Seeing that Cao Da was undecided, He Guanglie took a sip of the wine in the wine cup and got up and said, "There are still a few days to go, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, you think about it first, and come to me when you think about it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's not early, I'm going back to the camp tomorrow morning, so I'll leave first. ”
Cao Da needs to think about it, and it is best to let Chunxiang go to Qiuxiang to find out the situation more clearly in order to rest assured. Thinking so, Cao Da didn't keep He Guanglie, got up and sent him out of the door.
Cao Da thought about it for two days, and on the third day, he found He Guanglie and expressed his willingness to go to Yezhou with their people. He Guanglie didn't say much, and told Cao Da that he would leave in two days, and let someone come to explain some precautions to him in a while.
Cao Da stopped He Guanglie again and said: "Cousin, I am afraid that the road will be unstable when I come to Donglin this time, so I don't have too much principal, I don't know if I can borrow some from you for a turnover?"
Is this a white wolf who wants to empty gloves? Earn money and pay back, and don't pay back if you don't earn money?
He Guanglie understood Cao Da's little abacus in his heart, but he didn't point it out, just asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
Cao Da thought for a while: "Two thousand taels." ”
He Guanglie raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
Cao Da hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient for two thousand taels of cousins to take it out, how about one thousand five hundred taels?"
He Guanglie's face was unfathomable: "Cousin, do you know how much I earn a year?"
Cao Da shook his head: "My cousin is young and promising, and now he is the commander of the Tianzheng Sanpin Dengzhou Battalion, so he must be not low." ”
He Guanglie said with a smile: "My annual salary is 480 taels." If my cousin borrows this casually, my family will go hungry for three years without eating or drinking!"
Cao Da smiled and said: "Cousin is humble in what he said, when my brother was in the capital, I heard that you have made money in the past few years......
He Guanglie interrupted Cao Da and said very shamefully: "I am a martial artist, where did I come from to make money? The gifts given to the elders in Beijing during the New Year's holidays are all the private rooms of the daughter-in-law. Let me tell you the truth, my daughter-in-law has some private money in her hand, but I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to borrow the money from your brother-in-law, right?"
Cao Da couldn't help but be a little short of words, but he was not thin-skinned, and immediately wanted to say something more, but he was still intercepted by He Guanglie, He Guanglie said: "That's it, there are several big money houses in this Penglai City, and the boss of the money bank has some friendship with me, how about I help you pull the strings from it and let you borrow 1,500 taels of silver from the money bank at low interest for emergencies?"
Cao Da hesitated: "This ...... What do you want to pledge?"
He Guanglie couldn't help but be impatient: "This is natural! People open a money bank, not a good hall! Didn't you get two land deeds from your cousin? It's enough to take them out as collateral." ”
Although Cao Jiaming's family wealth is in the hands of Cao Fei's wife Chen, Cao Fei has taken benefits from the old lady over the years, and there must be some private houses. Cao Da, as Cao Fei's favorite eldest son, naturally cannot really have no permanent property.
Cao Da was naturally reluctant when he heard this.
"Why don't you think about it again?" He Guanglie said indifferently.
Cao Da knew that he had to make a decision now, otherwise he would not be able to catch up, so he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay! ”
He Guanglie nodded: "I happen to be free today, I can accompany you on a trip, you can go back and get the title deed first." ”
In the end, Cao Da borrowed 1,500 taels from Qianzhuang with two land deeds as the principal for this trip to Yezhou.
Two days later, Cao Da set off for Yezhou with He Guanglie's subordinates.
Cao Da is gone, and Chunxiang is inconvenient for a woman to follow, and she still lives in the outer courtyard of the He family. Chunxiang went to Qiuxiang's house from time to time, and the two women chatted and talked every day.
On this day, He Guanglie rode back from outside, but was blocked by a figure who suddenly jumped out on the street outside his gate, and He Guanglie hurriedly stopped the horse so that no one was hurt.
He Guanglie's little servant scolded: "You don't have long eyes when you walk!"
The person blocking the road looked up at He Guanglie and called out brightly: "Master ......"
He Guanglie looked down and couldn't help frowning: "Are you ...... Autumn fragrance?"
Qiu Xiang looked up at He Guanglie and said with tears in her eyes: "Master, you still remember the slave maid, and it is not in vain that the slave and maid always remember the master."
He Guanglie's brows furrowed even tighter: "What kind of mess, aren't you sick?"
Qiu Xiang pounced on the road and cried: "Master, the slave and the maid can't stand it anymore! You take the slave and the maid away! The slave and the maid are willing to make you a cow and a horse!"
Seeing passers-by looking over here, He Guanglie was a little irritable.
Qiu Xiang was still crying there: "In the past, Mrs. couldn't tolerate the slave maid, but now she is inconvenient, and the slave and maid are willing to go back to serve her, and the slave and maid will not fight ......for anything."
He Guanglie was really annoyed now, and directly whipped Qiu Xiang away: "Get out!"
Qiu Xiang was whipped and rolled on the ground, and He Guanglie rode away without looking back.
When He Guanglie's figure was out of sight, Chunxiang came out of the shadows and helped Qiuxiang up: "It's not hurt, is it?"
Qiu Xiang was not hurt, she grabbed Haruka's hand, wiped away her tears and asked, "Does this really work?"
Chunxiang rolled her eyes: "Of course it works! Didn't you say that the third master trusted you very much before the third wife came to Donglin? ”
Qiu Xiang nodded, with a look of resentment: "That's right, it was only after the third wife came that the master began to treat me with no words!"
Chunxiang helped Qiu Xiang and whispered: "That's right! In my opinion, the third master may not be ruthless to you! It's just because of the third wife's face that it's not easy to get close to you! Now that the third wife is pregnant and can't serve the third master, your man has gone to Yezhou again, if you want to return to the He family, this is the best opportunity." ”
Qiu Xiang was a little unsure: "But I'm all now, I'm not a complete body, won't the third master mind?"
Chunxiang said with a smile: "What's this! How can you say it? A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is better than stealing! A man is better than this!"
Qiu Xiang has been complaining to Chunxiang these days, and after complaining, she is even more convinced that she has suffered a great grievance with the current man, and she can't wait to get out of the small house with Wu Liang immediately and return to a high gate like the He family to be her aunt. In addition, there is a Chunxiang who doesn't know what to fan the flames on the side, so there is today's play.
He Guanglie is a big man, he doesn't have too much delicate thinking when facing people other than Wei's, and he only thinks that Qiu Xiang is guilty of some hysteria, and he turns his head and forgets about it. However, in the next period of time, He Guanglie was very busy with official business, and Qiu Xiang waited and waited for no more opportunity to meet him.
On this day, He Linwan reported the accounts to Wei's in Wei's room, and the porter suddenly sent a post.
Wei took the post and glanced at it, but handed it to He Linwan: "It's for you." ”
He Linwan has been in Donglin for a few years, and occasionally receives posts from some ladies here, but the atmosphere in Donglin is not the same as in the capital, I don't know if it's because there are many wives and ladies of the military generals here, and there are very few elegant things to meet in summer to enjoy flowers and cook snow in winter, and occasionally one or two invitation stickers are birthday banquets and the like. So when He Linwan opened the post and saw at first glance that it was an invitation to go to Qingqing together, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, but when she saw the final signature, He Linwan was not surprised.
Wei asked, "Is it an invitation from the new Miss Chen Dufu family?"
He Linwan seemed to be thinking about something when he took the post, and nodded when he heard Wei's inquiry: "Please let me go with you." ”
Wei said with a smile: "If you are in the capital at this time, it is indeed time to meet and go out." You've been staying at home with me for a while, and you haven't gone out much, so now that you've received the post, let's go out for a walk. ”
He Linwan closed the post and handed it to Chunxiao, and smiled: "Okay, then let's go." ”
Wei felt that He Linwan's smile was a little strange, and before she could take a closer look, He Linwan had already gotten up: "Mother, then I'll go back to the room first, it's time for your lunch break." ”
After He Linwan left, Wei asked Mama Li: "Do you think that when you mention Miss Chen, Ah Wan is a little wrong?" I have to say that every mother is sensitive when facing her child, even if the child will cover it up.
Mama Li thought about it for a moment and shook her head: "The slave didn't see anything wrong with the girl, but it must be a young lady of about the same age from the capital, or I knew her before, and the girl is also happy, right?"
Wei couldn't think of a reason, so he didn't say anything more.
When it came to Chen Yihan's invitation to go out, He Linwan went out as promised.
It has been a long time since the Shangsi Festival, the weather in the east has already warmed up, and there are not many people who come out to go out, He Linwan came to the river on the outskirts of the city in a carriage.
This river is called Baishui, it goes around Penglai City, the water flow is gentle, the place along the coast is not very deep, because there are few houses and farmhouses nearby, the water flow is relatively clear, it is a good place for people in Penglai City to go on an outing on weekdays.
When He Lin arrived late, Chen Yihan had already come first, and when she got out of the car, she saw that a table had been set up in an open space by the river, and several maids were placing wine and fresh fruits on the case, and Chen Yihan was sitting with a few girls who arrived first on a table by the river, chatting and laughing, which looked very lively.
Chen Yihan raised his eyes and saw He Linwan stunned, as if he didn't recognize it.
The last time He Linwan and Chen Yihan met was more than four years ago, and after a few years of not seeing Chen Yihan, he was still that amiable and delicate face, but He Linwan had been reborn.
Today's He Linwan wore a light apricot pigmented jacket, with a light purple floral skirt on the lower body, a light and feminine posture, a pretty and unparalleled face, and a leisurely and calm temperament, Chen Yihan, who had been carefully dressed up, was compared to the dust in an instant.
