Chapter 7 Repayment of Debts (4)

In the lower room in the outer courtyard of the waiting house, the pot had already exploded.

"Quick, in charge, while there is no curfew, hurry up and let the second boy go to the second uncle in the eastern suburbs to borrow silver. The eldest lady came to the spring rain girl in front of her and said that as long as you get together the money to sell yourself, you can get out of the house, but it can't be too much worse than what the human tooth gives. A fat middle-aged woman ran out of breath and shouted as she stood in the doorway.

Her husband is Xiao Da, the steward of the stables, and he had heard from the stewards before that the court did not sell them, and it was still the Lan family who was in charge of disposing of them. Now this capital knows that there are 2.8 million arrears in their mansion, and everyone in the mansion is in danger.

When Xiao Da heard this, he asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true?" ”

Xiao Da immediately closed the door, ran into the small kitchen, picked up the shovel and dug the ground, and after a while, he dug out a small burden. He took out a title deed and a wrench from his baggage, and handed it to his second son Xiao Sheng behind him: "You take it and go to your second uncle, he works as a shopkeeper in a restaurant, if he can't eat, let him help get rid of it." ”

This wrench was given to him by a nobleman back then, because he took good care of the horses and received a reward.

The land deed of the 20 acres of paddy fields in the suburbs was placed in the early years, and I thought that after two years, the two younger sons would be redeemed and let them have an inheritance.

Xiao Sheng took these things, and felt that they were as heavy as a thousand catties, he had been on an errand in the house for a few years, and he also knew the temperament of the eldest wife: "Dad, how much silver do these have to sell?" The eldest lady won't raise the price indiscriminately, right? ”

Xiao Sheng sighed: "At least two hundred taels!" This paddy field cost two hundred taels when it was originally purchased, and this wrench is worth at least one hundred taels of silver. ”

The eldest family of four, plus the two old men, as well as the second son and the third son, a total of eight people, the redemption silver is barely enough, I am afraid that there is a shortage of money in the house, once the redemption silver is increased, their family may be difficult to tidy.

On the other side, a young man of about 20 years old followed his family and explained his decision.

"Lin Zi, you actually want to go back with their family?" The old woman couldn't believe her ears, "They are already commoners, and you still follow them back to Youzhou?" You are crazy? ”

Lin Zi looked at his two younger sisters, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, the house owes two million 800,000 taels of silver, and the spring equinox girl said just now that it can't be much less than what people give by people's teeth." I have inquired that if the two younger sisters of this age and appearance were sold to that filthy land, they might each be able to sell them for fifty taels of silver. ”

Lin Ziniang covered her chest and looked at her two daughters who were crying in fright, not only sadly: "How can this make people live?" ”

Lin Zi continued: "Dad is still sick, and this medicine costs a lot. There are less than ten taels of silver in the family, even if the old lady is kind-hearted and does not have much money to redeem herself, it is difficult for us to make up enough for these dozens of taels of silver. We have spent all our money, we have to pay our debts, and we will have to sell ourselves into slavery. In that case, it's better to give it a go! There shouldn't be many men who are willing to go with me, and I may be able to mix things up in the future. ”

Lin Zi's words did not comfort the old man, and Lin Zi's father coughed violently: "No, I don't agree, Lin Zi, you ...... Ahem. ”

Lin Ziniang: "They have offended the emperor, aren't you guilty of going with them?" ”

Lin Zi shook his head: "The old lady can say at this time that let's redeem ourselves, it's still a good master's house." For my sake, for the sake of going back with them, you may be properly accommodated. ”

"Brother, don't go." The eight-year-old brother stepped forward and took Lin Zi's hand.

Lin Zi's heart warmed, and he touched his head: "Er Linzi, you are the male in the family, you have to take care of your father and sisters, and when your brother makes money, he will marry you a daughter-in-law." ”

"Wow, I don't want a daughter-in-law, brother, don't go......" The younger brother hugged Lin Zi and cried.

Youzhou is a terrible synonym for them.

Lin Zi's father hated that he had no ability, he could only do some rough work, his monthly money was small, and he usually had no chance to make oil and water, and his family couldn't make up all the money.

Lin Zi knew that once he couldn't make up the money, the first to be sold would definitely be his two younger sisters, and he didn't want his sisters to end up like that. He is the eldest son in the family, and he must take on the responsibility.

Besides, it's just going to Youzhou, not to fight! When the Lan family settles down in Youzhou, he may be able to be a steward.

Lan Rongqi has two rooms, one is Lan Rongqi's maid Chunfei, and the other is the bridal maid Mi'er brought by the Zhao family.

Mi'er: "What Biling said just now is true?" We really don't have to redeem our money to leave? Give us twenty taels of silver as a dowry? ”

Chunfei is the son of a family, and since she served Lan Rong since she was a child, she thought that she could be an aunt, but Zhao's methods are too powerful, and she gave birth to three children in a row, and her mother's family is powerful. So she can't even get an aunt, and she has always been a roommate.

Chun Fei didn't expect the old lady to be so generous, the old lady's methods in the past were very powerful!

"There are only two of us in the big house, four of us in the third room, and two aunts, according to the old lady's meaning, we don't have to redeem the silver and pay the dowry. I don't think the old lady wants to take us. "Chunfei's father is a small steward in the outer courtyard, she doesn't want to go to Youzhou with her, and live under the nose of the eldest wife, it is better to let her father and mother arrange another marriage.

Mi'er had a bitter face: "I'm afraid that the eldest lady won't let her go." ”

Chun Fei shook her head: "This matter was said by Bi Ling in person, it can be seen that the old lady doesn't want the eldest lady to interfere, if you really want to leave, you have to seize this opportunity." ”

Mi'er was very entangled: "But I ......"

Chunfei was impatient to continue talking to her, she was anxious to send a message to her father!

The Tongfang and aunts of the big and third rooms did not give birth to children, so they naturally didn't want to go to Youzhou with them, and with the twenty taels of silver given by the old lady, relying on their father and brother, it was better than begging for a life with a powerful wife. Besides, the Lan family is degraded and in debt, so down, a fool will follow them to Youzhou!

In the end, as Lu Yingfang wished, the aunt and the Tongfang all chose to leave the Lan family, and they also contributed a wave of merit points. Great, the fewer people, the better!

An hour and a half later, the open space in the middle of the house was full of people. Bright torches lit all around, and the lanterns in the corridor were next to each other, illuminating the expressions of the more than a hundred servants in the courtyard clearly.

Lu Yingfang: Dear, let's discuss.

- Hey, the host called me 'dear', and suddenly I didn't feel used to it. Inexplicably, I felt the cold wind swishing.

Aren't you a machine? Can you still feel the cold wind?

Lv Yingfang: I want to know who has contributed merit points, so many people, I want to see it for myself, so that I can finish the work quickly, and the merit points can be collected by you immediately.

- Huh? What do you mean without me reading it, you see their gratitude to you directly?

Lv Yingfang: You are so smart, it is really the most powerful system, come on, let me see for myself how many merit points they give.

- Can you refuse?

Lu Yingfang: No, hurry up and give me this ability, I promise to let you earn a lot of merit.

- Oh well! In the future, you will be given this permission, and you can directly see the merit points obtained.

Lu Yingfang cleared her throat: "Everyone knows the situation in the house, our family is going to Youzhou, and if you are willing to follow us, you will come forward." If you don't want to, I'll set you free. ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet people began to be a little noisy again, although everyone was ready, but once there was really a family to follow to Youzhou, the others were reluctant.

Some people stepped forward one after another, the porter Cai Laotou and his family of three, the maid Xing'er, Kan'er and Biling. The young men were Qiu Da, Jiao Er, and Lin Zi.

Lu Yingfang clearly saw that there were Arabic numerals on the top of their heads. The top of Biling's head is a red 7. The little girl next to her is 5. The subordinate who did not stand up contributed some merit points at this time, and probably deeply felt the call of freedom ahead, and was grateful!

- At present, the people of the whole government have contributed 156 merit points.

- Beep, the novice completes the first 100% merit point and can open the mall.

A huge blue screen appeared in front of Lu Yingfang's eyes, just like a Taobao interface, with all kinds of items in it, and the price below.

- In order to let you get used to this interface, I deliberately adjusted it to a Taobao-like function, so that you can easily check it. Don't be too impressed, don't be too grateful to me, this is what this system should do.

Lu Yingfang just glanced at it and found that there were only three items that could be bought with a hundred merit points, a powerful Titan Pill, which lasted for an hour. A nutrient solution for six hours. One painkiller pill can relieve pain for ten hours.

Apart from these three, the rest of the items are comparable in price to the diamond level. opened the mall interface, just to tell her that the items in it are super expensive, and she must work hard to earn merit points?

- By the way, I forgot to tell you all the time, because you are a newbie, and you will earn double the merit points during these three months, which may be more difficult in the future!

You've forgotten a lot! Lu Yingfang can only hehe, and she can't drag the system out and whip the corpse. Wait for her to deal with the matter in front of her, and then slowly study the mall!

At this time, the white steward led two people into the side door, and the stewards who stood close recognized at a glance that the two people in front of them were famous people. The man walking in front was Wu Liu, and the middle-aged woman following behind was Liu Niangzi.

The slaves were uneasy, as if they were animals to be slaughtered, and they would be dragged out at any moment.

"Old lady, thank you for taking care of the contemptible business, Wu will definitely give a fair price." Although Wu Liu called "old lady" in his mouth, he was not ambiguous in his actions of bending down and bowing.

Mrs. Liu also stepped forward and saluted: "If the old lady hadn't sent someone, the slave family wouldn't have thought that they would come over in time for the curfew, thank you old lady." ”

Lu Yingfang decided to settle the affairs of her subordinates tonight, the matter of debts tomorrow morning, and the matter of the trip tomorrow afternoon. So she said simply: "You two Lao, please follow me into the side hall!" ”
