Chapter 44: The Dismissal of Slaves
Zhao Yuxiang was sweating profusely, and he couldn't think of any words for a while.
"You don't want to?" The cold voice was like a sharp knife, bringing up a cold wind that was cold to the bone, Zhao Yuxiang only felt that a silky cold wind poured into his nasal cavity, wandering in the nasal cavity and mouth, his nose immediately itched, and he involuntarily sneezed more than twenty times in succession, almost squirting out his eyeballs.
He clutched his beating heart hard for fear that the next sneeze would knock his heart out of his chest.
The woman in Tsing Yi chuckled lightly and said, "Has the owner of Zhao Zhuang ever tried the taste of walking around the villa twice nakedly carrying a three-hundred-pound bucket in the cold weather of the cold winter of Sanjiu?
Zhao Yuxiang covered his nose and begged for mercy in a hoarse voice: "The fairy's men are merciful, the fairy's men are merciful!"
The woman in Tsing Yi snorted: "Then are you willing to dismiss these slaves?"
"The disciple is willing...... The disciple is absolutely willing, but the amount of severance expenses is huge, and it will take time to raise it, and I ask the fairy to give me some time, I don't know if it is possible?"
The woman in Tsing Yi sneered and said: "You have amassed more than 100 million yuan in the past 20 years, how can you find it rare to live with the wealthy and powerful Zhao Dazhuang with millions of taels of silver? If you are reluctant to give up the silver, then you have to give up your own life, what do you want?"
Zhao Yuxiang wiped away the snot dripping on his face, and said with a sad face: "Fairy Mingjian, there are still some disciples of this silver, but most of them are stored in the major silver shops in Zhongzhou, and the treasury in the villa only has about one million cash deposits, which is not enough to distribute, this ...... It will take some time to withdraw money, can the fairy give me a reasonable period of time for me to transfer the silver?"
"How many days?"
"Within seven days, the disciple will definitely finish this matter, fairy, please rest assured. ”
The woman in Tsing Yi smiled slightly: "In this case, I will give a few days to complete this matter, listen, all the slaves are dismissed, not a single one is left, and no more slaves are allowed to be bought in the future, you know?"
Zhao Yuxiang trembled and said, "Yes." ”
"In seven days, I will come again, and then I will tell you to do a second thing. ”
"Yes. ”
Zhao Yuxiang knelt on the ground, and didn't dare to say a word more than "yes".
For a long time, the woman in Tsing Yi didn't speak, Zhao Yuxiang secretly looked up, and found that the woman had long been gone, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body collapsed on the ground.
"Someone's coming, coming on!"
Zhao Yang and Yao Biying, who were guarding the door, pushed open the door and ran in to help Zhao Yuxiang up: "Master, can you see that fairy?"
Zhao Yuxiang's face was pale and panting, Nu Zui motioned for the two to help him out of the door, he looked at the dark courtyard, and was surprised to realize that the strange scene of the garden full of fire trees and silver flowers had disappeared: "Can you see that Tsing Yi... Fairy leaving?"
Yao Biying looked around, and said in a low voice: "Steward Zhao and I have been guarding the door, and we didn't see that Xiaolan fairy leave, as soon as we heard the old man's call, we rushed in, and we didn't notice the changes in the courtyard. ”
Zhao Yang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and since he stepped into the courtyard where the fifth lady lived, he was shocked by the flickering brilliance inside, and he had always been ignorant, until this moment he still felt dizzy, and when he saw the owner's eyes drifting towards him, he was stunned for a moment and said: "The old slave didn't see it clearly, the old slave only saw a floating light, and didn't see others." ”
Zhao Yuxiang looked at Yao Biying and said, "Fairy Xiaolan? That fairy in Tsing Yi is called Xiaolan? What the hell is going on, you can hear it." ”
Yao Biying lowered her head and said, "Yes, master, should we talk here or in another place?"
This courtyard was originally her residence, but now that this has happened, she is afraid and does not dare to stay a little longer.
Zhao Yuxiang closed the door with his backhand and said in a muffled voice: "You and Chen'er will move to the east wing room in the future, and don't come in this courtyard for the time being...... Let's go to the study first, Zhao Yang, you wake up Zhao Ming in the account room immediately, and tell him to take someone to the silver shop in the county seat, and bring all the silver back to the villa, go quickly. ”
Zhao Yang was ordered to retreat, Zhao Yuxiang often sighed, and said to Yao Biying: "Help me to the study." ”
Yao Biying helped Zhao Yuxiang out of the courtyard, took a lantern from the hand of the night watchman, and the husband and wife walked along the corridor through the two courtyards to the study.
Zhao Yuxiang sat down in front of the bookcase, and Yao Biying poured him a cup of cold tea: "In the middle of the night, there is no hot water, master, you drink cold water first to wake up." ”
Zhao Yuxiang was not picky, took the cup and drank it, he held the celadon cup in his hand and looked at the dancing candle flame, Yao Biying didn't dare to alarm the master, just stood behind him and waited for the question.
"Biying, tell me everything about this, woman...... How did it happen?"
