Chapter 320

Dai Su'er was concise and to the point, and after a few words, Song Nan finally understood the current situation of the Song Mansion: the cost of various procurement preparations, plus the cost of renovating the house, in less than two months, several women in charge of the house spent more than 30,000 taels of silver, and the entire Song Mansion was empty.

"That means we're destitute, aren't we?" Song Nan scratched his head and said.

"Yes, all the savings have been spent on your wedding, and we have no money, so I have to tell you about this matter, the accounts are here, and we haven't spent a tael of silver." Ye Fanggu said.

Song Nan said: "Since there is no money, I see that I am almost ready, there is an income in the shop anyway, so everyone will not go hungry, let's stop here." ”

Ye Fanggu said: "But the gap is quite big, the expenses on the wedding day are even bigger, all kinds of pomp and circumstance, hand, carriage and horse banquets, I estimate that it will not be possible without seven or eight thousand taels of silver, in view of this, our sisters want to ask your instructions, where should these expenses come from?" ”

Song Nan was stunned, some time ago he did have the idea of rethinking some ways to make money, but he has always been lacking in skills, and this matter has been delayed, and now he is a member of the Jinyi Guard, and the cost of personnel is far more than before. When interacting with people, the gift money exchanged is no longer thirty or fifty taels of silver, but hundreds of taels of gifts. Song Nan himself didn't calculate this account, but in fact, in less than half a year after he was promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei, his own expenses alone had already accounted for forty percent of his family's income.

The surplus of 30,000 taels of silver in the Song Mansion is still the result of Ye Fanggu's good arrangement and saving, Ye Fanggu and Uncle Zhong have begun to strictly control the use of the mansion as early as a few months ago in order to prepare for Song Nan's marriage, and the extravagance and waste led by Song Nan in the Song Mansion have been stopped, even so, it is still stretched.

The slave family thought that if they could think of squeezing some money out, and then there would be eight thousand dollars of silver, and the matter could be solved satisfactorily. The slave family knows that you don't want us to make such a big deal, but have you ever thought about it, this is your big wedding, and you are still married to the little county lord of the Guogong Mansion, if we are shabby, won't the little county lord be able to raise his head? The Guogong Mansion can't agree either. Ye Fanggu said.

Song Nan nodded, he didn't want to treat the little county lord badly, how big the pomp and circumstance in these years showed how much sincerity he had, he didn't want to be pointed out that he was shabby. But this is completely the behavior of slapping the swollen face and becoming fat, and the income in the Song Mansion comes entirely from the rent of six shops and a thousand acres of land outside Beijing. Although Song Nan knew that the total income could reach nearly 50,000 taels per year, there were many people who had to support the whole house, but in fact, there was not much money left, so it seemed that he had to hurry up and think about making money.

In fact, Song Nan is not without oil and water to fish, and now his identity is easy to fish for oil and water, and there are many criminal officials and rich people who have bribed and saved their lives in the hands of Jinyiwei, as well as all kinds of officials who have befriended Song Nan. If Song Nan accepts these money from unknown sources without scruples, I am afraid that he can get tens of thousands of taels in a month.

But Song Nan knew that holding the money in his hand was a time bomb, and once it exploded, he would be planted on the money like Fan Heng Wang Yue that day; And after taking the money, you have to help the bribe giver to excuse things, so that he will be controlled by others, and he will have to ignore his conscience when he gets things done, which is the reason for taking people short.

"Squeeze some money out?" Song Nan pinched his chin and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about where he could get the money.

"Husband, I have a solution." Lu Qingli said.

"Oh? What's the solution? ”

"Didn't you give me six thousand taels of silver to make the 'Lady Lu Fire Hammer'? At this time, can you take it out and save it first? Anyway, there was no rush in that matter. ”

Song Nan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, it can't be done, that silver must be used to make shotguns and firearms, taking advantage of the fact that the Armament Division does not pay attention to it, I want to step up the construction of a hundred and eighty handles, I originally planned to use the money to make more, but now I have to draw out the money?" Absolutely not. ”

The women were silent, their purpose today was to ask Song Nan to withdraw the money for emergency, but they didn't expect Song Nan to be so resolute.

"In that case, there's only one way to think of it." Ye Fanggu groaned.

Song Nan said: "You also have a way?" ”

Ye Fanggu said: "Two years ago, you gave me and Qingli some jewelry or something, and we can't use so much jewelry, so why don't I and Qingli take a few pieces and sell them, and exchange them for a few thousand taels of silver to come back for emergency, do you think it's good?" ”

Song Nan jumped up and shouted, "Are you going to hit me in the face?" How can anyone become a seller and take a wife? Has my Song Nan really fallen to such a point? It's a shame that you think about it. ”

Ye Fanggu hurriedly said: "It's just an emergency, just redeem it when you come over." ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "Don't think about it, it's inexplicable!" Aunt Fang, your idea is so bad, I'm very unhappy. ”

Ye Fanggu saw that Song Nan seemed to be really annoyed, and then she realized that Lu Dao had committed Song Nan's taboo, so she quickly shut up, and couldn't help but admire Dai Su'er a little in her heart. Before today, when he and Dai Suer and Lu Qingli discussed how to get out the missing silver, they proposed to pawn jewelry, Lu Qingli did not object, but Dai Suer asked her not to say it, and said that it would hurt Song Nan's man's self-esteem, and Song Nan would never agree.

I didn't think so at the time, thinking that Song Nan would not be angry about this matter, after all, this was the ultimate solution; But it turns out that Dai Suer knows Song Nan better than herself, although in terms of relationship, she is closer to Qingli and Song Nan, but Qingli is a blank sheet of paper, and she has no intention of figuring out Song Nan's thoughts, and she is not too careful and often takes it for granted how Song Nan will be, compared to Dai Suer, she is more exquisite, as if Dai Suer knows Song Nan's mind better than herself.

Thinking of this, Ye Fanggu was a little inexplicably unhappy, in terms of relationship management with Song Nan, she not only lagged behind Qingli a lot, but now she was also thrown away by Dai Su'er.

Song Nan got up and paced a little anxiously, there is nothing more embarrassing for being a man, but when he asks for money at home, how can Song Nan endure this embarrassment? Every time he wanted to get out of the predicament, Song Nan's brain turned very fast, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning, and a wonderful and shameless method jumped out of thin air.

Song Nan's gaze fell on Ye Fanggu and turned around a few times, Ye Fanggu was annoyed, and was overwhelmed by Song Nan's staring, and said angrily: "We don't pawn jewelry, but we don't have to look at the slave family so fiercely." ”

Song Nan said with a smile on his face: "You think too much, I have my own way to make up for the deficit, but before I get married, I still have an important thing to do." ”

"What's the matter?" The three girls said in unison.

Song Nan said: "In a few months, the little county lord will enter the door, although the little county lord is the identity of the main wife, but you know that I treat you equally in my heart, and you are all my Song Nan's own baby." ”

The girls blushed, and Aunt Ye Fang said, "You're talking about business, what are you talking about?" ”

Song Nan said: "It's not numb, I'm talking about serious things, Qingli has already passed the door, needless to say, I am thinking here, before the little county lord passes the door, let Sister Fang and Su'er pass the door, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”

Dai Su'er blushed and remained silent, and Ye Fanggu said, "What are you thinking?" Now the matter between you and the little county lord is a big deal, and the slave family doesn't expect you to marry me. ”

Song Nan said: "Of course you believe me, but I don't dare to guarantee that the little county lord will not have extraneous branches after passing the door, people say that it is one thing before marriage, and it is another thing after marriage, in case the little county lord is a vinegar jar, and he will not let me marry you as an eldest woman in the future, what should I do?" ”

Lu Qingli said: "No, the little county lord is not that kind of person." ”

Song Nan glared at her and said, "Are you the roundworm in her stomach?" Do you remember when I married you, she came over and made a fuss? That's the sprout. ”

Lu Qingli said: "That's also trouble? ”

Song Nan squeezed her eyebrows and gave Lu Qingli a look, asking her not to talk too much, and continued: "I can't pack the ticket, I can't let down Aunt Fang and Su'er, so I want to marry the two of you before I get married, if you don't agree, I don't plan to do it." ”

Ye Fanggu was stunned and said, "What's wrong with you?" I haven't seen you speak ill of the little county lord behind your back, your reason is untenable. ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "Don't manage for no reason, just say whether you are willing or not, in a word, willing is willing, unwilling is unwilling." ”

The third daughter couldn't figure out what was wrong with Song Nan, Ye Fanggu didn't look like she was joking when she looked at Song Nan when she spoke, she had already refused to marry Song Nan several times, could she refuse again this time? Looking at Dai Su'er's expression, it was a thousand willingness, he already felt that he was behind Dai Su'er, if he refused again this time, I am afraid that Song Nan would never propose to marry him again in the future.

"Su'er, what do you say? You and I have experienced some things, and now we know each other, are you willing to marry you and enter the door? Song Nan forced people to make a statement.

Dai Su'er's face was like red paper, I didn't know what to do, all this came too suddenly, although I knew that the day I returned to the Song Mansion, I would follow Song Nan for the rest of my life, but suddenly I was going to get married, and I was still a little at a loss.

"Okay, Su'er acquiesced, now it's Aunt Fang's turn, are you willing?"

The three girls rolled their eyes, and before they could answer, they said that they acquiesced, which was too scoundrel.

"Although the slave family doesn't know why you want to do this today, the slave family doesn't want to be unscrupulous, what the slave family wants to remind you is that you had better discuss this matter with the Guogong Mansion, marry two side rooms in a row before the wedding, I am afraid that you will be scolded by the Guogong Mansion." Ye Fanggu had to warn Song Nan in a straight way.

Song Nan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take care of the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, you only say whether you agree or not." ”

Ye Fanggu hesitated: "It seems that the time is too rushed...... There is only one month left until you get married. ”

Song Nan said: "Then why don't we hurry up and hurry?" Qingli, tell Uncle Zhong to hurry up and write an invitation to send out, and marry Fanggu and Su'er five days later. ”

"Five days later?" The three women opened their mouths wide.

Song Nan said with a smile: "Even if it's me, is it okay?" ”
