Chapter 398: A Blessing in Disguise
Scar Qiang is really good at using psychological tactics, and he is coercive and tempting to the Hu family, if he doesn't have a little confidence, he may be intimidated by Scar Qiang.
Pei Heng suddenly jumped down from the tree, stood in front of Scar Qiang, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, since our little lady has won the jackpot, why don't you cash it?" ”
Scar Qiang looked at Pei Heng and said with a smile: "Why are you again?" Won't you be a little vigilant? ”
Pei Heng pulled Hu aside and whispered: "Little Niang, I already know about you, now is your chance to atone for your sins, don't make mistakes again and again." ”
Hu Shi looked at Pei Heng and asked, "However, if the master knows about this matter, I won't have a chance to stay in Qiao's Mansion." ”
Pei Heng smiled slightly, looked at Hu Shi and said, "Little lady, think about it, what can you do in your hands with this large amount of money?" Don't be intimidated by this man, and then the fat water will flow into the fields of outsiders. ”
Hu felt that what Pei Heng said made some sense, so he had the confidence to look at Scar and said; "That's right, the strong shopkeeper, it seems that you and I don't owe anything, no matter how you say bad things about me, the master also believes me."
Scar looked at Hu fiercely and asked, "Are you really not afraid that the master will kick you out of the house?" ”
Hu Shi gritted his teeth, looked at Scar's strong eyes and said: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, no matter what the master does to me, I have already paid back the money I owe, and these are even the compensation for my atonement." ”
Scar Qiang still wanted to intimidate, but found that it was no longer possible, so he said stupidly: "Mrs. Qiao, there is no way for us to wear so many silver taels on our bodies, you can go to the store with your credentials to get them when the time comes." ”
With that, he walked back indignantly.
Pei Heng walked up to Hu Shi and whispered: "Little lady, we also know that you used the money in your family to buy some word flowers before. But yesterday Pei Shuo and I really heard that Shopkeeper Liu and Scar Qiang were about to run away, if you want to save face, then you will really lose a thousand taels and cheapen them. ”
Hu Shi looked at Pei Heng tremblingly and asked, "You, how do you know this, what do you want?" ”
Pei Heng smiled slightly, looked at Hu Shi and said, "What do you think we will do to you?" Of course, I will ask the master to intercede, and then help you get back the 1,000 taels of silver! ”
Hu Shi looked at Pei Heng in disbelief: "Third prince, haven't you always been jealous and hateful, and hate me to the core?" How did it become so reasonable now? ”
Pei Heng shook his head gently, looked at Hu Shi helplessly and smiled, and said: "Little mother, it's not wrong that we are jealous and hateful, but you also have to see who is the real villain. But they donated money and fled, deceived the order, that is theft. How can stealing be compared to stealing? ”
Hu Shi looked at Pei Heng's way of speaking, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Pei Gongzi really understands righteousness, then, Hu Shi is here to thank you!" As he spoke, he bent his knees and prepared to bow, but was pulled by Pei Heng.
"I think you'd better go to the master and ask for guilt, and then we'll go and help you come back." As he spoke, he followed behind Hu Shi: "If you don't dare to say it, we will let Pei Ying or Pei You help you say it." ”
The Hu family looked at Pei Heng and said with a smile: "No, third prince, it's better for me to take the blame myself." ”
Everyone in the capital has heard the rumor that Shopkeeper Liu is about to run away, but now that he sees the crowds in front of the word flower shop, he is a little relieved.
Shopkeeper Liu saw that the white silver taels and the red silver tickets seemed to have slipped out of the floodgates, and the pain in his heart was there.
At this time, Pei Heng and Pei Shuo took Hu's receipt to receive the silver, and while taking out the receipt, they said to everyone: "Our rich flower shop has always been quality assurance, reputation first, we won a thousand taels of silver, and the shopkeeper is not bad!" ”
As he spoke, he and Pei Shuo carried a thousand taels of silver and walked back.
The hatred in the heart of Shopkeeper Liu has more or less dealings with the official family on weekdays, but this matter is also done by the official family. If you carry it yourself, you still think you are unlucky, if you tell the official, maybe you will have to punish the crime, it is really or not.
Inside Qiao's mansion, Qiao Youfu sat on the table angrily, slapped the table fiercely and said: "It's really a long time for you, when I saw that you were beautiful every day in the countryside and had no food, I brought you to the city to enjoy Qingfu, but you were good, you stole my money to gamble, you are really worthy of me!" ”
Hu Shi stood beside him dejectedly and let Qiao Youfu fall, at this time, Pei Heng and Pei Shuo walked in with the silver: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, the little lady has her silver, she has arrived." ”
Pei Youfu shook his head disapprethoughtly and refused: "The way is not right, the victory is not martial, the victory is not martial!" With that, he kept shaking his head, trying to kick the two out.
Pei Heng stepped forward and said: "Master doesn't have to be like this, it's her fault for the little lady to do this, but she has also made some money for the family, who hasn't made a mistake once or twice, the other little ladies in the mine have promised not to take an example, sir, you can forgive her!" ”
"Yes, yes, Dad, for the sake of money, forgive your mother, so that she won't share the family property with you!" Hu Ke'er didn't know when he also appeared in Qiao Youfu's room, with a reverent face, saying that Qiao Youfu had no temper.
"That's a word, this thousand taels of silver, even if it is the assets of your mother and daughter, you are not allowed to mention the matter of dividing the property in the future."
Hu Shi looked at the two heavy wooden boxes on the ground, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.
Hu Shi also found someone to estimate his ability before, so he went to negotiate with Qiao Youfu, and he was able to get one hundred taels if he decided it, but he was so desperate that he would come to one thousand taels. It's really a bicycle turned into a motorcycle.
What's more, in the final analysis, the one hundred taels were also begged by himself and Qiao Youfu, and he still owes favors. This thousand taels is rightfully theirs.
Hu thanked Qiao Youfu, and then prepared to go to his house, but he didn't take a few steps before he was stopped by Qiao Youfu: "Slow!" ”
Hu Shi turned his head and asked, "What else does the master command?" ”
Qiao Youfu asked gently, "Madam, should your capital be returned to me?" ”
Hu Shi nodded, looked at Qiao Youfu and said, "That's nature, that's nature, and the little one is now returned to the master." ”
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box and took out a few large silver ingots from it and stuffed them into Qiao Youfu's hands.
Hu Shi was ecstatic and walked towards his room with two large boxes of silver, and as he walked, he looked at Hu Ke'er and said, "Ke'er, now that we have someone to rely on, we don't have to live in fear anymore." ”
Hu Ke'er looked at Hu Shi blankly and nodded reluctantly.
Other people will soar when they have money, but how do they feel that they have money, but they can't seem to be arrogant?
Qiao You and Qiao Ying heard about yesterday's incident, and when they saw Pei Heng and Pei Shuo in the back garden, they hurriedly asked, "You guys are really powerful, if I were you, I would never go to this troubled water." ”
Pei Heng smiled awkwardly, looked at Qiao You and said, "Why are you so short-sighted?" If this silver pair is swept away by Shopkeeper Liu and Scar, not only will our family's money be wasted, but how many people in the capital will complain? ”
Pei You looked at Pei Heng with some indignation and said, "That's it, you are the kindest, for the heavens, fight for injustice, but you don't want to think about it, will that Scar Qiang retaliate?" ”
Pei Shuo looked at Pei Heng and whispered, "Brother, shouldn't they?" ”
Pei Heng stretched out his hand and gestured indifferently: "They can do something nonsense like this, are all the people in our Mingyue Villa dead?" ”
Pei Shuo was stunned by Qiao You's words, and looked at Pei Heng with some horror and said, "Brother, it's true, let's not go out for the time being these days." ”
Pei Heng looked at Pei Shuo with hatred, this kid has been timid and afraid of things since he was a child, even if he has great ability, such courage is destined to be difficult to achieve great things.
Besides, I don't see him on the street often on weekdays, so I don't know what he means.
At this time, suddenly a Xia eunuch in the palace ran over.
Eunuch Xia shouted in a sharp voice: "The emperor has an order to invite the three princes to the palace to discuss matters." ”
Pei Heng looked at the eunuch casually, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Xia, are you mistaken, I am no longer a pretense, if you respect me, you can call me Pei Gongzi or Pei Uncle." ”
Eunuch Xia frowned, looked at Pei Heng and said, "The third prince must not give up on himself. The emperor has named you to enter the palace to discuss matters, which is to acquiesce in your ability to reinstate your office. ”
After that, he straightened his purple robe, then touched his hands in the pockets, then stopped and looked at Pei Heng with gestured eyes.
Pei Shuo interestingly found some broken silver next to him and stuffed it into Eunuch Xia's hand
Eunuch Xia looked at Pei Heng with a strange yin and yang and said: "Your Majesty is very happy to hear about your grievances with the prince, so I personally invited you to the palace and rewarded you for your meritorious deeds!" ”
Pei Heng remembered that a few months ago, he was slandered by Li Ying, and he knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to forgive Qiao You, but the emperor was unmoved. Is he really hard-hearted?
Since you are hard-hearted, why do you have to do it for yourself now, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds?
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this word is really empathetic for Pei Heng.
He looked at Eunuch Xia with a sullen face and said with a smile: "Grandpa Xia's kindness, Pei Heng understands it, but you go back and tell Your Majesty that since I have left the palace, I am not going to go back, let him invite another Gao Ming." ”
Then he stretched out his hand, shook it triumphantly, and walked towards the back garden.
