Chapter 102: Greed

He Shi carried a heavy bag of silver, and smiled with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The magpie stood aside and said with surprise and joy: "One thousand three hundred taels of silver, two months of hard work, and five hundred taels of silver interest! ”

He put down his things and laughed at her: "It's rare and weird, there are too many profitable deals in this world, what are we." ”

The magpie smiled and said: "The slave maid has no knowledge, I heard that some businessmen are rich and rival the country, I still don't believe it, but today I see it, I can be regarded as believing it." ”

He Shi was amused by her: "Silly girl, I look at you on weekdays, but you are so stupid." ”

After laughing, he said: "Look at that Fang family, an aunt, why does everyone in the house respect her? It's not that her mother's family is the richest man in Jiangnan, and she can't count the amount of silver." The silver in her hands is usually sprinkled out like running water, and the clothes she wears are a hundred times stronger than the ladies and ladies of the princess's family. ”

He sighed enviously: "The eldest lord likes elegance, he is a sunny and snowy character, but he is not good at management, once the old lady and the Shen family leave, the foundation of our Qin Mansion is not as good as before." The Fang family didn't know how much the big house had pasted in private, so that the eldest master could live so nourishing and chic. It's true that the Fang family is beautiful, but it's not that there are girls who are younger and more beautiful than her, why does the eldest lord spoil her alone? It's not that she has money in her hands. Beautiful girls are easy to find, beautiful and rich, and willing to spend on him, but there are not many, the eldest man knows it in his heart!"

The magpie smiled: "She is an aunt, and she depends on these to make a living." ”

When he said this, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker.

She pushed the silver to the magpie: "You lock these in the cabinet by my bed, so that no one can see them." He also took ten taels of silver and gave it to her: "You have been running around for a long time these days, and you will be rewarded for these." ”

The magpie didn't dare to answer: "It's all the duty of the slave and the maid, and the lady has tormented the slave and the maid like this." ”

He was happy in his heart, and it was rare to be generous.

"If you want to take it, you can take it, what are so many words. ”

The magpie happily accepted the money and said, "Madame's capital has been returned, and I will go to settle the account in a while." ”

He pinched the grape's hand.

"Let's leave it for two days. ”

The magpie was a little surprised, but still nodded, and without saying anything, carefully put the money into the cupboard, and handed the key back to He.

After seven or eight days, Chen Yongcai brought the news: "There is a tea merchant surnamed Li who came to Beijing to sell goods, because a sum of money was pressed on the goods and could not be withdrawn, and the purchase money was short of 50,000 taels, so he was raising money everywhere. Make an appointment with three cents, half a month to repay, if Mrs. is at ease, we can also participate. ”

As soon as He thought that he would be able to get three points in half a month, his heart could not be quiet for a moment.

But she didn't dare to jump into it.

Chen Yongcai said: "This person is a relative of Mrs. Ning Yuanhou, and in order to compete with others, he did not hesitate to promise heavy profits to raise money to grab goods, and the funds could be in place in half a month." I learned about this from one of my fellow villagers, who was the bookkeeper of this tea merchant surnamed Li, and I was from my own family, and I was a very reliable person. ”

"In fact, there are many people who borrow money, and Ning Yuanhou borrowed 10,000 taels from him. It's just that you know me well, and promise me that if you are willing to make a fortune, you will cheapen me first. Madame, don't miss the opportunity, you can think about it. ”

When He heard this, his heart was like grass, he couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep well, and he couldn't find someone to discuss.

Chen Yongcai was in a hurry.

"People are in a hurry, if we delay any longer, we won't have a chance. ”

He thought about it all night, but he was really reluctant to pay the generous interest, so he gritted his teeth and took out all his belongings, and scraped together enough two thousand two hundred taels to send it over.

Chen Yongcai is too little: "If you get together, you can't be too little." ”

He said: "I can't make up any more money." ”

Chen Yongcai said: "I will borrow your light and invest 500 taels in the pension capital, and you can think of a way to do the rest." ”

He Shi did not doubt him, called the magpie and asked: "You see where there is still money left, about half a month, you can turn around when you get the money back." ”

The magpie thought for a long time, and then hesitated: "The people in the house make winter clothes, and they will be delivered in ten days, and there are exactly three hundred taels of silver." ”

Ho asked her to bring the money.

The magpie worried: "Madam, this money is no better than anything else, if it is, if there is a bad pool, it can't be hidden." ”

He also hesitated.

She understands the magpie's concern, if she can't get the money back, this hole can't be filled, and it will be discovered immediately.

But letting her let go of the hundreds of taels of income is really more uncomfortable than ripping out her heart.

"Take, nothing will happen. After a pause, he said, "Didn't you make money a few times before? ”

The magpie was not sure, but she was a maid, and whatever the master said, she obediently took the money and handed it to Chen Yongcai.

Chen Yongcai took back the IOU the next day and said, "Fortunately, Mrs. made a quick decision, and if she was one step late, this good thing would fall on someone else's head." Marquis Ning Yuan sent someone to send another 10,000 taels!"

When He got the IOU and heard this, his heart fell for the most part, and he waited for the money to be collected in the future.

He Huiniang followed her mother to Qin Mansion as a guest.

He is working with the second lady Qi, waiting for the old lady to try on new clothes.

The old lady was very happy to see Mrs. He's mother and daughter: "I haven't come for a day, are you okay at home?"

Mrs. He's face froze, and she smiled again: "It's okay." ”

The smile was reluctant, and several people in the room could see it.

Seeing this, the second lady hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and instruct me to add a few dishes at noon." ”

Mrs. He pushed Hui Niang and said to the second lady: "I am teaching her to be a housekeeper these days, let her learn from you and grow some skills." ”

The second lady smiled: "Has Hui Niang started to learn housekeeping? Mrs. He is so blessed to have such a caring daughter. ”

Mrs. He hurriedly said: "You are blessed, Brother Xiao is a great talent!"

The second lady likes to hear people praise her son the most, and when she heard this, she immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Hui Niang hesitated and glanced at her mother, and Mrs. He gently pushed her: "Don't go yet." ”

Huiniang knew her mother's thoughts, she was bitter and ashamed, she bit her lip, and after all, she didn't brush Mrs. He's intentions, and buried herself in following the second lady out.

As soon as the two of them left, the old lady lowered her face and asked, "What's going on at home again?"

The smile on Mrs. He's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a pool of crystal tears.

"Auntie, you have to make the decision for Hui Niang!"

The third lady held her and said anxiously, "What's wrong with Huiniang?"

Mrs. He leaned on the chair, covered her face and cried and said, "The master came back yesterday and suddenly said that he would take care of a family affair for Hui Niang. ”

The third lady was puzzled: "It's a good thing to say kiss, why are you crying?"

The old lady asked in a deep voice, "Whose kid are you talking about?"

A trace of resentment burst out of Mrs. He's eyes: "It's the Marquis of Ningyuan, Zhu Ziran!" (To be continued.) )
