Chapter 131 Bright and aboveboard
After collecting the banknotes and sending Wen Youyu and other merchants away, Han Xiufeng asked Pan Er to call Fei Erye, Qian Junchen and Liu Juren who were talking in He Juren's room.
The four of them walked into the main room and were stunned for a moment when they saw Han Xiufeng counting banknotes with a ledger in front of him.
"Sit down, everyone, sit down and drink tea. Let's talk while drinking tea." Han Xiufeng put down the ordered banknotes and greeted.
"Zhixing, what are you doing?" Fei Erye asked curiously.
Liu Juren took the tea from Pan Ershou and asked with a smile: "Did you take stock and calculate how much money was spent on the evening party?"
"No." Han Xiufeng pushed the account book in front of them and said with an embarrassed look: "Didn't you guys write a few poems and calligraphy works tonight? Shopkeeper Wen and the others want it. I'm thinking of writing poems and inscriptions.
There are rules for composing poems and inscriptions, so I helped a few managers and asked for some extra money."
Qian Junchen didn't expect that he could still get paid for just writing a poem with dozens of words. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Zhixing, you are really good at managing money. You need to have enough money to write the inscription. I didn't expect that."
Woolen cloth!"
"Brother Qian, you are a scholar and a noble person. Naturally, you would not think of such things." Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "But I can't help you all in vain. The guild hall will be renovated when the results of the palace examination are released next year.
There is still a big shortfall in money, so I plan to give you only half, and the remaining half will be used for the renovation of the guild hall. Whoever donates how many taels will be used as a memorial stone when the guild hall is renovated."
Thinking that he could still keep a good reputation by donating half of it, He Juren said without hesitation: "Zhixing, you are the one who came to get this money. I will do whatever you say."
Liu Juren deeply agreed: "Donating money to renovate the guild hall is also a kind act. How could such a kind act be done without me, Liu Shizhen!"
"Thank you Master He, Master Liu for making it possible."
"Zhixing, you are doing this all for the guild hall, not for your own support, so why are you thanking me?"
"Me too. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't added a single brick to the guild hall in all these years. Zhixing, I can't help you." Fei Erye has seen everything Han Xiufeng has done these days.
Thinking again that Han Xiufeng was not only dedicated to the club but also to the welfare of everyone, Fei Erye was filled with emotion.
A total of eighty taels of silver were collected. Qian Junchen was really reluctant to donate half of it, but Mr. Fei and the others were all willing to donate, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Zhixing, don't look at me, I am the same."
"Since all four of you have no objections, please accept the banknotes and help me write down the amount received in the account book. Second Master, these twenty-five taels belong to you."
"Okay, I'll do it first." Mr. Fei quickly accepted the banknote, took the pen from Pan Ershou, and wrote in the account book how much profit he received on a certain day in a certain year, and how much money he donated for the renovation of the guild hall.
How many taels of silver.
He Juren and Liu Juren followed closely behind.
How many taels of silver were sold for the poems I wrote in the evening? It is clearly written in the account book.
Qian Junchen was secretly proud that as a Jinshi, his poems were worth more than those of others, but Han Xiufeng actually handed Pan Er the forty taels of silver notes that were supposed to be given to him.
"Master Qian, if I remember correctly you haven't paid back the forty taels you borrowed from Changsheng. It's already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, so I can't delay it any longer."
Qian Junchen was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
As the saying goes, you can't hit someone in the face, but Fei Erye, He Juren, He Juren. Unexpectedly, Han Xiufeng would mention this matter in front of them, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
What surprised them even more was that Han Xiufeng took another jade bracelet from Pan's hand and gently placed it in front of Qian Junchen: "Brother Qian, I remember that we agreed that if we still couldn't pay the forty taels, we would use this bracelet to pay for it."
, your ancestral bracelet belongs to Changsheng. I went out to do errands a few days ago and happened to pass by a pawn shop. Changsheng and I took the bracelet in and asked about it. I didn’t know if I didn’t ask. When I asked, I was shocked. It turned out that the texture of this bracelet was as good as
The quality is all of good quality, and even if it is pawned, it can still be used as a hundred taels."
"Zhixing, are you kidding me? How valuable is this bracelet?" Qian Junchen was doubtful.
"Brother Qian, it's not the first day we met. When have you ever seen me make such a joke?"
Han Xiufeng took a deep breath, stared at him and said seriously and sincerely: "Brother Qian, although I, Han Si, am not a scholar, I can say that 'a gentleman does what he does and what he does not do' and 'a gentleman loves money in the right way.
"You still know the truth. You can't let Changsheng take advantage of you, and you can't let Changsheng want this family heirloom from you. Check to see if it's damaged, and if it's not damaged, put it away."
"Zhixing, I...I misunderstood you, I..."
"Is there any misunderstanding? Hurry up and put it away. This is a family heirloom, so you must put it away."
Thinking of the things he had planned with Ren He these days, and how Han Si treated him, Qian Junchen felt embarrassed and ashamed. He picked up the bracelet and choked up and said: "Zhixing, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I won't say anything."
Already."
"We are all self-sufficient people, so it's too outrageous to say this."
It is not something that ordinary people can do without being proud of their wealth!
Fei Erye was filled with emotion and couldn't help but hold up his hands and said: "Zhixing, I can rest assured that I will leave the club to you to take care of! If you need help with anything in the future, just ask!"
He Juren, who has always adhered to the principle of "it's not about having many friends but having the best friends", never expected that Han Xiufeng was so upright and upright. When he thought about the fact that they would spend a lot of time together, he suddenly felt the desire to make friends and said, "Zhixing, you really value loyalty.
!If you think highly of me, He Junjie, don’t talk about me as Master He from now on. How about we treat each other as brothers?”
"Thank you, Mr. He, for your love. I have achieved great heights."
"Here we go again. We are all self-sufficient people. What's more, you are also an official now, so why should you be so high-ranking?"
"Okay, I will call you Junjie brother from now on."
"That's right, hahahaha."
Liu Juren also felt that in terms of character, the ninth-grade candidate inspector who was born as a donor was many times better than the judge Ren He. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Zhixing, if you think highly of Liu, you and I will also do the same in the future."
As brothers."
"Okay, I won't be polite to my two brothers anymore. From now on, we will treat each other as brothers, and we will treat each other as brothers!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we must not only treat each other as brothers, but also communicate as brothers!"
………
Before, Pan Er couldn't bear to return the bracelet he got to Qian Junchen, but now he feels that he should return it, it's worth it! Because if you keep the bracelet, you can earn at most a hundred taels of silver, and a good reputation doesn't cost much.
Can't be bought.
Pan Erzheng was secretly proud that no matter what happened from now on, no matter whether Mr. Ji, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wang and other officials in Beijing, or the few people in front of him, they would only help Han Si, and Ren He couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.
What a trick, Mr. Fei suddenly said: "Zhixing, when Xingzhi left, I asked him if he wanted to move back. Did you also ask Changsheng to mention this to his brother?"
Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Pan Er couldn't help but said: "I mentioned it, I explained it to Ren Yuan politely, and he said that he had to ask his brother whether he wanted to move or not."
"Just mentioned it." Mr. Fei put down his tea bowl and sighed helplessly: "Zhixing, he said he appreciates your kindness and said it's good to live in an inn. He doesn't want to move because he thinks it's troublesome to move around."
This was really beyond Han Xiufeng's expectation. Just as he was puzzled, Qian Junchen suddenly said: "Second Master, it's not that he doesn't want to move back, but he is worried...worried..."
"What are you worried about? Is he still suspicious and worried that Zhixing will harm him?" He Juren couldn't help but ask.
"That's not true," Qian Junchen scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "He came to take the exam. He is determined to get a spot on the gold medal list. He is at the critical moment of studying. He is worried that seeing his ambition will disturb his mood."
He Heng didn't have a good impression of the arrogant Ren He. Hearing Qian Junchen's words, he couldn't help but sneered: "He's not suspicious, but he has a guilty conscience and has something evil in his heart!"
