Chapter 231 Asking for others

When you step into the Mi family mansion, the scenery that comes into view is quite different from the imagination.

In Xiahou An's view, as the richest man in Xuzhou, the Mi family is an absolute wealthy family. The mansion decoration must be very grand. As a result, along the way, the most common ones were bare tree trunks and rockery piled up with stones...

For a moment, he even wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.

When he arrived at the main hall, Mi Fang asked Xiahou An to sit down for a while, and then he went to invite his elder brother out.

Xiahou An nodded and said yes. After finding a seat, he was not restrained. He picked up the winter pears in the table and started to chew on it.

Seeing this, the maid outside the door curled her lips: "Miss, this young man is so rude."

In the past, no one who came to the mansion was sitting upright and had a polite manner. However, this young man was not sitting in a position, and he was not eating, and he was like a savage.

Mi Zhen didn't think so. In her opinion, this young man was more free and straightforward than those children of aristocratic families who pretended to behave. She held the hem of her skirt with both hands and gently stepped over the threshold. After a shallow blessing, her slightly moist lips opened: "Is the young master Xiahou Boyang?"

Xiahou An, who was eating pears, kept chewing his cheeks, stretched his head and said in a hurry: "Have you heard of me?"

Mi Zhen was stunned and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

She had indeed heard of Xiahou An, and more than once.

The second brother praised him as rare in the sky and unparalleled underground. He had repeatedly hinted intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to marry her to Xiahou An.

At that time, Mi Zhen just looked at his elder brother. Since his father's death, the burden of the family fell on his elder brother. He has always been a matter of big and small matters. There were many local young talents coming to propose marriage before, but they were wiped out by the entire army.

It is said that Miss Mi San is difficult to marry, but only Mi Zhen himself knows the facts.

She knew very well that she was born into a merchant family and had no choice in her marriage, just like the goods in her own shop, just to wait for the price.

I haven't gotten married yet, just because I don't have the bargaining chips to impress my elder brother yet.

But this time, the eldest brother rarely did not object.

This is enough to show that the eldest brother has high expectations for Xiahou An.

Seeing the woman in front of her was stunned. In order not to make the atmosphere uneven, Xiahou An grabbed a pear and handed it over, shook it slightly, and smiled and said, "It's very sweet!"

Mi Zhen's pretty face turned red and she ran away like a deserted place.

Xiahou An didn't understand why, so he froze his hand in the air with the pear and took it back embarrassedly.

This is very embarrassing.

At this time, the Mi brothers walked in.

"Boyang, why didn't you say hello in advance when you came to Xuzhou? If I had known, I would have sent someone to pick you up." Looking at the young man in the seat in front of me, Mi Zhu smiled on his face. He admired the young man from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right, do you kid treat us as an outsider?" Mi Fang agreed from the side and deliberately raised his face.

Xiahou An stood up and bowed, and said with a smile: "Brother Zifang is a traitor. I have always treated the two brothers as my own brothers, but I haven't seen each other for a while. I missed them in my heart, so I rode down to visit."

Mi Fang laughed loudly after hearing this: "You are so slick, I don't know that you have deceived many good families!"

Xiahou An said he was wronged and he was so conscience!

So far, he has only married a side room. He used to listen to music in the brothels in Chang'an City and occasionally relaxed. That is a legal transaction, right?

After the three of them greeted each other, Mi Zhu returned to the theme.

The so-called "I will not go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble, and Xiahou An is willing to come here in person must be asking for it.

Xiahou An is not a person in the business world, and Mi Zhu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Has Boyang encountered difficulties?"

Mi Zhu has the style of a gentleman and his character is reliable, so Xiahou An did not hide it. He nodded and said slowly: "I believe the two brothers also know that I had fought with Yuan Tan some time ago. Although the final result was that everyone was happy, I also lost my troops and generals. This time I came here to ask the two brothers to borrow some money to provide for the fallen soldiers."

When Mi Fanghun learned that Xiahou An came for money, he was not concerned and generous: "Brother, why should I see you? You had a fight with Yuan Tan before and encountered many difficulties, but we were unable to help you. This time, just use money. This is what my Mi family lacks the most! Tell me, how much do you want?"

"It costs about 60 million yuan."

Xiahou An answered that it was not intentionally speaking, trying to blackmail the Mi family, but in addition to the soldiers' pensions, the city was suffering from war and urgently needed money in all aspects.

This is also the smallest result he and Lu Cui and others calculated repeatedly.

When Mi Fang heard this number, she was stunned for a moment. She thought that how much money could be used for a mere county town? Unexpectedly, there were so many.

If it is a few million, he can make the decision personally, but once the amount reaches tens of millions, he can only listen to his elder brother's opinions.

What's more, it's still 60 million.

Mi Fang looked at her brother, Mi Zhu frowned and pondered at it.

For the Mi family, which has a family capital of hundreds of millions, 60 million is not much, but it is definitely not a small amount.

Businessmen emphasize investment, and interests are always the first.

Seeing that Mi Zhu did not agree immediately, Xiahou An guessed that the money was difficult, so he added: "Don't worry, brothers, I will definitely pay back the principal and interest in the future. If you don't believe it, I can make a document..."

Mi Zhu waved his hand and responded to this matter: "It is rare to be valuable to Boyang with such kindness. There is no need to be more than to be more important. Just think that it is a contribution made by my Mi family to Duchang."

"Brother Mi!"

Xiahou An gave a thumbs up and promised: "If you have something to use for me in the future, just open your mouth."

After having supper in Mi Mansion, Mi Zhu, who was the head of the family, was inevitably troubled by affairs and went to work hard.

Xiahou An and Mi Fang, who were blushing, walked out of the lobby and strolled in the atrium.

During this period, Xiahou An inadvertently talked about food. There was not much left in Duchang City. This year, the Mi family has not sent anyone to Duchang. Xiahou An hopes that the Mi family can allocate more.

Since Xiahou An repelled Yuan Tan, his reputation has increased slightly again. Some refugees believed that Xiahou An had the ability to protect him and rushed to Duchang in order to take him in.

What is the most important thing in troubled times?

Of course it's the population.

Therefore, Xiahou An refused all the refugees who took the initiative to vote.

But in this way, the food supplied has become a new gap.

Mi Fang looked embarrassed, I was afraid this was difficult.

"Brother, you also know what kind of world it is now. It is not as easy as you think. The things you make are good things. If it were the ones you would have made, they would have made a lot of money, but now there are very few people who can afford it. In recent years, the price of grain has increased like crazy, and the price of one stone has increased from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars."

"The merchants everywhere are not stupid people. They are all hoarding food in order to make friends with powerful people as a promotion, or they may start a price and sell it at a good price."

"Every time the food sent to Duchang is actually a loss-making business, and it's all the brothers who pay money in it..."

Mi Fang told the truth truth through the drunkenness.

After all this is said, what else can Xiahou An say?

Besides, the Mi brothers are already good to him, so they should also understand their difficulties.

Forget it, think of other solutions.

Xiahou An was about to give up, but he heard Mi Fang's voice change: "However, I have a way to ask my elder brother to take out more food."

As soon as these words were said, it was a time when the mountains and rivers were at the end of their lives, and there was another village with dark willows and flowers.

Xiahou An hurriedly bowed: "Please teach me brother, brother Fang."
