Chapter 52 That’s it?
He carries a lump of gold with him, and there is a gold millstone at home.
With such conditions, anyone can walk sideways when shopping.
Logically speaking, Li Qingshi must feel this way.
But this guy is really too low-key.
Li Qingshi drove for two or three hours in a carriage, and he was almost hungry, so he didn't bother to go to a restaurant to fill his stomach.
Fortunately, Sun Weiwei was very considerate. As soon as she entered the county, she asked the chef of Sun Jiyin House to get some food for Li Qingshi.
Sun Weiwei cannot have meals with Li Qingshi.
Even on the way here, Li Qingshi sat outside the carriage with Lin Bo, the coachman.
In the Great Jing Dynasty, it was considered indecent behavior for unmarried women to stay in the same room with men or even walk side by side, violating the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Rules.
Of course, seriously speaking, these taboos are just a joke in the eyes of poor people who don’t have enough to eat.
But in the city, the more ladylike everyone is, the more particular they are.
The same is true. Many wealthy ladies bring maids with them when they go out. In addition to being convenient, they can also avoid suspicion.
Although Sun Weiwei's family is relatively wealthy, as a concubine and a concubine, she does not receive such treatment.
Frankly speaking, firstly, it is because he is not as valued as his legitimate children; secondly, after all, he is still not rich enough!
Affected by the disaster, the entire Aoki Prefecture not only suffered a serious population loss, but also shrank its economy a lot, and its economic development continued to decline.
Sun Ji Silver Building, a non-essential industry other than food and drink, has been even more severely impacted by the economic downturn.
Especially recently, a new batch of yellow and white goods from Sun Ji Yinlou were robbed by bandits on the way back.
I lost a lot of gold and silver from Sun Jiyin House all at once, and I was about to delay the orders placed by big customers.
It can be said that the house is leaking and it rains all night.
Thinking that the delivery day would come in half a month, Sun Weiwei's father, Sun Dafu, couldn't sleep all night long because of this worry!
The customer who placed the order is the Humen Escort Agency, which is very prestigious in the county.
And the owner of the Humen Escort Agency is the brother of the county magistrate.
The young master of the Humen Escort Bureau had a wedding and ordered more than a hundred pieces of gold and silver jewelry and utensils at Sun Jiyin Building, which were expensive.
Originally, Sun Jiyinlou wanted to boost this year's sales with this big business, so that it could have a good winter and a good year.
Who would have thought that we would end up in such a terrible mess.
The supply route to Qingmu Mansion has been cut off from the supply of gold and silver goods due to bandits.
Even if Sun Ji Silver House can raise some money for the goods, it will definitely not dare to buy any more goods.
Thinking of this, Sun Dafu sighed, feeling like a hero in his twilight years.
"Brother, big brother! There is news."
A man with facial features quite similar to Sun Dafu rushed in shouting.
Sun Dafu stood up excitedly: "Lao Liu, what do you say over there?"
The person coming was Sun Dafu's younger brother, Sun Liufu.
Sun Liufu was fat and panting after jogging a few steps.
After entering the room, he first picked up Sun Dafu's tea bowl and drank a few sips, and then said with a strange expression: "The Jing family in the neighboring county agreed to lend us some yellow and white goods, but ..."
"It's nothing, you should tell me quickly." Sun Dafu urged his brother dissatisfied.
Sun Liufu spread his hands and said, "Well, the other party said that they can borrow the full amount of the gold and silver we lack, but they have to marry Weiwei to the only son of the Jing family." "What did you say?" Sun Dafu raised his eyebrows dissatisfied.
“Oh, I also know that you are in trouble. After all, they say that guy from the Jing family is trying to kill his wife. But brother, if this business goes bad, our old Sun family will be in trouble. ...Alas! I don’t have much to say. Brother, let me make up my mind.”
Sun Dafu sat at the Eight Immortals table in silence for a moment, then sighed and said helplessly: "That's all we have to do."
There are two trees in front of the Sun family's house.
One is a ginkgo, and the other is also a ginkgo.
Li Qingshi ate a bowl of noodles in the back kitchen of Sun Jiyin House. When he came to Sun's house to look for Sun Weiwei, he found that he couldn't even get through the door.
“I’m really Miss Weiwei’s friend, just let me in.”
“That’s not possible, our master has just ordered that after Miss Weiwei comes back this time, You are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to interact with anyone."
Li Qingshi explained sincerely: "I am here to discuss business. I want to buy a lot of blue rose stones, big business."
"If you want to discuss business, you have to go to Sun Jiyin House. We won't accept you here."
Li Qingshi had no way to deal with the housekeeper of Sun House who didn't have access to oil or salt.
Simply walked aside, found a place on the courtyard wall that no one was paying attention to, and jumped in after a few moments.
Li Qingshi has been very strong since he was a child. People in the village say that he is born with supernatural powers. In the past few years, he has been working in the mountains and fields all year round, and he has become as agile as a monkey.
A mere bluestone wall two people high is nothing to worry about.
Sun House is a large courtyard with five entrances and five exits. Li Qingshi walked around quietly for a while before hearing Sun Weiwei's voice outside a courtyard gate.
There seems to be some unpleasant sound.
"Dad, I won't marry! Who doesn't know that the only son of the Jing family is a romantic and has bad conduct."
"The business of the bank is so bad now, it all depends on the Jing family's willingness to pull the strings. If we offend them, the family's business will be ruined. You don't want the business left by your ancestors to be ruined by your father," Sun Dafu advised earnestly.
"I don't want to marry him." Sun Weiwei said again timidly.
"Your parents ordered a matchmaker. You must marry." Sun Weiwei's brother said impatiently.
In addition to his wife, Sun Dafu also had two concubines. Sun Weiwei's mother was the youngest concubine.
This brother is the eldest son of the Sun family!
"Sanniang, please advise the child. If this continues, this huge family fortune may be in jeopardy."
"Son, your father has nothing to do, so just agree." A middle-aged woman said with a cry.
Sun Weiwei stamped her feet and said: "Mom! I won't marry! The evil deeds of the only son of the Jing family have been spread to us from neighboring counties. How could you have the heart to push your daughter into the fire pit?"
Sun Weiwei's brother angrily reprimanded: "I think you have really spoiled you over the years. You don't even listen to your parents. What a shame... what a shame!"
Sun Weiwei's eyes Turning red, her bright eyes could no longer hold back any longer, and tears fell in large drops.
Sun Weiwei's brother angrily shouted with displeasure: "What's the use of crying? Do you know how difficult our family is now? If you don't jump into this fire pit, every one of our family will be counted as one. We have to fall into the fire pit, and you can't escape!"
Sun Dafu sighed and said, "Weiwei, dad can't help it. Let me tell you the truth, our family is in trouble. , the hundreds of taels of newly imported yellow and white goods were all looted by the bandits. You also know that we accepted a large order of gold and silver jewelry from the Humen Escort Bureau, and as the date approached, if we didn't ask the Jing family to dismantle it, this would happen. I’m afraid I won’t be able to pass.”
Sun Weiwei suddenly stopped crying as she listened.
After hearing Sun Dafu’s bitter words, Sun Weiwei blinked her eyes and said innocently: “Dad, is this it?”
As soon as Sun Weiwei’s words came out of her mouth , everyone present was immediately dumbfounded.
What is this word? Is this kid crazy?
