The Marquis took a serious look at Meng Tianbo. His clothes were made of fine ice blue silk, embroidered with elegant and quiet bamboo leaf patterns, and the jade-colored piping complemented the mutton-fat jade hairpin on his head. He was a gentleman with extraordinary bearing. Not only that, his temperament
He also has this kind of nobility, which is beyond the reach of Meng Tianqi. Two times before and after, they turned out to be two completely different people. If his daughter hadn't valued Meng Tianqi's talent, he would have felt that this young master was more worthy of his daughter.
"Huh, who wouldn't use the money in the house to make up for it?" Meng Tianqi didn't care whether Meng Tianbo came to give the one hundred thousand taels of silver on time, but Master Meng couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. He saved Meng Tianqi enough face.
But he didn't cherish it, so he had to say, "Your eldest brother has not used any of the money in the house. If it is so simple, does dad still need to bother so much?"
"How is that possible?" Meng Tianqi simply didn't believe it.
"Please ask the two shopkeepers to talk to my father in detail." Meng Tianbo stepped aside, came to Xu Ruoshui and his concubine, and said softly, "Why are you all here?"
Xu Ruoshui wanted to explain, but she heard Shopkeeper Wang say to Mr. Meng, "Mr. Meng, we have been doing business with you for many years, and some of us have even had dealings with you even under the hands of our father. If it hadn't been for this time, Mr. Meng would have been doing business with you for many years."
After lobbying, we will never set foot in the Meng Mansion again, so I came here this time for no other reason than Master Meng's word whether we can continue to interact with each other in the future."
"Me? What do you want to ask me..." Meng Tianqi said arrogantly.
"To be honest, the money that Second Young Master Meng wanted to compensate us was far more than one hundred thousand taels of silver. If it weren't for the face of Master Meng and Uncle Meng, we would have pursued it to the end. Even the King of Heaven, I also teach the king's law," Wang
The shopkeeper knew that the man next to him in yellow python and purple clothes was Mr. Hou, so he said this, and first choked Mr. Hou, "I came today just to continue discussing the business with the second young master."
There was business to talk about, and Meng Tianqi immediately regained his energy. Who said he couldn't make money, so he asked his own father to open his eyes today, and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, please tell me."
Shopkeepers Wang and Mao looked at each other and said, "We are willing to pay half the price to buy the goods from the second young master."
"What...what..." Meng Tianqi seemed not to hear clearly and asked repeatedly.
"Half the price, we only need fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Impossible," Meng Tianqi refused without even thinking about it. Mr. Meng also had no idea why the two shopkeepers suddenly changed their minds. They didn't want any goods before.
"It's like this," Meng Tianbo came forward to explain. After all, the two shopkeepers just came here to ask for money. "Tianqi, your goods are worth about fifty thousand taels. I collected the remaining silver from your private money. If
If it's not enough, the house can be sold for ten thousand taels of silver."
Meng Tianqi's face immediately turned pale.
"What kind of private money? What kind of house?" Mr. Meng didn't know about this at all, so he pulled Meng Tianbo and asked, "All the money in the house requires my consent before it can be withdrawn."
"Four months ago, Tianqi, you deposited 20,000 taels of silver into Jixiang Bank. Three months ago, you deposited another 5,000 taels. A month later, you deposited another 5,000 taels. What I said is correct, right?
." Meng Tianbo told them one by one. With his intelligence, it was not difficult to remember just a few numbers.
Xu Ruoshui did a rough calculation and found that twenty thousand taels was his dowry money. Adding two five thousand taels, it was thirty thousand taels of silver, which was still twenty thousand taels short of fifty thousand taels.
Meng Tianbo knocked on the thick account book and said, "Dad, I have to ask my mother for the remaining money. The account book in the backyard is short of thirty or forty thousand taels. Dad, please ask me."
Looking at the account book filled with notes, Mr. Meng opened it in disbelief. After reading the records above, he almost lost his balance and said, "This is really unreasonable."
They say he can't stand being angry, but this time Mr. Meng was really angry. He fell down on the chair and gritted his teeth.
"Dad, dad..." Meng Tianbo hurriedly opened Master Meng's teeth to prevent him from biting himself.
"Hey, Master Meng," the Marquis shook his head regretfully, "I have seen today that a bastard has so much power." It was quite a bit of a mockery, but so much money still made the Marquis's eyes brighten.
Liang Liang, it was unexpected that Meng Tianqi was so smart and had so much money in just half a year.
Master Meng finally calmed down, his lips trembling and unable to speak.
Xu Ruoshui probably knew that Meng Tianbo increased most of Mrs. Meng's purchases in the mansion by one-third more money, and the extra money was given to Meng Tianqi. How could Meng Tianbo find his private money?
"It's simply a frame-up," Meng Tianqi naturally wanted to defend himself, "This is obviously the elder brother who deliberately framed me. How could my mother give me so much money in private?"
"Tianqi, all that money passed under my nose. The bank where you deposited the money is in my mother's name, and you were framed. As for the money that Madam lost, you will know after asking Madam." Meng Tianbo said.
Jixiang Bank was opened by Wan Qiu's father when he came to the city. It was used to make a living. Otherwise, how would he be able to support so many dead soldiers.
Meng Tianbo just cleverly increased the interest rate of the bank and spread the word to Meng Tianqi, which naturally brought him into the net. Xu Ruoshui later found out about this and asked him with a smile how many other things she didn't know.
Meng Tianbo mysteriously said that one day he would let her know everything one by one, but Xu Ruoshui himself didn't know when that day would be.
"So treacherous," Meng Tianqi gritted his teeth.
"Then, Second Young Master, I want to buy your goods at half price. Are you willing or not? We have other things to do, so we can't stay long." Shopkeeper Wang heard that this would be a family secret, so he urged.
"Tianqi, do you have any other choice?" Mr. Meng calmed down and asked in a deep voice. His wife and son, whom he trusted so much, would actually deceive him.
"Dad, why do you only believe in him?" Meng Tianqi pointed at Meng Tianbo and asked Master Meng.
"You~~~you said that you lost money in your previous business, so you took your concubine's money to fill the gap, so I paid the money back to her for you. It turns out that you actually deposited the money in the bank. Now you can
Tell me, what's going on in that house? Isn't there even a place for you to live in such a huge mansion? You are selfish, but you still refuse to admit your mistake."
