Chapter 113 Borrowing Money
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was so angry that she almost fainted. She never thought that the son she had high hopes for would go to a gambling house to gamble, and she still owed 20,000 taels of silver. .
Zhao He also knew that he had caused a big trouble, so he lowered his head and did not dare to look at his mother.
"My family really can't afford so much money now. Can you give me a few days to raise funds?" Mrs. Zhao knew that these thugs in the gambling house were unreasonable, but she asked She took out 20,000 taels of silver, but she was a little reluctant to part with it.
The leading gambling thug sneered: "Grace? We don't have the time. If your Zhao family can't come up with the money, don't blame us for being rude."
"Can you give me half first?" Mrs. Zhao really couldn't afford 20,000 taels of silver at once. Who would put 20,000 taels of silver at home?
"Yes, but I have to remind you, after nine days out and thirteen days back, if you can't pay the other 10,000 taels of silver after three days, then the profits will be compounded." said the gambling gangster.
Upon hearing that she would be given an extension of three days, Mrs. Zhao quickly asked the housekeeper to go to the account to get 10,000 taels of silver, and handed it over to the gangsters in the gambling shop.
The gangster from the casino took the money and left.
Mrs. Zhao glared at Zhao He, "This guy who doesn't live up to expectations is really pissing me off. Get out of here."
The people at the door gradually dispersed. Hong Chang also left quickly.
Go back and tell Mrs. Zhao Cui and Zhao Wangshu about this. Mrs. Zhao Cui said calmly: "Isn't making money just for your children? With tens of thousands of taels of silver, the big house can afford it."
Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows. Her grandma understands intersex people.
She never thought that this matter would involve her family. The next day, Mrs. Zhao personally came to the door to borrow money from Mrs. Zhao Cui.
"The evildoer in my family lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in a gambling house, which prompted the gangsters from the gambling house to come to us to demand debts. Our family couldn't afford that much money, so we asked Aunt Seven to help us. Borrow some money to meet emergencies."
Mrs. Zhao Cui didn't believe a word of this and glanced at her lightly, "Brother Kuang and my wife, we can't compare to your family's big business, we are just small I don't have that much money to lend you."
Mrs. Zhao was bluntly rejected by her, her face turned red and white, but she still said unwillingly: "Aunt Qi, this bet If the debt is not repaid for a day, those thugs will come to the house to cause trouble all day long. I really have no place to hide, so I shamelessly come to you to beg you. I know that you are a kind-hearted person and will not leave you alone."
< br /> Mrs. Zhao Cui still said the same thing, "Brother Kuang and my wife, it's not that I don't want to borrow it, but I really don't have the money to borrow it. You'd better borrow it elsewhere."
"Seventh Aunt, I know you are tight on money, but there is nothing you can do now. Otherwise, can I mortgage the land deed to you?" Mrs. Zhao asked deliberately. .
"This is impossible. The land deed is the foundation. Without the land deed, how will you live in the future?" Zhao Cui quickly refused. She did not want to be accused of persecuting her tribe.
"Seventh Aunt, I don't want to mortgage the land deed, but there is really no other way. The people from the gambling house said that if we can't get enough money tomorrow, they will break He'er's legs." Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and said.
"I don't want the land deed, and I won't lend you any money." Mrs. Zhao Cui refused. She knew that Mrs. Zhao just looked pitiful and had better calculations than anyone else.
If you borrow this money, you will be in trouble in the future.
"Seventh Aunt, please do us a favor and lend us some money to meet our emergency needs. When we get through this difficulty, we will thank you very much." Mrs. Zhao looked at her and looked at her. I couldn't stand it anymore, and my tone became bad.
"Brother Kuang and my wife, please don't embarrass me." Mrs. Zhao Cui made up her mind not to borrow money.
"Seventh Aunt, please help us. I know you are well-off, so for the sake of past friendship, just give us a hand." Mrs. Zhao begged.
"The past relationship?" Ms. Zhao Cui couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The past relationship was to let the ruffians block my children and grandchildren and try to destroy them. The past relationship Are you going to let people rob and kill us on our way back to the village?"
"Seventh Aunt, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Mrs. Zhao said with evasive eyes.
Mrs. Zhao Cui sneered, "Then I'll tell you what you understand. I won't lend you the money. Please take it back."
Mrs. Zhao knew this. I couldn't borrow any more money, so I had no choice but to leave in despair.
That afternoon, Mrs. Zhao had someone send the 10,000 taels of silver notes to the gambling house and got back the IOU written by Zhao He.
Zhao He was severely beaten by Zhao Kuang and stayed at home to recuperate temporarily.
On April 16, Zhao Yuzhen got married, which was another farce.
Qian Suan was still hungover, and Mrs. Bo was worried that he would fall off his horse, so she asked him to sit in a sedan chair to welcome the bride.
It is not impossible to take a sedan chair to welcome the bride, but two sedan chairs will cause everyone to misunderstand, "Master Tianhe Prefecture, are you marrying two wives at once?"
This is of course impossible. Even the emperor cannot marry two wives at one time.
When Qian Suan entered the new house to pick up Zhao Yuzhen, he burped and said, "Madam, my husband has come to pick you up."
Zhao Yuzhen was picked up by him.After entering the wedding hall, those sitting in the upright seats were Zhao Kuang and Mrs. Zhao, while those sitting in the side seats were Zhao Yuzhen's biological parents.
Zhao Kuang and Mrs. Zhao robbed other people’s daughters openly and without any guilt.
"Farewell parents." The master of ceremonies said loudly.
Zhao Yuzhen and Qian Sui knelt in front of Zhao Kuang and Mrs. Zhao. Zhao Yuzhen was married as Zhao Kuang’s adopted daughter.
Her mother, Mrs. Ma, was wiping tears at the side.
"Father, mother, when your daughter gets married, you cannot fulfill your filial piety on your knees. Please take care of your health." Zhao Yuzhen seemed to be saying to Zhao Kuang and Mrs. Zhao. In fact, her kneeling It's not straight, it's crooked. She said this to her biological father and mother.
"Good daughter, when you marry into the uncle's house, you must remember your husband's words, be filial to your parents-in-law, and be friendly to your uncles and aunts." Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Yuzhen's hand and made a loving gesture.
"My daughter has remembered it." Zhao Yuzhen replied.
Zhao Yuzhen was supported by Xiniang and her maid, followed Qian Suan, left the mansion, got on the sedan chair, and went to Tianhe Bofu.
The marriage process was smooth, and after Qian Suan had finished entertaining the guests, he got drunk and walked into the new house.
Looking at Zhao Yuzhen sitting on the wedding bed, he actually said: "Who is this ugly guy? Why is he here?"
These words aroused the attention of those beautiful people. The young woman snickered, and an enchanting young woman leaned on Qian Suan, "My lord, this is the wife you married."
Zhao Yuzhen smiled faintly, "Mr., you are drunk." He stepped forward. Supporting Qian Sui, "You guys go out."
"Hey, the young lady has just entered the door and she is showing off her power." The enchanting young woman mocked.
"I am the wife of the Crown Prince, who is married to a matchmaker. I want to sell a girl who is a married woman. I think it is okay." Zhao Yuzhen said with a sneer.
Qian Suan has not yet married a wife. For the sake of reputation, the women around him are all girls from the same house and have no concubines.
The young women turned pale and said, "We won't disturb the prince entering the bridal chamber." They left one after another.
Zhao Yuzhen helped Qian Suan to the wedding bed, called the maid to bring water, and helped Qian Suan wash up.
