Chapter 206 IOU
When Chu Yu's mother, Chu Jiahui, got married, her dowry was even richer than that of the princess. The dowry alone was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the silver at the bottom of the box was even more. I heard it was over a hundred thousand taels of silver.
As for Chu Jiahui's dowry, a large amount of it fell on Chu Yu after Chu Jiahui's death.
Of course, the rumors from the outside may be a little false, but Chu Yu can definitely get fifty thousand taels of silver.
Also, even if Chu Jiahui's dowry is not enough, doesn't Chu Yu still have the house and farm gifted by the emperor?
The market price of these two things is more than 20,000 taels of silver. If Chu Yu is willing to help, he will definitely be able to redeem the peonies today.
Thinking of this, Song Huai was so excited that he hurried to Chu's house in a carriage. He didn't even think about why Xia Zihan's mother's dowry should be given to him in vain to redeem a skill. female?
Moreover, he dared to attack the house and farm that the emperor had gifted to Xia Zihan. This Song Huai was really out of his mind.
It may be like this for a hero to have a hard time with a beauty.
However, when Song Huaixing hurried to Chu's house, the guard informed Zeng that he was unwell and declined the visit, sending Song Huai away.
A bucket of ice water was poured down his pocket. Song Huai felt a chill all over his body, and he slumped on the carriage helplessly.
Even when the carriage arrived at Song's house, Shu Zhen called him several times, but he didn't seem to hear him.
It wasn't until after two cups of tea that Song Huai came out of the carriage with a decadent look.
Shu Zhen really couldn't stand it. After returning to the room, he persuaded softly, "Master, isn't he just a prostitute in a brothel? How can he be more important than County Master Chu Yu? That is the dowry of County Master Chu Yu's mother. How could she give it to you so easily, as well as the house and the farm on the outskirts of the city? They are all gifts from the emperor, and they are all things that will be left to the children of County Lord Chuyu in the future. If the prince just said a word, they would just take them. out.”
What's more, spending so much money to redeem a skilled girl, no matter how you calculate it, it's not worth it.
Of course, Shu Zhen didn't say the last sentence because he didn't want to make Song Huai unhappy.
Song Huai said unhappily, "Those things will belong to the Song family in the future. I want them from her now. I just want to use them in advance. Why does she disagree?"
It's a matter of course.
Shu Zhen curled her lips and thought to herself, what is the Song family, that is the dowry of the county head of Chu Yu.
Even if County Master Chu Yu marries in later, the dowry given to the Song family cannot be touched.
Otherwise, the dowry of County Lord Chuyu’s mother would have been taken away by the Xia family long ago.
In the end, Song Huai couldn't redeem Mudan, but he didn't give up either. He thought that since Mudan accepted the guest, she would no longer be a virgin or a shepherd, and the money to redeem her body would be cheaper, and he would be able to spend less time with Chu. I want some jade.
The next day, Song Huai went to the Chu residence again, but unfortunately he was still told that visitors were not allowed. Song Huai wanted to use money to bribe the guard to tell Xia Zihan that he was coming.
He was confident that Xia Zihan would not miss him if he knew he was coming.
But the guard said, "The old lady said that no one will be allowed in. The old lady wants to recuperate."
An angry Song Huai slapped the guard, then gritted his teeth and left.
In the early morning of the next day, when Shu Zhen asked him to get up and go to the examination room, Song Huai belatedly remembered that he was going to the examination room today and would be there for three days.
But because of Peony's incident these past two days, he didn't eat or rest well at all.
When I closed my eyes at night, my dream was filled with images of Peony being pressed down and bullied by a fat old man.
She cried and shouted for him to save her.
He was heartbroken, but he was helpless to save her.
Every night in the middle of the night, he woke up from nightmares, and then he couldn't fall asleep again. All he could think about was Mudan's charming face and her soft and fragrant body.
The night before yesterday, he got wet for the first time in his life.
When I woke up in the morning, I didn't dare to look into Shu Zhen's eyes.
And last night, he got wet twice in a row, which made him feel ashamed just thinking about it.
He didn't want to think about Peony, but he couldn't help but think about it. When he thought of her, he felt hard and uncomfortable down there, and his body's desire made him couldn't help but reach his hands down there.
He couldn't stop that feeling.
Song Huai even thought that he was sick.
He was weak and entered the examination room exhausted.
Three days later, he came out. He had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken, and his legs were as heavy as lead, and he couldn't lift them when he walked.
Finally, it was Shu Zhen who helped him get into the carriage.
When I got home, I slumped on the bed like a dead pig, motionless.
Three days later, the list of scholars came down first.
Song Huai went to check it early, but unfortunately, when he found it from beginning to end, his name was not on it.
Song Huai was very disappointed. He went to a restaurant to drink alone. He was so drunk that he couldn't remember what he did after that.
When he woke up and opened his eyes, he was stunned by the white and tender skin in front of him. Especially when he saw the little red in the white skin, his cheeks completely burned.
After he completely sobered up, he realized that he had come to Xinghua Tower in a daze after being drunk, and even asked a girl to accompany him.
And he actually suppressed a strange girl all night long. Seeing the bite marks, pinch marks, and suction marks all over the girl's body, he was about to collapse and burrow into the ground to keep company with ants.
The only thing he was glad about was that he came to Xinghua House, not a teahouse or a tea shop. Even if he was confused all night, he could spend a little money to solve the problem without leaving any trouble.
Otherwise, he unconsciously dragged someone's girl to do such a thing, then he... Song Huai thought of the infamous Prince Lu a few months ago, and shuddered hard all over.
However, when the woman asked her for money, Song Huai realized that he didn't bring any money.
This time I was embarrassed and lost my fortune.
Song Huai gritted his teeth and pledged a jade pendant he was wearing to Xinghua Tower.
“I’ll ask someone to pick it up in the afternoon,” he said.
After getting dressed and leaving the house, I passed by a door and was suddenly attracted by the crying inside.
The door was gently closed, but not shut, and he pushed it open by accident.
The one crying is Peony.
Seeing the lovely girl who was thinking about her day and night, crying like a tearful person, Song Huai felt heartbroken, so he rushed over and hugged her tightly.
"Peony, why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell me and I will make the decision for you."
I don’t even know how much I weigh, so I have to let others decide when I open my mouth.
Mudan spat disdainfully, but she sobbed pitifully, "That man... he wants to redeem me, and he wants to raise me outside. I... when I think about it, I won't be able to see you in the future. ”
That man refers to the man who gave her the 'bud'.
After the man tasted her, she encouraged him to redeem her body and make her his only woman.
The man was moved, so he gave the madam thirty thousand taels of silver notes.
She whispered, "I will come to pick you up tomorrow."
Then, she will belong to another man from tomorrow on, and she will never belong to him again.
Song Huai was stunned. When he came to his senses, he had already pressed Mudan under him, and her clothes were torn by him.
Song Huai had his first taste of human affairs, and the other woman was the woman he thought about day and night, which made him even crazier.
Her taste was so delicious that it made him tremble, and he was willing to surrender under her pomegranate skirt, lingering and wanting to die on her like this.
By the time Song Huai walked out of Xinghua Tower, it was already afternoon.
And because he didn't have any money with him, he slept with Mudan secretly, so he was forced by the madam to sign an IOU for five hundred and fifty taels of silver, and he had to pay back the money within three days, otherwise, the madam would go to the Anyang Marquis Mansion. Go and collect the debt.
Mudan was worth five hundred taels of silver per night, and the fifty taels of silver was the price of the skilled woman Song Huai slept with before.
Of course, after signing the IOU, he got the jade pendant back.
Although he owed a debt of five hundred taels of silver, Song Huai did not regret it at all, but was very happy.
For five hundred taels of silver, he could have sex with Peony, whom he missed so much that his heart ached. He thought it was worth it.
Not to mention five hundred taels, even five thousand taels of silver, he felt it was worth it.
……
Chu House...
In the evening, Chu Jingqi came in a hurry again and woke Xia Zihan up.
"Ayu, I have some good news for you." His smile almost reached behind his ears with joy.
However, Xia Zihan gave him a big look.
"What a great thing, you have to come and tell me in the middle of the night." She put on the coat he handed over and leaned on the big pillow he put behind her.
All of this, the two of them did in a very natural and natural way, just like an old couple who had been together for decades, they had a tacit understanding, and the two of them didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it at all, as if it was just the way it should be.
"I have finished the Song family's affairs." Chu Jingqi smiled and announced the answer, "Although it took a long time, the effect is definitely the best."
"What effect?" Xia Zihan asked curiously.
At this moment, she also became energetic and urged Chu Jingqi, "Speak quickly, speak quickly, I want to listen."
Chu Jingqi just smiled and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her face, but he didn't want to use force, as if he touched her face.
When Xia Zihan was about to get angry, he said with a doting look on his face, "You look so impatient. You haven't gone anywhere in the past few months. You must be bored."
"You also know that you said last year that you would take me to the lotus garden this year. It's almost halfway through July, and it seems that the lotus flowers are about to disappear, and you haven't fulfilled your promise. Humph, as expected, I believe in men If so, the sows will climb the tree.”
No, the topic has changed.
Xia Zihan glared at him, "Don't change the topic, tell me quickly, has Song Baiqing taken a concubine?"
"No."
"Ah, didn't you mean..."
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet." Chu Jingqi laughed sullenly, and angrily Xia Zihan raised her hand and pinched his arm hard.
