Chapter 926: Ransom
Let Yang Xianmao and them into the house, after Yang Xianmao entered the house, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, this house is so messy that there is no place to stay. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly cleaned up the mess on the ground and threw things on the ground, and then finally found two chairs, some of which were worn, sat on them, creaked, beckoned Yang Xianmao and Caifeng to sit down, and then pulled Zhang Tiezui into the house, and asked anxiously in a low voice: "Is he really rich?"
Zhang Tiezui snorted and said, "Lao Tzu's eyes will still be wrong?" Let me tell you, the package on his back is full of gold and silver treasures, and it is no problem to buy the whole of Suizhou, do you think he has any money?"
Mrs. Zhang gasped even more, and the expression on her face was even more strange, which made Zhang Tiezui a little suspicious, and said, "What's wrong? You have a weird expression, what's the matter? Where did the osmanthus go?"
Mrs. Zhang was very embarrassed and said: "You don't go home all the year round, and you don't have any money to bring back, I can't live this day, so I sold her to Master Qian's house as a maid." ”
"What?"
Zhang Tiezui was as if he had been hit on the head, exclaimed, and then quickly lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Which old man Qian?"
"It's Qian Feihu Qian from Dongcheng, the layman of Qingcheng. ”
"What? It's his house, it's over. ”
This Qian Feihu is a big family in Suizhou, he likes to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he has been learning art since he was taught art under the Qingcheng faction, but his martial arts are not proficient. The so-called poor literature and rich martial arts, the family has money, so he became the personal disciple of the head of the Qingcheng faction, and after returning from school, he opened a martial arts hall in Suizhou, and there are hundreds of disciples. Because Xishu is located in a remote area, and now the Jin State is invading, the people in the court are panicking. No one cares about this, so this Qian Feihu seems to have become a local tyrant, and even the yamen dare not provoke it. Sometimes there are things that can't be done, and they have to help them solve them.
Zhang Tiezui heard that his daughter was sold to their house as a maid, and he complained at the moment, because this sold herself to be a girl, once she signed the deed of sale, she was someone else's person. There is no way to come back, unless the master's family is willing, otherwise, even if you have money, the master's family will not let it go, it will be in vain, because you have already sold yourself to become someone else's maid.
Mrs. Zhang also knew that she was in big trouble now, so she anxiously asked her husband, "Daddy, what should I do now?"
Zhang Tiezui raised his hand and slapped her and said, "You did a good job on a dog day, and you came to ask me." ”
This lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after receiving this slap, she immediately scratched and scratched like crazy, like a lioness, crying and shouting: "You blame me, the old lady still blames you, you have been gone for three years and five years, you are free outside, and you leave your home and this damn daughter to me to raise alone." Where am I going to get money? If I don't sell her, let alone her, my mother will be starved to death, but now you blame me, and dare to beat me, my mother will fight with you. ”
Mrs. Zhang said, pounced on it and scratched and scratched. In an instant, a few bloody paw prints were left on Zhang Tiezui's face.
Zhang Tiezui, I couldn't have imagined that my wife, who used to be obedient, would become so spicy in a few years. He didn't know that the environment would change people, he was not at home in the past few years, everything was supported by his wife alone, she had no way not to be domineering, otherwise both mother and daughter would be bullied. Zhang Tiezui could only hide back, and asked his wife not to make trouble, so as not to disturb Yang Xianmao.
But it was already late, Yang Xianmao appeared at the door, looked at them, and said urgently: "Is my lady sold to someone else to be a maid?"
If you are a maid in a big family, I am afraid it will be troublesome. If it is not under his control, how can he save her life and death, Yang Xianmao is of course anxious.
Zhang Tiezui was originally most worried about this, for fear that this uncle would slap his ass and leave when he heard this. What kind of woman can't find such a rich son, why bother looking for you a stinky girl. Unexpectedly, Yang Xianmao came in, not only was she very concerned, but also asked if she could redeem her daughter, she couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and said: "Don't worry, we will find a way to redeem our daughter." ”
Mrs. Zhang scratched a few blood marks on her man's face, cried and made trouble, and then she was a little relieved. Now that I saw Yang Xianmao come in and heard his words, I couldn't help but be worried. If this is really a golden beetle son-in-law, then he must not let go. But her daughter has been sold to others as a maid again, and she began to regret her original decision, but now there is no regret medicine, and she doesn't know what to do for a while.
Mrs. Zhang stomped her feet and said: "It's all my fault, I was confused for a while, and my life was difficult, and I really couldn't get by, so I made this decision." Uncle, what do you think we should do? Why don't we pay double the money and redeem our daughter? ”
Yang Xianmao nodded, took the package, took out an ingot of gold from it and put it on the table, and said, "You take this ingot of gold and go and redeem your daughter." ”
As soon as she saw this yellow, orange and orange gold, Mrs. Zhang's eyes straightened. She has seen silver since she was a child, but she has never really seen Huang Cancan's gold, which is much more valuable than silver. And with such a big ingot, this deposit alone is enough to buy a hundred maids. Hurriedly snatched it over happily and said, "Okay, I, I'll go and redeem it." ”
Yang Xianmao shook his head, pointed to Zhang Tiezui and said, "You two go together, you must not be deducted, all used to redeem osmanthus flowers." - Don't worry, as long as you redeem your daughter and marry me, the bride price I will give you is enough for you to spend for several lifetimes, don't be stingy with this money, otherwise your daughter will not be redeemed, and you will have nothing. ”
When the two of them heard this, they both nodded as if they were pecking rice, and Mrs. Zhang originally wanted to exchange the gold for silver, and then deduct half of it. The rest is far more than the money that my daughter sold back then, and she should be able to redeem her daughter. Unexpectedly, Yang Xianmao saw through her mind and warned her, and couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. is also said, reluctant to let the child catch the wolf. If you use your brains on this money, then I'm afraid that my daughter won't be able to redeem it, and what she will lose will be this golden beetle son-in-law. The two hurriedly took the ingot of gold and asked Yang Xianmao to sit down for a while, and they immediately went to redeem their daughter. Then he hurriedly went out and ran to Qian Feihu's house.
The two came to Qian Feihu's mansion, which is worthy of being the richest family in the entire Suizhou, and the two stone lions in front of the door alone are twice as big as other families, which is very powerful. People have passed underneath, and even its pedestal is not yet reachable, and you need to look up to see the huge stone lion.
Seeing this stone lion, Zhang Tiezui somehow felt a little nervous, and always felt that this time it was not so easy.
He went up to the door and knocked lightly twice, the door creaked open, and a crooked hat-wearing housekeeper came out, looked him up and down, and said, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Tiezui hurriedly smiled and said: "I am the father of osmanthus in your mansion, I came back from afar, only to know that my Hun family sold my daughter without my consent, and sold it to the house to be a maid, which is called osmanthus." I want to spend money to redeem her now, can I talk to the steward of the house, and ask him to see me, I am willing to use this ingot of gold to redeem the osmanthus back. ”
After that, he put the gold in the palm of his hand, but he didn't give it to the family, for fear that after the family took it, he would deny that he had given him gold, and he would die unjustly. The man looked at the gold in his palm in surprise, and then looked at the iron mouth in surprise, and then said, "You wait, I'll call the butler." ”
Zhang Tiezui agreed, and just wanted to step into the door, but the family Ding slammed the door shut, almost hitting his nose, fortunately retreated quickly, and hurriedly took two steps back, and said to his wife: "This family is really fierce." ”
Mrs. Zhang said: "Isn't that right? He even wants the government to give him three points, how can there be any reason not to be fierce?"
After a while, the housekeeper came, opened the door, brushed his beard, looked at the iron mouth, and said, "Are you going to redeem your osmanthus flowers?"
"Exactly, I bother you to tell the master's family that her mother sold her daughter to you without my permission before. Of course, we don't blame you for this, we can only blame ourselves, so we are willing to spend a gold ingot to redeem our daughter, which is a lot, and it is enough to buy a hundred girls like osmanthus, please raise your noble hand and return your daughter to me. ”
The steward looked at him with disdain and said, "What do you mean to give it back to you? Did we snatch your daughter?"
"No, no, it's wrong, please allow us to redeem our daughter, hehe. ”
"Hmph, I still have to really report this matter to our master, and see what the master says to you. ”
"Well, thank you big butler, you have worked hard. ”
Zhang Tiezui took out a bunch of money from his sleeve cage and handed it over: "This money is to honor the housekeeper, please go and have a cup of tea." ”
The housekeeper snorted at the hanging money and said, "What about you calling Huazi? Lao Tzu only uses such a small amount of money to drink tea? ”
With a bang, he closed the door again, and then slammed back the hand holding the money that had reached into the door, and as soon as the money came out of his hand, it fell to the ground with a bang, and the rope broke in an instant, and a hundred copper coins rolled all over the ground.
Zhang Tiezui and his wife hurriedly squatted down to pick up the money, and Mrs. Zhang whispered to her husband while picking it up: "This is a lot of money, he doesn't want it, how can it still be like this?"
Zhang Tiezui didn't say anything, he felt from this incident that this time the matter was only very tricky, it seems that this Qian family is indeed too rich, he doesn't care about himself at all, and he doesn't even look at a hanging of money. Whether this ingot of gold can redeem his daughter is really a little drumming in his heart.
The housekeeper of the Qian family closed the door and went straight to the front yard.
Qian Feihu is instructing a few beginner disciples to practice, his disciples are divided into two groups, one group is the outer disciples, these he will only occasionally give one or two, mainly by his own big disciples are responsible for teaching the teacher, and he himself mainly instructs a few inner disciples of the martial arts. At this time, he was sitting on a chair covered with white tiger skin, holding a fine white porcelain tea cup with gold rim in his hand, and slowly sipping tea.
Steward Qian nodded and stepped forward, and said respectfully: "Master, Osmanthus's father and mother are outside the door, and they took a piece of gold and said that they want to redeem their daughter, what do you think?"
Qian Feihu frowned, glanced at him and said, "Which osmanthus?"
"It's the lady's personal maid Zhang Guihua, the one who bought it for five taels of silver. ”
Qian Feihu sighed, took another sip of tea, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "You just said how much money they want to redeem?"
"A pengot of gold. ”
