Daming Junior Scholar

"Oh?" Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, and said in puzzlement, "Master He has something to say."

"Then I'll be presumptuous. May I ask if the Wang family will have a happy event tomorrow?"

"Happy event?" Wang Wei blinked, then seemed to think of something, and said with some hesitation: "Master He is referring to the matter of marrying a concubine?"

Sure enough, it was their family. Thinking of Wang Wei being so proficient in accidents, He Jiaan felt hopeful, nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Hehe, what kind of happy event is this?" Wang Wei couldn't help snorting when he heard that it was so, then shook his head and said, "Your Excellency only knows one thing, not the other, and I haven't seen the word happy in my house." Didn't even post it, this marriage is not what I want at all."

"Oh?" Now it's He Jiaan's turn to be puzzled, what's going on?Su Hongxiu came all the way from Qingjiangpu to get married. The lovers didn't want to marry her at all. This one didn't want to marry, and the other didn't want to marry. How did this marriage come about?

It seems that He Jiaan should have come here for this matter. Before He Jiaan could ask, Wang Wei began to complain.

The cause of the matter started a year ago. The Wang family is indeed a big family, and it has been passed down for more than ten generations. Its own business has spread almost throughout the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, it also has its own business in Jiangnan. Last year, Wang When Wei went to Nanjing, he met someone who was none other than Su Hongxiu's father, Su Yuan.

At this time, Su Yuan had no backer, and his daughter pointed to Jinghu Villa to live, and she wanted to make a comeback, but first, she had no backer, and second, she had no capital. After meeting Wang Wei, she had a bad idea and turned herself In addition to being packaged as a hidden official, he also specially took Wang Wei to live in Jinghu Villa for a few days. After appreciating the atmosphere of Jinghu Villa, Wang Wei also felt that this brother Wang was indeed very powerful, a man who could accomplish great things. So the two of them agreed that the Wang family would be responsible for handing over valuable things such as fur and ginseng from the north to Su Yuan, and asked him to sell them in Jiangnan.

If you want to sell it, you must have the capital. Su Yuan doesn't have so much capital now. He asked Su Hongxiu for it, but Su Hongxiu refused to give it to him. In desperation, he could only change his house and land. After selling it, a large sum of money was collected and finally took over the Wang family's business.

At the beginning, the business of the two of them was really good. After Su Yuan sold the goods, he added a batch of new goods. Just like this, he made some money, but the profits were not the same as before. Bi Ke was much worse. Gradually, Su Yuan was no longer satisfied with this kind of business. At this moment, a friend told him that smuggling to the south is more profitable now. Ever since Frangji was defeated by He Jiaan Well, no one wants things from those countries in the south, and they can earn a lot of money back just by taking a boat trip.

Obviously, Su Yuan was seduced by the grand scene this friend described, but he didn't have a lot of money in his hand, so where did he get the money to organize the fleet?

After much deliberation, Su Yuan set his sights on the money he used to do business with the Wang family.

About half a year ago, the Wang family brought another batch of goods to Nanjing, but during the handover, Su Yuan complained: "Recently, the goods are a little too heavy, and the money in hand is not enough. Can you be tolerant for a few days? Can I pay half of it first?"

Wang Wei didn't think too much about it. After all, this kind of thing also has off-season and peak season. It's normal that it can't be sold, so he agreed to it, but he never expected that after this start , Su Yuan often used bad business as an excuse to not settle the cash for himself, and he could bear it once or twice, but after such a long time, Wang Wei understood a little bit, so he went to Su Yuan directly and asked him to Hand over the silver, if you don't pay the silver, it's okay, and return the goods to yourself.

Only then did Su Yuan tell Wang Weiming that the money he had sold had already formed a fleet to go to the south, and he promised him that as long as the fleet returned, he would hand over all the money owed to him.

This time Wang Wei was also dumbfounded, and now he doesn't know what to do with Su Yuan, so he can only wait like this, who knows that after waiting and waiting, what he waits is that the fleet encountered a storm and all sank to the bottom of the sea Not to mention money, Su Yuan couldn't even pay for the funeral expenses of those crew members.

Of course, Wang Wei was not reconciled to his money being thrown away like this. He locked up Su Yuan without saying a word, and sent a message to Su Hongxiu, telling her directly that if he didn't get the money out, he would be fine. Just abolish her father.

When Su Hongxiu heard this, she naturally cared about her father too, but this villa is not all her own, there is still a part of He Jiaan in it, after thinking about it for herself, she took out all her money and collected tens of thousands of taels. Handed over to Wang Wei.

With the money, Su Yuan's mind naturally became active. Now Jinghu Villa has become a cornucopia. After thinking about it for himself, he simply thought of a way. As long as he drives his daughter away, the villa will be his own What, how should I catch up?

So he thought about it, and came up with a good idea, he wanted to marry his daughter to Su Yuan, and by the way, be a hostage in Su Yuan's place for himself.

Although Su Yuan was not reconciled, he couldn't stay in Jiangnan for a long time, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

After listening to Su Yuan's words, He Jia'an finally understood what happened, nodded slowly, and suddenly asked a question: "Then how much money does Su Yuan still owe the Wang family?"

"It's not too much, just 18 taels."

Chapter 1016

A mere 18 taels.

A simple sentence expresses the background and pride of a big family. It is not that He Jiaan's family has no money, but compared with the Wang family, it is inferior to the background accumulated over the years. This is not something that can be caught up in a short time. Things may take several generations or dozens of generations of unremitting efforts.

The Wang family may not care about the 18 taels of silver, but he has to care about it. He Jiaan secretly calculated the family's savings. A large part of the money has also been transferred to the capital, and the rest may not be able to be transferred to the capital in a short time. Seeing that tomorrow is the day to get married, if I can't get enough bargaining chips, I'm afraid I won't be able to let Wang Wei changed his mind.

While He Jiaan was silently calculating the bargaining chips he could take out, Wang Wei never bothered him. Compared with the Wang family, which He Jiaan didn't know about, Wang Wei knew about He Jiaan a long time ago, even more than He Jiaan thought. Much earlier, when He Jiaan offered corn and sweet potatoes to Beijing, Wang Wei had already received the news. When he realized in his mind how important these two crops were to Daming, he even laughed at He Jiaan in his heart , You must know that no matter who it is, as long as they master these two crops, the silver will fly into their arms like snowflakes.

However, He Jiaan dedicated the two crops to the emperor in this way. Although he also got an official position as the head of the sixth rank, in Wang Wei's eyes, He Jiaan still lost too much.

What happened next also made Wang Wei a little dizzy. Whether it was He Jiaan's destruction of the Francopier, or the burning of the Japanese pirates, or even the release of the Jinyu Qin Journal, it was enough to make people think for a long time. After thinking for a long time, Wang Wei also felt that he He couldn't understand He Jia'an, so he planned to find someone to introduce him to him, but he didn't expect that today he would come to his door and ask about the woman named Su Hongxiu.

Could it be that there is still some connection between him and her?

After waiting for a while, He Jiaan, who had already made up his mind, finally raised his head, but what he said next made Wang Wei dumbfounded.

"I paid off the Su family's 18 taels of silver debt for him, but I don't have much cash in my hand right now. I can use my house and a Yuquan Villa as collateral, if Patriarch Wang thinks it's not enough... ...I still have about twenty or so paintings of my mentor in my hand, and they can also be bet together in the Wang family. Within a year, I will definitely return the money to you with interest."

This is not 18 taels, nor 180 taels, but 18 taels of silver. I am afraid that even Wang Wei himself does not have such courage to take on such a heavy debt all at once, but he, He Jiaan, dared to, and He Jiaan Saying that he has no cash, I can understand it. His house and the Yuquan Villa are indeed enough to burn money, but the Yuquan Villa alone can pay back 18 taels a year, and I still don’t believe it. What made him even more curious was the relationship between He Jiaan and that Su Hongxiu.

Wang Wei smiled and said, "Master He, may I ask, is there any story between you and that Miss Su?"

The He family settled down, and said slowly: "It should be said that I have known her very early, but the relationship between them is not very good, but the situation has changed since a few days ago, it should be said that she is worthy of me. The woman I have spent my whole life protecting, so I want to take over this debt, and at the same time, I also want to ask Patriarch Wang to cooperate with me in a play."

"Play?" Wang Wei was surprised, but also secretly admired He Jiaan's courage. Since he was willing to take on this huge debt, why not do it himself.

"Wang is willing to do the thing of taking advantage of people's beauty."

……

Ever since the He family came back, Su Hongxiu has been shutting herself in her room, looking at the blue sky all day long without knowing what she was thinking, occasionally laughing and crying, she looks like Extremely frustrating in the legend.

Su Yuan, who sent his relatives here, saw it in his eyes, but was anxious in his heart. He was thinking that nothing would happen to Su Hongxiu. If the Wang family refused to accept it, what would he have to exchange for the 18 taels of silver?

Now as long as Hongxiu married into his family, and asked himself for money, he would have a helper to some extent, after all, he was still her father, right?

Tomorrow is the day to get married, Su Yuan is still a little worried about Su Hongxiu's state, so he simply came out of Su Hongxiu's room, first knocked on the door, and then entered the room with a peaceful smile.

Seeing that it was him, the expression on Su Hongxiu's face drooped immediately, and he said coldly: "What are you doing here?" There was no respect in the words at all.

Su Yuan didn't think it was difficult, he smiled and said: "Look at what you said, am I not your father, you will get married tomorrow, why don't you still see you today?"

"Hehe, what a joke, don't you know whether you are marrying your daughter or selling your daughter?" At this point, facing such a father, Su Hongxiu has nothing in his heart other than deep disgust. idea.

"You..." Su Yuan's mouth was suddenly choked, and he wanted to refute but didn't know where to start. He paused, and tried to persuade him: "Daughter, Dad, this is for your own good, and the Wang family has been around for a hundred years." Noble family, the family has a vast area of ​​fertile land and countless money, you will only enjoy a happy life when you marry into his family, and you won't have to work so hard in the future, just be your young mistress safely."

"Young Mistress?" Su Hongxiu couldn't help but snorted coldly, and retorted disdainfully: "It's just a thing used to pay off debts, and you still want to be someone else's Young Mistress? You really laughed out your teeth."

Although the words were rough, the reasoning was not rough. Su Yuan's face felt as if he was being burned by fire. He looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't say it. Then he sighed heavily and said, "Daughter, I know you blame Daddy. Incompetent, but daddy really has no choice. Even if you marry you into the Wang family, they will only give me three years of time. If I don’t pay the 18 taels within these three years, I will... I will... ..."

"What about you?" Su Hongxiu glanced at Su Yuan contemptuously, and then said coldly: "Then have you ever thought about how I should live these three years? After three years, even if you pay back the 18 taels What about me? Where should I go?"

Su Yuan had to admit that Su Hongxiu's ending was not in his plan at all. In his own mind, as long as he married her into the Wang family, he had no intention of paying back the money. As for what would happen to her in the Wang family, he could only decide. It's up to her to handle it.

Of course, Su Yuan definitely couldn't tell Su Hongxiu these words, so he paused for a moment and said with a serious face: "Daughter, don't worry, give father three years, and I will definitely make up the 18 taels of silver. I will pick you up from the Wang family, and we will go back to Qingjiangpu, and father will tell you a heart-warming marriage, so that you will be happy for the rest of your life."

Lovely marriage?

Hearing this, Su Hongxiu couldn't help thinking of He Jia'an again. If her father's debt was only 4 to 18 taels, she might have the courage to beg him once, but it was [-] taels, for a Is it worth it?

Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017

After sitting for a whole night, she still couldn't escape the teasing of fate. Su Hongxiu had completely given up on the rest of her life, just like a puppet, while being played by these women around her, she still had to listen to it. Those inexplicable words in their mouths.

It's really funny, how do they know that after entering the Wang's family, they will definitely enjoy happiness?Su Hongxiu felt that when his future husband-in-law saw him, he might see a whole 18 taels of silver, so how could he give him a good face?

Therefore, I can already think of how difficult my life in the Wang family will be in the future.
