Chapter 217 The Second Young Master Wu Laying the Gun
The house is a newly purchased house, and the people are also new people!
Ever since his father became the commander-in-chief of the former military governor's mansion, Wu Sangui suddenly felt that there were more and more guests in his home. Even the newly moved house, according to his father, was also the "vacant" house of a salt merchant in Yangzhou.
The Wu family didn't spend much money.
The house is not very big, but this is the capital city where every inch of land is precious, and it cannot be compared with the ground in Yangzhou. Especially the Pearl Alley, which can be regarded as the most prosperous area in the capital. Many yamen in the imperial court are located nearby. Here,
Buying such a big house is not just something you can do if you have money.
That means you have to be powerful and powerful.
Unfortunately, the Wu family now has quite a bit of power. Compared with the nobles of the capital for generations, this power is not very busy. However, after the new emperors came to the throne, they were in constant panic all day long.
In people's eyes, the Wu family can definitely be classified as "nouveau riche".
However, if the new rich meet the old nobles, the gap will appear.
As Wu Sangui knew, his father had been a little worried recently, not because of official matters, but because he had hated Duke Dingguo.
To be precise, he hated the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo. In fact, if his father had known that because of a group of brothel girls, the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo would lead people to block him every day, then he didn't think he would have done anything.
The thoughts of those brothel girls.
It's just that the Wu family needs to make friends with too many powerful people now, and the Wu family doesn't have much to offer. These women who are quite famous in the capital, if used well, can indeed become the Wu family's expansion power.
A good helper for people and connections.
The sky was gradually getting dark. Wu Sangui shook his head. It seemed that his father would not return home on time today. He was wondering whether he should go out for a walk after dinner. There were many interesting places in the capital.
, he spends every day reading books and practicing martial arts at home. It is rare that he can be lazy when his father is not around.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, who is that? She is here with someone again!"
The servants ran in in a panic. Now almost everyone in the mansion knew who he was. They didn't have the guts to offend that person, but they didn't dare to let that person be so careless.
Come in.
"Where is my brother!" Wu Sangui frowned: "If the master is not here, isn't my brother also here?"
"The eldest young master and the master have not come back yet. Now the only one who can make the decision in the mansion is the second young master!" Servant Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "That person brought more people this time. It seems that she came today with bad intentions!
"
"Isn't this bullying?" Wu Sangui muttered: "I asked someone to come in. I almost waited on her. I changed my clothes and went to see her. By the way, I told her that the master was not at home. She might stay for a while and then leave!"
After waiting for more than half a cup of tea, Wu Sangui walked towards the hall of his home. The night had completely enveloped him. From a distance, he could see the bright lights in the hall, and many shadowy people standing at the door.
He frowned, really not wanting to deal with this matter, but thinking about his father's instructions not to offend the other party under any circumstances, he bit the bullet and walked towards the hall.
"Isn't it just to collect debts? As for being secretive and refusing to say anything!"
In the living room, Jiang Wan clasped her hands behind her back, looking at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the living room, and teasing Xu Caining with a smile: "But Gao Qianhu has already said that he was not as good at usury loans as you before. Anyway, he still has usury loans."
You’ve spent some money, but you’re just talking empty words, and you’re going to blackmail people into bankruptcy!”
"It's only 20,000 taels of silver, but I won't go bankrupt!" Xu Caining said helplessly: "Master Jiang, you are really ruthless. I don't need you to intervene in the money, I can get some explanations, but this time you open your mouth.
To get back half of the money, I sometimes wonder how many such things Gao Qianhu and you did in Xicheng back then. Why do I think you are familiar with this debt collection routine?"
"When you go out, you go out nine times and when you come back, you get half of it! This is the rule!" Jiang Wan laughed: "If you don't believe me, ask Gao Qianhu if this is the rule!"
Gao Jin looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, not daring to speak. He just looked at Jiang Wan pitifully. Even Xu Caining could see the meaning in his eyes - what happened in the past, can Mr. Jiang not grow old?
You just keep talking about it, at least now I am also a fifth-grade military attache of the imperial court, please give me some dignity!
Wu Sangui walked into the hall and coughed lightly. Everyone in the room stopped talking and looked at him.
"You're negligent, Miss Xu!" Wu Sangui showed a smile and said to Xu Caining: "I let Miss Xu miss me again. I'm so sorry. My father is still busy with official business in the Yamen today and has not returned home. Otherwise, Miss Xu
If you have something to do, how about you go to the Yamen and go directly to my father?"
"I've been to the former military governor's office a long time ago!" Xu Caining glanced at him coldly: "The people over there said that Mr. Wu didn't go back to the Yamen after lunch. I guess it was about this time.
It’s time to go back to the house…”
"Could he have entered the palace?" Wu Sangui said with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Your Majesty has been very concerned about the transfer of defense of the capital recently. In the past few days, my father has been planning to attack from time to time, and your Majesty has inquired about it!"
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Wan waved her hand gently and looked at Wu Sangui with interest: "No need to beat around the bush like this. Your servant just said that you are the second son of the Wu family. Let me ask you.
In one sentence, can you make the decision on the Wu family’s affairs?”
"Well, my father is the head of the family!" Wu Sangui said nonchalantly. For some reason, he felt that the guy in front of him who had been staring at him since he entered the door was a bit hairy.
It felt as if he was not looking at a living person. The light in his eyes felt like he was seeing a big gold ingot walking.
Have you ever been so sparkling?
"Then, don't talk nonsense. Miss Xu has gone to Mr. Wu many times, but Mr. Wu has always avoided seeing him. This does not seem like he is going to solve the problem. So, Miss Xu brought me here today, hoping to
Solve this matter without hurting harmony!"
"I really don't know where my father is right now!" Wu Sangui said with a bitter face: "If you don't believe it, you can just wait for my father here!"
"If we wait here, Mr. Wu will never come back!" Jiang Wan smiled and shook her head: "Why is there such trouble? This matter is very simple!"
He pointed at Wu Sangui: "Miss Xu intends to visit the capital at night. If Mr. Wu has some free time, how about accompanying her?"
