Chapter 612: Contest (2)
Thinking of the Fang family's intentions, Han Jiang's face had changed.
said that it was deliberately sabotaged this bidding, even if the powerful relied on it, the Fang family would not dare to act recklessly in the capital. However, it is not difficult to use enough cash to invest in the business of the winning bidder.
It's just that in this way, Cao Hao's side is like being slapped in the face.
Even if they don't take the path of the Internal Affairs Office, the Fang family can control the business path they want.
Although it is said that the businessman Jia Tuli, but so blatantly offended the head of the Internal Affairs Office, where did the Fang family get the courage?
Han Jiang's face was dark, he hesitated, and told the maid to tell the coachman to change the route, not to go home first, and to go directly to Cao's mansion.
Although he felt quite uncomfortable when he thought of Cao Hao's reproachful eyes yesterday, Han Jiang also knew which was more important.
Cao Hao is afraid that he has encountered a problem, and if it is not handled properly, the previous bidding will become a joke.
The two years of contact with the Cao family were the two years when Han Jiang's son lived the most comfortable life. Don't worry about the villain's decision, you don't have to deal with the greed of the clansmen.
Every day in front of the account book, thinking about the business in the shop, her life is very leisurely.
If there is anything unsatisfactory, it is that she feels that the debt is heavy.
Whether it is for the sake of her uncle Cheng Mengxing's face, or for the sake of her deceased sister's affection, Cao Hao takes good care of her.
Her surname is resolute and she is not used to soft words, but she is grateful in her heart. It's just that for a while, I don't know how to reciprocate. Because Cao Hao's eldest daughter Tianhui has bad eyes, she also made a special trip to change a lot of bright prescriptions from the south.
Knowing that Cao Hao was in trouble, she couldn't take care of her previous thoughts of getting rich, so she hurried to Cao's house.
When he arrived outside the gate of Cao's house, Han Jiang remembered that he had not brought his name post.
Usually, they all ask to see the county lord, but now it is not a matter of the shop; If you say that you want to see Cao Hao, it will be dark this day, and there is a difference between men and women.
Han Jiang was still hesitating, and the concierge of the Cao family had already recognized her carriage and came forward to inquire.
Han Jiang motioned to the maid to reply, still according to the old rules, and asked to see Chu Yu.
Menzi returned, and the eldest grandmother returned to the palace yesterday and has not come back yet.
As he spoke, he saw a few servants come out to light lanterns.
At the mouth of the alley, there was the sound of horses' hooves.
Han Jiang frowned, and sent a message to the coachman, please see Cao Hao.
The coachman stepped forward, but before he could say goodbye, several horses in the distance had already galloped in front of him.
It was Zhang Yi who was the leader, turned over and dismounted, looked at the car in front of him but was a little familiar, he couldn't bother to wipe the sweat off his head, and said loudly: "It's Grandma Han in the car?" ”
Zhang Yi is the head steward of the Cao family, and Han Jiang has also seen it, and when he heard his voice, he replied: "It is the little woman who asks to see Cao Ye for something important, and I bother Steward Zhang to tell him on my behalf." ”
"There is no need to tell Grandma Han to get off in the hospital. Our uncle just sent me to invite Grandma Han, but I was in vain, and it was cheap here. Zhang Yi said with a smile, but his heart was very strange.
Uncle and this Grandma Han, you look for me, I look for you, you won't **, make some fame, right?
When Wang Lusheng was talking to Cao Hao, he was not in front of him, and he didn't know the reason, so he couldn't help but speculate in his heart.
However, I think it's ridiculous.
I'm confused. My uncle has never been attentive to women. Not to mention this widow Han, who is tightly wrapped and speaks [***], without the charm of a woman, who would look down on such a woman?
Thinking wildly in his heart, Zhang Yi sent someone to pass the word inside, and led the coachman into the door.
"Grandma Han, there is something wrong in front of your house, it seems that many people have come to visit. I took a look and inquired, and several of them said they were old friends of my grandmother's family. There is one, I heard that it is surnamed Fang. ”
What are you really afraid of, what is coming, Han Jiang's heart couldn't help but hang.
With the strength of the Fang family, where can they get those guarantees to borrow from various banks.
Since there is no real estate or land as collateral, then you can only find someone to guarantee it.
In the business community of Beijing, when it comes to the "Nine Beizi", who is not afraid?
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom was different.
Among the businessmen in the capital, for Brother Jiu, he complimented him on his face and said that he was the "Ninth Master of the God of Wealth", but in private, some people secretly called him a Pixiu who did not eat and did not pull.
The Fang family is a friend of the Jiang family, and there was also cooperation in buying and selling in the early years.
However, Rao is like this, before the Han Jiang clan began to think about lending, they didn't think about their family, just because their family backer is Jiubeizi Mansion.
Although the Han Jiang clan is not a slave of the Cao family, they share weal and woe.
The filth between Brother Jiu and Cao Hao, Han Jiang has listened to several versions, and he doesn't know which one is true and which one is false.
Even as a partner of the Cao family, she still doesn't want to have anything to do with Brother Jiu.
If the Fang family holds Bei Ziye's handbook, is the silver borrowed, not borrowed?
Thinking of this, Han Jiang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, glad that he didn't go back immediately.
The carriage was parked, Han Jiang got out of the carriage, and Zhang Yi led her to the side hall to wait.
Cao Hao went back to Wutong Garden to freshen up, got the news, and came to the front yard to meet the guests.
The number of times the two of them saw each other alone was already enough, let alone at night.
There were several lights lit in the side hall, and Han Jiang only felt sweat oozing from his forehead.
In the house, in addition to Cao Hao and Han Jiang's family, only the maid Xiaofu who was standing behind Han Jiang's family.
"The little woman has seen Cao Ye." Han Jiang got up, blessed his body, and said.
"No need to be polite, sit down. I'm looking for you. Cao Hao remembered what Wang Lusheng said about Han Jiang's desire to lend money, and couldn't help frowning: "What the hell is going on, do you still want to go back to your old business?" Have you forgotten what I told you before? The dozens of innocent and tragic deaths still can't wake you up? ”
The more he talked, the more annoyed he became, Cao Hao thought of the people who died in vain, and he really couldn't feel pity for the person in front of him.
The target of those people may not be Han Jiang's family, most of them are drunkards, and they don't mean to drink. However, it was also a lesson, allowing the Han Jiang clan to know how deep the water in the capital was.
I thought she was a smart person, when she knew the severity, this was the only time we worked hard, and the scar forgot the pain.
When Han Jiang heard this, his face turned pale.
Thinking of that night in the water, her eyes were a little more afraid.
She stabilized her mind and didn't make any excuses, but told the Fang family about the withdrawal of a large amount of silver from the money bank.
Cao Hao is not a fool, so naturally when he hears it, he will know what his intentions are.
But it was unexpectedly tight, I really didn't expect them to use this experience. It is both unexpected and reasonable.
The original anger was gradually subsided. Cao Hao pondered for a moment and asked, "How much money do you have around you?" ”
"There was not much silver, less than 30,000 taels, but some gold, almost a hundred thousand taels. There are more than a thousand habits of money. Han Jiang replied.
Although she knew that Han Jiang's family was rich, she didn't expect that she had these cash silver by her side, Cao Hao was a little surprised: "Didn't you hear that you bought a property in Yangzhou?" It seems that I also bought two Zhuangzi or something in Shunyi. ”
Han Jiang nodded and replied: "It was my father's teaching before his death, saying that when we buy and sell people like this, it is important to make money, and we must also buy some land and real estate, just in case." In that case, even if the business is at a loss and there is no return, you will not go hungry. ”
One tael of gold, ten taels of silver.
Han Jiang has a million taels around her, and she can't complain that she is tempted by bidding.
If you're lucky, or if you raise some money, you can win a trade route.
"A million taels of silver, it's too eye-catching. You can understand that you want to make money, but this kind of thing is not easy to mix. Cao Hao looked at Han Jiang and said: "Money is all external things, you are a woman, it is not easy to gain a foothold in this world, if there is more silver, it is not silver, it is the root of the disaster." ”
Han Jiang's thought of the Fang family and the Ninth Elder Brother behind him, and he was already a little scared in his heart.
"Thank you Cao Ye for your teachings, the little woman wrote it down. It's just that he was greedy for a while, so he was so reckless, and he didn't know anything in the end. She whispered, a little more self-loathing in her tone.
Seeing that she was so annoyed, Cao Hao originally wanted to reprimand two more sentences, but she couldn't say anything.
"Master Cao, the matter of bidding, look at how much the bidding is up. Is the balance that needs to be made up not small? If Cao Ye doesn't dislike it, the little woman's silver money, Cao Ye will use it first? Han Jiang thought for a moment and said.
Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "It's not good to pass through my hands." Now there are many people staring at me. This is not good, but you have already let out the rumors, and I am afraid that the people who borrow money from Ming'er will flock to it. It is only appropriate to find a home, so that others will not have to worry about it. ”
"The Wang family, just the Wang family. Wang Lusheng was also about to look for you and talk about this silver. Cao Hao thought for a while and said.
"The right to listen to Cao Ye's arrangement." When Han Jiang heard this, his heart was a little calm.
Even if there is money from Han Jiang's side, it will be a problem if the silver for the final payment of the bidding is insufficient.
If it wasn't Brother Jiu standing behind the Fang family, Cao Hao couldn't say that he would have to admire them. Able to come up with this excerpt, after losing the auction, use the silver to control the business.
However, they should know that these transactions and procedures are all issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
offended Cao Hao, they are not afraid of being put in small shoes?
Or is one of the two Ma Qi and He Yi who can speak for Brother Jiu?
Although Ma Qi is a hardcore Eight Masters, he cherishes his feathers very much and does not deal with those corrupt officials. He Yi is famous for his uprightness, and he can't rub sand in his eyes, how can he be willing to be the minions of Brother Jiu?
I heard that Dong Dianbang in the Shen Xing Lang was going to be promoted to the head of the Internal Affairs Office.
Could it be that he is the spokesperson of Brother Jiu, Cao Hao thought of this, thinking about the Dong family Suxin who is still in the mansion, and felt that in the dark, there seemed to be something unfathomable.
Han Jiangshi saw that Cao Hao didn't squeak, and it was not easy to speak first, and looked out the window, but it was already dark.
Although Cao Hao looked at a righteous man and a gentleman, there was no rudeness, but in the end, there was a difference between men and women, and it was not good to say too late. Therefore, Han Jiang got up and said goodbye.
"Wait, you can't go back." Cao Hao has always acted cautiously, and when he thought of a possibility, he opened his mouth to stay with Han Jiang.
Han Jiang's family was particularly puzzled, Cao Hao hesitated for a moment, and asked: "The head of the Fang family personally came to your house to wait for a long time, if it is to borrow silver, it is good to say, if it is something else, it is embarrassing." You'd better avoid it. Neiko is in the palace province, I will send you to her side, wait a few days to see the rumors. ”
Cao Hao said vaguely, but Han Jiang was a smart person, he was a little transparent, his face was flushed, he clenched his wrist hard, and said in a low voice: "This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, are there still people lawless?" ”
"Have you, haven't you seen it? Last time, it was just a yellow belt, so I dared to bring someone to the door; If you change to the prince's brother, I'm afraid that a post will come to the door, and it's not something you can stand it? Cao Hao thought about Brother Jiu's greed and glanced at Han Jiang's clan.
Fortunately, she behaves in a proper manner and rarely shows her head in front of people.
Except for people she knows, she is all masked in Tsing Yi, and there are a lot of disasters.
Otherwise, if you don't mention the silver, just this face will also arouse the hearts of other men.
Han Jiang's face faded with shyness, and the rest was pale.
In the end, she is a woman, and this posture is completely different from the image of an ordinary strong woman.
Cao Hao sighed in his heart and said, "Don't worry too much, follow Neizi, Brother Jiu won't go to his niece to rob someone." ”
"How can a little woman go to the palace?" Han Jiang hesitated.
"At this time, what are you still paying attention to? Neiko has always been with you, and she will be happy to see you pass. Cao Hao said.
Han Jiang didn't say much, Cao Hao remembered that he hadn't seen his wife and daughter for two days, and he missed a little in his heart.
But there are many people, if you really go with the Han Jiang clan, there will be some gossip if you can't keep it all in the future.
So, he ordered Zhang Yi to bring a few more guards and send the Han Jiang clan to the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion.
But it is to sail carefully for ten thousand years.
The rest is a matter of the hundreds of taels of silver.
Cao Hao didn't go back to the inner courtyard immediately, his mind was full of these questions.
Presumably, those businessmen will know that the money in the money bank has been emptied, and there is nowhere to borrow money.
* Jiubeizi House, front hall.
Brother Jiu crossed Erlang's legs, rubbed the teacup, and looked at the man opposite: "How?" Can you do it? ”
The person on the other side was not tall, in his fifties, and he looked very capable, and replied cautiously: "Little Lao'er waited for a long time, but he didn't see Han Jiang's family go back." Ming'er and the old man went over again to spread the word for the ninth master. ”
"Didn't go back?" Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Didn't you hear that she was a serious woman, why didn't you go back at this hour?" But if you have to inquire and understand, you have worn any hat, and you have never worn a green hat. Don't come back with broken shoes, make me disgusted. ”
Listening to Brother Jiu's mean words, the old man said: "Don't worry, the little old man doesn't dare to lie." This Han Jiang family has a very good family education, a decent family style, and his father also had some friendship with Xiao Lao'er before his death, so Xiao Lao'er knows. ”
Brother Jiu hesitated, called a steward over, whispered a few words, and sent it away.
"Alright, you and your boy have also been busy all day, sit down and rest." Brother Jiu pointed to the chair and said to the old man.
The old man sat carefully, with a smiling face and flattery.
Brother Jiu was absent-minded, and he talked about idle articles without a word...... * Dongjiang Rice Lane, Chunjun Wangfu, Inner House.
Chu Yu took her daughter and lived in the courtyard before she left the pavilion. Tianhui had already slept, Chu Yu changed into big clothes, wore a shirt, and whispered to Ergege and Wugege.
Ergege has been engaged for a long time, and it was supposed to be last year's wedding, but because the other party's family encountered a white affair and needed to keep filial piety, the marriage date was delayed.
Ergege is happy to marry late, and Wugege has always adhered to her sister, and she doesn't want her to go out.
Hearing that Cao Fu sent someone over, Chu Yu was very surprised......
