Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker
Chapter 4 Gifts
Aunt Yu was pinching the IOU that she had written to Xiao's Bank, her hands trembling with anger, her well-maintained face was also distorted with crow's feet.
Xiao Tong took a sip of the tea and said with a smile: "Aunt Yu's tea is very fragrant, and you can tell that it is worth it just by drinking it. I think Aunt Yu is not short of that mere 100 taels."
Aunt Yu glared at Xiao Tong, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Xiao Tong's current appearance was very embarrassing!
It's not that the people from Xiao's company didn't come to urge her before, but she avoided it, thinking that if Xiao's company went bankrupt, the debt would become a bad debt.Today when Xiao Tong came to the door, she thought she was offering a price to redeem Si Qinghu's body, so she entertained her personally, but she didn't expect that she came to collect debts. Thanks to her, she even greeted her with such a good osmanthus cake!
Si Qinghu looked at Aunt Yu's embarrassment, while Xiao Silang still looked mean, he lowered his head and pursed his lips, gloating a little.But since she was a child, she has been doing acting work, seeing people's faces eating, she just suppressed the smile in her heart.
"Xiao Silang, this silver tael..." Aunt Yu suddenly recovered her polite smile, thinking of laughing and continuing to delay the debt.
Si Qinghu saw through her, and rushed ahead of her and said: "It's only a hundred taels, which is not enough for the daily expenses of Qingyufang. Now that Xiao's business is in trouble, our Qingyufang doesn't like to be in arrears, right, aunt?"
Aunt Yu's face was sullen and her eyes were fierce, and she looked at Si Qinghu, but Si Qinghu's expression was sincere, as if she really cared about Qingyufang's reputation.
She grew up watching Si Qinghu, and she already knew that she pretended to be innocent on the surface, but she was actually very dark inside!She just added fuel to the fire on purpose!
The ghost told me just now that 100 taels was not enough for the daily expenses of Qingyufang, so I dug it up for myself, and let Si Qinghu push her down!
Aunt Yu was so distraught that she had no choice but to go back and ask the accountant to withdraw the silver taels.
Now that the good show was over, Si Qinghu felt that he should have nothing to do next, so he got up and wanted to leave.
Xiao Tong remembered that besides collecting debts, Qingyufang had to send congratulatory gifts to Si Qinghu, so when Si Qinghu turned around, he quickly stood up, "Wait a minute, Qinghu!"
Si Qinghu stopped, and looked at Xiao Tong with indifferent eyes.As expected, she still wanted to take the opportunity to strike up a conversation, feeling a little disgusted in her heart.
Xiao Tong bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your help just now."
She knew that what Xiao Tong was talking about was just about her facilitating Aunt Yu's debt repayment, so she said coldly: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean to help you, I just told the truth."
She just thinks objectively that Xiao's family is in trouble, and Qingyufang has more money but does not pay back its debts. How is it different from a hooligan who bullies the weak?
"Anyway, that's what helped me."
Xiao Tong didn't feel uncomfortable because of Si Qinghu's indifference. In her eyes, Si Qinghu was a little girl who looked like a fairy, and she had the best patience with this kind of girl.
In the past, the original body was sorry for this girl, and the cold look she endured was atonement.
Si Qinghu turned around and wanted to continue walking.
"Hey, Qinghu!" Xiao Tong was anxious, and stretched out his hand to pull Si Qinghu. Just as he touched her shoulder, the person in front of him subconsciously grabbed her wrist and buckled it back, then turned around quickly and pushed Xiao Tong. Hit the wall.
Xiao Tong screamed in pain, if she applied a little more force, her hand would be broken!
Because it was the cold winter when he was imprisoned, he caught wind and cold in the dark and humid prison, which hurt his root, and his body was very weak. When he was hit with his hands clasped, Xiao Tong's bones almost fell apart.
How did she forget that Si Qinghu knew martial arts and was good at fighting?
Just now when Si Qinghu helped her, she subconsciously thought that she didn't hate her anymore.
"I... I have something to give you, just leave when I give it." Xiao Tong was so frightened that his lips trembled, and he quickly got to the point.
Si Qinghu stared at Xiao Tong who was pressed against the wall by himself, his expression became more and more complicated. For some reason, he just felt that something was weird.
It was the first time for her to see such a gentle and polite Xiao Tong, and after taking a closer look, she actually felt that Xiao Silang was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
She met Xiao Tong when she was 13. In her memory, Xiao Tong loved to wear flamboyant colorful clothes, with her hair tied in a high ponytail and three dreadlocks on the top of her head, which were studded with dense gold rivets.Walking through the market swaggeringly, laughing vigorously, arrogant.
But today, the dandy is wearing a plain brown dress, her hair is tied up in a ponytail, and there is only a wooden hairpin across her bun. She is simple and plain, but it makes her look heroic and refined.
I have to admit that this dress is based on her aesthetic point.
Looking at her innocent little eyes, she was so weak and pitiful that Si Qinghu felt that he had slighted her.
Thinking of this, Si Qinghu felt a little hot, so he let go of Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong immediately took out a small box from his waist and handed it to Si Qinghu, "I heard that you are going to marry Mr. Liang, so I want to give you this hairpin as a congratulatory gift!"
Si Qinghu was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, trying to smile but unable to.Xiao Tong, who used to be a stalker and threatened to marry her back home, gave her a wedding gift, which is a bit unbelievable!
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xiao Tong quickly explained: "Don't worry, this is just a congratulatory gift, and I won't bother you in the future. Since you and Mr. Liang are in love, this marriage is also a good thing for you. Of course I'm happy for you."
Mr. Liang is the youngest son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people.He met Si Qinghu two years ago, and the two of them got along very well, and Mr. Liang naturally became the guest of honor in Qingyufang. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he and Si Qinghu were in love with each other.
Si Qinghu was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, then smiled lightly and said, "No need, you and I just met each other once, and it's not enough to give each other gifts. Take it back!"
Xiao Tong's smile froze, and the hand that handed the gift froze in mid-air.
Unconsciously, she felt a little sad, the five years of pursuit, in her eyes, was just an acquaintance, and the original body was too failed, it completely embarrassed her!
"Xiao Silang, take your 100 taels!"
Aunt Yu's sarcastic voice suddenly came, just breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room.
Putting Jiaozi into Xiao Tong's hand, seeing the exquisite box, Aunt Yu snatched it unceremoniously, opened it, looked at the pearl hairpin inside, and showed a greedy smile.
"Hey, this hairpin was given to my family, Qinghu, so I'll take it!"
"This..." Xiao Tong was impatient, and just wanted to stretch out his hand to take it back, but seeing that Si Qinghu didn't care, as if acquiescing, he had no choice but to give up.
Thinking about it again, Si Qinghu is a geisha who has signed a contract of prostitution with Qingyufang, and Aunt Yu has the right to receive gifts for her, and can share half of the value.
Now that the debt was paid and the gift was given, Xiao Tong didn't like to stay for a long time, so he politely left after bowing.
Walking to the door, a gust of cool wind hit and penetrated into the bone marrow, Xiao Tong shivered and couldn't help coughing twice.
Si Qinghu looked after Xiao Tong, and saw her hunched over and coughing a few times, her sickly back looked quite pitiful.
It's really unpredictable that the daughter of the Xiao family who was proud of her glory in the past has ended up in the pitiful end of a sick child!
…………
Xiao Tong went to three houses to collect debts in one day, and the one who repaid the money most readily was actually Qingyufang, which was Si Qinghu.For the other two companies, she paid back the debts after selling miserably and intimidating them, and they got a total of 300 taels.
The rest of the dozen or so are sporadic debts, distributed in more than a dozen places. She, the head of the family, will not do it herself, and hand it over to the shopkeeper of Xiao's Bank to come and ask for it back.
This matter quickly spread throughout the Xiao family, and the servants and maids were all amazed, "The head of the family has not only changed his temperament, but also opened his mind!"
You must know that the debtors of those companies are all thorns. The shopkeeper of Xiao's Bank went to the door to ask for it repeatedly, but he was frustrated. The money was not recovered, and he made himself like an unscrupulous loan shark. , like oppressing the common people.Xiao Tong calmed them down in one day, he really has some skills.
Mrs. Chen was in her own yard, listening to the praise from the servants sweeping the floor, she cut it.
Then he stepped into the study and urged his son to study.
Facing the mountain of books, Xiao Zi scratched her head while writing with a pen. Seeing Mrs. Chen coming in, she begged, "Mother, let me go to the tooth store to help Shiro?"
The Chen family hated the iron but said: "Where are you going! This dental shop will close down sooner or later, what benefits will you get by going there? Next year there will be an imperial examination, so you study hard for me!"
Xiao Zi wanted to cry but had no tears: "I'm not material for studying at all!"
In the past, when the Xiao family was prosperous, he followed Xiao Tong to fight cocks and go to the Goulan every day, not to mention how happy he was.Although Xiao Tong has changed his temper now, following him to take care of his teeth is more interesting than reading this boring book.
"Mother, I heard that Shiro got back 300 taels for the Yahang. Maybe the Xiaoshihang can really bring the dead back to life. If you don't let me go, be careful that you won't get a share of the family property in the future!" Xiao Zi knew that the Chen family loved money and threatened him. wake her up.
Mrs. Chen smiled disdainfully, "Isn't it just a few hundred taels back? What's the big deal, those tricksters in her hands can get the job, and I'll carry her shoes!"
The family property is also divided, thank God if the family property is not ruined!
The threats were fruitless, so Xiao Zi had no choice but to continue reading in despair.
The gate of Xiao's House opened beside the bustling street, but now it is a deserted scene.
The sun was rare today, Xiao Tong sat paralyzed on a high chair in the courtyard of Xiao's House basking in the sun, holding up the file of his geisha in his hand, looking at it against the backlight.
There were more than 20 geisha in the Xiao family when her father was the head of the family, and there were many famous geisha.Now there are only six left.
Among these six, except for one little girl who was raised by the Xiao family, the other five were all famous in the past, but now they are outdated, and they are despondent and arrogant, and if they leave, they will starve to death. It is better to stay in the Xiao family. Okay, just eat and drink, it will last a day!
To make them popular, I am afraid it is more difficult than taking the road of Shu!
Xiao Tong saw that one head and two big, but he had no other choice.
There were not many employees left in the dental shop, and Mrs. Chen prevented her sons and daughters from coming to help. Xiao Tong had to personally go out and bring the geisha to visit the owner of Goulan. He had to let them receive the job of performing, so that the dental shop could continue to operate.
Xiao Tong took a sip of the tea and said with a smile: "Aunt Yu's tea is very fragrant, and you can tell that it is worth it just by drinking it. I think Aunt Yu is not short of that mere 100 taels."
Aunt Yu glared at Xiao Tong, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Xiao Tong's current appearance was very embarrassing!
