Chapter 372 The capital to buy a concubine
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp, turtle looking for king.
To put it simply, people are divided into groups.
can be relied on by Cao Weituo as a confidant and appointed as the chief account of the staff, and his temperament and temper must be the same as Cao Weituo's smell.
Therefore, although Cao Weituo, a big account housekeeper, is not good at financial management, he has a very good set of skills in those side doors.
Cao Weituo ordered it down, and the big account room immediately began to raise money.
As the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, Cao Weituo at the moment is of course short of funds, but that is because his industry is too big, and the expenses in any aspect are huge funds, not that he is overstretched, and he is so poor that he has no food and clothing. The so-called poverty of the rich and the so-called poverty of the poor are two completely different concepts.
Therefore, it is quite easy for Cao Weituo to prepare a decent and abundant capital to buy a concubine.
This side was ready to stop, and the big account room ordered all the cars and horses, and hit the road in a mighty way.
The big account office rushed to the town, asked about the fifth house, and when he led the team to rush over, the fifth house was crowded, noisy and scolding, and it was making a lot of trouble.
It was the Zhang family who came to make trouble.
The Zhang family finally found the hedgehog-like corpse of their son, and the servants were busy for an hour just by raising the arrow, and when they finished raising the arrow, this person was almost as late as Ling Chi, and there was no way to see it.
The Zhang family was very angry about this, in fact, the fifth Ling Ruo's previous words were already leaky, and the Zhang family also felt that it was impossible to be harsh on other girls under such circumstances, so they looked for someone by themselves.
However, the emotional stability at that time was because they were not sure whether their son was dead or alive, and they were really going to make trouble, but the son came back in a good way, and the two neighbors, who were originally quite harmonious, would not get along well in the future.
As a result, what was waiting for the news of his son's death came, and the Zhang family was angry.
It's not that the Zhang family thinks that their son was killed by the girl from the fifth family, but a kind of injustice: Why is it that in the chaos, my son is young and strong, and he is dead and dead, and your girl was blind at that time, unable to see things, but she can jump around?
Sadness, jealousy, and injustice turned into some malicious slander in the mouths of the Zhang family.
Why is the girl in the fifth family safe and sound? Tsk, don't you look at her goblin-like little appearance, the rebel army, the robbers and thieves who take the opportunity to make trouble, this girl doesn't know how many times she turned her hand in their hands, and she was about to be put to sleep!
Gossip, malicious slander, the more you talk, the more colorful.
And this kind of rumor can quite satisfy people's bad taste, so it spreads more and more widely, and the mother of the fifth Ling Ruo soon heard the rumor.
The fifth lady was anxious when she heard it, her own girl, being said like this, can she still marry in the future?
And the most disgusting thing is that once this kind of rumor is generated, you don't want to justify it clearly, you have to carry this black cauldron, you have to carry it if you don't carry it, you have to carry a quilt. Don't underestimate the evil of human nature, even if everyone knows that you have been wronged, this slander will still turn into real pressure and be tied to you forever.
It is so easy to ruin a woman's innocence and happiness in her life!
The fifth lady was so angry that she cried and scolded, this can stab the Zhang family's hornet's nest, the Zhang family was already indignant, why is my son dead, but your daughter is living well? This time, they rushed to the door, relying on the huge family and the large number of people, blocking the door and scolding.
The big account room led people to the door, and saw the three floors inside and the three floors outside, hundreds of people watched the excitement, the big account room frowned, got up and got out of the carriage, took a few steps forward, first probed to see, and then asked the people next to him.
The man gave him a cheerful explanation, and the big bookkeeper pouted, and turned and walked back.
He knew about Cao Weituo's "righteous help" of the fifth girl, and of course he understood that this was the family's chewing tongue and deliberately defiled. Of course, at this time, Cao Weituo's question was also unclear, and he didn't know that the elder brother "Fifth View Fish" was not the fifth Ling Ruo's own brother.
Even if they knew, the big account office didn't care. Marrying concubines and marrying women, many of the noble gentlemen and concubines of this era are red girls redeemed in Fireworks Willow Lane, and there are even more men who have been with them, and no one cares about this. There are even some wealthy families who are very particular about taking concubines and serving maids and banquets.
For chastity, this is an extremely demanding and extremely indulgent age, and the demand is to lean to the left or the right, depending on the positioning of you. You are a wife, so you have all kinds of constraints and many requirements. If you are a concubine, it is just a plaything that people bought, no matter how many people you have passed through before, how many people have played with you, anyway, it is just a "thing".
The big account room retreated to the garage, so he pouted and ordered: "Go, break up the troublesome Zhang family for me." β
A group of slaves immediately rolled up their arms and sleeves, pulled out the sticks that carried the goods tied with red silk, rushed forward, and whipped them without a head or face.
These people are also ruthless, they don't care if you are a man or a woman, old or young, looking at the door and scolding the Zhang family is a whipping, beating these people with blue noses and swollen faces, blood spurting from their mouths and noses, and they don't know who they are.
More than a dozen slave sticks flew over, beating the people of the Zhang family into a desert and fleeing, separating a way, and the big account room was in a whole green shirt, walking forward with a smile, and giving a long wave to the fifth couple who were standing at the door a little confused, and said: "This is the fifth gentleman and the fifth lady, right?" β
Mr. Fifth saw this person Svenwen, but those fierce and vicious men were all looking at him, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly crossed their hands and returned the salute: "It's down, Mr. is ......."
The big account room smiled and said: "The old man's surname is Yu, the account office of the West City Bureau, and my Cao Weituo, the mayor of the West City Bureau, was in the chaos a few days ago, Zeng Yi rescued Ling's children, so he had to get acquainted with Ling Yuan Ling Ruo's girl, and fell in love with Ling Ruo's Lan Xin's wisdom and ice and snow posture at first sight. β
The big account room said, his figure was slightly on one side, and with a wave of his hand, he lifted up the burden of buying a concubine, and removed the red cloth in front of him with a bang, revealing the bright and clear silk and the golden ingots on the tray.
The big account room smiled to himself and said: "My Ah Lang wants to marry Ling Yuan as the thirteenth aunt, this is my Ah Lang's capital to buy a concubine, and I hope that Mr. Fifth can agree." β
Most of the apprentices taught by Mr. Fifth are in various wealthy families to do accounting offices, so he naturally knows what the West Market Bureau is, such a head who controls the financial resources of the West Market, actually wants to take his daughter as a concubine, which surprised and delighted him when he arrived.
You must know that the fifth Ling Ruo is beautiful and incomparable, the matchmaker broke through the threshold three years ago, and now he is fifteen years old, and he has reached the legal age of marriage in the government, and the reason why he has not yet left the cabinet is because Mr. Fifth feels that his girl is handsome, and he is not worried about getting married, and he wants to choose a better in-law.
O king of the West City, is there a more suitable candidate than such a son-in-law?
A little bit of it is exposed between people's fingers, and the fifth family can become the richest man in the town.
The fifth lady was also dazzled by the golden ingots and lustrous satin, and she only had a set of satin clothes when she got married, and she was not willing to wear them a few times, as for the gold ingots, she had never seen them in her own home in her life.
The couple was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly let the big account room into the house, glanced at the villagers who were still selling in front of the door with some pride, and slammed the courtyard door.
As soon as they sat in the hall and listened to the details of the big account room, the fifth couple was full of promises. Even if there is no such thing as the Zhang family, being able to climb the high branch of the king of the West Market is something that the fifth couple can't ask for. Besides, now that his daughter has been slandered, she has lost her reputation.
In this case, although the daughter is beautiful, it is extremely difficult to find a good wife to be a wife, even if it is a small family that is not as good as theirs, it has to be like a dwarf half a head, and you have to beg others in a low voice, why bother?
I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife!
"No problem! Mayor Cao's name, I have admired it for a long time in the town, and the little girl can serve Mayor Cao, which is the blessing of my Cao family. β
Mr. Fifth agreed, and the big account room smiled happily: "Okay! Mr. Fifth is such a cheerful person. In this case, did you sign this letter of appointment on the spot? β
A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine. The wealth of a wife is called a dowry; The wealth of a concubine is called buying capital. The same form, different titles, determines different identities and treatments.
Mr. Fifth felt that his daughter could be a concubine for Cao Weituo, that was the fifth ancestral tomb burned high incense, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy, and people suddenly lost interest, but it was not good to take the initiative to mention it.
When the two couples returned to the room, they were busy counting the financial gifts, and they were amazed, and the fifth gentleman happily went to collect the financial gifts, and the fifth lady rushed to the backyard girl's room in a hurry.
Fifth, Ling Ruo was weeping in the room, she was angry and crying.
Although she is clever and has a strong personality, which girl can stand such a basin on her head? But this kind of foul language, there is no way to stand up and refute it, so angry that the little girl can only cry in the room, crying so that her eyes are as swollen as peaches.
At this time, the door opened, and the fifth lady walked in with a spring breeze on her face. Seeing his mother's appearance, the fifth Ling Ruo was stunned, and quickly put away the chakra that was touching, stepped forward, and said worriedly: "Mother, why do you ......, the people of the Zhang family are no longer making trouble?" β
The fifth lady said diligently: "The people of the Zhang family have been beaten away, where do you dare to make trouble." Girl, happy event, big happy event, you have seen Mayor Cao of the West City Bureau in the city? β
Fifth, Ling Ruo's heart tightened, when she told her father and mother about her experience before, she didn't mention the fat man with squinting eyes at all, how did her father and mother know?
Fifth Ling Ruo nodded: "Yes!" How? β
The fifth lady poked her on the forehead and said angrily: "You dead girl, why didn't you say it earlier?" Mayor Cao sent someone to bring a large amount of money and gifts to take you as a concubine. Girl, you have a good life, you have become a master all of a sudden, the concubine of Mayor Cao of Xishi, from now on, eat fragrant, drink spicy, brocade clothes and food, fairy-like days, I don't know how many people will be envied and killed, hahaha......"
The fifth lady smiled, without the slightest awareness of taking a woman as a concubine.
In fact, to some extent, what is the difference between entering the palace as a concubine and being a concubine? But entering the palace as a concubine is a great joy for anyone's family, why? The sky is different, it is a knot in a hurry.
Of course, Cao Weituo does not have such a high status, but the fifth family is just an ordinary people's family, and this gap is not much different from the daughter of the eunuch and the powerful family entering the palace as a concubine, and the fifth lady is of course not ashamed.
Fifth Ling Ruo's face changed, and he said nervously: "My father didn't promise him, right?" β
The fifth lady said: "Why don't you agree?" This is a great thing, your father has signed a letter of appointment with someone else, and agreed to come over in three days. β
"What? I won't say yes, you ...... You're selling your daughter. β
When Ling Ruo heard this, his face was discolored, and he didn't choose to say anything for a while.
The fifth eldest lady was displeased: "What is this called, people like ours go to a wealthy family as concubines, what's the shame?" Besides......"
The fifth lady pulled the fifth Ling Ruo to sit down on the side of the kang, and said earnestly: "Girl, the Zhang family is gossiping everywhere now, my mother knows that you are wronged, but she can't stand the crowd." If your reputation stinks, who else can you marry? It's rare that Mayor Cao likes you, you know, your father is afraid that people will turn around and dislike your rumors and refuse to ask you again, so he hurried to bookmark the purchase, otherwise you think you can't wait and talk about it anymore? Your father is also a face-saving person, we are all here for your good! β
"I don't need it, I can't get married. I'm innocent, Brother Bing knows! Brother Bing won't dislike me, he will marry me. β
The fifth lady was stunned, and her guard paused: "What Brother Bing, you were vague before, the one who saved you?" You and him, don't you really ......"
Fifth Ling Ruo paused and said, "Oh, mother, where did you think of going, of course Brother Bing and I ...... Have clean hands. β
The fifth lady sank her face and said, "What is this person doing?" β
Fifth Ling Ruo said: "He is ......"
Fifth Ling Ruo suddenly thought that his father and mother were a little snobbish, and his mind changed, and he hurriedly boasted for Li Yu: "Brother Bing's name is Yang Bing, he was originally ...... was originally a ranger, but now, he is valued by the current prince. Originally, he was going to send me back this time, but he was invited by the prince to go to the East Palace, and he will soon become a big official. β
The fifth lady originally thought that she was a cat and a dog-like character, but she was also a little nervous when she heard this. Wealth and glory, of course, have to give way to power. The world is big, and the power is the greatest! The fifth lady hurriedly got up to find her husband, and as soon as the fifth gentleman put away his belongings, the fifth lady hurried over.
"Boss, it's not good, it's troublesome, our girl ......"
As soon as the fifth lady told her what had happened, Mr. Fifth was also stunned: "There is such a thing?" If it's just a small official, forget it, the prince is heavy? What a big official will he be in the future, if he compares with being a big official, being rich and noble is a fart. But...... Is this true, or is it a lie that the girl doesn't want to marry? This girl has been clever since she was a child, and she has a lot of eyes, don't deceive her, there are not many opportunities like this, and, once it is fake, King Xishi, we can't afford to offend. β
Mr. Fifth was stunned for a long time, a little at a loss.
The fifth lady said: "Oh, the master, don't be stupid, don't you have a student who works as an accountkeeper in the East Palace Changshi's house, hurry up and go into the city to inquire, it's only three days, and you can't delay it." β
Mr. Fifth woke up and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll enter the palace immediately, no, I'll enter the city immediately!" β
Mr. Fifth hurriedly changed his clothes to go out, took out his donkey from the backyard, stepped on the donkey, and hurried to Chang'an City.
