Tao Jiang nodded to Mama Wang, and Mama Wang walked out with a blushing face, and her iron-like voice soon sounded under the corridor:

"What are the second ladies arguing about here! I don't know, when we are those households in Sajin Street in the west of the city, there are no rules! ”

The Sicha Gu family lives in Sajin Street in the west of the city, and Mama Wang almost didn't write the household registration code of the Gu family on the door of her head.

Gu Shi was very annoyed when she heard this, but she couldn't argue with an old slave, after all, they didn't say it clearly, and she couldn't take the initiative to sit down and fall into the pit.

In addition, Mama Wang's mouth kung fu is very powerful, Gu Shi has argued with her several times, but he has not been able to get any benefits.

She could only retract her momentum and hummed coldly from her nose:

"I have something important to ask Tao Jiang. How? As a general businessman, you can't even see your second aunt? ”

Mama Wang was not excited by her, and slapped her clothes a few times, then raised her face and said:

"We will definitely not be able to stop the second lady from entering the door. It's just that my young lady is weak and should not sit for a long time, and I hope that the second lady will make a long story short, don't disturb my young lady's rest. ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Gu's family, opened the curtain and walked straight in.

If he hadn't made this game for Tao Jiangbu early, in this gloomy Ruiyun Courtyard, Gu Xiaomei wouldn't want to stay longer for a moment!

"What are you doing! Don't hurry up and open the curtains! ”

Gu Shi scolded angrily, and the little maid behind him hurriedly opened the door curtain.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu's was even more angry--

Behind the fragrant blue and white incense burner, there is a small couch carved by Tan Yun with gold silk and wood carving.

Zeng and Xie Wanqing in the third room sat on one side, with a smile on their faces that they would have time to accept it in the future, and on the small table were placed more than half of the sugar-steamed cheese, and the milky aroma of the cheese still echoed in the warm inner room.

Where is this half a point not suitable for sedentary appearance?

After not seeing him for a few days, Zeng's face was much better.

Since Tao Jiang moved back to Ruiyun Temple, he has cleared his eyeliner arranged in the long room like crazy.

Those are all nails that he has buried since he got married, and on them, Gu Xiaomei can't count how much money he has spent.

The most pity is Mrs. Zhang in the stove room, the mother-in-law is ruthless and only has silver in her eyes, and she just promised her a monthly reward of 50 taels, so this old man happily added some medicinal materials to Zeng's decoction.

If you drink it occasionally, it's not a big problem.

But Zeng's is a medicine jar, drinking medicine every day is like eating, and over time, this soup with ingredients can kill her.

If there is another half a year, Zeng will be able to go to Huangquan to see her unjustly deceased husband without realizing it!

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaomei's heart was unwilling.

This mother-in-law is really useless, she somehow leaked and was expelled by Steward Chen a few days ago.

She was worried that this old man was not honest, so she ordered someone to throw her into the well on the way back to her hometown.

In this way, what he has done to Changfang is like a deep pool at the bottom of this well, and it can't set off a ripple.

Gu Xiaomei's eyes wandered, and then fell on Xie Wanqing, who was sitting on the other side of the small couch.

The Xie family in these three rooms is the most high, relying on his father to be a Confucian, so he never takes them as merchant girls in his eyes.

It's just that after a long time, Gu Xiaomei found that the merchant girl that Xie didn't care about was just her.

This Xie Shi doesn't know what crazy his head is, he likes to mix with the sick man of Changfang, and he has made a lot of stumbling blocks for himself in the past few years.

"The second sister-in-law came in so suddenly, is she going to keep looking at us like this?"

Xie picked up the teacup and hid his cold smile behind the white porcelain.

Gu Xiaomei reacted at this time, but saw that she had been standing in the inner room for a long time, and no one invited her to sit down to watch tea, so she couldn't help but be very embarrassed, so she could only find a small pestle and sit down.

"Jiang'er, I'm looking for you to be in the middle of the business."

After speaking, he paused deliberately, and specially glanced at Zeng's and said:

"Look at this IOU of 3,000 taels, it was borrowed by the third king of Chengdong. The IOU was lent to Wang San by your father, and it has been two years now. ”

Sure enough, Zeng's face turned white.

Seeing Zeng's face change, Gu Xiaomei's heart finally cooled down a little - why don't I think about tea and rice, you are smiling and smiling here, and you still eat a bowl of sugar steamed cheese?

Xie shook Zeng's hand, Zeng eased up a bit, and saw Tao Jiang frowning and staring at the IOU in his hand, and couldn't help but clench the silk handkerchief in his sleeve.

Tao Jiang carefully looked at the IOU several times, and confirmed that it was signed by his father, Gu Xiaomei's heart was about to ripple with satisfaction, but he saw Tao Jiang's brows stretching little by little:

"Second aunt, if I'm not mistaken, this IOU was guaranteed by you, right?"

Gu Xiaomei was stunned for a moment.

Two years ago, it was indeed her as the middleman who guaranteed Wang San, and Tao Changqing lent the money.

But now that it has been two years, there are many accounts in the Tao Mansion, and Tao Jiang's housekeeper is less than half a month, how can she remember that she made a guarantee for this arrears?

What she didn't know, Tao Jiang had a reputation for unforgettable divine eyes at school, and this small ledger was just a piece of cake for her.

Seeing Tao Jiang ask this question at this time, Gu Xiaomei couldn't hide it, so she had to smile reluctantly:

"I did guarantee it. But this Wang San is a well-known ruffian in the east of the city, and there are hundreds of thugs alone. Back then, our Tao family was going to open a money village in the east of the city, if we didn't lend money to Wang San, our shop wouldn't be able to open! ”

Tao Jiang's fingers rhythmically tapped on the table in front of her, looking at her deep and waveless eyes, Gu Xiaomei couldn't help but panic for a while--

When did this Tao Jiang become so calm and self-controlled?

No matter how you look at it, you can't see what she's thinking or what she's going to do.

"Second aunt, according to what you say, we gave Wang San this money in order to open a store, so is this a loan or a protection fee?"

When Gu Xiaomei heard this, she was a little anxious:

"Borrowing, of course! It's got your father's signature on it! ”

Tao Jiang knew that Gu Xiaomei deliberately mentioned his father, and every time he mentioned it, he sprinkled a thick salt on his mother's wound, and couldn't help but cool his face, and his tone did not have a trace of warmth:

"Second aunt, I respect you as an elder, so I sit here with you to discuss things. If my mother had been mentioned over and over in front of my mother, I would have her expelled! ”

After speaking, her eyes seemed to have a hook, and she wanted to dig a piece of meat from Gu Xiaomei's body, which frightened her suddenly.

After a pause, Tao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief again, pointed to the IOU and said:

"Second aunt, rest assured, we won't be in a bad house for this account, and it shouldn't be less than a penny in the public middle school, and I will definitely come back!"

Gu Xiaomei stroked his heart without a trace, and when he heard Tao Jiang say that he wanted to pay back the money, he immediately chased after him and asked:

"Jiang'er, since you said that you have a way to repay this debt, and now that it is coming to the end of the year, when are you going to come back?"

"What does the second aunt mean?" The fingertips of the ginger and shallots gently brushed the lines of the Liuxia flower pot.

"If you want me to say that Jiang Er, you are so capable, and you are the general businessman of our Xiangxi County, ten days is always enough for such a small amount of arrears!"

Gu Xiaomei couldn't help but be proud in her heart, she had a good relationship with that ploppy Wang San, as long as she could only make a sound, this Wang San had all kinds of means not to pay back.

Tao Jiang raised his eyebrows, and the smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth was like the last quarter moon after the clouds were hidden outside the window:

"It's been more than ten days! Tomorrow, I will ask Wang San to obediently give the money! ”
