surnamed Wang

Chapter 409
The Nanmen family has had a lot of happy events these past few days. First, several generals on the northern front were transferred for defense, leaving a seat for a lieutenant.

Although he only changed from being in charge of a thousand people to being in charge of 3000 people, and his military rank was only promoted by half a rank, as long as he became a school lieutenant, he could be called a general outside, no matter how many people he had in his hands.

For example, Wang San, the gatekeeper school captain with four hundred guards in his hand, although he only has a sixth-rank official position, he likes to pretend to be a general in the public. , but it cannot be said to be transgressing the rules.

Nanmen Fuping can become the No. 1 choice for this position, and naturally the family will manage and operate in the back. Regarding this matter that is basically sure, the Nanmen family's reaction is also flat.

Compared with Nanmen Fuping, who spent a lot of material and financial resources of the family to get to the top position, his mother-in-law Nanmen Fubu will be more competitive. Not long ago, he was favored by His Majesty and called to the palace to talk for an afternoon. Asked a lot of things about politics, this talented man from the Nanmen family answered all the questions fluently, with unique and unconventional insights.

It is a well-known fact that the kings of all dynasties valued literature and suppressed martial arts. Even General Zhenyuan could not escape the fate of killing all his bows, let alone other generals.

On weekdays, no matter how much the Holy Majesty rectified the corrupt officials, the civil and military disputes in the court still favored the civil officials, which also made the Nanmen family pay special attention to the training of Nanmen Fubu.

Nanmen Fubu being favored by the emperor has given the family a lot of peace of mind. After all, unlike military officials who rely on their military exploits, civil servants seem to have a peaceful and peaceful journey, but in fact their journey is full of thorns. Some people may not be able to succeed in life.

If a civil official wants to gain a foothold in the court, strength and luck are indispensable. Fortunately, the Patriarch of the South Gate has the foresight and has spent more than ten years paving the way before coming to the capital, which makes the official career of the younger generation of the family relatively open.

Nanmen Hong's original intention was to hope that his son would become an official, but luckily, Nanmen Huo Xin's qualifications were mediocre, but in the end, all the preparations made wedding dresses for the children of Nanmen Yan.

Fortunately, Nanmenhong is not a narrow-minded person. In addition, as the head of the family, he has the overall situation in mind. His son can't be counted on, so it's better to be a favor and help other younger generations in the clan.

Even if the son doesn't make a name for himself in the future, and he lives in the clan and waits to die, outsiders can't tell what's wrong. Being a father is considered well-intentioned.

……

As for the last happy event, it has something to do with Nanmenhong's disappointing son.

Ever since Nanmen Huo Xin made up his mind to stay with Gu Huakui of Fengyuelou, he has tried his best to borrow money everywhere. 50 taels seems to be a huge amount, but it is nothing to put it in the capital city full of dignitaries. .

With Gu Sanniang's appearance, not to mention 50 taels, even 500 million taels will be rushed to pay for it, but no one dares to commit crimes at this crucial point of strictly investigating corrupt officials.

Nanmen Huo Xin knew that he had picked up a big deal, and Gu Huakui's frown and smile were really on his heart, so he didn't care much about it.After so many days, he borrowed from everyone, but there was still a shortfall of 10,000+ taels. After thinking twice, Mr. Nanda finally entered the underground bank.

……

"Hey, rare guest, isn't this Young Master Nanmen?"

As soon as Huo Xin from the south gate stepped into the gate of the bank, a clerk immediately greeted him.

"You know me?" Nanmen Huo Xin showed doubts.

"Master Nanmen's name is as loud as thunder, and no one in the rich circle of the capital knows it? What's the matter, son, is there a shortage of money to spend?"

The clerk smiled all over his face. There are too many nobles who come here on weekdays. If he meets three or five someday, he will not be surprised for a long time. And Qianzhuang likes to do business with these officials' children the most. Have fun and have fun, there is no need to be afraid of their repudiation.

Even if some people can't turn around for a while, as long as they come to the door with an IOU, the elders who know the virtues of their children and grandchildren will pay back their principal and interest. oppressive.

……

Of course, Nanmen Huo Xin knew that the other party's "thunder-like piercing ears" was not a good reputation, but now that he is asking for a loan, he has no temper at all, and he can't lose his temper, so he laughed dryly and said:

"Money is really tight recently. I heard Mr. Qian said that your interest rate is fair, so come and have a look."

The buddy was stunned when he heard the words, patted his chest and said:
"Young Master Nanmen, you can ask the whole capital, there is no interest rate lower than ours."

It seemed that he was afraid that the other party would run away. After finishing speaking, the buddy quickly continued:

"In your capacity as the eldest son of the South Gate, the younger one will make a personal claim. You won't be charged interest for less than 3000 taels. You can use it anyway, and you can pay it back when you have more money."

The man's words were sincere enough, and Nanmen Huo Xin, who was on guard, felt relieved when he heard the words. He shook his head with a smile and said:

"I won't embarrass my little brother, as much as it should be, and 3000 taels is really not enough."

"How much do you want to borrow, son?"

"18 taels." Nanmen Huo Xin said the number hesitantly, and then added: "If there are not so many 15 taels, it's fine."

The clerk waved his hand quickly when he heard the words, "How dare the owner of the bank say that he has no money? You sit down first, and I will arrange it right away."

After finishing speaking, the clerk ran away without a trace, for fear that he was too slow to lose this big customer.

……

Nanmen Huo Xin randomly found a table and sat down. There was a newly made tea on the table. He was not polite, poured himself a cup, took a sip, and found out that a catty would cost dozens of taels of silver. The best Tieguanyin.

It seems that this bank is indeed just like what my drinking and meat friend said, it only deals with the business of the dudes in the capital.

Not long after, the clerk came over with a tray. On the tray was a stack of banknotes neatly stacked, and beside the banknotes was a document written on high-quality rice paper.

"Young Master Nanmen, I have kept you waiting for a long time. You can count the bank notes. If there is no problem, please sign."

As the clerk said, he handed over a stack of bank notes, and Nanmen Huo Xin took them and counted them. There were 36 notes in total, and each note was worth 5000 taels.

After checking that there was no problem, Nanmen Huo Xin directly signed the IOU.

"Master Nanmen is really happy."

The guy made a big order, his eyes were so happy that he squinted, and he nodded and bowed to send the God of Wealth away.

……

After Nanmen Huo Xin left the bank, a figure came out from the back room. The person was wearing an indigo embroidered gown with a unicorn jade pendant around his waist. When the clerk saw him, he immediately presented the IOU and bowed:

"Son, it's all done."

The man took the rice paper, stretched out his hand and flicked the name of Nanmen Huo Xin and said:
"If you don't eat a toast and eat fine wine, but still want to marry Gu Huakui, it's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

"Young master is right." The man quickly echoed.

The man put the IOU into his arms, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Is he a good-for-nothing worthy of robbing this young master of a woman? Let him be happy for a few days first, and then go to Fengyue Tower to ask for the debt."

"Second Young Master Ji, don't worry."

The person who came was Ji Qilin, the son of the Ji family who had a dispute with Huo Xin of the Nanmen in Fengyue Building that day.
