Chapter 81: Scraping together money
Li's words poked into Ran Huaying's heart, the woman's sixth sense has always been keen, Ran Huaying has already noticed that the tenderness of King Kang Gu Zichen no longer belongs to herself, these days, Gu Zichen has not come to the mansion to look for her, I heard that he went to the barracks, if in the past, Gu Zichen was going to leave Kyoto City for a while, no matter what, he would come to Ran Mansion to say goodbye to her, but this time he didn't.
This time, Gu Zichen didn't come to Ran's Mansion to say goodbye to her, thinking of this, Ran Huaying's heart was like someone had stripped off a piece of heart-tip meat, not only a piercing pain, but also empty.
She churned the silk handkerchief with both hands, and she hated so much that she could only swallow it in her stomach if she gritted her silver teeth, not to mention Yao Qingsong's special status in the Yao family, this Li family is also the daughter of a big family, and her brother is Gu Zichen's most powerful and trusted general, Ran Huaying knows that she is her uncle, and now she can't afford to offend.
Ran Huaying could only bury her hatred in her heart, and secretly swore that one day when she successfully married Gu Zichen, the king of Kang, and sat in the back seat, she would make Li kneel in front of her and admit her mistakes, and she would make Li pay the price for what she did today and what she said.
Ran Huaying endured the pain and hatred in her heart, and with a well-behaved and obedient lady, she slowly walked in front of Li's family, grabbed one of Li's arms and said obediently: "Uncle, look at what you are talking about?" We are all a family, a family shares weal and woe, and don't let our family have a dislike because of a note from an outsider, doesn't this make relatives and enemies happy? ”
Ran Huaying is quite smart, she saw the provocative meaning in the thin dust note, and quickly pointed it out, she was clever and behaved, originally wanted to ease the tense atmosphere here, so as to change the topic, but she didn't expect that the Li family would not eat this set at all.
Also, since the provocation has been successful, it seems superfluous for others to say anything, not to mention that these words still came out of the mouth of Yao's daughter Ran Huaying, and the Li family would only feel that Ran Huaying's words were excusing her mother.
The muscles on Li's face twitched, and he looked at Ran Huayan without smiling, as if he was ridiculing Ran Huahua's ability to reverse black and white.
She brushed Ran Huaying's hand holding her arm, "Okay, that's right, since you said that we are all a family, and the family shares weal and woe, well, no matter what method you use, as long as you hand over the five thousand taels of silver to the Xiancheng Tonghui Silver Village in Kyoto, redeem the antidote and save my son, I will recognize us as still a family." ”
Li's voice was cold and detached, like the frost of midwinter blowing on Ranjali's body, which was obviously a hot summer, but Ranjacara wilted there motionless like a frosted eggplant.
After finishing speaking, Li didn't look at Ran Huaying anymore, she glared at Yao Xianfeng, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Still not leaving? Leave more time for them to scrape together money. After that, the Li family pulled his son Yao Qingsong and left the Ran Mansion angrily, and Yao Xianfeng naturally followed.
The Yao Mansion and the Ran Mansion are relatives, Ran Yunie and Yao Xianfeng are both political colleagues who support Kang Wang Gu Zichen, the relationship between the two families is not bad on weekdays, and the Li family's attitude towards Ran Huaying in the past is also enthusiastic; But today, Ran Huaying doesn't understand, why did her aunt turn her face so ruthlessly?
Ran Huaying naturally won't understand now, because she is not a mother yet, and when she becomes a mother, she will know that what mother in this world is not angry that her son was used as a gun by others? What's more, the person who made the gun is still their relative, the child's aunt!
This kind of framing from relatives is the most hurtful, and Li was heartbroken by Yao Yuer.
Li left angrily, not so much that she was leaving time for Ran Mansion to raise money, but that she was hurrying up time to raise money for herself.
She didn't dare to gamble on her son's life, let alone pin her hopes on the Ran Mansion, she had to make up enough of the five thousand taels of silver to be sure.
Five thousand taels of silver, whether it is for the Ran Mansion or the Yao Mansion, is not much, and it should be taken out with the strength of these two families; However, the five thousand taels of silver were not too small, and it was not so easy for the two families to scrape together so much cash and silver in thirty days.
Especially Ranfu.
Most of the soldiers taken over by King Kang Gu Zichen were brothers who followed King Rui Gu Ziyi to fight in the south and north, and if he wanted to completely subdue these people for his own use, he must win the hearts of these people, and the purpose of his visit to the barracks this time was to buy new clothes for the brothers in the barracks and change them into new equipment.
There is a lot of silver needed to buy clothes and change clothes, although the court officials who support Gu Zichen have expressed some to Gu Zichen, but everyone does what they can and takes out appropriate silver according to their own situation to support Gu Zichen's work.
Only Ran Yune, there is still a month when the Ran Mansion collects the annual rent, and the Ran Mansion will not be short of money as soon as the annual rent is collected, he simply took all the money in the treasury of the house to support Gu Zichen, in this way, not only let Gu Zichen see his loyalty, but also played a good leading role, everyone saw that he took out a lot of silver, and some officials who originally only wanted to support one or two hundred taels of silver were embarrassed, so they had to take out at least five or six hundred taels to support Gu Zichen's work.
Gu Zichen was very satisfied with Ran Yune's performance this time, and praised Ran Yune even more, and promised that he would give the Ran family unparalleled glory in the future, Ran Yune's goal was achieved, and naturally he was happy in his heart.
It's just that this happiness has not been a few days, and something like this happened in Ran Mansion today, if it weren't for today's accident, the remaining silver left in Ran Mansion would be enough for Ran Mansion to spend in the past two months, and now he really can't take out much silver.
Ran Yune was so anxious that she paced back and forth in Yao's room, "Yao Yu'er, Yao Yu'er, what do you see you have done?" (If it weren't for the scruples, Ran Yune really wanted to scold Yao Yu'er for being a loser and a lost star.) You're happy now, you're happy, aren't you? ”
Yao's intestines are also repentant, if she knew that embarrassment of a dancing girl would bring so much trouble to herself, she would definitely let go of that dancing girl first, and only target Ran Xianchen alone.
But there is no regret medicine in the world, right now, her mother's family Yao can't count on it, she doesn't dare to bother her mother's family for this kind of thing, and it is not realistic to collect rent in advance.
For a moment, the air in Yao's room became burnt.
"Father, are all these five thousand taels of silver from our Ran Mansion? Isn't it supposed that the two families should be half a family? Ran Huaying asked childishly, she felt that her mother was at fault, but Yao Qingsong was the one who acted, and it was because he didn't do things well that he had the current result, so Yao Qingsong was also at fault, and this silver should be half of the family.
Ran Huaying didn't think about it, but he didn't expect that his uncle was the eldest son of Yao Mansion, representing the entire Yao Mansion, and Ran Mansion could not develop without the help of Yao Mansion.
Ran Yune shook his head and sighed, "Ying'er, why did you make a fool at the critical moment?" If you don't pay two thousand five hundred taels of silver and a penny, the result will be the same, so even if our Ran Mansion and your uncle's family completely tear their faces, we will also lose the strongest help of Yao Mansion.
Only when we have enough of the five thousand taels of silver to redeem the antidote for Yao Qingsong, and then we will personally send the antidote to Yao's mansion, and sincerely compensate for it, can the damaged relationship between our two families be repaired, and we will have a chance to keep this help, you know? ”
Ran Huaying is a smart person, Ran Yune understands a little, she is not married to Gu Zichen yet, she is not a serious Princess Kang, everything is variable, at this juncture she can't lose the support of the Yao Mansion, and the Ran Mansion can't lose the support of the Yao Mansion.
"Father, I know that you have only paid a lot of cash and silver to King Kang, and now there is really no money in the mansion, should we go to General Xia Guang to borrow it?" Ranjacaranda mentioned.
Ran Yune shook his head, "No, because of the incident in the small courtyard next door to King Rui's Mansion last time, we have already had a disagreement with General Xia Guang, if we go to him to borrow money this time, I am afraid that if we don't borrow the money, we will be ridiculed by him." ”
Ran Yune said it soundingly, in fact, where was he embarrassed to go to Xia Guang to borrow money? When he used all the money in the treasury of the house to support Gu Zichen, he compared Xia Guang, Gu Zichen's little god of wealth, but he won a lot of face for himself, and this time he asked him to go to Xia Guang to borrow money, not only could he not open this mouth, but he also couldn't afford to lose this person.
"Let's sell a shop, it's just that I don't want to sell that big pharmacy, selling a small shop may not have enough money, it is estimated that there is still a little money, if it is not too much, we will think of other ways to make up." Yao on the inside of the screen opened.
Ran Yune couldn't save his face to borrow money, and the Yao family married a lot of shop land deeds, and selling one or two shops that were not very profitable was exactly what Ran Yune thought about to solve the urgent need of Ran Mansion.
He had a cold and cold appearance, and snorted coldly at Yao Yu'er in the screen: "Hmph! Yao Yu'er, this is all your own doing, and you should use your dowry shop to solve the urgent needs of Ran Mansion. ”
What chilling words!
Yao Yu'er didn't care about the coldness.
Their daughter is not married yet, King Kang has not ascended the throne, they still need the Yao family, then Yao Qingsong is her own nephew who says anything, she wants to save people and keep her daughter's future glory, Ran Yune's cold words have been automatically ignored by her.
Yao's mind at the moment was all about the pros and cons of selling each shop, and after thinking for a while, she finally decided to sell the ready-to-wear shop in the west of the city, because there was no Xiuniang in the embroidery village to embroider and embellish the ready-to-wear clothes, and the ready-to-wear clothes of the ready-to-wear shop were not very good.
"Why don't we sell the ready-to-wear store in the west of the city!" Yao spoke in a consultative tone.
"You can do it yourself." Ran Yuni brushed his sleeves away, his words were cold, without any temperature.
A selfish man like Ran Yune, only his own business is the matter, the shop belongs to the Yao family, how to sell it, the Yao family decides for himself, regardless of his business, he only cares about whether he can make up enough five thousand taels of silver, he only knows that Yao Xianfeng's help is still reluctant to lose.
Yao's nose is now blue and her face is swollen, and the bruises on her face can't disappear in seven or eight days, she can't go out to sell the shop, and Ran Yune brushes her sleeves away regardless of anything, Yao knows that Ran Yune can't pull this face to sell the shop, and now, the task of selling the shop naturally falls on Ran Huaying's shoulders.
Ran Mansion wanted to scrape together enough five thousand taels of silver, so he had to let Ran Huaying sell the shop.
Yaofu is different.
As soon as Li returned home, he began to rummage through the cabinets and turned over all the cash, silver tickets, and gold and silver jewelry at home.
"Rong'er, what are you doing here?" Yao Xianfeng asked.
