Chapter 57: Between Buying and Selling
Is there so much money that you don't have to say? Ruan Yanzhe was so surprised that he showed two chins, even if he had a beautiful beard, he couldn't stop it.
"Three girls, you remember correctly, right? The third uncle remembered that you earned tens of thousands of taels when you sold kites before, and there were many years allocated to the second sister-in-law in the palace. "Even if you buy all the toys in the world, you can't spend so much, Ruan Yanzhe thought to himself.
Ruan Miaoling snapped her fingers and said, "Third uncle, you only know one and don't know the other, you did make a lot of money selling kites before, and you can see the number of years there...... 50,000 taels of gold gave 10,000 taels to the eldest son of the Xu family as a thank you, spent 10,000 taels for Sande's father-in-law to renovate the mansion, and just yesterday it cost him 10,000 taels to build a theater for him. ”
"Isn't there another 10,000 taels?" Ruan Yanzhe leaned on the armrest of the circle chair with his legs crossed, grabbed a handful of jelly beans with his right hand and stuffed it into his mouth, picked up the red date tea with his left hand and took three or two sips of the cow drink, and continued: "The third uncle doesn't want much, half of it will not be, and I will pay you back after the New Year." ”
"What will the third uncle use after the New Year?"
Ruan Miaoling's fingertips swiped over the account book, and Juanxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, "I forgot!" Lord Lu's military camp was hit by a mountain fire, and Uncle Ren persuaded me to donate 10,000 taels to show my patriotism. ”
The corners of Ruan Yanzhe's mouth twitched, "There are many ways to be patriotic, how cheesy it is to give money." ”
There are a lot of people who don't need money, for example, in the vegetable market to watch the execution of death row prisoners, they throw a few rotten vegetable leaves and broken shoes in the atmosphere, and so on, or for example, there is a rumor in the capital that someone is a big traitor, and everyone will spread the word of mouth and jointly denounce it as soon as they hear about it, and the momentum is extremely huge......
Big pen should write big words, and adults should do big things. is also a patriotic heart, ordinary people just need to use their mouths, and it is not worth spending too much.
Ruan Miaoling pinched the wolf pen that was not dipped in ink and knocked it on the table, and blurted out: "But I only have money." And Lu Jin's military camp only needs money.
This truth gave Ruan Yanzhe a blow to his heart. "And what about your mother's year?" You can always borrow this.
Ruan Miaoling shook her head, "It's difficult, the year is for my mother, and I can't pass it without her signature and Sande father-in-law." ”
Deceitful! Nguyen almost jumped up. Princess Baozhen was not there last year, and the Dongfu still got half of the year, could it be that this rule has not been changed this year?
"Three girls, there was no such cumbersome procedure last year."
Ruan Miaoling said: "When people change their rules, they naturally have to change with them, third uncle, you have eaten more rice than I have walked, and you should know the truth better than me." ”
Oh, Sande's father-in-law is not an ordinary person, Ruan Yanzhe remembered after she said this.
This goods have to be thrown away compared to goods, people have to die more than people, the celebrant is acting according to the emperor's will, and he is confident. Unlike the little father-in-law who came to the Ministry of Rites last year, he was afraid of three points when he saw him.
"How's that to be? If you can't borrow money, you won't be able to live this year, and your second aunt has to nag and beat people at every turn, she is just digging into the eyes of money, three girls, look at ......"
Ruan Yanzhe lifted his cuffs, and the bruises on his delicate and white arms were scattered and scattered, "This is where your second aunt pinched, pulled with broken porcelain, bitten with her mouth, and bitten by a dog...... How can you live this day! ”
"I'm off."
Hearing this, Ruan Yanzhe stopped crying and looked at Ruan Miaoling, and raised his eyebrows: "You motherless child doesn't study well, they all say that you would rather demolish a temple than destroy a marriage, and you actually persuaded me to divorce my wife?" ”
Gu Ren stood by the door and said coldly: "I said it, the third master thinks it's wrong?" "This fool can't even tell if the voice is male or female?
"Oh!"
Ruan Yanzhe turned his head and shouted, stretched out his index finger and pointed at Gu Ren: "It's all because you horsemen say some foul language every day, the third girl is getting longer and crooked, and her heart and eyes are wilting, she doesn't dare to do this when the second child is here!" ”
Ruan Miaoling got up behind the table, with two tears in her bright eyes. "Since the third uncle made a special trip to admonish Miaoling, why did he beat around the bush and said that he wanted to borrow money? Why don't we go to the courtyard, and tell me all about your dissatisfaction with me in Xifu, and we will correct our mistakes. "Let's go around the table and go outside.
Ruan Yanzhe's anger was immediately extinguished by a basin of cold water, and he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Third girl, you misunderstood...... Third Uncle I came to borrow money, Fang was impulsive, not the third uncle's intention. ”
"Words are the voice of the heart, the third uncle must have a lot of dissatisfaction with Miaoling, don't worry, we can talk slowly."
Ruan Miaoling walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "The General's Restaurant has been unable to make ends meet, why not sell it." ”
Ruan Yanzhe, who sells the restaurant, never thought that his wife said that he would leave Miaoyi as a dowry in the future, and selling the restaurant is equivalent to selling the land, if the lady knew, she would not kill him!
A few servants carried a piece of Taihu Lake stone through the courtyard, and asked them to cross their waists and said, "This broken stone is unlucky, and the third master went wrong as soon as he came, broke it and threw it away." ”
Ruan Yanzhe saw that the servant was quickly disappearing on a stretcher, and there was nowhere to chase if he wanted to, and a Taihu stone could earn a lot of silver taels when he changed hands...... He thought about it for a while, and he made more money selling the restaurant than that, and then he was relieved.
"Third girl, you have a clever head, is there any way to introduce you to the third uncle?"
"Li Yuanwai."
Ruan Yanzhe was stunned, the Li Yuanwai who was scolded by him for being a fool before and spent 50,000 taels of gold to buy a few fire kites?
……
Isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world, Dafukuji Temple is hidden in the long mountain fog, a horse-drawn carriage is parked at the back door of the Buddhist temple, and the horses are hanging their heads and gnawing on the hoofless weeds under the steps.
Xiangqiao's back leans against the wall of the car, always paying attention to the closed Buddhist door.
Although the sensible Xiangqiao had never met Princess Baozhen, she knew that she was an extremely important old person to Princess Lingyang.
The Buddhist door is quiet, Xiangqiao suddenly remembered a song she had learned before, and rolled up her sleeves and raised her orchid fingers to open her lips in the wind. The wind blows off the pine needles, the cow hair falls like a drizzle, and the song vibrates the forest......
"I want to hate him and miss him, but once we see him, it is difficult to keep him ......" (1)
When Princess Lingyang came out, it was already dark for half an hour, and Xiangqiao hurriedly put on a fox fur cloak for her, but found that two unknown people came out of the temple, and they had hair.
The eldest princess looked displeased, and was helped into the carriage by Xiangqiao, without saying anything all the way.
When she returned to the eldest princess's mansion, two dazzling red lanterns were lit in the autumn wind, and the eldest princess raised her hand to stop the two people who were going to follow up the mansion, no longer the usual gentleness, and her attitude was very indifferent.
"Although I am old, I am not blind, where did you come from and what you want to do to deceive everyone, but you can't hide it from me."
The two of them were expressionless, and said something that Xiangqiao couldn't understand.
"The eldest princess is smart and we all know, but some things are destined to be dusted and dusted, if you don't say it, it is good for Princess Baozhen and Miss Ruan San."
"Giving Baozhen the pill of soft tendons is what you call good? Baozhen has three long and two short, and the three girls will become bitter children without a father and a mother, tell me what's good! ”
The two of them said again: "This is a deal, please don't forget the promise of the eldest princess and disappoint Lord Li." ”
Xiangqiao noticed that the eldest princess's arm trembled slightly, is the person they are talking about Li Chongshan Li? is just a military secretary, why should the eldest princess be afraid of him?
There is also the emperor who supports the eldest princess.
