The 233rd chapter is right and wrong (two)
When my brother came, Dong'er was both happy and worried. Every time he came to his house, he either borrowed money or searched in Jianglang's study while no one was looking for it. He walked away several times Jianglang's newly written poems. Although Jianglang didn't care, Dong'er always felt that his brother had stole his beloved things. He winked at the girl Xier around him. Xier understood it. After offering tea, he went to the study to put the master's pen and ink into the box. There were only books and blank paper left on the table.
At noon, Jiang Anyi returned from the scattered yamen. He looked like Li Shicheng, who looked disappointed in the study, said a few words. Li Shicheng opened his mouth without hesitation to borrow 20,000 taels of silver from Jiang Anyi.
In the past, Li Shicheng also borrowed money, but at least dozens of taels or hundreds of taels. Dong'er didn't take it seriously. This time, he opened his mouth for 20,000 taels. Dong'er was so shocked that he shouted, "Brother, why do you want so much money? But what did you do?"
"I met a girl in the Jinyu Building. The two of them were in love. I intended to redeem her for her. The madam offered too high a price, so she came to ask for help from her brother-in-law." Li Shicheng said shyly.
In the brothel, my brother actually wanted to spend 20,000 taels of silver to redeem the prostitute. Before Jiang Anyi could speak, Dong'er yelled angrily: "No, Anyi, you can't lend him money. I want to tell my parents and let them take good care of you. Since entering Beijing, you have spent all day without doing your job. Now you are entangled with the brothel women. You only have 20,000 taels of silver. Do you know that the family spent only seven or eight taels of silver a year, and how many years were enough for 20,000 taels of silver..."
"Cultivate and move your energy, live and move your body." In Kyoto, with Jiang Anyi learning to read and learning from Fan Qiao's family, Dong'er had already evolved from a country girl to a noble lady, and taught her brother a lesson and said he would quit and go out in a mess.
Li Shicheng was speechless by the girl, and had to turn his eyes to Jiang Anyi for help, hoping that his brother-in-law could help him.
Jiang Anyi had a calm face and was a little unhappy. Li Shicheng asked to borrow 20,000 taels of silver. Although he could take out the silver himself, the silver did not come out of thin air. Moreover, the house built a fort, which was a gold-swallowing beast, and money was needed everywhere.
Jiang Anyi's life in the capital was not luxurious. The normal expenses were only twenty or thirty taels per month. The commissions of servants at home were about ten taels, and the supply of Tian Shuan Building was more than 100 taels. In addition to various social expenses, the annual expenses were not more than 1,000 taels. Li Shicheng took about 1,000 taels of silver from Dong'er in sporadic manner. The people's hearts were not enough, and Li Shicheng's appetite was getting bigger and bigger. This time he actually cost 20,000 taels at once.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Anyi said, "Brother Li, I can't lend you this money to you."
Unexpectedly rejected, Li Shicheng's passionate thoughts seemed to have been poured with cold water, and he said angrily: "An Yi, I heard Dong'er say that you paid Yu Qingle 14,000 taels of gambling debt last time. It is better for me to borrow money to redeem people than to pay the gambling debt. In terms of distance, you and me are always closer than Yu Qingle. If you can pay him 14,000 taels, why don't you lend me 20,000 taels? Is it because his father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
This was a bit too much. Jiang An angrily slapped the table and said angrily: "I have a reason to pay the gambling debt for Yu Qingle, and it is not what Brother Li wants to take advantage of Yan's power. Brother Li, Dong'er said it right. You should spend more time studying, rather than spending a day on banquets and doing nothing."
Without any speculation, Li Shicheng stepped up and ignored Dong'er's call behind him, and left Jiang's house angrily without even having lunch. When he was holding the lights, Li Shicheng, who was disappointed and exhausted, returned to Jinyu Tower and appeared in Qionghua's courtyard.
Amid Qionghua's gentle consolation, Li Shicheng soon got drunk. After getting drunk, he didn't know what he said.
It was the second day when he woke up. Li Shicheng had a severe headache and closed his eyes and moaned softly, "Qionghua, Qionghua, bring some herbal tea."
"Some of herbal tea, cold water."
The voice of a strange man sounded in his ears. Li Shicheng was shocked, opened his eyes, and poured a basin of cold water on his head.
Although it was the end of August, the weather was still warm, and a basin of cold water was enough to make the drunken and awakened people jump up from the soft couch. Li Shicheng was wet and looked at the voice in a mess. A young man in brocade clothes was lying on the Hu bed. This foldable seat came from the Western Regions and was quite popular among the wealthy people in the capital.
