823 How to Resolve It?
Li Yueru recognized the family seal, and she didn't run away, the little girl was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and whispered why her young lady recognized it, because this recognition made the tea house even more unforgiving, and they couldn't leave.
Li Yueru said helplessly: "That's indeed my Li Mansion's family seal, how can I not recognize it?" If I don't admit it at this time, won't it be even more difficult for me to fall into the hands of others, and I will not really become a wicked person who owes money and does not pay it? ”
The little maid had nothing to say, and the owner of the tea house said loudly: "It's good for you to admit it, and it will save people from saying that our Zhuangzi bullies the big girl." Now the human and physical evidence are there, Miss Li, return the silver, a total of 430,000 taels of silver, you can leave after you pay it off, and we will give you a few taels of tea for nothing to express our gratitude. ”
Li Yueru was very helpless, "I really don't have so much silver, and no one will go out with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets." Don't worry, I'm talking, and when I get home, I'll tell my dad and ask him to pay back all the money he owes, okay? ”
"Not good!" The boss decisively refused, "Don't go with us to fix this set, it's not that the people of your Li family haven't been here before, and they all say the same thing when they go back, they all say that they will go back and ask the account room to get the silver, but as long as they go back, they will disappear." Don't let our people go back with us, our people can't enter the bachelor's mansion at all, and the Li family will not come out again as soon as they enter, and our young man has been beaten for this. Miss Li, please change your trick, this trick doesn't work anymore. ”
"Then let my maid go back first, and I'll stay and wait." Li Yueru was very resolute, and immediately said to the maid beside her, "Fudong, you go back to the house immediately and tell the housekeeper about the matter here." If you really owe money to someone, let them pay it off immediately. ”
The little maid called Fudong was about to cry, why didn't her young lady open her mind, if the house wanted to repay the money, it would have been repaid a long time ago, and it would have been delayed until today? But this young lady just doesn't understand, and she can't say it in front of so many people, the young lady is going to drive her back to her house at this time, can she go back? The maid ran away, leaving the young lady here to face these men, how to explain when she went back? She must not be beaten to death by her wife! It's a person who is about to die.
"Miss, the slave and maid can't go, or you go back to the house and say, the slave and maid stay as hostages."
"No way!" The people at the tea house quit, "What's the use of leaving a girl with us less of this?" Is there still a shortage of maids in the bachelor's house? When no one comes to collect it, will we have to take care of the food? If you want to go back and report the news, you can leave Miss, and no one else can do it. ”
When Li Yueru heard this, she wanted to insist on staying by herself, but she had no choice but to pull her sleeve and whispered, "Miss, don't you understand?" Our house will not repay this silver, if we want to pay them back, we will pay it back a long time ago. You must not stay here, if it really doesn't work, we will find a way to run, they are just trying to stop them, and they don't dare to really take charge of people. ”
Li Yueru frowned when she heard this, and Fudong's words woke her up, yes, if the house wanted to repay the silver, it would have been repaid a long time ago, and it would have to wait until everyone was anxious and surrounded the people of the Li family when they saw it?
In the final analysis, the problem lies with the Li family, she is the Li family, and she knows her family very well. In the past, the Li family relied on a virtuous concubine in the palace, and they had a close relationship with the Ye family outside, plus the five princes, under the triple guarantee, their Li family's life was arrogant. Her father is only a second-grade university scholar, but many times the life of the Li family is better than that of the prime minister of Zhengyipin.
This is not her father's ability, but the glory that her in-laws have brought to the Li family.
It's a pity that Concubine Li Xian died, the Ye family was ruined, and there was only one fifth prince left, who was sent to the Northland, and he didn't know if he could come back alive. Today's Li family is the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and even the tea house on East Street is unwilling to take credit anymore.
But she came to buy tea today with silver, and she never thought of taking credit, and if the accounts in the account book were true, it was also from her family, her father, on credit. But she bumped into it today and was grabbed by someone.
Seeing Li Yueru standing at the door of the tea house embarrassed and ashamed, Yingchun sighed softly: "I heard that it is not the first time that the Li family has been collected for debts, the tea house is still less, and Huafulou owes more than two million taels, all of which are credited by the ladies of the Li Mansion in the city on weekdays when they make jewelry." There is also Tianyizhuang, there are also more than a dozen taels of silver owed, that is, Liuxian Lou has not let go, Li Daxue used to invite wine and dinner in Liuxian Lou, and he did not give silver several times, and Liuxian Lou has already sued the government. ”
On the street outside, some onlookers also opened their mouths, and some said: "This young lady is really unlucky, where is it not good, you have to get the tea house that you owe your own debts." It seems to be a sensible girl, but I don't know how to deal with this matter. ”
Another person said: "Come on, how can there be a sensible person in the Li family, it seems that being sensible doesn't mean that she is really sensible, otherwise why don't you say that she will pay back the money she owes?" 400,000 taels, we don't dare to think about it in our lives, but the Li family is a bachelor's house, and there are a lot of Zhuangzi shops in our hands, so it's impossible to not pay it back, right? ”
"It's really possible that you can't pay it back, after all, it's not just this one family, it's a lot of people! If you can repay it early, the New Year is coming, who wants to spend the New Year with debts? I look at the Li family, I can't turn over this body, and I blame these shops, I used to see the Li family in full swing, in order to earn the Li family's silver, I rushed to give credit to others. It's okay now, and I'm smashing my feet. ”
"It's no wonder that the store, which of those high-ranking families doesn't take things to keep accounts, and settle them again once a month and three months. However, the Li family owes it for a year, which is too much, and I don't know if this young lady can pay it back. ”
Li Yueru was even more embarrassed when she heard these words, she didn't know that her reputation was bad, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.
Since Concubine Li Xian's death, her father Li Guangnian has become very low-key, and even so low-key that he can't hide it. It's just that no matter how hidden you are, you can't hide the foreign debts you owe, and no matter how hidden you are, you can't hide your arrogance.
Bai Heran lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Ma Pingchuan: "You go and tell the shopkeeper of the tea house and ask him to take someone to the bachelor's mansion to ask for the account, as long as the bill is true, the bachelor's mansion will not pay it." If the door can't be opened, or if there is a conflict, I will go to the Yamen of the government to complain in my name. I, the white crane dye, will definitely give them justice. Miss Li is just a weak woman, and she shouldn't be asked for an account, so she said that her father-in-law would talk to Miss Li and let them go. As she spoke,
Ma Pingchuan agreed and went, and after a while, Li Yueru stood under the carriage of Bai Heran, with tears in her eyes, and said with humiliation: "The courtiers thank the princess for their help, today's kindness is there, but the princess in Japan has a request, Yueru will never refuse." ”
Bai Heran asked Yingchun to lift the curtain, and then beckoned to her, "Come on, I'll send you home." Today, I just happened to pass by here, and he won't have anything to repay you in the future, so you don't have to take it to heart. ”
Li Yueru hesitated a little, "Princess Tianci just returned to Beijing today, will I be too disturbed?" ”
Bai Heran shook his head, "Don't bother, but if Miss Li has something, I won't stay longer." ”
"I, I'm fine." Li Yueru hurriedly shook her head, and then said to Fu Dong beside her, "I'll take the carriage of the princess of heaven to go back, you hire a carriage yourself, and go home first!" ”
Fu Dong was not at ease, "Miss, the slave wants to follow you." ”
"No, you don't." Li Yueru shook her head resolutely, "The people from the tea house have already gone to the Bachelor's Mansion, you hire a car, the distance is faster, try to get ahead of them and talk to the family." Today I caused trouble for my family, and my father didn't know how to punish me when I went back! You go quickly, if you don't prepare at home, I'm afraid I will be punished even more. ”
Fu Dong also felt that this was a big deal, so he stopped talking and trotted all the way to hire a carriage.
Li Yueru got into the carriage, Yingchun sat outside the carriage, and rushed to the car with Ma Pingchuan.
The car was still driving very slowly, and I could vaguely hear someone below talking about what had just happened, and I even heard someone say: "Miss Li is really lucky, she met the princess of Tianci, and no matter how much the tea house is, she will not dare to go against the will of the princess." I just don't know if the silver can come out smoothly, if it really goes to the government, the Li family will be too ugly. ”
Li Yueru lowered her head deeply, and the outsider's discussion of the Li family made her feel very ashamed, and even made her almost shameless to face Bai Heran. She grew up in envious eyes, although she was not proud of it, but she never thought that one day she would be embarrassed like this. The change in the situation made Li Yueru a little at a loss.
Bai Heran saw her predicament and took the initiative to speak: "The world is impermanent, no one can predict what the situation will be tomorrow, you are like this, and I am the same." I used to be inferior to you, and you used to be so much better than me. Those days when you were a young lady in the Bachelor's Mansion were the darkest years I spent in the Guogong Mansion, sleeping with cockroaches and eating with mice. It's just that from simplicity to luxury, from luxury to simplicity, I am climbing up from the trough, and you are falling down from the height. I am telling you this to tell you that it is impossible for people to run in a straight line to the dark in this life, there will always be twists and turns, it depends on how you face and resolve these things. ”
Li Yueru finally looked up at her, although the white crane in front of her still had a tired face, Li Yueru just felt that the person in front of her was shining all over her body, and her eyes were shining with stars.
She asked Bai Heran: "Can it really be resolved?" I don't know exactly what my dad has done all these years, but I know a little bit about it, and I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen to me. So, how to resolve it? ”
Bai Heran smiled, "You said that it was your father, he dissolved his, you dissolved yours, and the two did not conflict." ”
Li Yueru didn't understand, "I am the daughter of the Li family, how can I only take care of myself?" Isn't my destiny supposed to be tied to my family? If he doesn't resolve it, how can I get out of the predicament? ”
Li Yueru's eyes were full of confusion......
