Chapter 79: Borrowing from all over the capital
Lu Yuanxiao’s first stop was the richest family, the Lin family.
To say that I am rich.
Definitely the richest man.
Money basket.
The Lin family's business has been growing bigger and bigger over the years, but these scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, want power when they have money.
The Lin family is now using their connections to get a royal merchant title and change their status.
Unfortunately, after several years, there is still no solution.
But all this has nothing to do with the richest man’s nine-year-old youngest son.
He is still in the process of enlightenment.
Lin Yanyang welcomed his friend into the house. His eyes fell on the doll in Lu Yuanxiao's arms: "Last time, Li Siqi said that you brought your sister to the academy, and it turned out to be true."
"Show me now."
Lu Chaochao was reluctant to lend him money, and he grinned, revealing a few teeth.
"Yangyang pot..."
"So cute, Lu Yuanxiao, your sister is so cute." Lin Yanyang is the youngest son of the Lin family. When he saw this chubby sister, he immediately fell in love with her.
"That's my sister. She looks like me." Lu Yuanxiao looked proud.
Lin Yanyang curled his lips: "Looks like you, it's not good looking if it looks like you."
As two close friends, they naturally don't care who wins the verbal duel.
"My sister wants to borrow some money to do business. Do you want to join?" Lu Yuanxiao smiled like a wolf.
Lin Yanyang was stunned: "Doing business? On our own?"
Lu Yuanxiao nodded: "Yes, I treat you as a friend, so I came to you first." Of course, it’s not because you have a lot of money.
"Make a lot of money..." Lu Chaochao made a huge gesture...
"Your sister borrowed it?" Lin Yanyang looked surprised.
Lu Chaochao nodded her head.
"Guo Guo, do you have a sister and some New Year's money?"
Lin Yanyang nodded. He saved his New Year’s money every year.
He took Lu Yuanxiao into the house and asked the maid to watch the door.
He took out a box, which was much bigger than Lu Chaochao's.
When it was opened, there were quite a few banknotes inside.
"Rich!" Lu Chaochao exclaimed.
Lin Yanyang touched his head embarrassedly: "My father gave me a lot on weekdays, and I spent a lot, and there are still six hundred taels left. I will lend them all to you, Chaochao!" He handed all the banknotes to Chaochao.
Lu Yuanxiao didn't stay long. He took the money and carried Chaochao out.
Just as I was about to leave, I happened to meet Uncle Lin returning home.
He was drunk and tipsy.
Lin Yanyang looked distressed: "My father has been coming home drunk every day these days."
"The Lin family has been a merchant for a lifetime, and my father wants to change the family. How can it be so easy? He wanted to donate money to become an official a few years ago, but it didn't work out. Now he wants to become an imperial merchant overnight, which is even more difficult."
Uncle Lin was so drunk that he couldn't stand steadily, and Lin Yanyang's mother burst into tears out of heartache.
"This... hiccup, this is Yan Yang's classmate?" Uncle Lin reeked of alcohol as he spoke.
"Dad, this is my classmate, Lu Yuanxiao, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. This is his sister, Lu Chaochao." Lin Yanyang helped his father.
Uncle Lin burped.
"This is your first time coming to our house."
As he spoke, he took money out of his pocket: "Happy New Year. New Year, it's the first time again, the first time I come back, a gift for meeting you."
"This child is so cute." Uncle Lin stuffed the banknotes to Lu Chaochao and was helped away by his wife.
Lin Yanyang looked apologetic: "My father is not a local tycoon, nor is he a nouveau riche. He was drunk."
Lu Chaochao, however, looked excited.
"Wow, porridge!" Wow, Uncle Lin is so nice! !
Who would give two thousand taels of silver in a red envelope? !
She is willing to visit the richest man's house to pay New Year's greetings every year.
Lin Yanyang smiled foolishly. His father was drunk and took out the wrong thing.
But he didn't care.
After sending Lu Yuanxiao and the other person to the door, Lu Chaochao held onto the door and took a deep breath.
"What's wrong?" asked the third brother.
The little fellow, who could barely walk steadily, was seriously leaning on the door and sniffing: "Sniff, sniff..." for wealth.
Lin Yanyang found it very funny.
Watching the two people walk away, I sighed in my heart.
Royal merchant, oh royal merchant, why can’t a noble man come to help the Lin family?
At this moment, Lu Yuanxiao carried Chao Chao to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion again.
Lu Chaochao borrowed the eight-year-old Li Siqi's savings of 2,630 taels as she wished.
He then went to the home of the Minister of Rites Fang and borrowed 560 taels of silver for his three-year-old grandson.
He also went to the home of Lord Wang, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and borrowed 621 taels of silver from his five-year-old grandson.
He then went to the house of a cabinet scholar and borrowed eight hundred taels of silver from his three-year-old granddaughter.
He then went to the residence of Doctor Guanglu and borrowed two hundred and eighty taels for his two-year-old grandson.
He went to the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and borrowed eight copper coins for his one-year-old grandson, and...
A jug of milk.
Because she was hungry.
The two of them had bulging pockets, and Yushu and Yuqin kept several pages of account books.
"How much is it?" Lu Yuanxiao's face was numb.
The two of them borrowed New Year's money from all the children in Beijing! !
Yuqin swallowed and said, "Twenty-two thousand three hundred and sixty-eight taels, and eight copper coins."
The bulk of the money came from the Lin family, eight thousand taels.
Lu Yuanxiao was stunned and couldn't help but cover his butt with his hands.
"Sister, when are we going to do business?" Lu Yuanxiao was almost crying. He was in big trouble.
Lu Chaochao handed all the banknotes to Yuqin: "Uncle, let uncle buy it!" She leaned over to Yuqin's ear and whispered to her.
Yuqin was stunned for a moment, then agreed heavily.
"What did you buy? What did you buy?"
Lu Yuanxiao was a little curious.
[Hehe, Third Brother will know soon.] I definitely earn more than my second brother…】 Lu Chaochao smiled slyly.
In the evening, I returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Where did you go today? You didn't come home all day and you ran around with your sister all day."
"Look, my sister is so tired that she can't even open her eyelids." asked Mrs. Xu.
Lu Yuanxiao covered his buttocks and dared not speak.
"Just, I went to visit friends and wish them a happy new year." I also cheated some of my friends out of their New Year's money.
Lu Yuanxiao: It’s over. I can’t save my butt anymore.
How would Lu Yuanxiao know?
The one who can't save his ass is his father!
The second day.
Lu Yuanze rested for a night and finally adjusted his mood.
He also asked his superiors and colleagues to put in a good word for him.
He went to court in high spirits.
Just stepped into the Golden Palace.
Impeachment memorials flew towards him like snowflakes.
It's all about impeaching him!
In the hall, the group of founding heroes who had long since stopped caring about things but were in very high positions all impeached him!
He was frightened out of his wits.
"Your Majesty, please help us! The loyal and brave marquis allowed his daughter to cheat and swindled all of my grandson's New Year's money!!"
"Your Majesty, the loyal and brave marquis allowed his daughter to cheat for New Year's money!"
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery cheated my grandson out of eight copper coins."
"Your Majesty, the Loyal and Brave Marquis has gone too far!!"
"And eight hundred taels for my granddaughter."
"And I, your servant..."
"And I, your servant..."
They fell to their knees.
More than half of the people in the court were kneeling, all of them were victims.
Lu Yuanze was confused.
Who are you talking about?
My one-year-old daughter cheated your child out of his New Year’s money? ? !
Lu Yuanze looked at his colleagues all over the floor, and his scalp went numb...
Gnashing of teeth.
How much did you borrow? !
