Chapter 676 Depression (Part 2) 676
It can be paid back slowly. But when he opened the mansion, he borrowed 600,000 taels of ruthless man from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has not paid back yet. Xu Lingyi smiled and said, "He Chengbi was in Fujian and the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to strengthen defense in southern Fujian. Last year, the Yellow River broke its mouth, and this year the Xijiang River was drought severely. The emperor used more money. He could not repay his previous accounts, but at this moment, how could he borrow money?
Eleventh Lady couldn't help but laugh: Should Prince Yong borrow it openly or secretly
He borrowed openly and called the emperor poor. He borrowed secretly. Xu Lingyi took out so much money in one breath, but I wonder if the emperor would doubt the financial situation of the Xu family.
Of course, I borrowed it openly. Xu Lingyi smiled and said, "I took out 200,000 taels, borrowed 200,000 taels from Yinlou, and then borrowed 100,000 taels from relatives and friends, so I couldn't borrow much."
Eleventh Lady felt that it was a bit inappropriate: You paid off the debt to Prince Yong like this. Will the emperor be slandering you please donate some more?
Donate if you donate. Xu Lingyi laughed and said, "At worst, I will sell all the shops in Yanjing, Daxing, Tianzhuang, by then."
It’s not that Eleventh Niang said in a daze that Yanjing’s shop was sold on the East and West Streets, and even if you have money, you can’t buy it back.
I'm still afraid that he won't let me sell it. Xu Lingyi doesn't care. If the old ones don't go, the new ones don't come. Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses.
The two of them were talking here, and Mrs. Jiang had arrived at Xu Sijie's study.
What's wrong with my husband? She sat next to Chuáng and tried Xu Sizhun's forehead with her hands on her back. What's wrong with you?
I'm fine. Xu Sizun didn't expect that Jiang would come in person and sat up embarrassedly. He hadn't seen his fifth brother for a long time. He came over to talk to his fifth brother, but he fell asleep. As he spoke, he laughed twice.
My husband has been helping his father-in-law with all his affairs these days, and I think he is tired. Mrs. Jiang smiled and called Baozhu to make a pot of ginseng tea for the Fourth Master.
No need, Xu Sizun said hurriedly, it’s up to my fifth brother
Yes. Jiang smiled and said, "My husband, let's go back."
Xu Sizun couldn't continue to stay here, so he returned to Tanbozhai with Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang went to make ginseng tea in person, and sat aside with a smile watching him drink tea.
My husband, it will be the ninth day of the ninth month in a few days. How did your family spend this time in previous years?
Seeing that there was something in her words, Xu Sizun said: Do you have any ideas? His eyes fell on her abdomen.
I am naturally going to stay at home. Otherwise, I would be a sin to make my grandmother and mother worry. Jiang was angry. I thought that if there were no special habits in the mansion, we might as well be the host, invite my grandmother and mother, as well as my uncle and sister-in-law from Aunt Wu Sixiang Hutong and the others to come to Tanbozhai to enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs. What do you think
Xu Sizun was a little hesitant.
He just was scolded by his father, so he held a big banquet, without any reflection. When his father knew about it, he was afraid he would get even more angry.
Mrs. Jiang saw it in her heart.
But she also has her intentions.
My husband thought it was not good, Jiang smiled and said, "It is best to invite elders on Double Ninth Festival." I heard from my sister-in-law that my uncle will go out to collect the bills after Double Ninth Festival. We happened to take this opportunity to get together. Otherwise, we would have to wait for the New Year."
Xu Sizun was very surprised to collect the bill. Xu Siqin helped Fang look at the dowry. Although his son did not promote it everywhere, there was no airtight wall in the world. Xu Sizun also heard a little, but he didn't expect Xu Siqin to collect the bill.
Jiang nodded and said with emotion: I used to think that my uncle was cheerful, but I never thought that my uncle was still a down-to-earth person. If someone else had changed to someone else, he would have paid a deposit and assigned a trusted manager to leave. He said, "I heard my sister-in-law's tone, the reason why my uncle wanted to collect the deposit was mainly to take advantage of this opportunity to do some selling, buying and subsidies for the family income."
No, Xu Sizun was a little unbelievable. The third uncle should have a lot of money in his hands.
It’s a waste of time to sit and eat. Jiang’s third uncle has been separated for so many years and has no serious jobs. He can’t help but use one less, so he’s still more important. But his third uncle came from the Marquis of Yongping’s Mansion. The social engagements all year round and the family’s favors are a lot of expenses. The sister-in-law often takes money to help the emergency. The uncle doesn’t want to use his sister-in-law’s dowry and prepares to do some small business. The sister-in-law advises the uncle, and there are tricks to do business. It’s better to help the sister-in-law manage the dowry account first, walk around and take a look, and then open a shop when she has a look at the business.
It's not too late. When the uncle heard it made sense, he started to help his sister-in-law manage the account factory. Sometimes the accounts were unclear, so he had to go to the farm to check it out. When he encountered a business dealer on the road, he naturally had to talk a few times. After a while, he did a few transactions while collecting the accounts, and all made money. Gradually, he also had a trick. I heard that he was going to pay for the expenses on East Street or West Street in Yanjing in two years and said, "I heard from my sister-in-law that my third uncle had the final say in what was going on at home. Now my uncle has taken on the responsibility of supporting his family. If my third uncle has any matter, he has to discuss what he has to do.
Xu Sizhun's eyes lit up as she listened.
Jiang saw it and was happy in his heart. He simply talked about Jin.
My husband doesn't know that my third uncle is an empty shell
Xu Sizun was shocked: Who did you hear?
The third sister-in-law said it himself. Jiang smiled and said that the third brother's Dai Lu was not enough to buy rice for two days. But the third brother's colleagues were richer than the other. The third brother could not walk alone, but if he followed the crowd, the third brother was just a small flag bearer when he was in the Imperial Guard, and he couldn't get any oil and water. Well, if he changed the place, even if his father-in-law or the fourth uncle came forward to help, he would have to deal with the things he should do, otherwise, others would think you were stingy and would never deal with you again. If there was any good thing, he would not take care of you.
Uncle San simply didn't look for anyone and found a way to make friends with Shangfeng. He made a lot of money during the Chinese New Year. For this matter, Sister San sold all the house where she was dowed.
How could I sell the dowry house? Xu Sizun said in surprise, could the third uncle and elder brother just let them do whatever they want?
I also asked my third sister-in-law this way. Jiang said, "The third sister-in-law said that the chai is too much, but it is better to have more days. My uncle and sister-in-law saw that their life was difficult and they were protecting them everywhere. They would go out to buy boxes of huā powder and also double portions. How could they ask my sister-in-law for money? They went back to discuss the people in their parents' home. Lord Jin heard that it agreed without saying a word. He also said that there was a big and small emergency. The third uncle's top priority was to find a way to put it in the Five City Military and Masjids to be the head of one side. If the house is gone, it would be bought again, but if the opportunity is gone, even if you have money, you can't buy it.
Speaking of this, Jiang glanced at Xu Sizun deeply: It can be seen that if you do serious things, no matter whether it is selling land or land, no elders in your family will not support it.
Is it true that his wife's words shocked him, and he seemed a little absent-minded with his ginseng tea.
Why isn't it? Jiang smiled and said, "Look at the fifth brother. Because he wanted to go to the official career, there was already a teacher in the house. His father-in-law also specially asked his uncle to introduce Mr. Chang. Looking at the sixth brother, he wanted to learn boxing and kicking skills. The eldest son-in-law didn't tell him about his master everywhere, but he also went to Yanjing in person. It was the seventh brother, and the old marquis Sun sent two masters over. Think about it, it took me less effort. But whether it was my father-in-law or the old marquis Sun, no one felt that it was because it was related to the future of the fifth and sixth brothers. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between priorities and priorities.
