A carriage is not something that can be found in an ordinary farmyard.
In the entire Xiaowan Village, only the two wealthy and wealthy gentlemen's family could afford to keep a horse-drawn carriage.
Buying a carriage requires more than 100 taels of silver, not to mention the silver needed to raise a horse for a year. In an ordinary farmyard, a family of more than ten or twenty people can spend less than 100 taels of silver on daily expenses throughout the year. Who can raise a horse?
Can you afford a carriage?
However, the one parked at the door did not belong to the wealthy and auspicious gentlemen. The servants following the carriage looked unfamiliar and did not look like they were from the village.
"Hey, there is a carriage in front of our house!" Dongchang and Dongshi, who were following Dong Nuan, cried out in surprise after seeing the carriage, and couldn't wait to run over to watch the excitement.
There was only one Dong Yao left, and he only dared to walk around the house. When he walked out the door, he was a coward. He wanted to go but didn't dare at the moment. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Dong Nuan mentally guessed the possible owner of this carriage, walking leisurely.
Dong Yao was so anxious that he finally had the courage to ask: "Sister, aren't you curious and don't want to see it?"
"It's not mine, what am I looking at?" Dong Nuan replied casually, choking Dong Yao back.
Dong Yao thought in his mind, you are really big-hearted, do you still think that the carriage belongs to you?
However, he was too timid to say it.
Other members of the Dong family also came back one after another. The people in the Dong family who were cooking white jade paste had already seen the carriage, but they did not dare to come out and ask.
Finally, after Old Man Dong came back, he stepped forward and asked about the situation.
The curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a young gentleman in rich purple clothes sitting inside.
The young master looked quite good, and the folding fan kept shaking in his hand. There was also an ice basin on the small table in front of him. The ice cubes inside were steaming with air-conditioning, making the entire carriage at a comfortable temperature.
There was more than one person sitting in the carriage. In addition to the driver, there was also a servant accompanying the driver.
There were two boys following in the carriage, and two servants standing behind the carriage.
This was a bit grand, at least for Xiaowan Village. Dong Nuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The young master didn't say anything, but the servant sitting next to the coachman sneered and said, "Is this Dong Panchun's house?"
When Dong Laowu's name was mentioned, Mr. Dong's heart trembled, and he always felt that something was not going well!
Old Man Dong thought about countless possibilities in his mind, but he couldn't show it on his face. The other party was still polite for the time being, but he couldn't get angry.
"Yes, yes, please tell me who you are..." Old Man Dong bowed his hands politely, and was ready to find out the other party's identity.
"Dong Panchun borrowed twenty taels of silver from our young master before. At that time, we agreed to pay it back within half a month. Now that the half-month date has arrived, Dong Panchun not only failed to pay back the money, but also ran away. There is no other way. Our family
The young master has no choice but to come over and ask for it in person. This is the IOU written by Dong Panchun himself." After the servant finished speaking, he shook the IOU away and showed it to Old Man Dong.
When Old Man Dong heard that Dong Laowu had actually borrowed twenty taels of silver from outside, his eyes darkened.
It was lunch break right now, and every household was running home to avoid the hottest sun at noon.
As soon as I heard that there was a lot of fun to watch, and there was also an expensive carriage, I quickly came over.
At this time, I no longer feel upset or hot, I just feel...
Well, this melon is so delicious!
"This young master, this..." Old Man Dong wanted to say something else, but his mouth moved, and in the end nothing came out. He could only shout coldly: "Lao Wu Dong, come here."
Dong Nuan originally wanted to come forward and watch the excitement, but Hanjiang Tower came over.
He went to sell firewood this morning and came back a little late, but he didn't wait on his way to school in Dongnuan.
I was hurrying and hurrying, originally I thought I couldn't get enough of Dong Nuan, so I had to go to Dong's house to call for help.
As a result, as soon as I came over, I saw a lot of people outside Dong's courtyard, and Dong Nuan was standing on tiptoe watching the excitement.
Hanjianglou sold a load of good firewood and got 700 cash. Before he even got warm, he went to buy some snacks for Dong Nuan.
Now that it's so hot that I can't put anything in it, Hanjianglou didn't buy much, I just bought some hawthorn strips, ten small pieces in total, each one was as thick as a finger that hadn't been warmed in the winter.
But such a small thing is quite expensive because it contains sugar, otherwise it would not be able to suppress the sour taste of hawthorn.
After walking over, ignoring Dong Yao who was almost huddled up behind him, Hanjianglou handed the paper bag wrapped with hawthorn strips to Dong Nuan and said softly: "Nuan Ya, keep it to eat."
"What is it?" Dong Nuan was quite surprised that she didn't encounter the humanoid elixir at noon.
But I didn't think much about it. I was a little surprised when I saw people.
I was also a little curious about what the other party handed me.
Dong Nuan asked softly while taking the things over.
After opening the things, I also heard Hanjianglou's reply: "A little hawthorn strips, Nuanya, eat it and see if you like it. If you eat well, I will buy it for you later."
"Hmm." Dong Nuan thought this thing was quite strange, so she picked up one and tasted it.
It's sour and sweet, and tastes pretty good.
"It's delicious." After Dong Nuan swallowed one, she raised her head and said to Hanjianglou with a smile.
Seeing that she liked it, Hanjianglou couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch her head and said softly: "Well, I'll bring it to you next time."
Dong Yao no longer cares about looking at the carriage in front of him. He is so greedy at the hawthorn sticks right in front of him that he is almost drooling.
However, he didn't dare to ask for it.
He is afraid of Hanjiang Tower and the warmth of winter.
In front of the fence yard, Dong Laowu was already drunk by Mr. Dong, who asked him about the IOU with a cold face.
"Dad, studying costs money. I don't have enough money. I have no choice, so I borrowed it. I..." Dong Laowu didn't dare to say that he used the money for food, drink and fun. He only said that it was because of studying.
When the young man sitting in the car heard what he said, he covered his face with a fan and chuckled softly.
He didn't say much, but the servant who spoke before sneered and said: "Our young master doesn't care how the money is spent. The repayment date has come, and our young master is here to ask for the money."
"Dad, save me, save me!" Dong Laowu didn't have any money. He originally wanted to coax Mrs. Dong to take the money and pay it back quietly.
As a result, the matter was exposed and even the chance to study was lost.
At this moment, he was panicking.
Seeing him acting cowardly like this, Old Man Dong was so angry that he felt dizzy.
He originally thought that this son was at best a poor student, but what was the result?
The noble man sitting in the car didn't speak and just looked at him coldly.
Seeing Dong Laowu like this, he smiled and said: "Dong is looking forward to spring, and it is natural to pay back debts. If you can't come up with the money today, then we will have to go see the official."
The reason why the young master spoke at this time was naturally because he was afraid that Dong Laowu would show too much fear and show that his family was not a serious family and would break his legs if he didn't pay back the money.
