Chapter Ninety-Eight: Borrowing Money
Jiang Xiu saw that Zhuo Shi didn't speak, so he was even more anxious, he put the teapot on the table heavily, and shouted, "You are talking!" What the hell is going on? Why do you keep drinking water when you come back? ”
Zhuo's heart was empty, and the cup in his hand was immediately frightened by Jiang Xiu's intimidation, and the hot tea immediately spilled on the table, Zhuo's hurriedly wiped the table, glared at Jiang Xiu as if complaining, and said, "What are you yelling at?" I'm scared to death, don't be in such a hurry! ”
Seeing Zhuo's words like this, thinking about her appearance that she was not in a hurry at all, Jiang Xiu thought that Zhuo's had already borrowed money, so he could be so indifferent, thinking of this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, you can drink as much as you want, I won't urge you." ”
The teacups have all been knocked over, what else is there to drink? Besides, she drank tea mainly to delay time, and wanted to find a way to explain to Jiang Xiu, but now it seems that even if she drinks more tea, I am afraid she will not be able to think of any way, it is better to tell the truth earlier.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Shi wiped the water off the table, then put the cup next to him, looked at Jiang Xiu, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "I just came back from the Yan Wangfu. ”
Jiang Xiu nodded and looked at her with a smile on her face. Of course, he knew that the Zhuo family had just returned from the Yan Wangfu, and what he wanted to know was not this, but whether the Zhuo family had brought the money back.
Zhuo didn't know how angry Jiang Xiu would be when she learned the facts, but if she didn't say it, she wouldn't be able to explain everything at all, she looked up cautiously, and then said, "I asked my little sister to borrow silver taels, but my sister refused to lend me money." ”
Jiang Xiu was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe that Jiang Aoxue refused to lend him money, he didn't get angry, but muttered, "How come?" Why wouldn't my little sister lend me money? ”
Although his previous relationship with his sister was really not good, but his sister and himself are brother and sister, and they are related by blood, which is impossible to extinguish.
Besides, my sister is soft-hearted, and when she hears her current situation, it is impossible not to lend a hand, how could she not borrow money?
The more Jiang Xiu thought about it, the more strange he felt, he anxiously asked Zhuo Shi who was sitting on the side, and there was already obvious annoyance in his voice: "What the hell is going on?" Hurry up and make things clear to me. ”
Zhuo Shi closed her eyes for a moment, she knew that things would turn out like this, so she didn't dare to tell Jiang Xiu the truth, but if she didn't say it now, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get this matter over.
She cautiously glanced at Jiang Xiu beside her, and said in a low voice: "Originally, she was going to lend it to me, but I said the wrong thing, which directly angered my sister, and she was angry, so she directly stopped borrowing it." ”
Jiang Xiu didn't know how to react for a while, he digested it for a long time before he knew what Zhuo meant, the money that had already arrived in his hand was actually given away by this stupid woman in a few words, he didn't know whether to be angry, or to ask the cause and effect of the matter first.
He took a deep breath before holding back his anger and asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on?" Make things clear to me. ”
As soon as Zhuo Shi heard Jiang Xiu's tone, he knew that he was angry enough now, and her body was also a little trembling, and she tried to keep calm and said: "Even if I went to your sister to borrow money, she also promised to lend it to me, but she asked me to write an IOU, and I would return the money on the appointed day, so I said something together." She was a little hesitant to tell Jiang Xiu what she had said.
Jiang Xiu is not a fool, so she naturally knows the meaning of her words. Although he was dissatisfied with Jiang Aoxue's request for him to repay the money at that time, if he could borrow money, he would be able to alleviate his temporary worries, and as for the future, he would consider it later.
If he was allowed to get the money now and let him pay it back later, he would be happy, but Zhuo's stupid woman actually ruined all this. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu became even more angry, he pointed at Zhuo Shi with his hand, and scolded: "A stupid woman is a stupid woman, what's wrong with letting you pay back the money in the future, did you still scold your little sister for this matter?" Don't you know who she is now? She is now the princess, don't you scold her for looking for her own death? ”
Zhuo Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I didn't scold her, although I was also a little angry, I didn't show it." But then I asked how she was with the prince, and she stopped talking, I thought that King Yan didn't like his sister at all, and he ...... There was no sense of proportion, so I directly my sister off, she was going to beat me, and in the end she just kicked me out, but ...... The money still hasn't been lent to me. ”
From her words, Jiang Xiu could understand what was going on, it turned out that the woman from the Zhuo family said the wrong thing and directly angered her sister, no wonder Jiang Aoxue refused to lend her money.
He was about to burst into a rage, and he had to work hard to control himself so as not to slap Zhuo's and scolded, "Are you having a broken head?" If King Yan didn't like his sister, why didn't he let so many daughters marry his sister? You actually her off and despised her in this matter, and it's good that she doesn't kill you. ”
Zhuo didn't know, if time was repeated, she would like to give herself a slap in the face, but she couldn't, it had happened, even if she regretted it, it was useless, she could only keep looking forward.
She wanted to turn this matter over, but Jiang Xiu didn't think so, he had to ask what was going on before he could think about what to do next. Holding back his anger, he asked, "What did you say, I want to know as it is." ”
"It's that I thought the prince didn't like her, so I said that she would let her include my niece as a side concubine to the princess." Zhuo knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only confess happily.
Jiang Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, Zhuo's words were more and more annoying, this is also my sister, if it was put on ordinary people, I am afraid that Zhuo would have already started on Zhuo.
How long has my sister been married to the prince, she persuaded her sister to take a concubine, and let her niece accept herself, which is simply sending her niece to compete with her sister for status, this kind of vicious mind can be seen in front of her, not to mention that her sister is such a shrewd person.
Jiang Xiu originally thought that the Zhuo family married into the Hou Mansion, so she put the interests of the Hou Mansion first, and it turned out that she was still thinking about expanding her power. This was simply unbearable for him, and thinking of this, he stood up suddenly, got up and gave Zhuo Shi a slap.
Zhuo Shi was unprepared, she was directly knocked to the ground by a slap from Jiang Xiu, she covered her cheek with her hand, and looked at Jiang Xiu who was standing on the side in shock and anger, and even a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Xiu pointed at her and said angrily: "You still want to send your niece to the palace, are you planning for the Hou Mansion or for yourself?" What are you sending your niece for? Do you want to compete with my sister for favor? ”
Although Jiang Xiu's treatment of his sister is not affectionate, he is still angry when he sees someone who wants to ruin his sister's happiness, and he can't help but do it.
Zhuo didn't know how to argue for herself, she tried to explain, but she couldn't speak at all because of the sharp pain in her cheeks.
Jiang Xiu felt disgusted when he looked at her face, and after glaring at her angrily, he sat back on the edge of the table and said, "Since you don't think about the Hou Mansion, then our Hou Mansion doesn't have to let you stay here, you pack your things, and you will go home tomorrow!" ”
Sure enough, Zhuo's was so shocked that she couldn't even care about anything, she crawled to Jiang Xiu's feet, grabbed his trouser legs, and shouted hoarsely: "You can't divorce me, you can't divorce me because of this little thing." ”
"A trifle? Is this still called a trifle? Do you know what impact these words you say today will have? Ao Xue may not be able to help me for the rest of her life, she is the princess, and her husband is the Yan King who is favored by His Majesty, do you know how much power I can have with her power? And now, all this because of a few words from you, there is nothing, nothing. The more Jiang Xiu thought about it, the more angry he felt, and he couldn't help but raise his foot again and kick Zhuo's foot.
Zhuo's waist hurts sharply, but this is nothing compared to her being taken home, if she is retired by Houfu, what face will she have to live in this world again? Even her mother's family won't let her go.
She grabbed Jiang Xiu's pants and didn't let him leave, and tried hard to recover: "You dissipate your anger first, this matter is not without any room for redemption, we can still save it, I will definitely make my sister change her mind." ”
Jiang Xiu paused when he wanted to leave, and then hesitated for a long time before looking back at Zhuo Shi and said, "What can you do?" ”
Zhuo Shi saw that he finally kept Jiang Xiu, and hurriedly said: "You are her brother in the end, and I am her sister-in-law in the end, although she is now a princess, but in the end the blood relationship cannot be broken, let's go and beg her, she is soft-hearted and will always help again." ”
Jiang Xiu thought about it carefully, and felt that what Zhuo said still made some sense, but let him, the elder brother, borrow money from his sister, and pass it on, what would others say about him? He still can't pull his face down in the end. So, he glanced at Zhuo Shi, who was kneeling beside him, and said lightly: "Since you provoked this matter, then you should go and ask Aoxue." ”
Now don't say that let her beg Jiang Aoxue, even if she is asked to die, she can also do it, Zhuo Shi nodded hurriedly and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely beg your sister, and I will definitely let her lend you money, you can rest assured, right?" ”
