Chapter 474 Money touches people's hearts (the previous chapter has a wrong title)

Xie Hongwei's expression improved when he heard Yao Yu's words of appreciation, "Money and silk are things outside of the body. How can the people of the Xie family hurt their peace because of these things?"

Tan Yaoyu felt a little envious when he heard the words, this is the suzerain of a century-old family, who has never been short of money, so he has the capital to say such things.

After Tan Yaoyu finished complimenting Xie Hongwei, he stretched out his hand, and Mo Yao hurriedly handed over a copy of the account book.

Tan Zhaoyu opened and turned a few pages, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Sect Master Xie regards money as dung, so it is naturally worthy of our admiration. It's just that you are too detached and let Yin Rui, the eldest son-in-law of the former suzerain and Princess Jinling, squander it The property of the family, and even the dowry of your own wife and sister-in-law, is this because you really don't care about the stability of Xie's family, or are you too concerned about your noble reputation?"

Xie Hongwei's eyes widened in an instant. Just as she was about to argue, Princess Jinling said first, "Impossible. Although Yin Rui's child is a bit ambitious, he is also a very filial child. How could he swallow up the family property and his wife's dowry?!"

Tan Yaoyu directly handed the account book in his hand to Princess Jinling, "This is Yin Rui's recent gambling debts and repayment records. Look at the amount, but can he afford it as a person who is at home?"

Princess Jinling snatched the account book, and the more she looked at it, the more her hands trembled. When she saw the end, she almost closed her eyes!Trembling, she handed the account book to Xie Hongwei, and asked in a trembling voice, "Hongwei, do you know about this?"

Xie Hongwei's face was a bit unsightly, and he avoided looking at the account book, and said: "It's just some money. Could it be possible for me to watch my cousin's husband get his hands and feet chopped off? As for the dowry of the two cousins, it's really It's their own business, and it's not good for my nephew to interfere too much."

Princess Jinling slapped the account book on the desk in anger, "Are you helping him? Are you harming him? Let him bet more and more, and the bet is bigger!" Princess Jinling looked at the account book. The number changed from a hundred taels at the beginning to a thousand taels to ten thousand taels.

Xie Hongwei was concerned about the face of Princess Jinling and his uncle Xie Hun before, so he turned a blind eye and let Yin Rui use the family property.But he himself really felt that this little money was nothing.

Tan Yaoyu handed over another account book at this time, "Sect Master Xie may still think that although Yin Rui spent a lot, it will not hurt the foundation of Xie family. But if I guess correctly, you probably seldom ask people in the clan. business."

This time Xie Hongwei snatched the account book before Princess Jinling, but he felt a headache just after reading two pages.

What Tan Yaoyu said was right, he did rarely care about family property management.Every time I only listen to the steward to report the total number, I don’t ask any more questions about the rest.

Since he was a child, he was taught the demeanor that a noble and aristocratic son should have. Talking about money is to lower his status.So they are housekeepers in name, but in fact the family property is more managed by the stewards who have served the Xie family for generations.

Looking at his expression, Tan Zhaoyu knew that he couldn't understand, so he looked at Princess Jinling, "Your Highness used to be in charge of the Da Princess Mansion, why don't you take a look at this account book."

Princess Jinling was already aware of the seriousness of the matter, and she did not refuse. She grabbed the account book and handed it to the old woman beside her, "Come and see."

Tan Yaoyu held back his laughter so that it turned out that one or two of the masters of these clans were hands-off shopkeepers.No wonder the clan is getting worse and worse nowadays.

The old mother read it once, and then whispered a few words in Princess Jinling's ear, and Princess Jinling's face changed drastically after hearing this!Pointing at Xie Hongwei, he was speechless.

Xie Hongwei also panicked, "Auntie, don't worry, it's just some gold and silver, and I will earn it back later."

Seeing that Princess Jinling was panting like a broken bellows, Tan Yaoyu probably was very angry and didn't want to make her angry, so she took the initiative to explain: "Sect Master Xie only looks at the amount of family property, probably I think Mrs. Xie can still pay these gambling funds. But you probably don’t know that what Yin Rui used to repay the gambling funds was not cash, but Xie’s shops, properties, and business names. When these things are converted into taels of silver, look at It’s not much, but actually, your Xie family’s source of income has been cut off.”

Tan Yaoyu pointed at the total amount at the end of the account book with his sallow fingers, and explained with a smile: "To put it more simply, this amount will not increase from now on. It will only increase as the Xie family spends more and more. Reduce. It is the so-called sit and eat.”

Princess Jinling breathed a sigh of relief at this time, pointing to Xie Hongwei and said sadly: "I know you yearn for celebrities with high moral character, but since you have become the suzerain, how can you let the money of the clan go so far? People are in the world. You can escape the worldly affairs. What's more, you are still the head of the clan, and the responsibility of the entire Xie family rests on you. How can you be so famous?"

Xie Hongwei hurriedly explained that this was not the case.

Tan invited Yu to watch the two argue and explain leisurely while drinking tea.If you want to convince the two people in front of you, you have to make them afraid first.I am afraid of losing my good life and high status, and I am even more afraid of being infamous after death.

It took Yaoyu most of the autumn and the whole winter to make this set for Xie's family.The police taught the people in the gambling house to let Yin Rui use real property to pay for the gambling funds.It even allowed the premium of Yin Rui's farm shop to offset capital.That is to say, the world of one hundred taels of silver can be worth one hundred and ten taels of gambling capital.

Yin Rui was hesitant at first, but the casino promised to redeem the family property at the original price when he won it back.Yin Rui thought about Xie Hongwei's habit of not asking about money, and felt that he would definitely win it back, so he agreed.

As a result, you lose more and win less, and you lose more than you win.In just a few months, the debt piled up.Even Xie Hongwei couldn't have imagined that the dignified Xie family would be hollowed out by one person in such a short period of time.

The two account books that Zhu Yuanyuan helped Tan Yaoyu make were like two huge rocks, pressing on Xie Hongwei and Princess Jinling.

Then it was Princess Jinling who came to her senses first, and asked Yao Yu eagerly, "Since the host came today, there must be a solution. I also hope that the host can give me some advice."

Tan Zhaoyu sighed, as if he was a bit embarrassed, "The reason why I came here today is because Xie Huilian, a young gentleman of the Xie family, has a predestined relationship with me in Xingzhelou. The reason why I took out these two booklets to remind you two, It’s also to help Xiao Langjun.”

Princess Jinling looked blank, "Xie Huilian? Whose family's child is it?"

Xie Hong hurriedly turned sideways to whisper a few words with Princess Jinling.Princess Jinling suddenly realized, "So Fang Ming suddenly became the prefect of Kuaiji because Xingzhelou is helping him?"

Tan Yaoyu nodded slightly and admitted.After all, although this guess is wrong, it is not far away.

Xie Hongwei was puzzled: "But why? There are so many young talents in my Xie clan, why did you pick a child from a side branch?"

It didn't surprise Tan Yaoyu that Xie Hongwei would ask this question.They grew up at the top of the clan since they were young, and they always feel that they are superior to others. It must be difficult to accept a person from a side branch who is higher than them.

"If we have to find out the reason," Tan Yaoyu said, "It's time and fate. His destiny is destined to make him different."

Compared with the explanation of "the princes and generals, I would rather have a kindness", it may be more acceptable to Xie Hongwei to attribute everything to the destiny.
