Chapter 233 The debt collector is outside
"You are so lucky! Our general hasn't eaten yet, but you ate first." The maid who was sitting over there and making the fire said with a smile.
Nangong Rui, who had almost finished a piece of cake, suddenly froze in his tracks, not knowing whether he should continue eating or not...
"Guihua is right. I asked you to try the saltiness. If it's okay, continue to make it for the general." Su Jixiang said.
Just one sentence resolved Nangong Rui's embarrassment.
"It's delicious, just the right amount of saltiness!" Nangong Rui said quickly. He quickly stuffed the last bite into his mouth, then stood with his hands hanging down.
I have to say, the lady's craftsmanship is as exquisite as the rumors say.
Nangong Rui lowered his head and tried hard to swallow the pie, but the last bite was a bit too big...
"Have some water." Seeing this, Guihua poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.
Nangong Rui quickly took it and took a big sip, which was considered to have swallowed the cake.
"Thank you." He drank the water in the cup and stood with his hands hanging down again.
How should I talk to my wife?
Nangong Rui was thinking about it, but Su Jixiang spoke first.
"You came so early, I guess you have thought about what I told you last night." Su Jixiang asked with a smile.
There was freshly made ice in the pot and the oil was sizzling.
"Yes, ma'am. I think your suggestion is very good." Nangong Rui hurriedly bowed and said, "Rui is willing to sell himself to the General's Mansion for fifteen years."
"That would be the best." Su Jixiang nodded, and said to the outside, "Weidong, go get the indenture."
There was a response from outside, and soon Wei Dong pushed the door open and came in, holding paper, pen, inkstone and red ink in his hand.
"The indenture is right here. Take a look at it yourself. If you think it's okay, sign it yourself. I'll go to the government office to change the seal, and the deal will be done. I'll pay you seven hundred and fifty taels directly." Su Jixiang said.
"Yes." Nangong Rui just glanced at it and signed and sealed it directly.
"Weidong, take it to the government office. Come back quickly, the pancakes can be baked very quickly." Su Jixiang said to Weidong.
"Okay!" Wei Dong stretched his head to take a look into the pot, then quickly ran away holding the indenture contract.
"Does everyone in the family eat this?" Nangong Rui asked a little puzzled.
"You're lucky! You sold yourself to our family." Lu Shui said with a smile, "At home, we all eat with the Madam and the General. We eat whatever the Master eats."
There was a hint of disbelief on Nangong Rui's face.
Not to mention that the general and Su Jixiang are the masters, even in their homes, the food they eat on weekdays is different.
Every time he went home, there were a few dishes prepared specifically for his father and mother, which he could not eat.
Even if he brought back good things, it would not be his turn.
Every time he wanted to get some, his parents would say that there were many people at home and asked him to make way...
He always gave in...
It seems that compared to home, this place is more like a family...
Wei Dong ran so fast that Nangong Rui didn't even have time to wait before Wei Dong came back.
The indenture had been stamped with the government seal and was made in duplicate. One copy had been kept by the government, and the next copy would be kept by Su Jixiang.
"Weidong, after you have breakfast, take Wei Feng, Wei Jing and this indenture contract and go back with him. After he has explained things to his family, you can bring them back. I have spent 750 taels of silver, and we cannot lose them. Do you understand?" Su Jixiang said to Weidong.
Wei Dong glanced at Nangong Rui and said with a smile, "I understand! Don't worry, Madam!"
The lady wanted him not to lose the person. It was obvious that she was afraid that Nangong Rui would get into trouble, so she asked them to follow.
An hour later, Wei Dong brought Wei Feng and Wei Jing and followed Nangong Rui to the small courtyard that Nangong's family temporarily rented.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard all kinds of noises mixed with the crying of children.
"Enough! You're howling so early in the morning. What are you doing? It's already so late and breakfast isn't on the table yet!" Nangong Tian's irritable voice was heard, suppressing the other noises.
"Hey, old man, why are you yelling? There are some leftovers from last night. Just heat them up." Wang's voice came one after another.
“These little brats just cry and cry!” Nangong Tian cursed, “They’re crying so early in the morning. No wonder my luck is so bad. It’s all because of these little bastards!”
"That's enough. Stop talking!" Wang said. "Why don't you guys go and heat up the food?"
Nangong Rui listened outside for a moment and suddenly felt his heart tighten.
He took a deep breath, motioned Weidong and the others to wait outside, and he pushed the door open and went in.
"You little brat, you still remember to come back." Nangong Tian couldn't help but mock Nangong Rui as soon as he saw him, "What's wrong? Are you hungry? Did you remember to go home for dinner? Where did you go to fool around all night?"
"Dad, does what you said yesterday count?" Nangong Rui asked slowly without responding to Nangong Tian's words.
"What are you talking about? I talked too much yesterday!" Nangong Tian snorted coldly and said deliberately.
"If I can come up with five hundred taels, you will let me go." Nangong Rui said calmly.
This wasn't the first time his father had acted like a rogue, and he was used to it, so he would just tell everyone if there was anything.
“Haha, how come you, little bastard, produced five hundred taels of silver in one night?” Nangong Tian sneered, “Sure, if you give it to me, I will divide the family property, but you can’t take a single cent, and you will be removed from the family tree!”
money?
Nangong Rui couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. Is there any money left in this family? Even if his biased mother hid some, it would never be his.
There might be people they miss, but definitely not him!
"Then let's sign the contract first." Nangong Rui took out paper and pen. The paper, pen and inkstone were also brought to him by Weidong.
He found a table and sat down, adding some water from the table into the inkstone. The water was cold. The inkstone and the ink block had been frozen outside for some time, and it took a while before the ink came out.
He picked up the pen and wrote down everything he had said before, then handed the pen to Nangong Tian, "Dad, please sign it."
"What kind of nonsense do you want your father to sign?" Nangong Tian snorted coldly, without even looking at it, "I won't sign!"
"If you sign, you will get the money. If you don't sign, the debt collectors are outside." Nangong Rui said.
Nangong Tian was startled. He quickly leaned over the window and looked out. Sure enough, there were three tall men standing in the broken yard.
Nangong Tian's face suddenly turned bad.
"You little brat, are you trying to fool your father? Huh? Why do you find some reason for your friends to come and claim that you are here to collect debts?" Nangong Tian said angrily, slamming the table.
