"When gold and stone are opened, lions roar in the east of the river..." Pang Yu kept talking all the way back to the gate. When he found He Xianya, he asked, "Does the third brother know that the county magistrate's secret friend, named Mr. Yu, is afraid of women?"
When He Xianya heard such a nonsense sentence, he was stunned for a moment before laughing and said: "Everyone knows about this matter. Mr. Yu is from Zhuji, Zhejiang. The eldest woman's natal family is quite powerful in the local area. This woman knows everything at home.
He often scolds Mr. Yu to the point where he is so bloody that he has not had any children for more than ten years, but he does not allow Mr. Yu to marry a second wife, or even a girl to fill the house. As a result, Mr. Yu is now over 10 years old and has no heirs. He is a Tongcheng resident.
Well-known shrew."
Pang Yu nodded after hearing this. He took a gamble this morning and it was a temporary relief. However, the effect will soon fade. If he doesn't take this great opportunity to get close to the county magistrate's tree, he will be taken care of by Wang Dazhuang sooner or later, just in time to catch up with his friends.
If so, how could you let this opportunity pass?
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Have you ever heard of anyone that this woman has a good relationship with and can talk to?"
"This woman has little contact with the family members of the officials in the government office. She seems to have more contact with Mrs. Tan.
He doesn't go out often on weekdays, but goes to Guanyin Temple every ten days to pray for a child.
However, I have been begging for several years and have not seen any movement in my stomach. I heard that I raised the sea pup at home like a grandson, but in fact it is a female dog. People in the government said that she is a dog daughter."
Pang Yu muttered, "What Mr. Tan said is true."
He Xianya persuaded in a low voice: "Second brother, you are asking about this matter, but you want to follow Mr. Yu's path. My brother told you first, it is better to advise the second brother not to make ideas from Mr. Yu. This man has been here for several years and has never talked with him."
People from Tongcheng come and go, but all their efforts are in vain.
He is not the only one. This is the case with county magistrates, county magistrates, and all the secretaries of Dianshi. Your lords need the talents of secretaries, but you are wary of them. You are always afraid that your secretaries will accept money behind your back and will not share the same heart and moral principles with the court officials.
In order to avoid suspicion, the secret friends usually do not have close friendship with our local people, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the court officials.
Mr. Yu only interacted with the Yin and Yang officials in the county government office because the interests of the Yin and Yang officials and the government officials were not entangled much and would not arouse the suspicion of the county magistrate."
Pang Yu smiled and said, "It's the Yin Yang official, he said that Mr. Yu's path lies with Mrs. Yu.
In my opinion, the secret agent is well versed in money, food and punishment. He did this job not just for the money and food, but because of his status as a secret agent, he had to have such an attitude. I was rejected by him as a disciple. That was
Because he doesn't care about these falsehoods.
The secretaries have no future in the yamen, and they don't seek fame, so what else do they seek if they don't seek wealth."
He Xianya kept looking at Pang Yu after hearing this. This idiot second brother often did things that surprised him after he became enlightened. Occasionally he was really capable of doing stupid things, but what he just said made sense.
"But second brother, even if the Yin and Yang officials are willing to be the match, it will be quite inconvenient for us to get in and out of that place."
"The difficulty lies here. His wife also lives in the county magistrate's office. She is under the eyes of the county magistrate all day long. It is inconvenient for us to go there. But fortunately, I have a female helper."
..."Master, what did you use all the money for?"
Pang Yu looked at the small pile of silver on the bed with a frown. After all the money was given away, he would be a pauper again, so he didn't even have the heart to answer Pang Ding's questions.
When Pang Yu divided the silver into two bags, Pang Ding said from the side, "Master, your unmarried wife passed by the door three times today. She must want to see you."
"An unmarried wife?"
Pang Yu tilted her head and thought, "You said that fairy from the Liu family, wait for me to do the calculations, five taels will be withheld as liquidated damages, and the Zhou family will be divided into twenty-six taels as compensation. Twenty-six taels have already been given to our parents. The punishment room is
After the disaster, I won't give them any more money. I'm afraid they don't dare to say anything, so I keep the remaining six taels for myself. There are only eleven taels in total here, which is just enough for the betrothal gift."
Pang Ding hurriedly said: "Young Master, take these eleven taels and talk about the marriage. Now that you are enlightened, the news has spread to the neighbors. I heard that Aunt Liu fainted out of anger yesterday and has not been able to get out of bed until now."
, if you want to propose marriage again, then Aunt Liu might agree.
If it's too late, what if someone else takes away the Liu family's daughter first..." "Speak clearly, did you hear some rumors somewhere?"
"Master, there are rumors in the neighborhood that the Liu family fell in love with a family before they broke off the engagement. The person who opened the woodware shop in Doujiaqiao was led by Aunt Jiang from the copper shop. They just waited for the Liu family to find a matchmaker and break off the engagement.
, then go through the door over there."
"No wonder Aunt Liu, a tough guy, is willing to pay ten taels of liquidated damages, but it also shows that Aunt Liu is angry because she is heartbroken over the liquidated damages, not because she regrets breaking off the engagement.
Now that the two families are at odds with each other, if we use eleven taels to propose marriage now, we will definitely be in trouble and bring humiliation to ourselves."
After Pang Yu finished speaking, he picked up the silver bag and went out. Pang Ding quickly followed him to the patio, where Zhou Yueru was waiting.
Pang Yu handed both bags of silver to Zhou Yueru, "Take the silver and go with the wife of the Yin and Yang officer. The larger bag will be given to Mr. Yu's wife, and the smaller bag will be given to Mrs. Tan."
"I..." Zhou Yueru waved her hands repeatedly. She had never done such a thing before and really didn't know how to proceed.
Pang Yu was afraid that Zhou Yueru might be nervous and do something bad, so she tried her best to console him in a pleasant manner, "Mr. Yu's home is in the east living room of the County Government Office, and only the female family members can enter and exit easily.
Miss Zhou, you don’t have to worry, Mrs. Tan will teach you, just send the money and don’t say anything more. If Mrs. Yu asks you questions, just treat her like an aunt and talk to her."
"I'm afraid, I won't go to such a big official..." Pang Yu said with a straight face, "Zhou Yueru, I hired you for four taels of silver a month to work. It's up to you to choose what to do. If you don't want to do it, first
Pay back the money you just divided and buy, and pay this month’s mortgage money.”
Zhou Yueru's face turned red. She really didn't have any money at home. The money she shared today was for tomorrow's meal. She had no choice but to agree, but because of nervousness and fear, tears welled up in her eyes.
The wife of the Yin and Yang officer was waiting outside. She was dressed simply and looked very low-key.
He didn't say anything when he saw a few people coming out, and walked away with the leader in front.
Zhou Yueru followed behind and kept looking back, with a very flustered expression.
Pang Yu waved to her without sympathy, gesturing for her to follow Mrs. Tan.
"Master, you gave her all your money, what are you going to use to propose marriage to Aunt Liu?"
Pang Ding looked at Zhou Yueru who was walking away and asked.
Pang Yu squinted his eyes after hearing this, and the scene of the Liu family fairies standing gracefully by the Deng River came to mind. However, it only lasted for a short moment, and Pang Yu's mind was occupied by a pile of money again.
Now that he wants to get in touch with his secret friend, the money must be used to do this, and will never be used to propose a marriage.
"Anyway, I don't have a penny now."
Pang Ding shook his head and said, "What a pity you and that childhood sweetheart Liu Ruozi are!"
"It turns out her name is Liu Ruozi, which is not very attractive."
Pang Ding scratched his head, feeling that the young master was starting to become confused again, and quickly reminded him, "Master, you have forgotten that the Liu family gave birth to two daughters. This Liu Ruozi is the youngest daughter, and she has been raised as a son since she was a child.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are very fond of this little daughter, neither tying her feet nor becoming a naughty girl. She has always had a wild and wild temper, but it is only now that she is older that she has restrained herself."
Pang Yu said with a smile: "It's boring if you are not wild, so I will fight for it. But now there is competition, and the Liu family's psychological price is quite high. It is not a good time to take action."
"It's useless even if the good times are good. Master, you have lost all your money."
"There is a way out if you have little money. Even if you don't have money, you may not be unable to propose marriage."
Pang Ding looked at Pang Yu with his mouth wide open.
Pang Yu raised his finger, "Pang Ding, let me tell you, now that the young master has enlightened me, the Pang family's intangible assets have increased in value and have just hit a new high. You must not be anxious at this time.
In the past, Pang Yu was trading sideways at a low level for a long time. When the Liu family talked about marrying the Pang family, they got a low-level bargaining chip, which lasted for ten years, but there was no room for improvement, and it was indeed possible to lose money.
But now that I'm here, young master, the actual value is different.
And I found that the Liu family had lost confidence and the chips were extremely loose. Of course, I had to push Aunt Liu to lose the chips at a low position and solve the urgent need of our family's capital chain.
Now the young master is in the rising stage of his career and is still in the stage of rapid increase. Don't be impatient at this time, let alone hand over your chips easily. Only by confirming the high position before making transactions can you obtain the best trading conditions."
Pang Ding didn't understand at all, and of course he didn't doubt him, because the young master used to speak without thinking. It was common for Pang Ding not to understand. He looked at Pang Yu blankly for a long time before saying, "What on earth is that?"
Should we say goodbye or not?"
Pang Yu insisted on the good habit of beating domestic servants every day, and slapped Pang Ding hard on the head, "I made it so clear and you still ask, isn't your time worth it?"
Pang Ding covered his head, "What should I do if the Liu family's daughter gets married? Where can I find such a beautiful girl?"
"This kind of thinking will kill you. The young master will teach you that no matter how good the thing you like is, you must not feel that you have to do it when trading. It will make you impulsive. Impulse is the enemy of trading, no matter how eager you are.
..." Pang Yu touched his chin and muttered, "You can't let people see it. Instead, you have to wait calmly, try to find ways to suppress its valuation, and wait until the best time to make a move."
"Then why did you give so much money to Mr. Yu instead of waiting?"
"Can I beat Mr. Yu's valuation? I'm just lucky that this deal can be done."
"Then how to suppress the Liu family's valuation?"
"come here."
After Pang Ding came over, Pang Yu ordered in a low voice: "Tomorrow you go to the neighbors and spread the word, saying that the gods told the Pang family in a dream that anyone who marries the Liu family will have bad luck. The Pang family just listened.
The gods instructed to break off the engagement.
Sure enough, just one day after I quit, the drug store had a big business, and my head healed immediately. Now I am very knowledgeable and knowledgeable about etiquette. Why was I so stupid before? I was favored by the Liu family because of my luck.
Suppressed... Well, by the way, you have to put special emphasis on the birthmark on the Liu family's daughter's face, saying that this birthmark is born with calamity. If you tell everyone about it, let me see who dares to propose marriage to Aunt Liu."
"Is this called suppressing the Liu family's valuation?"
"Of course, others are scared and naturally dare not come to get married. Without payment, there is no liquidity, and without liquidity, there is no value. By then, the valuation of the Liu family's daughter will be at least seven or eight below the limit. Then, young master, I will go trade again.
Spend your life sucking money from the bottom."
"Then what if the suppression still fails?"
Pang Yu lay down and made a gesture of spreading his hands, "Then give up this deal and look for a better target. There is nothing in this world that I can't give up. With the young master's talent and talent, he has learned a lot and is rich in five cars. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find a wife?"
, then there’s a female aide to protect the bottom line.”
