The third old lady was stunned, and the Qi family brothers also glanced at each other, Qi Ning didn't wait for a few people to speak, he already looked at the Qi family brothers with a smile, and said, "The fifth uncle and the sixth uncle were able to come forward this time, which actually moved me very much." The two of them are right, fighting tiger brothers, fathers and sons, no matter what festivals were in the past, if something really happens, we are connected by blood, and you will not ignore it. ”

The two brothers laughed dryly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"The face of the Marquis of Jinyi is the face of the entire Qi family." Qi Ning said with a smile: "This family affair is a marriage gift from the emperor, if it is not done decently, even the emperor will be dissatisfied." The old lady said that it would cost at least 10,000 taels of silver, which I think is reasonable. At present, the treasury can barely come up with 5,000 taels of silver, we have to do family affairs, let alone prepare 15,000 taels of silver, old lady, two uncles, you see ......! ”

The third old lady coughed twice, and went to get the teacup at hand, but the tea hadn't come up yet, and the Qi brothers also looked at each other, smiling, and didn't speak.

"Ten thousand taels of silver is not a lot of money for the old lady and the two uncles." Qi Ning said with a smile: "Actually, I also know in my heart that the two uncles value love and righteousness, this time I want to get married, the two of them will always prepare generous gifts, a few are not outsiders, there are difficulties in the Hou Mansion, and they will not hide it from a few people, so I will be straightforward, the two uncles don't know how much gift money they can send?" ”

The expressions of several people were even more exciting, and they all thought to themselves how the silver was mentioned as soon as this ass sat down, and they had never seen such a person who directly asked for gift money.

Qi Bai hesitated, and when he saw that the third old lady didn't speak, he could only say, "Master Hou, this ..... If this is really short of silver, it will not be difficult for me and your sixth uncle to borrow some everywhere. He used his arm to pestle the sixth master Qi Song: "Your sixth master knows a lot of money in the capital, and he borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is also ..... It's not that hard. ”

Qi Song was a little unhappy when he saw Qi Bai pushing the matter here, but it was not good to have a seizure in front of him, so he smiled at Qi Ning dryly: "If Master Hou really needs it, I will ..... I'm also able to come forward. ”

"Borrow money?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "Two uncles, this joke is too big. Our Qi family finally did a big thing, the family is powerful, and now there is a shortage of 10,000 taels of silver, but we have to borrow it from the bank. He raised his hand and pointed at the third old lady and said, "The old lady just said that decency is a big matter, and we must not be negligent, and we must not forget the teachings." ”

The Qi family brothers frowned slightly, and Qi Ning sighed: "The old lady and the two uncles came to help, but now there are indeed difficulties, and they can't come up with a way." At this time, the tea finally came up, and after the tea fell, Qi Ning picked up the teacup and blew the tea foam, and said leisurely: "Actually, I heard that the two uncles have run a lot of businesses in Beijing, and there are not a few silk houses, restaurants, and pawnshops, and they have accumulated a lot of silver over the years. ”

The third old lady leaned back in his chair and picked up the teacup, but he didn't hear it.

"Also, the Qi family is a big family, and there are not a few people from the Qi family who came to Beijing to beg for a living because of the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion." Qi Ning took a sip of tea and put down the teacup: "Although the Jinyi Hou Mansion may not really help much over the years, everyone is also wearing the sign of the Hou Mansion's relatives outside, and this brand is also worth a lot of money, otherwise your business will not be so good." As far as I know, there are no less than twenty or thirty families living in the capital from top to bottom of the Qi clan, and each family has an industry under its name, in fact, one family took out a few hundred taels of silver, and the difficulties of the Hou Mansion were overcome. ”

The third old lady finally put down the teacup and said, "Do you want the clan to make up the money?" ”

"It's better to make money in the clan than to go to the bank to borrow debts." Qi Ning said with a smile: "And everyone in the Qi clan has a piece of silver, and when outsiders see it, not only will they not feel that the Jinyi Hou Mansion is poor, but they will feel that the Qi clan is working together, and if anyone dares to fight the idea of the Qi clan in the future, then it will be weighed." He smiled and said, "Old lady, I don't know if what I said makes sense?" ”

Qi Ning looked harmless to humans and animals on his face, but he kept sneering in his heart.

When the Hou Mansion was in trouble, they not only jumped up and down to suck the blood of the Hou Mansion, but even many people wanted to put aside the relationship with the Hou Mansion.

Qi Ning secretly wondered if the Hou Mansion would support you in the future, and there was no need to think about it for the time being, but since you want to be attached to it again, you will pay the silver first, there is no cheap thing in this world to come and leave as you want, and you will not have any psychological burden at all if you scrape some silver from the hands of this group of people who tend to be inflammatory.

The third old lady coughed twice before saying, "What do you two mean?" "Naturally, I asked the Qi brothers on the side.

The third old lady is naturally not a fool, what Qi Ning thinks in his heart, he naturally understands, knowing that if this silver is not taken out, it is impossible to have a relationship with the Jinyi Marquis Mansion in the future, Qi Ning, this kid dares to act boldly, and he is also very decisive in doing things, since he dared to sever relations with the Qi clan at the beginning, he naturally does not care about whether to ease the conflict with the Qi clan today.

Qi Song hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Master Hou, I won't say anything else, I will take out a thousand taels of silver on this side, and your fifth uncle will not have a penny of silver less than me, let's get together two thousand taels of silver, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Two thousand taels of silver?" Qi Ning said thoughtfully: "What if there are still eight thousand taels?" ”

Qi Bai immediately said: "Master Hou, if you can believe it, our brothers will go to other people and make it clear to them one by one, this Hou Mansion wedding is a major event for my Qi family, and it is easy to say that if you don't pull out a dime, you will not be a member of our Qi clan from now on." ”

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Qi Ning clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, the two uncles said this, that is, it solved a major matter in my heart, so I can rest assured." The two uncles hurry up, within two days, they must send 10,000 taels of silver, of course, if someone is willing to give more silver, that is his intention, we will not refuse, you will make a list of gifts at that time, who will pay the least, I will know at a glance, who will give the most, I can also keep it in mind. ”

The Qi family brothers reluctantly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, this matter ..... Just leave this to us. ”

Qi Ning secretly thought that since you took the initiative to ask for the restoration of relations, I don't have to stop it, but if you want to attach to the Jinyi Marquis Mansion in the future, then pay the money honestly, and I have already made up my mind, anyway, every once in the future, I will find a reason to let the Qi clan spread the money over every once and for all, if the gang thinks that this family affair can be paid once and for all, it will be really whimsical.

Qi Ning had never thought of relying on the Qi clan, if someone was unwilling to give money and voluntarily did not get along with the old man of the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, Qi Ning naturally would not care.

"Old lady, as for how to discuss with the Shenhou Ximen family, I am young and don't understand the rules, so these things will cost you to be old." Qi Ning got up and shouted outward, "Manager Han! ”

Manager Han bowed in, and Qi Ning ordered: "Prepare a meal at noon, and invite the old lady and the two uncles to dine here." Just now, the two uncles have promised to gather 10,000 taels of silver within two days, and when the silver is delivered, it will be earmarked, and all of it will be used for marriage, and it shall not be used for any other purpose. ”

Manager Han didn't know what was going on, and thought that the third room of the Qi family took the initiative to please Qi Ning, so he smiled and said: "This is thanks to the old lady and the fifth master and the sixth master, the Hou Mansion is short of silver, and the fifth master and the sixth master sent silver, so it solves the urgent need." ”

"The third old lady will help the Hou Mansion and the Shenhou to discuss the wedding process." Qi Ning smiled: "I am very relieved to leave this matter to the third old lady." He said to the third old lady: "The old lady will eat here at noon, and I still have some official business to deal with here, so I can't accompany me at noon." ”

The third old lady was dissatisfied, secretly thinking that although you inherited the title, now the emperor has only sent an errand to lead the Black Scale Battalion, and there are no other official positions in the court, and I don't see you often go to the Black Scale Camp.

He was also interested, got up and said, "We won't eat here." You have official business, and you have a good life to deal with official business. I'll prepare here, and in the next two days, I'll go to Shenhou Ximen's house in person to discuss the specific matters to be done. Although he came over with a thick old face today for the future of Sanfang, he was very disgusted with Qi Ning in his heart, so he didn't say much, turned around and left.

The brothers of the Qi family hurriedly said goodbye to Qi Ning, and then helped the three old ladies out of the house left and right, until the father and son squeezed into a carriage when they went out, Qi Bai said with an annoyed face: "This is good, I ran over today, I didn't catch a meal, and I pasted a large sum of silver, that little bastard, he was really shameless, and he stretched out his hand to ask for silver." He said that there was no silver in the Hou Mansion, and the ghost believed it, and heard that he had made a bet with many officials, and just this time, there was a lot of silver in the money bag. ”

Qi Song glanced at him, and said angrily: "It's not that you said that this kid wants to soar, we must follow him in the future, otherwise why come here to be angry." ”

"I'm not wrong." The carriage walked around, the car was moving, Qi Bai said: "This kid and Ximen Wuxian got married, and in the future, there will be Ximen Wuji, who do you think will dare to move?" If we ease relations with the Hou Mansion, we will still be a clan relative, and others will not dare to provoke us. ”

"Now that you know this, you don't have to talk nonsense." Qi Song said angrily: "It's just a thousand taels of silver, and it will come out by gritting your teeth." Looking at the third old lady, seeing that he squinted his eyes without saying a word, he asked, "Dad, do you think this kid will really be able to soar in the future?" ”

The third old lady was expressionless, just glanced at him coldly, leaned in the carriage, and closed his eyes.
