Chapter 292: The Storm of Foreign Debt
At the end of the banquet, Luo Shuangyi returned to the palace with the reward.
Aunt Liu learned that Luo Shuangyi had been rewarded, and she was happy for her at first, but after learning about the puffer fish, her face became solemn, and she patted the back of Luo Shuangyi's hand: "Fortunately, this matter was resolved by you, if you are charged with murdering the royal family, the consequences will ...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”
"Mother, don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there will always be a solution to the problem, and the daughter will always be on guard, and she will not easily fall for other people's plans." Luo Shuangyi saw Aunt Liu's worries and comforted her softly.
She is no longer the Luo Shuangyi she used to be, and now she will be extra careful no matter what she does.
Aunt Liu had palpitations, especially when she saw the rewards on the table, she was even more panicked.
No longer staying in Luo Shuangyi's courtyard, she said a few words and left with lotus steps, leaving only Luo Shuangyi and Xiaoque standing in the courtyard.
Luo Shuangyi took the night pearl and looked at the light carefully, and said boredly: "Little bird, what do you think I have to do with these things?" One cannot be eaten as food, and the other cannot be spent as money. ”
"Miss, you can't say that. These gifts from the Queen Mother are priceless treasures. Xiaoque's face was full of envy, thinking that her young lady really didn't take the baby in her eyes, unlike her, but she felt that it was worth it when she was full of eyes.
Luo Shuangyi sighed: "What's the use of baby......" Halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered that she passed a pawnshop on the way back, her eyes were crooked, and she slapped the stone table and said, "There is!" ”
"What's up?" The little finch was puzzled.
"We can take these things to the pawnshop, or resell them, didn't you say that these things are worth a thousand gold, if you can......" Luo Shuangyi raised his eyebrows, thinking of the debt owed by his family, he couldn't help but feel that the road to repay the debt was long.
Xiaoque's face was embarrassed, although she was just a maid, but after staying in King Luo's Mansion for so many years, she still knew more or less the rules in the palace.
"This, this won't work! How can the Queen Mother's reward be sold so easily, in case it is investigated......" Xiao Finch's tone revealed worry.
Luo Shuangyi obviously didn't know the weight of the four words "Queen Mother's reward", and he was heartbroken for Luo Wangfu.
"Why not? The Queen Mother stays in the deep palace all the year round, will she still ask for the treasures she gave back? She thought that if she could sell these treasures, she would also be able to help the family share their worries, so that her father would not have to worry about paying off foreign debts.
was discussing with Xiaoque, Luo Shuangyi's head was suddenly knocked from behind, she covered her head and turned around, only to see Tang Shuzheng standing behind her with his hands in his hands.
"You are so bold that you dare to fight the idea of jewelry rewarded by the Queen Mother, huh?" Tang Shumo stared at her and lifted his robe and sat down.
Luo Shuangyi blushed at the sight of his eyes, and she raised her hand to brush the broken hair next to her ear: "The things rewarded by the Queen Mother are also put away." Besides, the Queen Mother will never be idle and bored enough to pay attention to the whereabouts of every item sent out in the palace, right? ”
"Naturally, this will not happen, but if you take the royal things to the pawnshop, the matter will soon spread throughout the capital, and then to the ears of the Queen Mother, and then the death penalty will be inevitable." Tang Shu's words were calm and light, but the expression on Luo Shuangyi's face gradually became serious, because she knew that what Tang Shu said was not a joke.
"Yes, why didn't I think that it is not impossible for the people in Beijing to reach the ears of the Queen Mother at a speed of one hundred transmissions." Luo Shuangyi was distressed, and lay on the table with his hands on his cheeks.
"Miss, don't be discouraged, don't you always say that there is nothing that can't be solved." The little finch made a reassuring sound.
"But there are some things that can only be solved with money." Luo Shuangyi touched the night pearl very preciously, and fantasized about exchanging this pearl for money.
"It's a pity, I originally wanted to use these to pay off my father's debts, but it seems that it is impossible. Little finch, you can take all these things, so that I don't have to worry about it. Luo Shuangyi simply put down the Night Pearl.
The finch nodded and took the things with her.
Tang Shu raised his hand and touched Luo Shuangyi's head, and his voice was clear: "There are many ways to repay debts." ”
"Do you have a way?" Luo Shuangyi looked at him without blinking.
Tang Shu looked smart, and his thin lips opened lightly: "Marry me, my money will belong to you, don't say that it is to repay debts when the time comes, it is a trivial matter for you to just want to buy Qianzhuang." ”
He was half teasing, half serious, the corners of Luo Shuangyi's mouth lifted slightly, rolled his eyes, and spit out two words clearly and slowly: "Heh, he." ”
It seems that sometimes Tang Shu's words can't be believed!
Tang Shu didn't take it to heart, took out a stack of IOUs from his arms, and handed them to Luo Shuangyi.
Luo Shuangyi took it, and when she saw that the IOU belonged to her family, she opened her eyes and looked at it carefully, and when she saw the date on the IOU clearly, Luo Shuangyi's brows couldn't help but twist together.
What's going on with her dad? Why haven't even the earliest debts been repaid? It shouldn't be!
Luo Shuangyi read the IOUs and found that they were all old debts from before, so she couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem with these IOUs?" ”
Tang Shu didn't answer, but said in a deep voice: "Give these IOUs to Lord Luo, and you will know the answer." ”
Luo Shuangyi took a deep breath, and the hand holding the IOU couldn't help but clench: "I'll go now." ”
Tang Shu grabbed her, and his tone was reluctant: "This is leaving?" ”
"Or else?" Luo Shuangyi looked at him puzzled, and seeing that his face was full of reluctance, she blinked, "Do you want to stay a little longer?" ”
Tang Shu complained: "I finally have a legitimate reason to see you, you took something and were about to leave, did you say you did the right thing?" ”
Luo Shuangyi was forced to look at him, his eyes were clean, and his eyes were as warm as a piece of jade glowing with fragrance.
She touched her little heart, which was beating hard, and felt that her conscience couldn't get over it, so she rolled her smart eyes: "Then you are waiting for me here." ”
Luo Shuangyi went to the small kitchen to find two plates of delicious snacks and brought them to Tang Shu: "I specially picked them for you, eat them." ”
Tang Shu took a piece without hesitation, in fact, he rarely eats sweets on weekdays, but seeing that Luo Shuangyi likes it, he also tries to like it.
Luo Shuangyi brought his face to Tang Shu, Tang Shu noticed that her black and thick eyelashes, her fair and soft cheeks were still tinged with a touch of pink, and her moist cherry mouth tempted the man to kiss Fang Ze at any time, he pursed his dry lips, realizing that he was thinking too much, picked up a piece of pastry and fed it to her, gently pushed Luo Shuangyi's face away, and urged: "Aren't you going to see Lord Luo?" Go ahead. ”
Luo Shuangyi was worried about the IOU, so he didn't think much about it, so he said goodbye to Tang Shu and came to the door of Lord Luo's study as quickly as possible.
"Father?" Luo Shuangyi stood outside the door and called.
Lord Luo responded, waited until Luo Shuangyi entered the house, put down the brush in his hand, and saw that she was preoccupied, and raised his eyelids slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Father, you can see whether these IOUs are true or false." Luo Shuangyi took a few steps forward and handed the IOU to Lord Luo.
Luo Wang Ye recognized it as an IOU at a glance, and wondered where Luo Shuangyi got so many IOUs, and then looked closely, what was recorded on it was the foreign debt owed by Luo Wangfu, and his face changed greatly.
Seeing the time on the IOU clearly, Lord Luo's eyebrows leaned closer to the middle, and he lowered his voice and asked:
"Where did you get these IOUs?"
"Father, my daughter has more important questions for you right now." Luo Shuangyi didn't answer the rhetorical question, and Lord Deluo nodded in agreement, and she asked out loud, "You really haven't paid off these debts?" ”
It stands to reason that the debt of a few years ago should have been paid off long ago, Luo Shuangyi felt strange in his heart.
"No, no." Lord Luo was emotional, and the fingers holding the teacup trembled violently, "On the contrary, these IOUs have already been repaid by my father, but now they are more out of thin air, this is really outrageous, outrageous!" ”
Luo Shuangyi glared slightly when he heard this, and said uncertainly: "Dad, take a closer look, are you sure you are not mistaken?" Are these IOUs debts that you have already repaid? ”
Lord Luo casually took one out of it and pointed to the date on the IOU: "Dad still remembers, that day, Dad just sent a silver ticket to Qianzhuang, and on the way back, the rain also infected the little half moon wind cold." ”
"This is the second day of your mother's birthday, the house received a lot of gifts, Dad let your mother pick some favorite gifts, and the rest were sold, and finally the money from the sale of gifts was used to pay off the debt." Lord Luo said vigorously, although it has been a long time since the incident, he still feels vivid when he mentions it again.
Luo Shuangyi frowned when she heard this, and when Lord Luo was about to continue, she opened her mouth to stop it, but there was a small flame in her heart.
No wonder the debts of the Luo Wangfu have not been repaid, and if the debts are repaid like this, it will only be a huge bottomless pit, and it will never be filled.
Her father remembered things so clearly that he would not have lied to her, but these IOUs that were regenerated out of thin air were really infuriating.
Lord Luo rubbed his sore eyebrows, and when he thought that he had been thrifty all these years, he had been treated as a monkey, and the expression on his face was very depressed.
"Daddy is stupid." He slapped the table in annoyance, his two thick eyebrows were stretched out in anger, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.
Luo Shuangyi was distressed when he saw this: "Father, I don't blame you for this matter, it's just the person who does things on the account!" Nian Fu is too greedy, and his daughter will never spare him! ”
"If it weren't for Dad's carelessness, this wouldn't have happened." Lord Luo blamed himself, but he didn't expect the debts owed by the palace to be repaid by his daughter in the end. He felt very annoyed in his heart, especially when he looked at the IOU.
Luo Shuangyi saw that Lord Luo was in a bad mood, and his brows couldn't help but lock.
She came here to ask the truth, and now that she has learned the truth of the matter, she also knows what to do next, seeing that Lord Luo blames herself, she comforts softly: "Father, don't be angry, if you are angry, you are in the arms of those people in the middle-aged Fu." ”
"That's how I don't get angry!" Lord Luo knocked on the bookcase, but he didn't expect Nian Fu to play this game with himself.
"Father, my daughter will take care of this matter, don't worry." After Luo Shuangyi finished speaking, he took the IOU and left angrily.
