Chapter 58: Borrowing money

"Still don't want to, right?" Tang Xiu pretended to shirk, "It's just a manor, it's best to be able to get it, but if you really can't get it, the little nephew doesn't matter." ”

For Li Weixian's Taoyuan Pavilion, Tang Xiu's performance didn't seem to be so precarious, Pei Youdao was anxious at that time: "I can't say that, Li Shaoyin's manor is backed by green mountains and faces the river, and more importantly, it is also located in the middle of the manor community in the east of the city, which is really a unique feng shui treasure, if it weren't for my Pei family's own manor, I wouldn't have missed this great opportunity!" ”

"The virtuous nephew grew up in Taiyuan City, and he is no stranger to the manor in the east of the city. Pei Youdao spared no effort to persuade: "If it weren't for Li Shaoyin's family to move to Chang'an this time, I'm afraid that in another ten or twenty years, I may not be able to wait for such an opportunity, if the virtuous nephew misses this time, I'm afraid there will be no next time." ”

"This ......" Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment, and said with a sad face: "I know what Shibo said, to be honest, that manor is indeed very exciting, but the 40,000 guan is indeed not a minority, and the little nephew really can't raise it at this time, if Li Shaoyin can delay it for a year or two before selling it, it will be ...... then."

Halfway through his words, Tang Xiu seemed to sense that something was wrong, and suddenly changed his words: "In short, the little nephew is afraid that he will not have anything to do with it." ”

There is a way that the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional, although Tang Xiu's words are only half spoken, but they still make Pei Youdao and several other Pei family members present shine.

If you can't take it out now, the implication is that in one to two years, he will be able to take it out?

What kind of business can make Tang Xiu sure that he can earn 40,000 yuan in less than two years?

The Pei family itself also has all kinds of businesses to take care of, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city that are cultivated, but even so, the annual harvest is only three or five thousand, forty thousand, and without ten or twenty years of careful management, don't even think about it.

Therefore, they were really curious, what did Tang Xiu have to rely on to be able to confidently earn 40,000 yuan in two years?

It seems that the rumor they got this morning should be true!

Gujing Lingquan, three hundred wen a pound of green vegetables, if this is the case, then wouldn't the Tang family be like guarding a cornucopia? If you don't do anything every day, you can make a lot of money just by growing vegetables!

"Don't mind!" Pei Youdao continued: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have enough money now, uncle, can I lend it to you first?" As I said before, if there is no more, Uncle Guan can still get 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. The opportunity is rare, and my uncle doesn't want to see my nephew miss such a good opportunity. ”

Pei Youdao said it sincerely, and he almost patted his chest and said that he would give all the money to Tang Xiu.

"This ......" Tang Xiu was obviously a little moved, but he still shook his head lightly with a difficult face and refused: "Forget it, the little nephew only has two or three thousand yuan at home now, even if he has Shibo's 30,000 yuan, there is still not much hope, so don't trouble Shibo." ”

The more Tang Xiu refused, the more Pei Youdao rushed to lend him the money, and the two brothers Pei Shiyuan and Pei Shixin were also helping him, and the Pei family father and son seemed to have become extremely enthusiastic at this moment.

In the end, Pei Youdao simply took one step and directly raised the amount of money to 40,000 at once, so that Tang Xiu could no longer find a reason to refuse.

"Do you really want to borrow?" Tang Xiu was forced to have no way back, and once again confirmed to Pei Youdao: "That's 40,000 yuan, Shibo is not afraid that I won't be able to pay it back if I borrow it?" ”

"There is no hurry to repay the money!" Pei Youdao waved his hand and said very boldly: "Our two families are world friends, and you are now my Pei family's uncle, who else can I help if I don't help you?" ”

"I'll let people go to the money bank to withdraw money, and the virtuous nephew only needs to leave an IOU, and when he leaves, he can take all the 40,000 guan with him!"

After speaking, Pei Youdao waved his hand at the housekeeper outside the door and gave an order, and the housekeeper left in response to the call and went to raise money.

"In this case," Tang Xiu deliberately paused, and saw that Pei Youdao and the others all moved their eyes to him, and then avoided being embarrassed: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, little nephew, thank you Shibo!" ”

"Hahaha! As it should be! As it should be! ”

Seeing Tang Xiu's response, Pei Youdao laughed loudly, and ordered his subordinates to send pen, ink, paper, and inkstones and put them in front of Tang Xiu.

It's just an IOU, Tang Xiu didn't hesitate, picked up the wording, and waved it, but when he wrote the final repayment date, he couldn't help but look up and ask Pei Youdao: "This date, why don't you set it for next year?" Before the beginning of spring next year, the little nephew will be able to return the full amount! ”

Pei Youdao waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "You don't need to write the date or something, can't your uncle still trust you?" ”

"Dad, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Pei Youdao's voice fell, and the second son Pei Shixin continued: "What if their Tang family has not been able to do it?" Our money is not blowing in the wind, this one has no guarantor and no mortgage, if it is really not repaid at that time, won't all this money be wasted? ”

"Yes, Dad," the eldest Pei Shiyuan also echoed: "We don't have a problem with you wanting to lend money to Brother Tang Xian, after all, the relationship between the two families is there, and the Tang family has difficulties, and our Pei family should help a little, but these 40,000 guan is indeed not a decimal, and Brother Tang Xian also has some bad habits of squandering at will, and the child is worried about ......"

Tang Xiu gently put down the pen and quietly watched the performance of the father and son in front of him.

One sings with a red face and two with a white face, and the cooperation is really tacit.

However, this was not unexpected by Tang Xiu, from the time Pei Youdao proposed to lend him money, Tang Xiu knew that it would not be so simple, no, the meat drama is coming!

"Shut up all of them!" Pei Youdao raised his eyebrows, looking angry, "Pei and Tang are world friends, why don't you even have this basic trust?" What happened to Forty Thousand Kan? No matter how heavy the money is, can it still be more important than the friendship between our two families for nearly a hundred years?! ”

That's a good point, Tang Xiu couldn't help but want to applaud and cheer for him.

"Shibo, what the two brothers said is not unreasonable." Tang Xiu knew that it was time for him to speak at this time, and said to Pei Youdao very cooperatively: "Forty thousand guan is indeed not a decimal, it really can't be borrowed just by empty words, or how about the little nephew take the ancestral house of the Tang family as collateral?" ”

A hint of joy flashed in the Pei brothers' eyes, and Pei Youdao pretended to be displeased and softly refused: "Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be like this, don't listen to these two rebels talking nonsense here, uncle can trust you!" ”

"Daddy!" "Daddy!"

Pei Shiyuan and Pei Shixin made dissatisfied voices almost at the same time, but they were glared back by Pei Youdao, and they all closed their mouths and didn't dare to say anything more.

"It's better to add it, anyway, it can be returned before the beginning of spring next year, Shibo just rest assured!"

Tang Xiu stubbornly picked up the pen and wrote another paragraph on the IOU, although Pei Youdao said that he didn't use it, but he didn't deliberately stop it, and watched Tang Xiu write the Tang family's ancestral house as a mortgage on the IOU.

After the IOU was written, the signature was put down, Tang Xiu picked up the IOU and gently blew the ink on the paper dry, and then carefully folded it and put it directly in his sleeve.

"Pay the money with one hand, and hand over the IOU with the other." Tang Xiu chuckled and glanced up at Pei Youdao, and explained: "It's not that the little nephew can't trust Shibo, but everything must be in order, although we are world friends, but since we have written an IOU, we can only do it according to the rules of borrowing, I hope Shibo doesn't mind!" ”

"It should be, it should be."

Pei Youdao nodded softly absently, and the smile in his eyes was like a wave in a quiet lake, slowly rippling outward.
