Chapter 291: Asking for Debts
She rolled over, a look of surprise in her eyes.
The basket waited for a few girls to carry water in, and the basket came forward to help Pei Xie Tang get up, and when he moved to the bathtub, he still didn't say a word, and his face was tense, and he seemed to be very unhappy.
Pei Xie Tang looked at her weakly, knowing that this girl was angry.
She didn't come back all day yesterday, and she hadn't told her where she was going, and she was on fire.
"Angry?" Pei Xie Tang pondered for a moment, and still said, "Yesterday's incident ......"
"Princess, please wear a wide coat." The basket interrupted her in a low voice, obviously not wanting to say more.
Pei Xie Tang's eyes sank, and he suddenly felt that there was no need to explain. She silently stretched out her hand, and let the basket take off her dirty clothes. As soon as the clothes fell to the ground, the basket behind him immediately exclaimed: "Princess-"
Her hand trembled and stretched out, carefully trying to touch the wound on her arm, Pei Xie Tang tilted his head slightly, and saw that her face was pale, and she couldn't say a word for a long time with her mouth open. She raised her eyes, her long eyelashes were already stained with a lot of water stains, and when she saw Pei Xie Tang's weak expression, the mist in her eyes condensed into droplets of water and fell.
"What, how?" Basket asked, choking up.
Pei Xie Tang smiled faintly: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." β
How can it not hurt!
Seeing that her complexion was decaying, the basket shook her head again and again in her heart, and after a change of thought, she said, "The princess went to do something dangerous yesterday, so she didn't go out with the basket?" β
"Hmm." Pei Xie Tang replied in a low voice.
The basket spoke no more.
When she asked that sentence, she already knew in her heart who the person standing in front of her was. Pei Xie Tang, the lord of Tai'an...... It is too difficult for her to look forward to her young lady and hope that the lord of Tai'an will be safe and keep to herself. The county lord has big things in his heart, the things he does, and the people he touches are not another world that she can touch.
You shouldn't ask!
She was secretly annoyed in her heart, but she couldn't suppress a word of advice: "When the princess goes out, she should pay more attention to safety." β
Pei Xie Tang was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at her in amazement. The basket's tone was heavy, different from usual, and a strong uneasiness welled up in her heart.
The basket lowered her head, pursed her lips and wiped the water on her body, brought her clean clothes to change into, combed her hair, and said, "Princess, the prince is already waiting in the dining hall, will you go over?" β
"There's no hurry." Pei Xie Tang sat in front of the dressing table, thought for a while, and then said, "Did the shop and Zhuangzi I marry give the monthly money this month?" Seeing the basket nodding, she said again: "You don't have to accompany me to dinner, you can take Yan'er out of the house in a while and go to my shop." Take a look at the account books of these three months, and by the way, go to Gao Xingzhi, and ask him if there are any suitable shops in the Fang Market around the Linshui River that can be given to me, and I plan to open a few more shops over there. β
"Open again?" The basket was stunned.
Pei Xie Tang nodded: "While the money at hand has not been spent, buy something that can make money." β
The basket blessed the body: "The slave and maid will go in a while." β
Pei Xie Tang then went to the dining hall.
Zhu Xinzhi was already waiting for her at the table, and he took the materials he read every morning in his hand, and when he saw her coming, he put down the book and said with a smile: "Can you serve the bowl with your hand?" β
"The bowl can be held, but it can't be lifted." Pei Xie Tang smiled.
Zhu Xinzhi didn't fall for her: "If you can't lift it, you can't lift it, you will make an exception left and right, and you can just put it on the table and eat." β
Anyway, I've broken many examples for her.
Pei Xie Tang pouted, didn't argue with him, didn't have to serve a bowl to save a lot of trouble, she ate very happily. As soon as the chopsticks were put down, he immediately stretched: "Oops, it's finally full!" β
"What's the matter?" Zhu Xinzhi glanced at her and was about to speak, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Changtian standing at the door with a strange face, wanting to speak and stopping.
Changtian immediately walked in: "Lord Xie, Lord Xie has sent someone to ask the princess to go back to Xie's house." β
"Huh?" Zhu Xinzhi was stunned.
Xie Yijiang has always been very measured, and the daughter who got married was called back to her parents' house, and it was inevitable that she would not be gossiped about by her husband's family, it had been almost two months since Pei Xie Tang was married, and he had never received a letter from the Xie family. was the last time Xie Yijiang was so angry with Xie Feifei that he was bedridden, and he also told Xie Chengyin that Xie Yijiang didn't plan to tell the princess at all.
What's going on today?
Pei Xie Tang also had this doubt: "Back to Xie's house? Did something happen to the Xie family? β
"Something happened. The princess will know when she goes back. Chang Tian hurriedly said: "It seems that Master Xie has encountered a little trouble, and it has something to do with the Fan family who was abandoned." β
Pei Xie stood up openly.
Fan's?
The Fan family previously owed a huge amount of silver to the gambling house, could it be that those gamblers were going to the Xie family?
You'll have to see it!
Pei Xie Tang sneered, turned his head and walked out.
Zhu Xinzhi hurriedly followed: "I'll go with you." β
Pei Xie Tang nodded, did not speak, did not stop, and instructed the coachman to prepare the carriage and go to Xie's house with Zhu Xinyi. Along the way, Zhu Xinzhi comforted her again and again: "I saw Lord Xie in the court yesterday, Lord Xie is very good, it doesn't look like he has something to worry about, you don't have to worry too much, your body is definitely fine." β
Pei Xie Tang didn't speak.
What she was worried about in her heart was not Xie Yijiang at all, and if she could force Xie Yijiang's court not to send someone to ask her for help, I am afraid that the Fan family alone could do it.
Soon arrived at the door of Xie's house.
Before they got off the car, Zhu Xinzhi and Pei Xie Tang had already heard the noise at the gate of the mansion, not to mention the loud voices, and even the gate of the mansion was surrounded by a dense crowd, surrounding the Xie family's one-third of an acre of land, and the carriage could not enter at all. Pei Xie Tang immediately made a decision, let the carriage go through the back door, and went around to the back door to take a look, the back door was also crowded, and he couldn't get in.
It's weird!
When did the Xie family become a vegetable market?
Pei Xie Tang chuckled in his heart, and immediately understood that something really happened, and when he saw the carriage walking through the alley next to the courtyard of the Manjiang River, he hurriedly called the coachman: "It's here, I'll enter from here." β
Zhu Xinzhi didn't answer, and saw that she went up the wall neatly, hesitated slightly, and followed her into the original Manjiang Garden.
Pei Xie Tang walked forward.
The outside is surrounded like this, and it is obvious that something really happened to the Xie family. Let's figure out what is going on first. She entered her own yard full of Jiangting, since she got married, there were a few little girls left in the yard to clean, and when she and Zhu Xinzhi came in, the little girl who was sweeping the floor was stunned and hurriedly ran up.
Pei Xie Tang was too lazy to talk to her?? Collect? May the waves? Skeleton horn γθstring?? Lofty? That Mu Na Li!
The little girl agreed again and again, and went away at a trot.
After a while, Xie Yijiang followed the girl with a sad face, and as soon as he entered the Manjiang Courtyard, his eyes were red, and his heart was extremely moved, and he stepped forward and said: "Chengyin, you can be regarded as here!" Saying that, he saluted Zhu Xinzhi again: "The prince came with him in his busy schedule, and the officials are grateful." β
"Father-in-law is serious." Zhu Xinzhi frowned: "There are no outsiders here, let's not talk about these false courtesies." The father-in-law hurriedly explained what was going on, why were so many people surrounded outside the house? β
Xie Yijiang sighed again and again: "It's not the Fan family's trouble!" β
Fan, it's really her!
Pei Xie Tang sneered: "Dad, the Fan family has been divorced by you, and now what is making a fuss!" β
"It's a long story." Xie Yijiang sighed again, picked up the key point and said: "You don't know in the palace, the Fan family has not been doing business since it was abandoned, didn't I give her some shops and manors, she didn't study well, she was obsessed with gambling with others, I heard that the Zhuangzi shops were all lost, not to mention, and owed tens of thousands of taels of silver." Now that people are looking for her to ask for money, they tie her up and come to our Xie family, saying that they owe the debt and repay the money, and ask her father to come and pay the money. What do you call this, where do I have so much money? It's good to say that I don't follow it, and I called these many people to come, and I won't let my father go out if I don't pay back the money, and the front and back doors and side doors are blocked by these people! Dad, there is no way to do it, so he let the next person go out and invite you to come. You're the best at dealing with these people. β
The last time the clan came to make trouble, he was also at a loss, and Pei Xie Tang helped clean it up.
Zhu Xinzhi was stunned when he heard this: "Tens of thousands of taels of silver, Lord Xie has been honest all his life, where can I find so much?" β
"It's not a matter of silver." Pei Xie Tang stood up, and listened to the noisy and scolding voices outside: "These people are here to find fault with the excuse." β
She knew the debt to her.
When she was calculating the Fan family and Xie Muyuan, she was the person she was looking for, and the silver was said to be asked for by Xie Muyuan and the Fan family, and no one even from the Chen family went to make trouble, how could these gamblers dare to come to the court with a first-class official?
If you want to say that you are not tired, who believes it!
She also picked up the old things and told them.
Xie Yijiang heard that it was the Fan family and Xie Muyuan who she cleaned up, and suddenly remembered that indeed, after Xie Muyuan came to make trouble some time ago, this daughter did say that she would help solve the trouble. It was also Xie Muyuan who provoked Xie Yijiang to be heartbroken, so he made up his mind to give up this family affection. Later, within two days, he heard that Xie Muyuan was crazy, and even his daughter had broken off relations with her, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and when he heard that the Chen family had taken Xie Muyuan's leave, he raised Xie Muyuan to the Zhuangzi at home.
Now, Xie Muyuan is in Zhuangzi.
Those who asked for debts couldn't find Xie Muyuan, so naturally they could only find Fan's head, and Fan's sold all the Zhuangzi shops, but the money was still not enough.
Xie Yijiang couldn't help muttering: "Speaking of which, you really owe them a lot of money?" β
"The money owed is also owed by the Fan family and Xie Muyuan, and it has nothing to do with my father. I didn't hear that the divorced woman owed money and asked her ex-husband's family to pay it back. It's to make trouble with the yamen, and we are also the same. Pei Xie Tang said strongly: "As for Xie Muyuan, she was suspended, and it stands to reason that she does have to be sent back to the Xie family, but what does the silver she owed when she was in the Chen family have anything to do with the Xie family?" β
Zhu Xinzhi: "What do those people outside say? β
"To tie up the Fan family is to let the Xie family take money to ransom people." Xie Yijiang sighed with a sad face: "And Xie Muyuan's unassuming, crazy, I'm really afraid that those people will tie her up." β
"My daughter is going to take a look." Pei Xie Tang thought about it for a while, and suddenly laughed.
