Chapter 436: King of Benevolence, Righteousness, and Virtue
People are under the low eaves and have to bow their heads, Wei Xuan, as the head of the family, needs to think about the entire Wei family.
If King Qin hadn't returned the grain, many of their Wei clan would have starved to death.
And now it seems that this possibility is getting bigger and bigger, and he has to prepare early.
In the final analysis, although the "Mengying Eighteen Body Book" is a treasure, it can't be eaten as food after all, in this troubled era, being able to get food is the most important thing, so Wei Zhou can only endure the pain and cut his love.
Fortunately, Du Yi is a person who knows the goods, and he also loves calligraphy, so he can ask for a high price, if in the eyes of people who don't know the goods, it is just a piece of paper, and half a stone of grain will not be exchanged for you.
Wei Xuan sighed helplessly, put his hands behind his back, and went out to get the letter.
When he met his son Wei Mu outside, Wei Mu saw his father's face blushing, and hurriedly stood beside him with his hands down, bowed down and said, "I've seen my father, I don't know who made my father angry?" ”
"You ......" Wei Xuan saw his son, and suddenly became angry.
When the son recruited King Qin into the house, he thought that he had saved the lives of the whole family and was the life-saving benefactor of the Wei family.
Which Cheng thought, this King of Qin is no different from Guo Yan, he still emptied his family's food, and let him take a daughter, and now he has to sacrifice his beloved treasure.
But Wei Xuan thought about it, he really can't blame his son for this, in that case, the son didn't run for his life alone, and moved the rescuers back to save the whole family, which is a manifestation of great filial piety.
As for the things that the King of Qin did later and did not repay the grain and did not believe in his words, this is not something that his son can control, what does it have to do with his son?
"It's none of your business, let's go down," Wei Xuan waved his hand, left Wei Mu, and went to the study alone.
After a short time, he took the scroll of "Mengying's Eighteen Body Books" and returned to the hall, only to see Du Ji walking around rubbing his hands, a little uneasy.
The love of calligraphy and the love of beauty are the same thing, when you know that there is a stunning beauty to belong to you, the anxiety is naturally difficult to suppress, and Du Yi is this feeling.
In fact, with his previous relationship with Wei Xuan, he has also observed this masterpiece several times, but after all, it is to look at other people's things, just like looking at other people's beautiful concubines, and it is not yours, you can only look at it with an itchy heart, and you can't win people's love.
Now taking advantage of the Wei family's trouble, he used a thousand stones of grain to get this masterpiece in his hands, which was a big advantage.
Although there is a suspicion of falling into the well, who let Wei Zhou do such a desperate thing as divorce his wife first?
In doing so, he is punishing evil and promoting good, and justice is served, well, thinking so, it is much more comfortable......
"Take it!"
Wei Xuan stretched the scroll forward in his hand with a cold eyebrow, but his heart was dripping blood.
Du Yi hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but he didn't pull it, it turned out that Wei Zhou was too reluctant to let go at all.
"Brother Wei, what do you mean by this?" Du Yi frowned, and said with a straight face: "If you are reluctant, forget what you just said?" ”
"That's it," Wei Xuan's face was like ashes, and as soon as his hand was released, the scroll fell into Du Yi's hands.
Du Yi unfolded the scroll with trembling hands, as if he was peeling off the clothes of the beauty of his dreams.
He unfolded the scroll, and saw the flowing clouds and flowing handwriting, and the graceful handwriting jumped on the paper.
This thing can't be faked in front of him, it's exactly what he wants.
"Okay, Brother Wei, let's put the villain first and then the gentleman, how about making a note?" Du Yi was afraid that Wei Xuan would regret it, so his eyes were always fixed on the paper, and he said "indifferently": "As long as you sign and draw the pledge, the foolish brother will immediately send someone to send a thousand stones of grain." ”
"Sign, sign, it's all up to you!"
Wei Xuan waved his hand, lowered his head, couldn't bear to look at the words, the more he looked at it, the more distressed he became, and he felt like his favorite beauty had been taken away.
Du Yi rolled up the scroll and inserted it into his arms, but unfortunately the scroll was a little longer, revealing most of it, which looked extremely funny.
When he came to the bookcase, Long Feifeng wrote down two copies of the same note, and took the lead in signing and drawing on it, and then said, "Brother Fool has signed, please Brother Wei come." ”
Wei Xuan took heavy steps, came to the table, lifted the brush, gritted his teeth, and was about to put down the pen, when suddenly Wei Mu ran in.
"Father, King Qin has come to return the grain!"
"What? What did you say? Wei Xuan looked shocked, threw the brush on the table, and immediately blackened the newly written note.
He hurriedly walked out from behind the table, grabbed his son's shoulders with both arms: "Say it again." ”
"There are a lot of big carts outside, and each cart is full of grain, saying that the king of Qin is here to return our family," Wei Mu said.
"It's all true?" Wei Xuan's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he was surprised, unable to believe what his son said.
After all, he has left that concept these days, that is, King Qin has no food source at this time, what can he use to repay his family's grain?
The so-called borrowing of grain is just a pretext for overt robbery.
But he never expected that King Qin would really come to return his grain.
"King Qin didn't say how much this is going on?" Wei Xuan was eager to know the number.
If he can pay back half of it, or a quarter, it will be enough for his Wei family to tide over the difficulties, after all, the autumn harvest season has long passed, and the Qin Wangfu will definitely not be rich.
At this time, I saw Song Zhong coming in with his whole body in armor and a sword at his waist, and said angrily: "On the order of the king of my family, come to return the grain." ”
"It turned out to be General Song," Wei Xuan now saw that Song Zhong's face and beard were also very cute, and he smiled and said: "I don't know how much the king is going to pay, eighty percent or seventy percent?" ”
The number he shouted was deliberately increased by more than half of his psychological expectations, and it was naturally good to be able to pay back a little more.
"Seventy or eighty? Doesn't this mean that my king has no faith in his words? Song Zhong said proudly.
"Could it be ......" Wei Xuan was a little stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "The king is ready to return it all?" ”
"That's natural, not only all repaid, at the beginning, the king of my family also gave you the agreement, plus 20% interest, and now with interest, a total of 24,000 stones, I have shipped it, please accept it."
Song Zhong said, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Wei Xuan, which was the receipt of this era.
At this time, Wei Xuan's head was still dazed, if it weren't for this black tower-like Song Zhong standing in front of him, he couldn't believe that all this he heard was true.
At the beginning, Liu Ping agreed with him to borrow 20,000 stones of grain, with a loan period of two months and an interest rate of 20%, but he never expected Liu Ping to fulfill the contract.
After all, as a prince, if the grain is consumed at this time, where can he get so much compensation for him, not to mention the interest.
So much so that there was so much turmoil later.
But I never expected that now Liu Ping really believed in his word and could repay him with interest.
"Haha, it's really a benevolent and righteous king," Wei Xuan took the receipt that needed his signature, and turned from stunned to ecstasy.
