The Wu brothers walked out of the mansion and did not dare to delay. They immediately came to the Hejian County Prince's Mansion, handed over the letter, and asked to see the prince's son.
Not long after, the disciples came out to greet him, saying that it was the prince who invited him.
The two of them followed the door and entered the corner door on one side. They saw that the pavilions and pavilions in the prince's palace were beautiful, and the buildings were row upon row. Everything was filled with a sense of wealth and grandeur, and its luxury and splendor were unprecedented.
Although the two brothers were born in the prince's palace, their father died young and their family was in decline. They were more than one level behind the children of the first-class aristocratic families. They were already stunned by the wealth and luxury in the prince's palace, and they were on tiptoe...
…
In the study, the prince of the county received the Wu brothers.
Li Chongyi, the eldest son of the county prince, is in his twenties. He is tall and handsome, and every move he makes resembles his father. Even when he is sitting upright in the chair, he still has the majestic bearing of a superior.
Holding the letter in his hand, Li Chongyi looked at the Wu brothers and said calmly: "Last time, Erlang Ranran said hello to a certain person, saying that Mrs. Wu's natal brother wanted to take over the renovation project of the East City of Jingzhao Mansion, but...
There is a shortage of some money. Since he is Jing Zhaoyin, if he takes the money directly from you, he may cause trouble to the censor and cause trouble, so I asked someone to lend you some money."
The Wu brothers looked at each other. It turned out that Mei Niang kept saying that she could not give them her own money without permission. It was not because she didn't want to, but she told Fang Jun. Fang Jun had some considerations. This is also true. At that time, Fang Jun
How can a handsome man with a proud horse and a bad horse be willing to make money out of thin air?
Then I thought again, wouldn't it be better if Fang Jun had been promoted to the official position of Jing Zhaoyin earlier? Then there would be no worries and he could lend them money directly...
But now that the matter is over, the two of them are not stupid enough to go back to Fang Jun to borrow money. Anyway, it doesn’t matter whose money it is, and they have no intention of borrowing it seriously or not, so what does it matter? The most important thing is that the difficulty at hand must be
Let’s get past that and talk about the rest later.
Wu Yuanqing saluted and said: "Erlang is cautious, but my brother is coming to cause trouble for the prince. I am really scared."
Li Chongyi nodded, thinking that these two people were better than the rubbish comments spread by the outside world. At least they knew the rules of politeness, so he said politely: "We are all a family, why should we be so polite? Madam Wu has already made it clear in this letter, you two
I am willing to mortgage my ancestors and borrow 300,000 yuan for a period of one year, leaving home nine times and returning home thirteen times, but is this the case?"
The Wu brothers nodded, their hearts bleeding.
Mother!
It’s good to have money. What kind of business do you want to do? You’ll get rich just by borrowing money! I borrowed 300,000 yuan here, but got only 270,000 yuan. After a year, I have to pay back 390,000 yuan... If
If you can pay it off in time, that's not bad. After all, it can solve an urgent need. But if you can't pay it off, you will die. Judging from Fang Jun's relationship with the Hejian County Prince's Palace, even if he can't pay it off by then, he won't be able to pay it off.
As for doing whatever you want, the rule of loan sharking has always been to make profits after making money. When you have to pay it back the next year, it will be more than 500,000 yuan...
Li Chongyi said happily: "In that case, you two will write a receipt for me, and I will get the money for you."
Wu Yuanshuang had never seen a huge sum of more than 200,000 yuan in his whole life. He swallowed and said, "But my brother came in a hurry and didn't bring the house deed with him..."
"So what's the problem?" Li Chongyi waved his hand grandly and said calmly: "With this small amount of money, I am still afraid that you two will cheat? If not, you will write the certificate first, and then get the money for you, and I will send someone to give the money to you.
I'll send it to your mansion and take the house deed back with you when you come back. What do you two think?"
The two of them nodded in agreement. Look at the prince, the prince, and his magnanimity in doing things. Such a huge sum of money is just "a little money" in their eyes, and the mortgage and other things are just a formality, and they don't care much at all.
What a difference...
Li Chongyi immediately called an accountant, wrote down the voucher, and asked the Wu brothers to sign and deposit it.
Then, Li Chongyi suggested: "Two hundred and seventy thousand yuan is a bit huge. I heard that Xian Kunzhong still owes Jingzhao Mansion a ransom? If not, I will write you a letter and you can hand it to Jingzhao Mansion.
The ransom will be paid directly to them by a certain person, and you only need to bring the balance with you. I don’t know how this can be done?”
Naturally, the two of them would have no objections. How could the dignified prince of the county embezzle their tens of thousands of dollars in ransom?
When the two parties were settled, the Wu brothers returned home with a huge sum of 190,000 gu. The ransom of 80,000 gu was settled by Li Chongyi and Jingzhao Mansion, and the two mortgaged their ancestral home to Li Chongyi.
When the servant got back the house deed from Wu's house, Li Chongyi called a close servant and handed him the certificate written by the Wu brothers together with the house deed, and ordered: "Go to Fang Mansion and hand these over to Fang Jun's concubine.
Lady Wu, you must never take advantage of others, remember?"
"Here!"
The servant responded and went to the house with his things.
Li Chongyi stretched himself, thought for a moment, and went straight to the study room in the back house to find his father, Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County.
Li Xiaogong was dressed in loose regular clothes and was leaning on the soft couch in the study. Two maids were helping him hold his legs and feet. They were holding a small silver flask in one hand and sipping wine in small sips. The other hand was holding a petite maid's hand.
Fumbling around in the half-open arms, the little maid was sweating and panting, her delicate and beautiful face was flushed, her red lips were biting lightly, and her eyes were dripping with water...
When Li Chongyi entered the study, he saw this scene.
However, he has long been accustomed to it. He has seen how ridiculous his father is more than once. He showed no embarrassment on his face and greeted him respectfully.
Li Xiaogong stretched out his foot and kicked him, and several maids hurriedly got up, first saluted Li Chongyi, and then hurried away.
After yawning and putting the wine bottle aside, Li Xiaogong asked, "Is there something wrong with my son?"
Li Chongyi pondered for a moment, and then persuaded him with gentle words: "It's not that the son wants to interfere with his father, it's just that the wine and sex are like a steel knife that picks out bones. Occasionally, he feels relaxed and happy for it, but if he has no restraint, he pursues his soul and takes his life... I hope my father will have more love."
It’s better to take care of your health and exercise some moderation.”
"Get the hell out of here! You can take care of my affairs too? Okay, okay, as a father you know what's going on. What's the matter that I haven't said yet?"
Li Xiaogong cursed in displeasure.
Li Chongyi is helpless, but filial piety is the way of heaven. Only I can beat my son. If my son can't persuade me, then there really is nothing he can do...
He told the story about the Wu brothers coming to the house for a loan just now, and then said: "This money was originally the profit allocated by the shipyard, and it was what Fang Jun deserved. Logically speaking, the son should not talk about how he used it.
But why did he take advantage of me and lend money to the Wu brothers instead? Could it be that Fang Jun was really greedy for the small profits, and he was too embarrassed to make money from his uncle, so he turned around and walked away from his son?
Once?"
Li Xiaogong sat up from the soft couch, looked at the majestic eldest son in front of him, and said slowly: "My son must understand a truth. The more you know about worldly affairs, the better. The more you know, the better."
The more troubles, the more troubles mean that you will always encounter risks. Even if you know some things, you have to try your best to pretend not to know. It is difficult for stupid people to pretend to be smart, and it is even harder for smart people to be stupid. My family
Nowadays, your reputation and status have reached the highest level, so as a father, you often feel a sense of panic, lest something bad happens. If your father is gone one day, you have to remember that you don’t have to investigate everything seriously, and you don’t take advantage when you can suffer a loss.
, Don’t be smart when you can be confused. Only in this way can our family last for a long time.”
Li Chongyi was a little confused. He didn't know what his father was feeling today.
Just now you were so beautiful and gentle in your arms...
However, he has always been respectful and filial. No matter whether Li Xiaogong is reasonable or not, he will never be disobedient, not to mention such profound and profound wisdom in life?
Hearing this, he bowed and said, "When a son is taught, he will definitely remember his father's teachings."
Li Xiaogong laughed and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so formal. He leaned back slightly on the pillow and said casually: "As for the Wu brothers...it's just that Mrs. Wu is preparing for a rainy day. Although Fang Jun suffered setbacks this time, he
The road to ascent is still open, and his highest point must be after the crown prince ascends the throne. In this way, how could Mrs. Wu allow her two stupid natal brothers to always become a hidden danger to Fang Jun's career and be attacked and annihilated by political enemies?"
Li Chongyi suddenly realized: "In other words, this is actually a trap..."
"Of course, let's wait and see. In the end, the Wu brothers can only obediently stick to Mrs. Wu and dare not cause any more trouble. In fact, in my opinion, it would be better to be more ruthless and avoid future troubles forever.
"
Li Chongyi was sweating a little. Isn't this too cruel? Just for an unfounded possibility, you have to kill someone?
But he is a little naive after all. If Fang Jun does this again, he will probably give Li Xiaogong a thumbs up. In history, Wu Meiniang killed several brothers by various means, but it was not just because of the hatred of being abused in childhood.
That's all.
When it comes to ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, what does mere personal hatred mean?
Without these brothers who seek death, Wu Meiniang can be considered a perfect golden body, and will not give any chance to those enemies who attack and annihilate him...
