Fang's eyes darkened, and she couldn't help but glared at Zhong Huan quietly, only to think that she was more than successful, and she was still thinking about drinking tea just now.

Fang Shi froze the topic back, "When she is nervous, she likes to drink tea. No matter how good tea is with her, it is a waste. There is no need to pack tea for her."

I thought Zhong Li would politely ask her why she was nervous, but she was surprised and said, "Cousin still has this habit? Did she develop it after she got married?"

Fang Shi couldn't accept this, she smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help but wipe away her tears, "Hey, it was indeed developed later. If you don't marry well, it's better not to marry."

Zhong Huan was clever for a moment, and then continued crying: "After I got married, I had a really hard time. After my husband fell off the list, I spent a lot of money on drinking to relieve my sorrows, and I was drawn into gambling again. Fang, he lost 10,000 taels of silver all at once. He said that if he didn’t pay it back today, he would cut off his right hand. I really don’t know what to do. I heard from my mother that you might have money, so I took the liberty to ask my cousin here. My cousin must have Just help me."

Qiuyue and Xia He glanced at each other, with a hint of unhappiness in their eyes. They had never seen a married woman, and they asked a woman who had not left the cabinet to borrow money. They said that they would borrow money. back.

Zhong Li said sincerely: "I had 20,000 taels of silver notes here some time ago. If my cousin came a few days earlier, I would definitely borrow it from you. Now I have opened four Fuyou Halls, which will be spent just by buying the land deed. I have 10,000 taels and more than 200 children. I am asking the master and making clothes for them. The expenses are also very high. There are only a few thousand taels left, and I will take the news of Xue Shenyi Now, I want to treat Cheng'er, but I'm afraid I will disappoint my cousin."

Before Zhong Huan could answer, Zhong Li said warmly: "As far as I know, when my cousin got married, didn't she have a dowry of 5,000 taels? When she saw her cousin during the New Year, she also said that she had 10 taels of moon silver every month. Living very comfortably, the five thousand taels of dowry are gone?"

Zhong Huan loves to show off. During the Chinese New Year, she really showed off in front of Zhong Li. She was not shameless, and her face was flushed with shame at the moment.

Zhong Li didn't believe it at all. She couldn't take out the money, and Fang Shi, all these years, she couldn't get in, so why did she have to save a few thousand taels?

Zhong Li sighed and said to Zhong Huan: "Brother-in-law too, you are such a grown-up, and you even run to gamble, this time it's 10,000 taels, next time it's 20,000 taels, and next time it's 50,000 taels, but what is it? How many people went bankrupt because of gambling, cousin should really take care of him, if you can't take care of him, don't you have a mother-in-law? Your mother-in-law can't ignore him, right?"

Her attitude clearly did not intend to borrow it.

Fang Shi never expected that she would be so stubborn, and what about Fuyoutang, what she said was true, her face flushed red, after all, she was embarrassed and said: "If you have no money, then No matter what, let's think about it."

After speaking, she pulled Zhong Huan and left.

Zhong Huan's face was also ugly, and when he left, he couldn't help but muttered to himself, "Stingy, what the hell."

Even if he didn't hear it, Zhong Li knew it wasn't a good word.

After they left, Qiuyue hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's all bad for slaves, and my cousin was tempted to gamble. Gu Zhiya must have found someone to do it, and it was the slaves who were oversighted. Staring at the servant girl and uncle of Zhenbei Hou's mansion, forgetting to let people look at Miss Biao and Uncle Biao."

Zhong Li helped her up, "You can't blame you, he entered the casino because he didn't live up to his expectations, and now it's only 10,000 taels. If you pay him back the money easily, next time you'll just be afraid to gamble. More, it should have given him a memory."

Qiuyue said worriedly: "When my uncle and wife left, her face was so ugly, she must have hated you, and she might speak ill of you in front of my uncle."

Although my uncle was taciturn, he treated his mother and her very well. At the beginning, his mother was afraid that he would always be caught in the middle, so she chose the second marriage.

Zhong Li didn't want it, because this matter created a rift with his uncle.

She thought for a while, took five thousand taels of silver notes, and said to Qiuyue: "In another three hours, you can go to Zhongfu to guard, and when uncle comes back, you can hand over the banknotes directly to him outside the house, and say When my aunt and cousin asked me to borrow money, because of the opening of Fuyoutang, I happened to spend all the money on hand and couldn't get it out for a while. They were a little unhappy, and they said goodbye before they finished. The five thousand taels were I just sold the money from the shop and let him pass it on to my aunt, and the remaining five thousand taels, tell him, I will think of something."

The uncle is just right, standing upright, how can he accept her money.

Qiuyue's eyes lit up, "Master is wise."

If necessary, Zhong Li doesn't want this either. If she really waits for her money to save her life, she doesn't mind giving it to them, but Fang's mother and daughter are full of careful thoughts.

If they were asked to pay by themselves, they may not be able to take out the money. She borrowed this time, and there will definitely be another time. According to their mentality, they may not be able to pay it back. Several blessing halls.

When she returned to the backyard, Pei Xing was looking through her ledger. The man was leaning lazily on the couch. The snow-white shirt was loose. The socks on his feet didn't know when he took it off. Not seeing.

Seeing her figure, Pei Xingcai dropped the miscellaneous notes in his hand, "Why did you go for so long?"

He opened his mouth to complain, and his eyebrows were also unhappy.

Zhong Li really wanted to ask him, is there so much free time, where is it bad to go, and why did you come here? Considering that he would ascend to the throne, it would be a shame to offend people. After all, her tone softened, "Should I press my third uncle on the shoulder?"

Pei Xing raised his eyebrows, "No need, put on your hat and I'll take you out."

As he spoke, he ordered, "Get me a new pair of socks."

Zhong Li's heart was instantly lifted. His clothes, shoes and socks are all available here. While looking for socks for him, Zhong Li tentatively asked, "Where does the third uncle want to take me?"

"I've been bored in the house, aren't you bored? Go out for a walk."

Zhong Li didn't dare to go out with him. There were people coming and going on the street. What if he was seen by others?Zhong Li blinked, "Where does the third uncle want to go?"
