Chapter 54: The Scheme
"Do you think our relationship is that good? Bring me money every time you come? She just came to me to show how much money her shop was making. But no matter how rich she is, she is just a businessman with no status and no status. Su Wanqing couldn't help but feel a little more sarcastic in her words.
"There's something I want to discuss with you, and you know that I was also promoted to Zhongwu Lieutenant because of my uncle's affairs. Not long ago, I found a better way, as long as I can take out more silver, I can be promoted to three levels in a row.
You also know that our house is already beyond our means, where is the money to make ends meet? So...... I want you to borrow some from my eldest cousin, and how about I pay her back when I get promoted and have the money? ”
Song Mingjie's rare tone was gentle, and he sat on the chair and looked at Su Wanqing expectantly.
Su Wanqing had never seen him so polite and gentle to herself, and the grievances she had suffered in the past few months came to her heart, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and choked up.
Song Mingjie knew that there was a play, so he touched the back of her hand with one hand, and his tone was even softer: "Ling'er, I knew that I was wrong before, and I was sorry for you." But I also listened to my mother's words so I had to stay away from you, the Song family is already like this, if something happens because I am close to you, then I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you, so I can only send you home.
I am the only man left in the second room, only if I have a future, can you keep your status, right? Ling'er, your eldest sister's shop is making money every day, she has a lot of silver in her hand, you are her only sister, if you open your mouth to her, she will not refuse. ”
"If I help you, how will you repay me?"
"If you can help me and help me smooth sailing in my career, then the rumors added to you will be self-defeating, and I will not live up to you when the time comes."
"I want you to hand over the Wang clan to me and let me dispose of it." Su Wanqing knew it was time to make conditions.
Song Mingjie's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, but he nodded quickly.
"I promise you."
The next day, Su Muling packed up and was about to go out to the shop, when Su Wanqing came to the door to ask to see her.
Su Muling knew that she was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early. Sure enough, after a few polite words, Su Wanqing began to cry about how difficult her life was in the Song family, and said that Song Mingjie was ostracized and depressed, and hoped that the eldest sister could reach out to help.
“…… It costs 100,000 taels, and your shop earns more than this in a month, for you it's just a little silver in your fingers, it's a good opportunity for us to turn over, eldest sister? ”
Su Wanqing hid her past edge and begged in a low voice.
"The second sister seems to have forgotten, I am the Su family, what does the Song family have to do with me? Don't say it's 100,000 taels, even one or two are also from the Su family. ”
Su Muling did not forget that in the previous life, Su Wanqing turned the Su family upside down in order to please Song Mingjie, and finally found out the map that made the Su family develop and gave it to Song Mingjie, and like her mother, she had a good relationship with Song Mingjie, and after being discovered, she killed her girl Xichun and her son-in-law at that time.
The daughter born to the Yuan family is the same as the Yuan family, and she is ruthless and insatiable.
"Eldest sister, I know that the Su family's silver has nothing to do with the Song family, otherwise I borrowed it. How is it? ”
Su Wanqing was attentive when she came, she only said that she wanted silver and did not say that she borrowed it. She still had a glimmer of hope that she could get the silver for nothing, after all, 100,000 taels was really nothing to the Su family. Now seeing that Su Muling didn't do it, she relieved herself and offered to borrow it.
Su Muling remained silent: "Borrow? It's okay to borrow, but what do you want to use as collateral? ”
What the? Su Wanqing was stunned.
Mortgage? Borrowing is borrowing, and taking something to pay? She hadn't thought about it.
"Second sister, the Su family is now my home, my father handed over the house to me, and I have to manage it wholeheartedly. If you want to borrow money without collateral, this ...... I'm afraid not. ”
Su Muling picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at Su Wanqing's reaction coldly.
"Eldest sister, if it's not for the Song family, is it for the sake of my face as the second lady of the Su family?" Su Wanqing held on to the last ray of hope.
Su Muling smiled: "Second Miss of the Su family? The name of the second miss of the Su family has been removed from the Su family since the day you got married, and the daughter who got married spilled the water. The reason why I still have a relationship with you is just for the sake of you being your father's daughter, second sister, I want you to find out your identity! After saying that, I didn't say much, and let people send off guests.
Su Wanqing was humiliated by Su Muling, and after returning to the Song family and beating the magpie hard, she was able to temporarily calm down the evil breath in her heart.
The magpie is Su Wanqing's dowry girl, and when she first came to Song's house, she was opened by Song Mingjie and made a roommate.
Su Wanqing, who was alone in the empty room, was naturally angry, she was carried in a sedan chair by her child, but for a few months, she hadn't even touched her husband's body, and the funny thing was that the girl next to her was accepted by her husband.
Whenever she saw the magpie coming out of Song Mingjie's house in shame, Su Wanqing didn't let her feel better, either beating or scolding.
Song Mingjie was silent after hearing that Su Muling was going to mortgage, Su Wanqing was afraid that he would think he was useless, so he hurriedly told him another idea he came up with on the way home, Song Mingjie's eyes flashed with excitement after hearing it.
"If this is done, I will give you the Wang family right away, and you can dispose of it."
……
A few days later, Su Wanqing sent a letter to Su Muling, wanting to have a meal with her eldest sister.
Su Muling was trying to see what else she could do, and when the shop closed, she took the pomegranate with her.
When she arrived at the 'Junxiangju' restaurant that she had made an appointment, Su Wanqing had already asked for a table of wine and food waiting for her.
personally helped Su Muling sit down, and poured tea with her own hands, Su Wanqing opened her mouth and said business.
"I went back and told my husband that the eldest sister had to take things as collateral before she could borrow money. The husband said that this should be done, but I didn't have the knowledge to make the eldest sister laugh. ”
As she spoke, a lean woman came over and handed her a delicate box.
Su Wanqing opened the box and put it on the table, and sent it to Su Muling: "This is the Song family's house deed and title deed." Quang Binh Houfu is in the most prosperous area in the south of the city, in the middle of a powerful family. Although the Song family has a small population, the house is not small, and the two mansions plus the Zhuangzi outside the city are also worth 100,000 taels, right? ”
Su Muling knew that the Song family was short of money, but she didn't expect that Song Mingjie would use the deed as a mortgage in exchange for the silver in her hand, which was not something in the previous life, and Song Mingjie's usual trick was an empty glove white wolf.
She couldn't help but sneer: Maybe in the last life, he met himself who was the best talker.
Su Muling picked up the deed, glanced at it, and threw it in the box.
"Take this for silver, the Song family's big house agrees?"
"The big house is still living on our second room, and they dare to have opinions if they contribute something to the second room."
What Su Wanqing said was true. Since Uncle Guangping was cut off and assigned to the North Pole, the old and young in the big house are left to take action. The second room has a heart, but it is also afraid of being criticized by the world, so he has to allocate some money to maintain the daily life of the big house.
Now, for the sake of the future of the Song family, if the big house dares not to take out the title deed, the second house will dare to cut off their rations for a lesson.
"In this case, let me prepare, after all, the shop in the capital has only been open for a long time, I have to prepare for such a large amount of silver, you take it back first, and when I prepare the silver, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
After Su Muling finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Su Wanqing.
Su Wanqing sat down with Xiaoxiao, poured a glass of water and wine and put it in front of her: "Eldest sister, since you are here, there is no reason to leave without eating." Although our two sisters say that they don't get along very well on weekdays, they can't write two Sulai in one stroke. In the past, my mother and I couldn't stand you, but now that my mother is gone, the two of us are the closest people. With the eldest sister's money, when my husband has a good future, my eldest sister and I will have to communicate frequently. ”
The implication is that the Song family has gained momentum and will not forget Su Muling.
Su Muling didn't know where she was thinking. It's just a preparation for the next time I ask for money. This officialdom investment is a bottomless pit, how can there be a reason to succeed once? She wanted to see how the Song family was rising.
After coming to the meal, Su Muling sat down, did not drink, picked up the chopsticks and put the food in his mouth.
When Su Wanqing saw her sit down, she was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to make vegetables for her.
Su Muling only said that she was trying to please herself, and she didn't care.
While making vegetables for her, Su Wanqing began to inquire casually about the situation of the Su family. I heard that my father lifted my aunt, and the two of them lived a very happy and moist life, and my heart suddenly felt like frying, but I blamed my mother for not being able to do it, and let my eldest sister grasp the handle and fall to this point, and it also hurt that I couldn't go back to my home.
Out of the restaurant, it was already dark.
Calling the carriage from home, Su Muling just wanted to go in. was stopped by Su Wanqing: "I'll personally send the eldest sister back, and the eldest sister will take my car." ”
"No, I'll just go back myself."
"Eldest sister, after coming to the Song family, I learned that only my own family will be good to my family, I want to get close to the eldest sister and send the eldest sister back, the eldest sister won't even allow the second sister's request, right?"
Su Wanqing's low-pitched appearance made Su Muling very unaccustomed, but it was very useful.
Su Muling glanced at the Song family's carriage, which was much more spacious and luxurious than hers. didn't bother with her much, walked to the front of the car and got into the carriage. Su Wanqing then followed, and Pomegranate had to sit in her own car and take the lead.
Along the way, Su Wanqing began to chat. It's all about the things that happened to her in the Song family. Su Muling didn't look at her either, closed her eyes and recuperated, who knew that she fell asleep after a while.
Su Wanqing was speaking energetically, but seeing that Su Muling did not respond with her eyes closed, she called the eldest sister twice but did not respond. She lifted the curtain and said a few words to the groom, who, after walking a little further, quickly slipped into a small alley. And the pomegranate sitting in the carriage in front of him did not notice it, and went all the way down the street to the house.
A quarter of an hour later, the Song family's carriage stopped in front of a house. I knocked on the door and came out of the yard with a small servant.
Su Wanqing instructed him: "Go and tell the second master that someone is coming." ”
