Chapter 492: Silver and the House (2)
Qiao shouted excitedly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his grandmother's coughing, and Qiao stuck out his tongue in fright, and immediately lowered his voice and said: "Uncle, this time, my sister and the eldest lady spent 500,000 taels to buy my aunt to win, by the way, uncle, do you know what the odds are when you compete with the Tatars?" β
Wu Zheng smiled: "You know, isn't it just a hundred losses?" β
Joe laughed, "That's right! Our family now has an extra 100,000 taels all of a sudden. Those fools actually look down on their uncle so much, and my sister and eldest lady are going to go bankrupt this time. β
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Others lost 10,000 taels of silver without even blinking their eyes, and they still got your 50 million taels of silver?" β
Qiao said: "Is my uncle's Jinyulou?" has already lost bankruptcy, and I don't know who actually looks down on my uncle so much, and I can't afford to pay two million taels at once, even if I lose one hundred gold and jade buildings, even if I have a big business, I can't afford to lose it! β
"And where did you get all this money?"
"Sister has long known that Jinyulou can't afford to lose money this time, so we didn't bet on Jinyulou, but other gambling houses in Shendu, but now almost all of those gambling houses in Shendu have gone bankrupt overnight."
"All bankrupt, just your 500,000 taels of silver?"
Qiao shook his head and said, "Just our family's silver is definitely not enough, isn't there still the Qin family, the Cheng family and the Niu family?" These are all big money owners, especially the Niu family, who has staked the entire family ......"
"Niu Yaozu is his family?"
"That's right! Niu Yaozu's wife, anyway, Niu Yaozu fought hard with the Tatars with his uncle, and if Niu Yaozu died, she didn't want to live, so she staked all the fields and houses, totaling more than one million taels of silver. β
"So rich? I really didn't see it! β
"The richest is not the Niu family, but the Cheng family. The grandfather of the Cheng family bet a total of two million taels on his uncle this time, and the rest had some military attachΓ©s who were good friends with the Cheng family, anyway, it was the silver that everyone added up, and they lost all the gambling houses in the entire Shendu at once. These slaves and maids, their sisters, and the eldest lady, and the grandfather of the Cheng family, they just went everywhere to collect the accounts.
Looking at their bitter faces as if the whole family was dead, unwilling and afraid not to give the silver, uncle, you don't know how happy the slave maid was at that time. β
"Those guys are here to see the wind and steer the rudder, and this time they have earned so much money on me and have not shown it to you?"
Qiao said: "Why not, but there are good things, they are all let our family pick first, and they will pick the rest before they divide them." β
"So you sent your sister away?" Wu Zheng said.
Qiao said: "Then what else, after all, people also bet on their own money." Besides, if my sister didn't go with them to collect our debts, I wouldn't be able to recover these debts just by my sister and eldest lady in this divine capital. β
"That's right, but when I thought that Cheng Jin's guy stayed at home and didn't do anything, he won 20,000 taels of silver all of a sudden, and my uncle's heart was still a little uncomfortable. Okay, let's put down the jewelry first, let's go over and see your sister and wife together. β
Wu Zheng got up to say goodbye to his grandmother and aunt, and when he returned to the front yard, Seinfeld was directing several brothers from the village to carry boxes with torches, and Yin Cao was sitting by the brazier on the side as if he was knocking melon seeds.
When you look closer, it's really knocking melon seeds, but it's not sunflower seeds, it looks a bit like watermelon seeds.
"Huh! Xianggong, you're back! Yin Cao hurriedly collected the melon seeds, and the whole person ran over like a gust of wind, and was about to hug Wu Zheng but stopped, but there was no way, because at this moment, Seinfel, who was busy carrying silver, suddenly coughed.
That Nizi didn't learn anything else, but grandma's love of coughing twice when she had nothing to do was fully learned.
"Xianggong, are you finally willing to come back?"
Wu Zheng smiled slightly: "What's wrong?" I've been away from home this month, and I see you're taking care of your home pretty well! β
"It's good, but don't you think this family is a little too much? I don't have a place to put my money now. Didn't you promise me to buy a house? What about the house? β
"What else should I do? So that's what you're for? Rest assured that the house has already been found, and it is still a mansion covering an area of 100 acres. β
"A hundred-acre mansion? Don't be with me in Luoshui Town. β
Wu Zheng shook his head: "Luoshui Town? What you said reminded me that we can also buy another house in Luoshui Town, preferably a Zhuangzi, which is close to Zuo Xiaowei's camp, and I don't need to live in a camp. But this house is not in Luoshui Town! It's a pity. β
"Where is that not in Luoshui Town?"
Wu Zheng took out the holy decree-like title deed given by the emperor and slapped it on Seinfeld's hand, and said with a smile: "If you are not in Luoshui Town, you are naturally in the Shendu, and it is also the best Chengfu Fang." β
"Chengfufang? How much silver does it cost, what are you giving me a holy decree for? Has Your Majesty promoted you again? β
Wu Zheng smiled: "What kind of holy decree, you open it and take a good look, it is obviously a land deed." β
"Title Deed!" Seinfeld hurriedly opened the scroll and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Guogong Mansion? His Majesty gave us the Deng family's Guogong Mansion? β
"That's right! Well, you should be satisfied now! β
Seinfeld nodded: "I heard that it is the best house in the Shendu except for the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, let's take a look." β
"Now?" Wu Zheng looked at Man Xingdou and said, "Can't we go tomorrow?" β
"Fei'er can't wait! Xianggong, you will accompany Fei'er to see if it is okay, just take a look! Seinfeld took Wu Zheng's hand and said arrogantly.
"I really can't take you, so what should I do with all this silver?"
Seinfeld said, "Isn't there still Sister Yin Cao?" Just tell her to look at it. β
Yin Cao said: "No, I also want to accompany Xianggong." β
"What are you going to do, stay at home honestly and count the money."
"Xianggong!"
Wu Zheng is really a head and two big, and the virgins like Bian Yincao have begun to spoil themselves, if she is as cute as Qiao or Xiang'er, the key is that this woman has a shrewd and capable face and a strong female temperament, who can bear this coquettishness.
"Okay, okay, all go."
Seinfeld said, "The prime minister is gone, so what should I do with this silver?" β
"Can this silver still fly after all this money has entered the house?"
The three of them went out and the carriage hadn't gone far before Qiao and Xiang'er came behind.
"Auntie and sister, wait for us ......"
"Uncle, when did you come back, did you eat? Xiang'er is your uncle, your favorite food is called flower chicken. β
The oily smell is fragrant, but Wu Zheng has no taste, and it is cheaper to get the two mothers-in-law who have collected a debt and haven't even drunk saliva.
The carriage came out of the moral workshop and crossed the new middle bridge is the Chengfu Fang, and the gods did not have a curfew, so the door of the black square was not closed.
Wu Zheng didn't have to inquire when he came to talk to him, because during the month that Wu Zheng was in the camp in Kunshan, Seinfeld was not idle, so he asked around about the house when he had nothing to do, and planned to take a good look at Wu Zheng as soon as he came back and asked him to sell.
So she doesn't know that this Deng family's Guogong Mansion is such a famous house? Even if he urged the coachman to take the carriage straight to the mansion of the country. Of course, now this house is no longer called Guogong Mansion, but Wu Mansion.
The cyan courtyard wall of the Wu Mansion almost occupies half of the street, and the lights on the entire street are lit along the way, and it will be dark when you arrive at this house, because there is no one at home now! But such a big mansion is a building, a water pavilion and a garden, and the two of them can't see it even if they are burning a fire inside!
But fortunately, everyone in the Wu family has the habit of hanging lanterns in front of the door, and since Shen Sandao and they came in advance, the six big lanterns in front of the gate of this grand mansion also called him Erru.
"What people!"
"Who are you, what are you doing standing in front of my house?" Seinfeld was the first to jump out of the driveway.
The two men guarding the door, you look at me, I look at you, and then the two looked at Seinfeld with a puzzled face, only to hear the fangding say with a puzzled face: "This is your house?" Which lady from the family, she shouldn't want to go crazy yet! This is the Guogong Mansion given by His Majesty Taizong, and you are actually your family, aren't you afraid of lawsuits? Forget it, don't worry about your lady, go back to your father-in-law! If you are here again, you are welcome. β
"Dogs look good." Seinfeld took out the deed and said, "I can see clearly that this is our family's deed, do you dare that this is not my family?" β
Looking at the deed of the holy decree, the two were even more confused.
"There's a new owner in this house?"
"I don't know! Who will sell the house built by His Majesty Taizong's order? β
Seinfeld said, "Hey, hey, what are you muttering there?" Why don't you open the door and let us in? β
"This ...... Lady, our brothers can't be the master. After finishing the fang, he glanced at his companion and said, "Go and invite Li Zheng to see if the deed in her hand is true or false." β
Li Zheng of Chengfu Fang was an old man, holding the deed in both hands and looking at it halfway, and then looked at Wu Zheng and his group of five people by the light, and then looked at Wu Zheng and said, "Dare to ask what this official is called?" β
But I heard Qiao say angrily: "My aunt is General Zuo Xiaowei, haven't you heard it a long time ago?" Why do you still ask? β
"Wu Hou!"
Wu Zheng smiled: "Don't be surprised, the old man, this house was given to Wu by His Majesty, you always look at this title deed, if it is correct, we will go in to see the house." β
Li Zheng hurriedly put away the deed, put his hands in Wu Zheng's hand and said: "Since it is Wu Hou, there must be no mistake, Wu Hou raised his eyebrows for the people of my Great Zhou, and His Majesty should give this set of mansions." β
"The old man is polite." After finishing it, Wu Zheng looked at the two fangding and asked, "You two have been staying here all along?" β
The two of them were also excited at this time, because they saw Wu Hou in the cross, the Wu Hou who didn't leave a piece of armor to kill the Tatar wolf in Yingmen, but they didn't expect him to be so young.
The two of them nodded hurriedly, and then Wu Zheng was a little puzzled, and then said: "Then you two can see that other people have been here today?" 166 Reading Network
