Chapter 34 Climbing the Wall Ladder
Hearing Liu Menghan's question, Pei Shufen bowed and sighed: "It's just a matter of family." β
Liu Menghan nodded sympathetically and said, "If Madam doesn't say it, I can understand." In short, if there is any difficulty, Madame will go to the place where I live to find me. Nothing else can help, but there is some silver, and it is also put away. If you need it, just take it. "Very generous.
Pei Shufen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even if you have silver, what can you do?" Besides, you are a woman's family, with two children, so you should keep the silver for self-defense. You won't understand what is going on in our house. β
Liu Menghan became more and more curious, and said to Pei Shufen: "Not far in front is my family's house. If Madame doesn't give up her dislike, it is good to come to my house and sit down, have a cup of tea, and relieve boredom. As for the silver, we will discuss it again. As he spoke, he pointed to the big mansion not far away.
Pei Shufen said to one of her mothers-in-law: "Go back and tell Master Hou, just say that I will go to Aunt Liu's house to sit and go back in the evening." β
That woman has always been a long-mouthed woman, and Pei Shufen deliberately brought her out today. The contrived greetings between her and Liu Menghan in front of people were also for people to see.
Sure enough, this mother-in-law returned to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, first went to Chu Huajin to report the news, and said with added fuel and vinegar: "Master Hou doesn't know, our lady has met a noble person this time." Pei Shufen showed her tone in front of this mother-in-law, saying that the Hou Ye was worried about the money.
Chu Hua thought that Pei Shufen had borrowed the silver from the Luo family, so he was very happy and asked the woman: "Is the Luo family warm?" β
The smile on the woman's face froze, and she said with some embarrassment: "Madame is in Luo's house, sit down and come out." The Luo family was so good-mouthed that they blocked Mrs.'s words so much that Mrs. wanted to speak. I couldn't find a chance. "That is to say, the Luo family refuses to help.
Chu Huajin's heart was half discouraged, he sat back in the chair with a heavy face, and continued to ask: "Then how do you say that Madame met a nobleman?" - Who else? He muttered in his heart again, isn't the Pei family willing to help? But even if the Pei family has the heart, they are powerless.
Chu Hua didn't believe that the Pei family had taken out such a large sum of silver. You can't take out even half of it.
The mother-in-law smiled again: "It's Aunt Liu, who came to the house that day." "has learned from Pei Shufen, and Liu Menghan has automatically promoted Liu Menghan to the aunt of the older generation.
"Is that her?!" Chu Huajin was stunned for a long time, "How do you say this?" β
The woman learned Liu's words again, and said, "But Madame is tactful." Aunt Liu invited Mrs. Liu to her house to talk in detail. He also smacked his lips and said, "Aunt Liu lives in such a big house." There is a lot of money to think about. β
Chu Hua listened carefully, was silent for a long time, and said to the mother-in-law: "You go down first." β
In the evening, Chu Huajin came to Zhonglan Courtyard and saw that Pei Shufen had returned. Removing makeup. So he asked her a little angrily: "How many times have I told you, but you don't listen!" - That kind of woman, what do you do with her? And how much money does she have? The left is just some ...... leaking out of my dad's fingers."
Pei Shufen wanted to explain to Chu Huajin in detail, but at this time, seeing that Chu Huajin still didn't like Liu Menghan very much, he simply cut through the mess quickly. took a note written by Liu Menghan and showed it to Chu Huajin, and said, "Master Hou, don't worry. You see. This is the number that Mrs. Liu can take. β
When Chu Hua saw the numbers written on it, he immediately kept silent. After looking at it for a long time, he asked Pei Shufen: "...... Where did she get all this money? Don't talk big, right? β
Pei Shufen sneered and said, "I have to ask the old marquis." - You take good care of the outside room......"
The number written on the note can pay off most of the IOUs. However, there is still a small part, which needs to be paid by the Marquis of Ningyuan himself. It's just that a small part, which is completely out of the question, can be offset with the liquid silver in the house now.
Chu Hua was relieved when he saw that the silver had been settled, and asked Pei Shufen: "How much silver does she have?" What are the conditions? β
Pei Shufen took off the hairpin on her head and said casually: "She said, she is a woman's family, and if this silver falls into her hands, if it is known to others, it will be a curse rather than a blessing." So I'd rather take it out and use it as money to buy the road, and beg us to allow them to enter the genealogy of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion and get a blessing. He also said: "She also said that she knew that we were separated." So she still left a little silver for the marriage of her two children, and she would not let Hou Ye pay for it again. β
Chu Huajin twisted the note in his hand for a long time, and asked Pei Shufen with a calm face: "That's all?" "There was some disbelief.
Pei Shufen looked back and smiled: "Do you think it's easy?" Also, let my mother personally invite her to come over. - I don't want to think that my mother can agree. So the conditions of this Aunt Liu's wife are really not low. β
Chu Hua thought about it for a while, walked around the house with his hands behind his back, and said, "It's more troublesome for my mother." ββEnter the door when you enter the door, why do you need your mother to invite you in person? β
Pei Shufen took off the earrings again and said with a smile: "People fight for a breath, and trees fight for a mouthful of skin." She took out her entire net worth, which can be regarded as a great help to Master Hou. Since my mother refuses to take out the private room for Hou Ye, she should also do something else for Hou Ye, right? It's just moving your feet and moving your mouth. In fact, the old Hou Ye is gone, is the Hou Ye still worried that someone will spoil his concubine and kill his wife, and hurt his mother's dignity? - If the mother doesn't want to do anything, she will be the lady of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in vain. Besides, if something happens to the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, which one can benefit? β
Chu Hua thought so. It's just an outer room, and the old man is no longer there, and when he enters the house, are you afraid that she will turn the world upside down?
"What about the genealogy of the old patriarch? Didn't you say that you were going to write down a flat wife for her? Chu Huajin asked again.
Pei Shufen said with a smile: "Aunt Liu promised to take a step back, not to be a flat wife, but only to be a second room." It's just that the two children should be recorded in the name of the mother and regarded as a concubine. For the sake of family affairs. β
Chu Hua breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Liu family does not seek to be a flat wife, everything is easy to discuss. Besides, taking out such a large sum of silver is enough to show her sincerity. - As for the two children being recorded as concubines, it doesn't matter even more. This kind of registered heir, everyone knows, but it is good-looking on the face, and something else. No benefit at all.
A woman's family, without silver, can't turn the wind and waves anywhere.
Pei Shufen also joked: "Why doesn't Master Hou think like this: if she enters the mansion, she will be a concubine, but she will be easy to handle." Those two children, aren't they at the disposal of Hou Ye? - In two days, the creditors will come to the door again. Hou Ye has to hurry. Aunt Liu said, entered the door, and immediately helped Hou Ye repay the IOU. "It's clear that you don't see a rabbit or an eagle.
Chu Huajin nodded, and immediately got up and said, "I'll go talk to my mother." "If Liu Menghan wants to enter the door, he needs Mrs. Tai to invite him personally. This is one of the conditions for taking out the money. There are also two children to be recorded in the name of Mrs. Tai and regarded as concubines.
Pei Shufen watched Chu Hua rush to Mrs. Tai's Cining Courtyard and smiled slightly.
What mother and child? For the sake of silver, don't you turn your eyes on the same?!
Chu Huajin came to Mrs. Tai's Cining Courtyard, and Mrs. Tai had just eaten bird's nest porridge in the evening. I'm talking to Grandma Sun.
I heard that Chu Huajin is here. Mrs. Tai didn't know what was going on. Hurry up and let him in.
Mama Sun took the initiative to go to the outer room to guard with interest, and gave the inner room to the mother and son.
Chu Hua asked Mrs. Tai first: "Mother, my son wants to ask you, do you want to help your son repay this silver?" He also talked about the impact of this matter on his election of officials.
Mrs. Tai frowned, and only said after a while: "In my opinion, that Chinese military governor." Don't do it. "This is rather Chu Huajin eat and fall in front of the saint than help him.
Chu Huajin was also sneering in his heart. said angrily: "It's better for my son to resign and return to the knighthood." Anyway, if you owe such a large amount of silver, you can't pay it off if you sell this Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. β
Mrs. Tai was startled. Hurriedly comforted Chu Huajin: "Son, you can't say that." If there is really a difficulty, let's go to find the eldest prince, he can't watch his uncle's mansion fall, right? β
Chu Hua was even more irritable when he saw that Mrs. Tai was stubborn, and got up and said, "In my mother's heart, it turns out that silver is more important than my son's future!" β
Mrs. Tai was a little embarrassed, and said busily: "My mother really doesn't have any silver." When your father was alive, he never gave his mother any money. When the mother was in charge, the money in the inner courtyard was all for people's heads. Later, when your daughter-in-law entered the door, your father handed over the responsibility of presiding over the feed to your daughter-in-law. No money ever passed from me. My dowry, when the family was divided, was divided between you two brothers. As for that idea, I still keep it for the subordinates who serve me. One line said, and one line cried.
Chu Huajin was a little stunned, and couldn't help but ask: "Dad really didn't leave his mother a private house for self-defense?" β
Mrs. Tai wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "When your father was alive, of course he didn't. When he died, he was in a hurry and didn't leave a word. Where did I get the money for my private house? - Now I know that he still has a small ...... outside."
Chu Huajin was sad and resentful in his heart, and couldn't help but come to Mrs. Tai's side and said softly: "Mother, my son has an idea to let his mother out of this wretch." β
As he spoke, Chu Huajin said in advance that Liu Menghan was willing to give out the silver.
Mrs. Tai was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she asked Chu Huajin aggressively: "Did your father really give her so much silver?" β
Chu Hua nodded: "It's not like it's fake." "After all, when the time comes, she will have to pay off her debts with real money. If it's fake, you can kick her out of the house immediately. She didn't get the slightest benefit.
Mrs. Tai thought about it, and was ruthless, and said, "Since he is the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being the fifteenth." Just let her in and see if I don't frustrate this little slut! β
Chu Huajin smiled slightly and said, "Then let my mother be wronged for a while, and personally go and pick her up into the house." β
"What?!" Mrs. Tai was furious, "You want me to pick her up? - I heard you right?! β
Chu Hua smiled bitterly: "People have taken out all the belongings, my mother is just going to move her mouth, so why care?" "I already have a slight remark on Mrs. Tai in my heart.
For the sake of his two children, the Liu family can spend a lot of money.
But his mother didn't pull out a dime, and she didn't even bend down slightly for herself.
Chu Huajin showed a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face.
Mrs. Tai was angry, and when she saw Chu Huajin's expression, she thought about it for a while, and understood what he was thinking, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and she was embarrassed to change her words immediately, and said, "You go back first, let me think about it." β
Chu Hua bowed with a calm face and retreated, and went back to the outer courtyard to find Mr. Shan.
When he arrived at Mr. Shan's residence in the outer courtyard, Chu Huajin saw Mr. Shan sitting at the desk under the window at the head of the house, holding a book and reading it carefully. Under some dim lights, Mr. Shan's silhouette was as clear as jade.
Chu Huajin looked a little stunned at the door.
"Master Hou is here!" Mr. Shan's servant announced loudly.
Mr. Shan looked back and saw that it was Chu Huajin who came in, stood up and said with a smile: "Hou Yegui stepped on the ground, there must be something important." β
Chu Hua smiled reluctantly and said, "Can't you come over if you have nothing to do?" β
Mr. Shan smiled, instructed the little servant to make tea, and personally spread the high-backed armchair and asked Chu Hua to sit down.
Chu Hua pursed his lips and asked Mr. Shan, "What book is Mr. reading?" β
Mr. Shan took the book he had just read, handed it to Chu Huajin, and said, "Geography of Mountains and Rivers." β
Chu Huajin flipped it over casually, put it up, looked away with his eyes, but said in his mouth: "Mr. wants to travel far away?" β
Mr. Shan said "um", poured Chu Hua full of tea, and said, "If you have the opportunity, I want to go all over Daqi and see the magnificent rivers and mountains of Daqi." - If Master Hou has a heart, why don't you go with me? β
Chu Huajin smiled, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "I have a tired family, so I am not as free as Mr. Idle Cloud and Wild Crane." β
Mr. Shan also smiled, took a pickled plum from the plate on the table, and asked Chu Huajin, "Master Hou has another one?" β
Chu Hua looked at Mr. Shan, and opened his mouth in a daze.
Mr. Shan sent the plum to Chu Huajin's mouth, and the tips of his fingers gently paused on Chu Huajin's lips, as if intentionally and unintentionally.
Chu Hua was thrilled and swallowed the plum.
Mr. Shan saw that the last pill was also given to Chu Huajin, and he was overjoyed when he thought that he could finally leave the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion and regain his freedom, but his face was still indifferent, he got up and walked aside, and said reluctantly: "Although Shan is not talented, he is favored by the Hou Ye, and it should be used for driving." It's just that providence makes people, Shan has a lot of responsibilities to Hou Ye, and it is Shan's fault to let Hou Ye see Mrs. Hou. Although the world is big, there is no place for a single person. After this incident, Shan Mou must leave the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and escape into the empty door, in this life and this life, he will not follow the world! After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Hua deeply.
Chu Huajin's blood boiled, he got up and grabbed Mr. Shan's hand, and said excitedly: "Sir, don't worry, I know that Mr. was framed by someone, and this matter has nothing to do with Mr. After a few days, the IOUs are paid off, and it will be fine. Mr. rest assured to stay in my Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, with my Ningyuan Marquis for one day, there will be a place for Mr.! With that, Chu Huajin turned around and rushed out of Mr. Shan's courtyard, and went back to the second gate to find Pei Shufen for an idea.
