"Chu Baishan, you don't want to be an old face, you're too scoundrel!"

Voices of indignation poured in from all directions.

Yin Zheng's face turned blue, and he lowered his face: "Chu Baishan, the bride has not yet started, and if she doesn't worship the church, she is not your Chu family's daughter-in-law." That's the end of it. This playboy has already given out 8 billion taels of silver, and now you and your family have nothing but 8 billion taels of silver. I think you'd better take your deed and ledger and hand over to this dude. Regarding the Chu Mansion and all the Chu family shop operations, you have left it to this dude to deal with. ”

As soon as Yin Zheng spoke, Chu Baishan had no choice but to stop, but he was still unwilling and sneered: "Okay, the old man will sell Lord Yin Zheng a favor, and this matter will be done." Since you have said it, please ask the playboy to come up with eight billion taels of silver! ”

He opened his hands and gestured to Hua Lan in a demonstrative manner, his eyes did not stop sweeping on Hua Lan: "Dude, do you have such a silver ticket on you?" Do you want the old man to send a few people to follow the playboy to the house to get it? ”

When he said this, everyone's eyes converged on Hua Lan's face.

With Master Yin Zheng here, Chun Silkworm had a bottom in her heart, she quietly pulled her master's hand, leaned in and whispered: "Don't worry, master, the slave will go and invite General Nangong to come." ”

When Hua Lan heard General Nangong's words, she was immediately shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the spring silkworm and waved her hand secretly: "No need, I just have eight billion taels of silver tickets here." ”

As soon as Hua Lan thought in her heart, a large stack of silver tickets came out of the capital reserves in her sleeve, each of which was 10 million taels of silver.

She took out the stacks of silver tickets and handed them to Yin Zheng: "Please be clear, please take care of it, please go over with Hua and hand over to the master of the Chu family, there will inevitably be people fishing in troubled water." ”

Yin Zheng looked at the silver ticket, his eyes straightened. He had seen a lot of silver tickets, but he had never seen a silver ticket of 10 million taels.

It's really fake, he picked up a silver ticket and asked the clerk on the side, "Will there be a silver ticket of 10 million taels in Zhengyin Bank?" ”

"Lord Hui, the maximum denomination of Zhengyin Coin Village is 10 million taels of silver, that's right!"

The clerk checked the silver tickets, and looked at the large stack in Lord Yin Zheng's hand, and hesitated: "My lord, Zhengyin money banks are all over the world, and silver tickets with a denomination of 15 taels are not uncommon, but the total amount of 8 billion taels, isn't it?" ”

Yin Zheng heard the suspicion of the clerk, but the denomination was not false, so he waved his hand and said to Chu Baishan: "Chu Baishan, since the playboy has taken out eight billion taels of silver, what else do you have to say?" ”

Chu Baishan never thought that he would lose this game, but when he waved in front of the silver ticket of eight billion taels of silver spent in vain, there was Lord Yin Zheng to testify.

He had no choice but to wilt.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.

Eight billion taels of silver are enough for his children and grandchildren to spend inexhaustible, after all, the gains outweigh the losses. He gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, smiled indifferently on his face, and calmly instructed the housekeeper behind him: "Go back and call the mansion to disperse, and tell Mrs. to prepare to go out of the city." ”

Not long after, Yin Zheng came to Chu Mansion with Hua Lan.

The wedding banquet in Chu Mansion had not yet begun, and a large number of people stood at the gate.

The people of Chu Mansion are prosperous, with a large family of more than 100 people, and they heard that they have won 8 billion taels of silver, and their faces are shining.

The silver that they don't have to worry about for a few lifetimes, they are naturally happy in their hearts.

Soon, Chu Baishan explained the account contract, and took the old and young family out of Kyoto City in a carriage.

There are different legends about the whereabouts of the Chu family, and as for the truth, it is all a later story.

The Chu family walked more than 100 people, and many of the remaining servants were waiting at the door.

Hua Lan invited Lord Yin Zheng to sit on the main seat, ordered to go down, and set up a banquet to thank you.

Yin Zheng didn't shirk either, this is a wealthy master, he bought Chu Mansion for eight billion taels of silver, and he will take care of it more in the future, so he ordered his subordinates to shake off their cheeks and eat to their heart's content.

After sending Yin Zheng away, Hua Lan called a large family of servants in the house to the front.

"You are all old people in the house, and if you are willing to stay, I welcome you! However, I have a lot of rules, and I'm afraid that you have been wronged. If you want to leave, I won't stay, and if you go, each person will receive a hundred taels of silver, which is considered the cost of settling in, as compensation for the previous service in the house. ”

"One hundred taels of silver!"

There are servants who know that the new master is a rich master, but when he is rich to this extent, he is a little itchy.

Their monthly silver is only a few hundred wen, and at most they get two taels of silver, and they will only get more than twenty taels of silver in a year. One hundred taels of silver, but they have been working on cattle and horses for several years.

What's more, if you leave the Chu Mansion, you will no longer be a slave except for slavery.

If you have money to take, and you don't have to be a slave of your master, who doesn't want such a good thing.

Before Hua Lan's words fell, the servants who were about to leave ran over. ‘

"You're all willing to go?"

Hua Lan was a little disappointed, "What kind of people are these, one by one they forget their righteousness." ”

She couldn't help sighing, glanced at a teenage boy who was still hesitating on the side, and asked lazily: "What are you hesitating about, after receiving a hundred taels of silver, you can go home for a reunion in addition to your slave status, why don't you come and get it soon?" ”

The little boy was skinny and shrunk his neck timidly, Hua Lan's words did not make him move half a step, but opened a pair of big bright eyes, and said: "The slave doesn't want to leave, the slave has no home, and the slave just wants to serve the master." ”

"Don't you have a home?"

Hua Lan felt a twitch in her heart and beckoned to the boy: "Come here, what's your name?" ”

"His name is Silly Le, he is ten years old this year, and he was picked up from the street by the old man. I almost didn't freeze to death on the street that winter when I picked it up, and I was only five years old. ”

The talkative old servant explained.

At this time, most of the wind servants received the silver and the contract of sale and left the house, and the mouthy servant also took the silver and the contract and shook his head and sighed and left.

"So, you don't have a deed of sale?"

Hua Lan asked, holding Silly Le's thin hands: "Okay, from now on, you will live in the mansion, and this will be your home." ”

"Home!"

Silly Le didn't understand the meaning of Hua Lan's words, and he nodded humbly: "Hmm! “

As soon as the servants in the mansion were empty, the entire Chu Mansion seemed deserted.

Hua Lan asked the spring silkworm to draw a picture of the house in the house and put it on the table, and beckoned a timid little bride and her grandfather and younger brother: "From now on, you will all live here, choose a suitable courtyard first, you can live anywhere." ”

"How can this work? Engong saved his granddaughter's life, how can the old man add to the trouble? ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, and his body kept shrinking.

He didn't dare to talk much just now because of the presence of Lord Yin Zheng, and he had a meal with him, and he was trembling at the moment, where did he dare to say anything.

Hua Lan waved her hand: "If I want you to choose, you can choose, politely." Such a big house, I can't see it with two pairs of eyes alone, it just so happens that you are old and have rich social experience. I will ask you to be the chief superintendent of the house, and I don't care about anything else, just keep our house coming and going, and give you ten taels of silver every month. This errand is not difficult, you are old and strong, do you want to refuse? ”

"Ouch, Engong, where are you talking about this, Engong commanded, and the old man will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire. Don't talk about ten taels of silver, don't want to be old and willing to do it. ”

The old man wiped the tears of excitement in his eyes, "The old decay only needs two thatched huts, and it is guaranteed that the son's mansion will be properly guarded." ”

Hua Lan thought for a while and pointed to a few simple houses in the east courtyard: "Okay, the old man will live in the east courtyard, this side is close to the house gate, and it is more convenient to come and go." ”

The old man was even happier when he saw it, these rooms not only took care of his identity, but also took care of his age, and nodded uncontrollably: "Thank you, son." ”

After the old man made the arrangement, Hua Lan looked at the little bride and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Magpie, and I will definitely obey the orders of my son in the future."

The magpie bowed down, Hua Lan smiled, hurriedly picked it up, and said, "Magpie, this name is nice and festive." ”

She looked at her brother again, the little guy had a tiger's head, his big eyes flashed with aura, and asked with a smile: "You can't call it festive, right?" ”

"My name is Brother Xi, and my name is Xiqing."
