Chapter 1093: No Opening
Furthermore, how can this be called borrowing? It is basically giving, giving.
If you expect the Hanlin scholars to return the money, you will have to wait!
I'm afraid it will take even ten or eight years.
You can't urge them to pay back their debts. Urging people to pay back their debts is the easiest way to make enemies.
Borrowing money and ending up making an enemy, only a fool would do such a thing!
Furthermore, if this is the first case and one person is lent the money, will the second person also lend it? Will the third person or the fourth person lend it?
Qiao Xuan didn't bring up the idea.
He said that he had spent a lot of money on returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors. He would be back less often in the future and was worried that his family would have a hard time, so he left some money at home. He had just bought a piece of land of more than ten acres in the north of the city a while ago, so he had no money left.
If so, since we are all colleagues, we will naturally be willing to lend it.
The emperor and the palace gave many rewards, but those things could be displayed beautifully or worn, but they could not be sold or pawned, and no one dared to ask for such things.
The visitor had no choice but to give up.
Although I am a little unhappy in my heart, so what? They are not your relatives or friends, and they don't owe you any favors. There is nothing wrong with me not lending you money.
This kind of unhappiness is just a temporary mood and will pass away.
Some people couldn't help but ask her about the land she bought. Qiao Xuan smiled and told her everything without hiding anything. She said she would plant some vegetables next year, such as green vegetables, cabbage, lettuce, radish, winter melon, loofah, peppers, eggplants, etc., so that they could eat fresh ones.
The vegetables in Beijing are so expensive that I feel sad every time I buy them!
It would be better to buy a piece of land and grow vegetables there to save some money.
If you can’t finish the food, you can feed some chickens and ducks. You can eat the eggs they lay. You can also kill one from time to time to satisfy your craving.
The person who asked the question was speechless.
I thought to myself, if you don't buy the land, won't you have money to lend me? Ten acres of land should be worth two or three hundred silver coins, right?
Two or three hundred silver coins can buy food for many years to live on, but so much money is spent just to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks!
However, the money belongs to others and it is their business how they want to spend it. Who has the nerve to say anything?
People came to borrow money every now and then, and Qiao Xuan dealt with them this way. She became a little puzzled. Even if she and Shao Yunduan were "newcomers", they would be shy and embarrassed to refuse, but they wouldn't have attracted so many people to borrow money, right?
Someone finally let the secret slip that day, and Qiao Xuan suddenly realized that it was actually spread by Mrs. Lin.
Without saying a word, Qiao Xuan ran to Mrs. Lin the next day to borrow money for the New Year.
The result, of course, was nothing.
So whenever someone came to her house, Qiao Xuan would simply say that she had no money at home and had to borrow from Mrs. Lin!
After this news spread, no one came to borrow money anymore.
Qiao Xuan sneered and told Shao Yunduan about this, asking him to be wary of Mrs. Lin’s husband and some people who were on good terms with her husband.
I’m afraid these are all minions of the Tian family.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she had no way to vent. She originally wanted to trick Qiao Xuan so as to indirectly please the Tian family, but not only did she fail to trick her, but it seemed that Qiao Xuan realized that it was her who said something.
This Qiao family is really cunning!
Mrs. Lin failed to trick Qiao Xuan, and she was angry and a little jealous: This is how the world is, the more people like this, the more likely they are to get by, it's really unfair.
In early October, Qiao Xuan received a letter from Shi, the concubine of the Fourth Prince, inviting her to go to the villa in the northern suburbs of the city to climb the mountain and admire the red leaves and chrysanthemums in two days.
