The Nanmen family has been a series of happy events in the past few days, first of all, several generals on the northern front have been transferred to vacate the position of a captain, and after discussing with the military department, they plan to recommend Nanmen Fuping, who has begun to show its edge in recent years.

Although he has only changed from being in charge of 1,000 people to being in charge of 3,000 people, and his military rank has only been promoted by half a grade, as long as he is a captain, no matter how many people he has, he can be called a general outside.

For example, Wang San, the captain of the gate who held the four hundred Beijing guards, although he only had a six-rank official position, he liked to call himself a general in front of the public, even if someone was not pleasing to the eye, at most he ridiculed him for wearing a high hat in private, but it could not be said that he exceeded the rules.

Nanmen Fuping can become the first candidate for this position, and naturally the family is indispensable to operate in the back.

Compared with the consumption of a lot of material and financial resources of the family to get the upper position of the South Gate Fuping, his own brother Nanmen Fubu will be a lot more angry, not long ago by His Majesty's blue eyes, summoned to the palace to talk for an afternoon, the Son of Heaven asked a lot of things about politics halfway, this Nanmen family of genius are all fluent in answers, unique views are not conventional.

It is a well-known fact that the kings of the past dynasties emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, and even General Zhenyuan could not escape the fate of hiding the bow of the bird, let alone other generals.

On weekdays, no matter how the saint rectifies the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the court still favors the civil and military officials in the civil and military disputes, which also makes the Nanmen family pay special attention to the cultivation of the Nanmen Fubu.

After all, unlike the military attache who relies on military exploits to speak, civil officials seem to be stable and peaceful, but in fact they are full of thorns, and some people may not be able to get ahead in their lives.

If a civil official wants to gain a foothold in the court, strength and luck are indispensable, but fortunately, the head of the Nanmen family has the foresight and has spent more than ten years paving the road before coming to the capital, which makes the official career of the younger generations of the family relatively smooth.

Nanmen Hong's original intention was to hope that his son would become an official, but how could he make people worse, Nanmen Huo Xin's qualifications were mediocre, and in the end, all the preparations made wedding dresses for several children of Nanmen Yan.

Fortunately, Nanmen Hong is not a narrow-minded person, and as the head of the family, he has his own thinking about taking into account the overall situation, so his son can't count on it, so it is better to be a favor and become other descendants in the clan.

Even if the son doesn't make a name for himself in the future, and eats and waits for death in the clan, outsiders can't say anything wrong, and being a father is considered to be well-intentioned.

……

As for this last happy event, it is related to Nanmen Hong's unfortunate son.

Since Nanmen Huo Xin made up his mind to stay with Gu Huakui of Fengyue Tower, he has been riveting enough to borrow silver everywhere, 500,000 taels seems to be a huge amount, but it can be put in the capital full of dignitaries, it is nothing.

With Gu Sanniang's appearance, don't say 500,000 taels, even if 5 million taels are married home, a lot of people are rushing to pay for it, but in this critical moment of strict investigation of corrupt officials, no one dares to defy the wind.

Nanmen Huo Xin knew that he had picked up a big bargain, and Gu Huakui's smile did grow on the tip of his heart, so he couldn't take care of it. After so many days, he borrowed from everyone, but there was still a difference of more than 100,000 taels, and after thinking about it again and again, Nanda Gongzi finally walked into the underground bank.

……

"Yo, rare guest, isn't this the son of the South Gate?"

As soon as Huo Xin stepped into the gate of Qianzhuang at the south gate, a guy immediately greeted him.

"You know me?" Nanmen Huo Xin looked puzzled.

"The name of the son of the South Gate is like thunder, who doesn't know the capital circle? What's the matter, Childe is short of money to spend? ”

The guy was full of smiles, there were more noble sons who came here on weekdays, and he would not be surprised if he could meet three or five one day, and Qian Zhuang liked to do the business of these eunuchs the most, and he usually borrowed it happily, and he didn't have to worry about them defaulting on his debts.

Even if a few people can't turn around for a while, as long as they come to the door with an IOU, the elders who know the virtues of their children and grandchildren will also pay back the principal with interest.

……

Of course, Nanmen Huo Xin knew that the "thunderous ears" in the other party's mouth was not a good reputation, but now that he was begging someone to borrow money, he couldn't lose his temper even more, so he laughed dryly and said:

"It's been a bit tight lately, and I heard from Mr. Qian that the interest on your side is fair, so come and take a look."

When the guy heard this, his face suddenly appeared, and he patted his chest and said:

"Nanmen Gongzi, you can inquire in the whole capital, and no one can have a lower interest rate than us."

It seemed that he was afraid that the other party would run away, and after the guy finished speaking, he hurriedly continued:

"With your identity as the eldest son of the South Gate, the small one will make a claim once, and you will not be charged interest for less than three thousand taels, even if you use it, you will pay it back when you have enough money."

The man's words were sincere enough, and the wary Nanmen Huo Xin was also a lot relieved when he heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said:

"I won't embarrass my little brother, it's as much as it should be, and three thousand taels is really not enough."

"Childe, how much do you want to borrow?"

"One hundred and eighty thousand taels." Nanmen Huo Xin hesitated to say this number, and then added: "If there are not so many 150,000 taels, it will be fine." ”

Hearing this, the guy hurriedly waved his hand, "How dare the person who opened the money bank say that there is no silver?" You sit down first, and I'll arrange it. ”

After saying that, the guy ran away as soon as he smoked, for fear that he would lose the big customer by moving too slowly.

……

Nanmen Huo Xin casually found a table and sat down, there was a new tea on the table, he was not polite, he directly poured himself a cup, took a sip, and found that it was a good Tieguanyin that would be sold for dozens of taels of silver for a pound outside.

It seems that this money village is indeed as his wine and meat friend said, only doing business for the gentlemen in the capital.

After a while, the man came over with a tray, and there was a stack of silver tickets neatly stacked on the tray, and next to the silver tickets, there was a document written on good rice paper.

"Nanmen Gongzi, I've kept you waiting, you count the silver tickets, if it's okay, sign it."

As the man spoke, he handed over a stack of silver tickets, and Huo Xin of the South Gate took it and counted it slightly, a total of thirty-six tickets, each of which was a full amount of five thousand taels.

After checking that there was no problem, Nanmen Huo Xin directly signed the IOU.

"The son of the South Gate is really happy."

The guy made a big order, his eyes narrowed happily, and he nodded and sent the God of Wealth away.

……

After Huo Xin left the money village at the south gate, a figure walked out of the inner room, wearing an indigo embroidered coat and a unicorn jade pendant around his waist.

"Childe, it's all done."

The man took the rice paper, stretched out his hand and flicked the name of Huo Xin at the south gate and said:

"Toast without eating and drinking, and want to marry Gu Huakui, it's like a toad who wants to eat swan meat."

"That's what Childe said." The guy hurriedly chimed in.

The man took the IOU into his arms, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "He deserves to rob a woman with his son as a waste?" Let him live happily for a few days first, and then go to Fengyue Tower to ask for accounts in a few days. ”

"Second son Ji, don't worry."

The person who came was the one who was jealous of the son of the Ji family, Ji Qilin, who was jealous of Huo Xin in the Fengyue Building that day.
