In the study of the Shen family, Mrs. Shen, who was holding on, listened to the report of the housekeeper.

"Madam, the Zhang family sent someone to spread the word, tomorrow is the final repayment deadline, if we can't raise all the borrowed silver and interest, let us use 3,000 acres of land as collateral to pay our arrears." In the flower hall where the Shen family was entertaining, the one-eyed dragon Shen Da said with a gloomy face to Mrs. Shen, who was sitting on the carved wreath chair on the right side of the Huanghuarosewood Eight Immortals table rubbing her temples.

Mrs. Shen took a deep breath, rubbed her swollen head, refreshed herself, and lightly opened her lips, "Sir, how much money do you have on the books?" ”

"780 quintals of grain, 3,000 horses of cotton, 1,328 taels of money, 2,733 taels of silver, 128 taels ......of gold," Shen Da did not ask anyone, and accurately stated the assets of his family.

"You tell me a total, including all the houses that have been bought elsewhere." Mrs. Shen waved her hand, interrupting Shen Da's report.

The blue and white porcelain tea cup on the table exudes a charming fragrance, but it has not moved at all.

"Counting all the external courtyards, the total family assets are about 10,000 taels." Shen Da reported this number, and said to Mrs. Shen with a sad face, "Madam, these family businesses have been purchased by the ancestors of the Shen family for eight generations and hundreds of years!" It is immovable. ”

"If you don't move these, will you really fulfill the Zhang family's wish and use all the land to pay off the debt?" Mrs. Shen asked Shen Da weakly, "The ancestors have a cloud: the land is our foundation to start a family. As long as there is land, in time, everything can be restored. ”

"Ma'am, that's not enough." Shen Da also knows that land is fundamental.

Whether it is an official or a wealthy businessman, when there is an opportunity, he will desperately buy land.

This is the foundation of family inheritance.

"And what about the mansion of the Shen Mansion?" Mrs. Shen thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and asked Shen Da.

"Madam, this is ......" Shen Da's body trembled.

"The master comes back, we will be able to change the house back soon, the master can't come back, this business, I am a woman with a child who is not a product, how to keep it?" At this time, Mrs. Shen became determined.

The resoluteness in her eyes, Shen Da didn't dare to take a second look, so she could only answer, "Our entire Shen Mansion Mansion is worth about 20,000 taels, and if it is sold too quickly, it may only be 16,000 to 17,000." Madame, would you think again? Even if it is sold, this is only enough for the principal, the lord borrowed 30,000 taels from the Zhang family, with a monthly interest of three cents, the term is August, and the interest is rolled, and the principal and interest due are a total of 38,000 taels ......"

Shen Da's meaning is very obvious, even if he sells all the family properties outside the Shen family's world, the total will only be about 30,000 taels.

It's simply not enough.

For a while, both of them fell into deep thought, especially Mrs. Shen, the expression on her face was even more complicated.

Houses and fields are the foundation of a family.

If it is sold, the whole family will be defeated, and it will be difficult to turn over again.

"Madam, Mr. Shen, Zhao Xiangxiu, the old bustard of Chunfeng Building, asks to see ......" Yue'er knocked on the door and said softly after coming in.

Her words suddenly made Shen Da and Mrs. Shen change color.

They missed the IOU of the young master Shen Yue in the Chunfeng Building!

"Ma'am, why don't I send her away?" Shen Da saw that his wife's face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "The old slave has already inquired clearly, the old bustard of Chunfeng Mansion and Second Young Master Zhao teamed up to frame the young master and owe a huge debt......

"Sir, even if they framed it, the IOU was written by Yue'er himself, written in black and white, not to mention that the old man is not there, then the Zhao family and the government are ......" Mrs. Shen smiled bitterly, laughed and laughed, tears rolled down, and sighed weakly, "My stupid son!" ”

Since ancient times, the yamen has been open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money.

The Shen family immediately ran out of money, and even ignored it.

"Madame and the housekeeper are discussing matters, you can't go in......" Before Shen Da could say anything, the angry voice of Yue'er, who was guarding the door, rang out.

As soon as the door was dark, three figures broke into the flower hall.

The woman at the head was wearing a green Luo skirt, a little fat, the corners of her eyes were covered with crow's feet and not covered by the thick foundation on her face, and her mouth was painted with bright rouge like blood. As soon as the person came in, the voice came in, "Haha, Mrs. Shen and Butler Shen are here!" What a coincidence I did......"

The woman squeezed in, and she smiled, and she didn't care at all about the owner's unwelcoming look, this was Zhao Xiangxiu, the old bustard of Chunfeng Building.

Behind Zhao Xiangxiu, there were two young women with veils on their heads, wearing pink water-sleeved skirts, and graceful figures.

"Madam, she ......" Yue'er looked at the three women in front of her, without hiding her contempt at all, and said to Madame with some eagerness.

"Go down, I see." Mrs. Shen returned to her normal expression at this time.

Without waiting for Mrs. Shen to ask, Zhao Xiangxiu pulled the two women behind her to the front, smiled at Mrs. Shen and said, "Madam, I sent a daughter-in-law to your Shen family, these two women are the Siyan and Sinuo sisters who spent two thousand gold to redeem the young master of your mansion the day before yesterday, and it is appropriate to add fragrance to the red sleeves of the young master of your mansion." Today, I heard that Young Master Shen woke up, and I just sent it to let Young Master Shen cave room, and I was overjoyed......"

Every time the old bustard Zhao Xiangxiu said a word, Mrs. Shen's face became gloomy, and her whole body trembled slightly from extreme anger.

The remaining one-eyed on Shen Da's ugly face looked at Zhao Xiangxiu with murderous intent.

Zhao Xiangxiu was stunned by Shen Da's murderous eyes, raised the silk handkerchief in her hand, laughed, took out two documents from her sleeve, and put them on the table of the Eight Immortals next to Mrs. Shen, "Mrs. Shen, this is the identity deed document of the two girls, now I will send it to the house for you, I don't know ......"

Mrs. Shen took several deep breaths before suppressing her anger, and warned herself in her heart that she would be humiliated by such a despicable person, and said coldly, "Can you bring an IOU?" ”

Zhao Xiangxiu had already prepared and took out two IOUs, one for 10,000 taels of silver and the other for 2,000 taels of gold.

"Madam, do you give gold or silver?" Seeing Shen Da reaching out to take the IOU, Zhao Xiangxiu quickly took the IOU back.

"You take the people first, let's think about it first." Mrs. Shen didn't speak, and Shen opened her mouth.

As soon as Zhao Xiangxiu heard this, she was immediately unhappy, "The black and white words are clearly written, and there are many witnesses, the dignified Shen family doesn't want to repay the debt, right?" What about the young master of the Shen family? Let him come out and say, in the kiln @ sub, how can you mess around? Our Chunfeng Building finally cultivated a pair of lotus flowers, which were taken by your young master so cheaply, and now a few days have passed, no money and no people, how else can we do business? If it weren't for the Shen Mansion, how could he write an IOU and get an Oiran? For this reason, we have offended the Zhao family......"

Zhao Xiangxiu's words made the murderous aura in Shen Da's eyes even worse.

This old cousin!

With Chunfeng Lou who is not in the stream, Rao is an Oiran, and the redemption silver is only three or two thousand!

"No matter how much my Shen family declines, I won't lose my trust!" Mrs. Shen snorted coldly, forced to calm down, and snorted coldly at Zhao Xiangxiu.

"Tomorrow is the last date on the IOU!" Zhao Xiangxiu tore her face and didn't care about anything at all.

She is a cousin, and she is a faceless and skinless person.

"We'll have to wait until tomorrow!" Shen Da's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and the murderous aura diffused from his body, and the entire study became gloomy.

"Well, tomorrow the slave family will come to the door to withdraw the money! Mrs. Shen, don't be surprised, a lowly person like me is counting on getting pension money from this couple. The backstage of Chunfeng Building, you should also know ......" After Zhao Xiangxiu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

The threat in the words is very clear.

Zhao Xiangxiu left, leaving behind a master and a servant, as well as two girls who were still under the veil and motionless like wooden people, waiting for Mrs. Shen's fate.

Mrs. Shen was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

The dignified Shen family was actually bullied by an old bustard!

"Madame......" Shen Da looked at the two women next to him and asked Madame what to do.

"They are also hard-working women, if the Shen Mansion can still be preserved, let them be maids. It's better than being in a Fengyue place. People settle down first, and the rest will be talked about later! Mrs. Shen's tone revealed a deep sense of powerlessness, she was born in a scholarly family and was knowledgeable, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with the two girls, but she did not anger the two girls.

It is clearly framed by human design.

"Thank you, Madame, for taking you in!" When the two women, who were like wood from the door, heard Mrs. Shen's words, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Shen, and their foreheads hit the blue brick floor, making a bang.

The voice is crisp, round and jade, and it is very good, but no one cares about this scene, and Mrs. Shen doesn't even bother to see what these two girls look like.

The moon girl at the door left with a resentful look on her face and two women who were still veiled and kept thanking Mrs. Shen.

"Let's sell the land!" After Mrs. Shen said this, her whole person collapsed weakly on the chair. "This time, the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Zhao family joined forces to ......"

Behind the Chunfeng Building stands the Wang family, and the Wang family has a great relationship with the Futai Yamen, and the Zhang family has a background that is bigger than the Wang family!

"Madam, I sent someone to contact the interested families before, and almost all of them are back now......" Shen Da has a transcendent status in the Shen family, although he is a servant, but his identity is not a servant, so he has already made his own decisions before.

Only by selling land can the current crisis in Shen be solved.

However, the news brought back by the people who went out to contact made Mrs. Shen so angry that she vomited blood.

"Madam, the Zhao family bid 8 taels of silver per mu......"

"Madam, the Chen family said that they will not consider the land ...... for the time being"

"Madam, the old man of the Zheng family said that they can't afford to provoke people who fancy our land......"

One message after another made Mrs. Shen completely confused.

"Madam, the housekeeper of Zhang's family is waiting outside the door, he came on behalf of their master, and asked us to repay the lord's debt with 3,000 acres of land, and come to collect the land deed tomorrow......" The news from the gatekeeper made Mrs. Shen unable to bear it anymore, and spit out a mouthful of red blood.

"Send someone for me to beat him out!" Madame Shen could no longer maintain her demeanor.
