Chapter 146: Borrowing Money
After the group left, they left behind a messy scene and hungry bodyguards.
Looking at everyone's embarrassment, Wei Hong approached the stove, cooked millet porridge, put the leftover lamb chops together, and boiled a pot of pork rib soup.
will eat it, although it is much worse than mutton, it is better to be full, much better than the days of servitude, but there is a gap in my heart.
Everyone arranged the food, Wei Hong put down the affairs in his hand and came to Zheng Xiong.
"I'm done, I'll come to the door tomorrow to propose, don't be excited."
"It's like a dream, I don't know if it's right or wrong, I hope you're a good person!"
"A good person can't be talked about, at least not a bad person."
"Uh, can you regret it?"
"Late, your neighbors already know about it, and now you want to regret it."
"Hmm."
Seeing that Wei Hong was speechless, Zheng Xiong secretly took Wei Hong's little hand in his hand and stroked it gently.
Wei Hong resisted slightly, and then let Zheng Xiong play with it.
is a little rough, but it is conceivable that Wei Hong's life with a few younger brothers is definitely not easy.
After warming up for a while, Zheng Xiongjing opened his mouth.
"It's not early, go to bed early, I'll be busy tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Even if there are thousands of words, Wei Hong at this time is a little at a loss where to start, so she can only listen to Zheng Xiong's arrangement.
There is no doubt that tonight's Wei Hong will usher in another sleepless night.
As soon as the sky was bright, Zheng Xiong was woken up by the bodyguards, the human alarm clock, and endured his sleepiness, and got up early to wash up for the first time.
said hello to Wei Hong, took the little official and a few bodyguards to the inn in Yingxian County, took out the clothes he brought, and rode a tall horse to Yanmen Pass in a hurry.
Zheng Xiong didn't take the scenery all the way to heart, but just stuffed his head and headed towards Yanmen Pass.
At noon, Zheng Xiong, who was in a hurry, first went to the barracks to deal with the accumulated affairs.
Nothing major happened, except for the wounded soldiers who were sent one after another, and these were handled by Li Si and Yang for a day, and they were already handy, and Zheng Xiong didn't need to worry about it.
Seeing that everything was as usual, Zheng Xiong came to the mansion.
Zhang Huaiyuan got the news of Zheng Xiong's coming, put down his official duties, and summoned Zheng Xiong.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, so I don't know how it will be in the near future."
Although he knew the news that Zheng Xiong skipped work to play, Zhang Huaiyuan was not a nosy person, and he didn't mean to trouble Zheng Xiong, just chatting as usual.
"The scenery of Yanmen Pass is good, I have been playing everywhere in the past few days, and it is worth the trip."
"Oh, can you tell me about the withdrawal, this official Tian has been promoted to Yanmen Pass, and he hasn't visited it properly."
"There's no rush for this, I'll talk to the adults when I have time, and now there is a big matter that needs to be brought up for the help of the adults."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Then you're welcome."
After speaking, Zheng Xiong rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly.
"I didn't bring any money with me, I want to ask the master to borrow some, about a hundred taels of silver, and copper coins are fine."
borrowed money when he came up, which made Zhang Huaiyuan stunned on the spot, but when he said it, it was not good to refuse on the spot, so he could only say it euphemistically.
"I also know that our year's income is so little, and it is not much when converted into silver, and there is still a large family to support, if there are ten taels or twenty taels, one hundred taels of silver is too much."
"It's not for nothing, how about nine out of thirteen, this one hundred taels will wait for me to return to Yingtianfu, and I will pay you one hundred and fifty taels."
It's a bit hard to refuse, the interest is high, and Zheng Xiong's family background is not bad, not only can he make money, but he can also settle personal favors, and he will make a steady profit without losing money, but he has to ask about the specific purpose.
"What to do with the money, if there is any difficulty, the official still has a little face in this Yanmen Pass."
"I just told the promotion that something big happened, and I still remember the promotion."
"Remember, I haven't had time to ask what the big thing is that I need to withdraw the borrowed money."
"I want to understand it, Xia Guan is already in his twenties, and this major life event has not been resolved, not only the family is anxious, but Xia Guan is also anxious."
"No, I went out for a few days, and I just met a woman I liked, and I borrowed some money to solve my life events."
It turned out to be such a big event, and I was shocked to think that the Yuan army was coming.
"This favor can help, I don't have so much money, about fifty yuan of money, nine out of thirteen will be counted."
If you don't charge interest, it is pure human affection, and after weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Xiong still accepts it, after all, Zheng Xiong doesn't know how much money he can borrow in these years.
"Thank you for the transfer of the lord, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I don't know how long it will take for the lord to raise it."
"Wait."
"You Er, go to the account room and take out fifty taels of silver for Zheng Ti."
"Yes, sir."
"Now, the withdrawal is satisfied."
"Satisfied, there is still a little thing I want to trouble to promote the adult."
"Everything, everything you can do is done."
The money is borrowed, Zhang Huaiyuan doesn't mind being a favor, in the officialdom, favors are a good thing.
"There are a few guys in the woman's family, all of whom were brought up by their eldest sister, and they want to buy them a house, so that their eldest sister can rest assured, and they don't know if there is a way to promote adults."
"Where?"
"Ying County."
"The county order of that place seems to be your fellow person, and it is useful for me to say hello before you go to visit."
"Ah, I really don't know about this, I don't have an intersection."
"Your reputation is out, the county order of the place under my jurisdiction is the most mentioned by you, how fast you are promoted, don't you know, even the champion is not as big as you, you are the driving force for them to do things."
"I don't know, I'm going to visit tomorrow, thank you for your advice."
"Speaking of this, the ability to withdraw is also convinced, just this wounded soldier withdrawal has saved many people, not to mention the past exploits, the ancient divine doctor can be said to be inferior to you, it is really the luck of the people in the world."
"The promotion of the lord is false, and I dare not be ashamed."
"Master, it's inconvenient to carry copper coins, this is fifty taels of silver."
"Well, give me a little bit of a drawdown."
"No, I can't be confused by the adult, I'll write an IOU to the adult."
As it should be, fifty guan is also a huge amount of money, and no one is rich, especially the officials under Lao Zhu.
The most famous IOU is Yan Zhenqing's "Begging Rice Post": clumsy in life, eating porridge with his family, and coming for several months. Now it is exhausted, only to be worried and fry, and to be affectionate. Therefore, the order is announced, benefiting a small amount of rice, and it is hard to help. Still forgive me for the trouble. True Grace.
Zheng Xiong does not have Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy background, and it is certainly not as valuable as Yan Zhenqing's IOU, which is simple and direct due to the influence of later generations.
Today, I borrowed Yanmen Pass to raise Zhang Huaiyuan's silver coin 50 taels, and the word was used as evidence.
signed, stamped with his own private seal, and a simple IOU was baked and handed to Zhang Huaiyuan.
"The IOU I received was really different, and I accepted this IOU."
"Thank you, Lord Tiao."
"It's okay, life events are not child's play, I will help those who can."
