Chapter 77:

Paying off debts is a matter of course, and what is owed should be paid back. Chu Fei did not intend to take Zhu Hanshan's account back. Of course, he didn't plan to help Zhu Hanshan repay the account.
In his previous life, this person would be harsh and indifferent. With his understanding of Zhu Hanshan, if he helped Zhu Hanshan pay the bill, not only would he not get Zhu Hanshan’s gratitude, he might still be treated as meddling. Jin can't please.
Chu Fei was surprised at the fact that Ning Langneng and Zhu Hanshan became good friends, but apart from the subsidy, he didn't want to care about Zhu Hanshan's other things. If Ning Nuan hadn’t gotten Ning Lang’s instructions, he had come to the Zhu’s family. Nosy, it is impossible for him to follow along here.
But now that he was here, and Ning Nuan was watching, Chu Fei planned to solve the matter completely.
He said: "If you can't count it, then Zhu Hanshan owes you money, and this king is not a rogue person. Naturally, the money owed will be returned to you. This king wants to ask how much money he owes you. ?"
The strong men glanced at each other, and one of them cautiously said: "The son of Zhu's family was seriously ill at the time. He asked us to borrow fifty taels of silver, with a monthly interest of eight cents, and pay us 40 taels of silver each month."
"Then how much is the money back?"
"This..." The strong men looked at each other again, and their tone of voice became more and more cautious: "Now he still owes us a hundred taels."
Chu Fei raised his eyebrows: "Why is it a hundred taels again?"
"I wish you a poor family, you don't have money, and you can't even pay the interest of four taels of silver a month. This is a profit, a profit, not just..." The strong man smiled flatteringly at him and said:" Lord, this is because the Zhu family owes us money, and it is only natural for us to come to the Zhu family to collect debts. It’s normal, isn’t it? The Zhu family owes us money and does not pay the interest this month. We can't wait, then we come to the Zhu's family to discuss it."
After the burly man finished speaking, the villagers onlookers couldn't help it, and couldn't help but say, "The house and the fields of the Zhu family have been taken away by you. Hanshan will pay you back your money every month. It's not too late this time. After only one day, you just came to the door like this, and even Mrs. Zhu was shocked by you."
"He owes us money and we are here to collect the debt. Is there anything wrong? I heard that Zhu Hanshan has received Lord An's subsidy money..." Speaking of this, the strong man smiled at Chu Fei kindly. He laughed and said: "The prince is kind and gave the Zhu family a subsidy. I heard that there is a bonus in the college. On weekdays, Zhu Hanshan can pay interest, but at this time he is in arrears. , You said it’s not right, did you?"
"You also took away people's houses and fields?"
"More than that!" someone in the village shouted: "The Zhu family originally raised a pig and several chickens, all of which were taken away by them."
The strong man glared at them in a hurry, then looked at Chu Fei, and showed his kindness again: "Zhu Hanshan doesn't have any money yet, so he takes things as a mortgage. These pigs and chickens are all he owes us."
"This king just listened, why do you say that he can pay back the interest every month?" Chu Fei frowned, "Is this king wrong?"
"I can pay it back, but I can pay it back, but Zhu Hanshan's father owed fifty taels before he has not paid it back. Zhu Hanshan is not able to pay back the money from the beginning. Those pigs and chickens, as well as houses, fields, etc. It's those fifty taels and interest!"
Chu Fei's brows furrowed deeper: "The house and the fields add up to more than fifty taels of silver. You said that Zhu Hanshan can pay back the interest. I am surprised that all the mortgages will be taken away by you. The interest was also paid back, so why did it roll out a hundred taels?"
The brawny man choked for a while, and suddenly realized something, and several of his accomplices also broke into cold sweats.
"Returning profit? This king listened to what you said, and you also received compound interest?" Chu Fei sneered, and the folding fan in his hand snapped closed: "This government has issued a ban, and all private loans cannot calculate compound interest. , Your compound interest is considered blatantly, have you deceived this king?!"
The debt collectors wet their backs all of a sudden, their feet softened, and they almost knelt down in front of Chu Fei.
The faces of the other villagers were a little dazed, and they didn't understand how the wicked debt collectors suddenly changed their faces.
Even listening to Grandma Zhu not far away, her expression was a bit sluggish.
She grabbed Ning Nuan's hand and tightened suddenly, her eyes widened, and she stared at the strong men in the field for a long while before she said: "Miss Ning, did I hear you wrong..."
"I wish you old lady, you heard that right." Before Ning Nuan could speak, the maid said straightforwardly: "Prince An has said that the government is not allowed to collect compound interest."
I wish Grandma's expression was blank for a while, she opened her mouth, and she was speechless for a while, and after a long time she barely laughed, but her expression was uglier than crying.
The debts left by his son’s serious illness weighed on the Zhu’s family for several years. Originally, Zhu’s family was in good condition in the village of Zhu’s. Now, the house is gone and the fields are gone. Even the thatched houses are the villagers looking at their pitiful family. So that they can live, the fields planted in Zhu Hanshan are rented with others. Not only that, but it also made them feel terrified every day, sighing for the huge debt that was weighing on them.
If Grandma Zhu gritted her teeth and insisted on letting Zhu Hanshan go to school, and Zhu Hanshan was also upbeat, she would copy books for her study every month and write letters for others, instead she would have made a lot of money and filled the holes of interest. If not, I’m afraid The family of Zhu had already fallen.
Only then did another carriage hurried over. There was the Ning family's logo on the carriage. The carriage was not stable yet, and one person hurriedly jumped off from above, wearing the uniform blue gown of Qingshan Academy. It was Zhu Hanshan.
In the carriage in the distance, Miss Xue opened her eyes wide and looked at the person who appeared suddenly, and whispered to the maid: "This is the Zhu Hanshan?"
The maid said: "Yes, miss, it is him."
Miss Xue suddenly went on to see the situation in the field.
Zhu Hanshan pushed aside the crowd and hurried into his yard. When he saw Chu Fei here, he was taken aback for a while, and then he looked at the familiar debt collectors across the street. He hesitated and asked, "My grandma. What?"
I wish grandma seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly said: "Hanshan, grandma is here!"
Zhu Hanshanhuo turned his head, and when he saw Grandma Zhu, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Grandma Zhu next to Ning Nuan, his eyes were immediately grateful.
Ning Nuan helped Grandma Zhu walk over, she glanced at Chu Fei, and Chu Fei immediately showed her an imperceptibly flattering smile. Ning Nuan looked away, but there was a slight smile in his eyes.
Grandma Zhu took Zhu Hanshan, and quickly repeated what he had just heard: "Hanshan, just now His Royal Highness An Wang said that if you can't recover benefits, you can't recover benefits, Hanshan!"
Chu Fei added: "If it is collected, according to the law, all the excess collection must be returned."
I wish grandma even more excited: "I will be back! I will be back, Hanshan!"
Zhu Hanshan responded in a daze, but he was not too excited.
He is familiar with poetry and books, and he is the most knowledgeable in the academy. How could he not know that the government has stipulated that it is not possible to recover profits? It's just that he is just a commoner in the suburbs of Beijing, and he has no power behind him. Even if he has read more books, he has not yet obtained fame. He had thought about going to the government, but his father was not an ordinary person who borrowed money. He had seen it with his own eyes, and the debt collectors in front of him were drinking with the arrest of the government. There are people behind these people who are accustomed to rampant dominance, and ordinary people can't move them.
Grandma Zhu is not in good health, and Zhu Hanshan dare not do more. She can only copy more books every month, and at least pay the interest money. Those people will not be too much. This month, due to delays in the college, he dragged on for a day, but he didn't expect these debt collectors to go directly to his house.
Hearing that something happened to Grandma Zhu, he almost couldn't stand firm, and quickly followed in the carriage of Ningfu.
What he never expected was that not only Ning Lang's sister was here, but also Wang An was here.
Chu Fei pointed at him and said, "He still owes the king's subsidy silver and has not paid it back. You are arguing with Zhu's family. If something happens, do you still want to use the subsidy money he owes to the king?"
Several people begged for mercy again and again: "The prince is forgiving."
"Wang Quan." Chu Fei nodded a few people: "Bring them all to the government. This debt and compound interest matter will be determined by the government. This king does not want to deal with these bad things. You. When you bring people away, you have to remember to watch it with your own eyes. The king still needs to know the outcome of this matter."
Wang Quan replied and walked out with the thugs brought by Wang An, and invited Zhu Hanshan and the debt collectors to the government together.
Zhu Hanshan hurriedly came over, and was about to leave in a hurry. He entered the house to find the original IOU. When he went out, he glanced at Grandma Zhu and hesitated.
Ning Nuan said, "I wish my son rest assured, as entrusted by my brother, I will take good care of Mrs. Zhu."
Zhu Hanshan gave her a grateful look, then made a bet at her, and then followed Wang Quan.
As soon as those people left, all the villagers onlookers dispersed, and the courtyard that was still lively just now became empty in the blink of an eye.
Xiangtao took the person to help up what had been thrown by the debt collector, and Ning Nuan also helped Old Lady Zhu to sit on a chair in the room that was still intact.
Grandma Zhu was holding her, she was still a little worried: "Miss Ning, Han Shan just left with them like this, will she..."
"Mrs. I wish, you can rest assured." The maid who took care of her said straightforwardly: "Nowadays, it is not only our lady, but also His Royal Highness An, but Mrs. Zhu was taken away by the young man next to His Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness An is here, this matter will definitely be resolved smoothly."
"that……"
"Maybe, even your house can be taken back!"
Grandma Zhu was suddenly excited. Regardless of her health, she quickly stood up and bowed to Chu Fei.
Chu Fei suddenly became sore.
He was so grateful for the first time. He didn't know how to react. He hesitated for a while, coughed, said kindly quickly, and hurried out.
Waiting for my grandma to comfort me, Ning Nuan thought about Miss Xue, who was coming with her, and went out to find her. Unexpectedly, when I just went out, I saw Wang An, squatting in the yard, curiously watching her. See the seedlings who had been trampled on several feet in the chaos just now in the yard.
Ning Nuan coughed, and saw that he jumped up fiercely, took two steps to the side quickly, and opened the folding fan with a snap, as if the person who was curious about the seedlings was not like him, and returned to his original handsome appearance. . It wasn't until he turned around and saw that the person who came was Ning Nuan, and then he let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed.
Chu Fei immediately leaned over, and said diligently, "The old man in there... Mrs. Zhu, but you have a good rest?"
Ning Nuan nodded: "Thanks to the prince, now I wish the old lady has stopped."
Chu Fei coughed, and couldn't help but humblely said: "Those people have violated the ban. I wish my family members didn’t know before, and this king just reminded me, and it’s not as powerful as you said. If someone else knows, It will definitely be like this king."
He has a modest tone, and the meaning in his mouth is clearly unsatisfactory, like a peacock shaking his tail and opening the screen directly to Ning Nuan, wishing to let people see the dazzling point of his colorful tail.
Ning Nuan smiled in her eyes: "The prince said that people like these who have violated the ban should be put in prison."
Chu Fei: "..."
The peacock's tail that had just turned up behind Chu Fei suddenly came down again.
He touched his nose, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"If the prince is not in a hurry, it is better to stay here for a while." Ning Nuan said: "Just now, Mrs. Zhu said that when the prince is back, I want to personally thank the prince. If the prince does not dislike the simple and crude farm dishes, it is better to Wait until Master Zhu comes back before leaving."
"I..." Chu Fei paused, then asked: "What about you?"
Ning Nuan said: "I was in a hurry with Miss Xue, so I only sent someone to talk to my mother. My mother must be anxious, so Miss Xue and I will go back first."
Chu Fei was suddenly disappointed.
This time, I didn't want to come to meet his garden, but to return to Ning's house. After returning to the Ning family, I don't know when he will see Ah Nuan again.
Thinking of this, Chu Fei couldn't help gritting his teeth secretly, and in his heart he brought out the few debt collectors and kicked them. Those people didn’t come to collect debts earlier, and later they won’t come. It happened to be today. He finally called A Nuan out, and finally had a chance to meet A Nuan. Now it’s good, but he didn’t say much. Sentence, just like this wasted the opportunity.
And Zhu Hanshan, if he didn't default early, and didn't default late, why did he default this month? !
Ning Nuan only watched the expressions on his face change, and without thinking about it, he knew how resentful he was. Ning Nuan thought it was funny in her heart, but she said nothing, greeted Xiangtao, and took her back to Miss Xue's carriage.
Miss Xue looked at this side from a distance, worried, but now she finally saw her come back, and immediately said in a hurry: "How is it? I saw that everything was resolved?"
"With Wang An going out, it will be resolved naturally."
Miss Xue was relieved.
She recalled what she had seen just now, and couldn't help saying: "But it's just such a bit of money, so..."
Fifty taels of silver, put in their hands, maybe less than a piece of jewelry, but it crushed the Zhu family.
Miss Xue felt sad when she thought of the thin scholar she had just seen.
"Now that the matter is resolved, then there is no need to worry." Ning Nuan said: "This time, thanks to King An, if it weren't for King An, it would be troublesome to solve it with me alone."
"is not it!"
Seeing the physiques of those brawny men, Miss Xue almost passed out in shock. Ning Nuan is still just a weak girl. If he confronts those brawny guys, it will be bad if something happens. Fortunately, King An comes over, and when King An’s identity is revealed, those people are immediately scared.
Miss Xue replied: "So Wang An is also a good person..."
Ning Nuan couldn't help laughing: "Don't you think An Wang was not a good person?"
"It's my father, he told me that Wang An is not learning and skillful, and he is idle all day, causing trouble." Miss Xue was a little ashamed: "Later An Wang made a subsidy silver, and my father praised An Wang. , But I thought An Wang was..." He was a sinister and cunning man who used scholars for his reputation.
Ning Nuan couldn't help but wonder.
Seeing her curiosity, Miss Xue’s maid couldn’t help but explain:
It’s our wife, who had been with Mrs. Liu before. Mrs. Liu wanted to be married to our young lady. Those words were said by Mrs. Liu.

"Master Liu?" Ning Nuan was taken aback, and then said: "Liu Hong?"
"Yes." Miss Xue was surprised: "Do you know him?"
Ning Nuan nodded, Xiang Tao was straightforward, and directly told them the grudge between Liu Hong and Ning Nuan.
After listening to it, Miss Xue was even more surprised: "So it turns out that Gongzi Liu is such a person? No wonder I always feel uncomfortable reading the articles written by Gongzi Liu."
It's just that after all, it was the mother's kindness, so she endured it, and she heard many things about Wang An from Young Master Liu.
Sure enough, hearing is worse than seeing.
Miss Xue secretly thought that after she went back, she would see this matter with her mother.
When they returned, they also met Jiang Yunlan and Madam Xue who had hurried over on their way home. The carriage on both sides stopped on the road. Jiang Yunlan and Madam Xue got out of the carriage in a panic and saw that nothing happened to them. Just let go of my heart.
After this incident, let alone go back to the banquet, the two families returned to the capital and soon separated.
Not only Miss Xue couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Xue about Liu Gongzi, Ning Nuan also told Jiang Yunlan on the carriage about An Wang's help.
Jiang Yunlan was in a complicated mood. She didn't know whether to thank An Wang first, or to scold An Wang who had chased the cheeky to Zhujia Village.
"Mother, thanks to King An for what happened today, if it weren't for King An, I would like to help Zhu's family, and I would have to take a lot of work." Ning Nuan said, "My son is proud and can't let go , I must be unwilling to accept my help, but my brother told me before he left and told me to take care of Mr. Zhu and his grandmother. If something goes wrong with Zhu’s family, my brother will not be at ease. Wang An is not only Helped Zhu’s family, but still helped me."
"My mother knows it." Jiang Yunlan felt very complicated: "It's just that when my mother thought that it was King An chasing you to Zhujia Village, she felt unhappy in her heart."
Ning Nuan smiled and said, "That mother can even spare Wang An this time."
"My mother listens to you. Turn around and tell your brother about this matter, and let your brother go away." Jiang Yunlan also quickly put the matter down.
She didn't want to mention King An, but didn't pay attention to it for a while. Today's daughter actually pleaded for King An. She didn't notice it all at once, but Ning Nuan broke the topic later, and then didn't notice it anymore.
And Zhujiacun.
Chu Fei originally wanted to leave with him, but thinking about what Ning Nuan said, he still wandered around in Zhu's vegetable garden for a long time and read every vegetable seedling. When he was hungry, he finally waited for Zhu to return home. Cold mountain.
Zhu Hanshan saw him and was very grateful, but because he was not good at interacting with people by nature, he couldn't say anything, so he only gave him a deep thought.
Chu Fei was even more uncomfortable.
He coughed and asked, "Is everything resolved?"
"Thanks to the prince, the debts in Caomin's house have been paid off." Zhu Hanshan has paid off his debts for many years. He has copied books for his study every month, and he can earn a lot of money every month, but he has filled the holes of interest. Wang An said that those debt collectors were sent to the government. Once the compound interest previously calculated was cancelled, after all, it turned out that he had already repaid the principal and interest all these years.
Zhu Hanshan still had the IOUs returned by those people in his arms. There was so much emotion in his heart that he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Just solve it." Chu Fei touched his nose, and said: "Then the king... is gone?"
"If the prince doesn't dislike it, it's better to stay for dinner before leaving." Zhu Hanshan has already smelled the chicken soup coming out of the house.
Their family did not raise chickens. He and his grandmother had always lived in poverty. Because of the huge debts on their backs, they would not dare to eat or eat even for the New Year, let alone kill chickens. Even if the debts were paid off, they would not bear it. . Looking at Wang An, he still has it until now. He doesn't understand why this chicken is clearly used to entertain Wang.
Chu Fei only felt even more uncomfortable.
He has never seen Zhu Hanshan so enthusiastic.
In his previous life, he and Zhu Hanshan had some friendship, but it was not good. He still suffered a lot from Zhu Hanshan, and he knew exactly what character this person was.
Don't talk about staying a meal, even if you stay at his house until it gets dark or hungry at his door, he will be able to drive you out mercilessly.
When Chu Fei sat down at the dilapidated and unstable dinner table of Zhu's family, he held a bowl with a small mouth in his hand. In the bowl, Zhu Hanshan personally served him the rice, and he felt flattered.
If you let those colleagues in Zhu Hanshan know that Zhu Hanshan turned out to be such a hospitable person in the previous life, I am afraid that their jaws would fall.
"Master, try the chicken soup." Grandma Zhu pleasedly pushed a bowl of chicken soup in front of him.
The chicken soup was shiny, and there were two big chicken drumsticks in the bowl.
Chu Fei turned his head and glanced at her, and suddenly realized something.
In his previous life, he had never heard that Zhu Hanshan had a grandma.
He heard that Zhu Hanshan was a lonely and widowed person. He had no parents and no relatives on his side. The gate of the Zhu Mansion was deserted and deserted every new year. Therefore, the Holy Spirit felt very pity for him. This is so good, where did a grandma pop up?
Chu Fei looked at Zhu Hanshan again, he lowered his head, and took more care of Grandma Zhu, first served Grandma Zhu with soup and rice, and finally it was his turn. Chu Fei couldn't help being lost in thought.
If what happened today, what happened in the previous life?
In his previous life, Zhu Hanshan didn't recognize Ning Lang, and there was no Ning Nuan maid to look after him. If those debt collectors come, and there is only the sick old lady in the house, with the old lady alone, how can you beat those debt collectors?
Chu Fei didn't know that he was right.
In the last life, exactly the same thing happened today. Without the little maid of Ning's house, Mrs. Ning faced all the people who came to collect debts, and watched them beating and beating in Zhu’s house, anxious and angry. She was a patient, and those debt collectors dared not do anything to her. They just used cruel words to scare her, and said they were going to Qingshan Academy to make trouble.
Grandma Zhu valued her grandson most. Her only wish was to see Zhu Hanshan succeed in the exam. When she heard that Zhu Hanshan was driven away by Qingshan Academy, she was immediately anxious.
In the panic, I don't know who moved the hand first.
When Zhu Hanshan received the news and hurried back, Grandma Zhu's body was already cold. The only thing that Zhu Hanshan had to worry about was Grandma Zhu. When Grandma Zhu died, the sky seemed to fall in half. Later, Zhu Hanshan changed back to what Chu Fei had in mind.
And because of the rebirth of a few people, Zhu Hanshan's fate was interrupted and everything changed.
Chu Fei was holding the bowl of hot chicken soup, looking at his grandson and grandson, only to feel that some kind of blessed baby had fallen from the sky, and fell into his arms.
He thought about it for a while, and then felt happy again. The hot chicken soup entered my throat, and it became warm to my heart.
This is thanks to A Nuan, who is really his lucky star!
Vanves! A Nuan fruit is really Wangfu!
