Chapter 203: It's still Xiao Gao who is easy to deceive
Qin Shaoyu immediately asked, "What way?" ”
Song Beibei said: "Qingxian is not the only one of our Song family who does business, although our family is indeed the richest man in Qingxian, but other businessmen, such as Gao Keng's family, it is no problem to pay 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Qin Shaoyu seemed to understand: "Do you want my father to gather all the businessmen in Qingxian County to donate together?" But they are afraid that they will not be willing, and even if they are willing under pressure, they will not give much money......"
"I need to give them benefits." Song Beibei said with a smile, "Our family is so rich, and thanks to the care of the people of Dayong, we should donate money for disaster relief." But our Song family can't donate in vain. ”
Qin Shaoyu said helplessly: "My father is also a county magistrate, and he can't give any practical benefits, so he can't be the master of exempting all those who donate money from taxes, right?" ”
Song Beibei shook his head: "Rich businessmen and rich businessmen, those who have the ability to help others are not short of money, they lack fame and fortune." Shaoyu, you go back and tell your father that he will take the lead in building a monument of merit, but anyone who donates money to this disaster fight, as long as it exceeds 1,000 taels of silver, can engrave his name on the stele, and he is the hero of Qingxian County. ”
Qin Shaoyu thought for a while, nodded and said, "My father can indeed call the shots on a merit monument, I'll go home and talk to my father." ”
"Hmm. However, in order to make those businessmen pay attention to this reputation, we still have to make a gimmick to create the appearance that this merit monument is very important, and everyone spends a lot of money to compete for it. ”
Qin Shaoyu laughed, and looked at Song Beibei's eyes full of appreciation: "Yes, we can find someone to cooperate with the Song family to make a gimmick...... I think the Gao family is good. ”
Song Beibei also smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Shaoyu is really good, she shared her adult experience with him, and he actually understood it at once.
Zhao Zhiyue listened to the two of them the whole time, but she felt that these words were obscure, and she could only understand a little.
She began to have low self-esteem again...... Is he really not worthy of standing with Qin Shaoyu?
……
Qin Shaoyu wanted to go back and tell his father all the plans, but his father was too busy, he had to be busy with disaster relief during the day, and he had to read the papers at night to deal with cases that he didn't have time to hear during the day.
So he wanted to solve the previous matter first, and then tell his father about this plan.
So the next day, he went to Song's house again, called Song Beibei, and asked her to accompany him to Gao's house to persuade Master Gao to donate money.
Song Beibei promised Zhao Zhiyue, but whenever he was with Qin Shaoyu, he had to take her with him, so he called Zhao Zhiyue as well.
After arriving at Gao's house, Qin Shaoyu stood up and asked the housekeeper, "Is Master Gao here?" ”
The housekeeper waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no." ”
Master Gao learned the news from a friend in Hangzhou last night, and knew that Lord Qin would definitely come to ask for money, so he instructed the housekeeper in advance, telling the housekeeper to drive away directly when he saw the people of the Qin family.
Qin Shaoyu asked, "Then where did Master Gao go?" I'll go find him. ”
The housekeeper didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said, "I don't know, I don't know, Qin Xiaogongzi, you better come back another day." ”
Qin Shaoyu is not good at embarrassing people, and just as he was retreating, Song Beibei happened to see Gao Keng passing behind, and hurriedly shouted to him: "Gao Keng!" ”
Gao Keng looked up and glanced at this, originally ignoring Song Beibei and Qin Shaoyu, but when he saw Zhao Zhiyue also standing behind the two of them, he hurriedly walked over with a smile on his face.
Song Beibei hurriedly asked him, "Gao Keng, where is your father?" ”
Gao Keng glanced at her and pouted, "My father is not at home." ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhiyue with a smile on his face.
Zhao Zhiyue avoided his gaze, and only felt that he was so annoying......
Song Beibei's eyes circled around Gao Keng and Zhao Zhiyue, and suddenly pulled Zhao Zhiyue's sleeve and winked at her.
Cousin, help, it's up to you if you can ask about Master Gao's whereabouts.
Zhao Zhiyue can understand...... She gritted her teeth, endured it, and gave Gao Keng a smile, repeating what Song Beibei asked: "Gao Keng, where is your father?" ”
Gao Keng hurriedly said: "My father is ......"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, quickly touched Gao Keng, and reminded in a low voice: "Young master......"
"Oh, don't bother me!" Gao Keng pushed away the housekeeper and continued to say to Zhao Zhiyue, "My father is dealing with the rice porters at the dock, do you have something to do with my father?" ”
Zhao Zhiyue didn't know whether to tell Gao Keng about this, so she looked at Song Beibei and asked what she meant.
Song Beibei said with a smile: "Gao Keng, we do have something to do with your father, you see that half of our bodies are wet, and there is this heavy rain outside, you know how serious the flood is this year." I hope your Gao family can donate some silver to help the victims. ”
After that, he glanced at Zhao Zhiyue again, and then said to Gao Keng with a proud face: "My cousin and I donated more than 1,000 taels of silver we saved!" Are the two of us beautiful and kind-hearted? ”
"Do you want to be shameless? What kind of beauty are you? Gao Keng rolled his eyes at Song Beibei, but when he looked at Zhao Zhiyue, he had a completely gentle face, "Zhao Zhiyue, you are really a beautiful person." ”
Zhao Zhiyue smiled awkwardly, and followed Song Beibei's words: "Do you Gao family donate?" ”
Gao Keng scratched his head: "I don't know if my father donates or not, but I can't go out to play these days, and I have saved almost a hundred taels of silver, I can donate them all, you wait for me, I'll give it to you." ”
Song Beibei said: "Gao Keng, you don't have to give it to us now, in a few days, Lord Qin will have a banquet for the rich merchants of Qingxian County in the teahouse, and everyone will donate silver there, and you take your one hundred taels with you." My cousin and I will go when the time comes, and we'll be more than anyone else who does! ”
Gao Keng's eyes narrowed: "I'm afraid you won't make it?" ”
In the past few days, he has taken all the good things he usually collects to the pawnshop!
and then secretly sold all the precious ceramics and antiques in his house!
Save a lot of money, and you will definitely be able to make a big splash in front of the fairies when the time comes.
"Okay, then we'll wait for you." Song Beibei said that, and pulled away Qin Shaoyu and Zhao Zhiyue with a smile.
After walking a little farther, Song Beibei said to Zhao Zhiyue: "Cousin, you have helped a lot!" ”
Qin Shaoyu also looked at Zhao Zhiyue and praised calmly: "Yes, thanks to you, otherwise Gao Keng would definitely not tell us where Master Gao is, and he would not agree to donate silver, I thank you for my father." ”
Zhao Zhiyue was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly shook her head: "Don't thank me, it's not worth mentioning." ”
It turns out that being grateful by the person you like can be so happy?
The three of them continued to the pier in the wind and rain.
With such a heavy rain, the umbrellas in the hands of the three of them were not used at all, and when they saw Master Gao, the three of them were all dazed, as if they had just been fished up from the river.
Qin Shaoyu's cold lips were bloodless, and after recovering a little, he went to the wooden corridor outside the dock and said to Master Gao: "Master Gao......"
Before he finished speaking, Master Gao waved his hand again and again: "Little Master Qin, it's not that I don't want to relieve my worries for Lord Qin, it's really that my Gao family really can't come up with the money!" ”
