Late at night, the Zhang family sent someone to look for Lin Yi. Lin Yi was already lying down. Chunmei sent word that the Zhang family wanted to borrow money. Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Tell him to go back and say we'll talk to him tomorrow if he has anything to do."
Let's cool each other down first, tomorrow won't be too late.
Not long after, Chunmei came back, "Master, you are tired from practicing. Do you want Chunmei to give you a massage?"
"Well, come on."
Chunmei was so happy that she took off her shoes and went to bed, knelt beside Lin Yi and massaged gently. Lin Yi closed his eyes and enjoyed it, and fell asleep at some point.
Chunmei looked at her master, pursed her lips, climbed down gently, and went back to her small bed in the outer room to sleep.
The next day,
It’s still the beginning of the Mao period,
Lin Yi got up to practice martial arts.
Chunmei Xiu'er now knew Lin Yi's habit of getting up early to dress and wash herself. In the martial arts training ground, Lin Yi started practicing and felt that all kinds of kung fu were becoming more and more proficient and his moves became more and more handy.
200% physical enhancement, which not only enhances strength, but also endurance, speed, reaction and other aspects.
Through these days of training, his basic data has continued to grow, and his overall strength has also improved by leaps and bounds.
However, he has never fought against a real warrior, and he still doesn't know his current situation. He will have a chance to find someone to try his hand later.
Martial arts training is over,
The servants had prepared hot water, and Lin Yi called Youcai, "Go and notify Earl Ying and Xie Xida that there is business coming, and ask them to come over quickly."
Lin Youcai quickly went out to inform people.
Chunmei Xiuer took a bath, and after washing, she combed her hair and changed clothes. Lin Yi put on a set of brocade embroidered clothes. Originally, Chunmei wanted to arrange flowers for Lin Yi, but Lin Yi stopped her, "From now on, I won't wear anything on my head anymore."
Throw these things away."
In the TV series, Ximen Qing appears with large flowers in his hair, which has become his unique symbol. In fact, many men in the Song Dynasty had flowers in their hair, which was a relatively common style of dress.
Chunmei didn't dare to ask why, she just did as the master told her.
I came to the restaurant to have breakfast. I had just finished eating half of the meal. Earl Ying and Xie Xi walked in and saw Lin Yi eating. The two guys licked their faces and asked for a bowl of porridge.
"Brother, what's the business? Can Youcai call us brothers early in the morning?" Earl Ying asked while drinking porridge.
"That member, Zhang, sent someone to knock on the door last night and said he wanted to borrow money. I will take you two to Zhang's house today to see what the situation is." Lin Yi said.
In fact, he knows the cause and effect better than anyone else.
"Ah, didn't the Zhang family borrow money? Why do they still need to borrow it?" Earl Ying and Xie Xi were both surprised.
"Who knows, come with me after dinner. If this deal is completed, you two will still get commission." Lin Yi said.
Earl Ying and Xie Xi were overjoyed, "Thank you, brother, for taking care of me."
It would be nice to be given half of the commission if they were found after it didn't work out at the time. The shady masters can just tighten their noses. Lin Yi is now willing to give them the full commission. The two guys are naturally grateful to Lin Yi.
I knew it was Lin Yi who took care of me.
After breakfast, the three of them strolled to the west of the city. While walking on the road, Lin Yi thought that he should arrange a good carriage at home.
besides,
Buy two more horses for traveling.
As soon as I arrived outside the Zhang Family Courtyard, I heard a commotion inside, including scoldings, shouts and curses, as well as women crying and pleading.
The three of them walked into the house.
I saw many people standing in the yard. The Zhang family master, his wife, maids, and servants were all there. There were several large wooden boxes piled in the yard. They were red wooden boxes. You could tell they were dowries at a glance. Lin Yixin said these were Zhang's
Has the lady taken out all the dowry?
That's really the case.
Unable to borrow money, she had no choice but to save her two sons. Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and took out the dowry from the bottom of the box to sell it to raise money.
And at this moment,
Mrs. Zhang's wife was directing the housekeeper with bruised eyes, asking him to take two servants and grab two women in the courtyard, "The family is short of money, how can we have time to raise some singing girls? Sell these two little bitches to a brothel."
Brothel, remember to sell it at a good price."
The two women struggled and begged.
"Master, madam, don't sell us to a brothel. We don't need a monthly salary, and we have very little to eat."
The woman's pear blossom begged for rain.
she knows,
Once she entered the brothel, it was as deep as the sea, and it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to escape. Her whole life was ruined. Don't talk about stories about talented people and beautiful women, she knew they were false.
Zhang Yuanwai looked at the woman and said with a helpless face: "Jin Lian, I am really helpless. Now the Zhang family has to raise money to tide over the difficulties, so I can only wrong you two sisters. In fact, the brothel is not bad. With your beauty and
With skills, it’s easy to become an oiran.”
The woman's face looked sad when she heard this, and the girl next to her, who was slightly younger than her, could only sob and cry.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense to her? Take her away. Remember to sell her at a good price and fast. You must get the money today." Mrs. Zhang's sharp voice urged again.
The housekeeper directed the men to drag the two women again. This time Pan Jinlian did not struggle and allowed the men to drag them out.
At this time, Lin Yi was already standing at the door of Zhang's house. Pan Jinlian was dragged out, and she happened to face Lin Yi. The woman looked at Lin Yi with no look in her eyes, as if she was dead.
Lin Yi and the others stood at the door, blocking the way. The butler looked at Lin Yi and the others with one eye narrowed, and asked, "What do you guys want?"
Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others.
Lin Yi was dressed in rich clothes, so the housekeeper naturally did not dare to speak in a rough tone.
"My surname is Lin. Your master came to your door last night and asked to borrow money. I'm here, right?" Lin Yi said loudly.
"Ah, it turns out it's Mr. Lin. You're here. Please come in. Please come in." He said and ran back quickly, shouting as he ran, "Master, Mr. Lin is here."
Zhang Yuanwai and Mrs. Zhang heard the sound and hurried out. Zhang Yuanwai saw Lin Yi for the second time. He immediately smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Oh, I have seen Mr. Lin. There is something going on at home. I want you to come over in person. Please come in quickly."
Please come in."
When Mrs. Zhang saw Lin Yi next to her, she also tried her best to smile, because she knew that this man was now the most critical person to save her son.
No matter what else,
Now she just wants to borrow money to rescue her son.
Lin Yi looked at the two women with a smile, and found that the two women were looking at him at the moment, with a hint of longing in their eyes. Pan Jinlian knew why the Zhang family was short of money. If Lin Daguan in front of him lent the Zhang family money, the Zhang family would be able to live in front of him.
crisis, maybe she wouldn't have to be sold to a brothel.
Lin Yi looked at the two women.
They are all pear blossoms with sad faces, but they can't hide their beauty. They have a graceful and plump figure, a plump figure, a delicate appearance, and charming eyes with peach blossoms. I think this is the Pan Jinlian that everyone knows.
He suddenly remembered the description of her in Jin Pingmei's book: "Crescent green eyebrows, fragrant cherry mouth, straight Qiongyao nose, thick pink cheeks, delicate silver face, light curls
The body of a flower, the hands of slender green onion branches, and the waist of a willow."
It's really expressive.
The girl on the other side is very similar in appearance to Pan Jinlian, a little more childish, and a little more well-behaved.
I think it's the anemone.
Mrs. Zhang felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lin Yi sizing up the two maids. After all, the Zhang family was also a respectable family. Today, she was in the position of selling dowries, jewelry, and singing girls, which made her feel very embarrassed.
He glared at the butler.
"Why are you still standing there? Take them away and remember to sell them at a good price."
Only then did the housekeeper react.
"It's madam, let's go right away."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the guards to drag the two women away.
Pan Jinlian originally thought that if someone lent money to the Zhang family, her sisters could escape the fate of being sold into a brothel, but she didn't expect that they would still end up like this.
In fact, she also knew that there might be other reasons.
Zhang Yuanwai always wanted to harass her. Madam knew that and had beaten her several times. She already hated her and hated her in her heart.
This time I have this opportunity to completely eliminate her. How could Madam let go of the opportunity?
this moment,
She suddenly died.
Only sadness remains.
"etc."
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded. It was not loud, but it was extremely magnetic. Everyone's movements were stagnant, including the guards dragging the two women.
Lin Yi looked at the two girls, with a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Yuanwai, "Is this the singer in your house?"
"Yes." Zhang Yuanwai said.
"Want to sell to a brothel?"
Zhang Yuanwai had a sarcastic expression on his face.
"Since you want to sell it, sell it to me. I happen to be short of two maids to serve you. I think these two are pretty good." Lin Yi said in a relaxed tone.
Pan Jinlian's body was shaken.
Looking up at Lin Yi,
There was a look of survival in her eyes. If she could follow the man in front of her and become a maid, it would be ten thousand times better than being sold to a brothel.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since the high official wants to buy it, these two girls will sell it to you for 600 yuan."
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
When Earl Ying saw it, he immediately jumped out and looked at Madam Zhang with disdain, "600 guan, Madam really dares to offer a price. There are only thirty or fifty guan maids on the street, and the young and beautiful ones are only twice as much.
It will never exceed 100 guan. You want 600 guan for these two. Haha, didn’t you say you want to sell them to a brothel? If I can sell them for 600 guan, it will be less than I should go to the Earl’s brothel.”
Mrs. Zhang's pale face trembled after being robbed.
"The two of them are not very pretty. They have a teaching professor in the house. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They have never done any heavy work. Their bodies are all fine and tender. Moreover, they are both in perfect shape. How come they are not worth 600 yuan?"
Already."
Earl Ying has never lost in playing tricks, "Do you think I have little knowledge, or my brother Lin Daguan has little knowledge? Not to mention they are not courtesans, even if they are courtesans, how much are they worth? They are like this, each of them will give
150 guan for you is considered good, and 300 guan for two at most."
"No, at least 500 strings."
"300 strings."
"500 strings."
Lin Yi suddenly stretched out his folding fan and stopped the two arguing, "Just 500."
Mrs. Zhang immediately smiled.
"Bring the two of them their physical deeds." Lin Yi directly stretched out his hand.
The two women's deeds of sale were in the hands of the housekeeper and he handed them over immediately. Lin Yi took out a bunch of jiaozi from his sleeve. At first, the jiaozi ranged from one to ten. During the Shenzong period, there were only two jiaozi, five and ten.
Well, these are all 10-guan bills in Lin Yi's hand.
Count out 50 cards and hand them over.
"The contract and the goods are cleared."
Zhang Yuanwai quickly took the money and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the contract has been cleared. Now the golden lotus and anemone belong to Mr. Lin."
Lin Yi looked at the guards of the Zhang Mansion who were still holding the two women. The two guards immediately let go of their hands when Lin Yi saw them.
Pan Jinlian quickly grabbed her sister's hand and pulled her to stand behind Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked at Zhang Yuanwai and said with a smile: "Zhang Yuanwai, I heard that you want to ask me for a loan. How much do you plan to borrow?"
Zhang Yuanwai finally remembered the business and immediately said: "Ah, yes, something happened at home. Mr. Lin Daguan also heard about it. To be honest with you, my two children were kidnapped by water bandits. The robbers wanted to
The ransom of 5,000 guan, I can barely raise 1,000 guan by myself, and I plan to borrow 4,000 guan from you."
In order to avoid borrowing money from loan sharks, the Zhang family did not want to take the batch of silk and satin. The main reason was that the interest rate was too high, and the batch of silk and satin could not earn such a high interest at all, so it was better to give up.
Lin Yi nodded, "No problem, 4,000 yuan is nothing."
Yuan Zhang was overjoyed, and Mrs. Zhang also had a smile on her face. Now her son was saved, but Lin Yi's next words made the smiles on their faces freeze.
"Mortgage the shop and land and make a profit of six cents per month."
Zhang Yuanwai said with a trembling voice: "No, yesterday we said five cents profit, why did it become six cents profit? This is too high."
Lin Yi spread his hands.
"Follow the market. Zhang Yuanwai, who has been in business for so many years, will not understand this principle. Now that you are in a hurry for money, I will naturally raise the price. Otherwise, it is called usury."
In addition to Yuan Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, Zhang's housekeeper, Pan Jinlian, Earl Ying and Xie Xida, they all looked at Lin Yi with wide eyes.
My heart says, do you want to say it so straightforwardly?
this,
This is obviously a scam.
Member Zhang was shaking with anger.
But they didn’t lie to you, the price was clearly marked, it’s up to you whether you want to borrow it or not.
Next to him, Earl Ying tried his best to suppress his laughter.
Pan Jinlian looked at the official Lin in front of her, and saw that he made Zhang Yuanwai so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She felt so comfortable in her heart. The man looked so handsome now.
