Su Jinghe glanced at Cui Shaoxi in surprise, then at Fang Qing, and said, "Why didn't I hear that? Ten thousand taels is not a small amount. What are you going to do, Qing'er?" He said with a flattering smile: "Of course, I support whatever you do."
Fang Qing rolled his eyes at him, and whispered: "It doesn't matter if you support it or not!"
Su Jinghe just laughed, as if the more he was robbed by his wife, the happier he would be.
Fang Qing secretly sighed in her heart, even though it was so, since Cui Shaoxi heard it and asked again, she couldn't help it if she didn't want to, so she said: "It's not what I want to do, it's my cousin who wants to borrow it."
Cui Shaoxi and Su Jinghe were taken aback, their eyes widened.
Su Jinghe touched his forehead, then smiled and said "Oh", without saying much.
Lian Fangzhou nervously watched Su Jinghe's expression, if his expression changed to show disapproval, then it would be more difficult for her to borrow it! After all, ten thousand taels is not a small amount, even if he didn't know it at the moment, Fang Qing would definitely discuss it with him, maybe even ask the master and wife of the Su family!
Seeing that Su Jinghe didn't show any displeasure and refusal, Cui Shaoxi was only surprised, and half of her heart was secretly put down.
Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Borrowing money is really not an easy job!
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 what we just said! Say what you think, it doesn't matter!"
Su Jinghe smiled and said, "Yes, yes, your cousin is right! You should discuss this with her!"
Lian Fangzhou was grateful and said, "Thank you, cousin-in-law!" Then she said to Fang Qing: "Just now my cousin asked me what I want to do with the loan. I want to buy land, hire people, and grow cotton. I don't know if my cousin heard about it. Unexpectedly, this year Yuhe County is also among the county towns selected by the imperial court to promote potatoes and cotton, I want to try it!"
Fang Qing naturally heard about such a big thing, so she nodded and said, "I've heard about it too! However, I've never seen these potatoes and cotton before, and I couldn't find out if I asked people What is it, I put it aside and don't care anymore, after all, it has nothing to do with our family! Have you heard of it? Why do you have such an idea?"
Lian Fangzhou said: "I haven't heard of it, but didn't sweet potatoes gradually spread in the past few years? It's just that the promotion of sweet potatoes is not mandatory! I just thought, the court will definitely not lie ! As for potatoes, there are already sweet potatoes, which may not be able to make money. I heard that cotton can be used to make clothes, so it may be an opportunity, so I want to give it a try!"
"The little girl is quite courageous, but you are thinking too simply, right? If you don't succeed, what will you do?" Cui Shaoxi couldn't help but said.
Lian Fangzhou heard him call herself a "little girl", resisted the urge to rush up and beat him up, and said: "I think this thing is worth a try, even if it doesn't work, it won't hurt too much! At least the place where I bought it is there, Ten thousand taels of silver at most two to three years, I can afford it."
"I didn't mean that! Don't get me wrong!" Cui Shaoxi didn't expect Lian Fangzhou to say that, she was a little anxious and embarrassed, her face turned red, and she glanced at Fang Qing in embarrassment.
Lian Fangzhou clearly meant that he was afraid that she would not be able to explain it to the 10,000 taels! It's not that she borrowed money from him, isn't this explanation insinuating that he's overstepping the mark
Cui Shaoxi has always been a laid-back temperament, informal and suave, and he has never seen him being embarrassed or embarrassing. Su Jinghe was stunned for a moment, Fang Qing couldn't help but giggled, and asked Lian Fangzhou: "Cousin has thought it over and definitely wants to try it? You can imagine that since the cotton is something you have never seen before, I don't know if there is any special attention to planting, can you really handle it?"
Cui Shaoxi saw that Fang Qing clearly made fun of him, and felt even more embarrassed, and a little bit frustrated and annoyed, thinking that this little girl is really hateful, and the two of them might not know how to make fun of me afterwards!
Embarrassed and anxious, he was in a hurry to save some face, and when his brain got hot, he said, "Isn't it just ten thousand taels of silver? I'll lend it to you! If you make a profit, you pay it back, and if you lose it, don't pay it back!"
Lian Fangzhou glanced at him unhappily, and said coolly: "I am not related to Mr. Cui, so how can I borrow Mr. Cui's money? Mr. Cui's kindness is appreciated!"
Cui Shaoxi didn't expect that he would be disgusted if he offered to help her. He opened his mouth, too aggrieved to say a word.
Since he was a child, when did he receive this kind of treatment
Su Jinghe laughed out loud, overjoyed, gloated, and said with a smile: "I said Minzhi, you have today!"
He thought his wife, the cousin, was really interesting, so he smiled at his wife, "Qing'er, I think what my cousin said is quite reasonable, so let's borrow the ten thousand taels of silver!"
Fang Qing smiled and did not answer him, but looked at Lian Fangzhou, waiting for her answer.
Far from being angry and unhappy, Lian Fangzhou was secretly grateful. Fang Qing didn't agree like a child's play, which was a respect for her.
Lian Fangzhou nodded and said: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, I have thought through all the concerns that my cousin said, I want to give it a try!"
"Well, since that's the case, we'll lend you the 10,000 taels!" Fang Qing glanced at Su Jinghe and said to Lian Fangzhou with a smile.
Lian Fangzhou was overjoyed immediately, and Lian Ze's eyes lit up. The siblings hurriedly got up and thanked Fang Qing and Su Jinghe with a smile.
"Don't be too polite!" Fang Qing said with a smile: "Since you said borrow, then we will borrow. We are relatives, so I won't talk about interest, and I don't care when you pay it back. In short, you remember That's it!"
"Our cousin and cousin's husband trust us so much, we are very grateful! The money will definitely be repaid!" Lian Fangzhou said with a smile.
Fang Qing nodded with a smile, and stopped entangled with it, and said with a smile: "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 said with a smile: "Cousin is so kind, let's do it next time! Qing'er and Che'er are still at home, I'm not at ease!"
"But it's really late today. Even if you go back, it will be dark in Yuhe County at most! Why don't you just stay with me for one night, and I'll send you a carriage to take you back tomorrow morning?" Fang Qing said with a smile : "My cousins, if you refuse again, you will see me!"
Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze had no choice but to agree.
Fang Qing smiled at Li Ma: "Later, you will arrange the guest room yourself, and come over to have dinner together! By the way, there is another person who will come with you—"
