Chapter 037: Is it good to send your brother-in-law to join the army?
It was after noon that the two debt collectors from yesterday were invited. After being trained by Fu Zhuoyi's little servant, when these two people were invited, they didn't believe that they were asked to pay back the money, and their hearts were full of fear.
After arriving, seeing that there was no one else in the house, he put down the stone in his heart and immediately raised his tone, "I can warn you, you asked me to come and collect money, if there is no money to give, don't blame me for raiding your house." ”
Liu just wanted to speak, but seeing that Wei Xuan was now in charge of the house, he glanced at him, so he choked on his words, but the rich one was grandpa.
Jiang Feng muttered a few words on the side, but he didn't dare to say it.
Wei Xuan didn't procrastinate, he took out sixty taels of silver ingots from the money bag and pushed them aside, "This is the sixty taels that my brother owes, you take the IOU and take the money away." ”
It is rare to see a cheerful person, and the beard is also refreshing, he took out an IOU and slapped it on the table, wiped the sixty taels of silver ingots next to him in his pocket, and was about to leave, Wei Xuan called them.
Chu Jianniang listened to the voice, and her body, which was already sitting crookedly, straightened up.
The people in the room, together with the two debt collectors, were still puzzled, so Wei Xuan pushed the remaining money on the table forward and said lightly:
"There are still forty taels here, and the two of them will go back to talk to the master in the same field, and if they meet my brother in the future, I hope to invite him out."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng really glared at Wei Xuan.
Liu was also surprised, but thought it was a good thing.
The bearded man frowned tightly, thinking: What kind of style is this?
"We open our doors to do business, how can we drive people out? His legs are long on him, he will come if he loves it, and we can't force it if he doesn't come, right? The bearded man said.
Wei Xuan smiled disappreciatively, "I heard that the imperial court has some bans on gambling horse farms, but if someone reports to the government, the government will definitely check it out." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's not interesting, my family is poor, and if I let my brother go to the defeated family, even if I sell the ancestral house, I can't afford it, and you will have to work hard to collect debts. These forty taels are not much, just because they bothered the two brothers to help at that time, and one less guest in the field would not have much less business. Wei Xuan said, took the money, got up and handed over the forty taels.
The bearded man hesitated slightly, his eyes moved up and down, and he fell on the silver ingot and pondered for a moment, and saw that the white-faced mouse next to him gave a look, as if he was a little tempted, and after thinking about it, he reached out and took it.
"That'...... Okay. ”
"Thank you two brothers, oh, I still have a portrait of my brother here, and by the way, I bother the two brothers to go back and make a notice and post it." As he spoke, Wei Xuan took out a roll of drawing paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it out.
Wei Xuan acted like this, not to mention that Jiang Feng was stupid, even the bearded and white-faced scholars were also stunned. After collecting debts for so many years, I have encountered all kinds of strange people, and this is the first time I have seen this trick today, how ruthless is this? In order to prevent his brother from going out to gamble, he also painted a portrait of someone and posted it, and he rushed to see it.
Although Liu agreed with Wei Xuan to let the people in the gambling arena ventilate and not let Jiang Feng enter the gambling arena, it was a bit too much to post a portrait.
"Da Lang, you ...... Wouldn't it be a little ...... Passed? ”
Chu Jianniang looked at it at this moment, her eyes were wide, Wei Xuan was better than her, and she could come up with this bad trick.
Jiang Yu also glared, and said the word "powerful" in his heart.
Old man Wei, who had been secretly watching, couldn't stop nodding, almost clapped his hands, and said straightly: This method is good, see if this beast can't go out to gamble in the future!
"Brother Xuan, you ...... There's no need for this, all over the world, except for wanted prisoners, portraits will be posted everywhere, are you going too far? It's a big deal that I don't want to gamble in the future. Jiang Feng poked out the words.
Wei Xuandang looked back at him as softly and friendly as a brother, "Brother Feng, I'm doing this for your good." You seem to think that I am so good to you, but in fact I want to pull you back, so that you don't make bigger mistakes in the future, harm the innocent, harm your parents, and you have to reflect on it. ”
Jiang Feng's temper almost came up again, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and this sounded ...... How is it so ...... Familiar?
Chu Jianniang rolled her eyes, she didn't have anything to do, and pulled up her sleeves disapprerovantly.
Jiang Feng originally wanted to say a few more words, but the Liu family couldn't see it, so he desperately suppressed him, thinking that he had caused this disaster himself, who was to blame? He deserves it.
A few cursed words came out, and Jiang Feng was annoyed by the scolding, but he could only hold his breath, not saying a word, and let it go.
This is the end of the matter of the little uncle.
After saying this, there is still a matter of coercion with knives on that end! Wei Xuan knew everything clearly, and just threw out the words "see the official mansion" at the two of them, and then frightened the bearded and white-faced rats with weak knees, knelt in front of Chu Jianniang and Jiang Yu, and kowtowed again and again to apologize, saying that they would be their aunts and sisters-in-law when they saw them in the future.
Chu Jianniang counted, this person kowtowed more than ten heads, and she almost couldn't sit still. But it's hard to be treated like this, not to mention how high the shelf in my heart is......
After sending the creditor away, the people in the house were relieved and let go of a big breath, and in a blink of an eye, they all went their own ways, and Chu Jianniang didn't let go in her heart.
The money Wei Xuan gave out didn't come out of thin air like this, and one hundred taels was really not a small amount for a person like them. Seeing that no one was there, he pulled him in private and asked why.
Wei Xuan said that he had redeemed the money in the silver village, which was not enough, and asked Fu Zhuoyi to borrow some money, and he made up enough for one hundred and two wholes, as for how much he borrowed, Wei Xuan was afraid that she would worry too much, so he didn't say. In short, in the end, I still owe foreign debts.
Chu Jianniang was anxious for him, "If that's the case, when will you be able to pay back the money?" When will the expedition continue? And these people in the family also have to be raised, how can there be more money? When he asked, he did not wait for anyone to answer, and said:
"I see that now is also the beginning of the spring silkworm, when I was a girl, I went to the house of Da Zhuangzitou to help pick spring mulberry, a pound of mulberry leaves in exchange for a few dollars, why don't I ask people again, see if you still want to pick mulberry Niang, to earn a few is a few."
Wei Xuan saw that she was like an ant on a hot pot, and he had made a decision, and he couldn't help laughing for a moment, and stretched out his hands to put them on her shoulders to stabilize her.
"Lady, what are you doing so worried, it will make people sad, and your husband and I can still make money, after all, there are still more than two years before the next spring, and we will be able to earn enough, don't worry, don't let you go outside to pick mulberry leaves."
"How much can you earn alone? Count your heart as great. Chu Jianniang muttered, and muttered again: "I look at our family like this, maybe it was you who pressed the coffin last time." It's all a bad thing! ”
Hearing this, Wei Xuan pinched her ears, "Look at your clever little ghost, when do you still believe this?" ”
"I don't believe it, but ......" thought for a moment, "or let's believe it, anyway, Uncle Li's first seven is almost here, go and burn some paper money for her, or I go to the Land Temple and worship you." Chu Jianniang came over with a serious face.
Wei Xuan's eyes widened, and his face darkened.
"It's better to believe what you have than not to believe in what you don't have."
Wei Xuan's eyes widened, he opened his mouth to say something, and after he took a breath, he sighed again, turned around and walked out of the room, "Silly lady." ”
Chu Jianniang: "......"
Of course, Chu Jianniang was just talking, and she didn't really go.
During the afternoon dinner, Wei Xuan brought up Jiang Feng's matter again, saying that Jiang Feng's seven tricks were smoking, and Liu's fart didn't dare to put one, and Old Man Wei ate it well.
Chu Jianniang could see that he was going to completely rectify his little uncle before he stopped today.
I saw the square chopsticks in Wei Xuan's hand stretched out, calmly went to the vegetable bowl and sandwiched a piece of meat, and sent it to Liu's bowl, and said: "Mother, I inquired outside, now the imperial court is increasing the number of recruits and expanding the military camp, I see that Brother Feng's physique is very suitable, and I want to ask someone to recommend him to the past, and ask you and Brother Feng's opinion?" ”
"Going to join the army!?" Liu's chopsticks were stunned, and Fang was still thinking, why did Wei Xuan pick up vegetables for her?
Hearing this, Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu were stunned, feeling that they had heard it wrong.
Old man Wei pulled the rice and interjected coldly, "It's good to join the army, serve the country, the glory of the family, not bad." ”
"What's good?" Liu's face twisted, "How bitter this is!" Feng'er is a person who has suffered hardships? It's not like you don't know! If you want to let him follow people to business, that's pretty much the same! ”
Now the old man Wei felt a headache when he heard that he was going to be a businessman, and he instantly lifted his face buried in the rice bowl out, and looked at Liu with contempt: "Are you still thinking about going to business?" Look, what kind of business did he go? I almost didn't lose my home! ”
There is no refutation of these words, Liu was angry, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and pursed his face, "Anyway, I don't agree with him to join the army." ”
Jiang Feng held chopsticks and followed the vote: "I won't go either." ”
Although Jiang Yu was stunned, it had nothing to do with her after all, looking at it from both sides, she felt that it was good to join the army.
Wei Xuan also looked at both sides, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then picked up the money that he had planned for it and worked hard, and said without hurry:
"Mother, Brother Feng, even though joining the army is hard, there are more opportunities to study hard than ten years in the cold window, you see that over the years, not only have I spent money and things, but I haven't even had the opportunity to get one. This is my own reasoning. But joining the army is different. ”
