"Then what can you do if you go to Xiuyan?" Yuanyang frowned.
"Hey, I have to care about it. I also think that if it is two or three hundred taels of silver, I will go and beg grandma. Grandma may be able to add one or two hundred taels to make up five hundred taels. But I heard Xiuyan say
It costs two to three thousand taels of silver, which is a huge difference."
Ping'er sighed.
"This situation is also a bit strange. Normally, if there are three to five hundred taels of silver to be repaid first, the loan sharks outside should accept it first and then give it a period of grace. Unexpectedly, she refused to agree this time.
Her mother cried at home all day long, which made Xiuyan anxious and at a loss..."
“How much can we get if we all come together?” Yuanyang also found it difficult.
"Forget it, among the girls, I'm afraid only Miss Lin can still have some money. It's hard to ask for help from Grandma Zhu. The second, third, fourth and Shi girls are all around."
I only have thirty or fifty taels left, and my grandma may have some, but your grandma may be going out soon, and it’s time to spend money, so why bother?”
Ping'er is telling the truth. The only ones who really have money are Li Wan and Wang Xifeng. But Li Wan is a widow and has a young man. He will definitely save money to think about Jia Lan in the future, let alone Wang Xifeng.
, after leaving home, you have no relatives or friends, you have to make a living on your own, and if you want to live a decent life, you also have to support a large group of people, and the money you spend is like water.
There may be some at Miss Lin’s side, but Miss Lin is about to get married, so all the money should be used as a dowry...
"Uncle Feng..." Ping'er and Yuanyang both thought of the same person.
"It is said that the eldest gentleman and the eldest lady also mean the same thing. They say that those loan sharks are ruthless. Even if they pay money, they may come up with many other tricks. This is how they make a living. It is better to tell Feng
Uncle, please ask Uncle Feng to come forward and solve the problem." Ping'er nodded.
“This is also an idea, but Xiuyan doesn’t want to?” Yuanyang frowned.
"Xiuyan definitely doesn't want to in her heart. You also know that there have been some rumors. Xiuyan has been avoiding suspicion. Now she doesn't want to see Uncle Feng. Who would have thought that such a bad thing would happen again? Isn't this..." Ping'er
He shook his head and said, "But this is my father. I can't ignore the girl. But the eldest master has also said that if the government comes forward rashly, it is a fact that the Xing family's uncle owes money. I'm afraid that the government will not allow anything else, but you
But the money must be repaid..."
No secrets can be kept in the Rongguo Mansion. Earlier, it was said that the second girl wanted to be a concubine for Uncle Feng, but the old man was unwilling and said it was a shame. Later, it was spread in the mansion that he was reluctant to accept the tens of thousands of dollars from the Sun family.
Two silver coins.
Later, they said that the eldest master and the eldest wife intended to let Xiuyan take his place as a concubine for Uncle Feng, so that the Xings and his wife could rely on each other to avoid having a miserable life in the future. However, this was undoubtedly a bit difficult for Xiuyan to accept.
How come the innocent girl's family has become someone else's substitute?
It turns out that the first time the news came out in the mansion that the second girl was going to be Uncle Feng's concubine was when Uncle Feng was doing editing at the Hanlin Academy. Not to mention that the masters in the mansion felt embarrassed, even the servants found it a bit incredible. But when Feng
After the uncle was suddenly promoted to the fifth rank of Yongping Prefecture, the attitude of the servants changed. They felt that it was not unacceptable for the second lady to be uncle Feng's concubine, but the masters still felt that it was a bit too much to save their face.
By the time Uncle Feng defeated the Mongolian soldiers in Yongping Prefecture and single-handedly negotiated with the Mongolian noble chief to redeem the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, his reputation was known to everyone in Beijing. Even the face-conscious people like Jia Zheng and Wang felt that
It doesn't seem that hard to accept anymore.
Now that Uncle Feng has been promoted to the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture and has become everyone's official official, the servants are all cheering, feeling that the Jia family finally has a reliable relative in the capital city, and is no longer the kind of martial artist with a false name.
Now that I'm home, when I go out and meet other family members, I dare to say that I have someone in the Shuntianfu Yamen, which makes me feel more confident and courageous.
As for the second girl, or the girl from the Xing family, becoming Uncle Feng's concubine is a natural "match made in heaven", and I am happy to see it happen.
“What do you mean, sir?” Yuanyang asked in confusion.
"It seems that Xiuyan is asked to ask Uncle Feng to come forward personally. Those loan sharks are just low-level characters. Uncle Feng can make them obey as soon as he comes forward casually. Not to mention the interest, they may not even pay for their capital.
Can..." Ping'er suddenly stopped, probably feeling that this was a bit inappropriate.
Yuanyang glared at Ping'er, "Is Uncle Feng that kind of person?"
"Well, yes, yes, the uncle Feng in your heart is a saint..." Ping'er pursed his lips and smiled, "But saints also have to be exposed to the fireworks of the world, right?"
“What do you think of Xiuyan?” Yuanyang bit her lip and said, “We can’t keep dragging it on, right?”
"I guess Xiuyan still has to go to Uncle Feng. Such matters will ultimately have to be resolved by the elder's intervention. You can't let Xiuyan face those people, right?" Ping'er took Yuanyang's hand, "What do you mean?
This is the way the world is. When a man does something wrong, his daughter’s family has to find a way to solve it. Alas,..."
Just when Yuanyang Heping'er was lamenting the sorrow of her daughter's family, Xing Xiuyan was indeed filled with sorrow and didn't know what to do.
She had known for a long time that her father was a bad gambler outside, but she and her mother had tried to persuade her countless times, but to no avail. In addition, she had nothing to do in Beijing, so when she met some bad friends, she took her to drink, drink and gamble.
It became Xingzhong’s biggest hobby.
It turned out that I didn't have much money, so I was still restrained. I didn't care if I lost a little, including in Ni Er's casino. I lost a lot. For the sake of some people, I could still give some money, but as time went by, my father became more and more wanton.
, in Mr. Ni’s casino, people refused to let him gamble.
He went to gamble elsewhere. People in other places would not tolerate him and would even drag him into gambling. This happened again and again, and the debt quickly climbed from dozens of taels to hundreds or even thousands of taels. Later, Xing Xiuyan
They didn't even dare to inquire.
People also know his identity and know that he is the brother-in-law of the eldest man in Rongguo Mansion. They even wish he could borrow more and for a longer period of time. Anyway, the interest is calculated on a daily basis.
To be honest, Xing Xiuyan also knows that even stingy people like his uncle and aunt have paid off his father's debts several times. Although it is not much, it still amounts to several hundred taels of silver. For his uncle's temperament, it is simply too much.
It can be called rare.
Some time ago, it was said that my uncle helped my father pay back hundreds of taels of silver, which made Xiuyan suspicious.
With my uncle's temperament, two to three hundred taels of silver is already the limit. Knowing that his father owes gambling debts, how can he help pay off the debt again? And it is obvious that his father is not able to repay the money.
.
Later, I heard some clues from some rumors, saying that Brother Feng was attracted to the second sister and wanted to take the second sister as his concubine, but his uncle deliberately promised the second sister to the Sun family and took a large sum of money from the Sun family.
, but also felt that the Feng family could not be abandoned, so he deliberately let himself marry into the Feng family instead of the second sister and become the concubine of Brother Feng.
This made Xiuyan feel even more humiliated.
Because of the relationship with sister Miaoyu, Xiuyan has always dreamed of the beautiful situation of being with Miaoyu and serving as a husband. Moreover, judging from the various images of Brother Feng, he is also worthy of the praise of a heroic man. Look at the attitude towards the young man in the capital city.
Feng Xiuzhan praised her all the time, saying that being her concubine would not be embarrassing at all, and would even be glorious.
But Xiuyan could not accept this practice of being someone's substitute as a concubine.
If Brother Feng really likes her, values herself, and wants to take her as his concubine, Xing Xiuyan thinks it is not impossible to consider it. However, if he settles for the second best because he wants to accept his second sister, then Xiuyan cannot accept it.
Because of this, Xiuyan has been avoiding seeing Brother Feng during this period to avoid embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, such a thing was before us. Both her uncle and aunt said that they could only turn to Brother Feng in order to solve the problem once and for all, but Xiuyan refused to believe it.
Without him, it was like this after her father arrived in the capital. She had lost confidence in her father.
No matter kneeling down to beg for persuasion or wiping away tears to plead, it is of no use. He promised well in person, and then turned around and forgot about it. When he met a few fair-weather friends, when he was summoned, he was like a hungry horse galloping into the trough, and no one could stand in his way.
Can't live.
But in this situation, she couldn't ignore it. If she really wanted those bachelors to hand back things like her father's fingers or ears, then what if they finally had to plead guilty to the law? Is it possible to break the law?
Can the broken finger be reattached?
Thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount. Xiuyan felt that if she had the nerve to borrow it, she would not be able to borrow it, but she couldn't do it.
Sister-in-law Zhu and Sister-in-law Lian are both in trouble, so why bother others? And when will they pay it back after borrowing it? Can they pay it back?
My uncle and aunt are not willing to borrow so much. Even if they can borrow it, I am afraid that I will become the reason why they give me to Brother Feng as their concubine.
Miss Lin might be able to do it, but because of Miaoyu, she was unwilling.
After all this calculation, it seems that the only solution is to go to Brother Feng and ask him to take action.
And Xing Xiuyan also had a thought in his heart. With Brother Feng's ability, maybe there was really a way to solve his father's daily habit of drinking and gambling once and for all?
Xiuyan stood up, walked to the dressing table, looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh.
But don’t let Brother Feng look down on you because of things like this. This is the biggest obstacle in Xiuyan’s heart.
Standing in front of the mirror for a long time, Xiuyan looked away, brushed the black hair on her forehead, and finally walked out.
