A piece of paper

"Zuo Niang, didn't I ask you about the money?" Chen Fu casually threw Xian Jin's leftover pear cores into the wooden bucket, his long face showing great doubts, "She came to ask me for money, you If you know me, your whole body will hold you up to 30 taels"

When he was in Xuancheng, his old mother took all the money on him, fearing that he would spend it recklessly.

When he arrived in Jing County, he still didn't have a lot of money on him-he was filled into the shop by Xianjin.

One month, he has to go to the workshop or store for 20 days, go in the morning and go in the evening, regardless of what he does during the day, but he must appear there.

If the requirements are met, Director Dong will send him 50 taels of silver every month.

In Xuancheng, how can he really have no money?What his mother received was a monthly payment, and he also had dividends from the shop, filial piety from the village, support from the second elder brother, and a red envelope from the eldest brother who returned home every Spring Festival. If he really had no money, how could he support Ai Niang?
But when he arrived in Jing County, he really had no money. Who will help him?Is it the Zhou dog who is full of tendons, who writes wrong words every day and is punished until he has no underwear left, or Li Sanshun who is as stubborn as a donkey and lives next to the sink every day?

Chen Fu's bitter tears of old age.

He lives on the 50 taels of silver that Xianjin gave him every month!

Therefore, on the days when he did not go out to look for food, he was dawdling in the workshop. Although he had nothing to do, he brought Li Sanshun precious spiritual encouragement.

His mother didn't touch him, his girl did.

Speaking of this matter, Chen Fu was aggrieved and angry, "She didn't come at a good time today. If she came at the beginning of the month, I would still have 50 taels of silver with me."

Xian Jin didn't bother to talk to him, and brought the topic back to Chen Zuoniang, "...she came to see me and helped me all morning, but she didn't say anything."

Xian Jin understood and was suddenly dumbfounded.

Did Zuo Niang not say it?

Chen Fu is an elder, and although it is embarrassing to ask an elder for help, it makes sense.

She is the younger sister.

It is indeed too embarrassing for the husband's family to ask for a high dowry before they are willing to propose marriage.

Xian Jin pursed his lips.

Chen Fu asked with a "tsk", "How much money is left in our account?"

Xian Jin opened his mouth and said, "Four hundred taels, Boss Shang's money can be negotiated; Xiao Cao Village's money can be paid at the end of the year, 400 taels of living money."

That's just right.

Chen Fu sighed, "If you have spare money, just give her a hand, just treat me as the third uncle, and you as the fifth sister to add makeup to her."

Money is a bastard, whoever loves is doomed.

Things that can be bought with money are worthless.

This is what Ai Niang said.

He took it for granted.

If a mere 400 taels of silver can protect a girl's reputation and rescue her from a difficult situation, then this amount of money far exceeds the value of 400 taels.

Seeing that Xian Jin hesitated a little, Chen Fu knew in his heart that every copper coin in this store was useful for Miss Jin, and if such a sudden move of cash would definitely mess up her plan, he hurriedly persuaded, " I still have a snuff bottle from the former official kiln in my hand. Last time, Zhenbao Pavilion offered 200 taels to accept it, but I didn’t agree. I will pawn it tomorrow, and I will make up for you in the account—we can’t help ourselves by helping others It's the end of the mountain."

There is no shortage of mountains and rivers in the shop, but let you be my beloved snuff bottle...

Xian Jin waved his hand, "You can put away those rags of yours! You have been a pain in the ass for eight years, I don't want to hear you nagging—"

Turning around and walking out, "Don't worry about this matter, go to sleep first. Even if you really want to give money, you can't give it casually."

The old man's bad jio is the best, if you leave this matter to him, you will either pay the money to the bottom, or quarrel until midnight when you sit up and sulk.

Although this father's mind is not very good, but put it there, he is still a head father.

He still doesn't show up.

Moreover, what is important in doing business is to ask for prices and pay back the money on the ground.

Can't others give what they want?
Even if you want to give it, at least let the whole Chen family know—the old dandy, Mr. Chen, this time, he has done something big.

but.
Xian Jin sighed, it would be best if he could stop the loss in time.

Xian Jin put the lock on and went to the seventh uncle's house at the intersection without stopping. When the porter heard that it was Xian Jin, he didn't inform him, and took Xian Jin directly into the courtyard.

Xian Jinjin stepped across the threshold of the inner courtyard, and heard crying inside.

"...If we really can't make up the money, let's not get married with this relative! Whether I hang my head as an aunt or throw myself into the river, I will definitely not embarrass our family!"

It was Chen Zuoniang's voice.

Even crying is soft and gentle.

"The third uncle and sister Jin don't owe our family anything, but you must use my dowry to embarrass them! I, I, I really can't say it!"

Chen Zuoniang cried like ants in the soil, unable to resist the heavy rain and waterlogging anyway.

Xian Jin stood at the door, neither dodged nor evaded, and listened openly.

The concierge stood aside: ah, hey, you can't be eavesdropping on the corner just because you look upright!
First there was the cry of a middle-aged woman, crying for Chen Zuoniang's unlucky fate, for the uncle Chen's death at an untimely time, for the family's lack of money and power, and letting others slaughter them.

Then there was a middle-aged man who scolded her for crying, called her a shrew for unreasonable and nonsense.

Then another old and low voice sounded.

"...but that kid Chen Fu doesn't agree to pay?"

Chen Zuoniang cried embarrassingly and embarrassingly, "What does this have to do with them! It is a great gift to be willing to pay. You don't blame the other party for being greedy, but blame your family for not being willing to help!"

The crutches hit the ground with a "boom".

"Nonsense! Absurd! What is the master's family! What is the master! Isn't it the person who takes care of things in times of crisis? What if we want four or five hundred taels of married women?! Shouldn't Chen Fu give it? If he doesn't agree, then we will Open an ancestral hall! I will kneel down to my ancestors with my old bones!"

"I've ruined his reputation!"

The old man scolded the street full of anger.

The old God Xianjin thought to himself: Bad reputation?It seems that you still lack a systematic understanding of Chen Fu's reputation.

The whole yard was flying like chickens and dogs.

The concierge took a peek at Xian Jin, "Are you still going in..."

It's like going to a market, go in and join the battle?
The concierge himself didn't want to come in to listen to the cursing.

Xian Jin nodded, pushed open the half-closed door, and stepped in decisively.

The hall was suddenly silent.

Chen Zuoniang's face flushed red, "Sister Jin Jin."

The rest of them had seen each other during the Spring Festival dinner, and when they saw Xian Jin appearing, they were first stunned, then elated.

Zuo Niang's biological mother, Mrs. Xu, wiped away her tears, crying heartbreakingly, "...Sister Jin, you have to help your sister Zuo Niang! That heartless thing, bullying our eldest uncle morning…"

The sound was so high that the eardrums were about to burst.

Xian Jin scratched his ears, first greeted the big guy in a leisurely manner, and then smiled to appease everyone, "Left is just about money, 100 taels is also earning, and 20 taels is also spending, you can't just because Money, let Sister Zuo Niang lose her position with our Chen family."

Xu Shisheng held Xian Jin's hand tightly, as if finding a little girlfriend, and cried back, "Yes, yes, that's the truth!"

Xian Jin smiled and held Xu's back, and said with a smile, "Sister Zuo Niang came to the shop today, but I didn't entertain her well. Otherwise, I would take my sister out for a stroll and find a quiet place, so we two can have a good talk?"

Xu repeatedly said, "Okay! Our yard is small, so we can't use it well. Go out! Auntie will give you the money!"

Seventh Uncle thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

Xian Jin and Zuo Niang walked out of the courtyard together, and as soon as they left the alley, after Xian Jin stood still, he continued to serve a straight ball, and said neatly, "Buy a pig and watch the ring. , I am afraid that this family and this marriage have counted you down to the bone, and they are very clear."

Xian Jin didn't wait for Chen Zuoniang's reaction, and said again, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't come out with this head, but now that I've been thinking about it, it seems that there is no one in the Chen family—don't hold it against you."

"Getting started?"

Chen Jianfang's voice came from behind.

"What's going on?"
