Chapter 215: For the sake of the marriage

Listening to Songmo's words, Grandma Li smiled and said, "That's why I came to you." I can give you a sum www.biquge.info of money to help you redeem yourself, and you can pay me back later. Then I can also help you propose to the Lilac family, so that your chances of success can be better, after all, I am still the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Earl's Court, I believe they can give me a little face. If I hadn't told you this, I would have revealed the news that Lilac likes you, and you would have gone over to propose marriage yourself, and I wouldn't have to come to you. ”

The reason why Grandma Li made such a proposal was to hold Songmo hostage because of this, so that she could keep getting money, or through him constantly making demands on Hibiscus to find her trouble, otherwise why would she bother to do so.

Songmo listened to her words, but he didn't believe that she had such good intentions, so he thought about it for a while, and said, "I asked you to borrow money, do you want a high profit?"

When the time comes, the kind he can't afford to pay back in his life?

You must know that if the eldest lady asks for a thousand taels of redemption fees for herself, it is not a small amount, although her family has to do her best to make so much money, but the whole family's hard work is given to the eldest lady like that, it is not cost-effective, after all, once you leave the house, there is no money, even if you have a free body, what is the use, and then you don't want to sell yourself to others to make money?

He won't even use his family's money to redeem himself, and he won't borrow loan sharks to redeem himself, so that not only will he empty the family's money to pay off his debts, but he will also have to use his whole life to repay it, which will be even less cost-effective, so at this time, Songmo listened to Grandma Li's words, and was not happy at all, but asked like this.

If you don't want to lend him money, then he can still consider it, if Grandma Li really asks him for money, then thank you for it.

Grandma Li heard his worries, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "How come, if that's the case, you can go to a loan shark to borrow, why bother to borrow from me, although it is impossible to lend you for nothing, but it will only charge you a little bit of interest - as long as you are willing to agree, in the future, the money you get from Princess Linjiang through cloves, you can share half of it, and you will have the right to use it as money, how about it?"

Listening to Grandma Li's words, Songmo couldn't help but suddenly realize, and secretly said that there would be no good thing in this world that would fall from the sky, so he was waiting here.

But if this thing is really done, it is okay to give half to Grandma Li, anyway, the money obtained for nothing, it will be divided, anyway, when it is used up, it will be used up again, and then find Princess Linjiang, that woman can spend a thousand taels of cloves to redeem herself, obviously not a person who picks the door, and it should not be too difficult to ask for money in the future.

So Songmo agreed at the moment and said, "Okay, then there will be Grandma Lao to help." ”

Grandma Li saw that he agreed, so she immediately took two pieces of paper and said: "There is no basis for what you say, but the words are proof, don't be careful, I'm just afraid that you will redeem yourself and marry Lilac, and you won't need me, so throw me aside, then I will work in vain." ”

Since Songmo is a scholar, he is naturally literate, and when he took a look, he saw that one was an IOU for borrowing money, and the other was a guarantee stating that he would divide half of her things, and the former did not write about the profits; although the latter had no legal effect, this kind of thing that was signed by his handprint was sent out, and he calculated that the matter of Princess Linjiang through Lilac would be exposed, so for him, it was equivalent to binding.

There is nothing wrong with signing and pressing the handprint on the first piece of paper, Songmo quickly signed and pressed the handprint, but on the second piece of paper, Songmo hesitated, once this kind of thing falls into the hands of Grandma Li, he will be controlled by others.

Grandma Li also saw his hesitation, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you worried about? Unless you don't talk about credit, I will make it public, as long as you are willing to talk about credit, why should I make it public, once it is made public, we will completely tear our faces, then I won't get any money, and second, if I make it public, it will also damage my reputation, right?"

Songmo thought about it for a while, so he happily pressed his handprint.

Then Grandma Li took out five hundred taels of silver and handed it to him, saying, "I will intercede with my wife and ask her to only accept fifty times your redemption money, so you only need to borrow five hundred taels from me." ”

She did have 1,000 taels of silver in her hand, which was still the bride money given to her by the Li family at the beginning, but she naturally wouldn't take out all the money, after all, she always had to keep some money for her side, so she only borrowed 500 taels.

Songmo said secretly, no wonder the previous IOU only owed five hundred taels, he thought that Grandma Li felt that his family took five hundred taels, so he only planned to borrow five hundred taels, it turned out that he was going to help himself intercede, let him save five hundred taels, that dare to be good.

At that moment, Songmo smiled and said, "Then thank you grandma." ”

When he said this word of thanks, he was quite sincere, but after he said it, he wanted to smoke himself, thinking about whether he was stupid, if it weren't for this woman in the middle of the ghost, although the redemption silver collected by Mrs. Li in the past is rising, but except for particularly annoying people, such as cloves, etc., there is no confiscation of dozens of times the redemption money, since this slut plucked, Mrs. only received such an expensive redemption money, so he didn't have to spend a thousand taels, or even five hundred taels, now listening to her intercede for herself, it can be reduced to five hundred taels, and she is still happy, is her brain wateredThis is really being sold, and the people are still helping to make money.

Grandma Li naturally didn't know that Song Mo was annoyed by her behavior of thanking her just now, so she only said: "In the future, we will be people on the same boat, so we don't need to be so polite." ”

After that, Grandma Li helped Songmo intercede with Mrs. Li and redeemed herself, and sure enough, it was five hundred taels and it was done.

In fact, even if it doesn't cost fifty times, no matter how little Mrs. Li is willing, the reason is very simple, since she raised the redemption money, no one is willing to redeem herself, there used to be a few times when there was still a little redemption silver income, but now there is no silver or two, Mrs. Li is in a hurry, and she is still thinking about whether to temporarily reduce the price for the sake of the house's expenses, and now I see that Grandma Li helped her negotiate the redemption of Songmo. Grandma Li knew that Mrs. Li was anxious about having no source of income recently, so in order to invite credit, she told Mrs. Li that she was agitating a three-inch incorruptible tongue and saying that she moved Songmo to spend money to redeem herself, and this move was obviously praised by Mrs. Li who was in need of money - people were willing to pay five hundred taels for redemption, which was a lot of money for the Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion, which had become more and more downcast, so how could Mrs. Li be unwilling, for fear that she would raise the price again, and the other party would not be willing to redeem herself, so she immediately returned the deed of sale to the other party, for fear that the other party would regret it.

After Songmo, who had recovered his free body, retired from his relatives, Grandma Li went to Lilac's house.

Since the redemption of the Li Mansion, the Lilac family has not left the capital and gone to the suburbs of Beijing to buy a cheap house to live, but still rents in the capital, mainly because Lilac's parents feel that there are many opportunities in the capital, and secondly, the hibiscus is also in the capital, they are going to the suburbs of Beijing, and it is inconvenient to contact the hibiscus, so they rent in the capital.

Their family is currently opening a small restaurant, after all, Lilac's mother used to be the steward of the kitchen of the Earl of Zhongyong's mansion, and it is still very easy to open a small restaurant, with hibiscus as a backer, but they are not afraid of someone finding fault, so the income is acceptable, and they are already planning to make more money, so they will buy a smaller yard, and no longer buy fields for the time being.

Regarding the arrival of Grandma Li, Lilac's family was also very curious in disgust.

Needless to say, disgust, when I thought that Grandma Li had tortured Lilac like that at that time, how could Lilac's parents have a good face for her? In the past, because they wanted to see her face to live, they couldn't do anything to her, but now that their family has left the house and has hibiscus as a backer, they are not afraid of Grandma Li at all, so naturally they will not give her a good face.

As for curiosity, it's normal, thinking about her, a noble grandmother, what are you doing in their small restaurant?

At that moment, Lilac's mother said coldly: "The noble man stepped on the ground, do you have any advice?"

Grandma Li saw that she wanted to keep holding on to the slut Lilac, who must be tortured to death, because she was forcibly interfered with by the hibiscus and taken away, and now her face was ruddy and tasteful, and her mood suddenly became gloomy, and her disgust for the hibiscus deepened.

But now, in order to find hibiscus trouble, she has to smile at this annoying slut, which makes Grandma Li feel a stomachache, but when she thinks of Hibiscus's unlucky appearance, Grandma Li's mood is better.

At that moment, Grandma Li cleaned up her mood, and said to Lilac's mother with a smile: "I came here today for two things, one is to apologize to Lilac." I know that I used to treat Lilac like that, and your family must have hated me to death, but at that time Lilac was a concubine, and I was the lady of the main house, because I might not be virtuous enough and jealous, so I didn't like the concubine, so I did that kind of thing, and now I think about it, I'm really ashamed, so please forgive me for what I did when my brain was dizzy. ”

Grandma Li had harmed Lilac like that before, and Lilac's parents naturally didn't want to see her, but at this time, Grandma Li apologized to her family for hurting Lilac at the beginning, and made sense that at that time, as a lady in the main room, she naturally hated concubines and the like to defend herself, Lilac's mother thought about it, after all, who likes her husband to have other women? If Lilac's father had a woman, she wouldn't like it, so her hatred for Grandma Li dissipated a little, thinking that she would blame and blame Mrs. Li, if it weren't for Mrs. Li forcing her daughter to marry Master Li, her daughter would not become a concubine, but would not become a concubine, so naturally she would not be jealous of Grandma Li.

After Grandma Li saw herself apologize in a low voice, Lilac's parents' expressions softened, knowing that their words had worked, and after Lilac's parents no longer resisted as before, Grandma Li told Lilac's parents that Songmo wanted to marry Lilac, and said, "What about the second thing, is the Songmo in our house, you know?"

Lilac's mother nodded and said, "You know, what's wrong?"

If I asked like this, Lilac's mother didn't answer her words, then today's matter would be more difficult, and now Grandma Li saw that Lilac's mother was willing to answer her words, and she knew that her apology had worked, Lilac's mother's attitude was relaxed, and it seemed that there was hope for this matter, so she was in good spirits and said: "It's that he wants to marry Lilac, so he asked me to be a matchmaker, I know you don't like me, I didn't want to come, but I thought about it, to promote this family business, just when I compensated Lilac for the day's events, so I still came." Oh yes, Songmo has also redeemed himself, and now he is also free, and their family conditions are not bad, you also know this, if Lilac marries, she will definitely not suffer. ”

Listening to Grandma Li's words, and then the scene that Lilac and Hibiscus said before, Lilac and Lilac's parents, because they were out of the house, didn't know Songmo's situation, and didn't know Grandma Li's calculations, they were very satisfied with Songmo, and they really had the intention of marrying Lilac, but fortunately they didn't agree at that time, so they only said: "That...... Shall we consider considering?"

Grandma Li saw that Lilac heard that Songmo was proposing, her face was happy, and she secretly said that this woman really likes Songmo, so she felt that most of this thing could be done, since most of it could be done, she didn't have to be in a hurry, she had to agree to their request now, force it too tightly, don't make people suspicious, it will not be good at that time, so Grandma Li smiled at the moment: "Yes, then I will wait for your news." ”

This is how Songmo proposed to Lilac before.

And the people sent out by Hibiscus to investigate found out about the situation in a few days, so on this day, Hibiscus called Lilac and told Lilac about the news she inquired about, and then said: "This Songmo, the character is really problematic, not to mention having an affair with countless maidservants, after Grandma Li found him and said that before he moved him to ask you for the benefit of his marriage, he also retired the previous relatives, such a person, do you plan to want it?" If you are really married, then you will not get any good things from me according to his orders, but I am afraid that he will treat you as he did to his previous relatives. ”

It's so easy to ask what Grandma Li said to Songmo, because there are few people in Earl Zhongyong's mansion who like Grandma Li, and under the money offensive, they will naturally say whatever they want, and pour out everything that Grandma Li said to Songmo- There is no way, Grandma Li is a young woman, and Songmo is a young man, the two naturally can't discuss things alone, so they are followed by Grandma Li's confidant, but what she didn't expect was that it was her henchman, and because she couldn't get any oil and water with her, she complained a lot, betrayed her for a few money, and poured out all the things she told Songmo, which is why Hibiscus easily found out the truth that Songmo wanted to marry Lilac.

But Mu Hibiscus also didn't understand, she had never had any dealings with that cousin, Grandma Li, why did she hate herself so much, and she tried her best to find a way out and find trouble for herself - how did she know that some people just couldn't see the good of others, and when they saw that others were doing well, they wanted to stumble.
