The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 86 Pay off gambling debts

The sun at noon made Zheng Pin sweat hot all over, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with an embarrassed expression.

It's not that he wants to default on his debt, it's because his father doesn't allow him to get involved in the Gao and Yang family's troubles.

5000 taels was not much for the Zheng family, but it had to be spent from the accountant's bank room. However, his mother held the key to the accountant's bank room, and his father gave his mother an order not to spend the 5000 taels.

What Zheng Tongen meant was that the kindness of saving a life should be repaid with the kindness of saving a life. A mere 5000 taels would be an unkindness to this kindness. When Qin Ruizhi has a life-or-death incident in the future, the Zheng family will definitely help her.

"I……"

Zheng Pin blushed and was speechless for a moment.

Qin Ruizhi finally understood and said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng really intends to go back on his word?"

Zheng Pin waved his hands repeatedly, "Of course not. The life-saving grace is greater than heaven, how can it be offset by a mere 5000 taels of mundane things."

Qin Ruizhi frowned: "Still don't want to give it?"

"It's not that I won't give it..."

Zheng Pin became anxious, the sweat on his forehead started to break out faster, and even his temples were wet. He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and calmed down: "Miss Qin, wait, I'll go see my mother."

Then, he hurried away.

When I went to the backyard and saw my mother, I knelt down with a bang, held my mother's knees and started crying:
"Mother, I came all the way back from Xiangzhou and narrowly escaped death. Thanks to Miss Qin's generous escort and rescued me from difficulties several times. She only respected her elders and couldn't bear the Gao family's face being humiliated by a junior, so she wanted to use the grace of saving her life to offset the loss of her five sons. Thousands of silver coins. I have promised her, but if I go back on my promise, won’t all my books for so many years be read into the dog’s belly?”

In order to ask for money, Zheng Pin did not hesitate to depreciate himself, pretend to be pitiful, and act coquettishly: "Mom, just take pity on me and give me 5000 taels to repay Miss Qin for saving her life."

Mrs. Zheng and Zhou gave birth to their youngest son in their forties, and they were usually very pampered.

When the war broke out in Xiangzhou, Mrs. Zhou heard that Zheng Pin was trapped in Xiangzhou and almost cried to death. She relied on decoctions to get through that period. It was only after her son returned safely that he really came back to life.

My son's savior should be thanked with generous gifts.

but……

Mrs. Zhou was also afraid of her husband and was in a dilemma, "Your father has said that you are not allowed to get involved in the affairs of the Gao family and the Yang family. If this girl just asks for 5000 taels, the Zheng family will give it to her immediately." But she wanted it because she wanted to pay off the gambling debts of the Yang family's children, and she wanted to use the Zheng family's money to pay off the Yang family's debts to cause trouble."

"Mother, you are worrying too much." Zheng Pin took his mother's hand, "If you don't tell me, and I won't tell you, who knows it's the Zheng family's money."

How could he not know that Zheng Pin complied with Qin Ruizhi's request in front of Yang Mengzhang.

Just as Zhou was about to refute, Zheng Pin said again: "I agreed in front of Yang Mengzhang, but after so many days, the Yang family has not seen the Zheng family give the money in person. Why do they think it was given by the Zheng family?" Silver. Mother, give me 5000 taels quietly without telling anyone, otherwise my reputation as ungrateful will spread and I won’t be able to gain a foothold in Kyoto. Mother... mother..."

After all, Mrs. Zhou doted on her son. After hearing this, the mother's heart softened and she paid 5000 taels from her private account.

In order to avoid being noticed, the business notes issued were from Guanglitong Trading Company, which had just been established in Kyoto. With a thin piece of paper, the same amount of silver could be exchanged at the store.Zheng Pin handed the banknote to Qin Ruizhi. Regardless of the sweat stains on his face, he stuffed the banknote into Qin Ruizhi's hand, "Here, Miss Qin, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. There is no reason to go back on your promise."

Qin Ruizhi turned over the banknotes again and again, and asked in surprise: "Guanglitong's commercial tickets? Guanglitong was established in Kyoto?"

Zheng Pin nodded, "Ang, we just opened the door to welcome guests two days ago, and many dignitaries were invited. Many princes and nobles also came, and they exchanged several hundred thousand taels of silver in one day. My mother looked strange, so she asked her to I went to cash in 10 taels of notes, no, this just came in handy."

That’s how it happened?
By working as a lackey for Prime Minister Su's in-laws, Pei Xingheng actually succeeded in following Prime Minister Su's path?

This... is incredible.

Qin Ruizhi twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and collected the business ticket without leaving a trace. Then she said goodbye to Zheng Pin and hurried to Guanglitong Trading Company.

There were too many commercial bills to repay the debt, so I had to convert the banknotes into pieces of silver and send them to the Duke of Rongguo's mansion with gongs and drums.

Guanglitong store is located in Yuguifang, Dongcheng District. Due to the great momentum of its opening, almost everyone in Kyoto knows about it. If you ask anyone casually, you will know the location of Guanglitong.

Qin Ruizhi quickly found Guanglitong Trading Company, suddenly changed her mind, exchanged all the 5000 taels of silver notes for the usual copper coins, packed two large boxes, and hired someone to deliver them to the door of Rongguo Duke's mansion.

The Rongguo Duke's Mansion is extremely prominent. The plaque on the gate alone is as large as an ordinary house, not to mention the interior layout, which is more like a garden and is even larger than Prime Minister Su's Mansion.

Qin Ruizhi had no intention of enjoying the scenery, so he ordered people to move the box containing copper coins to the ground, gave them a reward and asked them to leave quickly. When he saw them walking away, he took out the copper gong he had just bought and banged it at the door of Rongguo Duke's Mansion. There was a loud bang.

After five or six sounds, the door of Duke Rongguo's residence opened, and several people poured out of it. They looked fierce and shouted: "Who dares to make noise at the gate of Duke Rongguo's residence?"

Qin Ruizhi knocked twice more in front of these people, and then responded with a smile: "Qin Ruizhi came to pay off the gambling debt of the second young master of the Yang family on behalf of his brother Qin Qingyue, and asked the second young master of the Yang family to come out and collect the debt."

After saying that, he started banging again.

The guard of Duke Rongguo's Mansion said some more words, which were completely drowned in the harsh sound of gongs and drums.

The palace guard had no choice but to reply to the report.

After a while, Yang Mengzhang came out. When he saw Qin Ruizhi's movement, he was so angry that he grabbed the gong and threw it to the ground. He scolded, "Are you sick? If you are sick, go home and get treatment." I'm sick, don't act wild in front of the Rongguo Duke's mansion."

Qin Ruizhi held her mouth shut, bent down to pick up the gong, and held it in her hand without knocking it. She raised her head and looked aggrieved, "I'm here to pay off my brother's gambling debt, Mr. Rong Guo." The government office is very sophisticated, so if I don't make any noise, I'm afraid I won't disturb the nobles in the government."

She is very good-looking, and when she feels wronged, she looks so pitiful that I feel pity for her.

But if she didn't carry the pair of swords behind her, Yang Mengzhang would really believe it.

He rolled his eyes, walked around Qin Ruizhi, and opened the box behind her. When he saw that it was full of copper coins, he suddenly had an ominous premonition and frowned: "Are you here to pay off your gambling debts, or are you here on purpose? The Yang family is causing trouble?"

Qin Ruizhi turned around, bowed slightly, and met Yang Mengzhang's eyes, "Of course I'm here to pay off the debt. You look at the box full of copper coins, but I've worked hard to save my personal money for a long time."
