Chapter 252: Lou Fengming's Scheme
Zhu Qing was a little surprised when he heard Chen Yu's words, but did not object. When he looked at Lou Fengming, he saw a trace of contradiction flashing inexplicably in his eyes, and he felt a little strange.
This Lou Fengming came at a bad time, especially the Nie family. He also knew how Nie Qing and Yu'er had a relationship, but now he took the initiative to mention the Nie family. Is there any conspiracy in it?
It was not that he thought too much, but that there should be contradictions in Lou Fengming's eyes. He seemed unwilling to hear Yu'er rejection, but he seemed glad that Yu'er rejected his proposal, so this had to make him doubt it, and he felt that the purpose of Lou Fengming's visit this time was definitely not that simple.
After Chen Yu politely declined Lou Fengming, Lou Fengming left, but before leaving, he left a sentence and said that if he needed his help, he would do his best to help.
Neither Chen Yu nor Zhu Qing answered Lou Fengming's proposal, and he returned in disappointment.
"Brother Qing, why do I think Lou Fengming is a little weird?" Although Chen Yu was less stubborn about feelings, he was very sensitive to the rest of things, so when he saw Lou Fengming's strange appearance, he couldn't help asking curiously.
"Yu'er, it's probably not a simple ship collision," Zhu Qing reached out and hugged Chen Yu, looked at her and said seriously: "No matter who it is, he dare not go against the government. Besides, the imperial edict has not arrived yet, what are the Gu family anxious about? In my opinion, someone is holding us to the point where we can't get so much money at once. He wants to design the Nie family so that he can't defeat the Nie family!"
"Is the Nie family so easy to be overturned?" Chen Yu did not refute Zhu Qing's words, and always felt that what he said had a slight sense. But thinking that Nie Qing has now become the youngest concubine, with a prince next to her, and there is no queen on her, so she attracted more attention in the harem.
Perhaps, they didn’t want to overthrow the Nie family, but wanted to eradicate the forces behind Nie Qing.
"Yu'er, we don't understand the plot in the capital, but if the Nie family falls and Nie Qing loses power, it will not be a good thing for you and me, and brother-in-law Xiaohai!" He did not tell Yu'er that when the conspiracy comes, thousands of people can be buried in one sentence, let alone someone who has the intention to do it.
"I know...," Chen Yu sighed and said helplessly: "I really don't want to get involved in those conspiracies, but it's really not OK to live in this world to keep yourself safe. Since it doesn't work, then go with the flow, at least don't implicate others, Brother Qing, do you think so?"
"Yes!" Zhu Qing answered firmly with his hand and hugged her tightly.
"Ten thousand taels of silver... enough for us to lose everything, what should we do?" Chen Yu was upset. It sounded nice, but wouldn't it cost a life to take so much money at once? If Pang Yuntian was there, he could turn around with the Pang family, but Pang Yuntian was not there and Nasha was not there, so there was no way out.
"Yu'er, you have to borrow it if you don't borrow it, otherwise it will cause Shen Guang to implicate it," Zhu Qing helped her up and looked at her face and seriously and said, "It's better to do this. Go and ask Em and see how much money there is in the family. I'll go to the big wharf to ask Chen and the Nie family. No matter what, don't get involved with the Lou family..."
"Yeah!" Chen Yu nodded and agreed to his arrangement, knowing that the one he was most impatient with now was Lou Fengming. So did she hate this guy, and she even plotted against friends. Is she still considered a human being?
If he really treats them as friends, I hope he can stop this matter. Otherwise, don't blame her for not taking any affection and turning against others.
The friends she wants can be friends with heart rather than calculating.
Although he was angry, he still had to borrow the money he should borrow. Yu'er went to discuss with Lin with his big belly, while Zhu Qing took a carriage to Beiyu Town to discuss with Manager Chen...
"I have to pay so much money?" Lin was immediately shocked when he heard this, but he felt distressed. "Ten thousand taels of silver are enough for our family to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives!" She had a few money in her hand, but she saved money by saving money. After all, she still had three sons. The eldest son had not yet got married, and if she didn't hold a little money in her hand, she would be furious.
"The most important thing now is to solve this problem first. What are you talking about? How much money is there in the family? Take it out and get it together." Seeing that she was nagging so much, Chen Dongsheng quickly spoke out to remind him.
"Oh, I'll go," Lin felt distressed, but she knew that if this matter was not solved, it would cause trouble for her daughter and son-in-law, so she was reluctant to let go. She could still tell which one was more important.
Chen Yu looked at Lin's old back and felt a little painful - Lin's mother is a very good person in this era. She does not favor boys over girls. In her bones, her daughter and son are all her flesh in her heart. No one is the most important, and who is not important.
If it were someone else's, maybe at this time, they would be cold words and nothing good. Only Lin's nagging, he still knows what is the most important thing. Why don't such a mother tell her to feel sorry for her?
Over the years, everyone has done a good job, but she is escaping and thinking that everyone is living a good life, but she doesn't know that everyone is just living a good life in their own cognition, and none of them is really good.
Lin took out the silver that was in the box, a total of 1,200 taels. This silver was saved by Lin's frugality. Basically, after Yu'er got married, the family had not used too much money, so there was so much left. Otherwise, when Chen Hai got married, he would not know if the 1,000 taels would be enough.
"Mom, please stay here for these two hundred taels." Chen Yu was afraid that after he would take away all the money, they would use it if they wanted to use it, so he took out two hundred taels and handed it to Lin, but she refused.
"Take it all, I have left some scattered silver. If there is any urgent need, your uncle and second uncle have it, so it's okay to turn around with them. Don't worry about us. Think about the remaining silver carefully. What should I do?" Lin looked at her and refused to refuse.
Seeing this, Chen Yu had no choice but to put away all the silver, and then sighed: "When Lou Fengming came, he said that the Gu family would come in two days, so Brother Qing went to Beiyu Town to find a way to find a way to borrow it, and see how much it can be borrowed... If not, he went to the city to ask his brother-in-law. His embroidery workshop had a good business, so there were always a few silver, so it would be better to borrow it to gather!" In the end, she was a little calm and didn't seem to have something to do with her, but it had nothing to do with her.
"You, it's so light, who will keep so much money in your hands... If your godfather had money in his hands, it would have been taken away by your brother Yuanfeng. It's not easy for him to open a restaurant in the capital now. You, don't have too much hope." Lin didn't want to criticize her innocence, but felt that each family had its own difficulties and it was not easy to borrow money.
In fact, for Chen Yu, borrowing money is really the first time. If she doesn't lend, she won't lend it. Once she borrows money, she is scary, and it's so scary. But she really doesn't understand the ancient bank borrowing transactions, and there are only a few people she knows, so she can only try her luck. If she doesn't work, think of other ways.
There is an old saying: It’s no difficult to find a way out, so before she can really be desperate, she doesn’t need to swear to the sky and the earth, and she wants to die.
"Let's talk about it when Qing'er comes back," Chen Dongsheng glanced at Lin in dissatisfaction, feeling that what she said was a blow to people. Now that Yu'er is pregnant, she is not afraid of irritating her too much. She is really getting back to life.
Lin might know that he had said something he shouldn't have said, or that he felt that Chen Dong was angry, so he curled his lips, swallowed all the words he opened his mouth, and began to remain silent.
With one thousand two hundred taels of silver in his hand, Chen Yu's heart was quite heavy. She didn't mind starting from scratch with Zhu Qing, but she felt even more sorry for Zhu Qing's efforts but got such a result. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Qing. He was not from Nanyu Village, and his only relative here was his mother's home.
But Dad didn't go out to sea at all, so there was no need for him to rent a boat to find someone. He did this just to save his uncle and the second uncle. He was on the same mind as Dad, and he was completely for his own sake. Now, when he encountered someone who wanted to compensate, he not only had no complaints, but also thought about himself everywhere. Does such a man feel sorry for her?
A responsible man should work hard to take on the responsibility of being a man after something happens, rather than complaining about how things happen and who should go otherwise.
After this incident, Chen Yu made another comment about Zhu Qing in his heart, knowing that he had made no choice at all.
Zhu Qing went there for a day and came back very late. When he came back, it was already dark. Chen Yu quickly asked Tao'er to bring out the warm food. Knowing that he was traveling all night, he would definitely not care about eating.
"Ji, this is the money I borrowed," Zhu Qing took out the silver notes in his arms, swallowed a bite of the meal in his mouth, and explained: "I went to Deyuelou. My godfather said that he still had more than 3,000 taels in the money house and went to get the silver notes for me. When I saw that it was not enough, I drove into the city and found my brother-in-law to discuss...."
Bai Youyue frowned when he heard what Zhu Qing said. He was an official and knew the depth of the water inside. He didn't have to wait for Zhu Qing to speak, so he called Chen Yan directly and took all the remaining silver from the family for Zhu Qing to take away. Knowing that something happened to Zhu Qing, Chen Yan didn't even say a word of anything. He took the silver from the family and went to the money house to get the integer. He raised more than 2,000 taels in total, less than 3,000.
The two families combined, a total of 6,000 taels. Now, with the more than 1,000 taels given by the Lin family, the total is only 7,000 taels. Where should I borrow the 3,000 taels if I have less?
"This borrowing of silver is really as my mother said, not that easy to borrow," Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, my godfather and brother-in-law are all sincerely helping us, otherwise we would only have one thousand taels in hand, and we couldn't even make up ten thousand taels after we sold the house!" This house is good in Nanyu Village, but who would be willing to live here without any trouble?
