Delicate Flower Chapter 58: Arrest people
Everything has pros and cons.
Although the Qu brothers are trustworthy, they also want a lot of money.
Anything requires ten to eighty taels of silver. If it is a bit difficult, then it will cost two to thirty taels of silver.
Yu Tang is now facing the same dilemma as before - no money!
No, she is even poorer now than in her previous life.
In her previous life, she still had some dowry. Now, her mother-in-law and father would give her at most one tael of pocket money. If she said that she had spent all the money, they would still ask her how she spent the money. where it goes.
A few days ago, she also quietly hired a helper to do something about Wei Xiaoshan. Since it was just a matter of asking for information, it didn't matter who helped her. But even so, she has spent almost all the money she saved, and she will definitely not be able to hire the composer brothers.
It would be great if she could make money like others!
Yu Tang was extremely depressed.
She sat with her elbows in front of the desk by the window, looking at the chrysanthemums that were about to bloom in the yard, motionless, but her mind was spinning rapidly.
In her previous life, since she began to suspect the Li family, she began to investigate the Li family's affairs and keep an eye on the Li family's people. Only then did she realize that women could also do business. Especially for women in Suzhou and Hangzhou, many people use their private money to invest in maritime businesses. If the ship returns safely, they can earn money to buy a house. If the ship fails to return, the loss is only pollen and rouge money.
However, there must be a way to do this business.
Either he is doing business with his father and brother, or he is doing it with his clan members.
Otherwise it is easy to be fooled.
When the money was taken, it was only said that it was a stake in a certain fleet. After a year and a half, it was said that the fleet had collapsed and all the money was lost. Naturally, all the money taken out was wasted.
But there are exceptions to everything.
At the age of sixteen, Jiang Ling, the aunt of the Jiang family in Suzhou City, married the eldest son of the Yu family, who had been engaged since childhood, and became a widow at the age of seventeen.
Different from ordinary women's petty troubles, after her family fell into decline, in order to support her elderly mother-in-law and her young brother-in-law, she sold her dowry and used a large amount of property to invest in her brother Jiang Chao's fleet. Doing business at sea. And Jiang Chao seemed to be favored by the God of Wealth. Everything went smoothly and the fleet never had any trouble. However, in just five or six years, the Jiang family went from an ordinary merchant to the richest in Suzhou City. As a result, the Yu family became rich overnight and became one of the richest households in Suzhou.
Before Yu Tang died, the Jiang family was ambitiously trying to become an imperial merchant.
The Li family is extremely jealous.
You must know that the maritime business of the Li family and the Lin family also lost a lot of money due to fleet accidents.
Lin Jue even wanted to get in touch with the Jiang family and give Li Duan advice: "How can it be so easy to be an imperial merchant? There is no one in the court, so don't even think about it. Why don't you meet Jiang Chao and see? Can you take part in a share?"
Li Duan thinks this is impossible: "When Jiang Chao's business has reached its current level, I don't know how many people are willing to add icing on the cake! We know that Jiang Chao is a little late, not to mention that there are many official families in Suhang and Hangzhou, and they are well-established. People don’t know who they are, but our family is really a bit unsightly.”
Lin Jue advised Li Duan to be kind to Gu Xi: "Don't lose the watermelon, pick up the sesame seeds. Your uncle is only thirty years old this year and has been promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Don't be confused, because A small gain is a big gain."
The watermelon is Gu Xi, and the sesame is Yu Tang.
Li Duan listened, and for a while he and Gu Xi were inseparable. Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Li Duan had given up on her. Who knew that within half a year, Li Duan would return to his old ways and start scheming with her again.
Not only did she feel sorry for Gu Xi, but she also envied Jiang Ling for having the support of her natal brothers. She spent a lot of effort to buy a stake in Jiang Chao's fleet with fifty taels of silver in the name of A Tiao.
Two years later, the fleet returned safely again.
Yu Tang earned four hundred taels of silver.
At that moment, she was overjoyed. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, not knowing how to spend the money.
It was only because of this money that she was able to instigate the Qu family brothers, and finally persuaded Lin and Li Duan to break away from the Li family.
Now that I think about it, the Jiang family has not yet become prosperous at this time. Over the past year, Jiang Chao has begun to organize a fleet to persuade others to invest. It was a difficult time.
If she could seize this opportunity and become one of the earliest collaborators of the Jiang family, wouldn't she also be able to make a fortune like the Yu family?
Yu Tang sighed.
After all, it’s still a matter of money.
How can she get the money to invest in the Jiang family now...
Yu Tang was feeling sad when someone threw a flower at her.
The flower hit her on the nose, knocking her unconscious.
She looked up and saw that it was Yu Yuan.
"What's wrong with you?"
Yu Yuan asked with a smile, his brows unable to hide the joyful look on his face.
Yu Tang suddenly felt his eyes light up.
She doesn’t have big money, so can’t she borrow small money?
She stretched out her hand to borrow money from Yu Yuan: "I want to buy something."
It was the time when Yu Yuan was happy. Not to mention that Yu Tang just asked him for money at this time. Even if he asked him to carry her around Lin'an City twice, he would be happy to do so.
Yu Tang said slyly: "I want fifty taels of silver!"
"Ah!" Yu Yuan, who had his hands in his pockets, was stunned, "What do you want so much money for?"
He doesn’t have that much private money either!
Yu Tang smiled and said: "How about thirty taels? You are going to get married soon. Once you get married, you will be someone else's husband, not my brother. I will ask you for it in the future. If something is difficult, can’t you let me ask for enough at one time?”
Yu Yuan's face turned red and he said in awe: "We can't get married right away, so we have to wait until next spring. This is Mrs. Wei's intention. She is afraid that our marriage will be too urgent and cause other people to gossip about the girl. .
Yu Tang looked shocked and said: "Brother, you forgot about my sister before you even got married. You didn't even refute me, saying that I am my only brother when you get married!"
The two families have decided to hold a wedding for Yu Yuan and Miss Xiang in the spring. She has already heard about it from her mother, but she just didn't expect that Yu Yuan's heart would already be biased towards Miss Xiang before they got married.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Yu Yuan stumbled and explained, "I mean, since I am your brother, I will always be your brother, but if Miss Xiang gets married, After all, she is a bit strange to our family, so we should be nicer to her."
"Brother wants to be nicer to her, right?" Yu Tang pressed, but she felt really good in her heart.
In his previous life, Yu Yuan had never defended the Gao family in this way.
It can be seen that Miss Xiang is really the person he likes and is at the forefront of his heart.
In this life, her eldest cousin will definitely be very happy.
Yu Tang continued to play with him: "If you don't give me money, I will tell my eldest aunt that you will not care about A Mei's life or death when you have a daughter-in-law."
"It's nothing!" Yu Yuan said anxiously. Although he didn't know that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often dislike each other and even become mortal enemies because of an unintentional remark, but this did not prevent him from fearing that his mother would misunderstand Miss Xiang. Like her, "How much money do you want to borrow? A lot... not a lot."
He wanted to say too much that he wanted to give Miss Xiang a pearl headband or something, which could be regarded as his own gift to Miss Xiang. Seeing that Yu Tang looked dissatisfied, he was afraid that if he said this, Yu Tang would eat it. Sour, he swallowed the words tactfully and changed it to another sentence.
Yu Tang was indeed satisfied, and said to himself: "Why do I get thirty taels of silver!"
The Qu family brothers at this time were only slightly famous, and they were probably not as expensive as when she found them in the previous life. But judging from Yu Yuan's look, she guessed that this was the last time she asked him for money, and it would be hard for her to ask Yu Yuan for things in the future. After they got married, the things should belong to his wife and children. Even if she wanted to borrow money, she had to borrow it from Miss Xiang, not Yu Yuan, who had to borrow money and pay it back.
This is the experience she gained in her previous life.
Yu Yuan returned ten taels of silver: "Twenty taels at most, I don't have any more!"
Yu Tang didn’t dare to force Yu Yuan, fearing that he would lose the twenty taels of silver if he spilled the beans.
"Thank you, brother!" she said immediately, "I will definitely treat Miss Xiang well in the future."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yu Yuan scolded Yu Tang, but did not dare to really teach her a lesson, fearing that she would get angry and be bad to Miss Xiang, so he hurried home and took the banknote and said: "You Save your money."
Yu Tang asked his father to report to the official, just to arouse the enemy. Now most of the refugees in the Li family farm have run away. If the two people who killed Wei Xiaoshan are also in the farm and run away like this, they will definitely feel that it is not worth it. Eight or nine times out of ten, they will ask the Li family for money before running away. .
Yu Tang nodded repeatedly, and first asked A Tiao to find the Qu family brothers. He asked the Qu family brothers to keep an eye on Li Duan. If anyone came to Li Duan for money, he would find a way to arrest them and send them to Qingzhu Lane. Back alley.
The Qu family brothers had just become somewhat famous in the neighborhood at this time, and it was the time when they were establishing their trust and prestige. After agreeing, they immediately began to stare at the Li family people day and night.
Yu Tang held the twelve taels of silver left in his hand until his heart ached.
The Qu family brothers are so expensive!
She is now poor again.
But the Qu family brothers are indeed reliable in their work. Before the Double Ninth Festival, the Qu family brothers sent someone to bring her a message, saying that they had caught two refugees who went to ask Li Duan for money. However, these two people were also other people. They had named her before, but they did not expect that the two families wanted the same person. Although the other party mentioned it before her, they did not give a deposit. Although Yutang mentioned it later, she gave all the money. They decided to Leave it to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang was frightened for a while, but he was also a little lucky that he knew the style of these two brothers in his previous life, otherwise he would not be able to catch these two people even if he had a way.
She informed Wei Xiaochuan, accompanied by A Tiao, and the group met behind Qingzhu Lane.
Neither Yu Tang nor Wei Xiaochuan~IndoMTL.com~ have ever met these two people. Wei Xiaoshan’s matter is just suspicion and inference. Xiaochuan and Yu Tang, one in the open and the other in the dark, began to interrogate the Qu family brothers The two people were covered in bruises and bruises from the torment.
Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly that Yu Tang suspected that the Bodhisattvas were probably on her side at this time.
When Wei Xiaochuan asked them, they actually quickly recruited Wei Xiaoshan, who was ordered to kill by the Li family, in order to destroy the marriage between the Wei and Yu families. He also talked endlessly about his grievances with the Li family: "Originally, I was just supported by their family and helped with trivial tasks. I thought their family had a good background. Who knew that when the government went away, their family didn't even dare to let out a fart?" , the two of us had to kill several government officials before escaping. Now they are afraid that we will turn them in, so they sent several people to look for us. We are not vegetarians, and the worst is possible!"
At the end of the story, the two refugees were still shouting arrogantly, "You have the ability to go to the Li family. We are just doing things. The Li family is the murderer. Why are you looking for us?" "There are so many, but I didn't expect them to be useless. Persimmons can only be pinched by soft ones." "So what if you catch me? Do you still dare to send us to the government office? The Li family just wants to put an end to Yu." Regarding the young lady’s marriage, you sent us to the government office, which played into the Li family’s hands” and so on.
