Concubine Raiders Chapter 676: Depressed (medium)
"You can pay it back slowly. It's just that he borrowed 600,000 taels from the House of Internal Affairs when he opened the mansion, and he still hasn't paid it off yet!" Xu Lingyi smiled, "He Chengbi made a great victory in Fujian, and the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to strengthen southern Fujian. For defense, the Yellow River burst last year, and the Xijiang River was severely drought this year. The emperor had a lot of money to spend. His previous account could not be repaid slowly, but at this point, where can I borrow money."
Eleven mothers couldn't help laughing: "Then Lord Yong borrowed explicitly or secretly?"
I walked to the emperor and called poor. By secretly borrowing, Xu Lingyi took out so much money in one breath, wondering if the emperor would doubt the financial status of the Xu family.
"Naturally, I borrowed it clearly." Xu Lingyi smiled." "I took out 200,000 taels, borrowed 200,000 taels from the silver building, and 100,000 taels from relatives and friends, so I didn't borrow much. "
Eleven Niang felt a little wrong: "For such a large sum of silver, you just paid off the debt to Lord Yong. Will the emperor slander you and donate more?"
"Donate, donate." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "The big deal will come when I will sell the farms in Daxing and the shops in Yanjing."
"It's not like it!" Eleven Niang said, "Yanjing's shop is on East and West Streets. If it is sold, it will not be bought back even if you have money."
"I'm still afraid that he won't sell me!" Xu Lingyi didn't care. "The old won't go, and the new won't come. Don't worry." "
The two were talking here, and Jiang had already arrived at Xu Sijie's study.
"What's wrong with Xiang Gong?" She sat on the side of Chuáng and tried Xu Sichen's forehead with the back of her hand. "Why are you uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine." Xu Sizhen didn't expect Jiang to come in person, and sat up a little embarrassed. "It's been a long time since I saw my fifth brother. I came over to talk to my fifth brother, but I didn't expect to fall asleep." , Laughed twice.
"My father-in-law has been helping my father-in-law with general affairs these days." I was tired thinking about it. "Jiang said with a smile, calling Baozhu, "Go and make a pot of ginseng tea for Fourth Master." "
"No need," Xu Si said hurriedly, "Here is the fifth brother!"
"Yes." Jiang said with a smile, "Msang Gong" then let's go back! "
Xu Sichen is not good enough to continue staying here, following Jiang's return to Danbozhai.
Jiang made ginseng tea in person, and sat aside with a smile to watch him drink tea.
"Msang Gong, it will be the ninth day of September in a few days. How did you spend your family at this time in previous years?"
Xu Sijian saw that there was something in her words, and said, "Do you have any ideas?" His eyes fell on her abdomen.
"I'm like this, it's natural to stay at home. Otherwise, it's not a sin to make grandmother and mother worry." Jiang said, "I think, if there are no special habits in the house, it is worse than us. As the host, I invited my grandmother, mother, five aunts, and the uncle and sister-in-law of Sixiang Hutong to Danbozhai to enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs. What do you think?"
Xu Sichen hesitated.
As soon as he was reprimanded by his father, he gave a big banquet without any intention of reflecting on it. If he knew it, he might be even more angry.
Jiang sees it in his heart.
But she also has her intentions.
"Does the Xianggong feel bad?" Jiang smiled, "It is best to invite the elders on the Double Ninth Festival. I heard my sister-in-law say that the uncle will go out to collect the accounts after the Double Ninth Festival. We just took advantage of this opportunity Get together. Otherwise, you have to wait until the New Year."
"Accounting!" Xu Sichen was surprised. Xu Siqin helped Fang look at the dowry. Although Zi didn't publicize it everywhere, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Xu Sichen had also faintly heard of it, but he didn't expect Xu Siqin to collect the accounts.
Jiang nodded and said with emotion: "I used to think that uncle was a hearty person. I never thought that uncle is still a down-to-earth person. If you change someone else," who will collect the bills in the wind and rain? Send a trustworthy steward and leave. "He said, "I listen to my sister-in-law's tone." The main reason the uncle wants to collect accounts is to take advantage of this opportunity to do some sales and subsidize the family. "
"No way!" Xu Sizhen didn't believe it, "Uncle San should have a lot of silver in his hands."
"Sitting and eating the mountain is empty." Jiang said, "After all, the third uncle has been assigned for so many years, and there is no serious errand. It is more important to use one less than one. But the third uncle came from the Yongping Houfu after all, and the entertainment in the four seasons of the year and the family visits were a huge expense. Sister-in-law often took money to help her in emergency. The uncle doesn't want to use his sister-in-law's dowry, and is ready to make a small business. My sister-in-law persuaded the uncle that there are also tricks to doing business. It's better to help the sister-in-law manage the accounts of the dowry first, walk around and look around, and it won't be too late to open a shop when you have an eye for the business. The uncle heard that it made sense, so he began to help his sister-in-law manage the account factory. Sometimes the accounts were unclear, so he had to go to the farm to see it. When he encountered traders on the road, he naturally had to talk a few words. "The uncle who went back and forth took advantage of the collection of accounts and made a few transactions and made some money. Gradually, I have a doorway. I heard that I plan to spend money on Yanjing East Street or West Street in the next two years!" He smiled, "I heard my sister-in-law say that in the past, the third uncle had the final say on everything in the family. Now the uncle has provoked the responsibility of supporting the family, and the third uncle has to discuss it with him!"
Xu Sichen's eyes lit up as he listened.
Jiang saw it in his eyes, and was happy in his heart. Speaking of Jinshi simply.
"Miangong don't know yet? San Bo is an empty shell!"
Xu Si was taken aback: "Who did you listen to?"
"Sansao said it herself." Jiang said with a smile, "It is said that San Bo Dai Lu is not enough to buy rice for two days. It is true that San Bo's colleagues are richer than one." One is bigger than the other. San Bo can't do it alone, right? But if you follow the trend, San Bo was just a small standard-bearer guard when he was in the Imperial Guard, and he couldn't get any oil or water. Um, if you change a place, even if your father-in-law or fourth uncle comes forward to help you speak, you still need to do what you need to do. Otherwise, others will think you are stingy and will never deal with you again. If there is any good thing, they will not take care of you. Up.
San Bo simply didn't look for anyone, trying to get along with Shangfeng. There is no less money during the New Year. For this, Sansao sold all the house she married. "
"How can I sell the dowry house?" Xu Si said in a stupefied manner, "Could it be that the third uncle and the eldest brother just let them do nothing like this?"
"I asked Sansao the same." Jiang said, "Sansao said that there are more firewood and more rice than life. The uncle and sisters-in-law watched their hard life and maintained them everywhere." They went to the street to buy a box of huā powder. Also double. How could they reach out and ask for money from the sister-in-law. Just go back and discuss with her natal family. Lord Jin heard that it was for this matter," he agreed without saying a word. He also said, "This matter has a big or small urgency. The top priority of San Bo is to find a way and put him to the Five City Soldiers and Mars to be the chief of the party. The house is gone. Just buy it again, but this opportunity is gone, even if you have money, you can't buy it. "
Speaking of this, Jiang gave a deep glance at Xu Sizhen: "It can be seen that if this is a serious matter, whether it is selling land or selling land, none of the elders in the family will not support it."
"Really?" His wife's words shocked him, holding the ginseng tea, looking a little absent-minded.
"Why not?" Jiang said with a smile, "Look at the fifth brother. Because I want to go to the official career." There is already a gentleman at home, and the father-in-law asked his uncle to help introduce Mr. Chang. Looking at the sixth brother, the lady who wants to learn martial arts skills, the uncle went everywhere to find the master, and even went to Yanjing himself. It was Brother Seven, Sun Laohou sent two masters over. Think about it, it will take me less effort. But no matter whether it’s father-in-law or grandfather Sun, none of them find it troublesome. "It's not because it is related to the future of the fifth and sixth brothers. Therefore, the priorities must be clearly distinguished."
Xu Sichen did not say anything.
Jiang knows that today's words can only end here. Besides, it will only arouse Xu Sichen's disgust.
She stood up with a smile, and put her eye on today’s topic: "Sang-gong drank ginseng tea, just take a break! I’m going to give birth in a few days, and I’m counting on Xiang-gong to give it to me. What an idea!"
"Oh!" Xu Sizhen came back to his senses, "Don't worry, I will accompany you when the time comes." Jiang smiled and helped Xu Sizhen pull the front pillow behind him and put on a small square pillow. shì he lay down.
Xu Sizhen didn't feel sleepy at all, and he didn't care about his wife's kindness. He lay alone in the inner room where the needles could be heard, thinking about Xu Siqin and Xu Sijian over and over.
In the hall, the worried Yuan Baozhu’s family saw Jiang coming out, hurriedly greeted him, and whispered: "What's wrong? The Fourth Young Master is not angry, right?"
"I've said everything that should be said." Jiang's heart is not clear, "It depends on what the fourth master thinks!"
"The Fourth Young Master is a wise man." Yuan Baozhu's family comforted her, "I will definitely appreciate your hard work."
"I'm just doing my duty as a wife." Jiang said this, but secretly prayed that Xu Sichen would understand his intentions.
Yuan Baozhu looked at the house, and he hesitated to shout "Four Young Masters nǎinǎi": "Look, Madam, do we want to say something through...", so even though the Four Young Masters still go their own way, they The girl’s responsibility is also less.
"It's still as thoughtful as my mother thought." Jiang said hurriedly, "Hurry up and arrange for someone to pass a note! Maybe the mother-in-law is worried! I'm worried!"
"This Fang family~IndoMTL.com~ really speaks." Eleven mother smiled and asked Amber who was talking back and forth, "Brother Jian’s daughter-in-law, fù, really sold the dowry house? Why didn’t I listen Talk about it!"
"It's sold." Amber smiled, "I just don't think the place is good." He sold it and changed it to a better, smaller house. "Eleven Mother laughed, turned and smiled at Xu Lingyi, "There is a good wife in the family, like a treasure. Master Hou, should you rest assured now? "
Xu Lingyi was really relieved.
He thought for a while and said: "I have something to discuss with you!"
Eleven Mother listened carefully.
"You said, how about matching Yingniang with the commandment brother?" Eleven Niang was surprised.
In her heart "They are cousins.
"That kid has been likable since he was a child." Xu Lingyi said Shen Yin, "but I can ask my brother to be older and Jin to be a little younger. Only brother Jie, who is quite young. She likes you like huāhuā Hastily, you are her aunt again. If she marries in, our family will not treat her anyway. You also have a companion. How are you?"
