With the efforts of Erfang's family, Mrs. Shen finally agreed to let Shen Wenhua manage the shop. Therefore, I felt very guilty towards Shen Wenhua in my heart. Shen Wenhua and Shen Jingshu agreed, and naturally they didn't feel embarrassed, so they agreed directly, but told Shen Wenli that he must work hard and manage the shop well. Shen Wenli said it well. Very satisfied with Dafang's reaction, he specifically asked Shen Wenli to do a good job, which was considered to be a guarantee for Shen Wenli, and the matter of Erfang going to the shop was settled like that.
Guo Yuanshuang, who has been the housekeeper for many years, naturally knows how much property the Shen family has. She has long thought about letting Shen Wenli go to the jade shop. The business is good, and the things inside are also very valuable, and they can rely on them in the future.
Of course, they chose the first shop carefully, and they must have other shop ideas in their hearts, but they can't become fat at one go, so the two of them will take a shop for the time being, and wait for a little bit to gain weight. The trust of the old lady and Shen Wenhua, they will eat in one by one, so that even if the old lady Shen goes away in the future, they will have something to rely on.
I have to say that after half a year, Erfang's greed has not decreased, but has intensified, because they know the pain of not having money, this time, naturally, they will not let go easily!
"Master, since elder brother promised us to run the jade shop, then master must do it well. By then, we will have the trust of elder brother, and we can have more." Unexpectedly, things would go so smoothly, and both of them thought that the eldest son would object Yes, but I never thought that Da Fang would actually agree, and I am really happy at the moment.
Hehe, it looks like it's still the same as before. As long as they get the old lady's favor, how can the big house object? It seems that the old lady is the most important, and they can definitely curry favor with the old lady in the future. After all, in this family, the old lady is the authority!
"Got it, got it, I'll start going tomorrow, and we'll have another shop in a few days." Shen Wenli was also happy when the matter was a success.
"Okay, master, I will prepare clothes for you, and tomorrow the master will go to rectify and make the jade shop our own as soon as possible."
"I see, well, I'm going to Meier."
"Master, this Meier, my mother asked her before, she seems to dislike her very much, we just came back now, so we have to be careful about everything!" Guo Yuanshuang was really worried about this Meier, let alone that Meier was Even if Shen Wenli pampered someone from that kind of place, she couldn't rest assured.
She found a reason to sell the concubines in their house before she came back, but Shen Wenli refused to agree to sell this Meier. For this reason, Guo Yuanshuang had always had a thorn in her heart, so naturally she would not let the concubine named Meier go easily. Meier's woman.
"You don't have to worry about Meier, I know it well. You sold all my concubines before, and I didn't say anything about you, but I warn you, don't touch Meier, otherwise don't blame me for being rude! "Now that he is in charge of the shop, Shen Wenli has enough confidence, and he is not polite to Guo Yuanshuang.
"Master, don't you hurt my concubine's heart by saying this?" He didn't expect that he had done so much for Shen Wenli, and Shen Wenli didn't feel grateful at all. On the contrary, he treated her like this. Sometimes Guo Yuanshuang really felt that he was not worth it!
Why did she meet such a man
"Okay, don't cry at every turn, let mother know, she thought I was bullying you again." She frowned impatiently, this Meier was met by Shen Wenli by accident, not to mention she was very beautiful, And the kung fu in that aspect is also very good, serving him is very comfortable, of course he likes it.
"Master..."
"It's nothing. I'm going to see Meier. I'll help out at the shop in the future. Be honest with me at home and don't make trouble for me!" He left cheerfully. The son was served comfortably, and Guo Yuanshuang was very angry when he heard about it, thinking that the women who come out of these unclean places are really different, and they really have no shame in prostitution in the daytime!
Hmph, she just endured it first, when the time comes, she will make this little bitch look good!
…
Shen Wenli's business to go to the shop was just like that. From the next day, Shen Wenli went out early and returned late every day. He looked very busy, which made Mrs. Shen feel a little distressed, "Second brother, although doing things well should be Yes, but don't tire yourself out, your body is important, you know?" When the son came back this time, his body seemed to be in poor condition, and he was a little vain, and Mrs. Shen was a little worried.
"Mother, I just took over, so I will be busy, and it will be fine in a few days."
"Okay, work hard, just come back early."
"Don't worry, mother!"
In the eyes of his family, Shen Wenli worked very hard, but only he knew that he didn't spend much time in the shop, most of the time he went to the casino. At the beginning, he restrained himself a little, after all, he had to behave well, but he was addicted to gambling. After a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore, and slowly began to secretly take money from the jade shop to stop him. At the beginning, he won a lot of money. , he also had a chic life. But for some reason, his luck got worse and worse, and he really wanted to make money, so he took more and more money from the jade shop...
He thought he did it very secretly, but he didn't know that he just broke into a situation.
"Shu'er, your second uncle has been working hard these days. He is a frequent visitor to the gambling shop now, so you plan to look at it like this?" Shen Jingshu had already done it when she decided to let the people in Shen Wenli's room come back. If you are fully prepared, this casino is one of them.
"Hehe, wouldn't it be good to make you more money? Why, why don't you still dislike it?" Smiling, Shen Jingshu only wanted to ask Duan Wang's son for help. Shizi opened his own family.
It seems that she was too worried about everything. How could such a man be tricked by Princess Duan
"Well, that's what you said, but he has already taken a lot of money from your shop, so don't you feel bad?"
"Isn't it all with you? Don't you still make me lose?"
"Okay, so what are you going to do?"
"Money is a trivial matter. My second uncle is betting more and more now. It's time for him to default on the money, isn't it?" It's not enough just to take the money from the shop. That's enough.
"Okay, I see."
"Yuwen, thank you." These days I have gotten closer, Prince Duan refused to let her be called "Shizi" again, and Shen Jingshu had no choice but to make a compromise. weird.
"No thanks, it's better to get rid of them sooner, but don't affect our wedding." Prince Duan was anxious, and that was because their wedding was approaching, and Prince Duan didn't want anything to affect their wedding.
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of these few days, and it will be soon." The thread that has been left for so long, it is time to take it back.
"Okay, then I'll arrange it now, and it will definitely make him owe a lot of debts!"
"Um!"
Duan Wangshizi's efficiency is very fast. When Shen Wenli went to gamble that day, someone arranged for Shen Wenli to win money, and then he started to lose. The more he lost, the more he lost. , I have to make money, but I don't have any money on me, so I was fooled into accepting the usury from the gambling house, so...
Just like this every day, the more you lose, the more angry you feel, and the more angry you are, the more you want to gamble. In the end, I don’t know why. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, "Why don't you want to borrow money?"
"My lord, you have already borrowed too much, you can't borrow any more."
"Are you afraid that I won't pay it back? Give me the money quickly, and I will pay it back soon!" People who are red-eyed, why do they care so much
"This is not in compliance with the rules. Sir, you have already borrowed one hundred thousand taels of silver, far exceeding the amount you can borrow. Sir, please don't make things difficult for us."
"What did you say, one hundred thousand taels? How could I owe so much?" He only remembered that he kept borrowing money, but he never expected that it would be one hundred thousand taels
"Are you extorting money? When did I borrow one hundred thousand taels?" One hundred thousand taels, he couldn't bear the interest alone, how could he afford it
"Master, our gambling shop never does this kind of thing. You signed these IOUs yourself. If you don't believe me, you can take a look for yourself!" Seeing that Shen Wenli didn't believe it, the person in charge immediately took out all the IOUs. Shen Wenli looked at each of them, and it was indeed his own handwriting. He didn't borrow much before, but when his eyes turned red later, the amount became larger. Adding up this way, it was indeed one hundred thousand taels!
Shen Wenli looked at the IOU in his hand with trembling hands. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his whole body broke out in a cold sweat. "This, this is not true? How did I borrow so much?"
"Master, you signed these yourself. You keep borrowing them, so why aren't there so many?" Seeing Shen Wenli like this, the face of the person in charge immediately changed, "Master, don't you want to deny it?" After finishing speaking, there were a few more big men beside Shen Wenli immediately, each of them was very sturdy, and the eyes on their faces were also a little scary to look at.
"You, what are you going to do?"
"Second Master Shen, if you refuse to admit your debt, our gambling shop will naturally not be that foolish. The reason why we lent you so much money is for the sake of the Shen family. If you refuse to admit your debt, Second Master Shen, Then of course we won’t be polite.”
"What are you going to do?"
"It's a matter of course to pay back the debt. Master Shen, what do you think we will do?" Smiling, Shen Wenli immediately felt the pressure from those big men. Looking at the sturdy fat of those people, Shen Wenli He immediately swallowed his saliva, "Don't act recklessly, I, I am the second master of the Shen family, be careful that I will report to the official!"
"Second Master Shen wants to report to the official? Then you have to think clearly, which side will the official stand with this black and white paper?" After putting away the IOUs one by one, the man's face immediately changed when he looked at Shen Wenli. "The IOUs are all clearly and plainly written. It was agreed at the beginning, and you agreed to the five-cent interest, Mr. Shen Er. This is going to the yamen, and we are justified, Shen Er Master, you have to think clearly!"
"You guys, this is deceiving me!"
"How is this a deception? When I wrote the IOU, I told Master Shen Er everything. Master Shen Er has gambled so boldly in my gambling shop these days and borrowed so much. We all look at Shen Er I borrowed it for the family's face, and the second master Shen does not accept it now, but we will come to ask for it!"
"You, you!"
"Second Master Shen, one more day is just an extra interest. Second Master Shen should hurry up and find a way to pay back the money, otherwise it will make everyone look bad!"
…
Why didn't Shen Wenli know how he borrowed so much money in a muddle? There were a lot of people in the gambling shop, and the people who guarded the gambling shop were really scary. Shen Wenli didn't dare to say anything. In the end, he only said that he would pay back the money immediately, and left in a hurry.
But where would he get the one hundred thousand taels of silver
He hurriedly went back to the jade store to check the accounts, and Shen Wenli found sadly that he had taken away all the money that could be taken by him on the account. If he took it again, it would arouse people's suspicion. What should we do
One hundred thousand taels, this is not a small amount, and Shen Wenli did not dare to tell Mrs. Shen, for fear that Mrs. Shen would be completely disappointed in him and kick him out, that would be bad!
After thinking about it, Shen Wenli had no choice but to go back and discuss this matter with Guo Yuanshuang, and see what he could do then!
But when he went back, Guo Yuanshuang saw him go out early and return late these days, and had already had a problem, "Master, did you go to gamble again? Why did you come back so late these days?" After gambling, the family situation is very miserable, Guo Yuanshuang has nothing to do with Shen Wenli, but now that she is back, she will not allow Shen Wenli to gamble again, so as not to cause bad things!
"Where do I go, do you care? Really!" Originally, he wanted to tell Guo Yuanshuang about this matter, but he also knew that Guo Yuanshuang was very disgusted with his gambling. I had to ask how much money Guo Yuanshuang had at home? However, Guo Yuanshuang never thought that Guo Yuanshuang's reaction would be too big, "Sir, don't you know how much money you have at home? When we came back, we sold everything we could. Now that we are in the capital, many things need to be paid." How much money do you have left?"
"Don't fool me, the old house is worth a few silver when I bought it, not to mention that the concubines in the family are not bad looking, and those fields, why are they not silver? Tell me how much there is. !" Those loan sharks in the casino are terrifying, and Shen Wenli knows that this matter cannot be delayed, otherwise it will be more and more delayed, and it will be troublesome at that time!
