"Brother Nangong, you should always understand the truth that speaking inclearly is like killing people with a blunt knife. You always talk halfway, and we really can't stand it. You just told me, who should I borrow money from?" Xiao Lie said to Nangong Junzhe.

Nangong Junzhe didn't answer, just watched him take out the silver tickets from all corners of the study. Returning to his seat, he put the silver tickets on the table, and said, "That's all I have, you can use it first, the person I just talked about is actually your sister-in-law." She is in charge of my family's accounts, don't you know me, every copper plate spent has to be reported to her for approval, I can save these, even if I am smart. She has never been able to discover these hidden places, and if you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have been able to get them out. ”

As Nangong Junzhe spoke, he poked his head out of the window again, looking at the movement in the courtyard, which was still calm and natural. Retracting his head, he continued to say to the two of them, "Wait a minute, I'll take you two to her." Just tell her about it, and I'm sure she'll not dismiss your face. After all, your sister-in-law is not a stingy person, and from the overall situation, she is still very sensible. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go now, you poor bastard, what else do I have to talk to you. Xiao Lie said as he carried Nangong Junzhe's private money into his arms.

Nangong Junzhe pointed at Xiao Lie and said to Yin Xuesong: "Look at this little bastard, is this considered a cheap bargain, isn't it a bit too much like a ruffian." How do you usually put up with this bastard thing?"

Yin Xuesong shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Isn't he usually this virtue, I have long been surprised, if he gets serious one day, I am really a little unaccustomed to it." It's good now, and if he gets serious, things won't be easy to do at that time. ”

"Look at it, Senior Brother Yin is a kind person, much better than you. It's so sad for me, it's been in vain for so long, and I don't have any feelings at all. As he spoke, Xiao Lie pushed Yin Xuesong and Nangong Junzhe out of the study and walked towards Jiang Xiaoyu's room.

Nangong Junzhe pushed open the door, it turned out that Jiang Xiaoyu was not the only one here, Qiu Feixu was also here. Xiao Lie and Yin Xuesong saluted Jiang Xiaoyu: "Sister-in-law!" and sat on the side. A few people began to chat, during which Xiao Lie found a lot of topics but could not be connected with the matter of borrowing money, Xiao Lie had no choice but to grit his teeth and go straight to the point and said to Jiang Xiaoyu: "Sister-in-law, Senior Brother Yin and I are here this time because I want to ask you." ”

Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said reluctantly: "What are you going to do, we haven't finished the dry food for this march, and you are going to assign us tasks again? As soon as Sister Fei and Sister Fei Su sat down to rest for a while, you came, I don't see that Sister Fei Su said anything at all, you are here to be the overseer. Then Qiu Feixu glared at Xiao Lie with his eyes.

Xiao Lie immediately panicked, waved his hand again and again and explained: "No, no, no, you two must not misunderstand, Senior Brother Yin and I came here this time, definitely not to see how things are prepared." ”

"It's not for this, then what are you doing here? Could it be that you Xiao Lie wants to ......"

"No, Mrs. Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I shouldn't have talked to you in a roundabout way, it's my brother who is not sensible, and my brother will definitely change it in the future." Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoyu to finish speaking, Xiao Lie stopped the voice and said hurriedly.

"If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go. We're going to go back to the kitchen to work, and we don't have that time to go back to the kitchen with you stinky men. Jiang Xiaoyu pretended to reprimand Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie walked down the aisle with a smile on his face, Jiang Xiaoyu was in front of him, and he said like a minion: "Sister-in-law, isn't this going to war, all the military supplies are in full swing preparations." But all these military supplies have to be bought and done with silver. As you know, our Duwei Mansion is a small yamen, and the usual expenses are relatively tight, once something like this happens, then our government will be a little unable to deal with it. ”

"Isn't the gold and silver used in this war all allocated by the imperial court, and you don't have to pay for it yourself, what can't you deal with?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

Xiao Lie replied very embarrassedly: "The imperial court does allocate a lot of subsidies every quarter, and the amount is enough to deal with various emergencies. But isn't the situation in our place a little different, and every time the pension paid to the deceased brother is higher than normal. After all, most of them are from poor people, and they all have a large family to support, so it is inevitable to give more pensions. So......" said this, Xiao Lie didn't continue to speak, but raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xiaoyu.

Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and asked, "So what?"

As soon as Xiao Lie heard Jiang Xiaoyu's tone, he knew that there was a door to this matter, and he maintained the state of being a slave, and continued: "So, we came here this time to borrow money. It doesn't take much, three thousand taels of snowflake silver is enough. ”

"Three thousand taels? What are you doing when we are the Jinyi Guard's Mansion, the money bank? Or do you treat us as the treasury? This mouth is three thousand taels, do you know what three thousand taels means? These three thousand taels are the expenses of all our Jinyi Guards for a year, and this also includes the salaries of the people in the mansion. Your eldest brother Nangong's monthly monthly salary is the same as yours, and he is also helping those poor brothers in the family, how can there be extra silver to lend you. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry yet. Xiao Lie saw that Jiang Xiaoyu's face was not good-looking, and the tone of his voice suddenly became serious, and immediately said soothingly: "Didn't I also come to you to find a way." Seeing that the army is about to be overwhelmed, if there is not enough money to support them, I am afraid that these brothers will panic. If this person is flustered, he can't do anything well, and it is a trivial matter for us to endure hardships, and the people in this city can't follow a few of us to suffer. As officials who protect the water and soil, we should consider the safety and interests of the people everywhere. These three thousand taels are indeed not a small amount, and it is okay not to borrow three thousand, so you can lend us as much as you can borrow first. This is really difficult, brother, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to open my mouth with a cheeky face. Sister-in-law, you can help my brother think of a way. ”

Seeing Xiao Lie behaving like this in such an embarrassing situation, Jiang Xiaoyu really couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, patted his thigh and laughed: "Xiao Lie, Xiao Lie, I didn't expect you to have today." How can I be so happy to see you like this? Okay, you don't have to say anything nice to me. The situation of your Duwei Mansion, Sister Fei Su told me. Fortunately, she is careful and always pays attention to the flow of funds, and she told me from the beginning of preparing for the march that there is not much money in the treasury in the Duwei Mansion, and I am afraid that it will not last long, so she will borrow money everywhere to live. But what I didn't expect was that you would be completely out of money so soon. I've got you guys ready, and I'm just teasing you to see what you can be forced to be. I regret it, if only I could endure it a little longer, then I could still see you grovel. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaoyu took out a stack of silver tickets from the cabinet and put them on the table in front of Xiao Lie: "I definitely don't have three thousand taels, if I give them all to you, I will have to drink the northwest wind like you." Here are two thousand three hundred taels, save a little flowers, and you will definitely be able to survive the days when the imperial court approves. ”

Xiao Lie was so excited that he almost knelt down for Jiang Xiaoyu, not only him, but even Yin Xuesong and Nangong Junzhe were surprised. Jiang Xiaoyu's approach greatly surprised everyone, Xiao Lie trembled his hands, picked up the silver ticket and rubbed it in his hand, touched and touched: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is so deeply aware of righteousness, my brother is very admirable." This is no ordinary amount of silver, but in my hands are the lives of thousands of brothers. With all this money in hand, I have the confidence. Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as the threshold is passed, I will definitely pay back the money. ”

Jiang Xiaoyu waved his hand, and said to Xiao Lie with a slight disgust in his smile: "Pull it down, don't fix these vain heads, since I can prepare it for you in advance, I don't plan to let you pay it back." Let's not talk about the relationship between a few of us in private, just talk about the closeness of the Duwei Mansion and the Jinyi Wei Mansion, and we can't watch you worry about making trouble for this money. What's more, the people in this city are very innocent, and they must not be implicated in any way because of our small mistakes. ”

"Madame's feat is really impressive, it is worthy of being my Nangong Junzhe's wife, that is, she is much stronger than that ordinary woman. Nangong Junzhe stood up from the chair, walked to Jiang Xiaoyu's side, and praised: "My wife can definitely be regarded as the leader of the heroes among the women, no matter from which point of view, she can say the four words of glamorous and overwhelming." ”

"Come on, you two don't brag about it, I don't know about you yet. It must have been discussed a long time ago before they came to me. You can prepare whatever you should prepare, Sister Fei and I are going to work, so you don't get in the way here. Jiang Xiaoyu pulled Qiu Feixu out of the room, and the people in the room looked at her back and were in awe.

In the three days that followed, these men were very busy, not only stepping up the training of soldiers, but also strengthening the defense of the outposts around the city, and adding many secret posts to the perimeter of the city.

And Xing Hao is the most tired of these people, not only responsible for training soldiers, but also responsible for driving the earth spirit bead back and forth to report the news in various cities. It was only on the morning of the fifth day that Xing Hao could be regarded as having a moment of peace. Sitting alone in the gazebo of the Duwei Mansion, watching the birds chirping in the trees in a daze.

Suddenly, outside the courtyard, a crisp shout came in: "Good and bad, all depend on one mouth." Glory and wealth are at the flick of a finger. Life and death diseases, rewrite the fate of life and death. Measure the words, look at the palmistry, look at the face, batch the eight characters, look at the feng shui, and the body of the half-immortal is born into the world!
