Chapter 55 IOUs
Although the second child replied that he had already lived in the village below Fajing Temple, Liu Lingling also sent a letter saying that they went directly to Fajing Temple when they arrived in Hangzhou. stand up.

What's even worse is that Dr. Jia forcibly extorted 5 taels of silver from himself. He had no cash, so he had to write him an IOU and pay it off within a month.

Thinking of this, the old lady wished she could smash that greedy ghost to death with a brick.

When the second wife left the main courtyard, she held Pei Yezhu's hand affectionately, and took her pro daughter Xie Wenwan to Zhao's house to enjoy the flowers.

When the second lady came out of the yard, the old lady got angry and couldn't help but wanted to smash the things at hand.

Fortunately, he restrained himself.

"You guys go down!" The old lady's tone recovered, and she spoke gently to the two personal servant girls beside her, Dong Xue and Qiu Ju.

After Dongxue and Qiuju stepped back, the old lady took out a copybook with the words Xie Yuyi, an ink painting of Yanqing, a handful of jade ruyi, and a set of golden face.

Xie Yuyi was a calligrapher who came out of the Xie family's most glorious time. His last calligraphy can be regarded as a thousand-character copybook, but it's a pity that he only left a thousand-character copybook for his family.It is also difficult for outsiders to ask him a word.His words are still hard to find in the market.

Yan Qing and Xie Yuyi are celebrities of the same era, and his ink paintings are also extremely precious. It is said that Xie Yuyi exchanged a thousand characters for a painting back then.

"Take it as a pawn, don't let others see that you are here, take the bank note and go to exchange the IOU I wrote."

The old lady took out these things with a sullen look on her face.

These things, except for a set of gold-faced noodles, which are his own property, the rest belong to the grandfather, even if it is Yu Ruyi, it is also passed down from generation to generation in the Xie family.

But right now, he can't do without, that Dr. Jia looks like he wants to fight with his own family, and he can't let him kill him. If his reputation is ruined, he will have no way out.

After buying these, I still have some spare money, so I can use the spare money to buy rice and save it. When the price soars, I can resell it once, and I should be able to redeem those things that were used to vent my anger, and no one will find out.

Nanny Li nodded solemnly, and put away these precious things one by one.

A total of 10 taels of silver was pawned, and 5 taels of silver bills were spent to exchange for the IOU in Dr. Jia's hand, and he returned with the 5 taels of silver bills.

"Old lady, this is the fifty thousand taels of IOU I got back from Dr. Jia, and this is the remaining fifty thousand taels of silver note."

The old lady's face was gloomy. These days, her heart has been on fire, and there is nothing she wants.

"Go to Li's rice shop and buy [-] catties of rice, store it in their place, and sell it when the price of rice doubles. I hope the price of rice will rise soon, so that I can redeem those rice as soon as possible." Come."

The old lady was able to have such an idea, not only because she was forced to do nothing, but because Aunt Xie Wenjing's words gave her such courage.

Aunt Xie Wenjing also advised her family to buy rice and save it, saying that after the price rose, she would sell it for her family.

The price of rice is indeed one price a day these days. If it continues at this speed, it will at least double within half a month. The old lady is full of confidence.

Hmph, isn't it just buying and selling rice?Who doesn't buy and sell money?He didn't need to show up in person, it was enough to have Nanny Li by his side.Who cares about the Du family?
As long as half a month, I can wipe out the shortfall of my grandfather without anyone noticing.

Besides, when the second lady arrived at the Zhao family, the mistress of the Zhao family really looked a little stiff.

When Xie Wenjing came, she didn't think it was a thing, but if she dared not come, she just didn't give herself face.

"What? Is Wenjing sick again, so she can't come over?"

Mrs. Zhao asked very aggressively.There was a small flame in my heart.Seeing that Xie Wenjing was not among the two girls led by the second lady, Mrs. Zhao blurted out asking without waiting for the ceremony.

"How can she be sick every day? Didn't she have been seriously ill for many years like her father? This child is still filial. She took her father and mother back to Hangzhou with the people of the Du family in Hangzhou, saying that the Fajing Temple over there is very good. Ling. Ye Zhu, Wen Wan, hurry up and meet Mrs. Zhao!"

The second lady smiled enthusiastically, as if she couldn't see the dissatisfaction in Mrs. Zhao's eyes.

"Hello, Mrs. Zhao!" Pei Yezhu called softly and affectionately.The attitude is extremely respectful.

"Mrs. Zhao!" Xie Wenwan called out politely, her attitude was not as respectful as Pei Yezhu's, but it was by no means rude.

"Hey, isn't this the cute and well-behaved Ye Zhu? Since you're here, don't be restrained. Take a good look at the garden of our Zhao family. There are many flowers in it that you haven't seen before!"

Mrs. Zhao held Pei Yezhu's hand kindly, as if showing off, it's not the same thing as the second wife, mother and daughter.

The second lady smiled indifferently, hum, what's so great about your Zhao family?Hasn't there been a Beijing official up to now?Aren't you hanging out in Yangzhou like your own man?

My man is very likely to pass the Jinshi exam this year. When that time comes, I will look at you out of the corner of my eye. Why are you so arrogant?
I came here today, and I didn't come for your house. I didn't come to meet the wives and ladies of those aristocratic families. I can't bear to look at your face?

After showing off, Mrs. Zhao threw the second wife and others to her maid to lead her, while she went to greet other ladies.

"Mrs. Zhao, are you holding a flower appreciation banquet today to reward your future eldest daughter-in-law's flower? Don't keep her away, show us to meet, so we can see your parents-in-law's flower too!"

Mrs. Zhifu was also invited, but Mrs. Zhifu disdained coming. She had to come because of face. After she came, she deliberately said this to stab Mrs. Zhao who likes to show off.

Mrs. Zhao's face suddenly became stiff, and she was even more angry with Xie Wenjing. Why did she agree to this marriage so obsessively?

Xie's family is out of tune, and Xie Wenjing's is even more out of tune, which caused her to be ridiculed this year.

"Hehehe, Wen Jing's child is full of filial piety, and she accompanied her father to the Fajing Temple in Hangzhou to pray for blessings. I heard that the Buddha in Fajing Temple will recover as soon as you ask for it!"

"Really? Mrs. Zhao can't say that the Jing Temple is effective in front of them. They believe in our Daming Temple in Yangzhou the most!"

The magistrate's wife stimulated Mrs. Zhao again.

"That's right, our Daming Temple in Yangzhou is naturally the most effective. I've never heard of Fajing Temple in Hangzhou!"

The prefect's wife's sycophant quickly agreed.

Mrs. Zhao's expression became even more embarrassing. Fortunately, the other old lady couldn't stand it anymore. After all, it was Mrs. Zhao's treat, so she couldn't be too embarrassing.

"Buddha is merciful. If we believe in Buddha, if we have Buddha in our hearts, we will be Buddha everywhere."

"Yes, yes, what the old lady said is very true, I have been taught!"

Mrs. Zhao went down the steps given by the old lady, and hated Xie Wenjing even more in her heart. If it wasn't for her, she would have been ridiculed by the prefect's wife?
