Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day
Chapter 13 The Second Sister Borrows Money
Zhao Shen finished the biggest order for the shop and returned home exhausted. He passed by the study and saw that the study was still bright, so he knew that Xiang Yuan hadn't come out yet.
There is still more than a month to go to Fuzhou for reference. Xiang Yuan has been working harder recently, often forgetting to sleep and eat.Zhao Shen was well aware of the importance of the scientific research, so he didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to order Ah Ting to make more warming ingredients and send them to him.
Seeing Zhao Shen come back, Ah Ting took the oiled paper bag in his hand, inside it was the Guangji Dim Sum he had made a special detour to West Street to buy for Xiang Yuan's supper at night, so as not to be so grown up, always Call yourself hungry.
"My lord, the eldest lady is here, and it is now in the old lady's room."
When Zhao Shen heard this, he knew that Feng Niang was coming, logically he was going to say hello.It just so happened that he was also thinking of making a whole set of clothes and shoes for Xiang Yuan to wear when taking the exam. He planned to ask Li Shi what Xiang Yuan's favorite styles or taboos were, so he didn't think much, and walked briskly towards Li Shi. .
Before he got close to the door curtain, Li's slightly raised voice came clearly from inside.
"Using his money can be regarded as flattering him. Since he has married into our Xiang family, the husband and wife are naturally one. If Congzi can go to high school, won't he, Zhao Jinyan, also be honored? In the future, he will be the lord of the official family. Who doesn't want to take a look when he goes out?"
The people in the room seemed to have said something again, but Li retorted without reducing his voice: "Of course Congzi knows about this, and I don't ask him to take much, there must be 51!"
There was a moment of silence in the room, Feng Niang was silent for a while, she changed the subject with a smile, Mrs. Li didn't hold back, and started to talk about other things naturally.
Zhao Shen stood outside, feeling chills in his heart.
At this moment, he couldn't even describe what mood he was in, it was ironic and sad, and there was also an unexplained grievance.He thought of the painting that Xiang Yuan drew for himself, the peach blossom he gave him, the way he stood outside the shop waiting for him, and even the way he teased himself before going to bed yesterday and jokingly asked him when he would consummate the house All vividly.
But just when he wanted to let go of everything in the past, try to accept Xiang Yuan, and the two of them lived a good life, he heard such words!Could it be that Xiang Yuan is lying to himself?Just to coax her dowry money?Wait until one day you squeeze yourself dry, and then completely abandon it like a shoe?
With the unfortunate marriage in the previous life, Zhao Shen thought more and more, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he was.God has lived up to him, and when he is about to fall into it, he can still warn him like this, and he will be reborn again.
Good, good, good!He wants to see what face Xiang Yuan has to come and mention this to him!
After making up his mind, Zhao Shen didn't want to worry about clothes and shoes anymore, he just went in and greeted Feng Niang with a sullen face, and then went back to his room to rest.
Mrs. Li was very dissatisfied when she saw that he had an expression of someone owed money, so she dragged Feng Niang to complain, and finally asked Feng Niang to go back and tell Xiang Li that money was tight at home, and asked him to send some money back, saying that every month The service money is too little, should I add some?
On Feng Niang's face, she only promised, but she complained endlessly in her heart.
Obviously my uncle Congzi made it clear to my master last time that they don't have to send money back in addition to the money they give to Li Shi in the future. Why did Li Shi bring it up again after a few months?
Not to mention how Fengniang brought it up to Xiang Li when she went back, Xiang Li only paid five taels of silver to Li Shi to deal with the matter, but said that Zhao Shen had doubts about Xiang Yuan since he overheard Li Shi's words, and determined Xiang Yuan with all his heart. It was because they wanted to cheat money and people, and Xiang Yuan's exam was coming soon, and he was so busy that the relationship between the two of them dropped to a freezing point, but Xiang Yuan thought that Zhao Shen was busy with his shop and business, so his obvious indifference towards him was only a matter of fact. It was a normal reaction after being tired, but things turned around when Xiang Yuan's second sister came back to ask for help.
Although the second sister of the Xiang family married a merchant, her husband's family is very large. After two generations of hard work, she finally confessed to a scholar in this generation. She passed the examination of scholar and scholar along the way, but in the end she tried several times, but she couldn't get it. The family had to decide to raise money to fill the gap.A good position requires not only connections, but also a lot of gold and silver to open the way.And this son, who was offered by the family with all their strength, happened to be the eldest brother of the second sister Xiang, dear, and a compatriot with the second uncle and mother.
The second sister Xiang and the second son-in-law have only been married for five or six years, and they are not loved by their parents-in-law. The second son-in-law has limited business means, and the couple have not been able to save much money. They originally wanted to hire a knowledgeable teacher for their two sons. But he didn't want such a big event to happen at home.The parents-in-law made it clear that each room must pay at least 500 taels, more is better, less is absolutely impossible.
The couple spent almost all their money, and barely managed to raise 500 taels. When they sent it, they got a few stares and cold words from their parents-in-law.However, the second son-in-law's own business has no cash flow. Seeing that the goods in hand cannot be obtained, he has to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. A few reprimands.Borrowing from a friend, I only raised half of it, and I don't know how to raise the other half.
Seeing the child's father frothing in a hurry, Second Sister Xiang gritted her teeth and went back to her mother's house to borrow money with embarrassment.
Mrs. Li was also full of embarrassment after hearing Second Sister Xiang's complaints.
Congzi has less than two months to go to Fuzhou to take the township examination, travel expenses, accommodation expenses, meal expenses, and various entertainments. , there is no other income, and now even the Congzi scientific examination has to take money from Zhao Jinyan, so how can there be any spare money to lend to Second Sister Xiang!
"Mother, I also know your difficulties, but there is really nothing I can do. Zhong An has been so anxious these days that his mouth is full of bubbling, and he can't sleep all night. It hurts me to see it."
"I really don't have any money left at home. I also asked your elder brother. I can only say that you are too unlucky to catch up. He just bought a batch of goods and put all the living money in his hand into it, but he can only move out about 50 taels." .”
Second Sister Xiang was silent, 50 taels is 50 taels, it's better than no copper coins at all.
At this time, Xiang Yuan came in with a purse, followed by the thoughtful Zhao Shen.
"Second sister, this is 50 taels, you can take it. There are not many children, so I can only help here. Please forgive me, second sister and second brother-in-law."
Second Sister Xiang was really surprised.
How could she not know what her little brother was like?That is a selfish, indifferent and cold-blooded person who always only asks his brothers and sisters to treat him well, but he is reluctant to reciprocate at all.When have you been so generous? !
"This, this, Mugzi."
Second sister Xiang Nuo Nuo couldn't speak.
"Mongzi, where did you get the money?"
Mrs. Li was even more astonished, she glanced at Zhao Shen from the corner of her eyes, thinking that it was Zhao Shen who pulled it out, and it was rare to give him a gentle and approving look.
Xiang Yuan briefly talked about the consignment of his writing and painting.Mrs. Li was very distressed when she heard this, and said that Congzi was suffering.Seeing that Mrs. Li was about to cry down the courtyard wall, Xiang Li who came after him had to explain with a headache.
"Mother, you don't know that Congzi's paintings are praised by Nan Daozi, and his good handwriting is even imitated by students from Lizhong. , it will be of great benefit to his scientific research."
After hearing Xiang Li's explanation, Mrs. Li stopped.Then he remembered that the 50 taels were paid by Xiang Yuan, doesn't that mean that Zhao Shen didn't pay anything?Feeling a little dissatisfied, the look in Zhao Shen's eyes was not right.
Seeing that Xiang Yuan and Xiang Li were about to leave in a hurry, Mrs. Li hurriedly called Zhao Shen to stop, saying that she had something to say.Xiang Yuan turned around to see, and after a change of mind, he understood what Li Shi wanted to say.
"Mother, don't forget what I said before."
Li choked.
Zhao Shen's mind is now in a mess. According to his expectation, meeting the second sister of the Xiang family just gave Xiang Yuan an excuse to ask for money, but until now, Xiang Yuan has not seen any action. Shen keenly sensed that something was wrong.
With a thought, he simply sat down in a well-behaved manner until Mrs. Li made a move, and listened to what she had to say.
Mrs. Li was secretly warned by Xiang Yuan. After all, she didn't dare to mention asking Zhao Shen to take the money. Seeing the appearance of the lord, let him go.
At this point, if Zhao Shen still doesn't understand how Li's words came from before, his ten years of life will be in vain.Having figured this out, he has been pressing on his chest for the past few days, causing his uncomfortable gloom to disappear instantly, and his steps became brisk again.
Xiang Yuan was afraid that Mrs. Li would say something unpleasant to Zhao Shen, so he waited at the door of the room, and when he saw Zhao Shen approaching, he checked his face carefully, and saw that his eyes were clear and refreshed, he didn't look like he was angry, and immediately don't worry.
"There is a party in the club, I can't come back until later today, don't wait for me to eat, come back early to rest by myself."
Facing Xiang Yuan, Zhao Shen slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an obvious smile. "Understood, you go early and come back early."
He figured it out, Xiang Yuan looked shrewd and everything was in order, but in fact he still couldn't escape the thinking of a man, some things he couldn't think of or notice.He didn't even notice the obvious cold war with him a few days ago, so what else can he say!What more can I think about!
Xiang Yuan was almost blinded by Zhao Shen's radiant smile, and his heart was agitated, Emma, it's rare for Jin Yan to understand, does this mean that there is hope for consummation? O(∩_∩)O~~
Unconsciously, he went out to go to the party, all he could think about was how to eat up people quietly tonight, but he didn't realize that Zhao Shen had been standing behind him, watching him go out, his eyes were soft, No more sharpness than before.
When Second Sister Xiang was about to leave, Zhao Shen sent 100 taels of silver notes.
Second Sister Xiang wept with joy, she really didn't know how to thank her, so she had to say over and over again: "Brother, Congzi, Jin Yan, don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money."
There is still more than a month to go to Fuzhou for reference. Xiang Yuan has been working harder recently, often forgetting to sleep and eat.Zhao Shen was well aware of the importance of the scientific research, so he didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to order Ah Ting to make more warming ingredients and send them to him.
