Xiao Lingzi is really good at talking.

Gu Zizhong allowed himself to say Brother Zishan, but he didn't allow others to talk about him.

Of course, it's okay to praise him.

Xiao Lingzi catered to the two of them very sensibly.

The three of them chatted for a long time, as if they were two women on the side of the street.

Plus an idle farmer.

Such people will only say these common things when they get together.

So how do the three people say how do they feel awkward.

I just didn't say anything.

All three were silent for a moment.

Xiao Lingzi took the initiative to speak: "Sister Zizhong, did you two come over today and have you eaten?" I told my father to prepare a table today. ”

Gu Zi nodded, very refreshing.

What if you don't stay yet?

Besides, the two of them had been running around on the road all day, and they were tired and hungry, so they really needed to find a place to rest and rest.

Xiao Lingzi was also refreshed and asked the servant to go and talk to her father.

She got up and handed the plate to the two of them.

Just now, the two of them were just chatting, and they didn't drink tea or eat snacks.

Now the two of them can't accept it.

One person took a small piece of pastry.

Zhu Changxi had a big mouth and finished eating it in one bite.

Gu Zizhong took a small bite, tasted it slowly, and kept praising the good taste.

Xiao Lingzi stared at Zhu Shizi, and the more she looked, the more happy she became.

This man is not as serious and rigid as outsiders say.

On the contrary, he's a bit of a goofy.

It's just that Xiao Lingzi doesn't know what these two people want to do when they suddenly come to the door.

So she also has her own plans, and she really wants to reconnect with Zi.

The second is to test them in the course of the conversation.

The three of them chatted, and Xiao Lingzi found that these two people had no malicious intent, so she asked people to inform her father.

Gu Zizhong couldn't wipe his face, and it was not easy to say what he meant.

Zhu Changxi regarded himself as a bystander.

So the three of them chatted for a long time.

Putting the plate between the two of them, Xiao Lingzi slowly sat back and said with a smile: "Sister Zizhong, what are you polite to come to my house." The tea on the table didn't move. ”

Gu Zi hurriedly took another sip.

Zhu Changxi also took a big sip.

Xiao Lingzi said: "Hmm...... Sister Zizhong, you usually have a lot of things to do, and when you are busy, remember to come and see me. Xiao Lingzi remembered it in her heart. ”

Gu Zizhong said "um" twice and said, "Yes." ”

The smile on Xiao Lingzi's face froze, and then she said, "That, Sister Zizhong, if there is anything you need my family to help with, you must say it." ”

That's what everyone is talking about.

Gu Zi hurriedly turned around and slapped Zhu Changxi's leg.

Zhu Changxi seemed to have returned from a fugue, and said, "Ah, that, the two of us have been running around for a day. ”

Xiao Lingzi shrunk her neck and smiled: "I also know that the two of you are hard. That's why I said, 'If you have any business?' ”

Zhu Changxi coughed, this is a serious matter that he needs to say, and he can't always let his wife stand in front.

He blushed and took the initiative to borrow money from others, which was the first time he had done it.

The last time I went to Hangzhou to get silver, his family also relied on the silver ticket to exchange it at the same price.

Now it's different, he's borrowing people's money.

So he was a little empty in his heart: "I want to borrow ...... Twenty thousand taels of silver......"

Xiao Lingzi suddenly froze.

Gu Zizhong also felt that it was too abrupt.

This kind of thing comes little by little, otherwise who can accept it?

Xiao Lingzi also smiled bitterly twice: "The prince is joking with me, right?"

Now that the words have been spoken, I can't regret it.

Gu Zizhong said bluntly: "No need to do so much, how much silver does the Lin family have, can you lend it to me Gu Jiaxing first?" ”

"This ......" The smile on Reiko's face changed, and she was a little reluctant.

It's too big a thing after all.

Xiao Lingzi thought for a while and said, "I'm naturally willing to help, but my father is in charge of the family's money, and I can't interfere." Well, at the dinner table, I will talk to my father and let him have an idea. ”

However, how can you suddenly ask for so much money?

Xiao Lingzi couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to think about it.

Gu Zizhong and Zhu Changxi had no choice but to agree.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Da showed up.

At the dinner table, Gu Zizhong and Zhu Changxi met Master Lin.

Lord Lin looked a little haggard.

Xiao Lingzi took the initiative to entertain them and let them sit down.

Mother Lin returned to her hometown and was not at home. The eldest son and second son of the Lin family are also running errands outside.

So there were only four of them at the table.

Lord Lin looked at Zizhong, said "Yo", and said, "Lord Gu is a rare guest, sit down." ”

Gu Zizhongdi and Zhu Changxi thanked each other and sat down.

The four of them were eating, and naturally they chatted.

Lord Lin greeted Gu Wang Ye and asked Gu Zizhong to take it to him.

Gu Zi thanked him again.

But if you say politely, you have to get down to business.

Although Zhu Changxi was reluctant, he still took the initiative to open this mouth.

Lord Lin was very embarrassed, smiled bitterly, and said, "This, Zhu Shizi, you also know that our relationship is very close, so it goes without saying." If it weren't for the Jinling Zhu family and the Gu family covering me, I wouldn't be where I am today. But what about this...... If I want to help, I have to be strong. ”

After pondering for a moment, Lord Lin continued: "It's just, Lord Shizi, County Lord, don't blame me for talking too much. Why do you suddenly want so much money?"

Zhu Changxi didn't know what to say.

It's a shame to say this kind of thing.

said that my father let Zhu Liuhong's kid be deceived?

After thinking about it, Zhu Changxi didn't know how to speak.

In the end, he said: "Uncle, don't ask, this is our family matter, it's not good to talk about it." ”

"Oh. Lord Lin also felt that he was too talkative, "Then I won't ask." However, we really can't take out the 20,000 taels of silver that the two of you said. I want a silver ticket, my family has it, but it is ready-made silver, and I don't have it. Don't say it's 20,000 taels, even 5,000 taels, and I can't take it out. ”

How so?

The Lin family is so rich and has a big business, will they be short of silver?

Zhu Changxi said: "No, right? A few days ago, my father-in-law helped my uncle go to the capital to give gifts. Didn't you give away all the 100,000 taels of silver?"

Lord Lin was afraid to mention this, after all, the Gu family had helped him a lot in this, so he smiled bitterly: "Yes, we all think of your good." But as you know, there has been a recent war against the Japanese along the coast, and all the money has been used for military salaries. We are very short of silver here, and besides, most of the silver saved by my family is used for gifts. Now that I have a silver ticket at home, where is the silver?"

What people say is also true.

But......

Gu Zi thought about it again and asked, "How much can that uncle come up with?"

Lord Lin stretched out his hand: "Five hundred taels, the most." My family is also having a hard time right now. ”
