Chapter 175: It's better to do business in partnership
At the beginning of Bu'an's crossing, he entered Tianmu Academy, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Tianmu Academy is down, after all, it was also a world-famous Confucian master, so the identity of Tianmu student has brought him special treatment that does not worship officials.
Later, he copied a few words, wanted to refuse and welcome, half-pushed and half-mixed up with the identity of a genius, and since then he has also had a transcendent status in the clan and market life.
Later, as a guest of the Guogong Mansion, the wonderful arguments were full of surprises, and he went south to Jiaxing City, murdering the thief, and traveled smoothly along the way. This kind of experience, it is inevitable that there is a kind of illusion that the world is so big that there is nothing to go to, and there are no rivers and lakes and temples that cannot be lived.
It wasn't until the news of the "Imperial Marriage Contract" came that he saw clearly that this world was strictly hierarchical, respectful and orderly after all, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't resist the emperor's light words.
Up to now, whether or not to become an official is no longer within the scope of Bu'an's control, and even the matter of being an official itself has changed from a goal to a means and a way.
In the city of Jiaxing in October of the second year of Longxing, Bu An was selling real estate while pondering his "great cause of rebellion".
If the official fortune is prosperous and dominates one side, it is natural that they can rebel in a grand manner in the name of King Qin or the Qing monarch; however, there are also examples of successful rebellions by beggars and post keepers, so in the final analysis, what is most needed for rebellion is talent.
As soon as he thought of this, he felt that the trip to Jiaxing had dragged on for a long time, so he hurriedly dealt with the trivial matters here, and it was the right thing to return to Yuezhou to bring the team.
But the woman who came to intercede was gone for several days, and it was not until Bu An sold the property left by the old thief for seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and only the most valuable shops were left to bargain with the buyer, and she was late.
This time, she also brought a lobbyist who helped to intercede, a middle-aged man in his forties who looked like a businessman.
Bu An looked at this lobbyist a little familiar, and when he was wondering, he only heard the woman call this middle-aged man "Uncle Chengqing", and then he reacted: Isn't this person the second brother of Su Chengqing, the head of the Su Mansion in Qinglong Town, Su Chengqing!
It turned out that this woman had no bottom in her heart, so she brought Bu'an's mother's family to help.
Bu An was originally thinking of cutting through the mess quickly, but he just pushed the boat down the river, saying that he had already walked the door, and things had come to an eyebrow.
The woman was overjoyed to hear this, and asked how much silver she needed to tie the joints.
Bu An stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers apart, and compared a five-character figure.
The woman took a long breath, obviously a heart was hanging in her throat, and she could finally put it down, she was probably afraid that Bu An would see her expression, so she quickly pretended to be embarrassed again, and said softly: "Five thousand taels of silver...... I'm afraid that I have to sell my land to raise so much. ”
Bu An noticed the smile on Su Chengqing's face, and knew what this meant-Jiaxing Bu's would not be so embarrassed even for five thousand taels of silver-it seemed that although Su Chengqing was embarrassed by his feelings and was dragged to intercede, he was still looking at his nephew in private.
"Five thousand taels?" Bu An shook his head and said, "How can there be such a good thing." ”
The woman of the step family looked suspicious, and muttered after a long time: "Could it be that you want 50,000 taels of silver?"
Bu An was prepared for her reaction, shook his head and said, "I said earlier, this matter is not so easy to handle." The robbery of thieves on the night of the fire in the government was not a trivial matter, and now that the files of the closed case have been sent to Zhentai, it is not one or two people who steal the beams and change the pillars and risk losing their heads...... In my opinion, you might as well go back. ”
His words were reasonable, even in Su Chengqing's ears, he felt that it was indeed the case.
The woman of the step family was like ashes, tears flowed down, and she gritted her teeth for a while, and begged: "Brother An, you can think of a way again, and then think of a way...... I can't get 50,000 taels of silver, do you think this is good? You can take the 10,000 taels of silver tickets first! I'll make it up again, and I'll make up another 10,000 taels anyway!"
Bu An handed her a stack of silver tickets, and gently pushed it back: "This kind of thing, how can there be a deposit." People ask for 50,000 taels of silver, and 40,000 taels is a big face......"
The woman took the bill blankly, stood up tremblingly, took two steps out, and suddenly turned back and fell to her knees, kowtowing with a bang.
Bu An hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and a trace of compassion floated in his heart.
He supported her with both hands, not letting her kowtow again, but he didn't speak, Su Chengqing saw this and persuaded: "I have a way, I don't know if it will work." ”
When the woman of the Bu family heard him say this, it was like a dying person seeing a ray of light, and cried: "Uncle, tell me quickly, what is the way?"
Bu An was also a little curious, not knowing whether his second uncle was too confused or too smart.
"Since my aunt can't raise 50,000 taels of silver...... Su Chengqing is the same generation as the women of the Bu family, and the uncle and aunt are all called by Bu An, "Then, don't save all people!"
The woman felt that this was reasonable, wiped away her tears, and looked at Bu An with an expectant face.
"The files have all been sent to Hangzhou, and it is a capital crime to change thirty people, and it is also a capital crime to change one person, what is the difference?" Bu An sighed and said: "That's it! For the sake of the family's face, I will also take 10,000 taels of silver! You only need to raise 30,000 taels!"
The woman of the Bu family looked at Bu An in disbelief and said, "Brother An'er is serious?"
Bu Anxin rolled his eyes in the end, this play really has no bottom line, but he said earnestly: "Your life is at stake, how dare you joke." ”
The woman was about to kowtow again, but Bu'an stopped her again, and the 10,000 taels of silver tickets were also put away by Bu'an.
Bu An persuaded her to remind her to raise the money as soon as possible, and it would be more difficult to do it after a long delay, so she naturally nodded again and again.
Not long after, the woman of the Bu family left, and Su Chengqing stayed. The two uncles and nephews didn't talk when they were in Qinglong Town, and when they met in a different place at this time, they naturally wanted to reminisce about the past.
Su Chengqing said that when Xiu'e died unjustly, no one in the Bu family came out to speak, and today it has fallen to such a point, and it is really unhappy to retribution.
Bu An smiled and asked him why he came to Jiaxing City.
Su Chengqing replied, it is difficult to explain, after a long sigh, he opened the chatterbox, in fact, it is nothing more than the three brothers of the Su family divided their families, the eldest Su Chengen stayed in Qinglong Town, the third Su Chengfu went away to Huizhou, he himself had a dilemma, wanted to go away, and fell in love with his mother, so the family went to Jiaxing City.
Bu An nodded, it was still seventy or eighty miles away from the East China Sea, and it was not as dangerous as Qinglong Town, so Su Chengqing did this, and it could be regarded as taking care of both ends.
Su Chengqing sighed that it was difficult to leave his homeland, saying that he had just moved from Qinglong Town to Jiaxing City, and he was a little struggling, and he really didn't know how difficult it would be for Chengfu to go to Huizhou.
When Bu An heard this, he had some thoughts and asked, "What are your uncle's plans for the future?"
Su Chengqing said: "Where are the plans, take a step, count a step." ”
Bu An pondered for a moment and said, "Since you don't have any plans, it's better to partner with me and do some business." ”
Su Chengqing was puzzled: "An'er has a business in Jiaxing?"
"Not at the moment, but I have the best storefront in Jiaxing City, and there is silver," Bu An weighed the 10,000 taels of silver tickets left by the woman of the Bu family, and said with a smile: "A lot of silver." ”
Su Chengqing shook his head with a smile and said: "An'er doesn't know, the most important thing to do business is neither the storefront nor the silver, but the ...... of the door."
Bu An got up and said, "Uncle, don't leave today, I'll take you to meet someone." ”
