But it was said that Xue Pan was making a big fuss in the Rongguo Mansion, and Wang Xifeng was hiding on the kang and pretending to be sick. Yuanyang had no choice but to rush back to Mrs. Wang's yard. Before he could enter the house while reading at zero o'clock, he suddenly heard a "crash" noise inside and hurried in. He saw a scene in the house.
It was a mess. Xue Pan held up a big broom that he had picked up from nowhere. The broom was swung open and fell. Broken pieces of lacquerware and porcelain were scattered on the ground. Mrs. Wang fell down on the pair of plum blossoms.
He was pressing the head of a broom on his neck while sitting on a small Western-style lacquered table.
Xue Pan's eyes were blood red, staring like bells, and he shouted in a low voice: "If you don't pay back the money today, I will kill you here. At worst, I will pay for your life!"
Mother Jia stood up from the chair beside her with a cane, stretched out her hand tremblingly and shouted: "Brother Pan, please don't mess around! We can discuss anything we have to say."
Xue Pan said harshly: "There is nothing to discuss. I will pay for her life, but I still have to pay back the money! Not even a cent is missing!"
Jia Mu used her cane to lean on the ground twice: "Our house is not short of money, why didn't we tell it earlier? Why would it be like this if we told it earlier!"
Xue Pan sneered and said: "Old lady, do you really don't know what year she lent my money? Why don't we go and file a lawsuit here?" Then he swung the broom and swept down a picture hanging on the wall.
Hua'er stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Wang's lapel: "Let's go! Go to the lawsuit!"
Mrs. Wang was so frightened that her eyes froze and she shouted: "Don't mess around, don't mess around!"
Jia Mu shouted: "Where are the people! Where are they all?"
Finally I heard someone shouting: "The second master is here!"
Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up and she cried: "Master, save me!"
I saw Jia Zheng striding in. When he saw Xue Pan, he shouted: "Pan'er, what are you doing! How can you not let go of your aunt?"
Xue Pan said solemnly: "My uncle came just in time. My aunt owed my family 670,000 taels of silver three years ago. She has been delaying it year by year. Now that the New Year is coming again, are you not ready to pay it back?"
Mrs. Wang shouted: "How can it be enough for three years? It's not as much as 670,000!"
Xue Pan sneered and said: "It's not just three years since the first one? Don't you think the debt is not counted as interest? See, you are a relative and elder, and I haven't calculated more interest with you."
Jia Zheng said angrily: "It's just some gold and silver common things, why do you need to use sticks and sticks to sweep the floor politely! Please put down your aunt quickly!"
Xue Pan said: "I'm afraid I will be sorry for my uncle. You are like a scholar meeting a soldier today. I only recognize money and not people. If you pay back the money, everything will be fine. If you don't pay back, a life is worth a life."
Not to mention, I am the only male in my family, and my mother and sister are not easy to bully if we cause trouble in the Jinluan Palace. Do you, the Rongguo Mansion, still have any dignity?"
Jia Zheng stamped his feet anxiously: "It's just money, I'll give it back to you!"
Xue Pan threw away Mrs. Wang, then swung the broom head back and pressed it on her chest. He reached out to Jia Zheng with one hand and said, "Bring it here! Pay the money with one hand and hand over the person with the other!"
Jia Zheng was stunned.
Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Quick! Send someone to the accounting room to get the money!" She also cursed, "The boss is away from home every day. When he should be there, he is nowhere to be seen." Immediately someone ran out.
Xue Pan held the broom in both hands and stood motionless against Mrs. Wang.
Jia Zhengdao: "Let your aunt go quickly!"
Xue Pan said: "Let's talk about it after we see the money."
Only then did Jia Mu see Yuanyang coming back, and asked hurriedly: "Where is Lian's wife?"
Yuanyang lowered his head and returned: "Second Grandma Lian was not feeling well this morning, and her face was not very good. She hasn't gotten up yet."
Jia Mu was stunned and asked again: "Where is Lian'er?"
Yuanyang said: "Second Master Lian went out to visit his colleagues."
Jia Mu said: "Where is the boss? Where is Cong'er?"
Yuanyang returned: "I heard from the people in the old man's yard that he went to the escort agency with Third Master Cong."
Jia Mu hurriedly shouted: "His escort agency seems to be not far away. Send someone to call him back quickly."
Someone down below answered.
Xue Pan almost broke his smile. Originally, it was Jia Cong's idea that he came to collect the debt in person. It would be strange if Jia Cong heard about it and would come back! Since Jia She is with him, he must not be able to come.
Except for Jia She and his surname Xue, there was no one in this big family to be afraid of, so they became more and more bold.
The room suddenly fell silent. After a long time, someone outside came in angrily and returned: "No money is allowed in the counting house!"
Jia's mother scolded: "It's the other way around! Who dares to refuse what I want? Where is the pair of cards? Go find the second girl to get the pair of cards!"
The daughter-in-law replied: "Ever since the second grandma gave birth last year, the outside accounting office has changed the rules for receiving money according to the method of a young Mr. Gong. They have made some signatures for receiving money, and the cards have been eliminated for a long time.
Nowadays, any expenditure of more than five hundred taels of silver must be signed by the eldest master before he can receive it. Even if the eldest master is not here to find the second master Lian, it will not be collected. If the second master Lian is not around, he will not be allowed to collect it. If there is no autograph of the first master or the second master Lian, then
If someone takes away the money, all the people in the counting house will be kicked out from top to bottom and will never be used again." This daughter-in-law was originally Jia She's confidant, and she just went to the counting house before others. She knew it.
Jia She and Jia Lian had already signed many blank signatures and put them in the accounting room for later use. If there was an emergency, Mr. Cong and Mr. Lin could bring them to him, but who would tell the old lady?
Jia Mu's body went limp and she couldn't stand upright. Amber Glass and the two men hurriedly held her up. For a long time, her hands and feet were trembling and she said, "I don't even know about this!"
The daughter-in-law bowed her head and said nothing.
Jia Zheng said anxiously: "What time has this happened? We don't care about the rules or not. It's more important to save people!"
Jia Mu waved her hand, closed her eyes for a long time, and said sadly: "No one will give it to me outside."
Jia Zheng said loudly: "Don't they even listen to the old lady?"
The wife who reported the news just now lowered her head even more.
Jia Mu smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know half of it..." Yin turned to look at Xue Pan and said, "Brother Pan, as the saying goes, when you are a person, leave a thin line so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Otherwise, more than 600,000 yuan is not a small sum."
What do you think about the amount, please give us some time to raise the money? My old lady promises you that I will pay you back."
Xue Pan sneered: "It's been three years, and I haven't given you enough time? Since we can't get the money, let's go to court!" Then he turned the broom over and picked up Mrs. Wang again.
Go outside.
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Stop him quickly!"
Several brave wives and boys came up to surround him. Xue Pan simply put the broom in his arms and pinched Mrs. Wang's throat with one hand: "Who will stop me again?!"
In fact, he did not dare to use any strength, but Mrs. Wang screamed like a killing pig. Jia Zheng was so frightened that he shouted again: "Don't stop him! Don't stop him!"
Xue Pan smiled and said: "None of them work." Yin dragged Mrs. Wang and strode outside.
Mrs. Wang was really scared now, and finally shouted: "I made an agreement with your mother that day, your sister and Baoyu are going to get married in the future, why bother doing this nonsense just for a little money!"
Xue Pan's steps faltered, and murderous intent suddenly filled his body, scaring Mrs. Wang and others to the point where they did not dare to say a word. After a while, Xue Pan said solemnly: "My good aunt! It's only now that you have come to this point.
It shows that you have no such plan in your mind, and you are only using marriage as a cover to coax my cotton-eared mother. What kind of person and character my sister is, your son is not worthy of her at all!"
Mrs. Wang argued: "Your sister is just a merchant girl, but my Baoyu is a prince and young master, and he is good at studying! She is worthy of your sister..." She suddenly saw Xue Pan's eyes were about to bleed, and she was so frightened that she did not dare to say anything.
Go down.
Xue Panpi smiled and said: "Okay, since my aunt also thinks that my sister is out of reach, we naturally won't reach out to her. Besides, this is just a small talk between you and my mother. I guess the old lady won't agree?"
He turned around to see Jia Mu, and Mrs. Wang also hurriedly went to see Jia Mu. However, she saw that Jia Mu was silent, leaning on a cane and thinking a little.
Xue Pan laughed again: "How? I knew the old lady would not agree."
Mrs. Wang pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Old ancestor!"
Jia's mother still said nothing. She went to see Jia Zheng again, but Jia Zheng didn't say anything. Originally, neither of them had ever thought of Xue Baochai as Baoyu's match. Moreover, with Xue Pan's appearance, if he became Baoyu's brother-in-law, he would be very happy in the future.
How can we not bring trouble to him? Even though Mrs. Wang is embarrassed and dangerous at the moment, nothing can be compared with a single hair of Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang shouted: "Your mother and I wrote the document! Both of us stamped our fingerprints!"
Jia's mother couldn't help but shouted: "How dare you! It's not your turn to make the decision on Baoyu's important matters privately!"
Jia Zheng also frowned: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned.
Xue Pan looked at Jia's mother Jia Zheng, then looked down at Mrs. Wang, and laughed loudly: "It's not impossible for Jia Baoyu to come and be my son-in-law, but if he has a child in the future, he must have a surname of Xue!"
Jia Mu and Jia Zheng shouted at the same time: "Nonsense!"
Xue Pan said proudly: "My mother has Jia Baoyu's deed of sale! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Wouldn't it be cheaper if you told me earlier?"
Jia's mother hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, women have not made the decision in marriage. His father did not agree to the marriage. There are countless things that can be done about it!"
Xue Pan smiled and said: "Why don't you ask the ancestors to use the money to redeem your grandson's deed of betrayal?"
Jia Mu was speechless again.
Xue Pan glanced around and saw that the whole room was as quiet as cicadas. Everyone looked at him and lowered their heads in silence. Suddenly, he felt extremely happy from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and burst out laughing.
But at this moment, someone stumbled in and shouted, "Brother Xue, what are you doing?"
When everyone took a look, they saw that it was Baoyu. Jia's mother hurriedly scolded: "Who told him? Drag him out and beat him to death!"
Baoyu was running anxiously, but when he heard this, he stopped immediately, was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I thought I had understood some things now, and my ancestors could look up to me. It turns out..."
Jia's mother hurriedly said: "Good boy, you don't know about this messy matter. If you don't give birth to Wen Shu, why are you here again?"
Baoyu shook her head and turned to look at Mrs. Wang. Xue Pan's hands were a little tired, so he put her on the ground and held her down with a broom head. Her hair was disheveled and her face was covered with makeup marks. She was so pitiful that she couldn't help but shed tears. He stepped forward to face Xue Pan.
Pan Shen bowed: "I don't know where my mother offended Brother Xue. I will apologize to you on her behalf. We are relatives after all. Broken bones are still connected, so why be aggressive."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room stared at him, unable to believe that it was him who spoke just now.
Xue Pan glanced at him and said: "It's not important to apologize, but to pay back the money. Your mother owes me 670,000 taels of silver, and she has been refusing to pay it back for three years. Seeing that the new year is approaching, it will be difficult to delay it any longer. One year. My family's business is not very good now, and life is extremely difficult. I am just waiting for these few small coins to celebrate the New Year. It is not as big as your Rongguo Mansion, and your family has a big business. Six or seven hundred thousand silver is nothing? Why not just pay it back now? I and everyone are still good relatives, do you think so?"
Baoyu was startled: "So much money?!"
Xue Pan snorted: "Your mother still thinks that my family's money fell from the sky, or that my family owed her money in a previous life. From the day she borrowed the money, she was never prepared to pay it back to me."
Baoyu hurriedly asked: "Madam, is it true?"
Mrs. Wang had long since lost her strength and was speechless as she watched him burst into tears.
Baoyu couldn't help but closed his eyes, and after a long while he said: "Mother's debt must be paid by her son. I will pay you back the money my mother owes you one day."
Xue Pan sneered and said: "When is the next day? I can't wait any longer. It has been delayed for three years now. Now I have to either pay back the money or go to court. Anyway, I am shameless, but I don't know if Rongguo Mansion is still shameless. .”
Baoyu choked. How could he have so much money? He could only say, "Brother Xue and I will just write down the IOU."
Xue Pan waved his hand and said: "It's not like your mother didn't write an IOU, she even wrote your deed of sale. Just writing an IOU without paying back the money is useless! Besides, how old are you now? When you grow up, you can make money slowly. How many years to wait? Also, do you have the ability to make money? I'm afraid it won't be a problem even if I sell you. My family is in a hurry right now and is waiting for money, so we don't have time to discuss it."
Baoyu was anxious: "Money is nothing more than external possessions, so why push people so hard for it?"
Xue Pan snorted: "Since it's an external thing, come back as soon as possible!"
Baoyu was speechless again.
Xue Panyin looked him up and down and sneered: "It turns out it's still just an embroidered pillow. Unfortunately, others say you've become enlightened. Even you refuse to pay back the money." He bent down and grabbed Mrs. Wang again. , "Go to court!"
Baoyu shouted: "Put down my mother!"
Did Xue Pan pay attention to him? He grabbed the person and left. Mrs. Wang cried, "Baoyu, help me -" Baoyu went up to catch his mother and asked Xue Pan to swing it with a broom. "If someone comes up again, believe it or not, I will crush her to death!" "
Baoyu was afraid of throwing a rat into a trap, so he quickly withdrew his hand.
After a moment of stalemate, seeing Xue Pan trying to drag Mrs. Wang out again, Jia Mu finally sighed: "That's it! Brother Xue, we'll just pay you back."
Xue Pan immediately turned around and said with a cheerful smile: "It's still refreshing, old lady! Get it quickly."
Jia Mu said, "It's just that brother has to give us some time to collect money, right?"
Xue Pan turned around again: "Then go to court."
Jia's mother said: "I have already agreed to your request, can't you trust me?"
Xue Pan said: "Now I can't trust anything except money. You rely on your swearing and sweet words."
Jia Mu said, "I'll give you some back first, and I'll wait for the rest as time goes by."
Xue Pan shook his head: "I can't trust you, so I'll go to court."
Baoyu suddenly said: "I will go back with you to make a mortgage."
Jia Mu and Jia Zheng shouted at the same time: "Nonsense!"
Xue Pan sneered: "How much are you worth? Can you mortgage hundreds of thousands of silver? Even if you give me the letter and seal of Rongguo Mansion as collateral, I won't take it."
When Baoyu heard this, he immediately thought of something. He quickly lowered his head and took out a purse hanging on his neck, and took out his psychic gem from it: "This thing is temporarily given to you!"
I heard exclamations from all around, and Mrs. Jia's mother and Mrs. Jia Zhengwang shouted at the same time: "No!" Jia's mother stamped her feet and said, "That's your lifeblood!"
Baoyu said with tears: "I was born to my mother after ten months of hard work. If I can save my mother, what is a broken stone?"
Jia Mu hurriedly said: "I will pay off the money owed to your mother, and quickly put away the lifeblood."
Xue Pan laughed: "Old ancestors are still happy! I don't want those broken stones, I only want silver."
Jia Mu said, "It's just that I don't have such a large amount of cash at the moment."
Xue Pan's face suddenly changed: "Are you kidding me, old lady? What can you say if you don't have any cash?"
Jia Mu sighed: "Why bother, being so merciless? Our two families are still very close relatives."
Xue Pan hummed: "If the second wife is willing to pay back the money early, why should I be so ruthless? The old lady thinks to herself, is three years a short time?"
Jia Mu had no choice but to ask Yuanyang to come over and help her. Seeing this, Xue Pan hurriedly threw Mrs. Wang back to the ground. He smiled and watched Jia Mu slowly walk past him and left. Baoyu watched his mother weeping uncontrollably.
Jia Zheng frowned and was helpless.
Half a day later, Yuanyang got back the 400,000 yuan in silver notes and said with tears: "The remaining ancestors will definitely return it. I hope Uncle Xue will temporarily let our second wife go."
Xue Pan took the bank note with a smile, counted it, and then extended his hand to Jia Baoyu.
Baoyu immediately took the purse from his neck and gave it to him.
Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang exclaimed, "No!"
Xue Pan glanced at the two of them and said, "As I said before, I don't want him as a piece of shit, but I still have 270,000 taels of silver left, and your family has nothing else of value to pledge."
He picked up the broom and put it on his shoulder. With the psychic gem in his sleeve, he swaggered out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion. He laughed several times, mounted his horse and walked away.
Because he felt so happy, he held his head high on the horse. When he walked to the intersection of Ningrong Street, he saw someone waving to him from the teahouse opposite. When he took a closer look, wasn't it Mr. Lian? He thought about it for a moment and suddenly
When I understood, I looked up to the sky and laughed again.
