062 Bargaining
The eldest lady didn't expect the gaffe to be so severe, and her face was cloudy for a while, and Chu Renmeng continued: "When the shop and the fields are exchanged for silver taels, and the debts owed by the second uncle are repaid, I will take good care of the servants and maids of the Chu family." ”
The eldest lady nodded, and this can only be the case for now.
Chu Renmeng sent the little maid to see the situation in the front yard, and the little guy replied, the people were hungry, and the food and tea sent were all gone, Chu Renmeng nodded, "Calm their emotions, I will negotiate with them in the afternoon." ”
The little guy didn't quite understand what negotiation meant, so he had to go to the front yard to convey it.
Chu Renmeng said goodbye to the third lady and returned to the Meng Garden with her mother to wait for the news, and the three girls also heard about what happened in the front hall, and when they saw Chu Renmeng crying and mourning, they didn't dare to ask, so they had to pour tea and water silently.
Chu Renmeng drank a cup of tea and ordered, "Pothos, pack up your things." ”
Pothos didn't react for a while, what are you doing packing up?
Chu Renmeng: "It is estimated that you won't live here for long, so prepare in advance." ”
The women were in a low mood, so they had to silently go everywhere to pack up their things, Chu Renmeng held his head and looked at the sky outside, the sun was shining, but his mood couldn't stop being low.
After a while, the little maid ran into the Meng Garden again, "Miss, it's not good, the gang in the front yard is starting to smash things now." ”
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the broken drums were beaten by 10,000 people, and Chu Renmeng asked, "Is the housekeeper back?" ”
The little guy shook his head, not yet. Chu Renmeng said: "That's waiting, wait for the housekeeper to come back." ”
The little guy said uneasily, "What about the front yard?" ”
Chu Renmeng: "Leave them alone, let them smash as much as they want." ”
The little guy had to go, and as soon as the little guy left, the eldest lady said worriedly: "Meng Meng, does it really matter if this group of people smashes like this?" ”
Chu Renmeng comforted her mother, "Don't worry, you won't let them fall in vain." ”
The housekeeper was very efficient, and he brought back the good news after going out for a while, and he hurriedly ran to the Meng Garden to report to Chu Renmeng, "As soon as the news of the shop in Chu Mansion was released, it attracted the shopkeepers in the Kyoto circle to inquire one after another, and some of them knew the inside story, and the Chu Mansion lost power, and did not take advantage of the fire to rob, and the price given was reasonable, and the 100 acres of fertile land in Chu Mansion also had landed, and there were large households who wanted to buy it, so that the silver taels under the turnover were enough to repay the debts and settle the servants of Chu Mansion, and there was still some surplus." ”
Chu Renmeng's heart was a little more relaxed, and said, "Housekeeper, come with me?" ”
The housekeeper was surprised: "Miss, where are you going?" ”
Chu Renmeng: "Negotiate and go." ”
The two came all the way to the front yard, and heard the scolding and shouting inside through the door, as well as the sound of smashing things, the housekeeper couldn't help frowning, Chu Renmeng's expression was relaxed, and after listening for a while, he pushed the door directly, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw the mess all over the ground, this group of people was angry, and when they saw Chu Renmeng coming in, they all turned their anger to Chu Renmeng, asking her to hand over the second master, Chu Renmeng was not in a hurry, and found a chair and sat down.
Seeing her like this, everyone couldn't help asking, "Where is Second Master Chu?" When will we be paid the silver taels owed to us? ”
Chu Renmeng said: "I'm here to settle this matter with you now, you said that the second master owes silver taels, do you have a certificate?" ”
These people were skeptical, this little fat girl really could do it, they all stood there hesitating and did not move, Chu Renmeng glanced at everyone's reaction, and said: "Empty mouth and white teeth, not only made a big fuss about our Chu Mansion, but also smashed a lot of things, if you report to the official, I don't know what will happen to the official master?" The housekeeper hurriedly responded and said: "Naturally, they will be taken away together, although our old lady has resigned from the official, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the official master will also sell face if he wants to come." ”
When everyone heard this, they really wanted to report to the official, this is okay, what they did was a shady business, and they smashed the Prime Minister's Mansion, they definitely couldn't eat and walked around, so they hurriedly took out the notes in their arms, and said to Chu Renmeng with a smile on their faces: "Miss, don't be surprised, we naturally have the notes set up by the second master here, how can there be a fake in black and white." Chu Renmeng glanced at it, it was indeed his second uncle's name, and after thinking about it for a while, he made up his mind, and said to the housekeeper, "Give you lords a chair." "The housekeeper and the little guy are busy arranging the chairs, please sit down, everyone doesn't know what medicine is sold in the Chu people's cute gourd, so they have to sit down temporarily to see what this girl is doing.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Renmeng cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, this was originally the money owed by the second master, and the written note was established, and there was a debtor and a master, you should go to the second master to ask for an account, the second master has now left the Li Chu Mansion, I don't know where to hide, and I won't show up for a while." Therefore, it is not too much to call this account a bad debt. When everyone heard this, she still had to repay the debt, and they all said angrily, just wanted to say something ugly, Chu Renmeng waved his hand, "Our Chu family is about credibility, my grandfather is a veteran of several dynasties, and he is an old minister that the emperor has always relied on, even if my grandfather resigns now and returns to his hometown, our Chu Mansion can't tolerate you to spoil it, smash the old Xiangguo's mansion, insult the family of the old Xiangguo, and want to twist you to the official mansion, which is enough for you to eat a pot." ”
Everyone looked at each other, knowing that what this woman said was reasonable, she shouldn't listen to someone to provoke, and she came to the door to smash things on impulse, if this girl really reported to the official, what should she do.
Chu Renmeng saw through everyone's thoughts and said: "Everyone comes out to beg for food, it's not easy, I can pay back the money owed by the second master, but there is one condition." ”
When everyone heard this, there were still conditions, and there was a big man with a beard who couldn't help but ask, "What conditions?" ”
Chu Renmeng said: "That is, all the debts owed are discounted." ”
Everyone froze, three folds, what does this mean? Chu Renmeng: "The housekeeper takes the abacus." ”
The housekeeper was busy taking the abacus, and Chu Renmeng fiddled with the abacus and said: "That is, one thousand taels multiplied by 0.3, I will pay him back three hundred taels for him, if I agree, I will pay it back, if I don't agree, I will go to the official and let the official master decide." ”
Only then did everyone feel that they had fallen for this woman, and the bearded man couldn't bear it anymore, so he jumped up first, "You are taking advantage of the fire to rob!" ”
Chu Renmeng raised his head, without a trace of expression, "Who is taking advantage of the fire to rob, the second master's debt is no longer a day or two, why did you come to my Chu Mansion today to force debts, knowing that the second master is not in the mansion, still smash my Chu Mansion, although my Prime Minister's Mansion is not as beautiful as before, I can't tolerate you to be so bullied, housekeeper, go to the official!" ”
The butler said, "Yes, Miss, the carriage is ready, let's go." ”
As soon as everyone saw Chu Renmeng's resolute attitude, they were about to report to the official, and said in a panic: "Miss Chu, if you have something to say, let's discuss." ”
Chu Renmeng turned his head and looked at everyone coldly: "Three folds are acceptable?" ”
Everyone said: "This is a big matter, Miss Chu allows us to discuss." ”
Chu Renmeng said: "Okay, I'll wait outside, and discuss that you will call me." ”
Chu Renmeng walked out of the door and listened to a noisy sound coming from inside, housekeeper
