The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 199
When Liu Xuer said the words, Liu Shu Liu Lin was not surprised, but all laughed.
Liu Lin asked, “What do you think?”
Liu Xuer said: “I wonder if I can ask the county magistrate to come forward and be a matchmaker or something? On the surface, asking for a good marriage is actually to put pressure on it. Yes, the people in the Hanlin mansion look down on Xiaoxiao. The county magistrate, but today is different from the past. They have to have the capital to maintain their loftiness. Today, the phoenix that has fallen is not as good as a chicken. They look down on the magistrate, and they dare to look down on it. It’s too much… Let’s use the county magistrate to put pressure on it. How?”
The willows and willows all groaned.
Liu Lin thought about it and shook his head: “We want the county magistrate to come forward, just don’t steal the chicken and lose the rice, the Hanlin mansion will not corrupt us here, and the county magistrate will be entangled there. Go… that county magistrate is not easy to instruct, and he has to pay the price.”
Liu Xuer said: “This is only a preliminary idea, of course, it must be discussed properly, which can not only settle the Hanlin House, but also prevent the county magistrate from corrupting us… What the county magistrate wants is Quan, what the Hanlin Mansion wants is money.”
The last sentence is called Liu Shu’s heart. Although he has just said something that can be overstated, he can’t imagine that Liu Xuer really has such a plan, and now it is not too much. , he said: “On the county magistrate’s side, what he really needs is power, but of course we can’t give him any power now… He is willing to deal with us now, also because he considers that our family may have an official in the future, but it is still It’s not a big deal, so he won’t put too much effort into our relationship. Lizheng’s matter is also because it’s a small effort for him, and it won’t hurt him at all, so he will send this favor, but If there are too many things to look for him, or it is relatively big, he will definitely consider it, is it worth it… Although the Hanlin Mansion has fallen, but Yu Wei is still there? At least it is enough to scare a county magistrate.”
Liu Lin nodded: “Brother is right.”
Liu Xu’er also felt that Liu Shu’s words made sense, and Liu Lin’s words before should be vigilant, nodded and said: “Yeah, really want to be foolproof… Before , Shicheng is already considered a wealthy person in Fengxian County, but he still tries to avoid dealing with the government. Recently, the county magistrate gave us a good look. It is.”
The willow tree nodded and said: “Yes, why don’t you send someone to find Shicheng now? He has many ideas, maybe there is a way.”
Liu Lin just said: “Don’t be in such a hurry, it seems like something important…”
Liu Xuer nodded in agreement, and immediately turned her head to call someone outside, and asked Xiaobei to go out to find Shicheng and find her home. Then he turned to Liu Lin and said, “Of course we should do it as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.”
Liu Lin laughed. In fact, he felt a little guilty. The more he said it, the more he felt guilty.
Liu Xuer smiled and said to him: “Second brother, you don’t have to feel guilty, it’s not your fault! It’s not Song Yao’s fault, what the people in the Hanlin Mansion think, she can’t do anything about it. , you can’t help it, our family has always discussed something together.”
The willow tree also nodded: “Why do the family think so much? It’s right to marry your daughter-in-law quickly!”
Just as he was talking, someone suddenly spoke at the door: “Who wants to marry a daughter-in-law? I also want to marry my daughter-in-law quickly!” Shicheng came in with a smile.
This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here.
Liu Xuer smiled and asked him to come in: “Why did you go to find you, and you came?”
“I happened to meet at the door…what are you looking for?” Shicheng smiled and sat down.
Liu Xuer then told the matter, Shi Cheng listened and pondered: “This is really difficult to do… Brother-in-law is right, although the county magistrate is only a seventh-rank, but in the end he is also People in the officialdom have treated us differently recently, there is a reason, but it doesn’t mean that he will help us with anything, especially when it offends the Hanlin House.”
Liu Xuer said: “Do you have any good ideas?”
Shi Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Although we need help from the government, we don’t have to ask for it… Let’s not think of ourselves as a scholar who can ask the county magistrate, we are still ordinary people, businessmen …”
Liu Lin asked: “How do you say this?”
Shi Cheng did not speak, but pondered, stood up and walked to the window to look out, obviously brewing in his heart.
Listening to what he just said, Liu Xuer has already guessed a little, Shicheng… Maybe he wants to take an unorthodox way? As long as it is the way in the business field, any tricks can be used.
Shi Cheng thought for a while, then smiled, looked at Liu Lin and said, “I have an idea… But this idea is a bit bad, second brother-in-law, use some means to the people of the Hanlin mansion, will this work?”
Liu Lin said: “Of course it works… What’s wrong? They are not polite to me!”
Shi Cheng sneered, nodded and said with a smile: “Hanlin House wants to occupy your silk shop, but forgot one thing, we are profiteers! We are the best at calculating others, how can we call Did anyone figure it out?”
He said this, although he didn’t say anything yet, but Liulin and Liushu have suddenly realized! Look at this from the eyes of a businessman, and deal with it in the same way as a businessman of yours.
Shi Cheng smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you give them what they want, but we pay attention to the timing… We promised to agree happily, but we also have conditions, that is, the day Song Yao passed the door, The shop is only given to them… lest they get the shop and feel very relaxed again! Then they start to make further progress. When giving the shop, the account must be done well, and things can be given, but the money must not be controlled too much, and it must not be allowed to them. run…say…”
“It will not exceed two hundred taels.” Liu Lin glanced at Liu Shu, and then said: “Try to be around one hundred taels.”
Shi Cheng smiled and said: “This hundred taels may be given to them…”
Liu Lin already understood a little, nodded and said, “This one hundred taels is the money to buy the betrothal gift… It will be counted in the money for the betrothal gift.”
Shicheng laughed, but Liu Xuer already understood, but she was still a little uncertain: “With less working capital, do you think Hanlin Mansion will not be able to operate?”
Some people think doing business is too simple, so let’s give them some discomfort and try it. It’s very simple. When I competed with my peers, I could do any tricks! Among the things that the Hanlin Mansion wants, they want goods and money. , I want a bill! But I forgot the most important thing, I want a person! We will hand over the shop when the time comes, and we will give it exactly what they want, and don’t take any extra. The hooligans want to make trouble, the supply of goods is tight and the goods cannot come in, and the young master wants to get involved in the silk business to get a piece of the pie… At that time, it will only depend on how devastated they are. It is estimated that when they can’t stand it, they will look for it. At that time, he was already the good son-in-law of their house, the second brother-in-law!”
Everyone was all at once.
Shi Cheng smiled and said: “We are looking for the gangsters, I have to pretend to be a colleague and want to push them out, maybe it will make a big trouble and go to the county magistrate’s side, but at that time , but we didn’t take the initiative to find it, we didn’t take the initiative to ask him to intervene, but if he wants to intervene, I will cooperate…”
After finishing speaking, he asked them with a smile: “How?”
Willow sneered: “You really have too many tricks! I think it can be… Haha!”
Liu Lin is also pondering, the shop is handed over to the Hanlin mansion for a while on the surface, and there are stumbling blocks behind the scenes. If the people of the Hanlin mansion can’t manage it, they will naturally ask for help… If they don’t find themselves, they will also Don’t worry, I’m watching here! On the ground of Fengxian county seat, who is how much is now, I know very well in my heart, as long as the news is released at that time, there will not be too many people who dare to take over.
“The only thing I don’t worry about is that if things get bigger, what will the magistrate want?” Liu Lin said, “What if the lion opens up, or in other ways…”
Shi Cheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry about this! The county magistrate seeks nothing more than money and power. What my brother-in-law just said makes sense, but don’t forget, if the county magistrate wants to corrupt our money, he will He doesn’t dare to come, and secondly, he can’t have such an idiot idea. You have also repeatedly said that the county magistrate has to give two points of face for our four talents. Think about it, he can suddenly turn his face and corrupt us. silver?”
Willow thought for a while, then nodded: “That’s true.”
Shi Cheng continued: “He asked for power, just like the uncle said, we can’t give it… So even if this matter gets to the county magistrate’s side, he can only push the boat to us. It’s just a matter of remembering a favor. Of course, we also have to understand some things, and we should be filial and filial. “
The willow, the willow forest, and the catkins, they all sounded reasonable, and the willow patted the willow forest and said: “That’s it! Do it according to this idea. Well, when you get married, give it to you. shop!”
Liu Lin thought about it for a while, and it was indeed feasible, so he nodded. He knew in his heart that the people in the Hanlin Mansion wanted to occupy the shop, in fact, to find a place for them to make money for a long time. In their hearts, they must feel that it is easy to operate. The deed of the shop is theirs, and they do not need to pay. Rent, now the goods are readily available, the silk shop is probably regarded as a cash cow. Wanting to occupy, but also wanting to save the face of his Hanlin mansion, so he proposed the idea of making a shop as a dowry. In this case, there is really no need to be polite to them.
The next day, they called the matchmaker and told her to go to the Hanlin Mansion to talk about it. They agreed, but there was one condition. The day when Song Yao passed the door was the time to hand over the shop. Of course, Everything they want in the shop will be given to them in the same amount.
Here at home, Liu Xuer and Liu Shu said to their parents that there is already a solution, please don’t worry, just start preparing for Liu Lin’s marriage!
The Hanlin Mansion first heard that the shop would not be handed over until Song Yao passed the door. Naturally, he was unwilling. On this matter, Liu Lin would not give in, and he knew that the Hanlin Mansion was also looking at it now. Their own reactions, if they can’t wait for their own performance, then they will definitely make an inch! What’s more, Liu Lin now knows that the only two greedy women are competing with him in the Hanlin Mansion!
Of course Liu Lin would not give in, so this matter was put aside for a while to cool them off.
