Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband
7 Chapter 7 Tuo Gu
After all, it was Feng Lide's old acquaintance, Huang Qianshan treated Xie Xuan like his own grandson.Huang Qianshan used to be considered a sharp sword in the officialdom, with countless means of thunder, but now that he has retired, the daily life of admiring flowers and birds is becoming boring, so he put in a little more thought for such a thing.First, he made a decision on that day, setting the time when Mrs. Xie Liu would pay off the money, and then he was afraid that if he left, the people below would inevitably play tricks, so he simply lived in Mrs. Xie's mansion.Said to the outside world: "I haven't seen my nephew for a few years, so I have to see him off anyway. When he returns home for the first seven times, he will dream of me and chatter a few words."
Mr. Huang's attitude was rigid, and the Liu family brothers and sisters had no choice.
"This god damn kid, maybe I blocked his way in my previous life or something, and I'm always going to trouble me in this life." Xie Liu made a false fist with one hand, and beat his chest repeatedly.He couldn't swallow that breath just now, and he was in a panic at this moment.
"Sister, my brother has already reminded you that you can't keep that child, you can't keep it. If you had been ruthless earlier, you would have been so stupid if you used some tricks to drug him. Now this matter will be over." Liu Xin Following Xie Liu into the room, the calculations in his mind never stopped.
"You always say that the child is not close to Xie Zhuo, and it's okay. Think about the situation today. The yellow-mouthed kid is as good as an old grumpy man like me. One by one, one by one. , if you say that Xie Zhuo is not behind his back to prepare for him, brother will not believe it."
Xie Liu had already held her breath, but now hearing her brother's words, she felt even more irritable and had a splitting headache. "I didn't know that Xie Zhuo was so heartless, and he acted like he was treating everyone equally. I thought it was to deceive people and numb you and me. It's useless to say more now, but my brother can think of a way for me. After all these years, do I got a wife and asked me to move out. At that time, it was absolutely impossible. Not to mention that I lost face, if I was really kicked out, our Liu family would have to be laughed at."
"The ten thousand taels is not too much, and it is not much. My sister should explain to brother Wei first, how much money does Xie's mansion have."
The accounts of a family are extremely secretive, but at this moment, her elder brother who loved her since childhood has become her life-saving straw.Mrs. Xie Liu waved the servant girl by her side to go out, and said in a low voice: "To tell the truth, brother, if you order Dangdang, plus the field outside, the total is only 5000 taels."
"5000 taels, that's half the price!" Liu Xin shouted.
"Brother keep your voice down, there is no one trustworthy in this family now, I'm afraid people will listen to say a few more words, if he directly puts the house up for sale, I really would be better off dead."
Liu Xin remained silent and lowered his head to calculate.
"Father left early, and now the only one my sister can rely on is my brother. I don't know if my brother can make it easier for me. I paid 5000 taels of silver with my sister to use it."
Liu Xin pretended to be in trouble, and said: "A elder brother is like a father. Before his death, his father entrusted his elder brother to take good care of his younger sister. Now that you are in trouble, how can a brother stand by and watch?"
"But my sister also knows that your sister-in-law has always been the master of the money in my mansion, and finally a private person's money is used in Chunfeng Building. You also know that this year, the upper hand is tight, and the income of the family is already less. Your nephew passed the provincial examination, and my brother gave the examiner a lot of money. It is also a time when my brother's family is in a tight spot."
Xie Liu wanted to cry: "Sister-in-law's family is a well-known merchant in Wan County, and the dowry alone has thousands of taels of silver. What does brother mean by saying these things now? Could it be that now that my sister is dead, I don't care about it?"
"My dear sister, my brother can't care about you anymore." Liu Xin hastily tried to comfort her, "Your sister-in-law is a careful planner, you don't know that. If you want my brother to take the 5000 taels, it's absolutely impossible. But Just change the name and let your sister-in-law take it."
"In this way, you and your brother will make a written statement, saying that you will borrow 5000 taels of silver from your sister-in-law, and you will pay it back soon. You are willing to use this house as a mortgage. When my brother returns, he will take the money from your sister-in-law."
Xie Liu shook her head when she heard this: "How can you take Xie's mansion as a bet? No, no, no. If this is the case, then it's not like the first hand redeemed the house, and the second hand took it away. It must."
"My silly girl, why can't you figure it out. This mortgage is just for show, as long as you cheat your sister-in-law and take out the money, isn't this house still yours?"
"But, but..."
"But what's the matter, sister, think about it, besides this, what else can you do now? 5000 taels of silver, who will lend it to you except your relatives. Brother will have to mediate with your sister-in-law when he goes back. After a while, let her promise not to charge you interest. I can only do this for you. "
After Liu Xin finished speaking, he sat beside Mrs. Xie Liu and sighed: "Brother knows that you have suffered in Xie's mansion these years, and finally your daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law. Now it's hard for people to cut off their beards. Our family People, my brother loved you the most since I was a child, and I did my best to marry you. If it was possible, my brother would naturally not want you to suffer these grievances. It’s not a problem to hand over to you. The bad thing is that your brother is only so capable now, and your other brothers are far away. Even if you want to help you, you can’t do it. I can only put aside this old face and go outside to find a bank for you, and let someone pay you the money."
Xie Liu was distracted for a moment, Huang Qianshan's limited time was really tight, and now there is only such a brother by his side.The son was young and ignorant, so he had nothing to rely on in an instant, so he could only say with tears in his eyes: "Brother, why do you say these things? I know that my brother is doing my sister's best. This paper, my sister will do it."
After finishing speaking, he called the maid from outside to come in, prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, made a written note according to Liu Xin's wishes, and pressed his fingerprints.
There was no secret in Xiaomen Xiaoyuan, and the news that Xie Xuan was going to the capital spread in one afternoon.In the past few days, Li Momo wanted to ask him, but he couldn't say it.On the night of the fifth day, Li Memo helped Xie Xuan pack up as usual, but did not go out for a long time.
"If you have anything to say, just ask, Xuan'er will tell you the truth." Xie Xuan naturally knew what Li Memo was thinking, and he wanted to explain it before he left.
"I heard from the backyard that the young master is going to Beijing with Mr. Li, but is it true?"
"It's true. The carriage has already been rented, and father will leave after burning the first seven days."
"Then, that old body..."
"I'm going to the capital as a guest, so naturally I can't take it with me. Besides, even if I want to, I can't be so selfish. Memo treats me very well. Do you want me to abandon my family and follow me to the capital?" Can't wait?"
"It's better to go with the young master if I let the old man stay and serve that one." Li Momo said bitterly.
Xie Xuan walked to the bedside while speaking, took out a small box, and took out an envelope from the box. "Who told Memo to serve her? Memo signed a 15-year contract with my mother at the beginning, and there are only two years left. Xuan'er can grow up to such an age safely. Memo is heartbroken. I dare not forget."
Xie Xuan took out the envelope, a work contract and a bank note. "Should I return this work deed now? Starting today, you don't have to work in the Xie Mansion. As for the 50 taels of silver, it is mother's wish, so I will pay it on her behalf."
"This, this, old man, how dare this old man ask for it?" Li Momo looked terrified, she only guessed that Xie Xuan was kind, and would definitely hand over the work contract to her, but she never thought of taking such a sum of money from him .
Xie Xuan neatly put the labor contract and bank note into the envelope, and stuffed it into Li Memo's hand. "You deserve it after all these years of hard work. How can you dare to say it? After all these years of hard work, with this money, you can just rest for a few years. It just so happens that you got a golden grandson some time ago, and you are at home Wouldn't it be great to bring your grandson and enjoy the peace and happiness."
"But, but..."
"Okay, okay, here I don't regard Xuan'er as my own family. You can take the things, I'm afraid that Xuan'er will not come back when you go. During the holidays, please help Xuan'er I have done my filial piety in front of my father's grave."
Li Meme burst into tears, and pulled his sleeves to wipe away the tears, "The young master has never been away from his old body since he was a child. The old man can't bear to go away at such a young age. The poor young master has lost his mother a long time ago, and now he just lost his father. I have to go. God has no eyes, how could he have the heart to let a child suffer so much..."
"Don't cry, I'm not suffering. I have been loved by my mother since I was a child. After my mother left, my father has never treated me badly, and he has taken care of me wholeheartedly. Besides, it's not like I don't have a roof, Even though I am visiting the capital as a guest, Uncle Li will not treat me badly. After a few years, if I win the imperial examination, I will also have a place in the capital. Compared to too many people, I am already very lucky." Xie Xuan sighed, and there was something he didn't say.The luckiest thing for him is that he was reborn once, which gave him time to make up for all the regrets of his previous life.
In the morning of the first seven days, just after breakfast, Liu Xin came.He took out 5000 taels of silver bills to his sister, Xie Liu sorted it out, put together the silver bills that had been cashed out a few days ago, 1 taels of silver bills, and handed them to Xie Xuan in front of Huang Qianshan.Xie Xuan kept an eye on it, and invited a gentleman from the commercial bank to come over and check the authenticity of the bank notes one by one, and then he made a written receipt for Xie Liu.Li Heng also returned Xie Zhuo's private seal to Xie Liushi.In this way, it is also considered that the goods and the money are paid off.
That afternoon, according to the time given by Mr. Yin Yang, a group of people went to burn the first seven for Xie Zhuo.Xie Xuan kowtowed hard on the grave until Li Heng couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him up.The things were packed early in the morning and put on the carriage, the three of them didn't go back to Xie's mansion, paid their respects to Xie Zhuo, and went straight on the road.
The pain of losing his father and the worry of leaving his hometown, even if he went through it again, Xie Xuan still couldn't breathe.Xie Xuan sat in the carriage, unable to recover for a long time.After an unknown amount of time, a chubby little hand suddenly reached out to him, and a soft voice rang in his ear: "Brother eats candy."
Xie Xuan turned his head, and it was Li Zhiyuan beside him, just like in the previous life.Confused, seeing that he was unhappy, he carefully took the candy out to make himself happy.
Xie Xuan took the candy, a trace of sweetness melted in his mouth, and the scenes of the two worlds overlapped.At this moment, he finally knew how the child opened his dusty heart.But it was the moment when he let himself eat candy.
Mr. Huang's attitude was rigid, and the Liu family brothers and sisters had no choice.
"This god damn kid, maybe I blocked his way in my previous life or something, and I'm always going to trouble me in this life." Xie Liu made a false fist with one hand, and beat his chest repeatedly.He couldn't swallow that breath just now, and he was in a panic at this moment.
