205. There are still 30,000 taels left
When Nangong Jin told Du Ling that he was going to send him back to Zhuangjiabao, Du Ling was stunned, stared at Nangong Jin and muttered: "My father doesn't want me, my son doesn't want me, and you don't want me, do you?" The circles under his eyes were red, "If you don't want me, you will send me back to Zhuangjiabao, but I am not surnamed Zhuang!" ā
"No, Koryo ......." Nangong Jin didn't know where to say something wrong, but she still wanted to explain.
"This is the Central Plains, I know the way, you don't have to send me, I'll go by myself." Du Ling sadly turned around and led the horse, wiped his tears, but the tears couldn't be stopped, and he simply squatted on the side of the road and cried after walking a few steps.
This caught Nangong Jin a little off guard, Fu Qingshuang shook his head on the side, and whispered to Nangong Jin: "People are out of love, can you consider his mood when you speak?" ā
Nangong Jin didn't look at her, walked to Du Ling's side, and didn't know how to comfort her for a long time.
I don't know if it's because he hasn't moved for a long time, Du Ling is even more sad, "When I was a child, I cried, and my brother and sister-in-law would hug and comfort me. When Master was there, he would hug me when I was unhappy and never leave me alone. Later, later, when Master passed away, I was alone, alone in the Tai Hospital, no one liked me, no one talked to me, I had to talk to myself, and even when I was crying, no one hugged me. IāI miss Master very much....... Okay, good, she, she didn't say goodbye...... woo woo ....... ā
Nangong Jin also squatted down and patted Du Ling, who had been covering her head and crying, "She said, she said, I am grateful that you have taught her so much, she said, well, I hope to have the opportunity to ...... in the future, um, she said that she will remember you." ā
Du Ling raised his head and looked at Nangong Jin with a pair of red eyes, "Did she really say that?" ā
Nangong Jin nodded.
Du Ling shook his head, "Hao'er wouldn't say that." ā
"Xiaoling, I told you that day. You're bound to have a more favorite girl ...... in the future. ā
Du Ling kept shaking his head, "I like her, I like Hao'er." You, why did you remind me so late, earlier, if earlier, I could have told her that I liked her. Now, she, she doesn't even know I like her. ā
"Then you tell her ...... in your heart."
"I said it, I said it, and I've been saying it every day for the past few days. I'm sad, Jin, I miss her. Du Ling shed tears, "I don't go back to Zhuangjiabao, I've lived there." ā
Nangong Jin looked back at Fu Qingshuang not far away, she had a look of wanting to laugh but helpless, "Okay, then let's go around." I went to Jingzhou today, by the way, you said last time that you wanted to heal my stepfather's leg. ā
"Yes, yes, we will go to Jingzhou, and we will show your stepfather's legs." As he spoke, he stood up and wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeve.
Nangong Jin took the water bladder and wet the handkerchief, handed it over, "Wipe your face." ā
Du Ling took it, wiped his face, and looked at Nangong Jin pitifully, "I'm really sad." Can you hug me? ā
Nangong Jin looked around, and saw that there were not many people on the road, except for Fu Qingshuang, who had been watching the play, no one paid attention to them, and hugged Du Ling in his heart, and immediately let go and said, "Then we are leaving." ā
Du Ling nodded, and Nangong Jin walked in front of Fu Qingshuang, "Let's go to Jingzhou, together?" ā
Fu Qingshuang shook his head, "The injury is almost healed, I still have something." ā
"Well, I still owe you silver."
Fu Qingshuang laughed, "Finally, you remember, don't be a fool." I don't have as much money as you. ā
"How? Why don't you go to Jingzhou with us first? Or, you name a place, and I'll have someone bring it? ā
Fu Qingshuang got on the horse and said with a smile: "I will inform you." With that, the horse left.
Nangong Jin suddenly remembered something, and shouted behind her: "Don't go to Pingyang!" ā
Fu Qingshuang only left a string of hearty laughter, and disappeared.
Nangong Jin sent the family of Zhuangjiabao and set off with Du Ling.
**********
When he arrived in Jingzhou the next morning, Du Ling hurriedly wanted to show Zhao Fengming's legs. Zhao Fengming has always insisted on the training requested by Du Ling, and Du Ling is very happy and feels that he can move on to the next stage of treatment.
Taking advantage of Du Ling's desire to heal, Zhao Fengming took out the main hall order and returned it to Nangong Jin, and took him to a small warehouse, which was a half-room dowry prepared for him. Nangong Jin was shocked, neither did he accept it, nor did he accept it.
Seeing Nangong Jin's embarrassed face, Zhao Fengming was mistaken, and said a little unhappily: "What? You call me my father-in-law, and my father-in-law prepares these things for you, don't you? ā
"No, father-in-law......." Nangong Jin didn't know what to say.
"Your father and mother came to Jingzhou a year ago. They also asked me about you, I think in addition to reputation, Miss Yao is not bad, although reputation is very important to women, but we are not royal nobles after all, especially the things from the South China Sea, it may not be credible. ā
Nangong Jin felt that Zhao Fengming had something to say, and asked with a smile: "What do you mean?" ā
Zhao Fengming replied disdainfully, "No one is a good person." ā
Nangong Jin thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't understand. Zhao Fengming laughed, "You don't accept these, isn't it because your daughter-in-law has a bad reputation?" ā
"I didn't think about that. Besides, if Uncle Cheng hadn't talked about it last time, I wouldn't have known. Although Nangong Jin answered, he still looked like an inquiry.
Zhao Fengming pointed to the things that were piled up in half a room, "These, your family also needs to prepare." However, more, it means that there is nothing wrong with your family looking at a new daughter-in-law. ā
Nangong Jin blushed and nodded, "I understand this." After thinking about it, he still said, "I want to ask her if she wants to." ā
This made Zhao Fengming stunned, "Ask Miss Yao?" Why? ā
Nangong Jin flattened her mouth and whispered, "What if she doesn't want to?" ā
Zhao Fengming looked at Nangong Jin very strangely, "With your family background, why is she unwilling?" Besides, last ......, you were bored with her? ā
Nangong Jin smiled embarrassedly, "Last time, it was just, well, misunderstanding." I think she's happy ......, well, that's all. ā
"Do you still care about those rumors?" Zhao Fengming shook his head with a smile, "That's why I asked you not to believe all the statements in the South China Sea." The couple in the South China Sea is not what you think. However, I haven't seen them in years, and it's hearsay, so I can't be sure. But take the rumors of Master Xu and Miss Yao as an example, how can it be that Miss Yao is not right? This kind of thing is a slap in the face that doesn't make a sound. Seeing that Nangong Jin seemed to be pondering, he said with a smile: "If you want to go to the South China Sea, maybe you can see something." ā
Zhao Fengming patted him, "Okay." While the head hall master is here, there are many things to discuss, so why don't I call everyone here. Oh, Songran is also there, you haven't been to Fushun yet, have you? ā
"It can't be a matter of 100,000 taels of salt leading to silver, right?" Nangong Jin's expression was tangled.
"I'm not in a hurry for anything else, I really have to find a way to do this. Now the three halls can take out 20,000 or 30,000 taels. Even if the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce can make up for it, it will only be 50,000 taels at most, which is still half of it. Zhao Fengming looked at Nangong Jin, "The last time you wrote a letter, you said that you were selling some properties, and we also summed it up, and what we could sell added up to only 20,000 taels." A total of 70,000 taels, which is already the limit. ā
Nangong Jin asked cautiously: "Father-in-law, you just said that my mother was in Jingzhou years ago?" ā
Zhao Fengming smiled and nodded, "Your father didn't tell you?" You know better than I did about your family last year. ā
Nangong Jin didn't know what to say, felt a little irritable, stood up and paced back and forth. "Otherwise, I'll run away now."
"That's an idea, too." Zhao Fengming nodded thoughtfully, "However, Hall Master Li has really accepted a few female disciples here, but her female martial arts hall is still struggling. I think they have a good idea, but unfortunately it feels like something is missing. Song Ran and Hall Master Qin seemed to be in some obstacles here, ....... ā
"Obstruction? What about Qin Mancang? ā
"Go back. said that he didn't want to stay in Jingzhou to hinder his children and grandchildren. ā
Nangong Jin shook his head, "This old fox ......." ā
Zhao Fengming also smiled and nodded, "Your father arranged for Song Ran to use his own business to cooperate with the Iron Knife Hall." Song Ran is an upright person, but here is the Qin Hall Master, relatively speaking, the idea is more difficult to figure out. ā
"Qin Mancang is not here, Qin Yongsen's temperament is a little soft, and Qin Ye is ......." Nangong Jin shook her head, "The ambition is not small. Relaxing, it must be unaccustomed to it. ā
"yes." Zhao Fengming smiled, "I let Songran live here, but he won't." I don't know if I think it's too troublesome, or if I see that I have intentions for him, hahaha......, always keep your distance, this kid is very principled. ā
"He can't see his father's thoughts, but this guy sometimes has a tendon."
"So, look, can you say a few nice words for my family Rong Rong in front of him?"
Nangong Jin was helpless, "If I hadn't had such a little kinship with him, he would have turned his face with me a long time ago." ā
"Hahaha...... you too, don't play cards according to common sense." Zhao Fengming laughed. "Still, I'm going to help him anyway. These days, he can't get along with Hall Master Qin anyway, so I simply asked Uncle Cheng to take him to see our property in Qifengzhuang. He also helped to get the silver. ā
"By the way, Uncle Wu......." Nangong Jin remembered Wu Xin, who said that he was going to Nanyang.
"Hahaha, I won't ask you. He came back for the New Year this year, and left after the New Year. Just say, what you say is completely doable. ā
Nangong Jin finally laughed, "Haha, okay, I'll go for a trip." ā
"You're supposed to go. However, let's settle 30,000 taels of silver first. ā
Nangong Jin sighed, "If you can't grab it, then the only thing that can get the fastest money and the lowest cost is gambling." ā
"Don't. Jingzhou has not been peaceful in recent years, there are few outsiders who come and locals go out, and the casino business is very average. Now, ten taels of silver can enter the private room, where does the thirty thousand taels come from? ā
Nangong Jin looked at Zhao Fengming in surprise, "Wow, it turns out that my father-in-law has also thought about it." ā
Zhao Fengming glanced at him, "Don't think about winning from a foreign casino." The casino that can lose 30,000 taels will not be in a small place, you think about your father's face. In addition, don't think about it, a family runs a lot, first, we don't have so much time, and second, the amount is too big, tired to half death, and it may not be enough. ā
"What then?" Nangong Jin hung her head, a little depressed, "Jingzhou is not only our three halls, all of them are in ruins, and the shortage of 30,000 taels is afraid that the entire Jingzhou will not be able to take it out." Or, tell Jingzhou Mansion that this time it will be 70,000, and there will be 30,000 for him to figure out his own way. Or, go to the ...... field. ā
"It's because I can't take it all that I want to take it even more. I believe that Jingzhou will recover in one or two years, and by then, it will not be one or two companies that can produce 100,000 taels. So, while no one is fighting with us now, we have to occupy this pit no matter what. If we give away 30,000, we will never get it back. Zhao Fengming shook his head.
"That's the only way to do it from out of town." Nangong Jin sat at the table and took a sip of water, completely without an idea.
"Also, the last time you said that you wanted the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce to become a hall in Jingzhou, this year is a good time, because everyone has no money."
"For this matter, I want to go to Quanzhou first and then decide." Nangong Jin frowned, bit her fingers, and read the words, "Thirty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels......" suddenly asked: "Father-in-law, what do you say is the purpose of the woman who went to the women's martial arts hall to learn art?" If it weren't for elementary school, it wouldn't have made much sense. ā
Zhao Fengming thought for a while, "Do you want to say, our Jingzhou has always been a battleground for soldiers, and it is also a thoroughfare of trade routes. Women are not afraid to show their heads, so if they know how to punch and kick, they can protect themselves. In addition, women like to be quiet, often frail, and practice martial arts for nothing else, at least to strengthen the body. However, the problem now also lies in the woman's joy and quietness, and she doesn't really learn much. I asked Rong Rong to follow suit. ā
Nangong Jin thought for a while, and then slowly groaned: "In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun clan, and a sword weapon moved in all directions. ā
"Watch Gongsun Auntie dance sword and weapon line. However, Aunt Gongsun is a Maiko. Besides, this sword dance has long been lost, even if the Sword Hall is long in sword, the two are not the same thing. ā
"We will give thirty thousand taels of silver, and if one man gives one tael, it will be thirty thousand. Where can we find 30,000 people, each of whom will give us a tael of silver, and we don't have to pay it back? "Nangong Jin seems to be talking about a dream.
"There aren't so many people in Jingzhou who can give silver."
"yes. If a man gives two taels of silver, it is fifteen thousand. Nangong Jin was still muttering to herself.
Zhao Fengming laughed, "Ah Jin, don't think stupid. ā
