Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 150 No good wine, no good banquet, no good banquet (1)
Xu Zongde's reaction was much more intense than Cao Mingquan's imagined. He knelt down to Cao Mingquan as soon as he entered the door, and said in tears, "Master Cao, I, Xu, did not offend you. Why did you hurt me so much!"

Cao Mingquan was confused by him, he stepped forward to help him up and said puzzledly: "I said, what are you talking about, old Xu? We have been friends for so many years. Even if I can't help you, I can't help you anyway." Kill you!"

Xu Zongde stood up from the ground, wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "My lord, you still said that it is harmless. If you are harmless, why did you tell me about the sale of commercial rights in Korea?!"

Cao Mingquan was wronged, and said: "I, I just said that you are in business, and it is normal to tell you this kind of thing! I didn't let you fight, didn't I just persuade you to come, tell you not to Go, don't go, you have to go, and now something happened and you put a crime on me?!"

Although Xu Zongde was impulsive, he was still afraid of Cao Mingquan subconsciously, and he didn't dare to be too unreasonable to him, so he could only say unwillingly: "But the Korean man withheld my money and refused to let me enter Korea, what do you think? It's cooperating with Chen Xianglai!"

Cao Mingquan was taken aback by what he said, and said: "Impossible, Chen Xianglai will never have anything to do with the Korean embassy, ​​I think it's just a coincidence."

Xu Zongde said: "A coincidence, what a coincidence, if it is a coincidence, why did Chen Xianglai sell the family property to me, and Gaoli sold the commercial rights in the back? And after I loaned the money, the Huiyuan Bank became hers!"

Cao Mingquan said: "I am also puzzled by this matter. I heard that Huiyuan Bank was opened by a prince, how could it get into Chen Xianglai's hands?"

Xu Zongde staggered two steps, slumped on the chair like a defeated rooster, and said, "I thought so too, but Yuan Dongqi himself admitted that he would never lie about such a big matter."

After all the years of friendship, Cao Mingquan couldn't bear to look at Xu Zongde's appearance, and sighed: "Oh, I said, old Xu, you were wrong at the beginning. If you followed Chen Xianglai from the beginning and didn't engage in those tricks of stealing money, It's not going to piss her off."

At this time, Xu Zongde's mind was in a mess. How could he even think about these things? give up……"

Speaking of this, he suddenly jumped up from the chair, knelt down in front of Cao Mingquan again, and begged, "Master Cao, I beg you, please help me! As long as you come forward and say something for me, let the village girl slow down." After a while, I will definitely pay back the money!"

Usually the two of them are used to spending time together, Cao Mingquan really couldn't stand him doing this out of the blue, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what he couldn't do it for him. If there is a rift, he might offend the prince. He will not do such a stupid thing.

Thinking of this, he could only drag Xu Zongde desperately, while dragging: "Old Xu, don't do this, aren't you forcing me..."

Now, let alone forcing him, Xu Zongde almost has the heart to kill someone. If it wasn't for the fact that there was Xu Che beside Xianglai, who somehow made him the shopkeeper of Huiyuan Bank. , he will definitely have his family members rush to the street and beat Xianglai to death, so that he won't have to pay back any money.

The more he felt sorry for Cao Mingquan at this time, the more he couldn't get up, he piled his fat body on the ground and let it go lazily, saying: "Your Excellency must help me, I am relying on you now, if you don't help me I will Kneel here and can't get up!"

Cao Mingquan had a headache, and began to regret why he saw him just now when his head was hot, but now he can't help him, and it's hard to rush out. It seems that if he doesn't help him, maybe this guy is really lazy here. Walk.

In a hurry, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he bent down to discuss again: "I said, Lao Xu, you get up first, although I can't directly stand up for you, but I can help you find a way, and maybe I can help you get through this difficulty. "

Xu Zongde didn't believe him, so he knelt down on the ground and said, "What can I do? You're not lying to me, are you? Tell me first, if I see it's useful, I'll get up again, if you fool me, I'll kneel and die in your mansion .”

Cao Mingquan sucked his teeth helplessly, and said, "Okay, let me say first..."

As he spoke, he bent over and pretended to be mysterious and said to Xu Zongde: "I said that the third master of the Lian family has come to Huikang residence, do you know?"

If the people of Beiliao uttered "Lianjia" without beginning and end, they must be referring to the Lian family, the number one wealthy merchant in Beiliao.

This family has been in business for generations. At first, it was similar to Xu Zongde's family. They were not big or small businessmen, but since two generations ago, the Lian family has taken their business to other countries, so they quickly accumulated wealth, and the family rose rapidly. The current head of the family, Lian Xiu's generation, the Lian family is already the well-deserved richest man in Beiliao.

The third master Lian that Cao Mingquan was talking about was Lian Ke, the third younger brother of the current Patriarch Lian Xiu.

Hearing him talking about Lian Ke, Xu Zongde piled it on the ground and said, "So what if he comes, we only entertained him once a few years ago, and he doesn't have a place to live in Lian's house, can he get 50 taels?" Not to mention, even if there is him, it is impossible to lend it to me."

Cao Mingquan said: "Who told you to ask him to borrow money, don't forget, after all, he is the younger brother of Concubine Lian, if you can ask him to help you with a word, Chen Xianglai must give him face, as long as your If the loan repayment period is extended, you will have time to raise money."

Xu Zongde was a little tempted, and said: "But... can he help with this?"

Cao Mingquan said: "Whether you want to help or not depends on how you invite him. He will definitely not be able to show up if you go with empty words, but if you express it, then maybe, even if you have no money now, there are always some valuable things in your family. ? Find one that impresses him enough, and ask him to see it, maybe it will do.”

After hearing his words, Xu Zongde slowly got up from the ground, muttered while pondering: "Yes, this is a way, but I have to give him something..."

Cao Mingquan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had fooled him, and said: "Who knows what you have in your house, beautiful jade and coral, antique calligraphy and paintings, as long as they are precious enough."

Xu Zongde murmured to himself with his eyelids stuck, "I have all these things, I just don't know which one suits his heart... No, I have to go back and have a look."

Cao Mingquan wished him to leave quickly, so he hurriedly said, "Go back and have a look."

Saying that, he sent him out quickly.

Xu Zongde hurried home, went to the study and took out all the bottles, cans, boxes, and boxes he had collected. He found it inappropriate after looking for it, and finally took out a top-grade chicken blood seal that he had treasured for a long time , put it in the palm of his hand, weighed it, and put it back in the box cruelly, and took it to Jujinyuan Bank.
