Chapter 422: Principle and profit

5days ago traverse Novels 3
The next day, Meng Chang lost again; and added a thousand yuan of debt, borrowed from Wang Zhenfu because the gambling house knew his identity and did not dare to force him to pay back his debts, nor did he continue to borrow money.

When he returned home, he was no longer a penny, and he had foreign debts and interest totaling more than 2,600 chunks.

A common money is hundreds of coins, and more than two thousand coins is not a small amount for a wealthy family.Meng Chang's duke is not low, and his salary is only this amount for nearly a year.

Meng Chang cried and regretted in front of Mrs. Huarui: I lost even Furong's jewelry and clothes, I'm not a human!When I recovered from this aura, I will definitely be nice to Furong.

After hearing this, Mrs. Huarui was very moved. On the one hand, she was so disappointed with a husband like this; but on the other hand, Meng Chang's feelings full of guilt were very sincere... In the past, no one had ever treated her with care a little better than Meng Chang, and Mrs. Huarui became soft-hearted.

Meng Chang was at a loss, but Mrs. Huarui was still very sober. She immediately asked: Wang Zhenfu lends you money for a purpose.What are his requirements?

Meng Chang said: He asked me to come back and ask Furong to ask you to plead for him in front of Guodu’s inspection. As long as you keep your official position, you will return the IOU and let me not pay back the money.

We cannot do this condition.Mrs. Huarui said with certainty that General Guo is not the emperor of Shu, and he will not play with the officials.Wang Zhenfu lost his official position not only because he offended others, but he was a corrupt official himself.

Meng Chang said sadly: Then how can I pay back the money?

Mrs. Huarui pondered: It is logical that you can not pay back, and you can even pay the money from the gambling house. No one dares to force you to make some money.

Alas... Meng Chang said helplessly.

Mrs. Huarui held her hands together and paced back and forth a few steps: But we cannot owe money to people like Wang Zhenfu. Alang should stay away from him, otherwise there will be trouble.I went to Jingniang to borrow 2,600 guan, so I could only ask for one thousand guan, and first repay Wang Zhenfu's money.

Meng Chang said nothing.

Mrs. Huarui looked at him with a sad look on her face: Alang, I did this for your own good, Wang Zhenfu must not make friends... The most difficult thing in the world is to borrow money, which is very harmful to your face; I'll lend you money for you, which is more uncomfortable than using jewelry and clothes.Can you listen to me?

Meng Chang nodded vigorously and said: I am determined this time and will never gamble again.

Mrs. Huarui sighed and pondered: After I borrowed the money, I won’t give it to you. She asked Wei Zhong to exchange the loan note for it.But... you won't borrow money from Wang Zhenfu again, right?

No!Meng Chang gritted his teeth.

So Mrs. Huarui asked the eunuch Wei Zhong to make an appointment with Jingniang.

As expected, Jing Niang was still a very nostalgic person and came soon.

Mrs. Huarui cleaned up and she only had old clothes and no valuable jewelry on her body. She looked at her image in the mirror. She was dressed like a noble lady, and she felt that she had lost her face.

As a woman, she is still very competitive and vanity. Such a shameless thing in her heart is as uncomfortable as exposure.

The most difficult thing is to ask for money. Wouldn’t it be even more shameless if you are rejected?After all, a thousand jin is not a decimal.

I have no intention of dealing with myself while staying at home.Mrs. Huarui greeted her when she saw Jing Niang.

Jing Niang ignored her words at all and said directly: Madam comes to me, there must be something to do, let’s talk about the serious matter first.

I want to borrow a thousand guan, but I don’t know... Mrs. Huarui bit her lower lip lightly.

no problem.Jing Niang said expressionlessly, "No need to borrow it, I'll give you a thousand guan."

Mrs. Huarui sighed secretly, knowing that Jingniang is overdrawing that kindness because of her wealth and wealth in the past.

She whispered again: I don’t want General Guo to know, it’s quite embarrassing. I hope Jing’s mother will keep it secret for me.

In this case, I cannot withdraw it from the account. I don’t have enough money to save in private, so I have to go to Yuzhenguan first.Jingniang said, I will send it to my wife tomorrow morning, can it be?

Mrs. Huarui nodded and said: OK, don’t be too anxious.

...The next morning, Mrs. Huarui did not find Meng Chang.

When Wei Zhong went to pay back the money, he told her that Meng Chang borrowed another 2,000 guan from Wang Zhenfu; a total of 3,000 guan was issued, and there was no interest. He paid back 1,000 guan (given by Jing Niang), and there were still 2,000 guan debts left.

Mrs. Huarui sat on the chair all at once, sitting there unable to say a word.

By midnight, Meng Chang returned home dejected again.

Mrs. Huarui's face couldn't hide her anger and sadness: Why did you become like this!What did you say yesterday?Alang, you know that I have lost all my face for pulling you out of the mud pit!When I met my mother, I wanted to find a crack in the floor to get in... You, you lost another two thousand guan!If you do this, how can we live?

Meng Chang was stunned and said with a sad face: It's really boring to stay in the house. I just wanted to play backgammon (similar to the rules of flying chess), but I didn't think about borrowing money from Wang Zhenfu.Backgammon wins and losses are slow and plays small, just killing time...

Ah Lang isn’t he penniless?Mrs. Huarui frowned.

Meng Chang said: Cui'er also hid some private money, so I asked her to give it to me.

After hearing this, Mrs. Huarui felt that her heart was very cold.It’s not easy for someone to save some money for a palace maid.

Meng Chang sighed and said: I am familiar with the double chess. I often play in the palace and won a little money.But what is that enough?I wanted to find two ladies to drink some wine with me, so I couldn't help but use the money to bet... It disappeared all of a sudden, so...

Mrs. Huarui stood up and said annoyedly: There is nothing we can do!I don’t care about you, now I can only rely on the debt!

...Meng Chang slept all night and was bored again. He ran out despite Mrs. Huarui's crying and persuading him.Now the officials and clerks in the palace seem to care about his freedom at all.

But he ran back soon and pestered Mrs. Huarui and begged: It's just a sesame official position. You go and ask Jingniang to see if it's useful.Those officials who know that Jing Niang is someone around Guo Shao will most likely give him a favor.

how?Wang Zhenfu won’t lend you money?Mrs. Huarui asked coldly, that's good.Anyway, if he lends it to you, you will lose all your money!

Meng Chang said anxiously: I can get my money back if I only have 500 stalemates!I beg you, madam, Furong!

It is impossible to make a profit until death!Mrs. Huarui said annoyedly and left the hall with her sleeves.

Meng Chang followed him all the way: I've been watching for a few days, and there's probably a rule to follow.I was angry as soon as I lost, and I only lost that tone before. I have already figured out a way.

At this moment, Wei Zhong ran in and said, "Zuo Shaoqing and Jing Niang are here, and they want to see their wife."

Mrs. Huarui stopped and stroked her hair.

Meng Chang also followed, and Mrs. Huarui whispered: Never ask for money!It is embarrassing enough to lose your country and country. They are all people who have destroyed your country. If you lose, you must keep some dignity.

When I arrived at the hall, I saw a large bag of things on the table, and the raised area looked like it was a property.Zuo You smiled and stood up and bowed: I paid homage to Duke Qin and Mrs. Huarui.

Meng Chang bowed his hand to return the gift, and Mrs. Huarui also bowed her knees gently and made a blessing.

Several people sat back.Jing Niang was very silent, Zuo You said calmly: There are about two thousand guan here...

Mrs. Huarui said: I dare not borrow money from you again.

Lady, don't be impatient.Zuo You said calmly, is the money we have so easy to get?Wang Zhenfu and the gambling house, don’t think about making a penny.As for this money, the wife first returned it to Wang Zhenfu so as not to lose money... Then the people from Dali Temple would go to search the house and take back the capital and profit.

Mrs. Huarui was shocked and couldn't speak.Meng Chang also said something and was stunned.

Zuo You was very calm: Someone would send the IOU from the gambling house back to the Duke of Qin’s mansion.However, Duke Qin cannot go out. Today, the guards in the mansion have changed... This way, Duke Qin can quit gambling, right?This matter is done, so I can report it to my lord.Is the wife still satisfied with Mr. Zuo’s way of doing things?

Mrs. Huarui said: I really bother General Guo.

Zuo You said: No, the lord is just a sentence, and then wait for the result.This matter can still be done.

Meng Chang said dissatisfiedly: Am I under house arrest again?

The Duke of Qin should have been restricted, but the governor of the king was dereliction of duty and caused chaos.Zuo You said, I am the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. I can’t directly manage the affairs here, it takes some time to coordinate.

After saying that, he looked at Meng Chang's face and smiled: If Duke Qin likes gambling, his lord's second brother has the same hobby. One day, let him come to Duke Qin to have a chance to have a chance.

Zuo You was about to say goodbye after he finished speaking.Only then did Jing Niang walk to Mrs. Huarui and whisper: There is a military general named Qin Bao among those guards. She is the subordinate of the Guo family. The wife wants to go out to find me, just look for him.

Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said: Thank you, Jingniang.

Need not.Jingniang said in a stiff tone.

...After seeing off the guests, Mrs. Huarui felt relieved, but she was still very upset and felt very depressed, feeling that there were foul smells around her.

She was a little tired and was about to go back to the room to calm down when she heard the whimpering sound of crying.

She heard that the palace maid was crying, so she hurriedly walked over in the sound, opened the door and looked inside.

The palace maid heard the dull noise and hurriedly covered her lower body with her clothes.

Mrs. Huarui saw her bare legs under her clothes, turned around and closed the door, frowned and asked: What happened, why are you crying?

The palace maid held the clothes on her legs, blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.

Tell me, is someone bullying you?Mrs. Huarui asked.

The palace maid shook her head vigorously and finally whispered: I'm sick...

After hearing this, Mrs. Huarui suddenly understood: Did Alang get you infected?

The palace maid choked and said: It seems that I only sleep for the Lang.

Mrs. Huarui locked the door, walked over, and said kindly: Let me see what it looks like.It doesn't matter, don't be afraid, I'll ask someone to take medicine for you to treat it.
