Seventh, the jade plate fell into the pearl and the fake debt was sold
"I also found the handwriting left by your father, it is indeed written by your father."
Yu Yiqin said to Yu Guozhen unhurriedly, with a slight hint of ridicule in his eyes, this kid is still playing tricks in front of him, now I want to see what else he can do.
Anyway, the wicked people have been done by the fools of the four rooms, as long as he acts in courtesy, and finally shows this kid some, which will not only leave a disgusting tail for the four rooms, but will also be praised for loving the clan, counting them in one fell swoop, why not.
"Patriarch Mingjian, what does my father want to borrow these five hundred taels of silver, such a large amount...... There has to be an explanation. Yu Guozhen's expression was a little strange, as if he was smiling but not laughing, and crying but not crying: "When my father went west, although my little nephew was old, he was already sensible, otherwise he would not have been able to support the coffin from Nanzhili for burial, but I never heard him talk about it, and he spent five hundred taels of silver!" ”
Yu Guozhen was already furious in his heart, what does five hundred taels of silver mean, he is clear, now it is the Chongzhen period, the world is shaking, the price of silver is rising, the price of land is plummeting, once worth fifty taels or even one hundred and twenty-one acres of land, now it has fallen to four or five hundred and twenty-one acres, and the IOU of five hundred taels of silver means more than one hundred acres of good land, even if all the eighty acres of land under his current name are used to pay off debts, it is not enough!
Yu Yigu, who is in the fourth room, wants to drive him into a corner!
The patriarch of the second room, don't you know anything about this? Yu Guozhen didn't believe it at all in his heart, but there was a fifth uncle Yu Yixuan in the second room, and he still needed the identity of the fifth uncle for the time being, so that only in this way could the tax on field grain be exempted, so the second room could not turn his face.
"If it weren't for the five hundred taels of silver, how could you have been so nourished in the past three years, not only did you have three meals at home, but also three meals of big fish and meat for your domestic slaves!" Yu Yigu next to him sneered: "You are ridiculous and uneducated, you know that you are idle with the house slave all day long, and I don't listen to my uncle's lessons, and it makes my family restless......"
Listening to what he said, the more unorthodox it became, Yu Yiqin coughed, it was not only the two of them present, Yu Yijian, the cousin of the long room who had never asked about things, was in a daze with his eyes blank, and there were also several elders from the side branches, and the place where they talked was in the ancestral hall of the Yu family!
"In short, I Yu Yigu has nothing to do with you, a little animal, the whole clan can testify to it, since you don't respect me as an uncle, I naturally don't regard you as a nephew, your father's debt, I don't want the money, the principal has to be repaid to me!"
After arguing for a long time, Yu Guozhen found that no one in the clan was willing to stand up for him, so he nodded slowly, knowing that he should present the first gift prepared for the clan uncle and uncle.
"Since the words of the fourth room are all about this, I am the man of the third room, so I should inherit it, from today on, the third room and the fourth room are strangers, and there is no longer any family history." He said very simply: "I can't climb the unkind and unrighteous people who calculate the inheritance of my brother!" ”
These words tore his face, and Yu Yigu was publicly exposed by him, and he was ashamed: "I returned five hundred taels of silver, and if you don't recognize it, you won't recognize it, do you think I'm willing to listen to your little beast call uncle?" ”
"Five hundred taels of silver...... I didn't. Yu Guozhen said.
"Then take the field, the house, and the house slave!"
"Tian Zhai house slave, that's my father's permanent property left for me, I don't want to take it!"
"There is no silver, and the slaves of the field house are unwilling to take it, do you want to repay the debt? As long as you accompany me to see the official, I will rely on you! ”
"I didn't say anything about it...... Great uncle. Yu Guozhen turned to Yu Yijian, and Yu Yijian, who had been in a daze, only woke up from a dream at this time, and looked at him with an "oh" sound.
"Play stupid!" Many people cursed in their hearts.
Yu Yijian is indeed pretending to be stupid, Yu Ji Pawnshop, one of the important industries of the Yu family in the town, has always been in his business, and he has lost a lot of belongings every year, even better than Yu Guozhen's eighty acres of land. But at this moment, he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the third room and the fourth room, although he was the oldest, he was only a concubine after all.
"Uncle, please invite Mr. Chao Feng from the shop." Yu Guozhen said: "I want to be a cash withdrawal, and use the cash to pay off the account of the four houses." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and Yu Yijian, who was originally absent-minded, suddenly lit up in his eyes, and immediately ordered someone to summon someone.
Yu Yigu's face changed back and forth, and he glanced at Yu Yiqin, but Yu Yiqin was silent, and Yu Yigu knew that he couldn't count on Yu Yiqin anymore. He sneered: "According to the rules of our pawnshop, I think you can get five hundred taels of silver." ”
"Whether you can get five hundred taels of silver or not, that's my business, and it has nothing to do with you." Yu Guozhen said lightly.
Yu Yigu was furious, and he could scold again, but Yu Guozhen looked at it at this time, which made his heart suddenly cold, because Yu Guozhen's eyes carried an invisible pressure, and it felt as if he was just a local chicken and tile dog who sold his head!
When he realized that he was frightened by a junior who was less than sixteen years old, he noticed that although his face was still immature, Yu Guozhen's height had surpassed him.
With unremitting exercise and adequate nutrition, Yu Guozhen's height has grown to nearly one meter seven, and in the Yu family, which is not usually tall, there is indeed no difference from adults. Moreover, his muscles are knotted, and in the past three years, people have learned martial arts with others, although he has only learned some of the tricks of the croppers, in fact, he has a period of exercise method himself, which makes him and the two pillars who follow him have the strength to fight two or even more.
In the blink of an eye, Chao Feng was invited, Yu Guozhen took out a bag, and then asked for a porcelain plate, when he opened the small cloth bag and poured it into the porcelain plate, the sound of clanging suddenly made the eyes of the Yu clan in the ancestral hall straighten.
"It's ...... Pearls, pearls! Chao Feng is knowledgeable, and when he saw it, he immediately exclaimed.
Pearls are not too unusual, but at this time, both southern pearls and northern pearls have been extremely rare, taking Hepu pearls as an example, the total amount of pearls harvested in the five years of Jiajing is only 80 taels, and even the price of pearls produced in the river has also risen. To the surprise of the court, this plate of river beads is similar in size, smooth in color, and looks as if it has not been picked for a long time, and it is by no means those that have been put for more than a hundred years of color-changing goods!
This plate of river beads of the same size can be woven into a pearl crown, or even a pearl dress, if you take it out and sell it, I am afraid that a thousand gold can be exchanged!
"Please see how much this bag of river beads left to me by my ancestor is worth."
Chao Feng was stunned for a while, he made an abacus in his sleeve, crackled and dialed, and then swallowed: "How is Brother Zhen'er going to behave in the law?" ”
"Die." Yu Guozhen said lightly: "If I sell it to Hui merchants, they will sell it to Qinhuai, the price will be higher, but I don't want to be so troublesome, and the fourth room may not give me time, so if I die, I want to come from my own shop, I can't let me suffer too much-uncle, don't you say?" ”
How could Yu Yijian say no at this time, say no, that is, I don't want to go with the silver of the white flowers!
He didn't care about Yu Yigu's eyeballs that were about to protrude his sockets, nodded busily, and smiled so that his eyes sparkled like this pearl: "That's nature, that's nature, our family, how can you make you suffer, others will die, jewelry and other things are all counted as ...... market price."
When he said this, he glanced at Yu Guozhen, and saw that Yu Guozhen was about to close the pearls in the market without saying a word, and he immediately said quickly: "Our own family naturally can't do this, I will count you as a fifty-percent discount of the market price......
Yu Guozhen laughed, but there was no smile on his face, he looked at Yu Yigu: "I will repay your debt at a discount of pearls?" ”
Yu Yigu was greedy: "This plate is all ......"
Before he finished speaking, Yu Yijian said again: "Nephew Zhen, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking, I'm sorry for our family even if you count you at 50% off the market price, 80% off, 80% off!" ”
"Big brother, what do you mean by this?" Yu Yigu was suddenly angry, he would also calculate, this plate of pearls, sold to Hui merchants, is worth a thousand taels to say the least, and the big house actually grabbed food in his mouth!
"Fourth, don't be too many, you have forced Guozhen's nephew to this situation, and the beads left by the third child for him have to be taken out and killed, what do you want? If it is really as you said, you have paid off all the debts of this plate of treasures, how can you let Guozhen's nephew marry a wife and have children in the future? Yu Yi said earnestly: "If you ......"
"I'm sorry, I gave birth to you hypocrites, who are obviously more greedy than me, and I alone bear the name of the wicked!" Yu Yigu was anxious, his surname was originally impatient, and he said sharply: "You ......"
"Fourth brother, Guozhen is going to pay you back five hundred taels of capital, what are you going to do?" At this time, Yu Yixuan, the fifth old man who had not spoken out, spoke.
These words were like a basin of cold water, poured down from the beginning, and Yu Yigu calmed down, yes, although this plate of pearls belonged to the pawnshop in the clan, the benefits were distributed by the clan, and Yu Guozhen returned his five hundred taels of silver, but he didn't spend any money to get it.
However, thinking that the beads worth two hundred silver slid past his hand like this, Yu Yigu was still indignant in his heart, and he glared at the brothers in the second room of the big house with hatred.
Yu Guozhen sneered on the side, very good, the second and fourth rooms of the big room turned their faces for this pearl that was worthless in his eyes, and what he had to do next was much easier.
"The market price of this plate of beads is worth a total of 1,200 taels of silver, and 80% off is 960 taels...... Guozhen, do you receive cash or silver tickets? After muttering twice with Chaofeng, Yu Yijian asked.
"Cash, I still have to repay the debts of the fourth room, all the uncles have seen it with their own eyes, the IOU has come to my hands, if there is any IOU in the hands of the fourth room in the future, it must be fake." Yu Guozhen said calmly.
The delivery of 1,000 taels of silver was not a burden for Yu Guozhen, he brought the Gao family brothers, and the Gao family brothers put the remaining 500 taels of silver on the mule cart and drove them back to their mansions.
The remaining five hundred taels of silver will be left with him for the time being, and it will soon be ...... I'll get it back with interest.
