The Major General's Country Wife

"My lord, shopkeeper Chen of the Civilian Medical Center is asking to see you."

Steward Wang asked Xu Guogong for instructions. He didn't know how this little shopkeeper, He De, dared to ask to see the Duke of Guo.

"Please, please."

Xu Guogong waved his big hand to invite someone in, and then he wondered why this person came to see him?

"Caomin pays homage to Xu Guogong."

Shopkeeper Chen saluted respectfully, with a calm expression a little disturbed, but also a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Please sit down."

His expression made Xu Guogong even more puzzled, but he must treat each other with courtesy, and he has been helping him at the border for many years, "If there is something to do, it's okay to say."

"Caomin has encountered difficulties recently. If it weren't for the danger of losing his family and property, Caomin would not want to come." Shopkeeper Chen was shocked, and his younger brother ordered him to obey.

"This is the herbal bill that Xu Guogong has owed for so many years. I ask Xu Guogong to be considerate. It is really a last resort."

Shopkeeper Chen took out a stack of receipts from his pocket, "Oh! I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would come to ask for debts, what a shame!"

He said it nicely, but he was actually very angry. If he didn't teach the Duke's mansion a lesson, he really couldn't express his anger in his heart.

Xu Guogong's heart skipped a beat. This is a door-to-door debt collection, something he has never experienced before, which made him blush, "It should have been paid long ago."

But how?

The imperial court has not allocated money, so where can he get so much money, "Tomorrow, the Japanese government will go to the Ministry of Households to urge the money, and try to get the money together as soon as possible."

"Hey!" Shopkeeper Chen shook his head, "Mr. Xu, don't count on the Ministry of Household Affairs. If they want to give it, how can they be so short of money?"

"After decades of dealings, when did the Caomin pay for their debts? Please don't embarrass yourself, Xu Guogong, and just treat the Caomin as you are benevolent and righteous to help the Caomin get through this difficult time."

"This." Xu Guogong couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and paced back and forth on the ground, knowing in his heart that it would be difficult to get money from the household department.

But thanks to shopkeeper Chen's support for so many years, Xu Jiajun has not been short of any herbal medicines, and they are supplied on time regardless of whether they have money or not.

Sometimes even when there is a shortage of food and military supplies, they will help each other out of righteousness, and there is no shortage of money and food.

But such a large amount of money, the Duke's mansion can't get it out, this is the most difficult part for Xu Guogong.

"Gaba Gaba."

Xu Guogong felt guilty and disturbed, and the two hands behind him, the crisp sound of pinching was very clear in the quiet study room, "The shopkeeper Chen is also forced to meet difficulties, and my country will definitely try my best to raise funds."

"Thank you, Xu Guogong." Shopkeeper Chen put down the teacup in his hand, and said gratefully: "The civilian medical center has survived this crisis, and will continue to supply the needs of the border in the future."

"Hmm." Xu Guogong frowned, is this a reminder or a threat?

He looked at shopkeeper Chen with much sharper eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly and analyzed carefully, no matter how he thought it was impossible.

Not to mention that you can get whatever you want at the border, and you haven't asked for a debt in decades, and you have to donate some every year.

No matter how thoughtful Xu Guogong was, he still couldn't have any doubts about shopkeeper Chen, "I will transfer all the silver taels in the mansion right now, and if there is a shortage, shopkeeper Chen will be tolerant for a few days."

"60 taels are owed, and Xu Guogong only needs to take out 30 taels today." Shopkeeper Chen also took a step back temporarily.

"Huh?" Xu Guogong's heart tightened.

"Zhao He." Xu Guogong summoned his followers to come in and ordered: "Look for Steward Wang, and bring the account book and all the cash in the house."

"Then invite the masters of each house and ask them to bring all the cash."

"Yes." Zhao He took the order to step back to work.

Shopkeeper Chen sat firmly on the side, feeling that his younger brother is really good at predicting things, Xu Guogong will definitely use his family's money to pay for it.

If the pressure is tighter, it will be more miserable. The Duke is not allowed to sell the business, so prepare as much silver as possible.

He has dealt with the Duke's Mansion for decades, and he has a certain understanding of Xu Guogong's way of life. It is also for this reason that shopkeeper Chen has no idea of ​​killing them all.

Prepare to take a step back for a few more days, this is enough to teach those pampered and arrogant guys a lesson, this rich life is the end.

"Master Wang." Steward Wang arrived first, holding the account book and a box in his hand, "There are still 1000 taels of silver in the official account of the mansion."

"That's all?" Xu Guogong couldn't believe it, he thought it would cost at least tens of thousands of taels.

"Leave the account book, go out." Xu Guogong waved his hand weakly.

Then some of Xu Guogong's sons came over, and Xu Guogong asked directly: "Can you bring the silver in your hand?"

"Take it." Several sons took out bank notes one after another, and the total amount was only more than 3 taels. Xu Guogong was a little dumbfounded.

He took out his banknotes and put together 11 taels. Xu Guogong was silent for a long time, "Go to various shops to pick up, and get back as much as you can.

When those who went to various shops to withdraw silver came back, they could barely scrape together 18 taels.

"Take these Chen shopkeepers first." Xu Guogong pushed 18 taels in front of him, seeing that he didn't express anything but remained silent.

Xu Guogong was helpless, Xu Jiajun would not be able to do without shopkeeper Chen in the future, even if he heard some sarcastic words, he would not mind.

He knew that shopkeeper Chen didn't make any money from him, and he donated a little profit to other military supplies. It can be said that without shopkeeper Chen, Xu's army would be much more difficult.

Xu Guogong left the book case, went to the bookshelf and took out a box, and he put it in front of shopkeeper Chen, "This is the deed of all the shops, farms and houses of the Duke's mansion, and I will put it with you first."

"Okay." Shopkeeper Chen stood up quickly, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Father." Xu Guogong's sons exclaimed. Isn't this the same as sending the Duke's mansion out?

Xu Changrui, the second son of Xu Guogong, took a step forward, "Father, please think again, this is not a trivial matter, if there is any difficulty, we can sit down and discuss it together."

"Yes." Xu Chongwen also said: "If the father has difficulties, he can tell his sons to find a way to share them, and the mortgage cannot be done."

"Don't say too much." Xu Guogong stopped them from talking. He was an upright man all his life, but he almost lost his face just for some money.

It is said that heroes are short-tempered and sons and daughters are affectionate, but Xu Guogong, a generation of famous generals who are dignified and important in the court, has bent his waist for five buckets of rice for many years.

The imperial court procrastinated and withheld deductions. No matter how rich and powerful the Duke's Mansion was, it could not withstand the consumption of tens of millions of soldiers. It was only because of the help of righteous people like shopkeeper Chen that he could persist.

He would rather lose everything in the Duke's Mansion than lose the help of shopkeeper Chen. The Xu family army can't do without him. For those who follow him through life and death, it's worth it!

"Professor Chen, just go about your own business, and come to collect the money in ten days." Xu Guogong said briskly.

……

"Woooooo."

The Duke's Mansion was gloomy, and everyone gathered in the main hall in despair.

Yun Changsheng tried his best to shrink himself, appreciating all this, and chuckled in his heart: "Crazy? Pull? Insufferable? Hahaha."

"Grandpa, how can you mortgage your family property." Yang's face was full of tears, but he didn't look much older in a while.

"That's the court's business, what has it to do with the government of our country?" Yang wiped away tears, eyes full of resentment, "That grassroots is so bold, he dared to come to collect debts, and even dared to accept the family business contract from the government of the country. Don't want to die?"

"Shut up." Xu Guogong frowned, and looked at Yang with dissatisfaction, "It's only natural to pay back the debt. If he doesn't ask me for the debt owed by Xu Guogong, who will he ask for?"

"Cough cough." Yun Changsheng covered his mouth and coughed twice, interrupting their conversation, arguing over and over to say such nonsense is meaningless, it's better to be more practical.

"Xu Guogong." Yun Changsheng took out the betrothal gift form from his pocket, "This is the betrothal gift form given to me by Mrs. Guogong's wife. It is said that this piece of paper is worth 1 taels of silver."

He said and handed it to Xu Guogong, "Take it and sell it, and I can pay off some debts."

Yun Changsheng looked at Yang Shi and Qian Shi again, and said, "Mrs. Guogong and Mrs. Dafang, tell the boy that there will be no receptions or banquets in the mansion, and the door of the mansion will be closed to prevent outsiders from knowing about the marriage."

"The boy is still a little annoyed that the dignified Duke's mansion has no rules and etiquette, even worse than a rural farmer."

When he said this, a touch of shyness appeared on his face, and a little blush climbed up his cheeks, making Yun Changsheng look even more well-behaved and weak.

"I still want to talk to Xu Guogong, even if it's like a farmer's wedding for a few taels of silver! I can use this 1 taels of betrothal gift list to pay for it."

Yun Changsheng raised his head, and looked directly at Xu Guogong with dark eyes, "But the Duke's house is in trouble, and the boy is willing to take out the gift list for free to pay off the debt, and the wedding has also been postponed."

With a "swish", everyone in the Duke's Mansion focused their attention on Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian. No one thought that the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be so shameless.

"Mr. Yang, Mrs. Qian." Xu Guogong was trembling angrily, and he finally managed to choke out a sentence, "Go to the ancestral hall and copy the scriptures to reflect, and you are not allowed to leave the ancestral hall without my order."

Yun Changsheng lowered his head, the timing he found was just right, otherwise Xu Guogong would not be so furious, and the punishment would not be painful.

"Grandpa." Yang looked at Xu Guogong in disbelief. She didn't expect him to be so heartless, and went into the ancestral hall to reflect on how she would have the face to face others. .

"The concubine is also for the good of the Duke's mansion. Since this kid came to the door, how many things have happened, and how much has our Duke's mansion been humiliated? He is a disaster star, a disaster star."

Pointing at Yun Changsheng, Yang said hoarsely, "Even if such a country boy dies a thousand times, he will not be able to make up for the reputation of the Duke's Mansion, and to keep him in the mansion, giving him a false name is the utmost benevolence. "

"That's right." Qian didn't care about property matters, and she absolutely couldn't enter the ancestral hall. "The Duke's mansion has fallen into this situation, and it's all because of this kid. If my father continues to keep him, the family will not be far away."

"Get out, get out immediately." Xu Guogong yelled: "Come here, they are not worthy of entering the Xu family's ancestral hall. They should all be sent back to their natal families, and they are not allowed to step into the Duke's mansion."

"what!"

"Pfft."

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Xu Guogong's sons knelt down and begged for mercy, "Father, the Duke's mansion is in turmoil now, so we can't make it worse!"

Hulala, everyone in the Duke's Mansion knelt down to beg for mercy, Yun Changsheng sat down on the chair with his head down, trying to make himself a transparent person.

He finally got his wish, seeing these arrogant people with their noble heads bowed and weeping uncontrollably.

Xu Guogong looked at these family members and said disappointedly: "These things have nothing to do with longevity, why do you make it difficult for him to bully a child."

Xu Guogong sat down on the chair, tearfully said, "You only want power and wealth, and that useless reputation, how do you know how much I have wasted to keep you?"

"Forget it, forget it." Xu Guogong was disheartened and didn't want to continue: "The ancestral hall should go back to her mother's house, let them choose!"

"Father, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare anymore." Qian knelt down on the ground, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to disobey her father anymore, and she won't interfere with Changfeng's marriage anymore. I beg you to spare my daughter-in-law this time."

"Grandpa." Yang's teary eyes pleaded, hoping that he would change his mind.

"Impossible." Xu Guogong walked away directly, "If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and no one can escape."
