Leisurely Transmigration Life - Chapter 470
Hearing the little servant girl’s return, Xu rushed to the door and said with a smile, “how can my sister come here when she’s free?”
Xu’s question is not because of the bad relationship between them, but because of her identity, Yulian has always been strict and never comes to the outer court at will. When they were on the boat, they often got together to talk and do some work. When they arrived at Rongcheng, however, most of them went to find Yulian, so they asked.
The jade lotus returns a way “isn’t this something mutually beg to come?”? It’s said that brother Yang is going back to the capital. I have something here. I want to ask brother yang to bring something to my mother’s family. ”
As soon as he heard about it, Xu said, “it’s easy to say. Just stick the seal on the things. Our family leaders will go back to the countryside to celebrate the new year. They just pass by your village, and then they will take them for you.”
Yulian said with a smile, “in this case, I’d like to thank my second brother and sister-in-law first.” Then he complimented, “the second sister-in-law was worried about Fang’s dowry last time. It’s a big business profit. Yang’s second brother has run several times. You even have the money to marry your daughter-in-law.”
Xu sighed softly, “Oh, I hope so.”
Seeing that her face was not quite right, Yulian asked, “why is the second sister-in-law’s face not right? She was fine yesterday, but what kind of embarrassment did she encounter?”
Xu asked the little maids to go out and said, “I can talk to my sister about this. Aren’t we buying goods these days? Originally, he bought almost all his goods. This morning, I saw a lot of cloth, including Dorothy, feather yarn, feather satin and various Western cloth. We wanted to buy less goods, but the foreign businessman refused to take them apart. He only wanted to pack them and sell them together. The total cost was 20000 taels of silver. But the silver that my cousin gave me was already in other goods two days ago. We managed to collect ten thousand taels of silver, but there was still half of it. I said no, he also said that this batch of goods is a rare good product. It’s the first time for foreign businessmen to come to Dakang. There are no other old customers and the price is very affordable. He’s afraid he won’t have such an opportunity after missing this one. ”
Hearing this, Yulian said with a smile, “brother Yang always has a way of doing things. He always wants to order this batch of goods for the sake of the future. It’s not that bad. Good students can always make it up. ”
Xu said, “for people like us, that’s a huge sum of money. Our family is not in this number. I said I would go to borrow some more from my cousin, but the head of the family would not allow me to make trouble for her. He’s pestering the foreign businessman to see if he can make it cheaper. I’m just going to pick up my head and some ancient books and inkstones that my husband collected before. First, I’ll pawn some silver for him in case of emergency. ”
Yulian frowned and said, “no matter how much money you live or die, there are few pawnbrokers who don’t cheat. If you live or die, these things will be hard to redeem.”
Xu sighed, “well, what can I do? It’s rare that our family leader wants to do something wholeheartedly. I have to help him even if I break the pot and sell iron. ”
Before she heard the words, she saw Yulian holding her hand. “Why should my sister-in-law say that she is so miserable? It’s only ten thousand taels of silver. How can she break the pot and sell iron? I understand my sister-in-law’s unwillingness to trouble her cousin. As it happens, I have also saved some private houses over the years. I can still get 10000 Liang. Anyway, I don’t need it for a while and a half. I’d better give it to my second brother first. I’ll go back and get it now. ”
Then he got up and was about to go out, but he was caught by Xu’s hand. “I won’t say anything polite. Thank you for trusting our family.”
“We’ve known each other for so many years. We know each other well. What’s the matter with distrust. Well, time is running out. I’ll get the bank note first. You can send it to the second brother earlier. ”
But Yang Lu over there spent a lot of money to buy out the Chinese, and with the name of the general office, he stabilized the foreign businessmen for the time being. However, when the foreign businessman came to Dakang for the first time, he was also extremely careful. When he saw Yang Lu saying that he would not take cash for a long time, he was also a little suspicious. Although Yang Lu pretended to be indifferent, he was also murmuring in his heart. He didn’t know if the mother-in-law could raise ten thousand taels of silver. I’ll be looking forward to Xu’s collecting all the money. After all, this batch of goods is really rare. After all, these are all the painstaking efforts collected by her family over the years. There are all kinds of festival gifts sent leisurely and the best goods Yang Lu cut off from the shop. They were originally intended to pass on to her family. At noon, when the foreign businessmen couldn’t see the silver, they became impatient. They turned around and grumbled with the Chinese. After listening with a smile, he was just about to speak to Yang LV when a long follower of Yang LV came in from the outside, whispered two words in his ear, and then handed him a purse.
Yang Lu opened his wallet and saw that it was a twenty thousand taels silver note. He couldn’t say whether he was happy or lost. At this time, he didn’t know that the silver was borrowed by Yulian. He just thought that Xu had pawned all his valuable things.
After the settlement with the foreign businessmen, Yang Lu went back to his house in a hurry. He thought his house should be like a house with no family. I didn’t expect that when I entered the house, I found that there were only a few precious ornaments in my family. Even Xu’s head was still wearing jewels. Yang LV was surprised and asked, “didn’t you pawn anything?”
Xu said with a quick smile, “I was just about to tell you about it. Originally, I was almost ready to go out. It happened that Lin’s sister came to see me when she had something to do. Seeing that I didn’t look well, she asked. I thought that she was not an outsider, so I told her the story. I didn’t expect that sister Lin didn’t show up very much on weekdays. After hearing that our family had lost 10000 taels of silver, she took the silver ticket to our family for emergency. I don’t know how to be grateful. ”
Yang LV pondered a little, and then said, “the goods I have ordered are really good. Let people get some back. After a while, you can choose some good ones and send them to your cousin and Lin’s sister. It’s also our idea. There is also Lin’s younger sister. You say that we have recorded her kindness. This silver is just like that of my cousin. It is regarded as her income, and she will get dividends in the future. ”
On hearing this, Xu couldn’t help feeling a little distressed. “Is this too much?”
Yang Lu glanced at her angrily, “if it wasn’t for the help of others, we could have sold this batch of goods so smoothly. I’ve calculated that according to the usual price in Beijing, this batch of goods can be at least quadrupled or quintupled, and the benefits can’t be enjoyed by our family alone. What’s more, if we treat her too leniently, we will not be happy to let her know. ”
Although Xu’s family is a bit mean occasionally, he still listens to people’s advice. After listening to his husband’s words, he says with a smile, “you’re right. If you don’t look at anything else, we should take care of their orphans and widows. I’m mean. It’s still the head of the family who does things openly! ” Then he stretched out a thumb and amused Yang Lv.
