Chapter 11: Cushioning

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Song Anning waved his hand, and it took a long time to stabilize his mind, and said: "Don't tell anyone about that person, we will take care of food and clothes in the future, and try not to let people from outside come in, you know?" ”

Holly nodded ignorantly, "Got it." ”

After explaining, Song Anning let Holly out.

At the same time, the other side.

The Qin family came to the mansion and saw Jiang Rongsheng.

Although Jiang Rongsheng is only a five-grade official, as the governor of Jizhou, he has a lot of say in the territory of Jizhou.

After meeting, the Qin family told Qingfeng Village about coming to collect debts.

Jiang Rongsheng was a little surprised.

"How is this possible? When Hua'er entered Beijing, it was arranged by me, and I never faked it to others, how could they get the news? ”

Qin was anxious.

"I don't know, maybe they're bandits, there are other channels? In short, now Su Zi'an is taking this raft and asking us to give him 50,000 taels of gold, which is 50,000 taels of gold! Where do we find so much money? ”

Jiang Rongsheng's face was calm.

He has a wider vision than the Qin family, and naturally knows how to be lighter.

Fifty thousand taels of gold is indeed a lot, but this morning he received a letter from Beijing, saying that Jiang Hua has been favored by the prime minister and is about to marry Li Shuying, the daughter of the prime minister.

If this marriage is really successful, with the prime minister as a backer, not only will Hua'er be the son of the family, but even his official position can be further raised.

In a few breaths, Jiang Rongsheng made a decision.

"Promise him."

"What?" Qin Shi was shocked, "Master, are you crazy?" ”

Jiang Rongsheng said: "Although there is a lot of money, but we can sell the two-bedroom and three-room property, we can also get together, now the most important thing is Hua'er's marriage, the reason why the current emperor can ascend the throne is all supported by Prime Minister Li Yun, he is His Majesty's confidant, and in recent years, His Majesty has been more and more reused." ”

"If Hua'er can marry his daughter, not to mention 50,000 taels of gold in the future, even 100,000 taels, 200,000 taels, and 300,000 taels, don't spoil the real big thing in the eyes of a woman."

Qin's mouth was bitter.

"But...... To take money from the second and third rooms, can they agree? ”

"Naturally, I can't talk about this matter, so after you go back, you go to the nunnery and find the old lady......"

At noon that day, Qin returned.

I didn't even have time to eat, so I rushed directly to the backyard nunnery to find Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang is old, and in recent years, she has eaten fasting and recited Buddha, and she even lives in the nunnery.

Although the children and grandchildren greet her every morning and evening, they can't see her most of the time, just standing outside for a stop, it is considered filial piety, at this time, seeing the Qin family hurriedly coming, the old lady's torture mother was suddenly surprised.

"Big lady, but what's the urgency?"

Qin smiled reluctantly, "Lao bother to help me inform my mother, I have something to discuss with her." ”

Mama Xing nodded, went in to inform the old lady, and soon, she came out.

"The eldest lady goes in, the old lady has just had lunch and is about to rest."

"Huh."

Qin stepped through the threshold and went in, and when he arrived at the inner room, he saw the old lady sitting on the bed, she took off her coat, and seemed to be preparing for a lunch break. ”

The old lady waved her hand.

"If it weren't for something extremely important, you wouldn't have come here at this time, say, what's going on?"

Qin's eyes turned red, and tears poured out at once.

She told Jiang Hua about it.

The old man was slightly shocked.

"What do you say? Such an important matter, how can outsiders know about it, or bandits like Qingfeng Village! ”

The Qin family knew that they were at a loss, and they couldn't say anything, so they only said: "The daughter-in-law has never revealed it to outsiders, I don't know how they found out, the official said that the most important thing now is to cover Su Zi'an's mouth, but 50,000 taels of gold...... Where is the daughter-in-law going to raise it! ”

As he spoke, he hid his face and cried again.

The old lady twisted the Buddha beads, and she already knew her purpose in her heart.

"The second and third rooms still have a lot of business in their hands, let them hand them over, and then make up from the family, although 50,000 taels of gold is much, it may not be unequal, by the way, Song Anning's dowry ......"

"My daughter-in-law asked her last time, she was reluctant, and said that her mother's family would come over in a few days, I thought that if I moved her things at this time, I would not alarm the Song family, and it would be bad to let the Song family tear their faces with us at that time."

"That's right, but this debt is owed by Hua'er, Hua'er is her husband, she can't say anything, so let's tell her, our public will pay 30,000 taels, and the other 20,000 taels will come from her dowry, the Song family is a merchant, and there are many places that will rely on us in the future, and they will not be reluctant to give up this bit of silver."

The Qin family got the old lady's idea, and immediately smiled.

"Eh, daughter-in-law saves."

So, the Qin family turned around and found Song Anning.

"You also know about Qingfeng Village, now they are looking for us for 50,000 taels of gold, so much money, where can we get it at once? The old lady's meaning is that half of the public middle school will be released first, and the other half will be cushioned by you first, and then return it to you when the surplus on the Zhuangzi comes out. ”

Qin's words are very artistic.

Pad first, and it's not that you don't pay it back.

The mother-in-law asked her daughter-in-law to borrow money, and the daughter-in-law had to borrow it.

Song Anning smiled.

"Mother-in-law, it's not that I refuse to advance this money, but are you really sure that you want to pay off this debt for your husband? I know my husband, he is not a good gambler, and he has no habit of spending money on weekdays, so how can he owe so much money? ”

"I think that Su Zi'an is deliberately blackmailing, we are officials, they are bandits, as long as we enter this Jizhou City, are we still afraid that he will not succeed, why should they be oppressed?"

Qin froze and smiled reluctantly.

"That's not the case, he has an IOU in his hand, and there is a letter seal on it, if he really doesn't pay it back, then won't we be in debt?"

"Didn't the third aunt say it last time? The handwriting can be imitated, and the seal letter can also be privately minted, who knows if the IOU is true or false, in short, the husband is not there, there is no proof of death, and the daughter-in-law feels that the money cannot be given to him so unclearly. ”

Qin: "......"

A rush of fire surged through her heart.

This damn Song Anning, when did she become so disobedient!

She is an elder, she will give it when she says it, how can she be a daughter-in-law!

Qin's face was unhappy.

"So, you're not willing to pay the money?"

Song Anning smiled, "Mother-in-law, I'm afraid that you will be deceived." ”

"You!"

Qin's qi pole.

But there is nothing to do with her.

In the end, she just said unwillingly: "Lin Xian was injured because of you, her family's pension, you should always come out, right?" ”

Song Anning smiled slightly, "That's nature." ”
