage holding the boxed jewelry and returned to their seats.
Qi Mei ordered the boy to take out the third set of jewelry that will be auctioned today...
The third set of jewelry is a set of imperial green carvings with blessings and longevity patterns suitable for the elderly. There are twenty-two pieces in total. Because the number of pieces is small, the asking price is also low, four thousand taels of silver.
"Our boss has said that the emperor of our Dasheng Dynasty is a benevolent emperor who puts filial piety first. This set of jewelry was specially launched by our boss to give the ladies present the opportunity to buy it back to honor their mother-in-law." As soon as these words came out, then Wouldn't it be that whoever buys it will lose the reputation of a dutiful wife.
For some ladies who have not always had a good reputation, this is a good opportunity to make a name for themselves again.
Spending thousands of taels of silver to buy a good reputation and please the mother-in-law at home, killing two birds with one stone, everyone is willing to do it.
Sure enough, someone couldn't wait to bid, "Four thousand five hundred taels."
She is the wife of Lieutenant General Cheng, who serves under Jiangnan General Soldier. Lieutenant General Cheng is Lord Wu's right-hand man. In recent years, with the marriage between the Wu family and the Dai family, Lieutenant General Cheng has also benefited from it.
Today, Mrs. Cheng is accompanied by Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Dai.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng can be considered a pitiful person.
She and Vice General Cheng were both from farmers in remote areas.
Deputy General Cheng's father had no father or mother since he was a child, and he grew up eating a lot of food. When he grew up, he managed a good farm. After working hard to earn a share of the family property (five acres of paddy fields), he married Aunt Cheng.

His eldest brother was favored by his mother and loved by his father. He didn't have to do any work since he was a child. He and his father did all the hard work at home. Because of this, he developed good physical strength from an early age.
When he was seventeen years old, the Tatars suddenly invaded and the country was in chaos. Many soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty died in order to fight against them.
Less than a month after the war started, the court suddenly forced people to serve as soldiers. If there were more than two boys in the family, one man would have to serve as a soldier.
