"Are you going to see your eldest cousin?" Yang Wanqing muttered in a low voice.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen Mei Zhiyuan, that is, she had seen him once when she was sick, and she hadn't seen him since.

When Yang came to the house and said that she would not marry their family, she wanted to see Mei Zhiyuan, wanted to talk to him, wanted to ask him why he was unwilling to marry her, what was wrong with her? If he says it, she will definitely change it.

But Aunt Yang didn't let them go out, let alone go to Mei's house, and Yang Wanqing couldn't go to Mei Zhiyuan if he wanted to.

Yang Wanqing was also sad for many days, and then she became dull and lived a muddy life.

Xiaohong came out with a teacup, walked up to him and said with a smile: "Master, please use tea." ”

Uncle Yang took it in his hand and waved away the maid.

"How much silver does Daddy want to borrow?"

Yang Wanqing's mind seems to be a lot clearer, she is going to see her eldest cousin, she hasn't seen him for a long time, she misses him very much, she still has a lot to say to him.

Uncle Yang took a sip of herbal tea, his mouth was cold and refreshing, with the sweetness of osmanthus nectar, he took another sip and said, "It's not much, eight thousand taels of silver." ”

"Eight thousand taels ......"

Yang Wanqing felt a little too much, but eight thousand taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket for the Mei family!

"Okay, I'll go find my eldest cousin."

Yang Wanqing got up and walked into the house as she spoke, and called Xiaohong to redress her makeup, she wanted to dress up beautifully to meet her eldest cousin.

Uncle Yang saw Yang Wanqing enter the house, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, put down the teacup and stood up and turned around and walked outside.

After a while, Yang Wanqing changed into a goose yellow dress, simply brought three or four beaded flowers, and took advantage of her pretty face Yuxue cute.

After packing up, Yang Wanqing took Xiaohong out of Yang's house and took a carriage to Jiutong Fortune to find Mei Zhiyuan.

Mei Zhiyuan was checking an account book in a room, and most of it had been calculated, and there were still a few pages to be counted.

Every day, Mei Zhiyuan has to do the same thing as other guys in the hall of Jiutong Fortune, entertain the guests who come here, serve tea and pour water to welcome and send everything.

From time to time, Wei Quanbao, the big shopkeeper, will give him a problematic account book, ask him to check the accounts inside, find out the mistakes in them, and then write a note explaining where the reason for the error is, and hand it to Wei Quanbao for review.

A guy shouted outside: "Mei Zhiyuan, someone is looking for you." ”

"Here we are."

Mei Zhiyuan recorded the numbers on the abacus, clamped them in the account book and pressed them with a paperweight, and after doing these things, he opened the door and went out.

Seeing the people outside the door, Mei Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "Brother Shankui, who is looking for me?" ”

"There's a young lady looking for you outside, go and have a look." Shankui said.

"Thank you."

Mei Zhiyuan took a steady step out of Jiutong Wealth, stood on the street and looked around, and saw Yang Wanqing and a maid standing in front of a carriage, he was a little empty in his heart, guessing what she was doing.

"Why did my cousin get here?"

"Big cousin!" Yang Wanqing shouted, a thousand words are only in this sentence.

Mei Zhiyuan paced over, stood two steps away, glanced up and down at Yang Wanqing's makeup, and saw that her complexion was still good, and his heart was a little more relieved.

"I'm sorry to disturb my eldest cousin."

"It's fine, it's not very busy."

Yang Wanqing curtsied, smiled apologetically, and said, "Is the eldest cousin free?" I have a few words I want to say to you,......"

Mei Zhiyuan looked left and right, pointed to a restaurant in front of him, and said, "Then let's go sit there." ”

"Good!"

Yang Wanqing followed Mei Zhiyuan into the restaurant, and Xiaohong walked behind and followed up to the second floor and entered the private room to the west.

Xiao Er came in and served tea, and asked them what kind of food they wanted to eat and what kind of wine they wanted to drink, and he wanted to boast about his own wine and food, but was interrupted by Mei Zhiyuan.

"Let's sit here for a while and go, we don't have to serve food." He said.

"Let's talk." Xiao Er turned around and went downstairs.

Yang Wanqing sat down and said, "Big cousin, sit down!" ”

Xiaohong lifted the teapot and poured tea into the cups of the two people, and took a few steps back to stand behind Yang Wanqing.

Mei Zhiyuan sat down opposite Yang Wanqing, looked at her and said, "Do you have something to say." ”

Yang Wanqing held a handkerchief in her hand and asked, "Are you married?" ”

Mei Zhiyuan didn't want her to ask this, so he panicked for a moment, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip before saying, "It's decided, my father gave me the daughter of Professor Xuehe." ”

Yang Wanqing smiled bitterly, "Congratulations, big cousin!" She said.

Her heart was very uncomfortable, she had a lot to say, but she didn't have anything to say at once.

"Hmm." Mei Zhiyuan replied softly.

The room was silent for a while, and it felt a little dull.

Yang Wanqing bit her delicate red lips and said, "My father's business has a problem, he needs eight thousand taels of silver to turn around, he is embarrassed to beg, I came to look for you, can you lend me eight thousand taels of silver?" It will be returned in the future. ”

Mei Zhiyuan froze there with a tea bowl, where did he have so much silver, eight thousand taels of silver! His monthly salary is only five taels of silver, which is also because of his different status, and he gives two taels more, otherwise he would only have three taels of silver per month.

Mei Zhiyuan wanted to say that he didn't have any money, but he couldn't help it when he saw Yang Wanqing, because his relatives felt a little guilty about her, and he couldn't bear to refuse her request.

"What? Won't my eldest cousin borrow it?! ”

Yang Wanqing laughed sarcastically, but her heart sank, is the human heart so cold? She saw the stunned and embarrassed look on Mei Zhiyuan's face.

Yang Wanqing doesn't know what's so difficult about this, he guards such a cornucopia of Jiutong wealth, can't he even take out a mere eight thousand taels of silver? What a joke!

"It's not."

Mei Zhiyuan swallowed his saliva, took two more sips of the tea bowl, and said stubbornly: "I don't have so much silver on hand, can you let me think of a way?" ”

"Okay."

Yang Wanqing also picked up the tea bowl, took a sip elegantly, and raised her eyelids slightly to look at Mei Zhiyuan.

Mei Zhiyuan stood up and paced back and forth in the room, where to get eight thousand taels of silver for her? Go to the master...... No, how embarrassed to talk to his old man if he can't learn anything.

Mei Zhiyuan stopped abruptly, turned to look at Yang Wanqing and said, "You wait here for a while, I'll go back when I go." ”

"Big cousin, please." Yang Wanqing said, watching him flee in the wilderness, her heart was even colder.

Mei Zhiyuan turned around and hurriedly went downstairs, as if there was a wolf chasing him behind him, and when he saw Xiao Er downstairs, he told him to send some snacks upstairs, and ran back to Jiutong Fortune.
