Chapter 393 Borrowing Money
Regarding Nanmen Huo Xin's request, Wang Quanquan naturally had nothing to doubt. If he was not desperate, the other party would not come to him for help. After thinking for a while, Wang Quanquan said:

"I don't know how much silver taels the young master Nanmen needs?"

The phrase "Young Master of the South Gate" immediately opened up the distance between the two of them. How could Huo Xin of the South Gate not know what it meant? This has always been the case in this world. When it comes to borrowing money, the group of guys who usually call themselves brothers and sisters hide far away. Well, today he has had more than one bad nose, if he hadn't really had no choice, he would not have come to the Prince's Mansion.

Nanmen Huo's confidence was bitter, but he still arched his hands and said:

"To tell you the truth, Fengyue Tower asked for 50 taels. After running around for a whole day, I only managed to get 10,000+ taels. Including part of Sanniang's savings, there is still a shortfall of 30 taels."

Wang Gangquan touched his chin when he heard the words, and said with a look of distress:
"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. To tell the truth, the palace is run by a princess, and this king is also subject to restrictions. Even if I use the ones I have privately stored, I can only give you 10 taels at most."

……

Although there is still a lot of gap between this number and Nanmen Huo Xin's psychological expectation, it is better than nothing.Compared with the other "friends" who often spend time and wine together, when it comes to borrowing money, they find excuses to escape, and give out thousands of taels like beggars, the prince in front of him who only has a few encounters is also considered a shot Generous.

Thinking of this, Nanmen Huo Xin arched his hands and said:
"Thanks to the lord in advance, the lord's kindness, the south gate can't be repaid by being a cow or a horse."

Wang Gangquan patted the opponent on the shoulder and said:
"It's a shame to say these things. Brother, it's better than anything else that you can live a good life. Now that you have Gu Huakui, don't do such troublesome things in the future."

"Definitely." Nanmen Huo Xin promised, "San Niang is the most gentle and intelligent woman I have ever met in my life. If she only lives in a brothel, it is true that she has been wronged."

"So, you've already..."

Wang Gingquan stopped pointing, raised his eyebrows, and gave the other party a look that any man could understand.

Nanmen Huo Xin shook his head with a smile, and said freely:
"For Sanniang, Nanmen doesn't have the same obscene thoughts as facing other prostitutes. I just want to have a serious case with her and sit down and talk heart-to-heart. As for that kind of thing, let's wait until we go through the door."

"Haha, good, good!" Wang Gingquan couldn't help laughing, "Outsiders say that Nanmen Huo Xin is a sex-hungry person, but they don't know that his brother has such a true temperament. Wang hereby wishes Nanmen brother Huo Xin a hug. If you get a beautiful woman, you wait here first, and this king will go to get the silver right now."

"Thank you, my lord."

……

After a while, Wang Gingquan sneaked out with a bag, and after making sure that no one was around, he handed it to the other party and whispered:
"This is all the king's belongings. Brother Nanmen, remember not to reveal the wealth on the way back. Although the capital is at the foot of the emperor, if it is not kept, there will be those thieves who are not open. It is okay to rob the money. If you accidentally hurt Nanmen Young master's life, then Gu Huakui will be able to wash her face in tears from now on."

"Thank you, my lord, for reminding me, I know."

After Wang Gangquan turned around and left, Nanmen Huo Xin, who was a little more relaxed in his heart, opened the bag, and all kinds of banknotes of different sizes and denominations came into view. Besides, there were a lot of scattered silver, the most outrageous It was he who actually found a few hanging copper coins inside.

Seeing this, Nanmen Huo Xin couldn't help but feel emotional, it seems that the prince really gave him all his belongings, it's a pity that he regarded the other party as a stingy person just now, it seems that he is narrow-minded.

Nanmen Huo Xin packed his bags, bowed seriously to the gate of the palace, then turned and left.

----

The Ru'an mansion has been raining continuously for the past few days, and the spring rain is as expensive as oil, which is a very good thing for the common people.

On the streets in the early morning, there are few pedestrians, and it has been rainy for days, and even the dogs are reluctant to come out of their dens, let alone those people who can still live in the city.

Even if many people go to the street, they will plunge into the bustling teahouses and restaurants, or spend a few coins to listen to some old stories told by Mr. Shu, or order a plate of peanuts and a pot of hot wine to savor. How comfortable it is.

As for those who run around in the rain without even holding an umbrella, most of them are hard-working porters who have no house or land in the city. If they don’t start work for two days, they will starve, and if they don’t start work for three days, they may not even have a place to live.

In addition, there are some peddlers who earn hard money, living a tight life, not much better than those porters, but fortunately they have a place to live, and they make a living by selling cheap meals that the rich don't look down on.

This kind of weather is most suitable for the rich man to watch the poor people running around for a living.

……

In front of a morning stall in the west of the city, a man and a woman holding umbrellas came.

The man looks ordinary, but he is elegantly dressed and has a good temperament. No matter how you look at it, he is the son of a wealthy family. As for the handsome woman next to him, she is undoubtedly a lady from a famous family. Umbrellas are particularly eye-catching in this rainy day.

The paper umbrellas are first-rate in painting. The surface is covered with high-quality tung oil and lint paper. Even the umbrella handle is carved and inlaid with turquoise. This umbrella alone is enough for the hawker to work for half a year.

The man and woman came to stand in front of the booth, and the hawker recognized them at a glance, and greeted them warmly:
"Hey, Young Master Shen, Miss Li, what do you want to eat today?"

"As usual." The man said with a smile.

"Okay, you two wait a moment."

As the peddler said, he lifted the lid of the pot, and immediately the hot air wafted out with the aroma of the porridge, and the two found a nearby seat to sit down.

The two sat down, and the woman put away the paper umbrella. She was born in Jiangdong, and she could be regarded as a standard Xiaojiabiyu, but since the family wanted her to marry into a famous family from the very beginning, she was treated with the words and deeds of a rich woman on weekdays. training.

Li Mizhen was also up to the challenge, with small brows and plain eyes, she finally gave birth to an appearance that could marry into a noble family, which also made her status in the family climb from the original "third-rank retired official's maidservant" to "second-rank in power" Concubine of an official".

Although the family of the Li family was not as good as the Shen family, they did not think about marrying Li Mizhen to the talented Shen who was both a childhood sweetheart and just in his prime. The so-called gifted man and beautiful woman are not suitable for a famous family or a small one.

Fortunately, Shen Dacai was good enough to make progress. Not only did he hold on to the thigh of the current prince, but he even won three yuan and became the champion of Jinke, and then became a fifth-rank doctor. This made the Li family turn a blind eye to Li Mizhen's sneaking into Beijing Close one eye.

……

The woman stared blankly at the paper umbrella she bought for tens of taels of silver a few days ago, and kept silent.Even if a man is talented, he can't figure out a woman's delicate thoughts, so he asked:

"What are you thinking about?"

The woman came back to her senses when she heard the words, smiled sweetly and said:

"I'm wondering if Jiangdong's peach blossoms are blooming now."

"It's not even March yet."

"I know, but I'm just impatient."

Shen Qianqiu heard the unusual meaning in the other party's words, and tentatively said:
"Actually, you can see the peach blossoms in Zhongzhou as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the woman turn her head to look at him, and said seriously:
"No, Jiangdong's is the best."
