Chapter 122: Stratagem (Asking for Subscription, Monthly Pass)
Li Minghe had a serious face and called out to his son Li An in a deep voice, but his son just ignored it.
After Li An and the father and daughter distanced themselves, Li Minghe reluctantly said to his daughter: "Why is this child so disobedient recently, in this situation, the family is busy, and I can't care about teaching him father." β
Li Ying said obediently: "He is still young, he doesn't understand his father's hard work, and he doesn't understand the mood of my family now having to stay away from my uncle's and grandfather's house." Father told him to think about it. Don't be angry, just go back and teach him well. β
Li Minghe responded to his daughter's words: "Yes, I'll teach him when I go back." β
Li Ying didn't say anything about this, she wanted her father to take care of her younger brother - always inside and outside, what is this like.
The father and daughter walked for a while, and Li Ying said again: "I saw that my father gave ten taels of silver to A-Yao, and she didn't refuse." Now that my family is in difficulty, how can A-Yao be so inconsiderate of my family. β
Li Minghe listened to his daughter's words, frowned irritably, and said, "Ah Yao, this child has become unknown to me now, I don't know what this child is thinking all day......
He complained to Li Jin, intentionally or unintentionally ignoring what he had done wrong.
Li Ying couldn't help but worry in the process and said: "There is a piece of jade in my family, and now that Ah Yao and her cousin have known about it, my daughter is worried that the two of them will spread the matter." β
Li Minghe is also worried about this. Therefore, the father and daughter inevitably discussed again. In the end, the only way they thought of it was to tell Li Yao and Han Jin not to say it. If there is jade in his family that is passed out, several families will inevitably look down on his family. After all, Mrs. Fu of her in-laws' family was seriously ill and borrowed money on the road first, but his family didn't think about borrowing the jade as money!
is so cold to his in-laws, outsiders will look at it if they have a heart, so it is really not easy for others to know about his family.
The day after Li Yao and his party returned, Mrs. Fu and her party arrived at the county seat. They were joined by the Fu family and their two younger sons.
Fu Ge is always from the Southland, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are still more in the Southland. Therefore, in the early days of the Fu family's big house from the south to the stone forest, except for spending money on official errands, they were not treated harshly on the road.
This is all because Fu Ge's old protΓ©gΓ©s secretly took care of him.
The sister of the partial branch of the Dagu clan married in the south, and her husband was only a hereditary thousand households in the guard, and the family was not rich, and the sister of the clan had to rely on the care of the Dagu clan at the beginning.
Now that the Da Gu family has been exiled, this sister remembered the care of the Da Gu family, so she took two hundred taels of silver tickets from home and gave them to the Da Gu family privately.
Two hundred taels is really a huge amount of money for ordinary people. But the money was given to the Da Gu family, but they were overstretched. When you are sick, you always have to spend money, not to mention that there are times when we can't afford to be sick in our time, and there are times when you need expensive medicine to hang yourself when you are sick in ancient times.
Da Gu's confinement went into exile before she came out, and her youngest son was not yet a full moon, and her second son was a sick man. For the sake of the three people's bodies, this money is really a drop in the bucket for this family.
A hundred-year-old ginseng plant costs a thousand taels of silver in this era. Not to mention, the price of Ganoderma lucidum, which is beneficial to the sick and weak body, and precious medicinal materials such as Cordyceps. So at that time, people were also afraid that there would be long-term sick patients in the family.
A long-term sick patient can bring down a well-off family. And the Fu family, the big house, the sick and weak bodies of these three people, unfortunately need to use good medicine. Especially the sick Fu Jingchen, that is, the second son of the Fu family's big house.
In this way, it can be seen that the two hundred taels are really not enough.
The Fu family's big house was in a hurry, and they stopped and walked, and later heard that something happened to some of the exiles assigned in Huaiqing County in July, so they didn't dare to delay on the road. Because counting the days, it was the day when the rest of the Fu family went to Huaiqing. They are always worried about their own people, so they are in a hurry, and they don't need to be urged by officials.
As a result, the Fu family's big house also met with Mrs. Fu and her party who were stranded and recuperating. Therefore, this group will eventually rush to Yuyan with the queen.
At the same time, on the same day that Mrs. Fu and her entourage arrived at the county seat, the county magistrate, who had been begging for performance, came up with an idea for the county magistrate.
The official said to the master: "That Liuda's family is all from a gangster ruffian, and they don't study well. Since the county magistrate wants to take the path of the capital through this Li Ming and his family, why not do it more thoroughly? β
"What do you mean by that?" The master couldn't understand the deep meaning of these words for a while, and he asked puzzled.
I saw that the official smiled sadly, and he said: "Liu Da has no son except for his nephew, if I have something valuable in my hand, except for hiding it, it will be handed over to the family." This Liu Da is now stubborn and doesn't admit it, why don't I find out the jade myself? β
"How to find it? I think this Liu Da and Liu Gou are both mixed up on the road, and they won't suffer much. is like the willow dog, who has been with him for a long time, and has never seen him show any clues. β
The official smiled sympathetically again, and he said let the master listen to him in detail. In this regard, he said the following.
"Since Liu Gou'er is not easy to find clues here, let's start with Liu's eldest son. I still know Liu's eldest son, and he is also a bastard who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and comes to everything. And he is less daring than Liu Da and Liu Gou, so he is so scared. Find someone to take this kid to gamble and let him pay off his debts.
If he doesn't pay it back, let someone tell him that he wants his life. In this way, if the jade is really kept by Liu's eldest son, or by his concubine, then the mother and son are afraid of losing their lives, and they will take out the jade. If they don't have jade in their hands, then Liu Da is unwilling to explain the clues, I can't say that I can find some clues from his son and concubine. In any case, although it is more troublesome, it will not suffer any way. β
When the master heard this, he said, "If you can find that piece of jade, this is also a good way." Then do as you say. When he found the jade, Li Ming and his family would naturally be grateful to our county master. β
But before the master finished speaking, the official said urgently: "My good master, I haven't finished talking about the small words, you should listen patiently." Li Minghe and his family got jade, which is not good for our county master! His family already has jade, and when jade has money, with their status, that money is always enough for them to live a prosperous life here for a while. Even so, how can they still find the county master and rely on the county master? So even if this jade is really found, it can't be handed over to Li Minghe's family. As long as Li Minghe's family is down, the county master can help his family and let his family continue to owe favors! βββ
Without waiting for the official to continue, the master thought about it for a while, and soon had already figured things out, and he said, "If the jade is really in the hands of Liu's eldest son, or in the hands of Liu's eldest concubine." This jade was taken out by them to pay off gambling debts, and the person who got the gambling money eventually ran away, so this jade ...... Naturally, they don't come back. If the jade can't be found in this way, it can't be blamed on our county master. Then Li Ming and his family are down, and if they have no jade, they will have no money, and they will naturally still need the help of our county master in the future. Right? β
After the master asked this, he and the official looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent. The official also stammered: "Master is worthy of being a master, this little carving insect trick makes you laugh!" "Where, where, this is a wonderful plan, very wonderful! I will report back to the county master, if the county master agrees to arrange it like this, it will naturally be indispensable to you. β
The two had such a good conversation with each other. Looking at the master's happy smile, the official knew that his plan was likely to be adopted. The master went to the back office, so he went to the errand room first to wait for news. The official walked out of the door in the light and shadow, and his appearance gradually made people see clearly. Who are you to be, isn't this the distant uncle of the willow dog?
It's not that a family doesn't enter a family, so they can calculate, this distant uncle is worthy of being a family with Liu Gou'er, even if it is a distant relative, this turn of the calculating people's minds is almost the same.
For a person who is full of profit, if there is a ready-made opportunity for him to climb up, he will naturally climb the pole.
There is no monthly pass bare, it's really not good-looking, and the second author has been working hard to update the article. (To be continued.) )
