Ge Wanjin is sitting in the living room of the Sun family. He is in his forties, has a square face, and holds an iron pleated fan in his hand. Although he is not tall, he is somewhat imposing. Standing behind Ge Wanjin
There were four burly men with swords on their waists. They were his followers and the guardian disciples of Ge Mansion.
Butler Ge was very proud. He only spent less than 300 taels to buy the IOU, and with just one word, the Miss Sun family could not sell the land and had to submit. His method was so clever that it was really worth it.
Proud. In less than three or four days, Sun Qiaoyun will obediently sit on a sedan chair and marry into the Ge family. If he accomplishes this, the fourth master will definitely reward him heavily.
Not long after, Sun Qiaoyun came back, and her sister Sun Xiaoyun followed behind.
Sun Qiaoyun walked into the room, bowed to Ge Wanjin, and said: "My little lady went to the medicine garden just now, but she made Butler Ge wait for a long time."
Ge Wanjin took a look at the woman in front of him and saw that although she was plainly dressed and had no makeup on her face, she had a plain face and a dignified manner. She did have the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family and had a unique charm. Although she had met Miss Sun's family before,
Several times, but every time he saw this little girl, Ge Wanjin couldn't help but sincerely admire Master Ge Si's vision in choosing women.
He chuckled and said: "Actually, I didn't want to come here. It's just that Miss Sun owes the owner four hundred taels of silver for quite some time. The fourth master said a few days ago that he wants to take it back as soon as possible.
The housekeeper of the Ge Mansion has to come to ask for it because of his duties, please don't take it offence, Miss."
Sun Qiaoyun said: "I think Butler Ge also knows the current situation of the Sun family. My two sisters make a living by cultivating medicinal fields. There has been a severe drought this year and many medicinal herbs have died. There is really no income. Is there any money I owe you to your master?
Can you please ask Steward Ge to grant you some more time, and Sun Qiaoyun will return it immediately as soon as he raises the money."
Ge Wanjin's face darkened and he said: "You said the same thing last time. I saw how pitiful your sister was, so I agreed to give you a month's grace to sell your homestead to raise money. If you don't pay back the money this time, I will be considered soft-hearted.
The fourth master wants to blame me, but I can't bear it, so I have to ask Miss Sun to come with us and go to Gejiabao to explain to the fourth master!"
Before Sun Qiaoyun could answer, her sister Sun Xiaoyun had already shouted: "You are such a black-hearted housekeeper. You don't allow others to buy our Sun family's homestead, so we can't raise money. Now you want your sister to go with you. You must be uneasy."
You’re kind, but my sister won’t go!”
Ge Wanjin's face became even worse and he said: "You yellow-haired girl is so rude! Ge Mou has good intentions and has repeatedly forgiven your sisters' debts. You actually don't know what is good and can't raise money, and you dare to insult me!"
Sun Xiaoyun said: "Your kindness is worse than that crow! My sister just doesn't have the money to pay you back. Even if she sues the government, the most she can do is use my Sun family's house and medicine field to pay off the debt. You don't want my sister to come to your Ge family."
Fort'go!"
Ge Wanjin smiled coldly and said: "I, 'Gejiabao', belong to a Jianghu gang. Of course I will not go to the government if something happens to me. If I don't repay the money I owe, my disciples will do it."
Deal with it. Miss Sun, if you are not willing to come with me, my disciples are not good at it and cannot control the severity of their actions. If I accidentally hurt your precious sister, I will really feel sorry for you!"
Sun Xiaoyun wanted to say more, but was stopped by her sister.
Just listen to Sun Qiaoyun say: "My Sun family is also a well-educated family. Naturally, we know the principle of repaying debts and will never refuse to pay them. It's just that Butler Ge Da promised to extend the debt for one month.
, It has only been twenty-seven days now, and there are still three days left before the deadline is up. If I still can't raise the money by then, how about going to 'Gejiapu' with you?"
Ge Wanjin smiled and said: "Sure enough, Miss Sun understands the truth. I know that the debt is due in three days. I came here today just to remind the two young ladies. From my point of view, Miss Sun does not have to wait until three days."
After the day, our fourth master is very talkative and has a good impression of the eldest lady. As long as you go, the fourth master can forgive your debts with just one sentence, so why bother to sell your house and land again? Even if you are here, you can save yourself from having to come again.
Just an errand to go back to."
Sun Qiaoyun said: "Qiaoyun is really sorry for making Butler Ge have such a hard time. However, since our Sun family owes us a lot of silver, we will pay it back in full. I also ask Butler Ge to come back in three days."
Ge Wanjin stared at Sun Qiaoyun's face closely, and after a moment, he said: "Since Miss Sun insists, I am not afraid of hard work. However, I would like to make it clear that my 'Gejiabao' is also ranked high in Hunan."
Our powerful family has our power within a hundred miles, and Miss Sun is a wealthy eldest lady, so don’t even think about sneaking away, otherwise if you are caught, everyone’s face will look bad!”
Sun Qiaoyun said: "Steward Ge's words are serious. Where can we two weak women run away?"
Ge Wanjin nodded and said, "As long as you understand."
He turned around and ordered: "Ge Tong, Ge Ba! You two will stay here and follow Miss Sun these few days to take care of her. Don't cause any accidents to happen to her sisters!"
The two burly men behind Butler Ge claimed that they were.
Ge Wanjin left two servants behind and wanted to guard the Sun sisters as prisoners!
Sun Xiaoyun could no longer hold back and shouted: "Ge Peipi, don't go too far and treat us as little thieves!"
Ge Wanjin chuckled and said: "I left two people to protect your sisters because of your safety. If something happens to Miss Sun these days, I won't be able to explain it to the Fourth Master."
Sun Qiaoyun said: "My sister and I are the only two people living in this courtyard now. It's inconvenient for these two men to stay here. My sister can't afford to entertain them with food and drink. I also asked Butler Ge to let them go back."
Ge Wanjin smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter. These two are just servants and do not need Miss Sun to entertain them."
He turned his head and ordered: "You two usually stay outside the Sun Mansion. You are not allowed to come in and disturb Miss Sun. You are also not allowed to let other people enter. You only follow Miss Sun when she goes out. Do you understand?
Already?"
The two big men nodded in agreement.
…
Butler Ge Da took the people away, leaving only two servants, Ge Tong and Ge Ba, guarding the door of the Sun family's old house, like two door gods.
Watching "Ge Peipi" walk away, Sun Qiaoyun took his sister to the back house and walked into the bedroom.
After closing the door behind him, Sun Qiaoyun said to his sister:
"It seems that we can no longer stay here. Go and pack the soft clothes and clothes you can take with you. We will leave Changsha tonight!"
Sun Xiaoyun shouted: "Great, I've wanted to leave a long time ago, so I don't have to be bullied by those bad guys anymore!"
She thought for a while and then said: "But there are two bad guys guarding the door. How are we going to get out?"
Sun Qiaoyun said: "We will prepare a table of wine and food at dusk. There is also a bag of boiled hemp in my room. Mix it with the wine and food to coax them to eat. Once the hemp has poured out on them, we can go out."
Sun Xiaoyun clapped her hands and said: "This is a great plan! Sister really has a way!"
Sun Qiaoyun said: "Go and pack your things quickly, only pick up things that are light and easy to carry. I'll go sit in the living room so as not to make the two people outside the door suspicious."
Sun Xiaoyun nodded in agreement.
Returning to the living room and sitting down on the chair, Sun Qiaoyun frowned and looked at the door in a daze. In front of her sister just now, she acted quite calmly and confidently, but in Sun Qiaoyun's heart, she was in a daze.
But I really didn’t have much confidence in my escape this time.
Moreover, even if they can escape Changsha, where the two sisters will settle down is still a problem.
He could only go to the capital. His father, Sun Duhe, had been an official in the capital for many years when he was still alive. He had many close colleagues and subordinates in the Dongchang Jinyiwei Yamen. Several of them had visited the Sun family's old house. Sun Qiaoyun had also met them when he was a child.
.Now that the two sisters of the Sun family are in trouble, they have gone to seek refuge with these uncles. Maybe someone is willing to take them in.
And Sun Qiaoyun still has a dozen taels of silver in his hand. If he saves a little money, it will be enough for the two sisters to go to the capital.
Having made up their minds to go to the capital, the only remaining question was whether they could escape from Changsha Mansion. If they could defeat the two servants outside the door, the two sisters went to the horse and carriage stall outside the city gate to rent a carriage.
, ran hundreds of miles overnight, maybe he could escape the sphere of influence of the "Ge Family Fort". If the Ge family found out tomorrow and tried to chase him, they would be unable to pursue him without knowing the direction.
Thinking of this, Sun Qiaoyun raised his head and looked at the two door gods outside the door, but suddenly found a young man in white standing outside the door chatting with Ge Tong and Ge Ba. Behind the young man in white, there was another
The little maid is holding two horses in her hands.
Sun Qiaoyun was a little curious in her heart, but the living room of the Sun family's mansion was far away from the door, and the voices could not be transmitted. She had no way of knowing what they were talking about, so she could only watch from a distance.
But I saw the young man in white chatting happily with the two door gods. After chatting for about half a stick of incense, he walked in the door with a happy face. The little maid tied the horse to the tree outside the door and followed the young man in white.
The young master entered the door.
Previously, "Ge Peipi" had ordered Ge Tong and Ge Ba not to allow anyone else to enter, but now these two people stood aside and watched the white-clothed young man and the little maid enter with smiles on their faces.
Don't stop.
Walking closer, Sun Qiaoyun took a closer look at the young man in white, and saw that he was a bit thin and average-looking. He was wearing a snow-white silk gown, white trousers, and a pair of satin-finished and gold-embroidered cocked-toe boots. His clothes were quite luxurious.
Sophisticated.
Sun Qiaoyun was once our young lady, so she had some eyesight. She could see the suet-fat jade embedded in the silk scarf on this person's head, the ivory bone fan in her hand, and the six or seven gold, jade and agate finger rings on her fingers.
, are all things of little value. It seems that he looks like a rich man who is covered in gold and jade, and must be a dandy young master from a wealthy family.
The maid behind him was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a moon-white dress that was very neat, and she had two buns on her head, making her look very well-behaved.
Seeing the young man in white walking through the courtyard towards the living room, Sun Qiaoyun quickly stood up to greet him.
I heard the young man in white cupping his hands and saying, "Xiao Ke Hua Bu Shi, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting! But I don't know that this young lady is Miss Sun, the owner of the house here?"
