The little eunuch led Hu San, the magistrate of Hu, Wang Xiaowu, and others in two sedan chairs, and went straight to the old man's house.

Hu Fenxian's father, Hu Yuanwai, saw such a huge procession coming towards his house, including those sitting in sedan chairs, walking on the ground, riding on horseback, blowing and beating. , a good battle.Member Hu hurried into the house and said:

"Look at how it goes. I'm guessing right? The marriage proposal team is here. There are three big sedan chairs in total. I saw the last sedan chair. It was the magistrate. I didn't see the one in front. It must be the rescuer." Fenxian’s young man is right. Get ready, and act according to my wink.”

As soon as the guests got off the sedan chair, member Hu would kowtow to the ground.Hu San was the first to say:

"Old man, this is our imperial envoy. He has just been ordered by the emperor to concurrently serve as the counter-insurgency marshal. General Pan Pan You'an is."

The old man didn't remember anything else, he only heard an imperial envoy, and he was so frightened that he was an imperial envoy. When has he ever seen such a big official in his life?

"Old man, please don't show so much etiquette. The whole family is still so foreign? It stands to reason that you are an elder, so we should kowtow to you."

Look at these heart-warming words, Mr. Hu was very happy when he heard it, everyone said that they are a family, and they also said that they would kowtow to him, it seems that the marriage is likely to be successful.

After entering the living room, everyone sat down according to the guest and host. The young eunuch had the highest official position and sat at the head. No matter how polite he was, he could not mess with the royal law.Below are Hu San and Wang Xiaowu in order, and the old man Hu is sitting opposite.Mrs. Hu had no seat and stood outside the Hu members.

The little eunuch is straightforward, and he has never been willing to beat around the bush, besides, he has the grace of saving this family.Relying on these face, so after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"Old man, we borrowed money."

The old man was sinking like water on the outside, and his enthusiasm was wiped away by the word "borrow" from the little eunuch.After making a fuss for a long time, he came to borrow money. Could it be Uncle Liu Huang who borrowed Jingzhou?With the salaries of the court, these people have food and clothing, what are they borrowing money for?It's better to fight with open fire to grab it!Doing small favors to others is just for their money, asking for money is not easy to open their mouths, and they just ask for money. They don't want to be officials, and even officials are greedy. The world is cold, and people's hearts are not ancient!The old man shook his head with a sigh and said:

"No."

The little eunuch thought that opening his mouth to borrow money would be easy, but he didn't expect to hit a hard nail as soon as he opened his mouth. His face flushed immediately, and he was silent for half a day.This family is magnificent, with tall houses and large houses, and countless servants. It doesn't look like a family without money!It turns out that the richer a person is, the more stingy he is. A cheapskate let him meet him.If you don't borrow it, don't borrow it, forget it, I left, and the little eunuch immediately had the idea of ​​picking up the sedan chair and returning home.

Not to mention that the little eunuch was embarrassed in the living room, but only that the young lady was complaining in the inner room, seeing a happy marriage that Daddy broke up.Mr. Lang works outside and has contacts with a wide range of people. The little salary given by the royal family is not enough to make ends meet. A penny is hard for a hero.If he borrows money, he will lend it to him. If he wants one thousand and ten thousand is not enough, how much more can he ask for?The old man regards money as his life, and has earned countless family fortunes, not to mention three generations, even eight lifetimes can't be spent!

On the back wall of the living room, there is a small door. The small door is opened slightly, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside, but the lady can see clearly from the outside.It is said that the married girls are the ones who are splashed with water, and half of the unmarried girls are gone.How does the old man know that the young lady is facing the son-in-law who doesn't even know her?

It's still Hu San. Prefect Hu is a cunning man. When he saw the embarrassing situation in front of him, he hurriedly smoothed things over and said:

"Old man, when we came to Guibao's house in person today, we wanted to ask for two things. The imperial envoy is a straightforward person, and he forgets his own interests when he is in a hurry, so he puts the official business first."

"There are still private matters, what private matters?"

The old man is also straightforward, and he usually likes straight people.He has no regrets about his recklessness just now. He has always hated young people who spend their days drinking and drinking without frugality, and he is not afraid of the powerful and powerful, and he is upright, even the king of heaven and my father are not afraid.Hearing that Prefect Hu said that he still had private matters, he hurriedly asked.

"Let's talk about business!" The little eunuch took a breather, and interjected, "If you succeed, you will fail, and we don't rely on anyone!"

The little eunuch had almost given up hope for this marriage. He felt awkward even thinking about getting married to such a stingy family, so he spoke in a particularly blunt tone.

The old woman kept winking at the old man, but the old man pretended not to see it when he saw it, and he still held his head with his neck slumped, asking for money, and taking it as fast as he could.

"Why don't we talk about the two things at the same time." Hu San's mind turned quickly, he was smart, and his mouth was sharp, he said, "Maybe you have also heard about the rebellion of King Fan. Mr. Pan is the Generalissimo, and at the same time, he conscripted troops on the spot to wipe out the rebels. Because the journey is far away, and the imperial food will not arrive in a while, we asked Marshal Pan to find some big households to raise some. Don’t we, Mr. Pan, feel that we are familiar with you? Is it the relationship between you, so I will lend you my hand first. This is a business matter, not a private matter..."

Speaking of this, Hu San deliberately stopped talking, and looked around.

The little eunuch bowed his head and didn't speak, he was still angry!

Only then did Member Hu understand that they came here to raise rations, not extortion, and his stomach immediately felt much better.And I was ashamed of my attitude just now, and I wrongly blamed other people's children.It is not easy for a young man to go out and do business for the royal family. If you ask him to borrow money to spend, it is still for the public and not for personal use. How can he treat others like that?Thinking about it this way, the old man said:

"Your Majesty, the country is in trouble, and everyone is responsible. Let's put aside private matters and discuss business matters first. You can tell me the number, and I will borrow it."

"I can't say the numbers. The imperial envoy is the one who decides. You can ask him." Hu San kicked the ball to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch also felt that he was too abrupt, without explaining the reason, he just opened his mouth to talk about borrowing money, who can rest assured?He is a person who understands the general situation and doesn't stick to small details. He didn't look at Hu San's eyes, stood up by himself, and said respectfully:

"Old man, we want to borrow one hundred thousand silver from your old man for military expenses. I wonder if you have enough money on hand? After the war, the original silver will be returned with double the interest."

Member Hu waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? Our family doesn't speak the same language, isn't it just 10 taels of silver, and there is no need to type the note. I will just lend it to you."

The little eunuch was overjoyed, and suddenly fell to the ground, bowed and said, "Thank you, old man, I thank you on behalf of the emperor."

The old man hastily helped him up, his face changed suddenly, pale and yellow, and he said in a trembling voice: "The sky is turned upside down, how can there be any reason for the imperial envoy to worship the common people?"

The little eunuch smiled and said, "You are an elder, so it should be."

Hu San was about to open his mouth to talk about private matters, but the veteran waved his hand to stop him:

"Don't talk, don't talk, I understand what you mean. After the victory in suppressing the rebellion, you will come to the sedan chair to carry people. Where can I find such a good son-in-law? My ancestors have accumulated virtue."
