Chapter 23: The Price of Clearing

Liu Xiaojing looked at Aunt Liu innocently: "Then what should we do now?" Do you want to promise him? The silver ......."

Aunt Liu looked at Liu Xiaojing, who was looking at her with blank eyes, and felt a burst of chagrin in her heart.

Why doesn't her maiden family have someone to rely on and support the court? What do you have to worry about as a married girl?

Yu's family is just a capable mother, even if she is inferior to her everywhere, she can still suppress her, she is not convinced.

Aunt Liu was disheartened for a while: "Promise them first." The most important thing now is the old lady's disaster relief, so calm things down first. Can't let things expand any more! ”

What's more, she does have more important things to plan, but she can't lose a big one because of a small one.

Liu Xiaojing looked at her again and again: "Then this silver ......"

Most of the money from the last grain sale went into Aunt Liu's pocket, and she only left a small part of the Liu family.

The small amount made Liu Xiaojing feel that his sister was stingy, but he didn't dare to refuse her.

The silver that has already entered the pocket has to be taken out, and Aunt Liu's heart is dripping blood.

She didn't want to be so cheap, but she couldn't help it, she wanted silver everywhere in the Gaomen compound. Although she is in charge of the feed, because she is a concubine, if she wants money, she has to report to Uncle Cheng.

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and said, "I'll return the silver to you." ”

Liu Xiaojing glanced at her and couldn't help but say, "But the money in the family is not enough......"

Aunt Liu suddenly glared at him, and Liu Xiaojing said stubbornly: "It's almost the end of the year, and there are many places to use silver." Also, a good inkstone was added to Zhi'er. After a pause, he couldn't help but say: "Zhi'er is smart, it is the hope of our Liu family, and he can't be shortened ...... usefulness."

Under Aunt Liu's gaze, he finally couldn't say any more.

Aunt Liu's face turned pale with anger, no matter how smart she was, she could make waves in the backyard of the Qin family, but in the face of her brother, she was only powerless.

Aunt Liu had no choice but to agree to help Liu Xiaojing's share.

But the embarrassing thing is that Aunt Liu doesn't have so much cash in her hands now.

"You go back and wait for news first, and I'll have someone send you the silver." Aunt Liu said with a straight face.

As soon as Liu Xiaojing left, Jingwen went to tell Qin Churan in a hurry.

Jingwen said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Uncle Liu's expression was solemn when he left, and their Liu family has always boasted of being a scholarly family and looked down on businessmen. It was so funny that I was surrounded by businessmen. ”

Jingwen talked for a long time, but Qin Churan didn't react.

Qin Churan was thoughtful, and Jingwen said proudly: "Miss is really clever, such a hand, look at how Aunt Liu will be high in the future, and look down on people!" ”

Aunt Liu has always been proud of being a girl from a scholar's family, and she always uses this to look down on Yu's vulgarity.

Qin Churan frowned lightly and did not speak, because she knew that Shi Feng was not the person she arranged. But I have to say that Shi Feng's appearance made the situation more favorable to her.

The letter she wrote to Mrs. Yu was to ask her for help, and detained Shi Feng's goods on the pretext of investigating military rations, so that the food that Shi Feng bought could not leave the city.

It's just that she didn't expect that Shi Feng, a businessman, would dare to go to Liu's house to ask for an explanation.

Qin Churan finally thought that it should be the hands of the Yu family.

Qin Churan wrote another letter to Old Madam Yu, thanking her for helping, and asked about Shi Feng vaguely by the way.

Fang Gui immediately sent a letter to the General's Mansion, and two days later, Yu Mansion replied to the letter.

Shi Feng was not the one arranged by the old lady.

Who could it be? Qin Churan's fingers tapped the desktop.

Qin Chulan? Qin Churan thought of her and subconsciously denied his guess.

There was no evidence, but she didn't think it was her.

Qin Churan thought for a while, but she didn't have a clue, so she simply didn't want to, she put the letter aside.

Jingwen walked in with her eyebrows fluttering at this time, bringing a chill all over her body.

Qin Churan said, "What's wrong with you? So happy? ”

"Haha, miss, you don't know, yesterday Aunt Liu asked Chuncao to quietly go out with jewelry, but it was such a coincidence that she was accidentally bumped into by Fang Gui, and she went to the pawnshop." Jingwen's face was full of schadenfreude: "What about carrying people, but hasn't it been seen yet?" It's really relieving. When the slave heard that Shi Feng opened his mouth wide and asked for a large sum of silver. The Liu family's silver was not enough, so Aunt Liu had no choice but to start selling her jewelry. ”

"The eldest master of the Liu family got the silver, but he didn't want to give it to Shi Feng, and Shi Feng ran to the gate of the Liu family to make a fuss again. In the end, it was Aunt Liu who heard the news and sent someone to Liu's house to spread the word, and Master Liu gave the silver to Shi Feng. But in this way, the Liu family made another joke. The slave and maid have lived so big, and it is the first time that they have seen such a demand for money and not a reputation. Jingwen smiled all over her face: "Aunt Liu was furious in the yard today, and I heard that there were several little girls." ”

Qin Churan was stunned, she didn't expect Liu Xiaojing to do such a thing to ask for silver.

That Shi Feng is also a talent.

Shi Feng dared to go to the Liu family to ask for silver, but he dared to blackmail the Liu family for a sum of money? This seems to be deliberately disgusting the Liu family, as far as she knows, the Liu family's silver has not been very good.

The person who instructed Shi Feng must know the situation of the Liu family very well.

"Miss?" Jingwen saw Qin Churan in a daze, and thought that she was stunned with joy.

Qin Churan came back to his senses, glanced at her, and said lightly: "What was accidentally bumped into by Fang Gui?" You made Fang Gui stare at Fanghua Garden, right? ”

The expression on Jingwen's face was a little empty, and she touched her nose.

"Miss......" she smiled at Qin Churan flatteringly.

Qin Churan's brows frowned slightly, Aunt Liu had actually reached the point of selling her jewelry, why was she so jealous of this Shi Feng?

With Aunt Liu's love of money and life, she shouldn't have given this money so easily. Why is it so painful this time?

Qin Churan frowned, she suddenly remembered her marriage.
