P.S.: Let me make it clear in advance that this is a fictional world and not a historical text. It's just that it's generally the same.
In the official history, the common currency of the Tang Dynasty was copper coins and brocade. Silver and gold were rare. Silver notes were only issued during the Northern Song Dynasty, and private savings were prohibited.
However, in order to make it more prominent, I will make some changes in this aspect. A large amount of money will be replaced with silver notes. I hope everyone can understand.
" Also, there's the issue of updating. I know that it's been very slow these few days, but I have no choice. Everyone knows that it's almost the new year. There are many things at home that I have to help with, so I can't take too much time to update.
But I promise that I won't stop updating, and I'll try my best to update more. After the first day of the new year, when I have nothing to do at home, I should be able to update 10,000 words a day.
Forgive me.
......
......
The next morning, at the Cheng Residence.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the daily check-in. You have received the skill: Brewing Proficiency!"
Cheng Chuyu was a little surprised when he heard the system notification. He didn't expect today's sign-in reward to be so good.
In the past, the daily check-in reward was either daily necessities or groceries. For example, the check-in reward yesterday was only a towel.
To be able to obtain a small skill, his luck was already bursting.
Not long after the notification, a stream of information surged into his mind.
The process was not long, but it was a little painful.
After receiving all of them, Cheng Chuyu couldn't help but check.
Brewing Mastery included all the types of wine in his previous life. The steps to make all kinds of wine were very detailed.
As long as he had the corresponding materials, Cheng Chuyu felt that he could make all kinds of wine.
The taste of the wine in this era was really not flattering. He had only drunk it once, and he did not have the desire to drink it again.
Now that he had the Brewing Proficiency, he would definitely brew a batch of high-quality wine after the competition.
Then, Cheng Chuyu went to find Cheng Yaojin.
"Dad, can we discuss something?"
Cheng Chuyu had a flattering smile on his face.
"If you have something to say, say it," Cheng Yaojin said lightly.”
"I'm a little tight on money. I want to borrow some money from you. You see..."
Although they were father and son, and there was no longer any estrangement between them, Cheng Chuyu still felt a little awkward when it came to money.
"How much?" Cheng Yaojin frowned.”
"Not much. A hundred thousand taels of silver is enough.”
Hearing this amount, Cheng Yaojin's face twitched.
After a while, terrifying veins popped out on his forehead. He glared at Cheng Chuyu and roared,"The annual income of our Cheng Residence's businesses is only three hundred thousand taels. One hundred thousand taels is already four months of our Cheng Residence's income! You actually have the cheek to say that you don't have much?”
Cheng Yaojin was furious. He did have some properties, but he was not cut out for business. Those properties were all managed by his wife.
However, Mrs. Cheng did not have much experience in this area. Over the years, she had only made some progress in those industries and did not earn much.
Now that he heard Cheng Chuyu asking for 100,000 taels, it would be strange if he wasn't angry.
Cheng Chuyu hesitated for a moment and probed,"Then... Fifty thousand taels?"
Cheng Yaojin said angrily," Get lost. I don't even have 50,000 taels of silver. I've been secretly saving up less than 100 taels of silver without your mother's knowledge. I'll give you 50 taels of silver at most. No more."”
Cheng Chuyu:
He had never expected that his father, who was brave and valiant on the battlefield outside and dignified at home, was secretly controlled by his mother. He only had less than a hundred taels of silver in his private savings.
Indeed, one thing was better than another, and one mountain was higher than another.
Cheng Chuyu suppressed his laughter and said sympathetically,"I didn't expect you to have suffered more than us all these years.”
Cheng Yaojin, this rough man, blushed for the first time. He stomped on Cheng Chuyu's butt and glared at her angrily,"You're quite bold, aren't you? You even dare to ostracize your old man."
"If you want money, ask your mother. As long as you can convince your mother, I don't have any objections.”
Cheng Chuyu patted his butt, chuckled, and slipped away.
Not long after, Cheng Chuyu found Madam Cheng.
Cheng Chuyu scratched his head and said awkwardly,"Mother, I have something I need to do. I want to borrow 100,000 taels from you…"
"Wait a minute."
Madam Cheng took out 100,000 silver notes from a hidden compartment on the dressing table.
However, he directly handed it to Cheng Chuyu and said with a smile,"Take it."
Cheng Chuyu was stunned and said,"Mother, why don't you…"
Mrs. Cheng interrupted with a smile." Although I don't know what you want the money for, I know that you're naturally intelligent. You must have your own ideas. Moreover, you're already grown up. I believe that you won't mess around with this money."”
Pausing for a moment, he patted Cheng Chuliang's head and said softly,"Mother has always been very busy and has no time to care about you. This is Mother's fault.”
"Your nature is playful, but mother knows that your nature is not bad.”
"No matter what outsiders say about you, mother will always support you.”
"Just do whatever you want to do. Mother and Father will take care of the trouble for you.”
...
He neither questioned nor asked.
There was only trust and support.
Cheng Chuyu listened quietly. Looking at her mother's gentle and loving gaze, her hair had turned white. Time had quietly left its mark on her.
He felt his throat dry up and his eyes turned red.
This was the first time his mother had told him so much from the bottom of her heart.
He was touched and guilty.
He had mixed feelings.
He really should think more about this family.
After hearing Mrs. Cheng's words, Cheng Chuyu raised her head slightly and said in a hoarse voice,"Thank you, Mother."
There were thousands of words in his heart, but this was the only word he could say.
Perhaps it was a little distant, but it was the most practical.
Madam Cheng rolled her eyes at Cheng Chuyu and said,"Silly child, why are you still saying thank you to Mother? You can use this money as much as you want. You don't have to worry so much. If it's not enough, you can ask Mother for more.”
"Good!"
Cheng Chuyu's eyes were red. She nodded fiercely and walked out of the room.
A moment later, big tears rolled down her face.。
