"Huh? You've come up with a solution, tell me, what good way do you have? Hearing that Tang said that he had thought of a way, Ye Houde immediately became interested, and he was still anxious about how to sell grain at a high price.

"Master, a few days ago, didn't the lord take the lead in donating 10,000 taels of silver, and then your lords, many merchants, wealthy and landlords donated money, and I heard that a lot of silver was raised. And the lord also said that the money was donated to buy food to help the refugees, so if the lord could use that money to buy the food brought by the eldest brother, then the matter could be solved satisfactorily. “

"You mean, with the money donated by everyone, you can buy the food that General Tang sent you at a high price?" Ye Houde asked word by word.

"Or the old man understands the meaning of the concubine, so he should do this, anyway, there is a shortage of food in the northwest, so it would be good to say that this silver was used to buy food a few days ago, so that the eldest brother will have money to return to others, and those refugees will also have food, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone." When Tang heard this, he thought that Ye Houde agreed with her words, and immediately said with a little pride.

"You really have a good calculation, Tang Shi, I respect your eldest brother, General Tang, who has been stationed at the border over the years, brave and good at fighting, and has a far-reaching reputation, so that the people of Chengqi can live and work in peace and contentment, and avoid the suffering of war, so I have never treated you slowly, but I didn't expect that you would actually calculate that donation today." Ye Houde laughed angrily.

"Master, no, the concubine has no way to think of that donation, please don't be angry." Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang immediately knelt on the ground, holding his leg and crying and begging.

Ye Houde got up angrily. He said angrily: "This business is inherently a loss and a profit, who in the world can do business without losing money, how can the people die for the sake of your own gains?" ”

"No, sir, that's not what the concubine meant." After Ye Houde got up, Tang didn't get up, but knelt and hugged his thighs and cried, "The concubine asked the eldest brother to find a way to transport food over, just to save people, how could she put people to death for money?" The old man wronged the concubine. ”

"Don't you know. Those donations are a piece of everyone's heart. You can buy three times as much food, but in order not to let your eldest brother lose money, but he can only buy one-third of the food, doesn't he want to kill the other two-thirds of the refugees? Where did I wronged you? ”

Ye Houde said and wanted to go out as soon as he shook his feet.

I thought I could hear something good from her mouth, but I didn't expect it to be this. If you can use that money. Where would he be so worried today that he had no direction? And how can I have time to come here?

Just count the money when you promise the second prince.

Although General Tang is not small, the Tang family is still his concubine, but it doesn't matter which one. It's not as big as the second prince, he doesn't even want to use that money for the second prince's affairs, where will it be used on his own people.

Where would the Tang family let him go, the hands holding his legs refused to let go at all: "Master, master, you can forgive the concubine, and ask the master to think of a way for the concubine, if it is a loss, not only will the eldest brother not be able to explain it, but the concubine will lose all his money, and even Yu'er's dowry will be gone." ”

"Didn't you prepare a dowry for Yu'er a long time ago? With those, it should be enough. Tang said more than once in front of him about his eldest daughter's dowry, so Ye Houde asked curiously.

"The master is right, the concubine did prepare a dowry for Yu'er early, but a few days ago, because of Yu'er's family affairs, the third lady took 100,000 taels of silver from the concubine, and also took a lot of things from Yu'er, and Yu'er's dowry is not much."

Tang Shi said and sobbed a few times before continuing: "It happened that the northwest was hit by a disaster, and the concubine thought that she could make money by buying and selling grain, so she took all the money in her hand to buy food, and blamed the concubine for being greedy, and wanted to make more money to prepare a rich dowry for Yu'er, so that she could marry into the Qi family in style, so she invested all the remaining dowry silver of Yu'er, if she lost money, where could Yu'er gain a foothold in the Qi family without a rich dowry." ”

For his eldest daughter, Ye Houde still loves him very much, but when he heard Tang talk about Ye Tianyu's dowry again, and he turned around to tell the third daughter, he was angry: "If you lose, you will lose, don't worry, it doesn't matter if the dowry is less, anyway, Yu'er just married to be a concubine." ”

"What did you say, sir? Why Yu'er just married as a concubine? Didn't the master agree to let Yu'er marry Young Master Qi as his wife? This Mrs. Qi also agreed, why did she change her hexagram now? When Tang Shi heard this, he immediately forgot to cry, and looked at Ye Houde in shock and asked.

Although he was disappointed with the Tang family just now, when it came to the eldest daughter's family affairs, Ye Houde couldn't bear it, sighed and said: "This is the meaning of the old lady of the Qi family and the uncle of the Qi family, yesterday the second master of the Qi family visited me with the eldest young master of the Qi family and said this." ”

"Master, aren't you joking with the concubine, the eldest young master of the Qi family kept saying that he wanted to marry Yu'er as his wife, and the eldest lady of the Qi family also agreed to it personally, the eldest young master of Qi and Yu'er have exchanged tokens, how can you say that change will change, are you mistaken?" Tong said incredulously.

"Where can there be a mistake, yesterday the second master of the Qi family and the eldest young master of Qi also told me personally, and also brought a letter of apology from the old lady Qi, saying that the object of the two Qi and Ye families was the eldest son of the Qi family and the daughter of the Ye family, if Yu'er must marry in the past, you can go over as a concubine, you can take the time to talk to Yu'er about this matter." Ye Houde shook his head, sighed again, and helped Tang himself to the soft couch on the side.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" At this moment, the exclamations of the maids came from the courtyard.

Ye Houde and Tang Shi immediately went out when they heard the voice, but they saw several maids supporting Ye Tianyu, who had fainted and softened.

"What's going on? How could the eldest lady faint? Seeing this, Tang immediately stepped forward to hug his daughter and asked angrily.

"The slave maid doesn't know, the eldest lady heard that the master was coming, so she wanted to come over to say goodbye to the master, but the master and the second lady were in the room, and the eldest lady stood in front of the porch and waited, then ......, and then ......, and the eldest lady fainted." Several other maids who didn't support Ye Tianyu saw it, and immediately knelt down, and one of the maids said Ai Ai.

"Don't help the eldest lady into the house yet, go and ask the doctor to come over." Ye Houde knew the reason as soon as he heard it, and immediately commanded coldly. (To be continued.) )
