Chapter 46: Urgency
"What did the old lady say?" She looked at Xia Zhu intently.
"The old lady is afraid that it will make people panic because of this, and then there are rumors that the Shen family can't hold it and is going to lose, and she is fighting with the Yang family, once the Yang family catches the handle and uses it, the creditor will come to the door to force the debt, and then the gains outweigh the ......losses."
The old lady means to slap the fat man in the face...... Stiff?
Only the old lady knows, maybe this is not something that can be passed by by a long time?
Zhao Qing sighed faintly in his heart.
"What about the eldest lady, what did she say?"
"I heard the old lady say that just because the eldest master borrowed money everywhere, rumors have spread outside, and the eldest lady has temporarily dispelled her thoughts." Xia Zhu sighed, "I'm afraid that this month's monthly interest will be gone......"
When the monthly interest will be paid is not the point.
The important thing is whether the Shen family can survive this hurdle and whether they can get out of this battle for hegemony!
If the Shen family loses, what will happen to her?
I used to be indifferent because I felt that the success or failure of the Shen family had nothing to do with her, and it was a big deal to go back to the Fang family with a cheeky face. However, now that she knows that there is a pearl pond in her backyard that makes the eyes of the royal relatives and nobles in the capital hot, how can she continue to be indifferent?
That's the second wife's dowry!
Even if the Shen family goes bankrupt, it is not among the private property seized by the government!
It is a private property that only the child in her womb can rightfully inherit!
The so-called guilt, if the Shen family can continue to prosper like this, no one dares to peep at Pearl Pond, but once the Shen family declines, in order to take advantage of the situation to get this famous scenic spot, I am afraid that including the second master and the second wife, everyone in their second room will be wiped out!
The news like a thunderbolt in the clear sky made Zhao Qing feel a sudden fear in his heart, and the doubts that had been stuffed in his heart for a long time blurted out, "...... Who told the news that the war in the north would have to be fought for at least seven or eight years? ”
"Commander Fu!"
"Is the news accurate?"
"It's true!" Xia Zhu added, "Otherwise, the Shen and Yang families would not be so desperately fighting for the right to supply food to the Western Expedition Army!" ”
Seven years of food supply.
That would be a huge profit!
"I heard that the Seven Princes in the northwest of a famous town personally led the troops, and this battle will end in less than half a year." Su Dao's letter has always made Zhao Qing angry.
One is the supreme military commander of a province. One is a world-famous Confucian, both of whom are pivotal figures, one literary and one martial, and their identities are comparable. There is no distinction between high and low speech.
Which of the two diametrically opposed statements is true?
Who is lying?
She has to get the most accurate information to make the right judgment!
“…… Says who? Xia Zhu's eyes widened in surprise, and then he shook his head again, "The slave doesn't know!" He immediately affirmed, "Commander Fu was once a subordinate of the Seventh Prince, and he was in charge of the military of Tanxi Province. He can't be wrong! "It's the business of the army, how can the news from the army be wrong?!
If only it were that simple.
The truth is often not what it is known to be, and the more you think you can get the most accurate information, the easier it is to be confused and deceived.
Facing Xia Zhu's unhesitating affirmation, Zhao Qing felt powerless for a while.
After being silent for a long time, he asked again, "Since everyone said that the third master and Commander Fu are friends who are irreversible, why don't you directly buy the military department through Commander Fu to get the right to supply food, but you want to fight with Yang Jiadou to the death?" ”
"yes." Xia Zhu nodded as if he had been empowered, and then shook his head again. "The slave doesn't know."
……
The fear from the bottom of his heart made Zhao Qingyi's ancient brain throw out the questions that had accumulated in his heart one after another.
Xia Zhu shook his head in addition to shaking his head.
Zhao Qing's heart was cold, and he gradually calmed down.
I can't help but laugh at myself secretly.
I was really sick and rushed to the doctor.
Xia Zhu was just a third-class little maid who was grounded in the backyard before she came, how much more could she know than herself?
However, confined in the inner house, who can she ask except for these people around her?
Is it just like the other women in the inner house, to be a businesswoman who sings backyard flowers across the river?
“…… No way! Zhao Qingteng stood up, "You must find out the gallop!" "When he was a child and followed Shen Huaiyu, Chifeng's vision and insight must be extraordinary, he must know the root cause of the struggle between Shen Huaiyu and the Yang family at the beginning. The most accurate information is in your hands.
She is not afraid to face danger, she is afraid to know nothing about the danger that is coming!
She must not be so passively slaughtered, she must take the initiative to control!
Suddenly scared Xia Zhu.
"What is the third grandmother going to do?" A handful of people held her, "You are careful child." Remembering Zhao Qing's previous words. Subconsciously blurted out, "Looking for Chifeng? How can we have money? ”
This is not looking for someone to deliver a message, to see the little girl in the outer courtyard, for her family, who is regarded as a thorn in the eye by the eldest lady and has an unmarried pregnancy record, it is simply difficult to reach the sky!
Especially when rumors have long been spread outside, even the flower slaves in the house have changed their eyes on her third grandmother. At this time, it was too late to think about it in the house, how could her third grandmother continue to do such a criticized outrageous thing?
"No silver!" Zhao Qing's voice was extremely decisive, "You go directly to Huamei, just tell her......" lowered his head and thought about it, "Just say that the third master's 100-day festival is coming, I want to write a sacrificial text, I want to find Chifeng to understand the life and past of the third master, and let her beg the old lady in private." "There is an old lady's words, which is more effective than her tossing for three years!
"To understand the life of the third master, the old lady can talk for three days and three nights!" She was crazy, Xia Zhu's eyes widened in shock.
“…… The third master is doing business outside, and only Chifeng knows best! ”
Extraordinary times, when using extraordinary means.
The food prices outside have gone crazy to the verge of collapse, and the towering edifice of the Shen family may collapse at any time, and she has no time to accumulate slowly!
I hope that the old lady can remember that Shen Huaiyu is her most beloved grandson and promise her!
I hope she guessed correctly, what the old lady wanted most was to let everyone who participated in the Hundred Days Festival know that she was more affectionate to Shen Huaiyu than she really was.
A refutation of the gossip outside!
His face was calm and decisive, but Zhao Qing prayed anxiously in his heart.
"This ......"
Xia Zhu opened his mouth, and continued to persuade a few words, and nodded hurriedly and frightenedly at Zhao Qing's extremely resolute look: "The slave will go immediately!" ”
As the arrears of the moon interest became longer and longer, the entire Shen Mansion was filled with a sluggish and nervous atmosphere, and the old lady was not in the mood to listen to the story, so she took Tian's mother to the nunnery to chant and pray after breakfast every day, asking the Buddha to bless the Shen family to survive this crisis.
Grumpy, her body "crashes" from time to time is her biggest weakness in this life, she deliberately wants to hone her heart, Zhao Qing also has to follow the old lady to chant the scriptures, but the old lady is afraid of tossing the child, so she has a straight face and asks her to go back to Lijing Pavilion to recuperate.
