Chapter 64: Hong Ying refuses to return home
Liu Yong got the news of Hong Ying's release and hurriedly rushed to Huzhou Mansion to pick her up, but when he arrived, he was told that Hong Ying had gone home, Liu Yong immediately returned to Nanxun, and the whole family said that they had not seen Hong Ying come back.
Dongmei Dao: Mom must have gone back to Jili Village to visit her grandmother, let's go to Jili Village to find her.
Liu Yong immediately called a sedan chair and took Dongmei and Qiumei to Song's house in Jili Village.
Hong Ying is really at home. Hong Ying's father and mother saw that their daughter came back intact, and most of her illness was cured and she was able to get up.
When he arrived at Song's house, Liu Yong first asked Hong Ying's father and mother for peace. Dongmei and Qiumei also said hello to their grandparents, and brought them a lot of delicious food, and also brought a lot of things for Hongsheng's son.
Liu Yong said to Hong Ying: I have nothing else to do, please go home with us.
Hong Ying sneered and said, "Except for my mother's home, where do I have a home?" My father and mother were too sad for me, my body could not recover, I left home when I was young, and I was unfilial, and now I am no longer the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, I hope to be able to serve in front of the two elders, and do my filial piety as a daughter.
Dongmei and Qiumei also hugged Hong Ying and cried bitterly. Dao: Mom, don't you really want us, don't you want us? I don't know how much you have suffered for the sake of our whole family, but I know in my heart. Now the bitterness is sweet, and the clouds are open and the moon is bright. If you go home with us and live happily as a family, we will honor you well.
Dongmei and Qiumei's words are real and moving.
Hong Ying said with tears in her eyes: Good girl, my mother is not for you, and maybe she will not come to this point today. Hong Ying took Dongmei and Qiumei's hands and said: "Good girl, Mom knows that you are very sensible. For your sake, Mom has no regrets. Your mistress has received it, just because now your mother has a letter of resignation from your father, and now your mother is not from the Liu family.
When Hong Yingniang heard Hong Ying's words, she came over and said: Oh, don't think so, they have already come to invite you, this is to give you face. You don't want to carry the sedan chair, you want a dustpan, you should go back with them." Looking at the children of these directors, I am also happy in my heart.
Hong Ying's father, who was sitting on a small stool next to him, also interjected. Dao: What is past is gone. Now the family is living peacefully.
Hong Yingdao: Daddy, Mom, why are you confused? Now that everyone knows that I was suspended by the Liu family, what is it if I go to the Liu family again? Is it possible to be an old mother?
Liu Yong hurriedly said: This is easy, I have already thought about it, and after our house is completed, I will still hire three media and six hires to welcome you.
Hong Ying sighed and said: Thank you for your sincerity, now I am covered in bruises, wait for me to rest in my mother's house for a while, and talk about other things later. insisted on refusing to go back.
Liu Yong thought of Hong Ying's suffering over the years because of the Liu family, and was ashamed, and it was difficult to open his mouth to ask Hong Ying to return to the Liu family. Dongmei and Qiumei couldn't persuade her, so they had to follow Liu Yong back to the town with tears in their eyes.
Although Hong Ying was released from prison, Liu Yong still had to deal with the aftermath of the incident. Liu Yong promised Lord Chen to donate 50,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, but Liu Yong emptied his family funds for the construction of the house, and the money bank that became a shareholder coincided with a run some time ago, so he didn't have much cash in his hand. He ran around borrowing money, and he was still short of 20,000 taels.
Lord Chen's limited day is coming soon, Liu Yong knows that the matter is big, and he can't be untrustworthy, and in desperation, he has the idea of a house.
The construction of this house cost Liu Yongwen a full 150,000 taels of silver, mainly spent on the Western building, if you want to sell this house, the town can only take over Gu, Zhang, and Pang.
Liu Yong thought about it, and went to Zhang Songxian first to tell him his idea of selling the house.
Zhang Songxian said: Guanjing, what trouble have you encountered again?
Liu Yong didn't dare to say it explicitly, but Tang Yanghe expanded his business in France and urgently needed capital.
Zhang Songxian said: My two sons are married, and it is too early to build another mansion for them, and 150,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and I can't take it out for a while.
Liu Yong said worriedly: Actually, I don't need so much, now I am piecing it together, and there is only 20,000 taels left.
Zhang Songxian's eyes widened and said: Twenty thousand taels? Do you still have those salt bills in your hand?
If Zhang Songxian hadn't mentioned it, Liu Yong would have forgotten about it a long time ago. Dao: It's still there, what's the matter?
Zhang Songxian clapped his hands and smiled: "Through the scriptures, through the scriptures, you are really a lucky general, there is always God to take care of you at critical moments!"
Liu Yong suddenly came to his senses and asked: But the imperial court has begun to rectify the salt affairs?
Zhang Songxian said, exactly. In the past few months, the imperial court has arrested many illegal salt dealers, and they have all been punished with heavy punishments, and the salt in our hands is worth it again.
Liu Yong hurriedly asked: How much can a copy be worth now?
Zhang Songxian stretched out a slap and said: This number.
Liu Yong exclaimed: Five hundred taels?
Zhang Songxian nodded and said: It will rise next month. So I didn't want to sell it, if you want to sell, I'll take it.
Liu Yong calculated in his heart that he had eighty pieces of salt in his hand that he had exchanged for 20,000 taels of silver from Wang Shengchu, and now he could exchange it for 40,000 taels of silver, almost doubled, so that all problems were solved.
Liu Yong arched his hand and said: Boss Zhang, you are really my nobleman! I am in a hurry to get the money, and I will send you these eighty salt quotation notes to-morrow.
Zhang Songxian said: Okay, I will immediately order someone to prepare the silver for you, you can rest assured.
Although Hong Ying refused to go back to Liu's house, she was always worried about it. The two daughters are about to get married, and she also knows that when she was released from prison, Liu Yong promised the government a donation, and the amount was not small, and it was estimated that Liu Yong would not be able to take out so much cash at once. So, she found Song Hongsheng. She said to Song Hongsheng: Brother, please go for me, the 30,000 taels of silver tickets belong to the Liu family, you go and return them for me.
Song Hongsheng smiled and said: How can there be so many silver tickets around you? I won't be able to earn it in my life.
Hong Yingdao: You don't have to ask about this, you just send it.
Song Hongsheng said again: Aren't you good to send it yourself?
Hong Ying smiled and said: If I send it and the Liu family closes the door and doesn't let me come out, what will it be?
Song Hongsheng couldn't resist his sister, so he had to come to Liu Yong with a silver ticket.
Liu Yong took the silver ticket and sighed deeply: These silver tickets are full of her sadness, and they also have the biggest calamity in her life, so you should take it back and give it to her. Tell her I'm here, and I'm not short of money right now. It's just missing......
Song Hongsheng was embarrassed and said: She said that this is your family's and it is returned to you. She told me to send it, and you told me to take it back, didn't you embarrass me?
Liu Yong told Song Hongsheng the ins and outs of the 30,000 taels of silver tickets. Then he smiled and said: 10,000 taels is earned by herself, please bring this 10,000 taels to her first, and she will also have to spend.
The problem that Liu Yong was worried about at first was solved, and now there are 40,000 taels more. He returned to Liu Shunheng's silk store with easy steps, and after thinking about it, he doubled the scale of the silk shop, opened a pawn shop next to the Shanghai foreign store, and purchased 1,000 acres of land in Qingpu, Shanghai, and the grain produced every year was used to relieve the refugees. When the family moved to a new house, they remarried Hong Ying in a beautiful manner.
Soon after Liu Yong's silver for disaster relief was donated, the colleagues of the Silk Industry Association also donated generously, driving the entire Zhejiang silver donation upsurge. After the disaster relief, Lord Chen was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, and he reported to the imperial court to ask for merit for Liu Yong and Nanxun silk merchants.
