Zhongyonghou Mansion.

After talking with Wang Dong, Luo Xingchen finally understood why Dou Jinhan was so anxious.

After thinking for a long time, Luo Xingchen decided to give Dou Jinhan some face.

He was not familiar with the other members of the Dou family.

Whether they were dead or alive, Luo Xingchen didn't care.

But Dou Jinhan is different.

Dou Jinhan is one of the four famous young masters in the capital. This is not due to his family background, but to his outstanding personal abilities.

Dou Jinhan was only in his early twenties and had already obtained the status of Juren.

Juren in Daqi are the most outstanding group of scholars, and their status is very high. What's more, Dou Jinhan is not an ordinary juren, but a celebrity among the juren. He will take part in the examination in the future and have the possibility of passing the exam.

Very big.

Such a person alone is enough for him to choose to invest.

Luo Xingchen returned to the hall again. As soon as he stepped in, he saw Dou Jinhan's lowered head and raised his head suddenly.

At this moment, Luo Xingchen saw an uneasy expression on Dou Jinhan's face, which was very different from the image of a calm and composed scholar at the cultural gathering.

"Brother Dou, I'm back. I have a lot of housework to do. Please forgive me." Luo Xingchen bowed his hands and walked through the door with a smile.

The anxious expression on Dou Jinhan's face had already faded away at this time.

"Young Master Luo is in charge of such a large Houfu, so it's normal for him to have a lot of things going on. It's indeed my fault this time."

"I have an idea about what you mentioned earlier..."

Luo Xingchen paused and then said: "This matter is not non-negotiable."

"Master Luo, are you serious?" Dou Jinhan's eyes lit up.

"But, this matter concerns your Dou family, can you make the decision?" Luo Xingchen said calmly.

"I can make the decision. My grandfather has already handed this matter over to me." But Dou Jinhan said something different from what Luo Xingchen expected.

"The Dou family is quite courageous."

Luo Xingchen sighed with emotion, and then said: "How much money are the Dou family prepared to spend to subscribe for shares?"

"The Dou family has no money for the time being, but they can use their shops and real estate as collateral." After saying this, Dou Jinhan's face turned slightly red.

Luo Xingchen knew what was going on. Dou Jinhan had not practiced enough. He was not as thick-skinned as those old fritters, but he seemed a little immature.

"Let's do this. I'll give you two choices. First, I, Yang's Bank, can make the decision to lend you a sum of money, but you have to personally pledge the money for the loan. After the loan is completed, you can subscribe for shares."

"Second, directly use your family's real estate as a mortgage, but your Dou family shouldn't have many valuable real estate and shops, right? I heard that the Dou family owes money to several banks?"

This is the information I heard from Wang Dong, and it is suitable for use here.

"I choose the first one...Do you have any requirements, Mr. Luo?"

Dou Jinhan felt a little incredible. You must know that the first condition Luo Xingchen offered was too generous. It was almost the same as giving money.

"There is only one request. The person in charge of this business must be you. It cannot be anyone else in the family. That's all. You go back and talk to the head of the family. If you come to my house to discuss it another day, I will call Yang Hanzhu.

.”

Luo Xingchen said with a slight smile.

He has already extended an olive branch. As for whether the Dou family understands it or not, it depends on their choice.

"Okay, I will tell Grandpa everything today."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dou Jinhan hurriedly left the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

…

The Dou family was brightly lit at this time. In a main room, several Dou family members gathered together. Dou Jinde, the head of the Dou family, sat on the seat in the middle, holding a cigarette rod in his hand and puffing away smoke.

The other two elders of the Dou family, Dou Liangcai and Dou Huamao, were also sitting with straight faces and did not speak.

Dou Hui and six members of the Dou family who were of the same generation as him sat at the bottom, their heads lowered, all of them dejected.

"Master, this disaster caused by Dou Hui is really serious. Our Dou family has been deceived." Dou Huamao said something after a long time.

"Huamao, don't say this again. We have said it many times before. Although Dou Hui was at fault, he was not the one who made the decision at that time. It was the collective decision of the family. If something goes wrong, none of us can escape.

Give up responsibility." The speaker was Dou Liangcai.

"Aren't I impatient? Okay, I won't talk about Dou Hui, but now we pin the prosperity and decline of the family on Dou Jinhan. Isn't it too hasty? Although he is an official, he is still young, so he is really capable of doing this.

Is it thorough?" Dou Huamao asked.

"Can you come up with a better way?" Dou Liangcai raised his eyes. His voice was a bit old, but he was not as old as the family leader Dou Jinde. It was just a natural voice.

"I can't, can you?" Dou Huamao blew his beard and stared.

"What's the matter? You want to argue with me again, right? Do you want to play with both hands?" Dou Liangcai slapped the table and stood up.

"Just have fun, no one is afraid of whom."

Dou Huamao reached out and took out three dice from his pocket.

"You two, can you please calm down? The boss is no longer young, why are you still fighting over each other? What's the point of playing? The Dou family is almost wiped out by you."

Dou Jinde's gray beard almost stood up in anger.

But my heart was almost broken.

He was helpless. When the Qi Dynasty was founded, the Dou family offended Qi Taizu. Later, Qi Taizu spared him. In order to show weakness, the Dou family revised the family rules. The Dou family could eat, drink, and have fun, and not talk about state affairs, so that the descendants

People who live in eating, drinking and having fun, very few who are well-educated, can at most be elected to the imperial examination, and maintain the dignity of the family without getting involved in the court.

"We will fight again another day."

Seeing that Dou Jinde was really angry, the two of them hesitated and sat down in silence.

Dou Jinde glanced at them, and his heart ached when he saw those dandy boys at the bottom.

The people of Dou Hui's generation sitting below are not much better. They are not as good as Dou Hui.

Dou Jinde took a long puff of cigarette, and the smoke made him cough several times.

In the haze of smoke, I seemed to see the housekeeper running in from outside.

"How unbecoming is it to run so fast? Be more careful next time." Dou Jinde narrowed his eyes and scolded.

The housekeeper hurriedly confessed, and then he gasped: "The young master is back."

"Which young master?" Dou Jinde did not respond.

"Master Han." The housekeeper was stunned for a moment.

"Quick, let him in." Dou Jinde finally came to his senses and shouted loudly.

Not long after, Dou Jinhan walked in quickly from outside.

"Jin Han, how was your conversation with the young master of the Luo family?" Dou Jinde asked hurriedly.

The rest of the people focused their attention on Dou Jinhan.
