Chapter 202: True and False

In the Jiankang Gu family house, Gu Changchun and the people of the clan sat in the hall.

"Eighteen Niang's three million taels of silver have arrived...."Gu Changchun said in a deep voice, since he came back from the capital, his spirit has improved, although his eyes are still cloudy, but his heart is already firm.

Everyone looked slightly happy and talked in low voices.

"I don't know when the rest of the silver will come..."

"That's right, now our money bank is still being squeezed, and three million taels can't last a few days..."

"Let's go and scrape together the money." Huang Shiying opened his mouth and said, "No matter what you do, you have to survive five days... This time, it's up to everyone whether they live or die..."

"Always prepare for the worst in everything, patriarch, what if the silver of the Eighteen Niang can't arrive, or is not enough?" An older man asked with a worried face.

This is everyone's worry, although the sight of four large boxes of silver coins flashing in the hall is still deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts, but Gu Bainiang is a teenage girl after all, in case of an accident....

"Grandpa..." There was a shout outside the door, and two people rushed in with a rush, "It's coming...."

Gu Changchun stood up violently, with unconcealable nervousness in his voice.

"Coming?" He asked.

"Silver... Silver..."The person who came wanted to cry and laugh, "Miss Eighteen's silver has been delivered...."

This sentence made the depressed hall boil violently.

"Let's go..."Gu Changchun took the lead and walked out quickly.

When they reached the door, they saw two carts coming in with silver boxes.

"This is two million taels..."Gu Changchun said tremblingly, waving his big hand, "Okay, quick, divide to each semicolon..."

"Patriarch Grandpa...", the person who came held another letter, "This is Miss's letter...."

Gu Changchun hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and couldn't wait to open it, his face couldn't help but change.

"It's... This—" He hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Huang Shiying and the others asked later, their faces suddenly worried.

"Look at what she said, isn't it too much..."Gu Changchun handed the letter to them to circulate, sighing, "This is too risky..."

After reading the letter, everyone's expressions were also hesitant.

"All semicolons are not closed?"

"Send the interest to those big accounts who haven't paid the silver yet?"

"And tell those big households who need to withdraw money can arrange in advance?"

"How can this be?"

"We're simply not enough... One less person to mention us, we have a little more chance..."

"It's... We are worried that there are many people who exchange silver, why are we still rushing to ask someone to exchange it? ”

"Ridiculous, ridiculous..."

"She doesn't understand the child's family, how to command indiscriminately...."

"Patriarch, love is righteousness, but you can't let her do anything..."

Everyone, you and I are talking in a ball.

"Don't make any noise" Gu Changchun raised his hand to stop everyone, and said in a deep voice, "I promised Eighteen Niang at the beginning, this is her money, how to use it, how to do it, everything is only her head..."

Because the Gu family's money village has reached the verge of collapse, and the entire Gu family has also reached the verge of collapsing at any time, if it weren't for Gu Ba Niang's action this time, they are now afraid that they have begun to be detained by the government to verify the property.

Dead horses should be used as live horse doctors, and they have to give it a try, and after some consideration, survival has become the highest pursuit, and everyone has reached an unprecedented agreement.

"Patriarch, we listen to you." They said in unison.

"Then do what the Eighteen Niang letter said" Gu Changchun turned around and looked around at everyone, "Ten days, as long as we survive ten days, our Gu family will escape from death..."

Soon, there were bright silver in the Gu family's various money houses, and the guys who used to be slow no matter how they scolded seemed to have eaten all of a sudden, and quickly took over the silver tickets one by one with a full smile and gave out the silver for nothing.

At the same time, those large households who had deposited a large amount of silver in Gujia Qian Zhuang received this year's interest cash, and at the same time, there was also a prepayment slip stamped with the seal of Gu Jia Qian Bank.

Several branches that had closed their doors and posted them closed down also opened their doors, and those who picked up the money did not refuse to come.

This sudden series of actions shook the rumor that the Gu family had no money anymore.

"It's called making a show with a stone mortar..."

In the private room of the best inn in Yangzhou, Xin Chaoyang and Gu Bainiang sat opposite each other.

"Of course, this is not to die to save face and suffer crimes....one is to stabilize people's hearts, and the other is to prevent outsiders from seeing how their old background is....", he then laughed.

"Thank you." Gu Bainiang raised her eyes to look at him and smiled slightly.

"You're welcome, it's not an idea for nothing..."Xin Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Look at the results payment, I remember." Gu Bainiang nodded and said.

Xin Chaoyang smiled, took a sip of tea, looked at Gu Bainiang, who was still dignified in his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Those words you said to your cousin, which sentence is true and which sentence is false?" ”

Gu Banniang lowered her head to eat tea.

"Truth and falsehood are important, the important thing is the result...", she replied lightly.

Xin Chaoyang smiled and didn't ask again, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"The IOU for borrowing one million taels of silver has been made, and the eldest young master made a special trip because he was afraid that I would repay the debt?" Gu Bainiang asked.

"If something is so big, I don't worry about you." Xin Chaoyang replied.

Gu Bainiang raised her eyes and glanced at him.

Xin Chaoyang smiled, "I'll come to Yangzhou to open a semicolon..."

"Which one is true?" Gu Banniang asked with a faint smile.

"What matters if it's true or false?" Xin Chaoyang laughed, "The important thing is the result. ”

"The results were good, three pills a year ago." Gu Bainiang raised three fingers at him and shook it, "This is the preferential treatment of borrowing silver to eliminate interest, of course, the medicine money can be calculated how it should be calculated..."

"Thank you, thank you," Xin Chaoyang smiled, "Of course, of course...."

Gu Banniang stopped talking, and the room fell silent for a while.

"Eighteen Niang, what are you going to do next?" Xin Chaoyang didn't mean to leave, but asked.

"Wait, what else can I do..."Gu Banniang replied, leaning back in the chair.

came by boat in the snow, and after several days of entertaining the major pharmaceutical companies in Yangzhou, she could no longer hide her tiredness.

"Eighteen Niang..."Xin Chaoyang couldn't help but call softly.

"Young Master, please send it not far away." Gu Banniang said lightly.

"It's getting more and more like a great pharmacist... But it's not enough, don't say that if you change to your master, even if Xiaoliu Ye is here, this sentence will not be said..."Xin Chaoyang said with a smile.

"That's different...."Gu Banniang exhaled lightly and glanced at him, "I accept your love...."

Xin Chaoyang pursed his lips and smiled, did not speak, and did not mean to get up, but looked at Gu Bainiang again, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

"Eighteen Niang...," he called softly again.

Gu Bainiang hummed and looked at him, "Please speak." ”

Xin Chaoyang looked at her and smiled, shaking his head, "It's okay." ”

Gu Bainiang glanced at him angrily and withdrew her gaze.

"Eighteen Niang..."Xin Chaoyang spoke again.

Gu Bainiang sat upright, looked at the plastic surgery, and the corners of her eyebrows were faintly angry.

"Then I'll take my leave." Xin Chaoyang smiled, stood up, and bowed away without waiting for her to speak.

Lingbao came over from the side and handed her a hot towel.

Gu Banniang took it and gently applied it to her face for a moment.

"Lingbao, let's go." She stood up and said.

"Where are you going?" Lingbao asked hurriedly.

"What needs to be done here has been done, now go back to Jiankang," Gu Banniang said, took a deep breath, and smiled bitterly, "What's more, we won't have the money to settle the bill if we live any longer...."

Lingbao silently bowed his head and responded.

When Gu Bainiang entered Jiankang, there was a little excitement, Gu Changchun personally sent someone to pick it up, and the Jiankang pharmacists who got the news were naturally not lagging behind, and there was also a strictly watched car that followed Gu Bainiang into the Gu family's mansion, and the carriage walked by, and a mark was pressed out on the road, showing that the things on the car were very weighty.

This is the first time Gu Bainiang has come back since that departure, but the treatment is completely different from when she came from Xianren County, and everyone everywhere she went was respectful and smiled.

"Miss?" Lingbao noticed that her expression was different, and when she was tired, she hurriedly asked in a low voice of concern.

Gu Ba Niang raised her hand and gently wiped a little water from the corner of her eyes, this is the heart of the world, the heart of the world, whether you are obedient or resentful, struggle or humble, it is always here, looking at it coldly, life and death from generation to generation.

Watching the car loaded with silver drive into the backyard, Gu Changchun finally let out a sigh and looked at the girl who was sitting quietly eating tea.

"Eighteen Niang, five million taels of silver are about to run out, you see...."Someone couldn't help but ask first.

"How many are on board?" Gu Banniang asked with a smile.

"There are still 20,000 taels left in the total number..."

"I still have five thousand taels there...."

"I only have 10,000 taels there, but someone has already made a precedent...."

Everyone looked at Gu Bainiang with blank eyes.

"Don't worry," Gu Banniang said with a smile and put down the teacup.

"Eighteen Niang is tired, go and rest first." Huang Shiying opened his mouth and said, without waiting for everyone to speak, he personally got up and led the way, "Your house has not been lived, and it is too late to clean up, cold, come to me." ”

"That's bothering the third grandmother...."Gu Bainiang smiled, stood up, no longer polite, walked to the door and looked at the hot and restless and anxious eyes of the room and stopped, "By the way, in a few days, there will be silver, it should be to go to the dock, everyone send someone to watch it." ”

This sentence made the room boil suddenly, Gu Bainiang smiled, and followed Huang Shiying.

This time, I didn't go out to recuperate, seeing that the silver deposit was decreasing, and more and more people came to ask for silver, even Gu Changchun couldn't sit still, and came a few times, either Eighteen Niang was taking a bath or falling asleep....

"She's been injured.," Huang Shiying said euphemistically.

With Gu Banniang's strong return this time, the news about her has also spread widely among the clan, and the thrilling story of the Great Medicine Club is the most popular story.

Gu Changchun sighed, "This time....I have worked hard for her...."He shook his head lightly again, "I didn't expect it... I didn't expect....it was her who worked hard this time...."

Huang Shiying nodded silently.

"However, the deadline for the government to withdraw money is coming, this is a large amount..."Gu Changchun dispelled the thick complicated emotions in his heart, faced up to today's major events, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll talk to her when she's awake." Huang Shiying nodded.

Gu Changchun didn't stay any longer, got up to say goodbye, and only then walked out of Huang Shiying's house, and several old people in the clan ran over to him.

Gu Changchun coughed heavily, and a few old men blushed slightly and stopped their feet.

"Patriarch, someone from the government has arrived—" they whispered with some trepidation.

Gu Changchun's feet couldn't help but soften, and he came....

"I'm afraid, it's not that I don't have money...."He took a deep breath, glared at a few people, and straightened his clothes, "Let's go...."

When I entered the hall, I saw only one man standing tall, not wearing official clothes but civilian clothes, and when he saw Gu Changchun coming in, he saluted each other with a smile on his face.

"Lord Lu, I'm too lazy, I'm going to load the silver and give it to you..."

Lord Lu smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry, not in a hurry...."

Gu Changchun only regarded his words as polite.

"The prefect said, when spring begins, just mention it together with the spring seed silver issued by the imperial court...."Lord Lu continued.

Gu Changchun was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask again.

"That's right...."Lord Lu smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry." ”

Gu Changchun finally understood, and couldn't help but tremble, this is the government deliberately letting them go, not participating in this run, leaving them a few months, don't underestimate these few months, that is the difference between life and death.

"Thank you, my lord....Thank you, my lord...."Gu Changchun was a little out of shape, couldn't help but hold Lord Lu's hand, and said in a trembling voice.

"Whatever the boss says, others will just do it, but if Lord Xiao Gu speaks, can we still believe it?" Lord Lu patted Gu Changchun's hand meaningfully and said in a low voice.

At this time, Lord Gu is talking is useless, so Lord Gu....

"It's... It's Yu'er, he..."Gu Changchun couldn't help but ask.

"Fisherman?" Lord Lu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "It's Lord Gu Hai Gu Hanzhi...."

"Brother Hai?" Gu Changchun was stunned for a moment, a little surprised and a little unspeakable.

"Our prefect has had a teacher-student relationship with Scholar Li..."Lord Lu said in a low voice, sighing lightly with deep meaning, "... My lord has always felt guilty..."

Scholar Li was the examiner who risked his life to support Zhu Chunming and the emperor back then, and almost died for it.

Gu Changchun was a little distracted, and repeatedly thanked Master Lu for seeing him off in person, and sat down in the hall by himself, and sat until the night covered the entire hall without moving for half a minute.

Gu Yu in Yangzhou soon got the news, in fact, he knew any news about Gu Bainiang and the Gu family clearly.

Still sitting on the large and comfortable study Taishi chair, his expression was not as relaxed as before, he frowned slightly, his fingers tapped on the tabletop, and when the night came up, he sat up straight.

"Think of the beauty, don't think you all have it," he whispered, and then raised his voice, "Come on." ”

A guard immediately came in silently from outside the door, bowing his head in response.

"Go, herald, the boat can go down the river." Gu Yu said slowly.

"Yes." The guard didn't ask much and immediately turned away.

Three days later, all the silver deposits in the Gu family money village were used up, although there were many fewer people who ran on the money, but there were still people who came to exchange the silver, and the people who had not been able to see Gu Ba Niang's face were really anxious to die.

"No matter, let's go to the treasury to get the silver first, anyway, Miss Eighteen is for us..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a shouting outside the door.

"Young Master Yu has found the cargo ship, Master Yu's delivery ship is here, there are goods and silver at the dock, go and pick it up."

The crowd coaxed, and they couldn't care about looking for Gu Bainiang's money anymore, and they rushed to the dock.

"It's done...."After getting the news, Gu Bainiang sat on the chair with one foot, her eyes were red, and finally closed.
