Chapter 78 Bet

Not only Yan Zhaoshi and Yan Zhaolin were shocked, but also the prefect was shocked. As for Yan Xuehuai, he was so impressed that he was full of admiration.

Before this, she thought that her bargaining ability was OK, but now, she deeply felt her shortcomings. She couldn't help but think of the big jars that were turned into treasures by Li Qiniang, and decided to hand over Li Shiji's account book to Li Qiniang when she went back.

The prefect: "The price of Luoguxiang house is 250 taels, can you two agree?"

The Yan brothers opened their mouths wide and they did not recover until the prefect asked twice.

Yan Zhaolin shouted: "No, 250 taels, does she think our Yan family is a dilapidated? If you want to buy such a large house with such a small amount of money, it is better to rob it!"

Yan Zhaoshi was still surprised by Li Qiniang's words. He always knew that Li Qiniang could settle the score, but he never knew that Li Qiniang was so good at settle the score. No wonder she opened the dowry restaurant into a big restaurant in the old capital in just a few years.

At that time, he often held poetry meetings in his restaurant, calling friends, how glorious, but now he has spent a lot of money on just 250 taels of money.

If his former classmates knew about it, his reputation...

Seeing that he was silent, Yan Zhaolin became anxious and hit his elbow. Yan Zhaoshi staggered and almost fell down, but his mind became clear.

The money owed Li Qiniang is not a little bit, but it is still several thousand less. Judging from the current situation, Li Qiniang will not give up. Her mother and elder brother thought it was too simple. This is the capital, not the countryside, and this was sentenced through the yamen. If they don’t give the money, the yamen will really arrest me.

There is still Enko next year. Wang Fang said that as long as Enko takes the exam, as long as he does not perform too badly, he will have a bright future waiting for him.

And there are also Asu and Xiuzhu's son. They cannot be influenced by my mother. They will also have to go to the imperial examination and become officials in the future.

Yan Zhaoshi gritted his teeth, but looked at Li Qiniang: "I can pay you 250 taels for this house, but you must also agree to give the repayment period."

Li Qiniang smiled slightly: "What if the Yan family still doesn't pay back the money after three years? Even if the yamen retains the case, but time has changed, can Yan Guo be arrested and put into prison? Master Yan Er, I don't care whether I want this house or not, but it's not too rare. If you either take money or use the goods, you have to pay me all the money and use it. Whether you borrow or sell it has nothing to do with me."

Yan Zhaoshi was so angry that he pointed at Li Qiniang: "Li, you are so kind to you. If I had known this, I wouldn't marry you!"

Li Qiniang sneered: "If you hadn't married me back then, you wouldn't be even a juren, and your whole family wouldn't be standing on the land of the capital at this moment."

"Have you ever thought about Sister Huai? She will get married in the future, and will anyone marry her? She can't be a concubine for others." Yan Zhaoshi was so angry that she was embarrassed.

"If no one dares to marry, then just ask for a husband. Instead of marrying a beast like you, it is better not to marry. I have few books and don't expect my son-in-law to join the cabinet and become the prime minister. Just live a good life with my daughter, so it doesn't matter if you marry or take a romance."

After Li Qiniang finished speaking, she didn't want to talk nonsense to Yan Zhaoshi anymore, and saluted the prefect and said, "Prince, the civilian woman is worried that the Yan family will escape overnight. The civilian woman does not understand the law. I wonder if they run away, will she not have to pay back the money?"

Escape?

The prefect was getting bigger again, why didn't he expect this? If the Yan family really ran away, the money would not be paid out. Duke Ding would not give him good fruits. This is the truth.

The master was extremely disgusted with the Yan family. He heard this and quickly inserted money at any time and said to the prefect: "Sir, why not deduct one of the Yan family and let the others turn over the money?"

"Well, this is a good idea." The prefect's eyes fell on Yan Zhaolin.

Don't worry, he wouldn't have detained Mrs. Guo. If that old pious woman was locked up in the horn, the gong-like crying could shake the roof of the horn.

As for Yan Zhaoshi, although he is not a good person, he is still a juren after all. The prefect himself is a scholar. The relationship between scholars is complicated. In addition, he is a classmates, a fellow student, and a fellow villager, Yan Zhaoshi might be able to borrow money.

If you can't borrow money from your friends, you can always borrow money from Yinzi.

"Then let it be, Juren Yan, you go back to raise money, and I will stay in the yamen first. Don't worry, it is safest for me to stay in the yamen."

I believe you!

Yan Zhaolin would not believe that he would be safe in the account. He looked at his second brother who was in a mess and felt more and more that his second brother was a coward.

Yan Zhaoshi sighed. If he wanted to calm the matter down and protect his and Ashu's future, it seemed that this would be the only way to go.

He knew several wealthy friends, such as the Tang poet who wrote poetry with him. Thousands of taels of silver were not a big deal for them.

The yamen runner took Yan Zhaoshi away, who was screaming, and Yan Zhaoshi also left dejectedly.

Yan Xuehuai looked at the pile of jewelry heads and asked, "Sir, since this is our mother and daughter's thing, can we take it away?"

The prefect nodded and asked the master to take them to go through the procedures, list the details, press the handprint, and then the items were returned to the owner.

Although they did not get 10,000 taels of silver, they were lost and recovered, and the mother and daughter were very happy.

Yan Xuehuai borrowed a piece of bag from the master, poured these things in one go, and then put them on his back and the mother and daughter left the yamen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the yamen, I saw an acquaintance. Hao Chong and Da He and others were squatting under the tree and eating melons. When they saw them coming out, Da He Huo stood up and asked, "Has the Yan family lost money?"

Yan Xuehuai shook her head.

Da He immediately shouted excitedly and said to Hao Chong: "How is it, Zhuangyuan Building?"

Hao Chong gritted his teeth, what did Fusheng do? Such a small thing was not done well, so he could compensate him for a banquet.

"I admit that I'm going to lose and go together tonight, the top scholar building."

Yan Xuehuai watched coldly and guessed that they were betting on their own affairs.

No wonder the people from Wuchengsi are so active.

It’s not just a bet on them for nothing, they always have to do some work.

So Hao Chong and the Wuchengsi were bodyguards for the mother and daughter and sent them to the Shizi Hutong. Li Qiniang said that they would sit in Li Shiji, but the few refused. Going to Li Shiji was like going to the Zhuangyuan Building, and they also had to go to the Zhuangyuan Building to eat a big family.

Hao Chong was so angry that he wished he could hold Fusheng down and beat him up now.
