[Red House] Second Master Liangshang Lian

Sun Shaozu explained: "The 500 taels are of great use to me. I inquired about the prices of the best shops in the area, but they cost 200 taels to buy. Decorating a shop is also a lot of money. Craftsman Liang’s wages, to tell you the truth, Craftsman Liang is related to our old Sun’s family, so I can’t treat him harshly in terms of wages, right?”

Jia Lian nodded thoughtfully, "What you said is indeed reasonable, but 500 taels is not a small amount. Even if this matter can be settled today, I can't give you so much silver taels at once."

Sun Shaozu seemed a little anxious about this, for fear that Jia Lian would regret it the next day, but Jia Lian made it very clear that there was no rush for this matter, he couldn't put the knife on Jia Lian's neck and ask him to take out 500 taels today .

For him, Jia Lian is his God of Wealth, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that the God of Wealth must never be offended.

Thinking of this, he began to flatter Jia Lian again: "Brother Lian said that there is still a lot to rely on you in the future, and I hope Brother Lian will not think I am clumsy, and I will never forget you when I make money. Let the brothers get rich together!"

Before the shop opened, he already thought of getting rich.

How could such a person run a successful shop.

At this moment, Xing'er came to report that Craftsman Dou had completed his assessment and was waiting to answer Jia Lian.

When he came to the Beauty Pavilion again, Craftsman Liang no longer had the shrinking expression on his face. At this moment, he held his head up and stood beside Sun Shaozu as if he had made a great contribution.

In contrast, Craftsman Dou's expression was quite normal.

"What do you think, Brother Dou?" At this moment, Jia Lian already had the answer in his heart.

Craftsman Dou replied honestly: "Although it's not a superb workmanship, the basic grinding and smelting are pretty good."

Hearing this, Sun Shaozu was relieved, and then he showed a smug smile: "I'm right! Although it is not as good as Craftsman Dou, Craftsman Liang has been a jewelry craftsman for several years, and his strength is still unbelievable." Underestimated."

As if responding to Sun Shaozu's appreciation, Craftsman Liang actually nodded.

"In that case, Brother Sun will come over tomorrow to write the IOU."

That is to ask Sun Shaozu to come over tomorrow to pick up the silver taels.

Sun Shaozu was overjoyed after hearing this, and he was willing to leave after he praised Jia Lian from head to toe.

After closing the shop in the evening, Jia Lian and Craftsman Dou talked about it in the studio.

"I didn't expect that Liang is really a jewelry craftsman, and his craftsmanship is passable. Second master, what do you think he is willing to go to Sun Shaozu's shop to make jewelry. Then Sun Shaozu is not a good person at first glance, is he blind?"

Jia Lian told Craftsman Dou what Sun Shaozu said that he and the craftsman were distant relatives. Hearing this, Craftsman Dou suddenly laughed: "The two of them have different accents, are they distant relatives? How far away is this? I'm afraid it's wrong to say that. To make people laugh out loud."

"Since he dared to bring the man, it means that he is very sure. It seems that I really have to lend him the money." Jia Lian said lightly.

"He asked how much you borrowed?"

"500 taels."

"500 taels? Thanks to him being able to say it!" Craftsman Dou slapped the wooden table so hard that it almost broke the legs of the table. "You don't really want to lend it to him, do you? If his business fails, Not to mention the interest, even the 500 taels you won’t get back a penny.”

"Of course I understand this. It's just that if I don't lend it to him, he will borrow it from my father. My father has always been soft-hearted. When the time comes to lend the money without even an IOU, things will become even worse. Difficult."

"Master Jia is such a generous person?" Craftsman Dou expressed his doubts.

Few people in Jinling don't know what kind of person the Grand Master of Rongguo Mansion is.At that time, because of Jia She's reputation, he was still worried about whether Jia Lian was the same as his father, but after getting along with him, he was very sure that Jia Lian and Jia She were different, completely different.

Of course Jia Lian knew what Craftsman Dou was thinking, so he just smiled and said, "Brother Dou, don't feel sorry for the hundreds of taels of silver for me. Don't forget that I am a businessman. No matter how much silver I lend him, I will pay him in the end." It will be returned together with the principal and interest."

Craftsman Dou knew Jia Lian well, and Jia Lian was always steady, let alone talking nonsense, since he dared to say that, there was nothing to worry about.

When he was about to leave, Craftsman Dou realized that Xing'er was not there, "Where did Xing'er go?"

"I told him to go and do something for me."

The next day, when Sun Shaozu came to Jia Lian's office, flattery was inevitable. Jia Lian listened patiently to his long speech before slowly saying, "I've prepared the money."

After finishing speaking, Jia Lian put a stack of bank notes in front of Sun Shaozu.

But just when Sun Shaozu's hand was about to touch the bank note, Jia Lian stopped him, "Brother Sun wait a minute."

Sun Shaozu slowly withdrew his hand, and smiled awkwardly: "Look at my hurry, I made Brother Lian laugh. Then let's write the IOU first?"

"Before writing the IOU, I have to make my words clear. I can only lend you 250 taels at most."

"What... this... two hundred and five... I, I... two hundred and five..." Sun Shaozu stuttered when he heard that it was only 250 taels.

Jia Lian corrected him solemnly, "I didn't say you were two hundred and five."

Sun Shaozu wanted to cry but said without tears: "Why did Lian brother change his mind after one day has passed?"

Jia Lian's complexion did not change, but his tone was unquestionable: "Brother Sun didn't know something, I originally planned to open a restaurant next month, and it was time to spend money, but Brother Sun borrowed 500 taels from me as soon as he opened his mouth. It made me very embarrassed, so I decided to postpone opening the restaurant for a few months. Even so, I still have no way to lend you 500 taels at once, but I have to help you, so I will first lend you 250 taels to open the jewelry The shop should be enough."

After hearing these words, Sun Shaozu had a moved expression on his face, but in fact he doubted Jia Lian's words in his heart.In his opinion, even if Jia Lian didn't have 500 taels, Rongguo Mansion did.Even though he thought so, at this juncture, he absolutely did not dare to speak too much. If he offended Jia Lian, he would not even get two hundred and fifty taels.

"250 taels is fine, so can I write an IOU?"

Jia Lian asked Xing'er to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it in front of Sun Shaozu, and then he handed the written IOU to Sun Shaozu, "Just copy it as you want."

Sun Shaozu hurriedly took the IOU and wrote it down.

Jia Lian, on the other hand, was eating snacks leisurely.

And Sun Shaozu suddenly raised his head in the middle of writing the IOU, his face was a little ugly, "It will be repaid in five months with interest, this..."

Jia Lian sighed: "Brother Sun should also understand that the interest of five taels a month is not much. If Brother Sun thinks that paying 55 taels a month is too much, I can also reduce it for you appropriately, but the interest will have to increase. "
