When Xi Tongfang heard this, he thought that this idea was good, but two hundred taels of silver was too little, "I see, this incense recipe is worth a fortune, give two hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid that the fourth master won't like it, so we should give more." ”

"Daddy, the fourth master has a mountain of gold and silver, we just give 10,000 taels, and he doesn't feel much, give 200 taels, but we don't want to take a name for nothing."

Xi Feng didn't want to dwell on this matter with Daddy, so he said, "Daddy, this incense recipe, you write it down, after you write it down, we burn it, and we can't let others know the content of the incense recipe." ”

Xi Tongfang secretly wrote down the incense recipe, and forced Xi Feng to write it down together, and after the father and daughter memorized it, they burned the incense recipe.

In the evening, Xi Tongfang rented a carriage and went to the college with his daughter to pick up Ah Yun home.

After arriving home, Ruan Shi pulled Xi Tongfang and entered the house and whispered, "I went to Zhang's house today to sit for a while, and listened to Mrs. Zhang say that Dafang owes a lot of silver to the casino, all of which are gambling silver borrowed by Ayan, and now the casino is forcing Dafang to repay the silver, and if the silver is not paid, the people in the casino will cut off one of Ayan's arms, and the people in Dafang are selling a hundred acres of paddy fields." ”

"How much money do you owe?" Xi Tongfang asked, he remembered that a few days ago, Xi Tonglin went to the shop to grab silver, I am afraid that it has something to do with this matter.

Nguyen said, "Eight thousand taels." ”

"Owe so much?" Xi Tongfang gasped, and then hated that iron could not become steel, "Ayan, this kid, why did he get involved in gambling, he lost nine out of ten bets, and there were a few ...... who won silver when he entered the casino."

"Hey, it's a gamble now, no matter how much you say, it's too late."

"Yes." Xi Tongfang sighed, "My eldest brother went to the shop to grab silver a few days ago, and it is estimated that it has something to do with this matter, but he owes the casino 8,000 taels of silver, how can he sell a hundred acres of paddy fields?" ”

Twenty taels of silver for one acre of paddy field, and one hundred acres of paddy field can be sold for two thousand taels of silver, which is still a big gap of eight thousand taels of silver.

Ruan said, "Ah Niang also has private silver in her hand, Ah Yan has something to do, can Ah Niang not take it out, and sister-in-law, there is also a lot of private silver in her hand, if you make it together, you can make up enough for this amount." ”

Xi Tongfang also thought of the private silver that his mother had accumulated for decades, not 10,000, but also a few thousand taels, he said, "We and the big house have torn our faces, no matter how the big house is, in the future, it will have nothing to do with our second room." ”

"Well, what the master said is right, in the future, we will only have to live our own lives in the second room."

The two of them whispered in private, but they didn't know that Cheng's private money was in Xi Feng's hands.

And in Xi Feng's room, Su Xin was also reporting that the big house was going to sell 100 acres of paddy fields to pay off gambling debts.

Xi Feng sneered, "Dafang has long run out of silver in his hand, and if he sells a hundred acres of paddy fields, he can make up enough for eight thousand taels, where did the six thousand taels come from?" ”

"The Wang family went back to his parents' house and borrowed 1,000 taels, and the remaining 5,000 taels were borrowed from the fat prefect by Xi Tonglin, without interest, and only took his grange as collateral, but within half a year, if he didn't pay the 5,000 taels of silver, the grange would be the fat prefect's."

Therefore, the transaction between Xi Tonglin and the fat prefect was to give Ah Yun to the fat prefect, and the fat prefect promised to lend Xi Tonglin 5,000 taels of silver, and the repayment period was half a year, no interest, and only the grange as collateral.

Hehe......

Xi Feng sneered.

Her favorite little brother, I didn't expect to be sold by Xi Tonglin so cheaply, it was worthless, and I only exchanged it for an opportunity to borrow silver, hehe......,
