Chapter 163: Borrowing Silver
Mei Jishan thought that someone must have come to say something to the Yang family, so she went to Mrs. Cao to break up the family, otherwise she could know something as a woman in the house, even if he knew only a limited amount.
He remembered what Mrs. Cao said about the Yang family, and he was a little uncomfortable when he looked at the Yang family, and frowned in annoyance.
Yang walked to the side and sat down on a chair, raised his hand and stroked his sideburns, and said: "The eldest brother came to our house when he came back from Yangzhou, and told me that Ruoxue bought a large number of silk in other state capitals, and no one wanted it, she let people buy it all, and I don't know what she is going to do?" and he could not bear silver at home. ”
Yang took the tea sent in by the maid Baozhu, took a sip, and said: "Master, you don't care about anything, I'm not afraid that she will toss the Mei family away!" When the time comes, let's all drink the northwest wind.
The eldest brother said that the silk outside has fallen from fifty or sixty taels a year ago to more than thirty taels now, and no one buys silk to weave silk at all.
There is also that gambling contract, at the end of the year, I will pay most of the family's property, and then divide the family at that time, how much silver can I share? It's better to make a fuss now, and it's a serious matter to divide the family. ”
Mei Jishan took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Didn't A-Niang say it, Ruoxue has the final say on business matters, as for the separation of the family, we have to wait for the third brother to come back and discuss it together before we can ,......"
Yang interrupted him and said, "You can write to the third child now, tell him about the situation, and ask him to take the time to come back and divide the family in a few days." Now you can divide a little more, and wait until the end of the year to divide it, it's hard to say whether Zhiyuan is enough to marry a daughter-in-law! ”
Speaking of Mei Zhiyuan's relatives, the Yang family complained about Mei Jishan, and found such a noble girl to come back, and the dowry didn't know how much to go out, and she had to be an ancestor when she married home? Let her be a mother-in-law how to deal with herself!
What a good girl her niece Yang Wanqing is, she has to be good-looking, what is wrong with marrying his son! It's better to kiss and kiss!
But Mei Jishan just didn't like it, so she made her a wicked person, went to her mother's house and told Uncle Yang that the family affairs were not counted, and asked the Yang family to hire another person for Yang Wanqing.
Uncle Yang's nose is not a nose and her eyes are not eyes, and it took her a long time to get Yang back.
After that, Aunt Yang didn't come to Mei's house anymore, and even the children didn't let them come to Mei's house anymore.
In Yang's heart, there is no place to reason for a person who can't say anything about his suffering, and who is uncomfortable.
Mei Jishan was impatient to listen to Yang's nagging, got up and went to the study, and wrote a letter to the third master, Mei Jitan, telling about the dream between Mrs. Cao and Ruoxue, and also wrote Ruoxue's bet with people and the recent purchase of silk on it, asking Mei Jitan what he thought about these things and what to do next.
The maid Hongye came in for tea once, and she didn't dare to disturb and withdrew, and she didn't go in if no one called her.
Uncle Yang returned home, washed away his fatigue, sat in the main hall and drank tea, and asked about the children in Uncle Yang's house.
Aunt Yang said: "The boss is busy in the shop, and he can't see his people for a day; The second and third children went to the school and didn't know what they learned! I couldn't see them when I came back except to eat. ”
Aunt Yang took a sip of tea and talked about Yang Wanqing, since the Yang family said that the family affairs were not done, Yang Wanqing was half-dead, silent and ignored people.
Uncle Yang put down the teacup and said: "It's right that I didn't marry their family, their family can't even afford to eat immediately, if our daughter really marries, won't she have to suffer for a lifetime!" ”
Aunt Yang didn't understand what he meant, so she asked him what he said?
Uncle Yang said that Ruoxue took the silver of the white flowers and bought tens of thousands of catties of silk, "There is also the matter of the last time she made a bet with others, this one thing alone may make their family lose only a little ancestral property, plus the purchase of silk and then lose, their Mei family will be bankrupt." He said.
"Not really, right?!"
Aunt Yang looked at Uncle Yang in disbelief and said, "Then won't the Mei family be able to help us in the future?" Don't you want to find a way to get some out of their house again? ”
"I thought about it, in a few days, I will go to Jiutong Fortune and Zhiyuan to borrow a few thousand taels of silver, and when their family falls in the future, the silver will not be returned to them." Uncle Yang looked at his old wife and said, "But this matter can only be done by helping me in the late Qing Dynasty." ”
"What do you say?" Aunt Yang asked.
"The Mei family pushed our family's family affairs, Zhiyuan must be ashamed in his heart, let Wanqing borrow money from him, he will definitely agree." Uncle Yang said confidently.
Aunt Yang also felt a little reasonable when she heard him say this, but she refused to go to Yang Wanqing to talk about it, so she said: "You go to see Wanqing, talk to her, and see what she means." ”
Since the last time Yang Wanqing and Aunt Yang had a quarrel, Aunt Yang felt that there was an invisible barrier between her and her daughter, and she couldn't cross it.
Therefore, the two of them said two words perfunctorily when they met, and they began to be silent.
Uncle Yang sighed helplessly, thinking of the dead little grandson, his heart was throbbing, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Then I'll go over and take a look!" He said.
Yang Wanqing was sitting on the corridor in front of her house at this time, watching the sunset and sunset fill the sky. She's been living a mess for the past month, and sometimes she can't even remember what she just ate.
It's stupid all day long.
Uncle Yang walked over and saw Yang Wanqing in a daze, he walked up to him and asked, "What are you looking at?" I didn't even see Daddy coming! ”
When Yang Wanqing heard the prestige, she saw her Daddy Uncle Yang, and hurriedly got up to salute and said, "Daddy, why are you here?" ”
This seems to be her father's first time back into her yard!
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
"Then please sit in the room."
"No, just sit down the porch."
As Uncle Yang spoke, he sat down against the guardrail.
Yang Wanqing sat opposite and waved her hand to let the maid Xiaohong pour a cup of herbal tea.
Little Red turned around and went into the house.
"What does Daddy have to say to his daughter?"
Yang Wanqing looked at Uncle Yang opposite, I don't know what he wants to say, it can't be his own family business, right?
Uncle Yang pondered the words and said, "Daddy's business is a little unsmooth, and he wants to borrow a few thousand taels of silver, but he doesn't know who to borrow."
I thought that your eldest cousin was in Jiutong Wealth, so I wanted to borrow a little from him, but Daddy is an elder can't open this mouth, so I want you to go on a trip and talk to your eldest cousin to see if it's okay? ”
