"What?"
"Lin Da, are you crazy? One hundred thousand silver, you just gave it to me?"
"One hundred thousand? How can the Xiao family get one hundred thousand now?"
"Unless...unless the property is pawned."
"But if this happens, the Xiao family's reputation in Hangzhou will not be preserved."
"Brother Lin is too impulsive. Even if the eldest lady tells him to handle it, does he really regard the Xiao family as his own?"
The eldest lady's eyes widened after hearing this. She never thought that the solution Lin Wanjie said was to directly give her one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Even if they really agreed, the Xiao family wouldn't be able to afford so much money.
But looking at Lin Wanjie's back, I found that this strong man did not waver at all, as steady as a mountain, meticulous, as if he had everything under control.
Li Mingyu stared at Lin Wanjie and asked with a sneer: "That's quite loud. Do you know how much one hundred thousand taels is? Can your Xiao family give so much money? Even if you have so much money, will you agree to give it so much?"
"What are you worried about? Did you see what my eldest lady said?"
Li Mingyu looked at the eldest lady and found that she was a little surprised, but didn't say anything, and was a little murmuring in his heart.
One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount.
It is also an astronomical figure for the Li family.
It is impossible to say that I am not moved.
Compared with a woman, making fifty thousand taels directly seems more practical.
Li Mingyu thought for a while and said to himself that he had the marriage certificate in hand and the matchmaker as a witness. As long as he held the marriage certificate, he would not be afraid of the Xiao family's tricks!
"Okay! One day, this is what you said yourself." Li Mingyu waved, "Let's go! The Li family is waiting for the Xiao family to send one hundred thousand taels of silver tomorrow, otherwise they can't cancel the engagement at any cost."
Li Mingyu left, and the servants of the Li family also left with great fanfare.
After everyone from the Li family had left, the eldest lady immediately came up and asked: "Lin Da, what are you thinking? He was so cunning and cunning in the beginning, but now he suddenly becomes so honest again. He can do whatever he says. I don’t know what the price is.”
"Then what price does Madam think is appropriate?"
The eldest lady was stunned, her embroidered eyebrows rippled like water in the West Lake while she was deep in thought, which made Lin Wanjie's heart also ripple.
After thinking for a moment, the eldest lady sighed quietly: "Hey, the matter has come to this, it's too late to say anything. Unfortunately, I can't come up with one hundred thousand taels of silver now. I have to go and get it together, and I can't pawn some gold, silver and jade. I'll try my best. I collected one hundred thousand taels in one day."
"Madam, who said I had to give him one hundred thousand taels?" Lin Wanjie suddenly said.
"What? Won't you give him one hundred thousand taels? How much? But you've already agreed."
"How much? Not a penny."
"Not even a cent."
"I told my wife, I want to eat the 50,000 taels from the Li family, that is, I will eat not a penny less." Lin Wanjie's eyes flashed with a coldness, and his rough facial features were no longer as silly as before. , is a kind of intimidating ruthlessness.
The eldest lady frowned and warned: "Lin Da, you must not act recklessly. You can't do those things that bring disaster just because you have the support of the prince."
"Madam, I have also said that we should not be merciful when dealing with evil people and do not let them get hurt. He will always think that we are easy to bully. I only need one hundred taels of silver for this matter, and I will not take a penny back from the Li family! Believe me, I I won’t mess around, I want to make sure the Li family’s suffering cannot be told.”
The eldest lady must believe in Lin Wanjie.
Lin Wanjie said that he would need one hundred taels of silver to resolve the matter, so he wanted one hundred taels of silver.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Wanjie went out with four servants and Butler Liu, heading toward the west gate in a hurry.
Ximen is the home of Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang is the matchmaker hired by the Li family to propose marriage to the Xiao family.
Today, I went out with the young master of the Li family. When I returned to the courtyard, I took out five taels of silver and was complaining.
"I have traveled such a long way to give you such a small amount of money. The person named Li is really stingy!"
After saying that, he sighed and sat down in the courtyard to rest and beat his legs.
Then he shouted: "Ning'er! Ning'er! Where did he die?"
After calling his son several times, there was no response, and the fence door was pushed open.
"How long has it been and you haven't cooked yet? I run outside every day and can't even get a bite of hot food when I get home."
"Grandma Wang is really working hard."
When Grandma Wang heard that it was not her son's voice, she raised her head to look.
Seeing Lin Wanjie, Butler Liu and several servants of the Xiao family standing at the door, he instantly became nervous, stood up and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Wang Po, I just want to ask, how much money did the Li family give you when you were a matchmaker with the Li family?" Lin Wanjie asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang's eyes rolled, as if she had guessed the purpose of these people's visit, and she smiled brightly: "The young master of the Li family is a cheerful person, and he always gives old students things. It's not a matter of money, it's mainly about feelings. The young master of the Li family is very fond of him. Hello, old lady, you can’t forget it.”
"Then if the Xiao family wants to ask Granny Wang to slander the engagement, how much money does Granny Wang think is appropriate?"
"From the tone of some of you, do you want the old woman to give false testimony?"
"When we get to the court, Mrs. Wang only needs to say a word to help the Xiao family. It's that simple."
"Simple?" Wang Po smiled and walked proudly to Lin Wanjie. She was not afraid of how tall she was and raised her head, "This matter is not simple. I heard it with my own ears. This is a sum of one hundred thousand words." Business, how much is this sentence from the old lady worth? It should be worth five thousand taels at least."
"puff!"
Butler Liu heard it on the side and squirted directly.
Five thousand taels!
This old witch dares to speak!
Butler Liu's eyes were red and he was about to spray.
Lin Wanjie raised her hand to block it gently, and then said: "Five thousand taels is not much. But how old are you, Granny Wang? Can you spend all that money?"
"Whether the old lady can spend all the money, you won't have to worry about me as a servant. Even if the old lady can't spend all the money, I'm still here!"
"I don't have five thousand taels, but the Xiao family is willing to pay for one hundred taels." Lin Wanjie changed the topic and said directly.
"One hundred taels?" Wang Po laughed angrily, "Hahaha, a servant is just a servant, there is no pattern at all! One hundred taels is like sending an old woman? It's not enough to send a beggar! Without the word "old woman", the Xiao family would either If you sell the eldest lady, you have to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver. For such a big deal, the old lady only needs five thousand taels, which is already the most benevolent thing! Five thousand taels, not a penny less! If not, get out of here!"
With that said, Mrs. Wang went up to push Lin Wanjie and quickly closed the door.
Lin Wanjie didn't make a move and just retreated outside the fence.
Wang Po turned around and was about to leave.
Then Lin Wanjie asked outside: "I heard that Grandma Wang's son is a piece of trash who can't hold up the wall. He is fooling around outside, and his reputation is not very good. No girl in his thirties is willing to marry."
"It's good that you know! The old woman wants so much money for her son's sake."
"I also heard that your son was arrested by an official just now. I don't know whether it is true or not. It seems that he will be sent to the border army tomorrow."
