Chapter 15: Paying Back

Lu Yuan also glanced at Zhang Heng, to be honest, he really didn't take Zhang Heng in his eyes.

As a traverser, Lu Yuan knew that in this chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even the emperor had to hang himself in the coal mountain, and the tragic death of the king Hou Xungui was too numerous to mention, not to mention Zhang Heng, an ordinary gentleman in Linqing City.

Of course.

Not to mention Dou Ding, who is willing to be a slave of a wealthy family.

When the Linqing Massacre in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen arrived, these people would all turn into dead souls.

Lu Yuan looked at Zhang Heng and the others with a kind of pity.

And Zhang Heng hates Lu Yuan's contempt and disdain looking at him now, in his memory, Lu Yuan should be like before, only inferior and afraid when looking at himself.

At this time.

Zhang Heng's mother, Zhang Wang, stepped down from the carriage, raised her eyebrows, looked at Lu Yuan with disdain, and said, "Lu Yuan, go and call your mother out, I want to see her!" ”

"Wait a minute."

Lu Yuan replied, smiled slightly, and then walked back to the house with Erniu.

It didn't take long.

Erniu walked out and said to Zhang Wang and Zhang Heng, "The master mother and the young master invite you in." ”

Zhang Heng walked in with a fan, and when he saw Erniu standing by the door, he directly reached out and touched Erniu's snow-white chin.

The second girl avoided the side.

Dou Ding, who came with him, also smiled obscenely at the second girl, and one hand was still groping in the waistband of his trousers.

At the same time, this Dou Ding also said to Zhang Heng: "Childe, I will get the silver later, how about the little one to help the son get her?" ”

Zhang Heng smiled: "If you can get it, I will reward you with all the money you want." ”

When Dou Ding heard Zhang Heng say this, he was naturally more willing, and he couldn't wait to send the second girl to Zhang Heng's bed as soon as possible.

Lu Yuan was already in the main hall of the Lu family at this time, and stood next to the main seat where his mother was sitting.

After Zhang Wang walked in, he sat directly in the first place in the guest seat, and did not greet his mother, but only took out an IOU: "A total of one hundred and eight taels of silver with interest, your Lu family will return this silver today." ”

Zhang Heng couldn't help but laugh smugly.

And Lu Kangshi said with some embarrassment: "Sister, we are also relatives and friends with each other, can we be tolerant for a while, and when my family Lu Yuan and Tang Ying get married, we will definitely pay back the money we owe." ”

Seeing that Lu Kang begged him to be tolerant for a while, Zhang Wang's heart became even more proud, and he thought that he could really prevent the marriage between Lu Yuan and Tang Ying, so he said:

"No! I've been tolerating you for so long! It is precisely because everyone knows each other that I will come to the door today to ask in person, if you don't pay it back, I can only have people forcibly search! ”

Zhang Heng also became even more proud: "Mother is right, this matter is not negotiable!" Dou Ding, call them all in! ”

Zhang Heng shouted at Dou Ding as he spoke.

"Okay, young master!"

Dou Ding saw Lu Kang's face embarrassed, and he also became happy, and he couldn't wait to bring a group of people in and smash the Lu family to pieces, so that he could get out of the evil anger that Lu Yuan had just kicked him in.

It didn't take long.

The slaves of Zhang's mansion who came with Zhang's mother and son surrounded the hall of the Lu family.

Seeing this, Lu Kangshi had to sigh: "Okay, Lu Yuan, you go and get a sum of silver to pay off the Zhang family's debt." ”

Lu Kang's family now knows that there are two thousand taels of silver at home, and she just said that she just hoped that the Zhang family could have some grace, so that her Lu family would not have to repay the debt when buying the dowry.

But this is not to say that the Lu family really can't afford to pay back the silver.

Therefore, Lu Kang's family saw that Zhang Wang's family was so anxious to ask for it, and even did not hesitate to directly copy his own home, so he simply agreed.

"Yes, Mother!"

Lu Yuan replied and glanced at Zhang Wang's family: "Actually, you also came here today, and I was also planning to pay back the debt, and it was even wrapped up a long time ago, you wait!" ”

It didn't take long.

Lu Yuan took out a bag of silver and put it on the table in the center of the hall.

After Zhang Yuan opened this bag of silver, he said to Zhang Wang's family: "This is one hundred and eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars of silver, you can find someone to weigh it now!" ”

Zhang Wang's family was a little unnatural, she didn't expect Zhang Yuan to be really ready to return her Zhang family's silver, and couldn't help but think, isn't this Lu Yuan going to buy a dowry to marry Tang Ying?

Zhang Heng also took the fan in surprise, he thought that Lu Yuan would repay the debt, but he didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so simple.

But Zhang Heng didn't ask, he wished that Lu Yuan knew each other like this, so he hurriedly instructed Dou Ding to weigh the silver, and asked with a smile: "Lu Yuan, you have returned our family's silver, do you still have money to buy a dowry?" ”

Zhang Wang's also smiled slightly, there was a smug look between her eyebrows, she also wanted to know what else the Lu family could do, although the Lu family's weaving workshop had recently improved, but she didn't believe that the Lu family could earn hundreds of taels of silver in a short period of time.

The profit of more than 100 taels should already be the limit, and I am even afraid that I will lose the last bit of money.

Lu Yuan replied coldly: "Don't worry about it!" ”

"Dead duck has a hard mouth!"

Zhang Heng said.

At this time, Uncle Fei came over and saw a group of Zhangfu Hao slaves standing outside the door, and shouted: "What are you doing!" Don't think that if the master of the Lu family is gone, the Lu family can be bullied! ”

The slaves of Zhang Mansion were somewhat shocked by Uncle Fei's formation, and unconsciously let go of the way.

Lu Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Fei come in, it's okay, they are here to ask for debts, and I am preparing to return the silver to them here." ”

Uncle Fei walked in: "Madam, brother, are you all right?" ”

"It's okay," Lu Kangshi said with a smile.

Lu Yuan asked directly: "Uncle Fei, why are you here?" ”

"Looking for the young master to pick up the silver for the dowry, I totaled it, and estimated that it would cost about two hundred taels of silver."

Uncle Fei said.

Here, Zhang Wang's laughed, thinking to himself about the dowry of two hundred taels of silver, your Lu family seems to be really generous, but now you can get two hundred taels of silver?

"Buy a dowry, what else do you buy, your son-in-law has used all the silver to pay off the debt, where is the silver to buy a dowry, hahaha!"

Zhang Hengda laughed.

"Erniu, go get it with me, Uncle Fei, you watch them weigh silver here."

Lu Yuan said and took the second girl into the inner room.

Uncle Fei glanced at Erniu, and because of this, he noticed Dou Ding, who had been looking at Erniu, and his face was cold for a while, and he scolded in his heart: "Traitor!" ”

It didn't take long.

Lu Yuan and Erniu each took out a hundred taels of silver and put them on the table, and Lu Yuan said to Uncle Fei: "This is two hundred taels of silver, Uncle Fei, you take it and pay it first." ”

Uncle Fei opened it and looked at it, and saw that it was all ten taels of horseshoe silver, so he briefly counted it and found that it was indeed twenty, and then nodded.

This way.

Zhang Wang's and Zhang Heng's eyes widened, and their faces were a little unbearable: "What's going on, why did the Lu family take out another two hundred taels of silver!" ”
