I traveled through time and became an unmarried mother-to-be, others are farming and I am enjoying t

The next day, early in the morning, the breeze was gentle and the morning light was shining. When Yuanchu Yiyi woke up, he found that he was still lying in Xiao Jing's arms with his pillow on his arms. In the past few days, she had slept deeper and deeper every night. In the past, when Xiao Jing came back at night or got up early, she would wake up at the slightest movement, but these days she didn't notice it at all.

Xiao Jing noticed that she was awake, so he opened his eyes and looked at her, kissed her forehead, "If you still want to sleep, just sleep a little longer!"

Yuan Chuyi shook his head and stood up, "You don't have to go to court today?"

Xiao Jing also sat up, took clothes from the bedside shelf and put them on for her. He said, "I have taken leave from the emperor. I will stay with you at home today, and I will leave for the Wulin League tomorrow. What do I want to do today? I’m all here with you!”

As soon as Yuanchu thought about his promise to Shiliu yesterday that he would take a few of them to invite Yuelou for a big meal today, he immediately told Xiao Jing about it.

"I'll ask them to go to Yaoyue Tower to make a reservation soon."

After the two got up, they had their children brought over, and the family had breakfast together. Then they played with the children, reading to them the Thousand-Character Classic and telling them stories. The family of four had a great time.

On the canal pier, Boss Mo was waiting anxiously in the crowd for Yuan Hongjie to deliver the cloth to him. It had been almost two minutes since the appointment was made, but no one had come yet to deliver the cloth.

While he was anxious, he finally saw Yuan Hongjie leading someone to deliver the cloth in a cart.

"Ouch, Brother Yuan, why are you here? If you don't come, the ship will be sailing, and I won't be able to transport this cloth back on time!"

Boss Mo couldn't help but complain.

"Sorry, sorry, we were delayed on the way. I'll have someone carry the cloth onto the boat for you. It won't delay Brother Mo's schedule!" Yuan Hongjie said with an apologetic smile.

The reason why he came late was because the shopkeeper Zhou had a quarrel with him in the morning. Shopkeeper Zhou did not agree with him selling these cloths to Boss Mo before the date agreed with Boss Zhao passed.

Although Mr. Zhao had to hand over the cloth to Boss Mo in the end, after all, these cloths were originally ordered by Boss Zhao for their dyeing shop, and he also paid a deposit of half the price and signed a contract. According to the contract, these cloths are still It belongs to Boss Zhao.

Shopkeeper Zhou felt that Yuan Hongjie was not only unethical in dealing with the buyer behind his back, but also dishonest and broke the contract without permission. If word of this gets out, their Taihe Dyeing Shop will not have any credibility at all, and how will they be able to do business in the future!

But Yuan Hongjie disagrees. Anyway, Boss Zhao may have died. This batch of cloth is still suppressed. The sooner you sell the funds, the sooner you will withdraw them. Money is safest only if you hold it in your own hands. !

After the two had a big fight, shopkeeper Zhou was full of disappointment, angrily resigned from his position as shopkeeper, and left Taihefang. He is a craftsman. He is skilled in his craftsmanship and has no worries about finding work wherever he goes.

Yuan Hongjie didn't take his departure seriously. He felt that without him, Shopkeeper Zhou, there were still so many workers under him. These workers were all old people who had worked in their family for many years. Not to mention the printing and dyeing techniques, they all came from Shopkeeper Zhou. You have learned it, but at least you have learned a few things and you can take the lead and do the work yourself. Therefore, he did not try to persuade shopkeeper Zhou to leave. After shopkeeper Zhou left, he immediately asked someone to load the cloth to the dock, but he hurriedly and slowly arrived, but he was still two quarters of an hour late.

"Brother Mo, which cabin do you want to put these in? I'll have someone move it up for you!" Yuan Hongjie asked.

Boss Mo smiled and said, "No need, the Cao Gang has regulations that all goods on board must be carried by their boatmen! You first unload the cloth and put it here, count it, and I will ask their boatmen to carry it on the boat later."

"Okay!"

Yuan Hongjie immediately asked people to unload the goods, and then counted the number of pieces of cloth with Boss Mo. After confirming that the number of pieces of cloth was correct and that the colors were correct, Boss Mo took out a two thousand tael of silver notes and handed it to him. The two were happy After successfully completing the transaction of handing over the money and delivering the goods, both parties were happy, and he took everyone back to the dyeing workshop with great joy.

Boss Mo looked at Yuan Hongjie's leaving figure, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Greedy people... will pay the price after all."

As soon as he finished speaking, several porters appeared nearby. Seeing that Yuan Hongjie and others had disappeared into the sea of ​​people, they immediately loaded the cloth into the car they brought and transported it back to the city.

Yuan Hongjie hurried back to the city with the payment. After returning home, he immediately asked Yuan Honghao and several other students to have a meal at Yaoyuelou to celebrate Yuan Honghao. Yuan Honghao is also full of confidence in this major examination and believes that he will definitely be on the list this time.

Unexpectedly, a few people came outside the Yaoyue Tower and saw the carriage from Prince An also arriving outside the Yaoyue Tower. Xiao Jing and Yuan Chuyi got off the carriage, and Yuan Mochen and others also got off the carriage behind. Seeing this, they could only step aside like the others and let Xiao Jing and others go in first.

When Yuan Mochen passed by Yuan Hongjie and others, his eyes turned extremely cold when he looked at them, and his hands clenched into fists again without realizing it. Seeing him like this, Li Qiaozhen couldn't help but step forward and hold his hand. Yuan Mochen looked at her, then at Yuan Chuyi in front of him, then slowly loosened his fists, and followed them into the restaurant.

Yuan Hongjie looked at Yuan Chuyi's back with a sneer on his lips.

"On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, it doesn't matter that you are Princess An, your life is only left in the last ten days!" He thought to himself, and couldn't help but said "poof" to the side, and then led Yuan Hong Hao and others went into the restaurant.

Xiao Jing and Yuan Chuyi took fifteen and sixteen others into the private room and sat down. Xiao Jing immediately asked people to serve the dishes. They had already ordered the dishes when they made the reservation, but now they can be served as soon as they arrive.

"Mo Chen has finished the exam. No matter how he did or whether he was on the list or not, he has worked hard these days and deserves a reward!" Yuan Chuyi said with a smile.

Xiao Jing also nodded in agreement, picked up the wine glass, "Here, let's have a drink!"

Yuan Mochen also picked up his wine glass, clinked a glass with him, and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's just dinner, drink less!" Yuan Chuyi said.

"Yes, listen to my wife. When you go out, drink less and eat more!" Xiao Jing said with a smile.

"Then eat more!" Yuan Chuyi brought him some food, and the people at the table ate their lunch with laughter.

In another private room, Yuan Hongjie was also having dinner with Yuan Honghao and others. There was a knock on the door of the private room, and a waiter came in, "Master Yuan, you are looking for someone."

"Master, it's not good, it's not good!" A waiter from Taihe Dyeing Shop hurried into the private room and said out of breath.

"What's wrong? It depends on what you said. Your master, I'm fine! Really, even a meal can't make me feel comfortable!" Yuan Hongjie said angrily, rolling his eyes at the waiter, "You're in such a hurry to find me. , what’s the matter, tell me quickly!”

The waiter swallowed his breath, let himself breathe slowly, and pointed in the direction of the dyeing workshop, "Zhao, Boss Zhao, is here to pick up the goods!"

"What!" Yuan Hongjie was shocked, and the bowls and chopsticks in his hands suddenly crashed to the ground and shattered to pieces, "Which boss Zhao?" he asked in disbelief.

……

The waiter didn't expect his boss to be so forgetful, "That's the boss Zhao Bingzhao who dyes cloth!" He could only remind him in a low voice, glanced at Yuan Hongjie timidly, and then lowered his head, "But he Those pieces of cloth, you... have already... sold... to me this morning!"

Yuan Hongjie's face suddenly turned pale and he stood up in a loud voice, "Isn't it time for him to die?"

The clerk shook his head in confusion, "Young man, I don't know! I just saw that his face was a little pale and his body didn't seem to be in good condition, but he was still alive! He, he was waiting for us to hand over his confession. Please go back and see us. Him!"

Yuan Hongjie sat down irritably, "Tell him I'm not at home!"

The waiter glanced at him and was very dissatisfied, but he just dared to be angry and dare not say anything. This boss always wanted to escape when something happened, and wanted to let the people below them take the responsibility.

"I told you, but he said that if you can't get the cloth today, he will go to the government to sue you and the dye house!"

The guy had to tell the truth.

"Oh! I'm so annoyed! Why isn't this person who clearly deserves death not dead yet?" He got up irritably and went out to the dyeing workshop. Yuan Honghao and others didn't know what happened and followed him back without caring about eating.

Yuan Hongjie led his waiters and Yuan Honghao and others to the dyeing workshop in a hurry. As expected, he saw the pale Zhao Bing and his servant waiting for him in the dyeing workshop.

"Boss Yuan, I came to pick up the goods as promised, but I didn't know you dyed the cloth as promised?" Zhao Bing gasped.

Yuan Hongjie looked at Zhao Bing's terminally ill appearance, calmed down, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhao, didn't I hear that you had an emergency these days and got seriously ill? Why don't you recover first before picking up the goods? I am still holding on despite my illness, but what should I do if my condition worsens?"

Zhao Bing smiled and said, "Oh, I'm really sick. I suddenly fell ill for some reason a few days ago. I saw many doctors and took a lot of medicine, but it didn't feel better. Thanks to me, little guy. He has been running around for me for the past few days, and finally met a kind-hearted miracle doctor. He not only gave me the right medicine, but also lent me money to get the medicine. Only then can I survive until today. My wife also got the information and came from Jiangnan. This is not , I rushed to pick up the goods as soon as I got the money, because I was afraid that Boss Yuan would be impatient and say that I had broken the promise!"

Yuan Hongjie couldn't help but look at the young man with his eyes. He thought he had left his master and ran away, but unexpectedly he went to visit a famous doctor to find help.

"Brother Zhao, to be honest, there is something wrong with the batch of cloth you customized!"

"Something went wrong!" Zhao Bing suddenly became anxious, and his pale face became even paler, "What went wrong! Boss Yuan, I made an agreement with the customer to deliver the goods today. If you can't deliver the goods, When the goods arrive, I will pay them liquidated damages, and you will also pay mine!" He took out their contract documents from his arms and slapped them on the table, "We wrote them clearly in black and white."

"Liquidated damages!" Yuan Hongjie looked at Zhao Bing and the boy and sneered, his eyes became fierce, "You two masters and servants are like this, and you still want to ask me for liquidated damages! If you two outsiders die in No one should know this!"

Seeing the contract that Zhao Bing sold, he immediately remembered that the agreement between them was that if either party broke the contract, it would pay five times the deposit as liquidated damages. If he breached the contract, in addition to paying liquidated damages, he would also have to return the deposit. , this adds up to fifteen thousand taels of silver!

The 5,000 taels that were paid to Yuan Chuyi last time so that the family could go out had to be collected by selling all the shops in the family. With their family's current situation, they would not be able to get the fifteen thousand taels of silver together even if they sold things. Looking at the weak master and servant in front of him, he couldn't help but feel murderous intention.

When the servant heard what Yuan Hongjie said, he couldn't help but immediately came out and stood in front of his master, "Boss Yuan, you, don't you want to kill our master and servant!"

"This is my territory, so why not kill you!" Yuan Hongjie looked around and saw that they were all his men. They all agreed and gathered around with sticks.

Zhao Bing stood up and protected the young man behind him with his backhand, "The Yuan family is indeed a despicable and shameless person who is greedy for money. Fortunately, I reported it to the official in advance!"

As he spoke, he high-fived a few times, and as expected, a group of government officials rushed in from outside with knives, "Who dares to commit evil here?"

As soon as the men saw the menacing government officials, they immediately dropped the sticks in their hands and took a few steps back. Yuan Hongjie's face suddenly turned pale.

Zhao Ying looked at Yuan Hongjie with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Boss Yuan, I don't care about your threats to me, but if you can't deliver the goods, you won't pay me liquidated damages. I'll see you at the Yamen." !" After saying that, he put away his contract, turned around and went out with the boy in high spirits, and there was still a bit of the morbidity of a patient.

"Take away!" The head catcher waved his hand, and a group of policemen behind him immediately went up to escort Yuan Hongjie back to the Yamen.

The contract document between the two was clearly written in black and white, and the Yamen directly sentenced Yuan Hongjie to pay Zhao Bing fifteen thousand taels of silver as agreed without further review. When Yuan Hongjie couldn't get it out, he was immediately imprisoned and his family was asked to pay off the money before he could get out.

Yuan Wenjing was drinking tea and chatting with several old friends at this time, looking for connections for Yuan Honghao's future. Since the last time his family was able to successfully escape from prison, he knew that he still had some affection for the emperor. It seemed that finding a good job for Yuan Honghao was not a problem. His old colleagues also saw some clues from that incident, and now they all betrayed him and agreed to help Yuan Honghao.

"Old Master!"

When he came out of the teahouse, he saw his servant and the housekeeper waiting anxiously outside.

"Old man, something happened at home. I was in business and couldn't pay back the money I owed. I was put in jail. The government is waiting for you to go back and deal with it! If you don't deal with it, our house will be auctioned to pay off the debt. !”

"What!" Yuan Wenjing was shocked, "What kind of business does this brat do? How much money does he owe me!"

"It's about the last batch of one thousand pieces of silk and satin business. Boss Zhao recovered from his illness and came to pick up the goods as promised today. He couldn't deliver the goods and even killed people indiscriminately. Now Boss Zhao has sued the government!"

"My family is unfortunate! My family is unfortunate!"

Yuan Wenjing had no choice but to go home in a hurry, and sure enough he saw people from the government waiting at home to ask for money.

"Several officials, could you please be accommodating for a few days while I raise the money?"

"Old Master Yuan, you have been a high official. You know what trust is and what righteousness is. You should know how Mr. Yuan behaves like this." The official said, looking at Yuan Wenjing, "My lord said, I will give you two days." You have time to raise the money, and the money should be brought to the Yamen to pay it in the morning at the latest. If you don’t pay it by then, then we will have to use your property to pay off the debt!"
