Chen Muke asked in amazement: "Do you think my salary is too small?" The salaries of officials in the Dafeng Dynasty were quite generous, including regular salary, millet, tea, money, firewood, etc. Chen Muke, a fifth-rank official, had a monthly salary of 69 taels. Now he is an official outside, and he doesn't have to pay the official position, but Chen Muke did not hand over the monthly salary to Tao. As for whether he used up or handed it to the concubine, Tao didn't care. She didn't want to bother him about this little money and never asked for his monthly salary, but unexpectedly, Chen Muke still had the face to ask her for money.

"I have never seen the master's salary, I don't know if it's more or less." Tao said coldly.

Chen Muke's face flashed with awkward look, "Don't mention the past, I will send my salary back to you every month from now on."

"With the salary of the master, I will be able to live a better life in the future. Now the family is not able to make ends meet. I sent the last pair of Lotus Glaze chrysanthemum ear bottles to the pawn shop to serve as 1,300 taels of silver. I paid off the debts of the past few months of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Now it is almost the end of the year. I am going to prepare to send the New Year gift from Jindu. I don't know where to get the silver. Now." Tao deliberately called poor. She made up her mind and would never give the silver to Chen Muke.

"Pa" Shen Muke's cup hit the ground, "Dao!"

"Even if the master smashed all these cups, I couldn't get the money." Tao looked at the cups that were broken into several pieces on the ground and said calmly.

Chen Muke suddenly saw the silver bead bullet on the couch, walked over, picked it up, turned around and glared at Tao, "What is this? You have money to defeat the little girl, but you don't have money to send me money? What do you mean? It's related to my official career, why don't you care? How did you become a wife's wife? Do you understand what it means to be a wife honored by husband?"

"I understand the principle that my wife is honored by her husband, but these silver beads were not given to Xiao Jiuer by me, but were gifts from Sister Miao next door to Xiao Jiuer." Tao said in a panic.

"Gift? Why?" Chen Muke didn't believe it. Is it too wasteful to give a box of silver beads to a little girl and play with it?

Tao smiled and said, "The master knows that the Tao and Cheng families have married. The eldest brother of the Cheng family, Yu, is promising and is now an editor in the Hanlin Academy. Sister Miao is happy. She likes Xiao Jiuer again, so she gave Xiao Jiuer a box of silver beads and asked Xiao Jiuer to play with. If the master really lacks money, he will talk to Xiao Jiuer and ask her to give the silver beads to the master. The master will take it to the silver house to redeem it, which is also useful."

"I won't be snatching things with the little girl." Chen Muke dropped the silver bead bullet and left in a furious manner.

When Mrs. Qi and others heard the sound of smashing the cup outside, they were worried. When they saw Chen Muke coming out, they hurried in and saw Tao sitting calmly on the chair, siping tea gracefully. There was nothing to do, so they felt relieved.

The family gathered together for dinner in the evening. Chen Muke stared at the red gold eight-treasure jewel circle worn by Chen Danxia with bad eyes. Chen Danxia is not a real four-year-old girl. He noticed it and his eyes flashed, saying, "Mom, the jewel circle given to me by my aunt is beautiful, Xiao Jiuer likes it."

Tao was stunned for a moment. She asked the gold shop to create the Yingluo Circle, not given by Jin Shi. However, when she saw Chen Muke's eyes, she immediately became clear and smiled and said, "It's good that you like it, it's not waste your aunt's intentions."

Chen Muke suddenly felt depressed and glared at Chen Danxia hatefully. The girl was as unpleasant as her mother. "How did you teach her? She is so petty that she can't get on the table."

Chen Danxia was confused. Why was she so petty? Why couldn't she get on the table?

Tao smiled faintly and said, "I asked Xiao Jiuer to call this. In my own family, there is no need to be so rude between mother and daughter."

"What is unfamiliarity? What is politeness? This is called rules. There is no education for small families." Chen Muke said sternly with a stern face.

Chen Danxia understood and stood up and said, "Xiao Jiu knew his mistake." He didn't want Chen Muke to blame Tao too much.

Chen Muke snorted coldly, and opened his mouth and said something else. Tao put the chopsticks heavily on the table, "Has the master's book of sages been read in vain?"
