Chapter 234 Borrowing Money

Shuiyan blushed slightly because of Li Xiaoyao's words. He raised his hand and patted his forehead and smiled, "It made the fifth master laugh again. The fifth master is so anxious to let people find me. What's the emergency?" Li Xiaoyao hesitated and motioned Zhang Gouzi and others to retreat, leaving only Danyue and Haitang to wait next to him. Then he laughed and said, "I'm a big deal. I'm afraid it's nothing here. I'm going to do a few kinds of business. Now I'm short of capital and want to borrow 20,000 silver from the second master for a year, which is very profitable. I I know that the second master doesn't care about the profit, but this rule has to be done well. Li Xiaoyao did not turn around and simply said directly about borrowing money. Shuiyan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. What business is the fifth master going to do? Or the weaving workshop?"

"It's not all," Li Xiaoyao hesitated. Since he asked someone to borrow money, he should be frank about his own business: "At this time, the weaving workshop doesn't need much money, but it costs a few taels to buy a shop, and it's not much. I want to open a hook bar and make it the most skilled hook bar in the world." The folding fan in Shuiyan's hand froze in the air. He looked at Li Xiaoyao in disbelief. After a long time, he recovered his breath. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Li Xiaoyao drank tea and looked at Shuiyan. When he reacted, the folding fan in Shuiyan's hand was folded and opened again, shaking quickly, and his face smiled awkwardly and vaguely: "The Fifth Master is really ••••••••It's about 20,000 silver•••••••• This is not much money, but•••••• Fifth Master, wait, I'll go back and see if there is any money in the account. The fifth master knows that 20,000 silver is not a small amount. Fifth Master, wait for a moment, wait for a while, and I will look at the account. , let's talk about it after reading the account.

Li Xiaoyao lowered his eyes in disappointment, slowly put the cup on the side, and then raised his head. He smiled as usual, "Then please bother Master Shui. If you have extra money, you don't have to force him. Second Master Shui doesn't have to force him. Master Shui smells that Xiaoyao is in a hurry. Xiaoyao is already grateful. Xiaoyao thanked the second master first!" Li Xiaoyao said, standing up and bowing his knees to thank him. Shuiyan hurriedly stood up, bowed and bowed: "I dare not take it. This is the Fifth Master's understanding. Fifth Master Don't worry. I'll go to see it. I'll go and see it right away. I'll reply to the Fifth Master later." Li Xiaoyao smiled and bent his knees to thank him. He raised his voice and called Zhang Gouzi to come in. He sent Shuiyan to the door of the main hall and watched him go out of the second door. Then he sighed and drooped his shoulders and dragged his footsteps back to the backyard slowly.

Shuiyan is going to ask Su Zicheng for a sign. He opened the hook column by himself. Shuiyan didn't get Su Zicheng's consent and dared to borrow a taels of silver for himself. It's not about money, but about this hook. Li Xiaoyao sighed for another long time. Where else did he go to raise money? Lv Feng is not in Kaiping Mansion, and it is useless for him. Where else can he borrow money? Alas, if only there was a bank like later generations. It's really hard to beat a hero with a penny, and 20,000 silver can't defeat Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao dragged back to the half-mu garden. There were already half of the yard gifts in the yard. Li Xiaoyao stopped and bent down to stroke the brocade material of hundreds of pomegranates. If these gifts can be packaged and sold, plus his own jewelry, maybe they can sell 20,000 silver, alas! Unfortunately, I can't sell it. Even if I sell such a congratulatory gift and those pieces sent by Su Zicheng are engraved with royal jewelry, this matter has to become the biggest news in Kaiping Prefecture. If I am poor and want to sell congratulatory jewelry, who dares to do business with me? Which Kabuki dares to come to his own check box? Luo Yan said that he had a broken mouth and couldn't invite anyone!

Li Xiaoyao straightened up impatiently and stood for a long time in the middle of all kinds of big red gift boxes in the yard. Suddenly, he turned around and walked out of the yard where Mrs. Shen lived. Danyue and Haitang hurriedly followed. Li Xiaoyao did not look back, but waved his hand and ordered: "I'm going to talk to Grandma Shen. You don't have to follow her. Go ahead." Danyue and Haitang stopped. Look at me. I look at you. Danyue whispered, "M Mother has told me that we have to keep our eyes on the girl. Stay away."

"Uh-huh!" Betang hurriedly nodded and agreed. The two were far behind Li Xiaoyao and followed the door of the courtyard. Mrs. Shen was sitting on the armchair in the corridor of the east wing and pointed to cherry to do needlework. Seeing Li Xiaoyao come in, Cherry hurriedly put down the needle and thread and stood up to salute. Li Xiaoyao motioned Mrs. Shen not to get up and ordered the cherry to say, "Yes I'll bring a chair, and I'll talk to my grandmother for a while. Just go and do your work. Cherry hurried in and moved the armchair. Danyue and Haitang followed up, helped to lift Zhang Gaoji again and make tea. Li Xiaoyao looked at Danyue and Haitang bowed their heads and were busy without saying anything.

The three retreated far to the porch of the courtyard to do needle and threading. Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xiaoyao with a smile on her face and said, "I heard that you got the seal. This is a great joy. Why are you not happy?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Mrs. Shen and smiled bitterly and said, "What are you happy about? Originally, Prince Liang told me that he wanted to reward me with 10,000 taels of gold for my achievements, but now the old hen turned into a duck and became a beautiful person! What am I happy about?" Li Xiaoyao said a sentence, as if he had spit out some sulking. He angrily patted the armrest of the chair and continued, "Whish silver or seal, naturally it's up to him. You shouldn't believe it!" Luoyan's house, dog's shop, and weaving shop, want silver everywhere. If it had been sealed, I would have planned to seal it. What is this?!" Mrs. Shen was also a little stunned when she heard this. She stayed for a long time before she understood Li Xiaoyao's complaint. She also sighed, reached out and gently patted the back of Li Xiaoyao's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyao, tell your grandmother, what are you going to do about this marriage?"

"Why did grandma ask about this?" Li Xiaoyao frowned and asked back. Mrs. Shen looked at her carefully and replied in a low voice, "I have also heard some gossip these days. Is Prince Liang very good to you?"

"M Mother Zhang and Mother Lu said?" Li Xiaoyao** asked, and Mrs. Shen shook her head with a smile: "No, those two grandmothers, monkey spirits, talk without water. Only they inquire about me. I don't have the ability to hear a little gossip from their words. These little girls are still young. Grandma relies on eating a lot of salt and can still A cliché." Li Xiaoyao smiled when Mrs. Shen said. He looked at Mrs. Shen and replied bluntly, "It's not good. He wants to carry me into the house. My grandmother once told me that this is not really good! I won't be a concubine, not to mention the prince, and I won't be the emperor's concubine. Mrs. Shen sighed, raised her hand and stroked Li Xiaoyao's temples and sighed, "You child, grandma won't advise you. Good child, who wants to be a concubine? But I'm afraid of•••••”

"No one dares to marry me." Li Xiaoyao answered with a smile. Mrs. Shen nodded quickly. Li Xiaoyao gently 'hummed': "I'm not going to marry anyone, and no one deserves me!" Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xiaoyao in a stunned and suddenly smiled: "Grandma is married. It's better not to marry. The hardest and most difficult years in her life have been spent in her mother-in-law's house. She lives alone, but she is fine! It's not good to get married. I think it's better not to get married!" Li Xiaoyao sighed with approval and spread her hands and said, "Grandma, I don't enter the palace of Liang, and I don't want to marry anyone. How can this beautiful person be useful? If I am a man, if I get this title from the third grade, I can still be a wife and children of my neighbors. What else can I do besides being good-looking? If I had known this, I might as well have exchanged something for Brother and Brother Shuisheng!"

"Forget, people are under the eaves. This is not under the eaves. That's the royal family. I won't say it. Forget it. It's also a good thing to have a seal. In the future, if you go out to meet guests or something, ordinary people have to show you gifts when they see them. Please sit down. You are arrogant, isn't that right?" Li Xiaoyao was persuaded by Mrs. Shen that she couldn't laugh or cry. She had to sigh and pour a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Shen herself. The two were silent for a moment before Li Xiaoyao continued: "Well, grandma, although the courtyard is full of people, I only dare to say such a thing to my grandmother. This day is really stuffy. I just want to catch up. Make more money, buy your own yard, and use your own people to talk and act at least. You can say whatever you want and say whatever you want.

"Is the people in this yard inappropriate?" Mrs. Shen suddenly became nervous, and Li Xiaoyao quickly comforted her: "It's not appropriate. The people in my yard, from Mother Zhang, were either sent by the King Liang Mansion or the Marquis of Jingjiang Mansion. They didn't buy it myself and chose by myself." Mrs. Shen sighed, "Scare me, can you rest assured if you buy it yourself and choose it yourself? Do you know where the people you bought and picked came from? You have thought too much about this matter. I think these women in your yard are convinced of you and are willing to follow you and serve you. How can you not believe this? Li Xiaoyao's heart was slightly moved by what Mrs. Shen said. The matter of receiving the order this morning was to kill the head. Li Xiaoyao was out of his mind for a long time and suddenly asked, "What did Grandma do in Lin's mansion in those years?" Why was it sent out?"

"This is a long story." Mrs. Shen was stunned by Li Xiaoyao's question before she sighed and patted the chair andfu shou with emotion: "You have seen Mrs. Xiao like that. You have never seen Mrs. Xiao when you were young. You are not as good as her. I entered the house for the first time and saw her from afar. Mrs. Xiao's white dress is really like a fairy. Who has seen it? If you don't love it, look, the back is like that!"
