Chapter 961: Embarrassment (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Before Su Jin sent Young Master Li back, the Li family was worried that the assassin had collected the ransom and finally tore up the ticket.
Now I don't worry about Little Master Li, I'm worried that I won't be able to catch up, Big Young Master Li and Master Li have already handed over the ransom to the assassins.
Once the money is sent out, it is difficult to recover it.
Grandma Li took Young Master Li down to change his clothes.
The clothes with patches on his body are really not in line with his name as the young master of the Li family.
There are also Steward Zhou and Su Jin, who had to be disguised in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the assassins.
Old Madam Li was a little embarrassed and said, "It's hard for the two stewards to be worried about the bumpy road for my Li family, so I asked the maid to lead you down to change your clothes." β
Su Jin's clothes were quite clean, but they didn't fit well, so he didn't refuse Old Madam Li's proposal.
The maid led Su Jin and them to change their clothes.
As soon as they left, Old Madam Li's face faded gently, and she became a little stern, "Go and check, has there been a letter sent by a servant to the house in the past few days?" β
This hijacking, no matter how you look at it, was premeditated.
No wonder when he was in Yuzhou, the assassins would send such a letter, not allowing them to find the child, and claiming that they had found it.
It turned out that Brother Duan'er was no longer in their hands at that time, and they were afraid that the Li family would know, so they led people all the way to Linzhou, anxious to ask for ransom.
Since Steward Zhou sent someone to deliver a letter to Li's house, it shouldn't be that the letter can't be delivered.
The only explanation is that the Li family has a mole!
Eating things inside and outside like this, the Li family will never tolerate it!
A quarter of an hour later, Su Jin changed into a brocade robe, and Xing'er asked Su Jin for it.
Steward Zhou is still dressed as a housekeeper, shrewd and capable.
Old Madam Li looked at Su Jin who was wearing a mask, her eyes moved slightly, no matter how you look at this person, it is not as simple as a steward.
Young Master Li changed his clothes, and when he entered the house, he ran directly to Su Jin's side, shouting for his father to hug him.
Su Jin liked Little Master Li very much, and really picked him up and sat in his arms.
Grandma Li Da Shao was really embarrassed, her face was red.
But no matter how she explained, Little Master Li stubbornly didn't listen.
Until his own father walked inβ
Young Master Li was stunned.
Why are there two dads?
Su Jin looked at the mask on the face of the eldest young master Li, although it was different from hers, but the difference was indistinguishable from the young master Li, who was only three or four years old.
In addition, Young Master Li only officially took over the Li family's business half a year ago, so he didn't have much time to stay in the mansion, and he didn't have much time to get along with Little Young Master Li.
When the child hasn't seen him for a long time, the impression is not so deep.
Young Master Li looked at his father, and then looked at Su Jin.
One was cold, and the other was holding him in his arms.
Young Master Li hid in Su Jin's arms and called her daddy.
Su Jin, "....... β
Young Master Li, "......." β
Zhou steward supports.
The princess of Zhenbei Wang spoils the child too much, and it has only been a few days, so she doesn't want his own father who is favored by Young Master Li.
Su Jin didn't know if her father who made a temporary cameo was too successful, or if the father of Young Master Li was too unsuccessful.
It's embarrassing anyway.
"Hold him down," said Master Li.
Grandma Li Da Shao wanted to step forward to hug the child.
After taking two steps, Young Master Li grabbed her.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward.
Su Jin thought to himself, this Young Master Li wouldn't be jealous of her, right?
Young Master Li didn't let the maid hug him, but in the end, Grandma Li took him away.
Since Young Master Li was called Su Jin's father, Grandma Li didn't want to stay in the house.
Young Master Li gestured to Su Jin and Steward Zhou, "Thanks to you for sending Duan'er back in time, my Li family was spared a heavy blow." β
Just now, it was so dangerous.
The boxes containing the silver tickets were delivered to the Assassins, who confirmed the number.
The little servant of the Li family said while running, "The little master has returned home!" β
Young Master Li's eyes were quick, he stepped on the back of his horse and rushed over, kicking the box away, and the silver tickets were scattered on the ground.
The assassins didn't have time to pick up the silver tickets, and the effort of bending down was enough to kill them.
Unable to get the silver ticket, the Assassin prepared to take the horse away.
It's just that the horse is raised by Li's family, and as soon as he whistles, the lead horse runs back.
The Assassins fled.
The little servant of the Li family picked up the silver ticket and put it in the brocade box, and the young master Li hurried back to the house.
Lost 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and thousands of good horses, the most important thing is to explain to the Marquis of Dongxiang.
Su Jin sent back Young Master Li in time, saying that it was not an exaggeration to say that he had saved half of the Li family.
Young Master Li thanked him, Steward Zhou stood up, but Su Jin didn't.
Young Master Li didn't recognize Steward Zhou, but Master Li recognized that the Zhou family's business was all over Daqi, and the Li family's horses were also all over Daqi.
The Li family bought grain and grass from the Zhou family to feed the horses, and the Zhou family bought horses from the Li family to deliver the goods.
The two families often have business dealings, and Steward Zhou is the most powerful steward around Master Zhou, and he often takes him with him.
Master Li wants to set up a banquet to entertain Steward Zhou.
Steward Zhou looked at Su Jin, and Su Jin said with a smile, "There's no need to set up a banquet, we have to go to the border pass on this trip, if that batch of war horses is okay, I want to take them to the border pass together." β
"This ......," Master Li was a little embarrassed.
Although Su Jin was the second steward of the Beauty Pavilion, this batch of Ma Dedong Township Marquis personally sent people, so he dared to deliver the goods with confidence.
Moreover, Dongxianghou's deposit was only half paid.
There is no reason to deliver the goods without paying the money.
But Su Jin and Steward Zhou only helped the Li family, and she made this request, if the Li family didn't agree, it would be too unkind.
Su Jin was not embarrassed by the Li family, and asked Xing'er to come out with a silver ticket.
In the simple and patched baggage, Xing'er grabbed a handful of silver tickets and asked, "How much money is missing from my lord's purchase of horses?" β
Butler Zhou supports the forehead.
Wealth is not exposed.
How can anyone take out the money so directly to show people.
However, it is also a well-known thing that the Beauty Pavilion is rich.
Thinking of Su Jin's ability to rob again, Steward Zhou took back the words "Cai Bubai".
If someone really covets her money, nine times out of ten they will send it to her door to rob her and send her money.
Knowing that the Li family was in trouble, Steward Zhou looked at Young Master Li and said, "Take a step to speak." β
Steward Zhou is shrewd and capable.
Now that Young Master Li has taken over the Li family's business, he is talking to Master Li, and it seems that he thinks that Young Master Li is unreliable.
Talking to him directly, it seems that he recognizes Young Master Li.
Moreover, Young Master Li called Su Jin his father, and Young Master Li couldn't hold his face, and Steward Zhou felt the need to explain.
The two walked a few steps away, and Steward Zhou only said a word, and Young Master Li's brows furrowed, unable to believe it.
"That's the princess of Zhenbei Wang, the daughter of the Marquis of Dongxiang, the Li family can just rest assured that the horses will be handed over to her," Steward Zhou said.
In terms of strategy, Steward Zhou felt that there were few men who could compare to the princess of Zhenbei Wang.
Dongxiang Hou and Mrs. Dongxiang Hou are not ordinary people who can teach children.
The eldest young master and the youngest young master of the Dongxiang Hou Mansion are all dragons and phoenixes among people.
Even those little young masters who live in Dongxiang Hou's Mansion have changed a lot.
The Zhou family has no young master, otherwise Master Zhou would have to stuff the child over if he was cheeky.
Knowing that Su Jin's identity was not just as simple as the second steward of the Beauty Pavilion, but as a princess of the court, Young Master Li agreed to let her take the horses to the border gate.
And the remaining 40,000 taels, the Li family will not accept it.
Young Master Li's move really shocked Master Li and Old Madam Li.
Originally, these horses would not make money, and the Li family admired the style of Dongxiang Hou, and they should have a good fate.
But if you don't accept 40,000 taels, it is equivalent to the Li family sending half of the war horses to the imperial court.
Young Master Li and Old Madam Li both felt that Young Master Li's move was too impulsive.
But Young Master Li has already said it, and they are not easy to talk back, and besides, they also believe that their sons and grandchildren will not act so impulsively.
Young Master Li said, "Dongxiang Hou wants a lot of horses, and there are not many of you, so I will send more people to help you, it may be delayed for a day or two." β
"It's not safe outside the house, these two days, a few people will stay at my Li family, and let my Li family do their best to be a landlord."
Steward Zhou looked at Su Jindao, "Let's stay at Li's house for the next two days." β
Su Jin nodded and said, "Then bother." β
