Chapter 75 Meet Again (2)
Su Jinghe glanced at Cui Shaoxi in surprise, then looked at Fang Qing, and said, "Why didn't I hear? Ten thousand taels is not a small amount. What are you going to do, Qing'er?" "Of course, I support you."
Fang Qing rolled his eyes at him and whispered, "It doesn't matter if you support it or not!"
Su Jinghe laughed, as if the more he was robbed by his daughter-in-law, the happier he was.
Fang Qing sighed in her heart. Even so, since Cui Shaoxi heard her and asked again, she couldn't do it without saying, "It's not what I want to do, it's my cousin who wants to borrow it."
Cui Shaoxi and Su Jinghe were stunned and their eyes widened.
Su Jinghe touched his forehead, then smiled and said "oh" without saying much.
Lian Fangzhou was nervously watching Su Jinghe's expression. If he changed his face and showed a disapproving expression, it would be more difficult for her to borrow it! After all, 10,000 taels is not a small amount. Even if he doesn't know it at the moment, Fang Qing must discuss it with him. Maybe, he has to ask the master and wife of the Su family!
Seeing that Su Jinghe didn't show any unhappiness, Cui Shaoxi was only surprised, and she secretly let go of half of her heart.
Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Borrowing money is really not easy to do!
She swore that from now on, she would never borrow money from anyone again.
Fang Qing smiled at Lian Fangzhou and said softly: "This is not an outsider, let's continue with what we just said! Say what you think, it doesn't matter!"
Su Jinghe smiled and said, "Yes, yes, your cousin is right! Just discuss this matter with her!"
Lian Fangzhou was grateful and said, "Thank you, cousin, brother-in-law!", and then said to Fang Qing, "Just now, cousin asked me what to do with the money. I want to buy land, hire people, and grow cotton. I don't know if my cousin heard that Well, this year, Yuhe County is also among the counties selected by the imperial court to promote potatoes and cotton, I want to try it!”
Naturally, Fang Qing had heard about such a big thing, so she nodded and said, "I heard about this too! However, I have never seen these potatoes and cotton before, and I couldn't find out if I asked people. What's going on, I'll put it aside and don't care anymore, after all, it has nothing to do with our family! Have you—have you heard of it? Why do you have such thoughts?"
Lian Fangzhou said: "I haven't heard of it either, but isn't sweet potato gradually popularized a few years ago? It's just that the promotion of sweet potato is not compulsory! I just thought, the imperial court will definitely not deceive people. As for potatoes, there are already sweet potatoes, and they may not be able to make money. I heard that cotton can make clothes, maybe it is an opportunity, so I want to give it a try!”
"Little girl is quite courageous, but you're thinking too simple, right? If it doesn't work, what will you do?" Cui Shaoxi couldn't help saying.
Lian Fangzhou heard him call him "little girl", resisted the urge to rush up to beat him, and said, "I think this is worth trying, even if it doesn't work, it's not a big loss! At least the land I bought is there, 10,000 taels of silver at most for two or three years, I can still afford it."
"I didn't mean it like that! Don't get me wrong!" Cui Shaoxi didn't expect Lian Fangzhou to say that. He was a little anxious and embarrassed, his face was a little red, and he glanced at Fangqing in embarrassment.
Lian Fangzhou's meaning is clearly that he is afraid that she will not be able to make an explanation for the ten thousand taels! She wasn't borrowing money from him. Isn't this explanation insinuating that he's acting in his place?
Cui Shaoxi has always been a rambunctious, informal, suave and suave person, and he has never seen him feel embarrassed. Su Jinghe was stunned for a moment, Fang Qing couldn't help laughing, and then asked Lian Fangzhou, "Cousin has thought about it clearly and definitely wants to try it? You can think that since the cotton is something I haven't seen before, I don't know if there is any special attention to planting, can you really handle it?"
Seeing Fang Qing making fun of herself, Cui Shaoxi felt even more embarrassed and annoyed, thinking that this little girl is really abominable, how could these two make fun of me in the future!
He was embarrassed and anxious, and was busy trying to save face. When his mind became hot, he said, "Isn't it only ten thousand taels of silver? I'll lend it to you! If you make a profit, I will pay it back, and if you lose it, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back!"
Lian Fangzhou glanced at him indifferently, and said coolly: "I am not related to Cui Gongzi, so how can I borrow Cui Gongzi's money? Cui Gongzi's good intentions are taken!"
Cui Shaoxi didn't expect that he would take the initiative to help her, but instead, he would be disgusted. He opened his mouth and was so aggrieved that he couldn't say a word.
Since childhood, when has he been treated like this?
Su Jinghe burst out laughing, overjoyed, gloating over the misfortune, laughing and saying, "I said Minzhi, you have today too!"
He thought his wife's cousin was really interesting, so he smiled at his wife: "Qing'er, I think what my cousin said is quite reasonable. Let's borrow ten thousand taels of silver!"
Fang Qing smiled and did not answer him, but looked at Lian Fangzhou, waiting for her answer.
Instead of being angry and unhappy, Lian Fangzhou was secretly grateful. Fang Qing didn't agree with her like a child's play, which was her respect.
Lian Fangzhou nodded and said, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, I have thought through all the concerns that my cousin said, and I want to give it a try!"
"Well, since that's the case, we'll lend you the ten thousand taels!" Fang Qing glanced at Su Jinghe and said to Lian Fangzhou with a smile.
Lian Fangzhou was instantly overjoyed, and Lian Ze's eyes also lit up. The siblings hurriedly got up and thanked Fang Qing and Su Jinghe with a smile.
"Don't be too polite!" Fang Qing smiled and said, "Since you said borrowing, then we are borrowing. We are relatives, so I won't say anything about interest, and I don't care when you pay it back. In short, you remember That's it!"
"Cousin and cousin-in-law trust us so much, we are grateful! The money will be paid back!" Lian Fangzhou said with a smile.
Fang Qing nodded with a smile, and stopped worrying about it. She smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come here. Stay for two days before leaving! Our cousins can talk too!"
Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled: "Cousin is kind, let's do it next time! Qing'er and Che'er are still at home, I'm a little worried!"
"But it's really late today. Even if you go back, it will be dark when you arrive at Yuhe County! Just stay with me for one night. Wouldn't it be better if I send a carriage to take you back in the morning?" Fang Qing laughed again. : "My cousins, if you refuse again, you will be seen outside!"
Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze couldn't, so they had to agree.
Fang Qing smiled at Li Ma and said, "You can arrange the guest room in person in a moment. Come and have dinner together! By the way, there is another person who is with you—"
