Chapter 941: Borrowing Money
The waterway is impassable, the pedestrians are jammed in the same state, and the street is extra lively.
There are many people, and the shouting of small vendors is particularly loud.
Su Jin and Xing'er walked half the street.
Xing'er saw that there was a sugar gourd seller, so she bought two bunches and handed one to Su Jin.
Su Jin said, "I can't eat sugar gourds now. ”
"Why?" Apricot wondered.
Su Jin glanced at her belly, and Xing'er knew that it was related to being pregnant.
But when I'm pregnant, I can't eat sugar gourds.
She has eaten enough skewers, what about the skewers?
After Su Jin became pregnant, she became more interested in those children's things.
She looked at tiger head shoes.
The shoe seller was a woman, accompanied by a girl of three or four years old.
Seeing that she was cute, Xing'er handed her the sugar gourd.
The little girl was a little scared, and the woman thanked her, "Thank you, little brother." ”
Su Jin picked out two pairs of tiger head shoes, and Xing'er looked at her, "Do you want to buy them?" ”
Su Jin reluctantly put down his shoes.
It's not that she can't afford it, and it's a trivial matter for her to buy the whole street, but she is going to the border and can't bring two pairs of tiger head shoes with her.
Seeing Su Jin put the shoes down, the woman's eyes dimmed a little and said, "I made these shoes myself, they are very strong, buy them back and wear them for the child." ”
Su Jin saw that the woman really wanted to do her business, so he took the shoes and said to Xing'er, "Pay." ”
Apricot pulled out a silver ingot.
The woman closed her mouth with joy.
was looking for money, and a woman in Tsing Yi came over there, "Chunlan, you can lend me some money." ”
When the woman saw her red-eyed, she hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”
The woman in Tsing Yi's eyes were red, "Caitou's father was injured in hard labor, saying that he injured his waist and vomited blood, and my father-in-law asked someone to give me a message and asked me to hurry up and ask the doctor to go back." ”
They came out to do business together, and she hadn't sold much yet, not enough to hire a doctor.
The woman in Tsing Yi was at a loss, and the woman asked while taking the money, "How can you hurt your waist?" Didn't you help carry grain and grass onto the boat, and it was not a problem for his father to carry two bags of vegetables. ”
"It's not about moving grain and grass," said the woman in Tsing Yi urgently.
"I don't know what he moved, I went back yesterday and fell asleep, and there were bruises on my back."
"I was going to let him rest for one night before going, but he didn't say that the salary was high, and he couldn't bear the ...... of that day's wages."
The pillars of the family have fallen like this, how will she live in the future?
The woman in Tsing Yi burst into tears.
The woman hurriedly gave all the money in her hand to the woman in Tsing Yi.
The woman in Tsing Yi took the money bag, grabbed the two taels of silver on the table and said, "Lend me this too, and I will pay you back when I go back." ”
And without waiting for the woman's answer, she took the money and ran.
The woman jumped to her feet anxiously, "That's not my money." ”
The woman wanted to chase but couldn't, the small stall was her hard work, she looked at Su Jin, afraid that Su Jin would lift her small stall, and said hurriedly, "What can I do about this?" ”
Su Jin didn't put the two taels of silver in her eyes, she was thinking about what the woman in Tsing Yi said just now.
The boats requisitioned by the imperial court were for transporting grain and grass, but listening to the words of the woman in Tsing Yi, it seemed that it was not grain and grass that was carried on the boat?
Before, Su Jin wanted to take a hitchhiker, but he felt that something was wrong.
General Chen is the first general under the Marquis of Northern Hebei, and he is far from being comparable to a small prefect.
She borrowed the name of General Chen to take a boat, but she didn't even see the prefect.
Even if it is for the sake of the safety of the grain and grass, what can she and Xing'er do with the grain and grass, set fire to the grain and grass?
Governor Qian was right to have this concern, but the favor sent to the door was rejected like this, and it definitely didn't look like a person in the officialdom.
Confirm that she is General Chen's nephew, sell him a favor, if not, arrest her, the person who pretends to be General Chen's nephew, is also a credit to General Chen.
It would not be wrong to do anything, but he chose to send her away......
Could it be that there is something really wrong with that ship?
Seeing Su Jin's distraction, Xing'er called, "Childe? ”
Su Jin came back to his senses and said, "You help me find out what he helped transport on the ship, and I don't want the money." ”
The woman hurriedly said, "Where does Childe live, if Childe is not in a hurry, I will inquire when I return to the village later, and Ming'er will tell you." ”
Tomorrow?
She will leave the Tongzhou Mansion early tomorrow morning.
Su Jin stretched out his hand towards Xing'er.
Apricot pulled out two or two again.
Su Jin put two taels of silver ingots on the small stall and said, "I bought all of these, you hire a carriage to go back, inquire clearly, and immediately go to the Youfu Inn in front to find me." ”
"You're going to play tricks on me, the consequences are not something you can bear."
The woman was grateful.
She didn't know why Su Jin was curious about the things that were shipped on the ship, but she knew very well that she had met the God of Wealth today, otherwise she didn't know when all these tiger head shoes would be sold out.
She wanted to put up the tiger head shoes, Su Jin said, "I just want these two pairs, and you can dispose of the rest." ”
After speaking, Su Jin stepped away.
Xing'er urged, "Hurry up and inquire, my son-in-law has no patience to wait for someone." ”
The woman should have been.
The woman hired no carriage, but hired an ox cart and returned to the village with the children and the tiger shoes.
Su Jin walked around the street for half an hour, but he didn't buy much, or he couldn't hold back his desire to buy, and after buying it, he gave it to the children playing on the street.
I found a restaurant, ate a good meal, and walked around for half an hour, and then went back to the restaurant.
When they returned, the young man hurriedly said, "The two guest officers are back, and a woman has been waiting for you for half an hour." ”
"Where is she?" Su Jin asked.
"Help wash the dishes in the backyard."
“……。”
Xing'er looked at the young man and said, "How can you let my son-in-law's guests wash the dishes?" ”
The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, "It's not that I want, it's that the woman can't sit still and asks me if I can use her place ......." ”
The young man is also a sincere person, and the inn has a lot of places to use people, so he took her to the backyard.
When Apricot went to the backyard, the woman was brushing the dishes and brushing hard.
People who are used to doing rough work cannot be idle.
She had never entered the inn, although she was looking for someone, the masked son, the young man knew that she was looking for Su Jin as soon as she heard it, but the woman was still afraid that she would be kicked out.
Find some work to do, and your heart will be empty.
Su Jin didn't have a backyard, so she went upstairs directly.
Xing'er took the woman upstairs, Su Jin picked up the teacup and asked, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”
"Inquire clearly," replied the woman.
"Vegetable head's father is not carrying grain and grass, but sand and stones."
Su Jin's eyebrows furrowed, "Sand? ”
"Stones?" Apricot's eyes widened.
Both of them looked at the woman with four eyes, and she felt weak, "That's what Caitou's father told me, and at first he refused to say it, but he told me when I forced him." ”
When he fell, it cost at least five taels of silver to cure his illness.
She said that the two taels of silver ingots belonged to the guest, and that if he was willing to tell him what was in the sacks he was carrying, the two taels of silver ingots did not have to be returned.
Two taels is a lot of income for their family.
The woman in Tsing Yi urged the man to tell him, and the man was willing to tell the woman.
The woman said, "Daddy is an honest man and won't lie." ”
Su Jin frowned and said, "It's the ship that carries stones and sand into the grain?" ”
"Surely almost all the ships were requisitioned by the imperial court," the woman said.
"The ship is not full of stones and sand, and there is grain and grass, but not much."
Su Jin also knew that she just felt that something was wrong, so she asked.
Since the grain and grass are sent to the border gates, do you dare to send stones and sand?
This kind of practice that obviously can't deceive people is even more wrong because someone does it.
This news was too useful for Su Jin.
Su Jin asked Xing'er to reward her with a tael of silver, and let her go.
The woman thanked her and went away happily.
As soon as the woman left, Xing'er was puzzled, "If you dare to transport stones to deceive the Hou Ye, you will be skinned." ”
"I believe that the governor of Tongzhou is very clear about this," Su Jindao said.
Knowing that you can't do it is definitely a big problem.
It's a pity that the dark guard is not there, otherwise he could still be allowed to go to the ship to check.
There is a coachman next to him, and he is not skilled in martial arts, so Su Jin can only hold back his thoughts, and wait until tomorrow to see the Zhou family's steward to see if he has a way.
It's just that Su Jin was a step late, and when she went to the dock, the ships carrying grain had already set off.
