"So much?!" Zhou Hong didn't care about socializing with the fox friends and dogs behind him, so he sent a few people away with a few perfunctory words, and went to find his father and mother in a hurry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Yan and his wife were in a good mood, and they were walking in the courtyard and chatting after dinner. Zhou Hong strode over, called his father, and immediately said: "As soon as I came back, I heard that someone sent money to our family today, and said that it was a large sum of silver like 100,000 taels!" Is it true? ”

Zhou Yan glanced at his son angrily, "People said that they donated silver to repair the city gate, and it was not for our family." Besides, the money hasn't been delivered yet, so how happy are you? ”

"Huh?!" Zhou Hong's ecstatic mood was half cool, and he muttered: "This Miss Jiang family looks like a fairy, but it turns out to be a person with a bad brain. Running out of money? Donate to repair the city walls! The court doesn't care, what does she have to worry about a girl's family. Thinking of her father, Jiang Zongjin, most of his life was stupid and single-minded, he only talked about being loyal to the imperial court, but he was not given death by an edict from the palace——"

"Shut up!" Zhou Yan was honest and timid, his face changed at this time, and he looked left and right and reprimanded his son in a low voice: "It is the meaning of the palace to give you Uncle Jiang to death, and it is said that it cannot be mentioned." ”

"If you don't mention it, don't mention it, there are many people who know about this in Qingzhou." Zhou Hongwu muttered unconvinced, "As long as the Jiang family is not completely stupid, can they still speculate?" After being treated like this, and having to worry about repairing the city wall for the imperial court, the Jiang family was really strange, and they didn't know what their brains thought. ”

Zhou Yan snorted angrily, "I think his daughter seems to have guessed the truth, but like her father, she doesn't care about personal gains and losses." Something like yours with grass stuffed in your head is naturally unthinkable. ”

Zhou Hong pursed the corners of his lips disdainfully, "Jiang Zongjin has a high realm and good skills, but the result is not without a good end." You've taught me a lesson, you've been a prisoner for more than ten years, and—"

Mrs. Zhou pulled her son's sleeve and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! Look at your father and lose his temper again. ”

Zhou Hong looked up at his father's face with a blue face, and said with a smile: "Doesn't I care about my father." Rolling his eyes, "Father, is it too much for 100,000 taels to repair city defenses?" Even the imperial court has not given so much money in previous years! ”

Zhou Yan likes to discuss some business with his son, probably hoping to lead him to pay more attention to business, so his face became better, and he said: "In previous years, 100,000 taels was indeed a lot, but the city wall has been seriously damaged in recent years, and it takes some manpower and material resources to repair. Not to mention anything else, it would be very troublesome to repair the places where the north gate was sinking. ”

"The North City Gate looks pretty good, what does it matter if it's sunk a little? It's better not to fix it. Zhou Hong's eyes rolled, thinking about how to move some silver to use.

How could the old man not understand his thoughts, but Zhou Yan was really honest and had no bad intentions, and explained: "Outside the north city gate is the moat, and the city gate hole is sinking, that is a part of the underground is empty, if there is a war, the enemy digs a tunnel from the moat, and buries gunpowder in the empty land under the city gate, and the fortifications of the north city gate will be completely useless." Therefore, the North City Gate must not only be repaired, but also repaired. ”

Zhou Hong rolled his eyes, he didn't understand what his father said about the fortifications, he only understood one meaning, that is, don't expect the level to move some silver. He brushed the fancy clothes on his body and sighed: "I just heard that there is going to be a war in the north, we are far away in the south, do we need to be so nervous!" ”

Zhou Yan trembled his lips and moved angrily: "Saying that you are a straw bale and exalting you, we are far from the north and the war will not burn Qingzhou, isn't there such a large number of people in Qingfeng Village, who knows if Qingfeng Village will take advantage of this time to make trouble?" I don't prepare early, how can I sit back and relax. ”

The father and son couldn't talk about each other at all, and Zhou Yan threw his sleeves into the study angrily. Mrs. Zhou watched him walk away, then pulled her son and said, "You let me raise the silver for you, and it will be settled in two days, and I will sell the old house in the south of the city." ”

"The price has been negotiated, and I haven't told your father yet. If you hadn't been angry and owed a lot of debts to repay, why would I have sold the old house. Mrs. Zhou said with red circles in her eyes and a little sad.

Zhou Hong was not distressed, but his eyes lit up: "It's good to sell." How much did it sell? ”

"Six thousand taels." Old Madam Zhou said.

"Great, in the past, others only paid a maximum of three thousand taels, how can you sell half more silver at once!" Zhou Hong stepped forward and hugged his mother's shoulder, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Old Madam Zhou reluctantly tugged at the corners of her mouth, and guilt appeared on her face, "That house was bought by Miss Jiang." I didn't see that she was desperate to ask for money, and you were waiting for the money, so the lion opened her mouth, and I didn't think that she didn't bargain. For your sake, I'm not kind. ”

"Mother, don't blame yourself, you see that Miss Jiang donated 100,000 taels of silver as soon as she made a move, who would care about such a few thousand taels of silver!" Speaking of this, Zhou Hong's peach blossom eyes were full of peach blossoms, thinking of the woman Zhou Hong saw when he came home, he couldn't help but feel itchy, and he chirped, "Mother, you said that Miss Jiang is so beautiful and so rich in her hands, it would be nice if she could be my daughter-in-law!" ”

Old Madam Zhou was stunned, glanced at her son and thought about Jiang Li's appearance, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Your idea is broken as soon as possible, don't be a toad and want to eat swan meat!" What kind of people are we, you are this character, how can Miss Jiang take a fancy to you! ”

The mother has never belittled herself so much, and Zhou Hong can't help but feel a little dissatisfied: "Do you say that about your son's mother!" How did I become a toad? Why can't I be worthy of Miss Jiang? Her father and my father are not only colleagues but also friends, your son and I are not bad looking, I don't know how to attract more big girls and little daughters-in-law when I go out, why can't she fall in love with me? ”

Even though she couldn't answer the question of her son, Mrs. Zhou relied on her own eyesight to see people, and she was sure that Jiang Li would not be able to take a fancy to her son.

She then persuaded: "She is a girl whose family can go south and north to do business, and I believe that she has a high level of ability and vision." As a mother, I really think you are not a good match for her! ”

Zhou Hong pursed the corners of his mouth, "It's as if she's amazing!" No matter how capable she is, she has to believe in a sentence when she comes to me, the so-called strong dragon can't fight the head snake! You don't need to persuade me, your son and I have my own ideas! ”

Mrs. Zhou knew her son, and she felt bad when she heard him say such a thing, so she rarely hardened her tone: "In the past, you were just a woman who caused disasters to ordinary people, and I helped you cover it up for your mother." This is not something you can provoke, and if you do, your father will definitely pick your skin! ”

Seeing her son's unmoved expression, Mrs. Zhou added: "This matter is not negotiable, I will never help you anyway." With that, he threw off his sleeves and left.

Zhou Hong's peach blossom eyes glowed green, and his expression became gloomy. "If you don't help, you won't help, I'll figure it out myself!"
