Chapter 156: Come to collect debts
Mr. Wenjing has always known that the third uncle is. It is difficult for the third uncle to be so angry at ordinary times. If a young man can make the third uncle hate it so much, then this person must be so bad.
Unexpectedly, everything was different from what he imagined.
Then I saw this young boy wearing a silk scarf on his head, but shining like pearls and jade, step forward and saluted to his third uncle generously. When the clear eyes fell on Mr. Wenjing, Mr. Wenjing's eyes intertwined and touched him, which made Mr. Wenjing feel a little strange. This look was both clear and clear, making people feel like spring, and a kind of unique stability.
Is this person a traitor?
Ye Chunqiu smiled faintly and said, "The young student has met Mr.
Mr. Wenjing hurriedly said, "Ah, there is no need to be too polite, there is no need to be too polite."
The third uncle said with a stern face, "I asked you to come because of the examination period. The results have been released at the Gongyuan Institute. The examination period is on April 17th, and it is only half a month before the provincial examination. You must prepare early."
Ye Chunqiu said: "Thank you, my third uncle, for your advice."
"Yes." Originally, the third uncle wanted to have an attack, but Ye Chunqiu was too well-behaved and could hardly pick out the thorns. When he saw Mr. Wenjing unconsciously showing appreciation for Ye Chunqiu, he felt even more disgusted. This kid was very good at pleasing to please him. Humph, he had to teach him a lesson.
The third uncle increased his voice: "I won't care about the matter of gambling houses in the spring and autumn, but you have become a bad habit at a young age, and your clan uncle is implicated by you again. Look, look, huh, our Ye family really needs to be considered as the generation of Duke Cheng Wen, the Yuan Zu who moved south during the Song Dynasty, has been going on for more than twenty generations, and has never heard of such unworthy children. You must remember that you dare to go to and from the gambling houses in the future, or indulge in the sensuality. Even if you don't have a tutor in Hexi, my uncle will never spare you. I know that you have no hope of the imperial examination, and I am afraid that you can only stop at the student in this life, but don't harm your clan uncle. Your clan uncle studied behind closed doors for more than ten years and finally achieved success. Now is his most important moment. You must not tolerate any mistakes. Do you understand?"
Ye Chunqiu didn't say anything, just pretending that he didn't hear it.
He respects the elderly very much, so even though the old lady at home sometimes has some other thoughts, Ye Chunqiu can still express his admiration for the old lady as a grandson. Although Ye Chunqiu does not have much affection in his heart, he is still willing to please the old lady.
But this third uncle
He pursed his lips and did not argue with him immediately, but simply became a deaf person.
But this angered the third uncle. The third uncle held his staff hard and hit the ground, making a giggle sound, and blew his beard and stared, "Why, you are not convinced, you are still reasonable to bet with others? It's really a child who is not taught. How could our Ye family have someone like you? Damn it, you are so arrogant that you will definitely not repent to you."
Ye Hong also said on the side: "Chunqiu, you can't do this. My father said a few words to you, isn't it for your own good? Gambling is indeed a bad habit, just admit your mistake."
Ye Chunqiu looked at Ye Hong and smiled with a sarcastic smile.
The third uncle became popular. In front of the guest, this guy actually
Just then, a doorman stumbled in and said, "Grandmaster, great master, it's not good, no, someone outside wants to hit the generals in, saying that he wants to find the eldest master."
"" The third uncle was shocked: "What, I'm going to come in, but I don't look at what this place is? They are so brave. Come in and talk, and you want to see who is so bold, asking Ye Wu to come with the shopkeepers."
The third uncle's face was extremely bad. Ye Chunqiu had already made him very embarrassed. Now someone wants to make trouble. At least he thinks he is a decent gentleman, so how can he tolerate someone making such a fool, especially in front of Mr. Wen Jing?
Ye Hong's face suddenly pulled down, and his forehead was even covered in cold sweat.
The third uncle said coldly: "It must be Chunqiu's affairs in the gambling house. Zicheng is still too kind-hearted and shouldn't care. If someone opens a gambling house, you will make trouble all the time. If you want to pull the gambler out, it would be strange if you don't hold a grudge against you. As for Chunqiu, he is a mess of mud, so what should he do."
His words are heart-wrenching.
Mr. Wenjing, who was standing by, didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so he kept silent and couldn't speak.
Ye Chunqiu just smiled and didn't say a word.
After a while, a man came in. This man was different from everyone's thoughts. He was not big or six thick, and his face was not full of ferocious flesh. He slowly came in and bowed to everyone in a kind manner, saying, "Old Lady Ye, the student has heard of his name for a long time. When I saw him today, I didn't expect that Old Lady Ye's body was still so tough."
The third uncle just sneered, with a vulgar attitude.
The man continued, "Ah, the students are lowly people. They are not here to make friends with the Ye family today. But Wang Ji Gambling has a calculation. I thought someone would come to the gambling house, but I waited around here and there, but there was no one. The student's owner was anxious, so I asked the students to come and settle the account. In fact, this is not a lot, but only 232 taels and 7 cents. Of course, this is the amount of interest added. It may be a little difficult for others, but it is probably not difficult for the Ye family."
Two hundred and thirty-two taels and seven cents.
The faces of the people here have changed a little.
This population is said to be a small amount, but in this era, this is not a small amount. This silver is enough to support dozens of farmers in the Ye family. Moreover, the Ye family in Hangzhou is similar to the Ye family in Hexi. They all rely on land for a living. Although there are a lot of grain and there are many physical objects stored in various kinds of physical objects, such as grain, oil, mulberry and hemp, but the current silver is still more than two hundred taels, which is definitely not a small amount.
The third uncle paused for a moment and smiled. He looked at Ye Chunqiu hatefully and said to himself, Ye Chunqiu, Ye Chunqiu, you have already made a bitter fruit. There are more than 200 taels of silver, and people have already entered the door. How can you make you cheat? Can you give it? Anyway, the Ye family in Hangzhou cannot afford it for you. In Hexi, I am afraid that you can't get such a number. You should be blessed by yourself.
Besides, you are so bold that you owe more than 200 taels of gambling debts, and you are a little old age
Ye Hong, who was standing beside him, was about to faint. He couldn't help but say, "What, more than two hundred taels? Why is it so much? I remember that I only borrowed fifty taels. It's only a few days? You are too unscrupulous!"
To be continued.
