Chapter Ninety-Three: Gambling

The owner of a small restaurant committed suicide, because some time ago, he mortgaged the restaurant to Sifang Qianzhuang and borrowed some silver, and bought all the land. Unexpectedly, now the land price has suddenly dropped, he has no return, and the Sifang Money Village wants to come to collect his restaurant, he can't accept it for a while, so he jumps directly from the restaurant. Fortunately, it's only the second floor, and it's still alive. But because of this, it has affected the family, so why bother?

After everyone watched the owner who jumped off the building being sent to the medicine hall, they dispersed in twos and threes. Later, he talked about the land price, and inevitably talked about the matter of Lord Hai Ruihai.

Zhen Niang took Xiaoya and Hua'er to the house at this time, and Luo Wenqian seemed to be on the same road, walking in front slowly, so the two seemed to be accompanying one after the other.

At this time, Zhen Niang was thinking about jumping off the building while walking, and suddenly had an idea.

Let's just say, if the imperial court really wants to send this Hai Rui to check the land price, it makes no sense that people haven't come yet, so they make such a fuss? Of course, it is also possible that the DPRK and China have already made a decision, and some related households in the DPRK and China have revealed the news first, but in this case, wouldn't those who know the news have even more to cover it up and secretly sell the land themselves first, and then talk about it, so that it is impossible to get to the point where everyone knows about it now.

Thinking about it, Zhen Niang remembered some of the methods of copying in later generations.

Maybe this Hai Rui won't come to Nanjing at all for the time being, this is just someone else's smoke bomb.

Perhaps some people want to take land, but they think the land price is too high, so they release this smoke bomb to keep the land price down, and then they requirement a large amount of land to achieve their own goal of annexing land.

Well, the more Zhen Niang thought about it, the more she felt that this was a big possibility.

"Aren't you going home?" At this moment, Zhenniang heard Luo Wenqian's funny voice.

"Hmm." Zhen Niang came back to her senses. Looking around, his face turned slightly red. The alley at the entrance of Li's house has passed. Unknowingly, she followed Luo Wenqian out of a long distance.

It's too preoccupied to think about things. Zhenniang couldn't help pursing her lips slightly, but she was a little embarrassed.

But she wouldn't show it.

"Well, I'll go to the front and buy something. Mr. Luo, please. Zhen Niang said calmly. Then he took Xiaoya and Hua'er past Luo Wenqian and walked into the cloth village not far in front. With his back to Luo Wenqian, the corners of Zhen Niang's mouth twitched.

Luo Wenqian touched his nose, this girl obviously wanted to forget what she was thinking, but she was a dead duck with a hard mouth. Of course, he is a manly man, and he will not debunk the hard mouth of a deceased mother, so he smiled and saluted. Farewell left.

"Girl, girl, who is that?" Seeing Luo Wenqian leaving, the gossip in Xiaoya and Hua'er's hearts suddenly burst out, and both of them had the same expression, full of curiosity and gossip.

Zhen Niang turned her face and glared at the two little girls, and then each of them was angry and slapped on their foreheads: "It's just a fellow villager in Huizhou, what are you thinking." ”

"Oh." The little girl is more well-behaved. Immediately order.

But Hua'er is also a human spirit, but she is a thief with a smile: "Oh, is that so? ”

"No, how is that?" Zhen Niang asked angrily.

"How do I know?" The flowers are still smiling. Then seeing Zhenniang's glaring, she immediately hid behind the little girl.

"Alright, don't think about it. Let's go home. Zhen Niang didn't bother with these two girls, so she turned around and left first. The two Nizi didn't dare to gossip too much, so they also accepted their curiosity. Follow obediently.

In this way, after a while, he entered the big house of the Li Mansion.

"Zhen girl, you're back, go back to the house quickly, the second grandmother seems to have something in mind, I've asked you a few times just now." As soon as he entered the house, the Fang clan greeted him and said to Zhen Niang.

"Oh, do you know what?" Zhenniang asked strangely, but she thought in her heart, the second aunt went to the eldest aunt's house early in the morning, saying that she was attending a ladies' party, did something happen?

"I don't know, you can go quickly." Fang's Road.

"Okay." Zhen Niang nodded, and glanced at the Fang clan again, Xu was Uncle Jing Ming's warning that day, in the past two days, the Fang clan had not mentioned the matter of taxes and fees in front of her. From this point of view, at least the Fang clan was still obedient to Uncle Jingming.

Thinking about it, Zhen Niang walked back to the small building of the second entrance quickly, and sure enough, from a distance, I saw the second aunt standing in the small building and walking back and forth. The expression on his face was very anxious.

Seeing Zhen Niang coming back from a distance, Huang immediately greeted him: "Zhen Niang, come up with me." ”

Looking at the second aunt's cautious expression, Zhen Niang had a feeling that the matter was not trivial, so she followed the second aunt upstairs without saying a word.

"Second aunt, what's wrong?" Zhenniang asked.

"Zhenniang, did you bring two thousand taels of silver with you this time?" Huang asked.

"Yes." Zhen Niang nodded, the second aunt knew about this, and when she talked about it at this time, it was just a confirmation.

"Then can you take it out first and lend it to your eldest aunt." Huang said.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Niang first asked meaningfully, and then suddenly thought of the fact that she had seen the restaurant owner jumping off the building outside, and couldn't help jumping up: "It can't be that the eldest aunt also bought a lot of land before, right?" ”

With the foundation of the eldest aunt's family, if you do it a little bit, you will lose it, and you will lose it, but looking at the expression of the second aunt, I am afraid that it will be a big deal.

"Well, I bought the land, and I bought a lot, your aunt went to Huizhou to borrow money before, but she didn't borrow it, and she secretly mortgaged the house to the Sifang Money Village, and now the land price has dropped sharply, and the money village has come to the door, and your eldest uncle only knew about it, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood." Huang said.

"Why is my aunt so confused, I told her before, this place can't be touched." When Zhenniang heard the words of her second aunt, she was also anxious to jump to her feet.

"Actually, you can't completely blame your eldest aunt, this merchant's family, sometimes it can't help it, after all, this merchant's house is too low, that is, there is a few money in the pocket, and there is a sense of precariousness, so your eldest aunt takes your second cousin very seriously, and hopes that your second cousin will win the middle and change the lintel. Your eldest aunt has a very good relationship with the second lady of the Xu family, and she wants to marry the second lady of Xu's family, which can be regarded as a boost for your second cousin. A backer. ”

Speaking of this, Huang paused for a moment and continued: "Such a concern. Your eldest aunt will inevitably fall into the hands of someone else, who bought the land before. Many official wives have a share. It's just that their identities are not very good, so this land purchase is all handled by your eldest aunt, and the money is mostly your eldest aunt's cushion, in your eldest aunt's mind, in the merchant's family, the money can be earned back, so it is just a good fate. It's not an idea. Hai Rui is coming, causing everyone to sell the land they bought, and the land price has dropped sharply for a while, but now those ladies are hiding from your aunt one by two, I am afraid that they will not admit it, so in the end, these losses are all on your aunt's back. ”

After speaking, Huang sighed. The water in Nanjing is really deep.

Zhen Niang couldn't help but frown when she heard this, and originally said that the eldest aunt wanted to get the land herself, but now it seems that the eldest aunt is tied to the boat.

"But. Second aunt, just our two thousand taels, to be honest. In the homes of ordinary people, there are huge numbers. But in the matter of the eldest aunt, I am afraid that it will be two thousand taels down. I can't make a splash. Zhenniang sighed.

"That's no way, if you can make a little bit of it, or I'll write to your seventh grandmother again, and ask her to think of a way over there, I can't let your eldest aunt and uncle just cross the hard work of their lives, and this is about to harvest raw silk." Huang said.

Listening to the words of her second aunt, Zhen Niang walked around the house, and then slapped the table heavily: "Since you have already gone into the water, then simply go down to the bottom of the water, saying that you can't pick up the gold under the water, I don't know if the eldest aunt has the courage to do so." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Huang didn't understand.

"I'll go find my aunt and uncle first, and I'll talk about it when I get back." Thinking about it, Zhenniang took Xiaoya, called the second dog to set the car, and then went straight to her aunt's house.

As soon as I entered the door of my aunt's house, I could feel that my aunt's house was gloomy, and although some of the servants didn't know what was going on, they looked at the expressions of the main family, and they were also panicked.

"Zhenniang, you're here, come into the house and see your aunt and uncle." Han Chen, the eldest cousin who came out, also had a very unsightly expression on her face.

"What are you doing here? Come and see my jokes? As soon as Zhenniang entered the door, she was sprayed with saliva on her face by the eldest aunt.

"Auntie, we are a family, if something like this happens, how can I come to see the joke? I'm here to solve the problem. Zhen Niang said.

"You promised to lend me money?" Han Li looked surprised at first, and then shook his head dejectedly: "Forget it, I know how much silver you have, that bit of silver won't make much difference, anyway, I'm like this now, there's no need to pull you into the water again, your little bit of silver is still good to run Mozhuang." Han Li sat on the stool with a fart, dejected.

"Zhenniang, your mind, I received it with your aunt, it's okay, the house will be collected, then again, I can go step by step in the past to today, that is, I can start all over again, I believe I can still let your aunt live a happy life." Han Yigui said to Zhen Niang.

Listening to Han Yigui's words, and then looking at Han Yigui's old peasant-like dress, the only thing Zhen Niang sighed was that Old Man Li really chose a good husband for his aunt back then.

"Uncle, I have something to tell you, let's go to the study." Zhen Niang said at this time.

"Okay, come with me." Han Yigui looked at Zhen Niang, then got up and led Zhen Niang to calligraphy.

The two sat down, and while the little maid served tea and went down, Zhen Niang said: "Uncle, do you think the news that Hai Rui is coming is a little weird?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Han Yigui asked.

"I've thought about it, if the imperial court really wants to send Hai Rui, it is impossible for people to make such a big move before they arrive. Moreover, those who know the news that Hai Jui is coming, for their own interests, will definitely cover it first and make some profits from it, so why bother to stir up the situation so much and make people so panicked. Zhen Niang looked at Han Yigui and said.

Han Yigui tapped lightly on the table, don't say, Zhenniang is right, the news that Hai Rui is coming here is really weird: "Then what is your opinion?" ”

"Do you think this is someone operating in secret, some time ago, the price of land really rose too outrageously, so someone deliberately released this news, it is a kind of reshuffle, wash out the land in the big hands, and then reduce the land price, and so on, to a certain extent, he will collect the land in secret, so as to achieve his goal of annexing the land." Zhen Niang said.

"What you mean is that Hai Jui's coming is fake, and it is a deliberate message." Han Yigui was moved at this time, thinking carefully, this idea is very bold, but it is very reasonable.

"Exactly." Zhenniang nodded.

Han Yigui stood up and walked back and forth in the study.

"Uncle, since things are like this now, my two thousand taels of silver are not of much use, but I don't want to gamble." Zhen Niang said, she believes that with her uncle's experience, she naturally understands what she means, in the terminology of stocks, this is called chasing positions. Taking advantage of the sharp drop in land prices, he continued to buy land again, using this method to average the land that he had bought at a high price before, and when the news of Hai Rui's book and imprisonment came, it was time for the Han family to turn over.

Now it depends on whether my uncle has the courage to take a gamble.
