This large ingot of gold is enough to make twelve taels. In this world, one tael of gold can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver. So this large ingot of gold can be exchanged for two hundred taels of silver.
Two hundred taels of silver, in Old Man Du's eyes, was simply an astronomical figure. A farmer like him would probably not be able to earn these two hundred taels if he worked hard all his life.
Therefore, for a while, Old Man Du couldn't react at all. After staying for a while, he looked at Ren Cangqiong with a strange expression.
This young man is barely a few years older than Xiao Qi. He doesn't look like a rich man at all. What does it mean to take out this huge ingot of gold?
Seeing her father like this, Xiaoqi was about to speak, but was stopped by Ren Cangqiong: "Old man Du, what money can solve is nothing. You will never have a second daughter in your life. I heard that
The third young master of the Hou family is a well-known villain. If Xiaoqi really falls into his hands, her life will be basically over. If you really want to sell your daughter, this ingot of gold must be more than the twenty or thirty taels. Otherwise, we
Just sit down and talk."
Du Qingniu also said: "Dad, don't be confused. I have also heard that Young Master Hou is a pervert. I would rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life than let Xiao Qi fall into his hands."
These words made Ren Cangqiong have a better impression of Du Qingniu.
"Brother Qingniu, with his strength and body, is still worried about not being able to be called a wife? Old man Du..." Ren Cangqiong was talking when his voice suddenly stopped and he looked at the door leisurely.
A large number of chaotic footsteps came, and a group of wolf-like servants, armed with sticks, angrily broke into the Du family yard.
Zhang De had a lawsuit look on his face and commanded the dozen servants to rush in.
Outside the door, a handsome young man with a luxurious body, carrying a birdcage in his hand, and two wolf-like thugs on each side, walked in slowly.
"Guanshi Zhang, this relative of yours doesn't know how to appreciate others?"
Du Qingniu subconsciously picked up a hoe, but Xiaoqi grabbed his brother and shook his head gently. He ran to the gate, stopped him with his immature arms, and scolded: "What do you want to do? No.
King's law?"
After all, she is a girl from a wealthy family, and she knows how to make excuses when she opens her mouth. Ren Cangqiong looked at Xiao Qi's serious look and thought it was both funny and endearing.
When Young Master Hou San saw Xiao Qi, his anxious eyes suddenly lit up. He took a few steps forward with a smile and asked: "Manager Zhang, is this little girl your niece? Tsk tsk, she is really delicate, so good! Manager Zhang,
Talk to your relatives and I will add ten taels of silver."
Zhang Deqian smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go talk to you now."
He turned around and shouted to Old Man Du: "Brother-in-law, Mr. Hou San has a good temper and is not as knowledgeable as you. Will you sign this contract today? To tell you the truth, the five taels of silver you borrowed belongs to Mr. Hou San.
If you don't sign this contract, how can you repay the third young master with your money today?"
Old man Du had never seen such a huge battle before, and he was so shocked that he lost his mind.
With that said, Zhang De walked in the door arrogantly, raised his hand, and took out a new contract.
Ren Cangqiong suddenly stepped forward, slapped Zhang De with his hand, and bang, directly threw Zhang De three or four feet away.
The servants were furious when they saw Manager Zhang being beaten. They shouted and rushed forward. Ren Qiangqiong crossed his arms to his chest and lifted his feet, one at a time, and kept throwing them out.
I heard screams one after another, and servants of the Hou Mansion were already lying outside the courtyard.
Master Hou San obviously did not expect that someone in this small and broken courtyard would dare to swat a fly on his head. His expression suddenly changed, and he glanced at the four personal guards around him.
After Zhang De was beaten, his nose and tears started to flow, and he crawled to Young Master Hou San: "Master, I am a loyal young man, but I got this beating. Master, you make the decision."
Young Master Hou was about to order the four personal guards to take action when suddenly his eyes froze and he caught a glimpse of the person who made the move turning around. When Young Master Hou saw the man's face clearly, he was stunned.
Cold sweat began to break out on his back. He raised his hand and slapped Zhang De away, shouting: "Zhang De, you are so bold."
Zhang De was even more confused by this slap, and his mind was all confused. What kind of song was this? Why did Master Hou San, who always defended his shortcomings, hit one of his own?
However, Young Master Hou San's next actions have already given the answer.
He went up to him with a cheerful face and greeted him enthusiastically: "Second Young Master, it's you. You really are ignorant of the truth. I'm so rude. I'm so rude."
Second Young Master?
Zhang De's mind suddenly twitched. Could it be the second young master of the Ren family?
Ren Cangqiong snorted coldly: "Hou San, you are very courageous. You have even taken your idea to my personal maid."
Young Master Hou's expression changed drastically: "I...I don't know. This is a misunderstanding."
Just kidding, although the Hou family is also a noble, it is simply a second- or third-rate force in Yunluo City. How can it compare with the top ten families like the Ren family?
Even if Ren Cangqiong's lineage is not that good now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. How about fighting with Ren Cangqiong? Unless his head is caught in the door.
Thinking of this, his face darkened, he strode towards Zhang De and kicked him: "Beast, you lied to me that I am the daughter of an ordinary family. But you lied to her identity? You dare to make plans for the maidservant of the second young master of the Ren family?"
Zhang De originally wanted to hide Xiaoqi from the outside world, redeem Xiaoqi in a gentle way, and then sell it to Young Master Hou San, making a large profit difference. At the same time, he wanted to change a maid to be his son Zhang Jiu's wife, and he achieved multiple things with one stone.
Being kicked by this kick, Zhang De threw himself on the ground. Regardless of the blood in his mouth, he crawled over on his knees and said, "Master Ren, I'm wrong. Please spare my life. Master Ren, no."
Look at my miserable life, and look at Xiaoqi’s mother’s face, spare this little man’s life.”
He knew that the second young master of the Ren family had not nodded in this matter, and the third young master Hou could not make the decision, so he could only beat him to death in order to exonerate himself.
Seeing Ren Cangqiong's expression of indifference, Zhang De knew something was wrong, and climbed to Xiao Qi's side with his knees: "Xiao Qi, please intercede. Meeting your uncle is like meeting your mother. Now that your mother is no longer alive, you can stay here."
Uncle, what a shameful life..."
Xiaoqi had seen such a scene before. She was at a loss, but she looked at Ren Cangqiong with a look of help.
Ren Cangqiong knew that Xiao Qi was soft-hearted, and if he killed Zhang De, he was afraid that this girl would be left with a knot in her heart. As long as Xiao Qi did not fall into the tragic fate of her previous life, she did not necessarily have to kill Zhang De.
However, if that were the case, as a descendant of the Ren family, one of the top ten families, it would seem that he was easy to talk to. This Young Master Hou, maybe he would have to improve his memory.
At the moment, he didn't even look at Zhang De, but glanced at Young Master Hou San lightly.
"Young Master Hou, what's the use of beating such a slave? How dare a slave act so recklessly without the master's nod? If I beat you today, it would appear that I am weak-minded. You go back and think about this first.
We’ll see.”
After hearing this, Mr. Hou San, as if he had been granted amnesty, quickly nodded and bowed and left.
Zhang De didn't dare to stay, so he ran away in a mess with the support of a group of servants.
Old Man Du was completely stunned at this time. This young man turned out to be the young master of the Ren family! And he had just spoken rudely and was very rude to the young master of the Ren family.
Xiaoqi came over timidly: "Master, my father was angry just now and said the wrong thing. Please be patient and don't take it seriously."
Ren Cangqiong laughed: "Ignorance is not guilty. Xiaoqi, if you had known why I would bother you so much? Look, your father and brother were not intimidated by me. I am not a man-eating tiger."
How could Ren Cangqiong be serious with Old Man Du? He waved his hand casually and said: "Pay off the things on the books first, don't let the blame fall on you. Don't worry about the rest. Old Man Du, this ingot of gold, just treat it like Xiaoqi."
Years' salary. After you pay off the debt, repair the house, and when Brother Qingniu talks about his wife, we'll come over for a wedding drink."
Old Man Du felt as if a big pie fell from the sky and hit him directly on the head.
This large ingot of gold would cost at least 200 taels of silver, which is still a small amount.
After repaying the debt of five taels of silver, there is so much left. Building three large houses can only cost twenty or thirty taels at most. And when it comes to getting a wife, you can make a decent job with three matchmakers and six hires for twenty taels of silver.
Replace a farm ox and buy some cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. The total cost of these is less than one hundred taels. There is still a hundred taels of money left.
With such a family background, which family within a few dozen miles could not marry a girl?
To put it bluntly, Du Qingniu could not be called a wife in the early days. Now, with a radius of dozens of miles, she has to carefully choose one!
Thinking of this, the wrinkles on Old Man Du's forehead suddenly relaxed. His dark face suddenly looked vibrant and red.
"Qing Niu, why don't you thank Young Master Ren for your compliment?" Old Man Du looked like his son was still stupid.
Du Qingniu walked up to Ren Cangqiong with a huff, and said angrily: "Young Master of the Ren family, Qingniu knows that you cherish Xiaoqi and rewarded us with this money. However, you can't bully her like the third young master Hou.
My girl."
Xiaoqi was anxious: "Brother, what are you talking about? The young master never bullies me."
Old Man Du also slapped him on the back of the head: "You have a stupid head, how can Master Hou San be compared with Young Master Ren?"
Ren Cangqiong liked Du Qingniu's character and nodded with a smile: "Brother Qingniu, if you are afraid that I will bully your sister, you can go to my house to help. My house happens to be short of some manpower. If Mr. Du doesn't mind, we can
The concierge also needs someone."
Another pie fell, and Old Man Du was hit so hard that he was speechless. The words of the second young master of the Ren family meant that their family was about to fly out of Shanwowo!
That Zhang De was arrogant because he was serving as an errand under Third Young Master Hou. But, what does it mean when Third Young Master Hou is compared with Second Young Master Ren?
My entire family ate with Mr. Ren. Isn’t this the legendary rise to fame?
Ren Cangqiong smiled and said: "It's getting late, Xiaoqi, let's go back first. Uncle Du and Brother Qingniu will go directly to my house to find Xiaoqi after their family matters are settled."
At this time, Old Man Du no longer had the ability to formulate words, so he just kept nodding his head and walked all the way out the door.
When he got home, it was already afternoon. Ren Qingshuang was actually at his home. When he saw him coming back, he winked at him and walked towards the martial arts field.
When Ren Cangqiong saw Ren Qingshuang's expression, he knew something important was going on. Could it be that the mole had been found out?
