Xie Fu made a special sound, but Tantai Heqing was so busy that he didn't even have time to raise his head and take a look, and said: "Xia'er, warm up the sour plum soup prepared by Xianting for me and bring it to me."
Tantai Heqing saw that Xia'er hadn't responded for a long time, so she looked up, and suddenly her husband was right in front of her. After being surprised, she said in surprise: "Why are you back suddenly?"
Xie Fu, however, remained sullen and silent, intending to teach this good wife a lesson.
Tantai Heqing saw that Xie Fu's face looked wrong, so he didn't think much about it and asked with concern: "What happened?"
The person stood up, but with a pained expression, he let out a sigh and sat down again.
Xie Fu immediately approached her, gently supported her, and asked in a soft voice, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired..."
As Tantai Heqing spoke, he became concerned about Xie Fulai: "You look so sad, has something happened?"
"Something happened!"
Tantai Heqing's heart trembled, but she calmly asked: "Is it serious?"
"serious!"
"What's serious?"
"My wife is already in the third month of pregnancy and is about to give birth, but she doesn't care about her body at all."
Tantai He smiled affectionately: "I was scared to death. I thought it was nothing serious."
Xie Fu Surong said: "In my eyes, this is a big deal." He raised his hand and swept the account books on the table, all of them falling to the floor.
Tantai Heqing exclaimed: "You are going to die!"
Xie Fu said with a serious expression: "From today on, you are only allowed to lie down and sit, and you are not allowed to do such chores anymore."
"This is no chore!"
"I don't care if it's a chore or not, it's just not allowed!"
Tantai Heqing said aggressively: "Are you going to rebel?"
Xie Fu grabbed her arm: "You want to rebel? Don't forget that I am your husband, not your slave. Don't use the same method you use to deal with slaves to deal with me!"
Tantai Heqing's eyes turned red: "This is a wolf-hearted thing."
"Be honest and obedient, otherwise I will be more ruthless than you think."
As he spoke, he gently picked up Tantai Heqing, walked to the bed and lay down on his back: "Recuperate honestly until after childbirth."
Tantai Heqing could still feel that Fu Xie cared about her. She looked gently at the account books scattered on the ground and hesitated to speak.
Xie Fu was angry: "You still dare to think about those things."
Tantai Heqing said aggrievedly: "Why are you so fierce? People are so happy to see you back, but you look like this on your face. It's better for you not to come back, and I won't worry about it."
Xie Fu also knew that Tantai He was soft-spoken and not tough, so he just showed his face to show her the majesty of her husband. He softened his expression and said: "You don't know what kind of body you have. If you don't look at how big your belly is,
There are only a few days left, so I can't bear it. If something goes wrong, it won't be worth the loss."
"It's not just for you."
"You don't need to interfere in my affairs."
Although Xie Fu said cold words, he massaged her with his hands as before. He Qing had been suffering from severe morning sickness, and she would feel much better after the massage.
Tantai Heqing said aggrievedly: "What you said is easy. If you leave a mess and leave without asking, I have to help you clean up the mess."
Xie Fu was confused: "What kind of mess?"
"Master Lu has already told me, aren't you, the Jiedushi Envoy, planning to develop weapons and war horses to feed all the armies in Huainan Road and Jiangnan East Road?"
"Well, that's why I borrowed money from a rich woman like you."
Tantai Heqing sneered; "You think too highly of me. If I have such great ability, I am no longer an ordinary cloth merchant."
"Why, don't you have enough money?"
"I'm willing to go bankrupt, but it's still not enough."
Tantai Heqing sneered: "You don't care about your family and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Let me show you something."
Then he stood up and took out a letter from the box: "This is a letter from Huo Duan to you."
After Xie Fu read it, he was surprised and asked: "You peeked at my letter."
"What secrets do you have that you can't let me know?"
Tantai Heqing said and took out a thick book: "This is the purchase catalog sent by Huo Duan."
It was a thick book, and Xie Fu couldn't read it in detail for a while. He flipped through some key figures, but the more he read, the more frightened he became.
Tantai Heqing said calmly: "At the level of one million or two, even if I lose everything, I still can't plug this big hole like yours."
Xie Fu said: "You don't have to worry too much. I have reached an agreement with the Holy Emperor. I will arrange and distribute the taxes of Jiangnan Province myself and do not need to hand them over to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Tantai Heqing was slightly surprised, but stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the silver? Where is the silver?"
Xie Fu said: "I have temporarily put part of it in the state treasury, and the rest will have to wait until the tax comes in tomorrow."
Tantai Heqing sneered: "Then water from far away can't save the fire close by. Huo Duan wants money now, can you afford it?"
Xie Fu said calmly: "Then Huo Duan will pay in advance."
"My Lord Xie, at the level of one million or two, you are really open-minded. How can you ask others to do things for you?"
"What should we do?"
Tantai Heqing sneered: "What should I do? The great Mr. Xie can only take back the Haikou you boasted about."
"How can that be done? I am the Governor of Jiedushi. Now that I have spoken out, if I do not keep my word, whoever obeys me in the future will probably regard my words as farts."
Tantai Heqing was cold and silent, and Xie Fu smiled apologetically: "Heqing, you are not good at these things, you, a business wizard, give me some ideas."
Tantai Heqing glared at him and said sarcastically: "Are you willing to beg me?"
"Don't say it so harshly, what are you asking for between husband and wife?"
Xie Fu said, holding her on his lap and coaxing her.
Tantai Heqing also gave up when things got better: "There is no way."
"Okay, you say."
"But you swept them all away."
Xie Fu was confused: "What do you mean?"
Tantai Heqing's fingers were swept off the ground by Xie Fu, and the account books were scattered in a mess.
Xie Fu asked: "Those account books."
Tantai Heqing nodded and was about to get off Xie Fu, but Xie Fu was unwilling to let her go. He asked her to sit down on the edge of the bed, picked up the account book on the ground and brought it to Tantai Heqing: "This
yes?"
"Open it and take a look."
Xie Fu flipped through it casually and saw some names and amounts of money recorded in the account book, and asked: "Is this money owed to you by others?"
Tantai Heqing said angrily: "This is the money I owe others."
Thank you Fu: "So you are still in debt!"
Tantai Heqing glared at Xie Fu: "I just borrowed it."
Xie Fu blurted out and asked: "Why did you borrow so much money?" What he had just seen were large sums of money, ranging from hundreds to thousands to even tens of thousands of taels.
Being able to lend out tens of thousands of taels is really not an ordinary wealthy businessman. You must know that as the general grain merchant of Jiangnan Dongdao, the silver that he can spare is only tens of thousands of taels.
Tantai Heqing looked at Xie Fu as if he were looking at a fool, and Xie Fu said, "I understand, borrowing so much money to buy weapons and horses."
He said with a smile: "He Qing, you are really capable of borrowing so much money. The money issue will be solved."
"You have the ability. If you weren't the governor of Huainan Road, who would be so confident in lending me money?"
