Chapter 3 Debt Collectors and Debtors
"What I gave to Martha just now was the last profit of our mansion......"
"......" Li Yewu.
"But don't worry, soon the master's reward will arrive, and then we will have a turnover."
"......" Li Yewu.
"Little lady, the old slave has already sprinkled and cleaned the courtyard for you, you should go and rest first......"
Before the old butler could finish speaking, the porter hurried in.
"The housekeeper is not good, the creditor is ...... The creditor came to the door. ”
"What?" The old butler panicked.
He glanced at Li Yewu, who had just arrived, and hurriedly said to Zicui: "Quick, send the little lady back to the yard first......
"It's all at this time, what are you still hiding?"
"King Yu's wedding, we should celebrate anyway."
"Where is the princess, the little one dares to disturb, the princess should not move to rest."
Four or five brightly dressed people entered the palace hall one after another, and they began to be aggressive before they saw Li Yewu.
The old butler tried to speak, but the men quickly stopped him.
"Old butler, you don't know anything, the city has already spread all over the city, the princess arrived today, since the princess is here, you can give us justice, right?"
"That's right, we don't have high requirements, just settle these IOUs."
"My family is the least, and it is okay to settle my family first."
……
Facing the gossiping crowd, Li Yewu looked at Zicui for help, and Zicui leaned into Li Yewu's ear with great insight and muttered.
"They are wealthy merchants in Taiqi City, and their master has borrowed a lot of silver taels from them."
"......" Li Yewu.
In the past, when creditors came to the door, the housekeeper could send them away on the grounds that "the prince is not in Taiqi City", but now that Li Yewu has appeared, it means that the palace has a talker.
After all, there is no difference between finding a hostess to write off the account and finding the male host to write off the account, and the palace can't find a reason anymore, right?
Therefore, the creditors brought their servants to the door as soon as possible, and the princess avoided it, and everyone tore their faces.
Looking at all this in front of him, Li Yewu was almost numb, first the bandits and then the creditors, one or two of them all asked for money, the problem was ...... What's the matter with her? It's not a debt to her.
As if reading Li Yewu's expression, the rich people spoke unhurriedly.
"We didn't mean to embarrass the princess, but the princess and the princess are one, and the prince is not naturally looking for you, and we can't help it, everyone has to live, so you can pity us."
Li Yewu could see that although Xiao Jiuxi was the king of Taiqi, he didn't have much prestige in this place, and he didn't even think about managing this land well.
Look at the chaos...... Won't Xiao Jiuxi's conscience hurt! He couldn't bear to throw his life-saving benefactor here, and the original owner might as well continue to stay in the imperial capital to sell flowers! I don't have to face debt.
Li Yewu looked at everyone with a black line on his face: "Although I sympathize with you, I will first state that I am not the princess, and I should not be responsible for this debt." ”
"Huh?"
"You're not a princess? No kidding. ”
"It's useless for you to say no, you can't fool us now."
Everyone looked shrewd and determined, as if to say, don't try to deceive me.
Li Yewu was not in a hurry, and only looked at the housekeeper: "Old housekeeper, what do you call me." ”
"Little lady."
"If it's the wife that Wang Ye Mingmei is marrying, what should it be called?"
"Well, the princess, of course."
The old butler replied a little weakly, but also a little honestly.
"What do you mean by that?" Listening to the two singing back and forth, the creditors were unhappy.
"Is this still addictive to acting?"
"We're not going to be fooled."
Li Yewu didn't follow their rhythm, but smiled: "The princess was married by the emperor, three books and six ceremonies, four hired hardware, eight sedan chairs, ten miles of red makeup, a phoenix crown and a veil, and the Ming media is marrying home."
And I, have you seen His Majesty's marriage edict? Or do you see three books, six ceremonies, four hired hardware, etc.? ”
Everyone frowned: "Those ...... You are married in the imperial capital, how can we see it? ”
Li Yewu smiled: "Even if you can't see this, Shili Red Makeup should follow me to Taiqi City, have you ever seen my Shili Red Makeup?" ”
The crowd was silent.
Li Yewu continued to speak: "Besides, just now, the Martha boss must not be able to hide it from everyone in public, you should know whether I have the ability to solve the debts of King Zhen." ”
The implication is that it's useless to look for me, I have no money and no power, I'm just a tool man.
Now the creditors are anxious: "You...... You...... The implication is that you have to pay the bills? ”
Li Yewu sighed helplessly: "I also want to help King Qi solve problems, and I also want to solve the debt problem for everyone, but as you can see, I really have more than enough heart and not enough strength." ”
The creditors gasped, and in a trance, they seemed to see Xiao Jiuxi, these two faces were exactly the same!
The old butler and the servants were also surprised at first, and then silently covered their faces with a look of shame.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
The creditors never expected the princess to be like this, they thought that the king married the princess, and the IOU of the mansion was expected to be written off, but now, I am afraid that the day of the IOU will be written off is more and more far away.
Thinking that the return of the money was far away, and the wife at home was about to beat and scold herself for being useless, one of the creditors, the uncle, angrily lifted his robe and sat on the ground in public: "I don't care, I can't get the money today, I won't leave." ”
Uncle thought to himself, if you can cheat, Lao Tzu will too!
The money is gone, what do you want to do with this cheek, you have to rely on everyone to rely on it, and see who relies on whom!
"......" Li Yewu.
Seriously, ancient times was an era when people were most strict with etiquette, especially people with social status, they would not do things that were dissolute, let alone let them sit on the ground like three-year-old children.
can force this businessman to be like this, it seems that there is really no way to live.
For a moment, Li Yewu really wanted to take all the tables and chairs in the palace to pay off the debt.
One of them did this, and the other debt collectors also sat down with him when they saw this, and the servants they brought with him naturally sat down when they saw their master sitting down.
The uncles who collected debts sat on the ground shamelessly and didn't leave, and all the people in the palace were stunned.
Although he is well versed in the truth that he does owe money if he doesn't repay his debts, Li Yewu is really powerless, and the palace is the same, he has no ability to repay the money at all.
Li Yewu also tried to talk to these people, asking them to be lenient for a while, and he would definitely return it one day.
Perhaps I have heard too many reasons like this, and the rich have made up their minds not to listen, not to believe, not to watch, not to care, and to ask for money.
The creditor doesn't go in and admits death, and she can't help it.
At the end, Li Yewu shrugged regretfully: "Okay, you guys sit down, I'll go take a nap first, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”
