Chapter 129: Smile for my lady!
"Oh, Master Tang is awake." Hui Bai slapped his face twice, showing his joy.
It's just that slow and leisurely tone, no matter how you listen to it, it doesn't match the word "happy".
Old Man Tang sat up curtly, "Ahem, people are old, their body bones are not good, and they are easy to faint this morning and night, hehe......"
"Huibai, help Master Tang sit down. The matter hasn't been discussed yet, so don't get dizzy and break it again. Zhou Shu sat back and commanded idly.
"Yes." Hui Bai agreed, and sat down with Master Tang in his arms.
Master Tang held the list in his hand, closed his eyes and closed them, wishing that he would really faint, close his eyes and never wake up.
In order to save Tang Yun, he has already taken half of the family property. Taking out another 300,000 yuan will hurt your muscles and bones, do you want to live this big family's life?
can look at Zhou Shu's posture, if he doesn't take the money out, this matter will not be good.
After struggling for a long time, he said cheekily: "Second Young Master, you also know that a while ago, because of my unfilial son, I have already converted the real estate and real estate in the name of the Tang family into silver and used it to be counted."
This autumn's income has plummeted, and I can't afford to come up with so much money, so let's see if I can ...... it."
"Master Tang." Zhou Shu opened his mouth to interrupt him, "You don't have to cry poor with me, as the saying goes, there are three catties of nails in a broken boat, not to mention that your Tang family's boat is not broken."
Could it be that you see that I am just an idle young master of the palace who does not learn and has no skills, and you think that I am not good at my brain and easy to fool? ”
Which of these high-ranking families doesn't have some secret property? If the Tang family had fallen like this, his grandfather would have kicked the Tang family away a long time ago, and would he order him not to pursue it?
Master Tang hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, Tang has no such intention, but 300,000 taels is too ...... It's too much, where are you going to ask me to go for you for a while? If you don't open your favor, 100,000 taels? ”
Zhou Shu couldn't help sneering when he heard that he had cut off more than half of it at once, "Master Tang, you should go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and you can still bargain?"
The list was clearly written and unambiguous. Not to mention, three guards and a coachman died in the palace, and two guards were seriously injured and are still unconscious. Which of them is not a drag on the family, and which one is not the pillar of the family?
The pillars of the roof fell, leaving the family helpless and waiting to be fed. As the master, I always have to make up for them, so that they have rice to cook and clothes to cover their bodies, instead of watching them live on the streets, freezing and starving to death, right?
Could it be that in the eyes of Master Tang, the lives of these people are not lives, they are not mustard? ”
Seeing that he didn't give an inch, Master Tang was also angry in his heart, and couldn't help but settle the account with him, "Second Young Master, that's not how the account is calculated."
Each of the king's guards was worth a maximum of four or five taels of silver per month, and forty or fifty taels a year. Even if he was born and started to make money, if he could live to be 100 years old without disaster or disease, he would be able to earn four or five thousand taels.
You will ask for 300,000 taels for one mouth, isn't it ......"
The second half of the sentence was swallowed back because of Zhou Shu's cold eyes.
"Master Tang's algorithm is really fresh." Zhou Shu's face sank like water, "Then I have to ask, how much silver does Master Tang earn every month?" How much money can I earn in total from now on to live to be 100 years old?
How about I give you the money for your life? ”
Master Tang was stupid and speechless.
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, and secretly said that he was still too soft-hearted, and he should be like Jian Ying said, asking for a million taels. For a slippery person like Master Tang, if you are polite, he will be a bully for you.
When he spoke again, he was not polite at all, "It is you who say that everything is easy to discuss, but you are Master Tang, and I don't have time to waste my words with you." If you continue to discuss, you will be happy, and if you do not want to discuss, I will immediately go to the prefect's yamen.
If you think that I don't speak up because I don't dare, then you're very wrong, and I don't say it because I don't have to.
Don't forget, Mrs. Zun also has a part in the case committed by your son. If it weren't for the care of my father, do you think Mrs. Zun would still be able to lie down in the mansion and recuperate?
I want to dispose of Mrs. Zun to vent my wife's anger, there is a way, there is no need to put this matter in the open.
The truth of different paths to the same end, Master Tang won't not understand, right? ”
Master Tang understands the truth of different paths and the same destination, and even more understands the truth of breaking wealth and avoiding disasters, his eyes are gloomy, and he sits on the chair a little sluggishly, "I took this silver, but I can't make it up for a while, can the second young master give me a few days?" ”
"Absolutely." Hui Bai picked up the conversation with a smile, "Then ask Master Tang to write down the IOU, with a deadline of three days, and make up 300,000 taels." After 3 days, the interest will start to be calculated. ”
Master Tang's eyes widened in astonishment, "Do you still want to calculate interest?" ”
"Master Tang doesn't have to worry, we are not so black-hearted, we only count two points of profit." Hui Bai soothed him softly.
Do you still say that you are not black-hearted?
Old Man Tang was angry, anxious and distressed, sweating all over, and couldn't tell whether it was cold or hot.
Hui Bai glanced at him, and then took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, "This is a copy of the pawn ticket and the bill to redeem these jewelry, please Master Tang count this silver together." ”
Master Tang took the bill and flipped through it, and after a rough calculation, there were almost 10,000 taels, only to feel that his throat was sweet, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Forced to write down the IOU and press the humiliating handprint.
Hui Bai read it himself first, and then showed it to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu looked at it and felt that there was no problem, so he handed it to Hui Bai to collect, and then stood up, "It's over, then I'll leave first." When Master Tang has collected enough money, I will ask someone to send the confession to the house along with the witness Wang Bao. ”
"Yes, Second Young Master, go slowly." Master Tang lowered his eyelids to hide the anger in his eyes.
Zhou Shu walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered one more thing, "My lady was frightened a lot this time, and I don't want the same thing to happen a second time."
The mother-in-law who 'made her own opinions' and 'ran away from the house', and asked Master Tang to deal with it properly, if she made her own claims again, I would have to settle more accounts with Master Tang, and the new and old ones would not be able to solve it with 300,000 taels.
And Mrs. Zun, since she is sick, let her take care of her illness. If I or my wife meet Mrs. Zun in Jinan Mansion in the future, if something happens to me without speculation, it will not be solved by 300,000 taels. ”
That mother-in-law, Master Tang, had planned to give it up a long time ago, and he would dispose of it. Mrs. Tang is not allowed to show up in Jinan Mansion, isn't it forcing him to send people away? After all, he is a wife, and there are so many children watching, how can he bear it?
If you don't agree and annoy him, the consequences will ......
regretted for a while that he shouldn't have lost money, and was forced to write down the IOU in a hurry due to Zhou Shu's momentum. Now that the IOUs and confessions are in the hands of others, there is no room for them to talk about the conditions at all.
After a few back and forth, he finally agreed, "Yes." ”
Zhou Shu nodded, took two steps forward, and remembered one more thing, "That's right......"
Old Master Tang's eyelids jumped wildly, "What else does the second young master command?" ”
"That box of jewelry......
"It's given to the second young lady, and the right to make amends for the second young lady on behalf of the cheap lady." Master Tang is knowledgeable and authentic.
When he is like this, where does it seem that he really wants to pay it back? Three hundred and ten thousand taels are gone, and this box is not bad. It's better to be generous and send this plague god away quickly. After two rounds of dealing with him, I am afraid that another layer of white paper will be pasted on the door of the Tang family.
Zhou Shu raised the corners of his lips, "Then I'll smile for my lady." ”
