Last time I mentioned that Baochai originally wanted to save the Xue family's business, so she embezzled the 40 taels of silver that Jia's mother sent to Tanchun to ask her to arrange for the marriage of the concubine Yuan. The price will be lowered, so that all the goods she buys will become sluggish goods, and they will not be able to be sold at all. Seeing that the day when the mansion uses silver has come again, Baochai has no choice but to come to see Xue Biao, only hoping Xue Biao was able to lend him some money because of his relatives' affection.

Xue Biao understood her reason for coming, but pretended not to know, just smiled lightly and said, "How much do you plan to borrow? How long do you want to borrow? What will you take as collateral?" He would lend her money for no reason.

Baochai didn't expect Xue Biao to say such a thing. He originally thought that Xue Biao was trying to save himself some face. Now that he heard this, he could only say: "Brother, why do you say that? You and I are also a family." How can such a philistine.

Xue Biao shook his head slightly: "Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention you and I are just distant relatives, so we can't talk about a family. If you really need it urgently, I can lend it to you, but you should use your property As a mortgage, you should pay back the principal with interest in the future. Second grandma, I am a businessman, and you are also a descendant of a businessman. You should understand that this businessman will not do business at a loss. If you want me to lend you money for free , this is impossible."

Hearing this, Baochai felt a little displeased, but she couldn't criticize. Just like what Xue Biao said, this businessman is like this, so it doesn't matter at all. All things come first, and she thought that Xue Biao would at least I also want to give myself a little face, but I didn't expect Xue Biao to be so disrespectful to himself, so he said: "Then what do you need as collateral?"

Xue Biao glanced at Baochai: "How much money do you want to borrow?" He didn't answer directly, but asked her first with a smile.

Baochai gritted her teeth: "40 taels." When she didn't flinch, she could only speak ruthlessly.

There seemed to be a trace of surprise on Xue Biao's face: "Second Grandma, are you kidding me, what do you want 40 for?"

Baochai's face changed, and then she returned to her indifferent way: "You just answer me, yes or no."

Xue Biao glanced at Baochai, then groaned for a while with his hands behind his back, and then said lightly: "Yes, I can afford 40, and even a little more, but I want your Xue family's Jinling pawnshop. , Jinling Bank, Jinling Rice Bank, and Jinling Pharmacy are four stores that serve as mortgages."

Baochai's face changed: "You are too ruthless, any of the four shops is a gold shop, as long as you give it time, you will definitely be able to earn back the silver."

Xue Biao smiled slightly and said, "I didn't say yes, I said it was a mortgage. As long as your Second Grandma Bao can pay off the 40 taels of silver with principal and interest within the specified time, I will naturally not move." Your Xue family has every penny, but if you can't return it within the specified time, then these four stores can only be mine."

Baochai gritted her teeth and looked at Xue Biao: "How much time will you give me?"

Xue Biao smiled slightly, then pondered for a while before saying lightly: "I know the house is busy, how about it, three months, if you can't return the invitation within three months, this shop will belong to me, how about it?"

Baochai was very unhappy at the moment, but she couldn't count even, because the 40 taels of silver was really needed, so she thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will follow what you said."

Xue Biao nodded: "In this case, Second Grandma, please follow me into the back room to write the contract. After the contract is signed, I will ask someone to give you the bank note in person."

Hearing Xue Biao's easy words, Baochai knew that Xue Biao's funds must be rich, otherwise he would not have such a relaxed tone, and gave the bank note to himself face to face, even if his family had a solid foundation, ask for it It seems that it takes two days to prepare the 40 bank notes, but this Xue Biao is so relaxed, she has an illusion that Xue Biao seems to have been waiting for her to speak, could it be I became the turtle in his hands, but looking at Xue Biao's expression, I felt a little unpredictable for a while.

Xue Biao naturally saw Baochai's hesitation, he smiled slightly and said nothing, walked into the back room, and didn't say much, just waiting for Baochai to make his own decision, anyway, even if Baochai was unhappy, so what, she was destined He had to borrow it, because if he didn't borrow it, he wouldn't be able to repay the money he embezzled without authorization, so Xue Biao was not in a hurry, but was waiting, waiting for Baochai to speak.

Seeing Xue Biao sitting beside him, Baochai only drank tea comfortably, so he smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xue has such a solid fortune." There seemed to be a bit of a tentative tone in these words.

Xue Biao didn't take it seriously, just smiled slightly, and then glanced at Baochai: "Second Grandma, this is naturally because my Xue family has always managed well. gone."

Xue Biao's disapproval made Baochai feel suspicious, so he smiled and said: "Of course I have to write, why not write it." Now that I have come to this position, how can I not write it? , let’s talk about it in three months.

Seeing Baochai say this, Xue Biao asked someone to bring the four treasures of the study, and then Baochai sat aside and wrote the contract for Xue Biao to see. Then he nodded and waved his hand, only to see a shopkeeper take out a box, Xue Biao asked him to put the box down, then waved him to leave, and then said to Baochai: "Second Grandma can take a look, this is a real A bank note of 40 taels of silver."

Baochai nodded, opened the box cautiously, and clicked, and it turned out that there were forty 1 taels of silver notes, so he kept them away, and then said to Xue Biao: "So we have agreed like this, three After a month, I will definitely come to pay back the 40."

Xue Biao nodded, and then made a gesture of please.

Baochai didn't say any more, just got up to say goodbye, and then left. As soon as Baochai left, Jia Huan came out and just pouted, "Brother Xue Biao, why did you lend money to that wicked woman."

Xue Biao smiled and said, "Brother Huan, we can only punish her if we borrow her money."

Jia Huan looked at Xue Biao incomprehensibly: "Why, by borrowing her money, isn't it helping her through difficulties?"

Xue Biao smiled and said: "Three months, I'm afraid she will obediently give up these four profitable Xue family shops to me in less than three months, and what I want is all the property of her Xue family, so Naturally, she will not be given a chance to stand up."

Jia Huan glanced at Xue Biao, then nodded, "As long as I don't let this wicked woman go."

Xue Biao smiled slightly and said: "How can I let her go." He didn't forget his mother's appearance at the beginning, and the last look of despair. Get everything back on you.

Not to mention the fighting skills between Xue Biao and Baochai, after only two days, the court issued a judgment on Shui Chi and a group of Shandong officials. Shui Si was deprived of the title of King of Qin, and everyone in the mansion was classified as lowly, but Liu Taipin was not dealt with, and then Shui Chi's family property was also confiscated, and Shui Chi's title was naturally eliminated. Of course, Shui Meng did not kill Shui Chi, but imprisoned Shui Chi in the sky prison, and no one was allowed to visit him, and he was not allowed to come out for life.

Shui Meng did this in consideration of Shui Chaoxi's feelings after all, but Shui Meng is not a soft-hearted king. As a king, he should have the power to kill, so he will not be too merciful, so Shui Chi was imprisoned for life.

After dealing with Shuiqi, there are a lot of Shandong officials, big and small. After this treatment, at least nearly a hundred officials were implicated, or killed, or demoted, or demoted. In short, King Zhongshun, Shuiji originally The power in Shandong was exhausted, not to mention that Shuimeng even sent many people from Jinke to Shandong. In this way, the whole Shandong can be considered to have entered Shuimeng's control.

Although Shuiji and King Zhongshun were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could not resist. After all, it was a fluke for them to be able to escape, otherwise, they would have ended up in the same fate as Shuisi. They thought that they would go to court with their own concerns, and then rode back to the court. government.

King Zhongshun was thinking on the way back, he didn't understand what happened to him, and Shui Rong and the others found a loophole. Just as he was thinking, he saw a woman coming out of an embroidery shop, who seemed to be planning to go back to the car beside her. , King Zhongshun hurriedly pulled his rein, then dismounted and said, "Miss Qingwen."

It turns out that what King Zhongshun saw was Qingwen.

Qingwen paused for a moment, then looked left and right, saw that it was King Zhongshun, her eyes turned cold, and she said indifferently: "It turns out to be King Zhongshun, do you know what orders you have for calling the servants?"

King Zhongshun seemed a little at a loss: "Where Miss Qingwen is going, I will send the girl there."

Qingwen said lightly: "I'm going back to the Beijing Palace, why, is the prince also going to the Beijing Palace?"

King Zhongshun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss, stop talking like that, my Prince Zhongshun's mansion is not far away, why don't you go and have a rest."

Qingwen sneered and said: "I dare not, I am a servant, how dare I go to Zhongshun Palace, the prince should not block my way to be true." Then she didn't care, just got in the car and left.Seeing Qingwen's car leaving coldly, King Zhongshun's eyes became a little complicated. In fact, he didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since he met Qingwen once, he wanted to see her again. Could it be that , Is it really the best that you can't get?He was a little helpless.

"My lord, whose girl is that, who doesn't give you face like this, and asks the servant to bring someone to invite her?" The follower on the side is a person who can read people's eyes.

King Zhongshun glanced at the entourage, and then said: "You stop this idea for me, don't make her idea, she is one of the female officers next to the Countess, how many heads do you have, even this king is not If you don’t dare to offend people easily, if you encounter them on the road in the future, you should be more careful, otherwise don’t blame me for not warning everyone.”

"Yes." Several followers agreed, but King Zhongshun couldn't let it go, and he himself thought it was ridiculous. He had lived such an age, and he had never seen any kind of woman, but But he only remembered this woman who didn't take him seriously. Could it be that this was God's punishment for him.Thinking of this, he sighed and sadly went back to Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

Besides, Qingwen went back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion angrily, and by chance Daiyu and Shui Rong were talking, seeing Qingwen like this, Daiyu was surprised and said: "Sister Qingwen, what happened, she became so angry, but who made you angry, Come on, let me judge for you."

Qingwen pouted and said, "On a day when I really didn't go out, I met that bastard King Zhongshun."

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qingwen and said, "Okay, why is Sister Qingwen so angry, but King Zhongshun just told me if he did anything wrong to you, good or bad, I can't let you go." If he succeeds, it is natural to punish him well."

Qingwen sighed and said: "That's not true, it's just that when I saw this King Zhongshun, I remembered my mother's suffering, so I was very angry."

Daiyu sighed, and then said: "I know, don't worry about Sister Wen, sooner or later she will let him repay this debt, as the saying goes, people are doing it, but God is watching. Retribution, of course, will be arranged."

Qingwen nodded. Fortunately, Qingwen is also a straightforward person, and her anger always comes and goes quickly, so in this short time, the anger disappeared. Daiyu naturally smiled slightly, and After comforting her, he let her go back to her room to rest.

Seeing Qingwen leave, Daiyu sighed and said: "At first I thought that this trip to Shandong could get rid of King Zhongshun, but I didn't want to let him escape. It's really a pity. It seems that he is also a fate." It shouldn't be done."

After hearing this, Shui Rong walked over with a smile: "There's no need to care about it. At the beginning, Aunt Xian's revenge was naturally to be avenged, but now he is temporarily not moving him. After all, the officials in Shandong have already made the case for the Jin Ke's selection." Most of them have been transferred away, and this Jinling should take a break. What's more, there is no need to deal with the King Zhongshun for the time being, and what he has to deal with now is the matter of Helian Muzhen. Who would have thought that Rouran Helian Muzhi would actually be assassinated and died. In this way, this Helian Muzhen is going back to China. Now I heard that he and Princess Yuanhe have a little affection. He went."

Daiyu pondered for a while after hearing this: "Then according to what you said, wouldn't it be that Yuan He is going to get married?"

Shui Rong nodded: "It's inevitable. Fortunately, Yuanhe and Nahelian Muzhen also have feelings, so you can rest assured that she will be the mother of Rouran Kingdom, but in this way, the female officer who follows is also Indispensable."

After hearing this, Daiyu pondered for a while: "According to what you said, the female official who welcomes the spring will also follow her."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Actually, Yingchun is just an accompanying female officer. If she doesn't like it, she can stay, but I heard that she seems to be willing to invite her to go to Rouran together."

After hearing this, Daiyu laughed and said, "According to what you said, I'm going to invite them to the house for a talk. Whether it's good or bad, I have to listen to what I think."

Shui Rong nodded slightly: "It's good for you to ask, especially that Yuan He's thoughts, don't ignore them."

Daiyu nodded: "Okay, let me ask Yuanhe, if he really likes that Helian Muzhen, it doesn't matter if he is an enemy."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "You can bring it up yourself, originally the emperor wanted me to discuss it with you, and wanted you to ask Na Yuanhe."

Daiyu glanced at Shui Rong, then sighed and said, "Don't say that Yuan and I look good, the main thing is that Yingchun's companion reads, after all, it's for Xi'er, it is said that Xi'er and that Yingchun's companion read Feelings are good, no matter what, let everyone get together."

Shui Rong laughed after hearing this: "That's good, it seems that you are also a good sister-in-law."

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, then blushed, only spat once, then looked at Shui Rong and said, "What are you talking about, you actually said something like this, who is your sister-in-law, and she didn't marry you." Those few words are whispers, if you don't listen carefully, you still can't hear them.

Seeing Daiyu being so busy, Shui Rong said: "Of course they won't marry me, as long as you, Dai'er, marry me in the future."

Daiyu heard Shui Rong still say such words, she blushed and stomped her feet: "I won't tell you anymore, I'll go find Xi'er, and then run out directly." Seeing Daiyu's shy look, Shui Rong smiled knowingly again, Daiyu will reach the end of her life in one more year, and it's almost time for her to survive at last.Well, one year later Daiyu will be his wife, and Shui Rong is naturally very happy.

Daiyu went to see Xichun, told Xichun about Yingchun, and then said: "Tomorrow I invited Princess Yuanhe, so that you sisters can get together."

Xichun nodded, and then said with a smile: "Actually, in that mansion, the second elder sister has always been good at chess, and they just treat it as a temporary pastime, but who would have thought that this good chess player has always had a lot of valleys in his heart, so I I believe that since Second Sister has made such a choice, she naturally has her own thoughts."

Daiyu nodded: "I'm not very familiar with this second elder sister, but in my impression, she is the girl in the mansion who is only in my eyes besides you."

Xichun smiled: "So, please ask sister Lin to invite the second sister tomorrow, so that we sisters can reunite."

Daiyu nodded: "Of course it is possible, don't worry, I will arrange this matter."

So on the second day, Daiyu posted a post asking Princess Yuanhe and Yingchun to come together, and Princess Yuanhe and Yingchun naturally also came.

Seeing Daiyu, after a while of politeness, everyone went into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to talk.

Looking at everything in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Princess Yuanhe smiled and said, "I always knew that Brother Beijing has a rare courtyard here, and people are not allowed to enter it on weekdays. It is also the place where the Duchess lives, saying that everything here is one Waiting, now I know that being famous is not as good as meeting, how can I say first-class, it is a rare thing, just look at the stones here for bedding, and the bamboo in the courtyard, if you don’t put a lot of thought into it, it’s still unobtainable.”

Daiyu smiled and said, "What are you talking about, you think I'm the Queen Mother's fairyland here, see what you say."

Yuan He said with a smile: "I'm afraid that even this fairyland may not be as exquisite as the Duchess here."

Daiyu glanced at Yuanhe after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "If the princess likes it, I will ask the prince to extract the materials, and only give it to Na Helian and Mu Zhen. In the future, you will go to Rouran Kingdom. You can also have a yard of your own.”

Yuan He was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "I know what the Countess meant by calling me this time, and I also understand that the Countess cares about me."

Daiyu nodded: "Actually, both the emperor and the prince care about the princess, so they want to ask the princess what she means, but they are going to the Rouran country."

Yuan He bowed his head, pondered for a long time before saying: "If I am not happy, will the emperor brother and Wang brother agree to me?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Why don't you agree? If you don't like it, there will always be an official woman who will take your place. After all, getting married is inevitable, but if you want to come to the emperor, you will still respect your idea of ​​being a younger sister." Daiyu said it very freely, as if she was saying that the weather is fine today.

Yuan He smiled slightly, then thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I feel at ease after hearing what the Countess said. In fact, I know that since it's a marriage, it's good or bad that the princess will go. If I don't go, naturally It means Min and them go, but after all I am familiar with Na Helian and Mu Zhen, so I should go."

Yingchun on the side shook her head and said: "Princess said lightly, she even accepted the full moon scimitar that represents the mother of the country, and she said something cheap, so it can be seen that it is to make the duchess feel sad and worried." After finishing speaking She pursed her lips into a smile, it seemed that she did it on purpose, deliberately wanting to reveal the secrets of Yuanhe and Nahelian Muzhen.

Daiyu laughed and said, "So the princess is bullying us." After speaking, she laughed again, but she was not angry.

After Yuan He heard this, he just licked his tongue, then looked at Dai Yu embarrassedly and said, "The Countess won't be angry with me."

Daiyu pursed her lips and laughed: "Where did I make you so idle, I am happy if you are happy, and I have completed the task of persuading the emperor and the prince. I was still worried, how can I persuade you?" What about?" Daiyu still cares about her feelings, no wonder what she just said was so easy.

Princess Yuanhe was stunned for a moment, then stomped her feet and said, "So the duchess deliberately lied to me just now, see if I'll spare you." As she said that, she rushed forward to scratch her itch, Daiyu was always ticklish, so naturally she dodged Get up, and play around like this.

Xichun on the side took this opportunity to walk up to Yingchun: "Second sister, I heard that sister Lin said that you volunteered to go to Rouran together?"

Yingchun smiled quietly, and then nodded: "Yes, I want to go to Rouran with the princess." This idea seems to have been decided long ago, so there are not many twists and turns on her face.

Xichun nodded after hearing this, and then continued: "Second sister has never been so assertive, why is she so assertive?"
