Chapter 59
"By the way, Yinrong, you go to Changxian Tower tomorrow and go to Chen Mansion with the store owner!"
Shen Yinlu remembered the business and handed the IOU from his arms to Shen Yinrong.
Shen Yinrong took it.
Lin Yan frowned and asked, "Chen Mansion? Which Chen Mansion?"
The corners of Shen Yin's mouth twitched: "What other Chen family could there be? Of course I knelt down and kowtowed 99 times to the Chen family."
The creases on Lin Yan's brow deepened, and his face looked extremely ugly.
Xiao Sanqi next to him was very surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Which Chen family dares to bully you like this? I have several brothers from Juyuan Tower who must beat him to death!"
Only then did Shen Yinlu realize that he had missed something. An unnatural look of avoidance and panic flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up and suppressed it.
"It's okay, that's just an adjective. No one dares to ask me, Doctor Shen, to kowtow!"
"Oh, then this Chen family must also bully you. I still have to take my brothers and beat him up!!"
Shen Yinlu: "It's not necessary. At least it won't be necessary for now. When I want to fight, can I call you again?"
"Okay, brother, I don't care when you say something. Don't think I'm young, but my father said that when people are in the world, the most important thing is friends. Whatever you do, you have to be righteous."
Lin Yan was irritated: "You start driving, go out and see if the carriage is still there, don't let anyone take it away."
Although Lu Sanqi was unwilling, seeing Lin Yanzhen's angry look, he obeyed and got up and left the yard——
Lin Yan looked at the little beggar next to him and thought he was mute, so he didn't yell at him.
He came to Shen Yinlu's side in two steps and lowered his voice: "What's going on?"
Shen Yinlu took a breath: "To put it simply, it's to treat others as they are treated. Chen Yuanxin got drunk with others at Changxian Tower. I teamed up with the boss of Changxian Tower and asked Chen Yuanxin to sign a 500-yuan contract. Two gold debts!”
Before anything happened to the Liu family, 500 taels of gold would not be a huge debt.
But after something happened to the Liu family, Chen Yuanxin wanted to save his father-in-law, but was afraid of harming himself, so he visited officials frequently and sent out a lot of treatment.
At this time, sending another five hundred gold IOU would be enough to give Chen Yuanxin a headache.
Oh, I forgot to mention that she also sent Chen Yuanxin to Tuxianglou. The spending for this night would cost another 80 taels of silver!
Later, it would be time to send someone to the Chen Mansion to report the news and ask Liu Ruyan to go to Tuxianglou to collect money.
Although Lin Yan didn't want to see Shen Yinlu have anything to do with Chen Yuanxin anymore, he had no objection to making Chen Yuanxin bleed.
"I'll go tomorrow! He's mute. He can't speak and it won't be of any use."
Lin Yan said, reaching out to take the IOU from the little beggar's hand.
Shen Yinlu stopped him: "Chen Yuanxin looks familiar to you. If he meets you, he will definitely think of me. Then it may be hard to get the money."
"The boss of Changxian Tower is here. When he goes there, you don't need to say anything. Just listen and watch."
What he said made sense, and Lin Yan had no choice but to take his hand back.
Shen Yinlu said: "In two days, when the Juyuan Building opens, I will soon finish the repairs. Then you can let the Juyuan Building sneak up to me after dark and send the woman to me. From now on, let Yinrong Come back every day and bring food and drink.”
Lin Yan looked at the little beggar on Shen Yinwen's right and responded in a low voice: "Okay."
Apart from anything else, delivering food to that white-haired woman was really suitable for a little beggar.
He was mute and couldn't say anything when he saw it. Ordinary people couldn't understand his gestures, so naturally they wouldn't reveal that they were hiding a white-haired dog girl. -
The next day.
Chen House.
Chen Yuanxin had never drunk so much wine before, and this was the first time he was drunk.
When I woke up, it was already bright outside. I didn’t know what time it was!
He held his aching head and the discomfort in his stomach, and called out: "Li Shan?"
It's such a sunny day, and I don't know if I've written a letter for him to ask for leave.
"Li Shan??"
Chen Yuanxin raised his voice and called twice, and the servant cleaning the door came in:
"Sir, Li Shan seems to be resting in his room. I'll call you."
Chen Yuanxin scolded: "He is used to being lazy when he rests during the day!"
The servant hesitated: "Well, Li Shan was beaten. The doctor just gave him medicine and left. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for two days."
Chen Yuanxin frowned: "Being beaten? Who is being beaten?"
Servant: ".It's Madam."
"What??" Chen Yuanxin couldn't believe it.
Liu Fengqin had just left the court and was still young. It was her first time taking care of a household. She was not very good at controlling her servants, so why would she hit someone?
"What did he do wrong?"
It actually made Feng Qin take action!
Servant: "It's not that Li Shan made a mistake, it's that he made a mistake."
The servant's words were unclear, and Chen Yuanxin said sharply:
"Speak clearly!"
"Last night, Li Shan brought Mr. Turtle from Tuxianglou back to ask his wife for money. She got angry and had Li Shan beaten twenty times."
"Wait a minute." Chen Yuanxin interrupted: "Li Shan went to Tuxianglou last night and came back to ask his wife for money?"
Is he crazy?
The servant pursed his lips, with a look of embarrassment and innocence on his face: "Sir, don't you remember what happened last night? It was you who wanted to stay in Tuxiang Building, so Li Shan came back to get the money."
Chen Yuanxin frowned and blurted out: "Impossible!"
He knew that he and the Seventh Prince drank too much last night. After leaving and getting on the carriage, he lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. How could he still have the energy to go to Tuxiang Tower!
Servant: "Last night, Madam personally picked you up from Tuxiang Tower."
Why are you insisting on something that is impossible and certain?
You said you just went to prostitutes, let Tu Xianglou sell them to save face and give you some money on credit. If you don't let Li Shan find any reason to need money urgently, how can you bring Tu Xianglou's turtle back home with you? Woolen cloth!
This lady is really, really shameless. She even went to pick someone up at the door of Tuxiang Building in the middle of the night.
It's also pitiful. It's only been a long time since the wife was pregnant with the child. Something happened to her parents' family, and her husband went to the flower house again.
Chen Yuanxin looked extremely ugly.
The servant would not tell this lie to him.
He really went to Tuxianglou last night.
Chen Yuanxin held his forehead, took a few deep breaths, and asked, "Where is Madam?"
Servant: "I saw you in the garden earlier, so I'm not too sure about this."
Chen Yuanxin ordered: "Ask two people to help me wash up, and then go to the kitchen to bring me a bowl of soup to sober up and warm my stomach."
"Yes."
After the servant agreed, he turned around and was about to leave when Chen Yuanxin stopped him:
"Call Li Shan." He wanted to ask what happened last night! -
garden.
Chen Yuanxin hugged Liu Fengqin and sat on his lap: "Last night was really not what I wanted to do. You have also heard about what kind of person the Seventh Prince is, and you also know that I despise those despicable and vulgar prostitutes. If it weren't for my father-in-law, I wouldn't even think about it for a moment. Waiting!"
"Do you know how much I suffered last night, accompanying the smiling face of the Seventh Prince, and having to endure the disgusting fragrance of powder around me?"
"I'm not a good drinker. I've never been drunk. Now it feels like there's a fire burning in my whole stomach. I feel so uncomfortable."
After several gentle words of coaxing and looking at the uncomfortable look on Chen Yuanxin's face, Liu Fengqin pursed her lips and finally relented and let it go:
"I simmered chicken soup in the kitchen and added some herbs to nourish the mind and warm the stomach. I'll bring it to you."
After Liu Fengqin finished speaking, she got up from Chen Yuanxin's lap, but was grabbed by him and pulled back.
Chen Yuanxin hugged Liu Fengqin and sighed with emotion: "I have such a considerate, gentle and considerate daughter-in-law. It is really a blessing that I, Chen Yuanxin, have cultivated in several lifetimes!"
The shame and happiness on Liu Fengqin's face was a little hot: "As long as you explain it clearly and have me in your heart, I am not such an unreasonable and unruly shrew."
Chen Yuanxin: "Of course, you are the first priority in my heart, and I am not that careless. I am only worried about your father's affairs at the moment. In the future, I will only worry about getting promoted and making a fortune, just so that you, mother and son, can have a lifetime of prosperity." "Wealth"
The two of them were like honey, and just when they were getting too sweet, a servant came to report that it was the shopkeeper of Changxian Tower who came to pay off his debt.
Liu Fengqin got up from Chen Yuanxin's lap, and her expression suddenly changed:
"Why are you still in debt at Changxian Tower? Didn't you say that His Highness Seventh Prince invited you to Tuxiang Tower?"
Chen Yuanxin could only explain back: "I went to Changxian Tower for dinner first. After eating, His Highness Seventh Prince took me to Tuxiang Tower."
"." Liu Fengqin was speechless.
Chen Yuanxin also stood up: "It's not much difference. I'm going to get some from the money box in the house and send people away first. Anyway, I'm on leave today. After lunch, I'll take you to the lake, okay? ?”
Debtors came to the door, and she was begging for help on behalf of her father. Although Liu Fengqin was a little dissatisfied, she didn't say anything and only gave Chen Yuanxin the key to the money box.
Chen Yuanxin went back to the room and took out a sandalwood box from the cabinet. There were some banknotes in it, as well as a few beads that Liu Fengqin was reluctant to wear on weekdays.
He originally counted just over 100 taels, which was enough.
But after thinking about it, I took another 50 taels from the box -
lobby.
When Chen Yuanxin arrived, the shopkeeper of Changxianlou quickly stood up and said hello.
Chen Yuanxin replied politely, and then saw a child of about eleven or twelve years old standing next to the shopkeeper, and asked:
"This young master is your son?"
The shopkeeper smiled hurriedly, "My relatives gave me this gift to stay with for a few days. When I go out, I insist on following him out. I guess he is planning to ask me to buy him some sweets when I go back!"
Chen Yuanxin didn't talk much about anything else and just asked: "How much unbalanced balance did I have yesterday?"
The shopkeeper replied: "There were still [-] gold outstanding last night. I gave you a small change. You only need to pay another [-] gold!"
"How much?" Chen Yuanxin's expression changed instantly and he stood up suddenly.
The shopkeeper repeated it again: "Return to Mr. Chen, 500 taels of gold."
Chen Yuanxin said angrily: "You are so brave, you have taken advantage of me, you don't want to open Changxian Tower!!"
Since he dared to make an appointment with Chang Xianlou last night, he went out with the equivalent of one hundred gold.
He knew it was over and he knew he had credit, but how could he still owe 500 taels of gold!
The shopkeeper was in a dilemma: "Oh, Mr. Chen, you are wrong to blame me. How dare I lie to you! It is true that you consumed so much yesterday."
"Look, you also left me an IOU!"
The shopkeeper took out the IOU.
Chen Yuanxin took a few steps forward, reached out and grabbed it, looked at the amount of money on it, as well as his signature and fingerprints, tore it into pieces twice, and said angrily:
"You're such a profiteer, you took advantage of me being drunk and unconscious to trick me into accepting such a large amount of IOU. Do you know what your crime is!!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master Chen, you are wronged. This shop puts integrity first and clearly marks the prices, so no one can bully you. If you don't believe it, you can ask His Highness the Seventh Prince and the other three young masters."
"If you lend me a hundred courage, I won't dare to trick you, Mr. Chen!"
Master Chen naturally didn't dare to borrow the courage.
But if His Highness the Seventh Prince borrowed it, that's another story.
"Hmph." Chen Yuanxin snorted: "We all drank a lot last night, how could His Highness remember such a trivial matter."
The shopkeeper looked aggrieved and was about to cry: "Your Highness didn't drink too much last night. When he came downstairs, he said that my food was delicious and ordered a few takeaways to take back to the palace. If you don't believe it, I took the menu from the store and Let’s go find His Highness the Seventh Prince together and ask them what they drank, what they ate, and how much it costs to add one yuan. This number must be right!”
"What a joke. How dare you bother me about such a trivial matter in front of His Highness the Seventh Prince?"
The table was only that big, and although he added two more drinks later, he was sure that he would never eat nearly [-] gold!
Chen Yuanxin threw 100 taels of silver at the shopkeeper, "Get out of here as soon as you get the silver!"
The shopkeeper didn't move, and didn't pick up the money that fell on his body. He changed his soft attitude and became a little harder:
"Mr. Chen, it's boring for you to default on your debt like this!"
"Did I default on the bill?" Chen Yuanxin seemed to have heard something funny, but he was actually so angry that he laughed out loud.
"I gave you what I was supposed to give. You said I was a deadbeat. Do you have proof?"
Is it based on the torn piece of waste paper on the ground?
Shopkeeper: "It's okay even if you burn this IOU to ashes. I sent it to the Yamen early in the morning for Master to have it notarized. If you don't receive the receipt I wrote, you can't rely on these 500 taels of gold." !”
Chen Yuanxin looked at the shopkeeper's disgusting expression, determined to bite him for the 500 taels of gold he owed, and narrowed his eyelids:
"You are deliberately going against me! You are also planning to stop hanging out in the capital after getting my 500 taels of gold, right?"
The shopkeeper kept his face polite and said: "Mr. Chen, it's serious. Let's discuss the matter as it is. There is no intention to go against you. There are so many dignitaries in the capital. If all of them use their official authority and power to suppress others like Mr. Chen, This small Changxian Tower can’t be opened for a long time!”
"Even if His Majesty Seventh Prince comes to the store to eat, drink and have fun, he has to pay for it. I dare not make an exception for Mr. Chen."
Chen Yuanxin's face was already ashen.
This businessman is more eloquent than those of them who read books about sages!
"Then let's go to the Yamen!"
He still didn't believe it. He couldn't let a despicable merchant take his life!
The shopkeeper didn't panic: "That's just right. His Highness Seventh Prince should be drinking tea and listening to a play in the Sifang Building right now. I'll send someone to invite His Highness Seventh Prince to go to the Yamen Court too."
"If Mr. Chen feels that the Seventh Highness is not enough, I will ask the store clerk to go to the residence of the other three young masters yesterday.
Oh, by the way, His Highness the Crown Prince is the most discerning and will never engage in malpractice for personal gain. I will send someone to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to ask for an audience. After all, you are working in the Zhan Shi Mansion. The Crown Prince should be aware of your face and may come to observe."
The shopkeeper made several sentences in a row, each sentence was clear and coherent, as if he knew this would be the result early in the morning, had already prepared his words, and was just waiting for the performance!

"If Mr. Chen feels that the Seventh Highness is not enough, I will ask the store clerk to go to the residence of the other three young masters yesterday.
Oh, by the way, His Highness the Crown Prince is the most discerning and will never engage in malpractice for personal gain. I will send someone to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to ask for an audience. After all, you are working in the Zhan Shi Mansion. The Crown Prince should be aware of your face and may come to observe."
The shopkeeper made several sentences in a row, each sentence was clear and coherent, as if he knew this would be the result early in the morning, had already prepared his words, and was just waiting for the performance!
