Chapter 33: No News

Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, although the economy of North Vietnam is not developed, but there are such rich merchants as 10,000 large households, and the operation of the money village is quite perfect.

People prefer to keep their money in their bankings rather than at home.

In addition, Xingcheng County is only a lower county, although there are rich businessmen led by tens of thousands of households, but everyone is quiet, not lively, which is very similar to modern society.

Seeing more than a dozen wealthy businessmen gathered in his bank, Fan Yuan wanted to cry without tears. It's not because they all have to withdraw money from the bank, but because they have a share in their own affairs. Two hundred taels of silver may not be a big deal for these rich merchants, but for their own small money bank, it is a big problem.

The main business scope of Fan's Money Village is the capital area, if it were not for the 10,000 large households in Xingcheng County, Fan's Money Village would not have set up a branch in Xingcheng County at all.

can be the manager of the money village in charge of the branch operation, but Fan Yuan himself does not have so much money. If he hadn't followed the fun and only gave a gift of twenty taels, he wouldn't have caused trouble today.

Fan Yuan didn't dare to talk nonsense on this occasion, but not everyone was so taboo, such as Lu Daring in the North Street Dye Factory.

Lu Daring is not only called Bold, but also acts boldly, as if just for this name, Lu Daring dares to be the first in the world in everything. When others could not see the value of dyes, Lu Daring began to use wild mountain flowers outside Xingcheng County to make various dyes. As a result, it doesn't matter if you make a lot of money, no one in Xingcheng County can meddle in this industry, even if it is a big household.

While pinching the wedding card in his hand hard, Lu Daring said with hatred on his face: "Bastard, Wan Dahu wants to fight with the magistrate, why should we be involved." ”

"Why? Just because you also listened to the instigation of ten thousand big households, you only gave twenty taels of gift money, and said that you didn't have time to attend the wedding of the county magistrate! ”

With a yin and yang strange voice, Chen Yuanwai twisted his short beard and mocked on the side.

Although Chen Yuan's family does not do business, the ancestors of the Chen family have been big officials in the imperial court and have purchased a lot of land in Xingcheng County, so the family is also quite wealthy, and they are not afraid of sitting on empty food. It's not that Chen Yuanwai doesn't know how to befriend businessmen, but he is particularly wrong with Lu Daring.

The reason for the incident was that Lu boldly wanted to exchange concubines with Chen Yuanwai, but Chen Yuanwai desperately refused to allow it. After going back and forth, the two formed a grudge.

Now no one knows what the truth of the matter was at that time, only that since the concubine died of an unexpected illness, Chen Yuanwai has never given Lu Daring a good face.

Hearing Chen Yuanwai talking about himself again, Lu boldly said angrily: "Stinky old dog, don't just know about me, what about yourself?" You didn't just give 20 taels of gift money yourself. ”

"But I'm not going to complain."

Chen Yuan didn't look at Lu Boldly, but he blocked everyone with a word. Among the crowd, only Chen Yuanwai had read a book, and the old man Zhan, who opened a restaurant next to him, said: "Chen Yuanwai, if you have any ideas, just say it!" Don't hide or hide there. ”

"Humph! What could he have in mind. ”

Without waiting for Chen Yuanwai to speak, Lu Daring said with a dissatisfied face: "Don't forget that this matter doesn't count, since the magistrate came to Xingcheng County, none of us have sold him a good face." ”

"In the past, there were tens of thousands of big households covering us, and the magistrates would not do anything to us. But now that Wan Dahu has changed the direction of the wind, and he wants to marry Sister You to the magistrate, what can he do? ”

Not reading is not the same as being unreasonable, Chen Yuanwai refuted his own words, and Lu Daring would also refute Chen Yuanwai's words. Although there are many contradictions between the two, it is precisely because of this contradiction that it is easier for people to see the truth of the matter. Listening to the two of them insisting on each other, everyone was a little embarrassed, and they didn't know how to untie the knot.

Chen Yuanwai didn't look at Lu Boldly, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, Lord Zhixian can make ten thousand big households bow their heads, what does this mean?" Is there any room for hesitation? ”

"And you haven't heard? The magistrate is just taking a concubine this time, not marrying a wife, and the main room of the family has already been decided. ”

"Huh!"

Although Chen Yuanwai's tone and attitude were not good, when he suddenly heard this, everyone took a breath of cold air. Fan Yuan couldn't help but say, "Chen Yuanwai, can that matter be taken seriously?" ”

"Oh! If you don't want to take it seriously, don't take it seriously! ”

Seeing that he finally shocked everyone, Chen Yuanwai didn't sell anyone's face, and once again showed the noble expression of a scholar.

However, this time, no one spoke ill of Chen Yuanwai again, and even Lu Daring no longer targeted Chen Yuanwai. Old man Zhan, who still runs a restaurant, is familiar with the world, looked at Fan Yuan and said, "Manager Fan, haven't you already asked people to go to Beijing to inquire about the news?" Why hasn't there been any news yet? ”

"This ,......"

Fan Yuan hesitated and said, "I believe that I am not the only one here who wants to let people go to Beijing to find out the news!" But it doesn't matter if there is good news or bad news, if there is news, things should be responded to quickly. But now it's the strangest that there is no response, have any of you received the exact news? ”

After Fan Yuan's words, everyone's expressions froze, even Chen Yuanwai was no exception.

If the matter is false, there will definitely be reprimands from the palace, and even people will be sent to seize the official and reprimand. But if it is true, the news will definitely be transmitted quickly.

What makes everyone feel embarrassed now is that there is no news coming back, and why is there no news coming back? A person may not have a way and not go the right way, but it is impossible for everyone to have no way and not go to the right road!

Looking at each other, Chen Yuanwai stood up and said, "Forget it, it's useless for us to think here anyway, Manager Fan, you can get me a silver ticket of two hundred taels first!" ”

"Okay, but it's really two hundred taels? Isn't it a hundred taels? ”

Fan Yuan's words not only made Chen Yuanwai freeze, but also stunned everyone. When everyone looked at him again, Chen Yuanwai shook his head and said: "Forget it, two hundred taels is two hundred taels, no matter whether it is a big household or a magistrate, no one can afford to provoke us." ”

"But what about next time? There is also a Sister You in the back. Fan Yuan said unwillingly.

If there is only one two hundred taels, Fan Yuan will not worry too much, he can squeeze it out, and he will be busy for a year. But not only does Bai Huahua already have a Sister You behind her, who knows if there are other women in the county.

Once this matter is made into a conventional rule by Yi Huan, not only Fan Yuan, but I am afraid that no one present will be able to stand it.

When everyone showed their expressions of concern, the corners of Chen Yuanwai's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with disdain: "Sister You? If the news in Beijing is not confirmed, do you think Wan Dahu will really marry Sister You to Lord Zhixian? And once the news is confirmed, either the magistrate is completely finished, or we will bow to the magistrate with Wan Dahu. ”

“…… Or what else could you think? ”

As Chen Yuanwai left the last sentence and left, everyone stopped squeaking. Even Old Man Zhan tore up Wan Dahu's IOU on the spot, and then went to Fan Yuan to get a silver ticket of two hundred taels. Although there are not too many people who carry the IOUs of Wanda households with them from time to time like Old Man Zhan, almost no one will be surprised by Old Man Zhan's actions.

Not only Xingcheng County is Xingcheng County with ten thousand households, but once the magistrate of the county really has a relationship with Princess Daming, it will be a matter of time before he is promoted, and there is no need for them to worry about it at all.
