When she married Cheng Yaojin, Cui was already in her 30s, and she was also a "second marriage".

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, and it was nothing new for women to remarry.

Although Cheng Yaojin and Cui Shi are not the original couple, their relationship is not bad, but for Cui Xin, the "cheap old man", they can't be said to have much respect.

Cheng Yaojin and Cui Xin dislike each other, but there is also a reason.

The five surnames Qiwang insisted that their family prestige was superior to others, and they were ashamed of intermarrying with other clans.When marrying a daughter to another clan, they often ask for a lot of talent.

Even Li Er couldn't tolerate the arrogance of the five surnames and seven wangs. He once said: "The five surnames Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, and Wang are arrogant and arrogant. Every time you marry a woman from another family, you must ask for money. It is expensive, and the agreement is the same as that of the market, which is very harmful to customs and has disordered etiquette. It is not appropriate for the severity, and it must be reformed."

Cheng Yaojingui is the Duke of the state, but in order to marry the Cui family that day, he was still forced to send a valuable dowry to the Qinghe Cui family.

This matter made Cheng Yaojin very annoyed, but it was inconvenient to attack.

So that day in Lu Guogong's mansion, when everyone was vying for the gambling house, Cheng Yaojin shamelessly snatched away the betting rights of the Changle gambling house of Cui's family in Qinghe, and ran to bet 5000 taels of gold .

In fact, Cheng Yaojin was still showing face to his wife, and only bet 5000 taels.Otherwise, if ten thousand taels of gold were thrown down, the Cui family of Qinghe would lose even more.

But Cui Xin would not like Cheng Yaojin because of this.

He was already in a bad mood, but now seeing Cheng Yaojin being shameless, asking him to recover the bet in front of the sage and all the officials in the hall, he was so angry that his nose almost crooked.

But above the main hall, Cheng Yaojin was able to shamelessly ask for bets in public, but Cui Xin couldn't turn his back on him, and could only admit it with his nose pinched.

"What is Lu Guogong talking about? I, Qinghe Cui, can't be that bad guy? The 5000 taels of gold that should be paid to you is naturally a lot of money, and I will pay you in full!"

After Cui Xin said this, he put on a straight face, and stopped looking at that bastard Cheng Yaojin, for fear that he couldn't help it for a while, and get angry.

"Hey, that's a good relationship. Thank you, Mr. Cui. The Changle Gambling House is really good. I will often go to take care of the business in the future."

Cheng Yaojin was so angry that Cui Xin almost had a heart attack.

Cheng Yaojin took the lead, and Yuchi Jingde, Chai Lingwu and others were not polite. Right above this hall, in front of Li Er and all the officials, they demanded the money they had won from the aristocratic family behind the gambling house they had bet on. bet.

Li Er was not annoyed, let alone stopped, but watched this scene with great interest.

The patriarchs of those aristocratic families couldn't say a word "no" in this hall, so they could only pinch their noses to recognize it.They all promised that after the next dynasty, they would pay the full amount of gold.

Wang Renyou, Zheng Yuanshou and Cui Xin were all regretful at this moment.

Not only did the families suffer heavy losses, but they also lost a lot of rice by stealing chickens.

And for Li Wangyou who did all this, the family hated him even more.

Especially the Taiyuan Wang family hated Li Wang to the bottom of his heart, and wished that he could be skinned, dismantled, and rasped to ashes to vent his anger.

But before Wang Renyou figured out how to deal with Li Wangyou, he heard Li Er suddenly speak from the throne.

"My lords, Huxian Bo has been in the palace to protect the queen's birth in recent days, which is considered to be hard work and hard work. I originally wanted him to stay in the palace for a longer time, so as to reward Huxian Bo for his hard work. But he bid farewell to me early this morning, saying that his family had no money for the night, and he had to go to Yongyi Casino to collect bets to subsidize his family. Hey, this county uncle is only sixteen years old now, and he has no father or mother , It's very pitiful, you uncles, you can't bully him when he is young!"

Li Er's words, heard Wang Renyou's ears, he was so angry that he almost jumped up and scolded his mother.

What is it all about?

Li Er, how can you say such nonsense?

Why did that bastard Li Wangyou have no overnight money and food in his family, so he wanted to collect bets to subsidize his family?In Chang'an City, who doesn't know that Li's family is making a fortune every day?

The properties of the Li family have long been envious of their aristocratic family. If there were no members of the royal family among them, they would have already started to snatch them.

Isn't Li Er's words just to help the boy surnamed Li to get gambling debts?

Above this hall, who doesn't know that Yongyi Gambling House is the property of Taiyuan Wang's family?

The main hall, which was originally extremely noisy because of Cheng Yaojin and others asking for gambling debts on the main hall, now became even more lively with Li Er's words.

In the Tai Chi Hall, all the ministers who had nothing to do with this matter became melon eaters, and turned their attention to Wang Renyou with great interest.

Even the sage opened his mouth to collect gambling debts for Uncle Hu, tsk tsk, what a great face.

It is conceivable that the position of this county uncle in the heart of the sage is really simple in the heart of the emperor.

Wang Renyou's face turned blue and white, and he was speechless for a long time.

Now, what else can he say?

But at the thought of paying Li Wangyou 5 taels of gold, Wang Renyou felt his heart bleed.

30 copper coins!

In the current Tang Dynasty, only 30 coins of Kaiyuan Tongbao are newly minted by the court every year, which shows how rich Li Wangyou has reaped this time.

Not only Li Wangyou, but Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Chai Lingwu and other state and county princes also made a lot of money.

To be able to cut flesh and drink blood from a family member is really extremely enjoyable.

When the daily court was over, Wang Renyou walked out of the Taiji Palace with a livid face, and saw his family members pacing back and forth outside the palace gate anxiously.Seeing him, the head of the family, the clan members trotted forward and whispered about the fact that Uncle Hu went to Yongyi gambling house to block the door to ask for debts early in the morning.

Although Wang Renyou was well prepared in his heart, when he heard this, he still couldn't stop the blood from surging in his heart, and he almost cursed regardless of his status.

The distance between his chest was heaving and he gasped heavily. It took him a while to suppress the evil fire in his heart, and he ordered in a hoarse voice: "Let the treasury in the mansion count the gold and copper coins and pay him back! Report! I am the Wang family of Taiyuan, and I will be sworn to death with this beast!"

When Wang Renyou cursed fiercely, Li Wangyou couldn't help but sneezed a few times.

He rubbed his nose and looked at shopkeeper Wang again: "It's almost noon today, how long are you going to pay for your gold? You don't have time to grind your teeth here with you!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry about Huxian Bo. The 5 taels of gold is really a huge amount. Please forgive Huxian Bo..." Shopkeeper Wang was about to cry, and he had foreseen that his end would not be good. very good.

Although the bet was originally made by Patriarch Wang Renyou who signaled him to take it.But he can be sure that he will be treated as a scapegoat and severely punished by his family...

449 Private Money Official Money

After Wang Renyou spoke, the Taiyuan Wang family naturally did not waste any more time.

Soon, an endless stream of carriages drove into the Yongyi gambling house in Xuanyangfang, and unloaded carts of copper coins and silk.

The Taiyuan Wang family also deliberately disgusted Li Wangyou. There was enough gold in the treasury, but they deliberately did not take it out. Instead, they brought in carts of copper coins and silk.

Even these copper coins have been stored in Taiyuan Wang's treasury for too long.Many of the ropes connecting the copper coins were rotten and broken, and the scattered copper coins were piled up in random baskets like this.

There are quite a few copper coins, which are even covered with rust, and look very dilapidated.

Li Wangyou didn't dislike it either, as long as the amount was given enough, the copper coins would be copper coins, and even the silk that he always disliked, he planned to take it.

Anyway, silk was also used as currency in Datang.

Two bolts of silk are worth one copper coin.
