Chapter 291

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!

In this way, although the queen didn't say that she wanted to check Duanjin's industry, she couldn't let his family eat well and wear well. Maybe her family could not live well We can imagine how miserable the next days will be for the family members who have been enjoying themselves for a long time!

When Duan Jincai came to realize that he had been cheated: "when Vernon Jiang asked for a receipt, I thought I would promise it. Even if the queen would send the palace people to follow my young man for surveillance, the Empress Dowager would also point out the young man and send a letter to Gu Zonghao on behalf of her - so that she could easily explain the amount of her niece's accompanying marriage! Now it seems that Jiang's family have colluded with me to do so! "

He should have known that empress Jiang was going to stare at him personally to "repay the debt". He didn't admit the receipt, said that he couldn't refuse to repay his family's kindness, and then took the money to marry his niece?

Now, Sheng Sheng is caught by the queen!

"Now..." Duan Jin glances at Tang Zimo from the corner of his eyes with bitter mouth. He can only rely on this assistant to help him.

And Tang Zimo also lived up to his dark prayer, and really stood out: "this is not right for the empress! The reason why the Gu family is willing to accept the IOU is that they are afraid that the Duan family will not accept their thank you! Otherwise, why did Duan's servant take two palace people to the palace, and he could get a receipt, even Gu Zonghao didn't wait at the palace gate?! It shows that he would like to have this receipt taken away by the Duan family! "

Jiang Tianao sneers: "don't forget to ask for the receipt, waiter Tang, but the meaning of the two maids is that the palace people took the oral order!"

"Zhongshuling said so!" Tang Zimo smiled and said, "it's just Then Gu Zonghao is just a district merchant. How could he know the palace people in front of the two maids?! There is no actual evidence for oral instruction! Even if it was Duan Shilang's young man who took the palace people to the palace, the receipt was 500000 Liang! How many lifetimes must a waiter save! Dare to ask zhongshuling, if Gu Zonghao cares a little about this IOU, it will be so easy to give it to a servant?! He is not afraid that in case that little fellow hides from the master and casually finds two palace people to deceive him! "

Seeing Jiang Tian Ao frowning tightly and having no words for a while, Tang Zimo turned to Dan Cong and said in a long voice, "it's because of this receipt that empress Niang forces Duan Shilang's family to cut back on their clothes and pay off their debts, but it's because they are trapped in the family's injustice! This also has the reputation of hurting the empress's purity -- "

" don't the courtiers hurt the court's decency by borrowing a huge amount of money that will be hard to repay for generations to come? " With a sneer, empress Jiang said, "what's more, Duan Jin himself said that he was not forced to make a statement by this palace! I just hope he doesn't cheat me! How can we force it? "

Duan Jin smiled bitterly: "minister How dare you deceive the empress? "

"What's the trouble with the waiter?" Empress Jiang naturally said, "as long as Duan Jin does what he says, does our palace still bother him?"

Tang Zimu said quietly, "don't you think that the reason why Duan Shilang borrowed such a large sum of money was that the dowry of Princess Qi was too rich in those years, for fear of neglecting his Highness Prince Cai?"

"That's the rich Jiang family. Since the Duan family has no foundation, what should they learn from the Jiang family?" Empress Jiang sneered. "Does Princess Qi have a rich dowry? All the women in the world want to see her when they leave the pavilion? Duan Jin is clearly confused! Why do you want to blame Princess Qi? "

Jiang Tianao immediately went out: "the empress's mother knows that Princess Qi is the youngest daughter of the minister and his wife. She can't avoid being spoiled. She often entertains with his second uncle and second aunt at the knee. When he goes out of the cabinet, his second uncle and second aunt all accompany the dowry, so it's very rich!"

Jiang Tianqi immediately explained on behalf of the Duke of Qin: "Chen's daughter-in-law, he Shi, was born smart and good at making a living. Before she passed the door, Jiang's industry was already managed by her. In recent years, I have made a lot of profits. My father, my ministers and my brothers and nephews seldom ask about the accounts because they want to be busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty. If Tang Xiang or anyone has any questions about the alignment of the princess's dowry, my daughter-in-law can go to the Palace to check at any time! "

The Empress Dowager's party didn't want to reconcile with Shuijin. When this master came out to make a public appearance and earn money, how much did she see that she was a delicate big lady's accounting room and made a famous stepping stone for her? It is said that in the industry managed by Shuijin, the managers dare not even make a penny of money - without it, they can't hide it at all!

What's more, today's business is the Jiang family's work. I'm afraid that he Shuijin has already packed up the account books and prepared to give the Empress Dowager party and the neutral party a good lesson on how the Jiang family can make great progress in wealth!

Tang Zimo only didn't hear the words of the Jiang family: "empress's mother said this, but I thought it was not! The so-called marriage by the husband, his royal highness CAI and his royal highness Qi are all his Majesty's flesh and blood, Princess Qi dowry rich in front, Duan family dare not let Princess Cai out of the cabinet, this is not human common sense? In the early years, the Taoists heard that the family plan was difficult, but not long ago, Princess Lu's dowry was no less than Princess Cai's! What do you think? "

"Taojia is an outsider of our palace. His ancestors, Tao taboo, sang song, deeply appreciated the kindness of the Mongol emperor. They have been rewarded continuously over the years. Even if there was a temporary turnover difficulty, that is, cash, as for treasures, good wood, there are many in the warehouse! " Empress Jiang said coldly, "this time, when Princess Lu comes out of the pavilion, her mother also has rich makeup. What's so strange about Princess Lu's rich dowry? Moreover, you say that both King CAI and king Qi are His Majesty's flesh and blood, so Princess Qi has a rich dowry, and Princess CAI should not be too humble. I would like to know why Princess Cai's dowry overtook Princess Lu's? In general, your Majesty's flesh and bones are not fake. But can't the waiter remember the principle of order and growth? "Tang Zimu sneered: "how can you persuade the people? It has been more than 30 years since the death of the first emperor, and Tao Gong died before the first emperor! After Tao Gong went, the decline of the Taoists was obvious to all, and there was no revival of the family business for decades. In recent years, there are no rare treasures of the Taoists' pawn in the city! How could a potter only have trouble with cash! Even though Princess Lu's dowry was decorated by the Duke and wife of the state of Qin, Weichen remembers that when the eight young ladies of the Jiang family came out of the cabinet, it didn't seem that there were as many dowries as today's Princess Lu? The eight young ladies of the Jiang family are also the niece and granddaughter of the Duke and wife of the state of Qin and the eldest niece! According to the long and young, the Duke and wife of Qin added makeup to their sisters. The eight young ladies of Jiang family should also get more than the princess of Lu! But I don't know why Princess Lu's dowry went beyond her elder sister! "

Tang Zimo is worthy of being the Vice Minister of the dynasty. The queen just pointed out that Princess Cai's dowry crossed Princess Lu's and was suspected of disrespect to his sister-in-law. He immediately remembered the cousin of Princess Lu, little Dow, and also seized the handle of the empress's disorganization!

Empress Jiang's face changed, but she couldn't reply for a while. After a short silence, dou Jijiu suddenly stood up: "it's better to check Tao and Duan, and see what's right or wrong!"

In a word, the neutral party followed Xue Chang to fight soy sauce. The people's Congress of the second generation was surprised and surprised, but the Duke of Qin and other people were calm. This calm fell into the eyes of empress Gu and Tang Zimo. After a while, their faces changed!
