Chapter 024 Hidden Dangers of Bills

?? The method of placing the wounded, the space has changed dramatically, Wang Qifang's mood is extremely hapi, but unfortunately, this good mood lasted less than half a day, and the people in front of him were shattered.

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, the third cousin just said that you spent all the money for my brother's real estate?"

Wang Qifang endured the anger in her chest and asked slowly.

"It's not a flower, it's an investment," Zheng Sanniang saw that Wang Qifang's eyes were full of anger, and she was also a little weak when she thought of what she had done.

However, as soon as she thought that she would be able to marry into the Zhao family with a large dowry next month, she had the confidence, forced the only trace of shame left in her heart, and said: "Sister, I heard that you just bought a house in Ping'anfang, so you naturally know how expensive the house in Ping'anfang is. Last time, I also mentioned to you that I saw a house with two entrances and two exits, which happened to be in Ping'anfang, and the owner offered a price of three thousand six hundred taels of silver at that time......

But when I came to Beijing, my aunt only gave me 2,000 taels, of course, it wasn't that my aunt was reluctant to give silver, but it was really difficult at home. Just these two thousand taels of silver, my aunt sold two hectares of fertile land and scraped together to get it. ”

Zheng Sanniang peeked at Wang Qifang's reaction as she spoke, and saw that the anger on her face seemed to have subsided, thinking that Wang Qifang believed her words, so she continued to perform hard: "Woo, I can't help it." If you don't want a house in Ping'anfang, the other houses are either not good feng shui, or the house is dilapidated, don't say that you are not satisfied, sister, even I am reluctant to let my eldest cousin be wronged.

After thinking about it for a few days, I thought that I would simply use the two thousand taels of silver in my hand to start a small business, not to make much money, as long as I earned enough money for the house to become a ...... It's just that I didn't expect that the bills I bought at a great price not only did not appreciate, but fell a lot, and now, they are only worth a few hundred taels of silver...... Woo, I'm sorry for my aunt's trust, I'm sorry for my eldest cousin, and I'm sorry for you, sister."

As she spoke, Zheng Sanniang was about to hit the corner of the wall on the side, "...... I'm so useless, I made such a mistake, and I just died......"

Death to apologize? Hmph, if you are really sincere, why not find a corner where no one is there to die? Besides, who has ever heard that hitting a wall in public can kill someone?

No, the corners of Zheng Sanniang's clothes haven't touched the wall yet, and the two stout girls behind her grabbed her.

One shouted, 'Let me die', and the other persuaded 'Girl, don't think about it, it's just two thousand taels of silver, Young Master and Miss Cousin are not stingy people, and they will never blame the girl for this.'" ’

Wang Qifang sat coldly on the top, watching Zheng Sanniang and the girls around her act without saying a word.

"Woo, why are you pulling me, I made the mistake, and now I see that my eldest cousin is about to enter Beijing, but I don't even have a place to live, this, how should this be?"

"Oh, girl, you didn't mean to, the young master is the most benevolent and merciful, how can I blame you for this bit of silver? Besides, isn't there still Miss Cousin, Miss Cousin has a house and land in her hands, and she is the sister of the Young Master Cousin, how can she shorten the residence of the Young Master? ”

Zheng Sanniang's nurse Mama Li pulled Zheng Sanniang back and chattered. On the surface, he seemed to be comforting his own girl, but there was a meaning of letting Wang Qifang pay for it.

"Hehe, Mama Li's words are wrong," Amethyst couldn't listen to it the first one, she sneered twice, "That's right, my second young grandmother has a house and land in her hands, but this has nothing to do with Zheng Sanniang's greed for the silver of the eldest young master." Also, two thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and the monthly expenses of an ordinary family in Beijing will not exceed one tael, and two thousand taels of silver is enough for the family to live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing, and can also buy a decent dowry. Hmph, Miss Cousin is going to get married next month, so the dowry must be ready. ”

Amethystum has said this very bluntly, and pointed out without any concealment that Zheng Sanniang was greedy for the silver that the eldest young master bought to buy a house to buy a dowry.

"Sister, I, I didn't," Zheng Sanniang listened to Amethyst's words, her expression froze, and then she cried even louder, "I'm wronged, woo, Mama Li, let me die, it's better to die clean than let my sister and eldest cousin misunderstand." ”

"Girl, my miserable girl, obviously bothered to help, why did people slander it?"

Mama Li also opened her voice, crying loudly, for fear that people outside would not hear or understand, and she gave Zheng Sanniang a tribute while crying, and for a while she tried her best to find a house, and for a while she threw down her face to go into business to help her cousin earn money to buy a house, and for a while, she vaguely said that the sister-in-law didn't care, and their Sanniang's cousin was so dedicated to helping but couldn't get half of the recognition, and was wronged......

If someone who doesn't know the details hears it, they will really mistake Wang Qifang for being mean and ruthless, and Zheng Sanniang is bitter.

"Enough, and there are no dead people, what is the mourning?"

Wang Qifang saw that they were almost in trouble, and no matter how much she cried, she just repeated what she had just said, so she slapped the table hard and scolded: "What kind of place is this, how can Diao Nu be presumptuous? Zheng Sanniang, let me ask you, the person who used the money to buy a house privately, but you? ”

“…… Uh, yes, but, I mean—"

"It's good for you to admit it," Wang Qifang interrupted Zheng Sanniang's defense and said: "Since ancient times, murder people to pay off debts and debts, and my brother has also settled accounts, you spent my eldest brother's money privately, shouldn't you pay it back?" Kindness? ”

"I—I want to ...... too"

Zheng Sanniang didn't let go at all when she saw Wang Qifang, as if she wasn't afraid of her reputation being damaged at all, so she didn't have an idea for a while, just justified.

"Do you want to? You and I know what you want, so don't act anymore," Wang Qifang looked indifferent and said in a calm tone, "Also, what about the bills?" You won't buy it for two thousand taels of silver, but sell it for two hundred taels of silver. ”

"No, I didn't," Zheng Sanniang shook her head, she heard something from Wang Qifang's voice, and hurriedly took out a dozen white papers from her sleeve pocket, and handed them to the amethyst on the side with both hands, "It's all here, and now the price of these bills is falling day by day, and I really don't want to sell it like this, so I didn't sell a single one." ”

Wang Qifang took the bills, looked at them one by one, and when she saw the firm and time issued on the bills, her face changed slightly, and she looked at Zheng Sanniang thoughtfully, "Okay, since the silver has been exchanged for bills, it is useless to say more." In this way, I have accepted these bills, and as for the house, you don't have to worry about it, after my eldest brother enters Beijing, I will make proper arrangements. ”

"Okay, okay, thank you sister, thank you sister, if it weren't for you, Sanniang would really have to die to apologize"

Zheng Sanniang didn't expect Wang Qifang to be willing to help herself pay, so she nodded and agreed.

"Oh, Qi Niang, why did you just let her go like that?" When Mama Zhao saw Zheng Sanniang and Mama Li leaving the peony garden with a smile on their faces, she was so angry that she hurriedly grabbed Wang Qifang and said: "Also, the old slave remembers that there were 200 acres of fertile land in the wife's dowry, and after the death of the wife, these fertile fields were left to the eldest young master, and the old slave of the 200 acres of fertile land has also seen it with his own eyes, the soil quality is particularly good, and the yield is extremely high." At that time, it was more than 2,000 taels of silver, but now more than 20 years later, the land price of Qingyuan has risen several times, not to mention 2,000 taels, even 4,000 taels or 6,000 taels may not be able to buy it. ”

"Oh? In this way, Mrs. Wang is selling the land left by her mother to her brother? Wang Qifang wrinkled her brows, "No, if it is the real estate left by her mother to her brother, then the title deed should be in the hands of her brother, how can she sell it?" ”

"This old slave doesn't know, but it seems that before his wife died, he was worried that your brothers and sisters would have no one to take care of, so he entrusted the eldest young master to the patriarch," Zhao Mama's words just now were just speculations, because according to Mrs. Wang's mean nature, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to take out two thousand taels of silver to buy any real estate for the eldest young master, she bit her lip and thought hard, and said: "The old slave pondered, it is estimated that the wife was worried that the eldest young master was young and couldn't look at those fields, so she handed over the title deed to the patriarch or the elders of the clan to take charge, and when the eldest young master became an adult, Give it back to him. ”

"Well, this is also possible," Wang Qifang thought about it and felt that this explanation was reasonable, she couldn't help but guess: "Presumably, Mrs. Wang also knew that the title deed was not in her brother's hands, so she took advantage of her brother's study tour to deceive the elders in charge of the title deed, and then sold these fields at a low price, and pretended to hand over the silver to Zheng Sanniang, so that she could buy a house for her brother in Beijing."

Yes, she did this to block the criticism of her in the clan, after all, all the money from the sale of land was spent by her brother, not counting her stepmother's greed for ink; The second is to kick her brother out of the Wang family in disguise, let him stay in the capital for the rest of his life, and it is best never to return to Qingyuan, so that everything in the Qingyuan Wang family belongs to her two sons, right. ”

"That's right, Qi Niang, you guessed right," Zhao Mama nodded again and again when she heard this, "That Zheng family is a greedy person, he gave you so much dowry back then, and installed a lot of henchmen as dowries, and made you suffer so much." It's not enough to hurt you alone, and now she is attacking the eldest young master, hmph, she is not afraid of doing too many bad things and letting God take it away. ”

"Don't be afraid, my mother's dowry back then, my uncles all have a list, and when the time comes, I will let the Zheng family spit it out little by little. However, didn't my brother say it, let me calm down and wait for him to enter Beijing. I think my brother must have a way to deal with it, this time I will bypass Zheng Sanniang first, and wait for my brother to arrive in the capital, and then deal with it. ”

Actually, this is not the real reason why Wang Qifang let Zheng Sanniang go, she did it entirely because of the bill.

Zheng Sanniang took the bills, Wang Qifang carefully read, a total of 2,000 taels of bills, 90% of which were issued by Zhao's firm.

There is no problem with this, the problem is that these notes were issued on the 16th of the first month of this year.

However, as far as she knew, after the New Year, Zhao's firm had not issued a single note
