Chapter 374: Debt Collection
Yu Xiaohuan walked to the door of the Lu Mansion, paused slightly, looked at the plaque of the Lu Mansion on the door, and waited for the subordinate to report, and then walked into the mansion under the guidance of the subordinate.
According to the inquiries sent by Xu An'an, Mrs. Lu thought that she was superior to others since her brother became a Beijing official, and often acted arrogantly and willfully under the pretext that her brother was a Beijing official, but she offended people.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaohuan raised his spirit, and was even ready to fight.
However, when she arrived in the living room, when the tea on the table was cold, everyone wilted, and the fighting spirit was gone, only a nest of fire in her stomach remained, and Mrs. Lu was late.
"Mrs. Xu has been waiting for a long time." Mrs. Lu walked slowly under the support of her subordinates, knowing that she had made her wait for a long time, and she didn't apologize, so she asked directly: "You and I have never had a relationship, I don't know why you are here today?" ”
Eh, it's so unpleasant to live when you first meet!
"Mrs. Lu is late, didn't she just get up?" Yu Xiaohuan didn't answer her words, and said something that sounded sarcastic unreasonably.
Mrs. Lu was really stunned, and then resumed her rather proud and arrogant smile, and said: "I heard that the young lady of the Xu family has a good mouth, and when I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were true, and this mouth can really be used as an awl." ”
"Hey, people are really afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong!" Yu Xiaohuan said with emotion, "I have never heard any comments related to Mrs. Lu. ”
Mrs. Lu's smile suddenly froze, and then she smiled even more hypocritically and said, "Hey, you have only joined the Xu Mansion for a few days, and it is normal that you don't know about things in the city." Unlike us who grew up in the city since childhood, no one knows, this young master of the Xu family has a bad fate, young and sick, and the rich and noble families in our city dare not marry their daughters, for fear that their daughters will have to be widowed as soon as they marry. Who would have thought that the girl in this county was bold and married to a sick man. However, the Xu family has a big business, and the glory and wealth of a lifetime are endless, so what does it matter if a man is not useful. ”
Yu Xiaohuan was almost so angry that she spurted out a mouthful of old blood. However, in this case, the more arrogant others are, the calmer she has to be, and if she gets angry, she loses.
"No amount of money is enough to stick to his sick body!" Yu Xiaohuan sighed with emotion, and then changed his words, "So, didn't I come to Mrs. Lu to collect debts?" Today, I wanted to buy some tonic medicine for my sick seedlings to recuperate my body, but I couldn't spare any money in the store, so I learned that Mrs. Lu still had the balance of five hundred taels in our Xu family's jade shop unsettled, and this money was just enough to buy the batch of precious medicinal materials I fancied. Mrs. Lu is a young lady from a large family, and her mother's family has a brother who is an official in the capital, and the daughter taught by such a family must be knowledgeable and sensible, and she will not delay me from using this money to save my life, right? ”
She stopped after finishing in one breath, not giving Mrs. Lu a chance to refute halfway.
Mrs. Lu's face turned blue and white for a while, and it took a while for her to come to her senses. "What did Mrs. Xu say? It's only five hundred taels of silver, how can I not pay it back? Besides, the Xu family took out 100,000 taels of silver to the water bandits in one breath a few days ago, how could they not even take out 500 taels now? Don't tease me! ”
Eh, there are too many lies, and I actually flashed my tongue.
"Alas, Mrs. Lu doesn't know, the silver was borrowed from others urgently, and she paid it back as soon as she got it back, and she paid a lot of interest." Yu Xiaohuan complained with a sad face, "It's not that our Xu family can't get this five hundred taels, but this money is just enough to deal with, so why should I trouble my old lady?" Then Mrs. Lu, will you give me the final payment of 500 taels directly now, or will Ming'er send it to the jade shop for us? ”
Mrs. Lu's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't say anything for a while.
"What's the problem with Mrs. Lu?" Yu Xiaohuan said again, "If I am short of money, I can also think of other ways?" ”
"What can I do?" Mrs. Lu looked depressed, and she couldn't get angry, so she had to say angrily, "Isn't it just a matter of five hundred taels of silver, won't my dignified Lu family take it out, as for Mrs. Xu to run it herself?" ”
"In that case, I'm here, Mrs. Lu will just hand over the money to me, and you won't have to go on another trip tomorrow." Yu Xiaohuan looked considerate, and she didn't notice Mrs. Lu's displeasure at all.
"I ...... My mother's brother is a Beijing official, and he was promoted a few days ago, and my husband went to the capital to congratulate him. Mrs. Lu explained hotly, then stood up suddenly, didn't look at Yu Xiaohuan, and said, "Mrs. Xu will wait here for a while, and I will go and get you five hundred taels of silver tickets." ”
After that, he left without looking back.
Yu Xiaohuan waited in the living room again, and after Mrs. Lu left, the Lu family's subordinates didn't know where they went, and there was no one to renew the tea. Yu Xiaohuan waited so long that her eyelids were fighting, and she couldn't sit still until the girl next to Mrs. Lu arrived and presented five hundred taels of silver tickets.
Although it was quite hot, but it was finally the account back, and the jade shop was angry.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaohuan's eyebrows swept away the haze of waiting, and she generously said to Mrs. Lu's girl: "Tell Mrs. Lu for me, thank you, I'll invite her to tea another day." By the way, you are welcome to come to our jade shop often when you have time in the future, and recently there are a batch of new products in the store, which are deeply loved by the ladies and ladies in the city. ”
Xiao Guiyuan beside him was stunned when he heard this, he was obviously so angry just now that he couldn't sit still, why did he still invite people to tea?
When she came out of the Lu family, she couldn't help but ask, "Young grandma, she made you wait for so long, aren't you angry?" ”
"Angry!" Yu Xiaohuan said.
Xiao Guiyuan was even more puzzled, "Then why do you still invite her to tea?" ”
"It's just politeness, do you think her arrogant temper will come?" Yu Xiaohuan smiled indifferently.
Coming out of the Lu family, blowing the cool autumn breeze outside, I suddenly felt refreshed.
got into the carriage, returned to the jade shop, and handed over the five hundred taels of silver tickets to the shopkeeper, when the shopkeeper showed that surprised and flattering look on his face, Yu Xiaohuan smirked for a long time before he didn't show any expression of destroying the character.
The shopkeeper immediately took the opportunity to compliment Yu Xiaohuan well, and then knocked on the side, wanting to take the opportunity to let Yu Xiaohuan make persistent efforts to take back some other final payments, but who knew that Yu Xiaohuan said: "I'm afraid it's going to disappoint the shopkeeper, this Mrs. Lu probably won't come to our store to buy anything in the future." ”
The shopkeeper's face changed subtly, and he immediately swallowed back the wishful thinking that was about to come out, if it affected their turnover, their reward money would be in vain at the end of the year.
