Chapter 614: Sisters (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Jiang Lun said: "It's not a field house, but a ...... Silver. ”

"What? Silver? ”

Zhang Heling glared angrily, almost wanting to kill.

I don't want to take the house or the land, and I want to ask for money directly?

Taking someone's money is like killing someone, do your parents know?

"This silver is talking about the silver sold in the coal kiln, and after the auction, two percent of the silver will be taken out and handed over to the two marquis, and the rest will be deposited in the silver number, and two percent will be paid every year, for a total of four years...... It can be paid off in full in four years, and as long as the two marquis in the middle do not make a big mistake, all the silver will be cashed out with interest. ”

Jiang Lun said the conditions.

Although Zhang Heling is greedy for money, he is not the material for settling accounts.

"What...... Meaning? ”

Zhang Heling didn't understand.

The housekeeper next to him hurriedly reminded: "Master, a lot of new silver accounts have been opened in the city recently, saying that the silver is deposited in it, and the interest is nearly 10% a year, and many people rush to deposit money inside." ”

Zhang Heling suddenly realized: "Is this for me to deposit the silver in it and take it out when the deadline is reached?" Can be a ...... Lao Tzu's interest on a month's loan is far more than 10%! ”

The Zhang family not only engaged in mining business, but also lent usury, because in these years, usury was the real business of profit.

Jiang Lun said: "The silver number is very regular, the harvest is guaranteed by drought and flood, and this time it is ordered by His Majesty to deposit the silver from the trading kiln to the silver number, if the two marquis are not satisfied with this......"

"Do you not give the silver from the sale of the mines?"

Zhang Heling looked at Jiang Lun with blank eyes.

He now understands that Jiang Lun is not here to deliver silver, but to threaten him to obey.

Jiang Lun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You can't say that, the silver originally belonged to the two marquis, but when it will be cashed out later, it is difficult to say, there is a shortage of silver in the southeast coastal defense recently, about 200,000 taels, and the silver obtained from the sale of the mine kiln may be borrowed first." ”

"Shit! Haiphong is short of silver, and has a Mao relationship with our brother? This money is what we have earned so hard......"

Jiang Lun secretly slandered himself, obviously robbed it, easy to cut?

The mining kiln did not belong to your two brothers in the first place, and they were all obtained by cunning and looting, but it is only because the civil officials are now on your side that Your Majesty did not directly confiscate the silver you sold in the mining kiln, and you still dare to speak out?

Jiang Lun asked, "Does the Hou Ye agree?" ”

Zhang Heling thought for a while and said, "Let Ben Hou discuss it with my second child." I'll reply later. ”

Jiang Lun got up and said, "If that's the case, then I can only go back and make a decision, saying that the two marquis have not yet made a decision." ”

The housekeeper next to him reminded again: "Master, let's agree, the coal kiln will be sold tomorrow, if it can't be settled now, then you and the second master's grounding order...... But I don't know when it will be lifted. Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. ”

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth: "You go back and tell Your Majesty, I agree!" Hey, it's only sold for 50,000 taels, and it will take four years to get it back, and I'm at a big loss! ”

……

……

Jiang Lun returned to the official office, and Tang Yin had returned, but Zhu Hao was nowhere to be seen.

After Jiang Lun finished speaking, Tang Yin smiled and said: "Zhu Haoming wants the two Zhang family to send some capital for Yinhao...... Hey, the silver has entered the silver number, and how to use it at that time is up to Zhu Hao to decide. ”

"yes."

Jiang Lun dealt with it casually, although he didn't quite understand it, but after all, he had successfully completed the task entrusted by the emperor, which was considered a meritorious service.

As he was talking, Zhang Zuo and Zhu Chen came in from outside.

Zhang Zuo looked around and asked, "What about Mr. Zhu?" ”

Tang Yin said: "Jingdao went home, saying that he had some personal matters to do...... It's completely understandable, the newlywed Yan'er of the little couple is like glue, which is human nature...... We can't be too lenient, can we? ”

Zhang Zuo's face was full of embarrassment.

Understanding is understanding, but you Tang someone, don't be in front of the eunuchs, is it okay for the two of you to be in front of me? Can you die if you take care of other people's feelings?

"Is Your Majesty out of the palace today?" Jiang Lun looked at Zhang Zuo, meaning, I have completed the mission here, do you want me to show my face in front of the emperor?

"I don't know for the time being, but I guess it may ...... Don't go out of the palace. ”

Zhang Zuo knew that Jiang Lun was on the rise at the moment, and he was embarrassed to say anything, but he also knew that Zhu Si would not come out that day, after all, Zhu Si still wanted to come to see the auction of the coal kiln, and these were all discussed with Zhu Hao in advance.

"Oh."

Jiang Lun was a little regretful, but he still wanted to wait.

……

……

Zhu Hao does have personal matters to do.

He wanted to take advantage of his wife Sun Lan to see Lou Suzhen before it got dark in the afternoon, after all, he had made an appointment with Lou Suzhen, let Lou Suzhen take Sun Lan, and let Sun Lan, who had nothing to do, busy.

When Sun Lan and Zhu Hao went out, they didn't know where to go, so they just thought they were going to see their mother-in-law.

I didn't want the carriage to stop in front of an ordinary-looking courtyard in the east of the city.

Zhu Hao asked the maid Chunyu to help the person down, while he himself went to knock on the door, and soon the door opened from the inside, and a person walked out, it was Lou Suzhen.

At this time, Lou Suzhen was wearing an elegant long skirt, her clothes were not luxurious, but she had a natural nobility, perhaps Lou Suzhen knew that she was going to see Zhu Hao's wife today, so she specially picked it up, she usually went out to meet people in men's clothes, and she looked a little more charming today.

"This is ...... Mrs. Ann. ”

Zhu Hao didn't know what to call Lou Suzhen, so he said casually.

Sun Lan respectfully saluted Lou Suzhen.

Lou Suzhen returned the courtesy: "Mrs. was born with a beautiful face and moon appearance, and her son is really a talented woman, a match made in heaven." ”

Sun Lan didn't reply, obviously she didn't think so in her heart.

She was very curious, who was the so-called "Mrs. An" in front of her?

Could it be a woman whose husband is kept outside? But depending on the age...... It's not like it, but I have to admit that this woman has a special temperament, maybe people can attract young men?

Lou Suzhen saw Sun Lan's suspicions, and explained with a smile: "The concubine had a good life in Jiangnan, and it was a pity that the family was in trouble, but fortunately Mr. Tang and Gongzi took it in, so that the concubine had a place to stay, and came to Beijing to come to Beijing. Usually the concubine takes care of some daily affairs as a son, as well as ...... Teaching women's studies, etc., the lady will know slowly in the future. ”

Zhu Hao said to Sun Lan: "Madam, I brought you here, I learned more from Mrs. An, she was born in a scholarly family, her knowledge and conversation are commendable, and her family is not worse than Mrs., she has studied poetry and painting with Mr. Tang, but Mr. Tang is high-footed, talented, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”

Sun Lan saluted again, but said nothing.

The main reason is that she is not familiar with Lou Suzhen, or even Zhu Hao, and now she is suddenly brought in to teach what kind of female school, she doesn't know what to do, and she has never planned to do so before.

Zhu Hao said: "I bought a courtyard nearby, and let Mrs. An take you over to see it in a while, you can usually live here." In the future, let Chunyu go back and forth, taking care of both sides, the maid or something can be brought over, if there is something missing, just tell Mrs. An, she is presiding over everything here. ”

"Hmm."

Sun Lan saluted Zhu Hao.

It looks very polite.

But she didn't know what she was doing.

Seems to have moved again?

She was very curious, how many homes did Zhu Hao have in the capital?

It is not easy to live in the capital!

A new science and technology scholar, even if he is the champion, doesn't have so much money to buy so many houses in the capital, right?

Even if it is rented, the rent in the capital is not cheap, with Zhu Hao's meager income in the Hanlin Academy, can he afford it?

……

……

Zhu Hao sent people to Lou Suzhen, and hurried back, after all, there were still a large number of recitals waiting for him to review at night.

After Zhu Hao left.

Lou Suzhen took Sun Lan to the other courtyard separated by two courtyards, probably to let this "housewife" see her future residence in order to verify Zhu Hao's words, the point is to show that Zhu Hao does not live here permanently on weekdays.

"Usually Mr. Tang will come over to discuss state affairs with his concubine, and occasionally talk about some content of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I have an old friendship with him......"

Lou Suzhen said this, with a little tenderness in her eyes.

Sun Lan was thoughtful, and probably understood that Lou Suzhen had nothing to do with Zhu Hao, but seemed to have an inexplicable relationship with Tang Yin.

Although Sun Lan didn't know how old Tang Yin was, he probably estimated that he was at least in his forties and nearly fifty, and he had something to do with such a demure, beautiful and charming woman, everything could be explained.

"Madame, wait a minute, after the concubine is simply cleaned up, I will take you to see the school run by Gongzi." Lou Suzhen said.

Sun Lan said: "Madame is polite, I'm ...... The surname is Sun, not a lady. ”

Lou Suzhen pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Actually, strictly speaking, I should call you the master mother, because after all, I am doing things for my son, if he hadn't helped back then, I am afraid I would have ...... long ago I went to Huangquan, and now I am alive in the world, and I can still have a career, which is really lucky.

"But seeing that you are so easy-going, why don't we call each other sisters, you can call me Sister An, and I will call you Sister Sun......"

Sun Lan secretly wondered.

I just said you don't call me Madame, but you didn't call me sister.

I used to be too angry, but now I'm so close, and I don't fit in.

"Sister." Sun Lan said.

"Okay, sister, sister will take you there in a moment."

Lou Suzhen was also very happy.

Zhu Hao even sent his wife to her, which shows that Zhu Hao trusts her very much, and with Sun Lan here, Lou Suzhen feels that she can know more about Zhu Hao and make herself more valuable in front of Zhu Hao.

With Sun Lan by her side, she can have a companion when she talks and does things, which is much more comfortable than communicating with a maid or something.

Sun Lan asked, "...... What exactly is to be done? ”

Lou Suzhen smiled: "At a glance, I know that Gongzi didn't make it clear to you...... In fact, Gongzi Ming is the champion of the Ming Dynasty, who repairs for historians in the Hanlin Academy, usually helps the imperial court repair books, and does light work. And in private, Childe has always been in business, so let's just say that around here, there are two important livelihoods of Childe. ”

"Doing business?"

Sun Lan was confused when he heard it.

Zhu Hao, as the champion of the new department, still has the mind to do business? Even if it does, it should be a shop or something, how can it be as if it is doing something shady?

"Yes, there is a women's school opened by Gongzi around here, and all the women from the vicinity of Kyoto are accepted, and they learn basic writing and arithmetic, as well as spinning and weaving and other skills. There are also a number of weaving workshops dedicated to these women, among which the spinning workshop is near the left, and the weaving workshops are scattered all over the capital.

"In addition, there is also an opera troupe run by Gongzi on the two streets in front, which came from Anlu, and the famous Anlu opera in Beijing was brought to the capital by Gongzi, among which the literate female actors in the opera troupe are also female scholars, and Mrs. will be able to see them in a while."

The third update is here, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, please!
