Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 450 Old Dog Xiao Will Never Marry a Wife

Bai Lu picked up the receipts and wooden boxes scattered on the ground, equally terrified, "This... the Duke of the country holds military power, high position and authority, what do you want, how can you owe so much money? Could it be that the old lady did something good? "

Su Jiu sat down again and covered his eyes with one hand, "I used to think that it was best for a family to be reunited, but some people, you treat her like a family member, but she does things that are worse than animals. 50 taels of silver, Ah……"

Even if the 20 taels of silver bill Xiao Yu gave her was used to fill the hole, it was far from enough!
Su Jiu closed his eyes.

She was suddenly glad that she had returned to Chang'an.

Because simple people like father and brother can't beat the old lady at all!
The mother is still asleep, this family needs her Su Jiu to support it!
A solitary lamp is like a bean.

Tonight, the girl is destined to have trouble sleeping.

Also sleepless was Xiao Tingchen.

He is different from those who need to stay in the inn, he has a lot of money on hand, so he bought a small courtyard house on Yanxing Street.

The moon was in the sky, and he was standing under the eaves, wearing a platycodon blue cloak lazily, smoking leisurely.

For him, being admitted to the No. [-] Scholar is just the first step to enter the officialdom, and it cannot satisfy his ambition, so there is really nothing to be happy about.

While he was thinking about life, Jimo Lian came uninvited.

A well-known big businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, with dewy shoulders and dusty shoulders, started to curse when he stepped in: "Xiao Tingchen, you did a good job!"

Xiao Tingchen smiled, "Hey, what a rare visitor! Old chicken, if you don't stay in Jiangnan, what are you doing in Chang'an?"

"What did you go to Chang'an for?! Of course it was to settle accounts with you!" Jimo Lian was furious, "Back then you asked for a pill to treat Su Jiu's cold poison, what did you say?"

"forget."

"You said, you want to exchange Fenghuatai with me for pills! Now? Now that Fenghuatai was blown up by Mrs. Zhao, it was blown up by her! It's fine if it's blown up. The jewels can be taken out, but there is not even half a gold ingot in the water! Let me ask you, where did you get the treasure of Yan Laofu, which is incomparable to the enemy?!"

Originally, the top floor of Fenghua Terrace was used to store Yan Lao's treasure.

After Fenghua Terrace exploded and collapsed, the treasures should have fallen into the water, but Jimo Lian couldn't catch anything!
Xiao Tingchen leisurely exhaled a puff of smoke ring.

Where did the treasure go?

Of course it was already spent by him.

In the three years since he gave up the scientific examination, he has not been idle for a single day. He opened a bank and a restaurant. He used the gold and silver left by Yan Qiansui to establish his Xiao Tingchen's business empire in Daqi.

Who would have thought that the young concubine who lived in this small courtyard was the boss of the largest bank in Qi?
He said slowly, "Old chicken, you can't beat me in a fight, and you can't beat me in a fight. Since you've come to the capital, why don't you stay and take care of my business. I'm going to be an official soon, and I don't have time to take care of business. thing."

Jimo Lian almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Cooperating with him, he came all the way here, but he didn't get any benefits, so he wanted to help him with his business? !
Xiao Tingchen turned around and walked into the house, "The treasurer of Lufeng Bank sent a batch of ledgers today, saying that there is a huge amount of money owed by a big family. You can see for me if you want to come to collect debts. I'll go to bed first."

Jimo Lian watched him close the door.

Two accountants came from the study and said respectfully: "Mr. Jimo, please, we will tell you about the family in detail."

Jimo Lian sat down in the study with a bitter face, facing the mountain of ledgers, he really wanted to burn them with a torch.

A cashier helped him open the account book with a smile, "Mr. Jimo, this family has borrowed 40 taels of snow-patterned silver from our bank in the past three years, plus interest, a total of 50 taels, and has not returned a penny so far."

Jimo Lian said that he was reluctant, but his fingers still turned over the pages of accounts very honestly.

He knew that there were many famous restaurants in Chang'an City. In order to maintain the extravagance and wealth on the surface, they often secretly used valuables as collateral to exchange for cash from banks and pawnshops.

For example, in this family, the shop, the fields, and even the mansion where they live are mortgaged...

He sneered, for a little vanity, even the real estate left by the ancestors was mortgaged, it is no wonder that this kind of family is not defeated.

He said indifferently: "Which family is it? Who are the officials in the family?"

"It's Duke Lu's mansion."

Jimo Lian's hands trembled as he flipped through the ledger.

……

Su Jiu stayed up all night.

Sitting in front of the dressing table early in the morning, I saw two black marks under my eyes, and I looked very haggard.

She carefully covered it with pearl ointment, "Bai Lu, take my money, let's go to Lufeng Bank."

"To Lufeng Bank?" Bai Lu was slightly surprised, "Miss, you don't mean to..."

"We have to pay it back. I've seen the bills, and the interest rate is doubled. The longer we delay, the more money we have to pay back. First pay off 20 taels, and take the rest from the old lady. She doesn't Here, let father send soldiers to search!"

The girl narrowed her eyes, determined to kill.

Bai Lu couldn't persuade her anymore, so she had no choice but to say yes.

Su Jiu came to Lufeng Bank by carriage.

The Daqianzhuang, located in the most prosperous area of ​​Dongshi, has towering tall buildings and is majestic and majestic.

Su Jiu got off the carriage, looked up at the resplendent plaque, and stepped in silently.

Little did they know that her actions were caught by the young man behind the railing of the tall building.

Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows, "Is this the surprise you mentioned?"

Jimo Lian was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, eating tea slowly, "A certain person loves to coerce and lure, and 50 taels of snow-patterned silver is not a small sum. I used this to go to the gate of the Duke's Mansion and ask my father-in-law for a favor." Why not a daughter as a daughter-in-law?"

"Tsk, according to what you want, if I marry Su Jiu, wouldn't Duke Lu's mansion have to pay back the 50 taels of silver? That's impossible!"

Jimo Lian choked on a sip of tea, and gave him a complicated look.

Does this man not want to marry a wife?

Absolutely do not want to marry a wife!

Xiao Tingchen rolled up his sleeves and poured a glass of wine.

He took a sip of wine in a good mood.

The best daughter red in Chang'an Distillery is worth thousands of gold and has a very mellow taste.

"Old chicken, the money from Lu Guogong's mansion must be paid back, and I will marry Su Jiu. This is called gaining both money and wealth!"

He patted Jimo Lian on the shoulder and went downstairs with a smile.

Jimo Lian was speechless.

If a man like Old Dog Xiao can marry a wife, he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life!

no sooner said than done!

Xiao Tingchen came slowly to the lobby of Lufeng Bank.

A slender girl, wearing a gauze skirt, is sitting on a big chair and waiting.

The veil hanging down by Mi Li covered her face, Old Dog Xiao—oh no, Xiao Tingchen couldn't appreciate her flowery beauty, so he was suddenly in a bad mood.

He walked over and sat across from her, chatted lazily, "Hey, who's girl is this, she has a thin waist and long legs, she looks very familiar."
