Chapter 10 Repayment of Debts (7)
Su Dangjia was not nervous: "The silver of the three of us is only 110,000 taels, and they should be able to afford it." In the future, you can no longer settle the monthly payment. We used to collect debts on the same day, and we were still scolded, can we still owe you that little bit of money in our house? As a result, the people who owe the debt are the uncle. ”
Ye Dangjia nodded in agreement: "In the future, we won't be able to end the month, everyone knows it." ”
Zeng Zhu: "Even if it drags on for a long time, they can't get together the money." I heard that the rocks they bought are still on the ship, and those stones are transported from Huainan, and they cost a lot of money! ”
"They deserve to be unlucky, if they don't repair the waiting house, how can they pay so much credit?" Su Dangjia saw too much of these powerful people's extravagance, and finally led to a shortage of income.
Who would have thought that it was this emperor who ascended the throne? Compared with those nobles who were directly exiled from their homes, the people of Beiding Houfu were already extremely lucky.
On the other side, the three famous businessmen of Tai'an also gathered together, with sad faces, and they only beat their chests.
They are the proprietors of Wong's Firm, Law's Firm and Pang's Firm.
Huang Dangjia was anxious: "I didn't see a guest until noon in this Beiding Waiting Mansion, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?" I don't see them come out to pawn things, shouldn't they just convert the old things? "The people in the palace only paid a deposit of 20 percent, and they still owed him 800,000 pieces of silver. Several of his ships have transported a lot of rockeries and flowers from Hangzhou, and there are still two ships on the way, because the goods have not yet arrived, so the Houfu has not yet settled the bill.
Although the Hou Mansion did not receive the goods, these are customized, and there is no buyer for a while! Especially those precious flowers and plants, once they are not taken care of, they will die.
Luo Dangjia was also so anxious that he wiped his sweat, and Beiding Houfu ordered a lot of good wood with him to repair the house, and there were a lot of materials for Huanghuali, and the goods had been carried into Houfu. If you can't give the money, can you return it so that he will lose less? But I heard that the eunuch who announced the decree said that not a single flower or tree in the waiting house could be moved. Houfu still owes him 900,000 taels! The proprietor behind him is Prince Shun, can you let the prince operate it? But according to the prince's temperament, I am afraid that if I don't get the money today, I will dispose of him directly.
Peng Dangjia specially helped Hou Fu to buy, and the bird's nest of the ladies and ladies, the century-old ginseng of the old lady, the Duan inkstone and the famous calligraphy and paintings that the Hou Ye wanted were all purchased by him. The waiter paid the deposit, and the things went into the waiter, which has not yet been settled! Oh my God, a whole 500,000 taels of silver!
Compared with the sad faces of the creditors and the sighs of the masters of the Houfu, Lu Yingfang was refreshed. She finally settled the matter of the deed of sale!
Because the price of someone's tooth is in front, people dare not take less. In addition, Lu Yingfang has a system and knows where the bottom line of people's money is, so they take money as painfully as digging meat, but they can also take out the amount.
The deed of sale given by the subordinates also made up tens of thousands of taels of silver before and after.
Jiao Er is also the same as Lin Zi, the family can't come up with money, so he simply sacrifices a son. Qiu Da once served in the army, and later became the private soldier of the old marquis. After the old marquis left, he stayed in order to repay his kindness. On weekdays, he follows Lan Rongqi, and now he also voluntarily follows him to Youzhou.
When the slaves learned that Lin Zi and Jiao Er's family had not paid the ransom and the settlement fee, they were all so jealous that their eyes were red. Because they almost emptied their savings, they avoided being sold again. If I knew it, I let the son or daughter of the family follow the old lady, at least it saved one person's chewing, and the family also had some resettlement fees.
Soon, two chests on the ground were filled with copper plates, broken silver, jewelry, and so on.
The old lady asked Mother Tian to give the silver, and said in front of the slaves: "It's hard work for the two, they don't give as much silver as the two, but they have no merit and hard work, for the sake of their many years of service, they can only let the two go in vain." ”
Liu Niangzi twisted her waist and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh, how many lifetimes of blessings have you cultivated, and you have met the old lady's great kindness." ”
Wu Liu took people's money, so he naturally wanted to say two nice words: "The old lady feels sorry for you, you have to thank the old lady!" ”
Everyone knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, old lady, thank you, old lady." ”
Wu Liu and Liu Niangzi admired the old lady, and it was naturally the latter's benevolence and righteousness to sell the slave to the human tooth and let the slave redeem himself. not only earned a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but also made the slaves pay a lot of money, but they couldn't speak ill of the master's family.
Lu Yingfang suddenly saw merit points popping up on the heads of the slaves, and they were all lifeless when they paid the money just now. This will be mentioned by two people's teeth, and they find that they are in the blessing and do not know the blessing, and the gratitude rises gradually, and it directly becomes the merit value.
- Dear, you now have 400 merits. Wow, that's amazing!
Lu Yingfang smiled secretly, maybe it will rise sharply later. At present, she has only solved the deed of sale of eighty percent of the slaves, and people like Tian's mother, Bijiao and Hao Ye's family will be disposed of again.
At that time, some creditors who owed less than 20,000 taels of silver came to the door. The eldest lady took out the silver taels from the treasury, used the ransom silver of the subordinates, and finally added the gold and silver jewelry of the three wives in the house to mortgage it directly, and then sent these people away.
The Zhao family looked at the several land deeds and Zhuangzi's land deeds in his hand hesitantly, this is the dowry of the Sun family! The total value is estimated at 30,000 taels. This Sun family actually gave up his dowry in order to split the family.
And this dead old woman actually agreed!
Just 30,000 taels, can you split up? Want to be beautiful? There are still more than two million taels of debts that have not been paid!
Don't worry about it for now, let's use these land deeds of the Sun family first!
Those who owe debts don't care if they have cash or not at the moment, it would be good if the Lan family could have something to pay off their debts. Everyone knew that the big creditors would come to the door after noon.
So they don't pick, it's better to have a land deed and a Zhuangzi contract, and the two boxes on the ground are filled with copper plates, broken silver, and no matter how bad they are, there is a discount on jewelry!
Lu Yingfang sat on the side, watching Zhao's face turn pale and send away those creditors, and then some creditors actually had merit points on their heads.
Lv Yingfang: 38, 38, what's going on? The creditors still thank us? Wow, it adds up to 25 merit points.
- Dear, people's code name is 1318, not 38! Those who owe less debts are those who run on a small scale, and they are not as rich as those who have a lot of money. If you give them back the money first, they will be happy.
Lu Yingfang: Oh, the one who owes the debt is the uncle!
At noon, the creditors standing in front of the side gate of Beiding Mansion were waiting impatiently. In summer, the weather is hot, and the afternoon is even more sweaty.
At this moment, the door opened, and other creditors came out of it one after another. Seeing that they were happy, they must have all gotten the money.
Do the Lan family still have any money to return to them? The faces of the people standing outside the door were even worse!
"Hey, isn't this Dr. Li from the Renxin Medicine Hall?" Ye Dangjia watched Doctor Li carrying the medicine box and bringing his apprentice over.
Dr. Li is the most famous doctor in Renxin Pharmacy, about 50 years old, thin and tall, always with a solemn face, and a bad temper. Because of his high medical skills, many powerful people are very polite to him.
"Isn't there someone in the house who is unwell?" Zeng Zhu frowned, the old lady in the house and Lan Rongqi can't have an accident at this juncture!
Doctor Li was not surprised to see them, but nodded: "The old lady let me come down." ”
At this time, a delicate maid stood out at the side door of Beiding Mansion, and she respectfully led her forward.
Walking and walking, Su Dangjia felt that something was wrong, Xungui's house was very particular, this went north, this direction is not like going to the main hall or the side hall.
"Girl, where are you leading us?" Su Dangjia looked around, his face full of displeasure.
"The old lady said, the weather is hot, please go to the dining room to rest for a while." It was the green banana that led the way. Today, the ordinary slaves have redeemed themselves, and she should not have to redeem the silver, so she is in a good mood.
"Yo, are you really going to invite us to dinner?" Su Dangjia whispered to Zeng Zhu next to him, "I'm really afraid that they will poison me!" ”
Zeng Zhu was patient: "Su Dangjia, you are laughing!" ”
Everyone stepped into the dining room and suddenly felt a chill, it turned out that there were ice basins around the dining room, and it was bubbling with a little coolness.
At this time, ice basins are still used, does Beiding Mansion think that they can reduce their debts by treating them well? Everyone thought it was incredible, the price of ice in summer was extremely expensive, and a small pot cost fifteen taels of silver. The ice cubes in this dining room were large and thick, and there were eight large basins, which were worth at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver.
Just when everyone was estimating the price of ice and how much they could get back, Lu Yingfang hurried to arrive with Tian's mother and Biling.
"Everyone, please sit down, it's hot, let's eat and chat, let's serve!" Lu Yingfang didn't say too much to greet, and directly beckoned the people behind to serve the food.
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't expect the old lady's opening remarks to be like this.
Ye Dangjia didn't see the outside: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Since the old lady sincerely invited, I am not welcome. ”
Everyone was still hesitating to sit down, and the dishes brought by the servants had already attracted everyone's attention.
What's the red in this big pot? Only some fish fillets were seen, and there seemed to be some dishes underneath.
What are these white balls floating on top of the soup?
What is this piece of red meat? Is it pigskin?
The dishes that followed were all like never before, but they looked delicious!
Zeng Zhu's ancestors opened a restaurant, but he had never seen such a dish, and he seemed to have realized something. But even if you sell recipes, you can't sell them for more than two million taels of silver! The total amount of money owed by these great creditors is about 2,300,000 taels of silver!
Lu Yingfang beckoned everyone to sit down, she sat on the main seat, and greeted warmly: "After eating, let's talk again!" ”
Although Dr. Li was prepared, he didn't expect to eat at the table as soon as he came. The old lady was so enthusiastic, he couldn't say anything. The rest of the people didn't look very good, and the debt of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver was pressed on their bodies, and no one could easily afford it.
