Chapter 267: Lack of Silver
When Xia Xiaomei said this, she swept away the melancholy and abrupt look in front of her, her eyebrows were high, the corners of her mouth were flying, and she clenched her fists and said to Han Qi with high morale,
"Hu Xian'er can't beat me in the academy, and she will still be a head shorter than me when she enters the palace in the future, and I will press her for the rest of my life, so that she will never be able to turn over!"
The corners of Han Qi's mouth twitched, and she secretly sympathized with Hu Xian'er in her heart.
"I don't know how she cultivated in her last life, and she was unlucky enough to meet Sister Xia in this life!"
The two of them talked and laughed here for half an hour, and Qingyan came in to report,
"Miss, Uncle said that you asked you to invite the third lady to the front hall for dinner!"
Xia Xiaomei got up and pulled Han Qi and said,
"After talking about it for a while, I'm really hungry, let's go to the front for dinner!"
This compartment led Han Qixing to rush to the front hall, Xia Hong and his wife, Xia Wenyao and Xia Wenbin and his wife had already arrived, Xia Xiaomei and Han Qi stepped forward to salute, two tables were set up in the main hall, and two seats for men and women were divided.
Jiang smiled and said to Han Qi,
"I'll cook it myself today, and I'll use it more later!"
Han Qi hurriedly saluted and thanked her, Xia Xiaomei pulled her and smiled,
"You don't have to be polite in this house, my mother praises you for being well-behaved and obedient, and reading well, and I can't wait for you to be like her, but I like you!"
Han Qi blushed with shame,
"How can you be so praised by a lady!"
When Jiang saw his daughter's smile like a flower, he was happy in his heart and said to Han Qi,
"The third sister has to come over often, our little sister is not as happy to see anyone as she is to see you, you are here, she will be much more cheerful!"
Han Qi smiled and nodded,
"I have to come over to accompany Sister Xia when I have time in the future, I'm just afraid that I will disturb Madame!"
Jiang Shi smiled,
"How can it be a nuisance, it's too late for me to rejoice!"
Saying that, he came over and pulled Han Qi to sit down,
"What Xiaomei said is also good, I just hated that I gave birth to two, but I have a third son, I must let him marry you into the door and come to accompany me!"
Han Jun heard the words on the side, and said angrily,
"Mother is not greedy, I still want my third sister, then my mother is the most affectionate in the family, you can do it to leave an obedient and caring one for her old man!"
Jiang Shi pointed at her and smiled when he heard this,
"You also know that you are a worry-free person!"
Han Jun went over to serve Jiang's meal, and said with a smug smile,
"Mother now knows that it's too late to be fooled! I'm going to pestering you in my life, and I can't get rid of it! ”
Jiang Shi was amused by her and laughed and said to Han Jun,
"You still look like a sister, and you're not afraid of your sister's jokes!"
Han Jun pretended to sigh and said,
"Laugh! I'm not afraid of her jokes, and I've made them laugh enough at home! ”
Jiang Shi smiled and pulled her to sit down, and then beckoned Zhou Shidao, who was standing on the side,
"It's all my own family, and there are not so many rules, so let's sit down and eat!"
Seeing the two daughters-in-law sitting down, Jiang glanced at the other seat, where the father and son were waiting for them, Xia Hong saw that everyone was sitting down, so he raised his chopsticks and said,
"Let's eat!"
After he put down his chopsticks, everyone started to eat.
Staying in Xia Mansion for dinner, Xia Wenbin and his wife sent Han Qi back to Wicker Alley, still as when they came, Han Jun threw her husband to sit in her own carriage, but she was sitting in the carriage of Han Mansion with her sister, and after getting into the car, her face immediately collapsed, and her hearty smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by a gloomy cloud, Han Qi knew that it was not good when she saw this,
"Second sister, what's the matter?"
Han Jun collapsed his face and said,
"Sure enough, as I guessed, there is no money in the family, let's think about it!"
Han Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this,
"That'...... How much silver is missing? ”
Han Jun responded,
"My father-in-law said, there are still three thousand taels of silver missing, let us borrow it with the eldest brother and his wife, and when the younger sister enters the palace, the emperor will have a reward, and it will be repaid at that time!"
In fact, it's hard to say whether this silver can be repaid!
Although Xia Xiaomei was crowned the queen, the emperor wanted to give a reward, but it was mostly some flashy things, and their family didn't dare to take them out and sell them, and they had to provide them well, as for whether the real money was more or less, it depended on the emperor's son-in-law's generosity!
Han Jun's troubled hand support cheek,
"The people your second brother-in-law knows are all noble scholars, how can you have three thousand taels of silver?"
After a pause,
"The big sister who bought the house in front of me is already a big sister and her parents, so it's hard to reach out to them again!"
She is a married daughter, and her parents have treated her well enough, and she will not have that face when she reaches out again!
Han Qi frowned and pondered for a moment and said,
"This ...... Maybe I can think of something! ”
Han Jun just didn't believe it when he heard this,
"You have a few coppers, I know, even if I sell you, I won't be able to get those silvers!"
Han Qi responded,
"Although I don't have any silver, but the second sister forgot? Many of the classmates in this academy are rich and noble, and three thousand taels of silver is a lot for us, but it is only a drop in the bucket for those classmates who are rich and noble......
Han Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he only hesitated later,
"This ...... I don't want to let you beg for someone because of my mother-in-law's affairs, and you will have to study in the academy in the future, you owe people money, and every day you see the creditor will be three points lower, I never want you to suffer this grievance! ”
Han Qidao,
"Then the second sister can't bear to let the second brother-in-law go to beg for help?"
Seeing that Han Jun couldn't bear it on his face, he smiled and said,
"The second brother-in-law is a big man, and he will become an official in the future, it is a loss of face to ask for talents everywhere, I am a little woman raised in a deep boudoir, even if she has no face and no one knows, and as long as the silver can be repaid on time, she is not the dishonest person, and what grievances will she suffer!"
Han Jun was a little moved by what Han Qi said, biting his lip and not speaking, Han Qi said again,
"I'm just talking about this, it's uncertain whether it can be done, after I go to the academy tomorrow to ask, I'll come back to the second sister's words!"
Han Jun nodded and said,
"Good! You go and ask, you can do it, but if there is a trace of reluctance in mortal families, you must not ask more! ”
"Second sister, don't worry!"
Naturally, Han Qi would not really borrow money from her classmates, she wanted to use the silver stored here by Wei Wu, and when she returned to Han's Mansion, she took out the voucher for storing the silver in front of her, and sighed with Tao Li,
"I didn't want to touch his money before, but now I have to!"
Tao Li Yingdao,
"Miss, this is also a last resort, I want to come to Wei Ye to know and I won't blame you!"
Han Qi sighed softly,
"It's because he doesn't blame me that I feel more and more uneasy!"
I was only uneasy in my heart, there was no way to do it at this time, but Han Qi had also thought about it, and the three thousand taels of silver could not all be taken out from the second sister, and the Xia family had to think of it by themselves!
So on the second day, he went to talk to Han Jun,
"I can borrow 1,500 taels of silver......
Han Jun was overjoyed when he heard this,
"I'm very grateful to be able to borrow 1,500 taels of silver......
At that moment, he asked for some money, and Han Qi responded,
"This is borrowed for the sake of classmates, wouldn't it hurt to talk about profits!"
Han Jun nodded and said,
"That's true, then let's thank them later!"
Han Qidao,
"I'll talk about it later, I'll send the silver to the second sister tomorrow, and the second sister just waits at home!"
Han Jun was overjoyed and sent his sister out, and saw the carriage of the Han Mansion go away, so he went back to Xia Wenbin with a happy face,
"It's still my own sister who is reliable, I talked about it yesterday, and today I gave a letter to Zhun, saying that I can borrow 1,500 taels of silver!"
Xia Wenbin is also worried about this matter, and he is also happy when he hears it.
"Thanks to the third sister, and thank her well!"
Han Jun snorted,
"Naturally, I want to thank you, not only my third sister, but also my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law!"
Xia Wenbin said busily,
"They treated us wonderfully, thank you! Thank you! ”
Han Jun snorted again
"It's better to be my own sister! The man who seems to be a son, on weekdays, curries favor in front of the second elder, but he works very hard for the hereditary title, but as soon as he asks for money, he hides aside......"
After that, he glanced at Xia Wenbin obliquely, and saw that his husband smiled embarrassedly, so he twisted his thin waist and went out!
Xia Wenbin turned his head to look at the book in his hand, and sighed heavily.
Yesterday, when my father talked about asking them to borrow money from outside, his eldest brother really only knew how to call it poor, saying that he was the most tired of the work of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, but he took the least amount of silver, and his colleagues and officials didn't have much oil and water.
In this regard, Xia Wenbin also felt that his eldest brother was doing things inappropriately, no wonder his wife was dissatisfied, and he thought of the house where he lived, and the family's debts still had to be thought of by the Yue family, and he felt that he had lost the majesty of his husband in front of his wife, and couldn't help but secretly say,
"And you have to study hard, and you will have to pass the exam next year!"
When you pass the exam, you will be able to go out to be an official, and your life will be much better with Yulu!
So I studied hard, and I forgot to sleep and eat very hard!
Another day, Han Qi got out of school, first went to the Shengping Money Village to exchange 1,500 taels of silver tickets, and entered the Qian Village.
"Third sister, are you here?"
Han Qi smiled and nodded,
"I heard you've been studying at home lately?"
Qian Zaiyou nodded, but when he talked about reading, he didn't like it.
"My husband is fierce, he wants me to go every day, and he will hit the palm of his hand later, and it hurts!"
In fact, the very favored young master in the family is too late to enlighten, most of the children are four or five years old, and the early three years old began to read, and this young master is the youngest son in the family, the first two brothers, one is twenty and two, one is eighteen, has already come out to take care of things, two big ones run around, leaving one of his youngest to be pampered by his grandmother and mother in the palm of his hand, until he is now seven or eight years old, he finally coaxed to sit down and read!
