Text Chapter 12: Strong women are going bankrupt
The first thing Yang Xuening saw when she woke up was Zhou Cong - she took "Zhou Cong's groom and Ma Liu" as Zhou Cong: "Zhou Cong, go away!" Don't touch me! ”
Zhou Cong had to raise his hands high: "Miss Yang, I'm Mafu Ma Liu." ”
Those guys also looked around Yang Xuening, and when they saw the eldest lady waking up, they were very happy, and they went to thank Lang Zhong. Zhou Cong was left alone, and when he saw that she was fine, he turned around and walked outside.
"Ma Gongzi, please stay."
"What's the matter with Miss Yang?"
"Ma Gongzi's waist ......" thought to himself, this Ma Liu is not a lie, right? But don't mess with people.
"It's okay, a minor injury. It's not worth the miss's attention. ”
"After all, it's not a slave's family, and I've made amends to Ma Gongzi here." He saluted and took out another small bag. "These are for Ma Gongzi ......"
"In this way, Ma Zhou is welcome." Zhou Cong's eyes lit up when he saw Furoshi, and he grabbed Furoshipi without waiting for others to finish speaking, and ran away without looking back.
When I got out of the medical hall, I opened the furoshiki, and there were ten taels of silver inside. So cut out half and wrap it up. Waiting for the door San'er to come out, he threw half of the silver to the door San'er, who was still lying on the stretcher: "San'er, this is for you, go home and open it again." I'll take a leave of absence for you in the county hall. ”
I also ran away without looking back. After running for a while, he saw an ox cart in front of him, and gave the ox coachman a few copper coins: "Go to the cheap shop in the west of the city." ”
Then he lay in the ox cart, crossed Erlang's legs and hummed the tune of eighteen x to close his eyes and recuperate.
"The guest officer is in a good mood today."
"Well, a little bit of a fortune. Go to the bargain shop and buy some snacks for my mother-in-law to try. ”
"You can do it."
When he arrived at the bargain shop on the west side of the city, he told the ox coachman to wait. I walked in and bought one of the "eight big boxes" that were fashionable. came out and put it on the ox cart, still lying down, crossing Erlang's legs, humming eighteen x.
The coachman is called envious, jealous and hateful, they are all mud legs, and this guy can actually afford to buy eight big boxes. That's nearly a thousand copper coins. I couldn't help it after walking halfway, and asked, "What does the guest officer do for a living?" Can you point me to this way to make a fortune?"
"You can't do what I do. I'm the groom of the county. ”
The coachman had nothing to say now, it turned out that he was eating food.
When the ox cart arrived in Beicheng, it arrived in the area where Zhou Cong's house was located. Zhou Cong grabbed the coachman's hat and said, "No. 10 Downing Street." Then he put his face on and pretended to be asleep.
The coachman ignored him and drove straight to Downing Street. But as I walked, I realized that something was wrong with this guest, why did the more I walked inside, the more I shrunk into a ball?
Stay in Downing Street and find Number 10. Asked this guest who had made a small fortune to get out of the car, and still helped him carry the box down and hand it to him.
One of the neighbors was a female celebrity at the door, and a middle-aged woman shouted: "Zhou Changshi, it's back." ”
"Huh?" The coachman was so frightened that he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and hurriedly took out the copper money he had just collected, "Zhou Mingfu." It's yours, your ......"
"It's the history of the perimeter. Tang Taishou of the Ming Mansion did not leave office. That's right, pay for the ride. I've taken your bullock cart, and of course I'm going to give you money, take it. "I still don't look back and push the door to go home.
Looking at the half-hidden broken firewood door, it is really more broken than ordinary poor people, but it is the home of Shi Zhoucong, the head of a county. Who will believe it?
"What? Don't believe he's a circumference history? That Zhonglang General is the prince of Fuchun, and he personally visited Zhou Changshi a few days ago. There were a hundred of them. The whole of Downing Street simply can't afford to stop. ”
The coachman was in a trance, as if he had been in a dream.
When I went back and told the guys, everyone didn't believe me.
"? Circumference history to buy eight big boxes? Still in your car? Do you know that Zhou Chang Shi bought rice by himself? Will you ride in your car? ”
"That's it, I've seen Zhou Changshi walk home with something on his back several times. Oh, you say he rode your ox cart from the east of the city to the west of the city? Go back to your own home in the north of the city? ”
"It may not be possible to brag and not want to think about it."
"That is, a poor official like Zhou Changshi is the best in the world. Last year, Zhou Changshi came to our Xihai County, and the boat from the dock southeast of the city was brought down by himself. It was the ox cart that I was hired for. Only the wife and the two sons were allowed to ride in the car. Zhou Changshi himself carried a lot of things, and walked to Beicheng in a daze. You said that Zhou Changshi had to take an ox cart to buy a box of dim sum? Is he willing to pay for the car? ”
"Stop. The key is that he is willing to eat eight big boxes? ”
Seeing that the guys didn't believe what he said, the coachman had to continue to defend himself: "Okay, don't talk about it. I also believe that Zhou Changshi was a Qing official. But what I just carried was really the history of the circumference. He said he made a small fortune today. ”
"Zhou Changshi made a small fortune? Zhou Changshi is worried about money, and he is going crazy. It's the bastard left by the former chief Shi Fan Junyan, and it's Xiu Baimao River, I heard that the king of Jingli is in charge of Zhou Changshi and asks for money to charge military expenses. He also made a small fortune? ”
"I think he has a point. Do you think, Zhou Changshi is going to raise a lot of money now, will he leave some for himself without plucking his feathers? Then someone came up and spoke. The man was dressed in a long robe, not silk and satin, but just linen cloth like everyone else's mud legs. Unlike a commoner, who has a cloth turban on his head, he has a wooden crown in his hair. This is the typical aristocratic dress of a broken family - no money and poor and exquisite.
The coachmen don't bother to pay attention to the broken settlement in this aristocracy - the size of the family still has a noble status, and besides, it's not worth it for you to fight with him. So everyone nodded, said "that makes sense" and drove away.
At this time, many businessmen and people also walked around with each other, discussing what to do if Zhou Papi raised taxes. The incident of Yongfa's Yang Xuening bumping into Mafu Ma Liu has obviously spread throughout the business world, and merchants who have dealings with Yongfa have asked to settle the bill or terminate the contract.
Yang Youcai, who was worried, couldn't wait to find Zhou Cong immediately and beg for mercy. And Yang Xuening washed her face with tears, and even committed suicide twice, but fortunately the maid found out.
Now the merchant gathering has been issued without notice. The cash in the hands of the run on Yongfa has been emptied, half of the shops are no longer stocked, and the vast majority of warehouses have bottomed out. In desperation, Yang Youcai planned to give up some shops and warehouses, so he instructed a few shopkeepers to probe the tone of other merchants.
"Boss, let's go. But ......"
"What's wrong? What are the difficulties of being a shopkeeper? ”
"Let them say it themselves." Let the shopkeeper walk to the side.
The few remaining shopkeepers stepped forward to resign.
"Poof!" Yang Youcai spat out a mouthful of old blood.
After a few shopkeepers carried the covers and rolled them away. Menzi reported: "Da Lang, there is a person who said that it was the county government Menzi came to Da Lang, and said that it was the county government Ma Liutuo who came to deliver a letter." ”
Yang Youcai sat up stiffly: "From the county government? Horse Six? Don't you know? Who knows Ma Liu? ”
"Hui Dalang. It's the county government groom Ma Liu who the eldest lady knocked down. ”
Yang Youcai fainted again when he heard this.
The housekeeper and the personal servant saw Yang Youcai faint and couldn't wake up. I had to ask someone to invite the eldest lady Yang Xuening.
Yang Xuening also insisted on going to the door to greet the third child, she hadn't eaten for the past two days, her face was pale and weak from hunger.
