Chapter 291 (1/2)
However, empress Jiang's heart sank. She quickly looked at the final signing and fingerprint of the receipt, and her face suddenly changed: ”Duan Xicheng? Do you remember this is your eldest son? Isn't it because he's bad at words or even doesn't get into office? Can I borrow 500000 liang of silver?! It's ridiculous! ”
”Since Duan has sent someone to take this IOU, it's said. What are you flustered about?” Empress Dowager Gu said at leisure, ”don't you just listen?”
Duan Jin sneered at the corner of his mouth, but said respectfully: ”back to the two niangs, there is a reason why my eldest son can borrow this huge amount of money. Speaking of it, this is the thank-you that qingfengji insisted on to my eldest son! However, the eldest son of the minister did not plan to repay his kindness. On the one hand, he was just looking after his family and pleading for help. On the other hand, he was also in front of the dowry of Princess Qi. If Princess CAI was too poor to respect the Tianjia family, she wrote an IOU. ”
The Queen's party frowned, but the Empress Dowager party had already understood. At present, someone purposely said, ”but I don't know what kind of kindness Duan Da childe has for qingfengji?”
”You don't know that not long ago, Zong Hao, the current East customer of qingfengji, accidentally fell off his horse outside the city. People were entangled by reins and dragged out for several miles on the official road. It was the children who happened to meet him. Only after catching up and cutting the ropes could he save his life.” Duan Jin calmed down and said, ”everyone knows that Gu Zonghao is a young man. So far, he has not been married, and there is nothing left under his knees. He is the only heir of Gu's long house. If there is a long house and short house, how can a group of women in Gu's long house deal with it? His grandmother even forced the children to accept the thank-you by kneeling Although the child can't beat her, he doesn't want to take advantage of his family, so he insists on making a receipt! ”
One of the Palace officials who was in charge of accompanying his young man to get the IOU bowed to testify: ”this IOU was indeed obtained from Zong Hao, a customer of Qingfeng Ji East.” Of course, the palace people were sent by the Empress Dowager Gu.
”I see!” The Empress Dowager's party immediately expressed solidarity with its allies. ”It's well known to all that the rich and the rich are in the family. It's not surprising that the benefactor of its eastern Lord is 500000 liang of silver.”
”I'm ashamed to say that the children are just raising their hands. If it's not for the rich dowry of Princess Qi, it's true that Princess Cai dare not surpass her elder sister-in-law. However, since both King CAI and king Qi are the blood of the heaven family, they dare not let their nieces go out of the cabinet with only tens of thousands of liang of silver. How can our family not accept this kind of gift!” Duan Jinchao arched his hands around him, but he had no choice but to look at him. ”My family started from a cold place, with a shallow foundation. The Chengtian family has long been gracious, and they are trembling.”
”This old man has the face to say!” All the Queens party members scolded in their hearts, ”when we don't know why qingfengji is able to make a good business, it's all over our Darui, because it's on your line?! That's Tang Zimo, the old thief. I'm afraid the annual dividend from his family is more than 500000 Liang silver. This family is the money bag of the Empress Dowager
It's just that the reason for saving lives is there. How can people reward them is not too much!
Duan Jin saw that the Queen's party was very blue and proud, and said: ”if you don't believe it, you can pass on the story of Qingfeng to the East Main Hall for confrontation!” ”If I have a half empty word, I will let the two women deal with it. There is no two words!”
Before, Empress Dowager Gu didn't promise to pass on Shuijin. Now, of course, the Queen's party doesn't want to pass on Gu Zonghao.
Moreover, the Queen's party aims at the Empress Dowager party in the final analysis, rather than a mere merchant. So empress Jiang ignored him, but said slowly, ”if you had not been greedy and dirty, you would never have more than 70000 liang of silver in your family property, you can admit it?”
Duan Jin simply admitted: ”I'm really only a little more than 60000 liang of silver.”
He doesn't worry about empress Jiang's request to check his family. It's not that Duan Jin is honest, or he has already hidden the property accounts, but that he knows that if empress Jiang wants to check him thoroughly, then empress Gu will also ask to check all the ministers of the same rank as him!
Jiang's family and Shuijin are in charge. It's reasonable how much money this master makes. But what about the others? The empress party is not just Jiang's family. No other family has such a capable daughter-in-law! How to explain these people's huge wealth?
Really pinching that step, the Empress Dowager party and the empress party must be both defeated! Only the neutral party will benefit!
Duan Jin believes that empress Jiang will never do this.
The queen did not check his words, but asked: ”then how do you plan to return the 500000 Liang silver to Qingfeng? Or is Duan Xicheng's note just a pretence? ”
”If you go back to the empress, this receipt is true.” Duan Jin's face changed a little when he heard this. He thought of something. But for the sake of his son's reputation and the reputation of Duan's family, he could only insist on saying, ”my family has long planned to save money and repay this money!”
”Oh?” Empress Jiang looked at him thoughtfully, ”but after so many years in office, with the accumulation of generations of your ancestors and grandchildren, you have also saved less than 70000 liang of silver and 500000 liang of debt. Even if your grandchildren are acting as waiters, it seems that there are not many generations of people who are still unclear! It's still not a profit! Why do you plan to go on like this for generations? ”
Duan Jin's forehead exudes cold sweat. He has guessed what the queen will say and do next. But now, can he deny it?
As expected, empress Jiang continued, ”I'll see what you can do about this palace!”The implication is that you and your family will wear silk and gold in the future. Don't let this palace catch you!
