"What? Has your Baoguo Palace also fallen into this state?"
Liu Rushi was shocked.
"Sister, you are still staying in the house, you don't know very well!"
Kou Baimen sighed and said: "There are people coming and going in the nunnery, and many female relatives come to pray. They all say that the money this time is used to finance the Northern Expedition."
"That's why I gave my husband a chance, called the Scroll of Atonement."
"Those thirty thousand taels are not too much for the Duke Baoguo, who has been hereditary for hundreds of years!"
Liu Rushi became more and more curious.
"Thirty thousand? Sister, that is Qian Shangshu's family fortune."
Kou Baimen smiled bitterly: "For example, the Duke's Mansion asked for one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is almost 70% to 80% of the family property. Now, whether the land price or other things, it has jumped sharply, and it is sold at a low price..."
"The lady in the family wanted to sell me to raise money, so I simply used my private money to raise a thousand taels to redeem myself."
"Redemption?"
Liu Rushi was shocked and immediately sighed: "Are you free?"
"Free!" Kou Baimen's eyes turned red.
The word "freedom" sounds beautiful, but in fact it means that one's wealth is slim, and without the protection of a big tree, one's future life is difficult to guarantee.
“What’s wrong with nationality?”
Bian Yujing shook his head, with a firm look on his face: "Now that His Majesty's new policy is in place, all lowly people will be civilians. We can be considered a good family. Who will dare to bully us casually in the future?"
Li Xiangjun on the side showed a wry smile.
She didn't know what to say about her friend, whether he was naive, straightforward, or stupid.
Liu Rushi sighed and was silent for a long time before saying, "I can't have this money."
"Although the Qian family is in dire straits, there are still three nails in the broken ship. You sisters will need them even more in the future."
No matter how lively Bian Yujing's character is, she can't help but feel a little lonely.
The girls whispered a few more words and then left quietly.
"The wealthy Qian family is extravagant and extravagant. In just a few years, they have fallen into this situation. It's time and fate."
Bian Yujing sighed.
"Why, when did you, Bian Yujing, feel sad for autumn?" Kou Baimen on the side regained some of his personality and couldn't help but tease.
"Yes, if Bian Yujing becomes depressed, then there will be no fun in the nunnery."
Li Xiangjun couldn't help but smile.
Immediately, she suddenly thought of something: "Hou Lang has no money in Nanjing, how can he pay the atonement roll?"
"What's wrong?"
Kou Baimen on the side noticed her and couldn't help but ask.
Li Xiangjun did not dare to neglect and directly expressed his happy thoughts.
"Not to mention thirty thousand taels, even if it is three thousand taels, we can't get it together!"
Bian Yujing shook his head and was amazed.
Li Xiangjun's face turned haggard for a moment. After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind.
Bian Yujing didn't know what she was thinking, so he immediately stopped her and said, "Sister, this won't work!"
"It's hard to get out of the quagmire. If you do this, your next life will be really ruined."
Kou Baimen, who was on the side, also suddenly realized, and stopped him urgently: "If you go in again, you won't be able to get out."
"Moreover, how can you stay with Mr. Hou forever in the future?"
Li Xiangjun bit her thin lips, shook her head, and said bitterly: "This is the only way we can plan now. We can only be with Hou Lang again in the next life."
Li Xiangjun's intention is to come out again and sell himself.
In the past, she was a womanizer rather than an entertainer. Later, she was groomed by Hou Fangyu and made to serve only one person. She was regarded as a serious woman.
But if he comes out now, it will be a pure betrayal of his body. The Hou family will definitely not be allowed to enter, and Hou Fangyu will also have a grudge.
Is it worth it?
Bian Yujing was confused.
She looked around blankly. The pedestrians in front of her seemed to have evil intentions and were thinking about women.
It’s hard to live in this world!
Suddenly, she glanced away and saw a familiar figure:
The man who scolded her for not wearing her eyes when she went out.
He was sitting upright, looking out the window, and the nearby mansions and courtyards were clearly visible.
Seeing this, she instantly felt a surge of anger rushing to her forehead, staring straight at her beautiful eyes, and walked towards him.
Zhu Yixi was in a tall building in the inner city. It was only three or four feet tall, but it made him quite satisfied.
This position allows him to have a good view of the inner city.
The noble mansion is in a mess, with people flying and people on their backs. The former nobles now have no choice but to sell their property, just to keep their husbands and fathers alive.
And what if you don’t do it?
Being unfaithful as a wife and unfilial as a son is even more painful than losing money.
The arrogant slaves were all panic-stricken, as if they had anticipated the difficulties in the future. Even the dogs barked much louder, for fear of making their masters angry.
"This feeling of controlling people's destiny is so comfortable."
He was filled with emotions, but Qian Qianyi's wife was a good one, a mature and beautiful wife.
Suddenly, there was a noise in his ears.
"Let me in-"
"Get out of here, don't blame me for using the knife!"
The guards drew their knives and threatened.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yixi looked up and asked in confusion.
"Sir, there is a woman who insists on barging in!"
The guard spoke.
"Let her in!"
Zhu Yixi squinted her eyes and looked at them, feeling familiar, especially the pair of huge ones, which looked particularly familiar.
"Well sir!"
As he got closer, Bian Yujing became much calmer and said softly.
"Girl, is there something wrong?" Zhu Yixi asked doubtfully.
"I just feel that I am destined to meet the young master, so I just want to meet him again."
Bian Yujing's tone was playful.
"Young girl is quite frank!" Zhu Yixi became interested and immediately pointed to a few people outside the courtyard downstairs: "Are those your companions?"
"Why, do you know anyone from the Qian Mansion?"
Although Zhu Yixi's words were calm, Bian Yujing could still feel the contempt in his words.
This is a man of great status.
"Besides, he's very rich!" Bian Yujing couldn't help but guess as he glanced at the land under his feet.
Thinking of this, she suddenly had an impulse and asked: "Does the Young Master know about the Atonement Scroll?"
You know, I invented it.
"Know a thing or two!" Zhu Yixi said lightly: "This is the emperor's soft heart, leaving a way for these traitors to survive."
"Traitor?" Bian Yujing heard a new word again and became more and more curious about the man's identity.
"The atonement roll is extraordinary."
Zhu Yixi said with a hint of satisfaction: "Each household receives a different denomination of indulgence coupons. For example, the Qian Mansion receives thirty thousand taels of silver, while the Duke of Wei's Mansion receives two hundred thousand taels of silver..."
"The emperor is going to hollow them out!"
Bian Yujing was surprised and snickered: "I guess they have calculated their wealth and made it tailor-made!"
Zhu Yixi was stunned, is it so obvious?
Immediately, he laughed and said: "Either you will die or you will have no money, you have to choose one!"
"Why!"
Bian Yujing sighed, always feeling that this man's identity must be extraordinary, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that my sister will be in big trouble because of this."
