Chapter 040: Usury

The matter of condensing incense was thrown aside by Zhu Fu and Lin Ruoxi. They stood opposite each other with their hands on one side of the cobblestone tabletop, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, looking at each other, and fighting for their red faces and thick necks. Lin Ruoxi's attitude is very clear, she has to "Dream of Red Mansions", and Zhu Fu's position is also very firm, stubbornly not selling or mortgaging, asking for books, asking for one.

"That's it, that's it. Since you have the heart to use yourself as collateral, then I will reluctantly accept it. See, you are an extremely honest person, so Miss Ben might as well lend you the two thousand taels of silver. Not unconditionally, though, but conditional. First, you have to promise me that from tomorrow, when you tell me "Dream of Red Mansions", you must no longer say whatever you want like in the past; Second, when this is an important part, you must not come back to know the future, please listen to the next breakdown; Three, at least half an hour a day, until I nodded my head; Fourth, the two thousand taels of silver that I borrowed also have a time limit and require interest. I want you to pay it off after three months, with interest, four thousand taels of silver. If there is no problem, I will send Qiu Yue to send you the relevant contract documents and silver tickets. After you have signed and pressed your handprint, the two thousand taels of silver ticket are yours. With an idea, Lin Ruoxi, who sat down again, realized that blindly competing with him would not lead to anything. So, thinking about it, she came up with a curve strategy to save the country.

Zhu Fu, who had pricked up his ears and listened to her series of terms, immediately scolded in his heart, Nima. The first two items can be accepted unconditionally. From the third point onwards, he felt what is called the overlord clause. Every day, no less than half an hour tells her "Dream of Red Mansions", that is, for an hour, and she has to nod her head too much.

Otherwise, if she had heard it, she would not have allowed herself to speak to her for twelve hours. Okay, if you have a good plan, my brother will have a ladder over the wall. As long as you don't finish it by yourself after most of the hour, then you can repeat the books you said in the day from beginning to end. When the time comes, see who can survive whom?

Thinking of this, Zhu Fu had his own countermeasures for the third article proposed by Lin Ruoxi, and he had no objections. It's just that Article 4 is really TMD excessive, out-and-out usury, unequal treaties. Borrow for only three months and repay 100% of the interest. At present, I am like a peasant who has no food at home for a long time, but he can't harvest the things in the field, so he has no choice but to go to a landlord like Huang Shiren to borrow grain, but he has to pay a very high price for this, which is very likely to sell Xi'er.

"Have you thought about it? If you can't make this decision now, you can go back and think slowly. When you think about it and agree, then Miss Ben will hand you the silver ticket. Put your heart in your belly, and not only will I not be in a hurry at all, but I will not change my mind. Seeing that he couldn't make up his mind, Lin Ruoxi, who felt a sense of pride in his heart, enjoyed turning defense into offense.

Zhu Fu, who gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, believed in wealth and danger, and it was rare to fight a few times in life. As long as her story will sell well, she is not afraid that she will not be able to pay back her money. I really had to make a mistake in judgment and step on the wrong point, so I teamed up with Li Wenxuan to go outside the city, find a crooked neck tree, and hang myself. The advantage of this is that Huangquan Road is not lonely. As for the Li family's old mansion or something, it will all be left to Zhao Tianer to live and make a dowry in the future!

Zhu Fu, who made a decision in the end, faced a life with no way out, and said: "Okay, I agreed." Take a step first, and I'll be waiting for the arrival of your Qiuyue in Shangshanguan. After speaking, he directly said goodbye, turned around and walked first.

"Miss, are you driving him to a dead end? And if he doesn't come out and it's not too cheap for him? Four thousand taels of silver, what a lot! Even if he sells himself into slavery in our house, it won't be worth so much silver. In the eyes of the slave maid, Zhao Tian'er is worth a lot more than him. Although Qiu Yue didn't know why Zhu Fu had borrowed so much money, she also understood that it was extraordinary to pay 4,000 taels of silver for this three months later. I have resentment in my heart against him, but I don't want to see him have a good future and end up in a tragic end.

Lin Ruoxi, who turned her head sideways and looked at her, saw through her careful thinking at a glance. A smile appeared on her face, and she said bluntly: "You still care about him!" Before, I really thought that you were angry with him because of Xiao Ningxiang's matter, and you were eating his vinegar for a long time! ”

"Miss...... He's just an out-and-out bad guy, so I won't eat his jealousy! I wish I couldn't pay it back. A pretty face is Qiu Yue, who is so red that she can pinch out blood, her head is lowered, her hands are at a loss to rub the corners of her clothes, and her two eyes are also looking left and right, duplicitous.

"If you can't afford to pay back my silver, that doesn't mean that I have lost at least two thousand taels of silver. Qiuyue, you are my personal maid, but you don't stand on my side, what is your intention? Looking at Lin Ruoxi, who was embarrassed by her, laughter fluttered in the wind like silver bells.

"Miss ......" realized that she was making fun of Qiu Yue again, and stomped her feet on the spot, unable to argue.

Lin Ruoxi, who dragged his cheek and placed it on the round stone table with one hand, smiled thoughtfully and said, "I guess he borrowed the silver, I'm afraid he did it as a capital." If he made it, it shows that he still has some real skills in this regard. However, I hope that in three months' time, he won't be able to do it, and that's the best. When the time comes, let's see how Miss Ben can slowly rectify him? Taking advantage of me Lin Ruoxi has to pay a price. ”

Qiu Yue, who seemed completely incomprehensible, although she knew that the Lin family was rich and rivaled the country, she didn't understand why her young lady was still looking forward to making a loss-making transaction that could not recover the principal. still hopes that her young lady will not lend the silver to Zhu Fu, half of it is for Lin Ruoxi, and the other half is for him: "What if he takes the silver or waits for the day to come and runs away?" In that case, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water, and it will be empty? ”

"Miss Ben's observation of him for many days is not such a man who does not pay attention to honesty and irresponsibility. He just has a lot of flamboyant tongues, and he is confused on weekdays, and he doesn't care about four or six. Lin Ruoxi, who has a pair of discerning eyes and can recognize people, was unmoved and had her own opinion of Zhu Fu.
