Yu Qian likes cockfighting and bird fighting, which is actually nothing, as many people in the capital like it.
Some time ago, Yu Qian got a good rooster. According to the seller, this chicken is very fierce and can fight several roosters at once. This breed is a exotic species from the far west and the price is not expensive. Yu Qian liked it the moment he saw it and was determined to buy it.
He didn't have enough money at the moment, and Manager Lu happened to be there, so he lent him some.
He didn't take it seriously at the time. In the past, when he took a fancy to this kind of chicken or bird, it was not a big deal. He would just buy it. Even if he had to borrow a little money from the store, he would pay it back quickly.
Yu was very satisfied with the money. Not only did she receive silver bills during the New Year and other festivals, but she also received some every quarter.
Yu Qianyuan was waiting for the money from Yu to pay it back, but he just kept putting it off.
He was indeed satisfied with the chicken, and it helped him win many games. He had more money on hand, and he was very excited for a while. Later, when he was fighting with others, he was instigated to make a big bet. Unexpectedly, something went wrong this time. The chicken that had never lost actually lost, and he owed a large sum of money all of a sudden.
How could he not be panicked when such a large sum of money was lost? If the previous debt was nothing, the next one was really a big blow, and he lost everything.
He had always won before, so he never expected to lose this time. Almost all his fortune was lost. Afterwards, he had no choice but to ask Manager Lu for a loan again.
Shopkeeper Lu had always had a good relationship with him and had borrowed money from him in the past, but he never took it seriously. When he couldn't take it out at the moment, he took out the payment for the goods, thinking that it would only take a few days. As long as his wife was around, she would always lend him money no matter what.
However, they didn't expect that it would rain when the time came, something happened at the Qu Mansion, Yu was "sick" and had been missing for a long time, and Yu Qian tried everything but to no avail.
The one in charge now is the Third Miss. Although she is Yu's biological daughter, she was not familiar with these people in the past. At most, she had seen them from afar when she was listening in. How could she dare to really bring this matter to the Third Miss? These people did not look like they were easy to mess with.
Yu Qian also wanted to pay back the money, but he didn't expect that the situation would get worse and worse. He was chased for debt so urgently that he even borrowed money from a loan shark. His purpose was to delay it for a while, and then cry for help when he saw Yu, so that he could get through this hurdle temporarily.
But things were going further and further away from their imagination. Yu had not shown up and the situation was becoming more and more urgent. Not only were the debt collectors coming to their door, but the loan sharks were also coming. No matter how you looked at it, this matter was going to be troublesome.
Yu Qian was so anxious that his head was about to explode. When he went to Qu's house, he secretly asked the maid to pass a message to Yu, but there was no news until now. Instead, he met the shopkeeper Lu who was collecting debts. He was really at a loss now and didn't know where to get the money.
All the other houses in the family have been sold, leaving only the yard where they live. The money for the goods in the store has also been used up, and there have been no new goods in a long time. Even when customers come to the store, some regular customers would ask why there are no new products, as they are all things they have seen before and are not pleasing to the eye.
After a few drinks, Yu Qian was worried and got drunk even more easily. His eyes became wandering and he fell directly onto the table.
In a daze, he saw the door open and it turned out to be a maid-like woman. Seeing the familiar clothes, Yu Qian became excited and stood up with the help of the table: "Yes...it was the lady who asked you to come."
of?"
Could it be that the lady finally got news about him and wanted to save him
Even though he was drunk, Yu Qian could see clearly that the dress was one of the servants' clothes in the Qu Mansion, and it was custom-made in his own shop. The material used was a kind of Jiangnan material that the family had specially ordered, and the pattern and color were also specially specified.
"Shopkeeper Yu... Madam... I want you to go for a while... Take the purchase account book..." The maid in front of him seemed far away, but not too far away. Her voice also sounded continuous and could not be heard clearly. Yu Qian deeply hated himself for drinking before. At this time, he had to concentrate all his energy to listen to the voice, but he still felt that he could not hear clearly.
"The purchase... the purchase is not in the hands of Madam... Madam?" Yu Qian said in a daze, with a big tongue.
"They're not the ones in Madam's hand, but the ones from the earliest times." Yu Chun looked at the staggering Yu Qian with disgust and said, this guy is really so drunk that he is unrecognizable as the young lady said.
"The earliest ones? Where is that?" Yu Qian didn't understand what Yu Chun was talking about. His brain turned slowly and he answered with difficulty.
"Don't you have the purchase account book when you first took over?" Yuchun said.
"What...what do you need this for?" Yu Qian stuttered, a little unsteady on his feet. He felt that the maid from the Qu Mansion was also spinning in front of him, and everything in front of him was blurry.
"Madam wants to investigate some matters. The fourth young lady has returned home now, and Madam is afraid there may be some disputes." Yuchun said. These words were taught by the young lady, so she was able to ask them easily.
“What…what can happen? She was originally Madam’s… Fourth Miss and…what does she have to do with our Yu family… Madam, don’t…worry…” The figure in front of Yu Qian’s eyes began to sway even more, “Madam…I…want to borrow some money…”
"Madam has been ill recently... She can't afford anything for the time being, so you might as well sell the store. It just so happens that the fourth young lady is going to cause trouble for Madam, so selling the store will save her trouble." Yuchun said.
"Sell... sell the store?" Yu Qian's tongue became even bigger. For a moment, he really felt that he was drunk. Why did he turn to this topic? Wasn't he talking about the account book? He was just asking for the account book. Now he wanted to sell the store in a while. Can this store be sold
"Yes, Madam's current situation is not very good... Fourth Miss is causing trouble again... There are account books and stores. It would be better to sell off a few good ones temporarily, so that Fourth Miss won't be entangled in this matter." Yuchun waved her hand.
“Fourth… Fourth Miss, what…what does this store have to do with Fourth Miss…” Even though he was drunk, Yu Qian still didn’t understand. This was Madam’s store, what did it have to do with Fourth Miss Qu who had just returned
“This is not Madam’s shop, it’s the former Madam’s… it’s Fourth Miss Qu’s…” Yu Chun’s voice was sometimes near and sometimes far in his ears. Yu Qian nodded his dull head and understood. This should be the dowry of the former Madam Qu and should be passed on to Fourth Miss Qu. Madam had occupied it before, and now Fourth Miss Qu wanted it. Madam couldn’t take care of herself at the moment, and she couldn’t help him. She asked him to sell the shop first to solve the problem temporarily.
This must be the case. My wife is really good to me.
Yu Qian was so moved that his eyes were red. He had begged and pleaded for help in the past few days, but to no avail.
Solve the problem. The lady's words immediately gave him hope.
“Thank…thank…madam…” Yu Ran shook his head, trying hard to wake himself up.
Unfortunately, he was so drunk that he was dizzy and weak. He only saw the maid say something to him, then put down a purse and left.
Yu Qian staggered over, picked up the purse, sat heavily on the ground again, and then fell asleep leaning against the corner.
Yuchun calmly withdrew and went to the next private room, "Miss, I have done it."
"Let's go!" Qu Moying nodded and stood up. The master and servant left the private room, went downstairs, and left the teahouse.
After leaving the teahouse, Qu Moying saw someone coming out of the gold jewelry store next to the clothing store. He was stunned for a moment. It was the maid Chunxiu. Not only did she come over, but she also came over with a woman who looked like a young lady. A large veil covered everything, and only the woman's slender figure could be seen.
It looks like the outfit she wore when she pretended to be Miss Liu. Is there something going on here
Qu Moying turned around calmly and took Yuchun to the alley beside the teahouse. It was not convenient for her to go out at this time, so it was better for her to hide first.
Yuchun didn't see it at first and wanted to say something, but suddenly she saw Chunxiu and immediately reacted. She reached out to help Qu Moying, and the two of them hurried into the alley.
Sure enough, the next moment, a large carriage was seen parked in front of the gold jewelry shop, and King Jing Pei Yusheng appeared in front of the carriage. He seemed to have just seen the woman with the veil hat, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute politely, and stopped in front of the woman. Unless he went around him, there was no way he could get away.
Then, it seemed that Pei Yusheng was inviting her intentionally, and the woman refused reluctantly, not moving her feet.
The two of them were talking together and blocking the road in the middle. Especially since one of them was King Jing, it was very eye-catching and it was impossible not to be seen.
The woman seemed to feel uncomfortable and agreed reluctantly, then followed King Jing away, as if she wanted to walk on the street together.
"Miss, does King Jing really like Miss Liu?" Yu Chun asked curiously, sticking her head out from behind her.
It looked strange that they came to the street to stop people in such a blatant manner. Qu Moying nodded: "It looks like it, but wasn't His Royal Highness Prince Jing very polite in the past? Why is he so anxious now?"
"Is it urgent? I think it's okay!" Yuchun asked puzzledly, and looked ahead again. The couple was walking slowly and did not seem to be in a hurry at all. At this time, they had already gone far away, and she was not afraid of being seen, so she walked out of the alley and poked her head forward again.
"A bit anxious!" Qu Moying nodded thoughtfully, intuitively feeling that Pei Yusheng's attitude was different from last time.
The last time they met, Pei Yusheng was very polite, but now he seems much more anxious and rude. Is it because of Qu Caiyue's matter
"He should be anxious!" A low and lazily voice came from behind.
Qu Moying turned around subconsciously and found that there were quite a few people standing beside him without him noticing. The first one was none other than the extremely murderous Prince of Yun, Pei Yuanjun!
But... what a coincidence!
