Chapter 7 Problems that can be solved with money are not problems
This shop operates a wide variety of children's products, including some traditional toys such as Trojans, windmills, bamboo dragonflies, rattles, and children's pots.
Qiao Wen suddenly thought of an idea, and he said, "I have it, come with me."
Qiao Wen and others bought sheep oil, soap beans, Guanyin soil, ripe lime, mint leaves, small porcelain jars, etc., and filled a full carriage.
Wang's home lives in Jiayi Lane, which is the only way for Qiaowen to enter and exit the gate of Yonghefang.
Qiao Wen and others walked towards Dinger Lane with laughter and laughed. They happened to see a carriage with a crimson tent parked at the entrance of the alley. Wang Lian, the daughter of Wang family, was talking to a young man in a 17 or 18-year-old in a crimson robe. This man was Guo Jiawang, the second son of Guo Shizhong of the Ministry of Rites.
Seeing Qiao Wen coming, Wang Lian turned his face aside in disgust. Guo Jiawang's father was a fifth-rank official position in the Ministry of Rites. He looked at Qiao Wen in dressed in an ordinary people with a contemptuous look, and a contemptuous hum in his nose.
Han San glared at him, and Xiao Dalang's expression was not healed, but Qiao Wen looked calm and continued to walk forward.
Han San said angrily: "What's it?!"
Xiao Dalang also said: "Just, just. No..."
He originally wanted to say, isn't he just a fifth-rank official? What's so great about it? But his father is a master, but he is only a ninth-rank official, and he is too far from others.
Qiao Wen smiled and said, "What do you care about them?"
Back at Dinger Lane, Qiao Wen, accompanied by Huang Erniang and others, visited every family in the alley, gave them the money they had raised, and each household gave 30 kilograms of rice to express his gratitude.
After completing these things, Qiao Wen and others returned to the Qiao family courtyard.
Qiao Yu was sitting at the stone table reading. When he saw Qiao Wen and others, he stood up and greeted: "Brother, Brother Sanlang, Brother Dalang, you are back!"
After saying that, he stretched out his little hand and asked, "Do you have osmanthus cake?"
Han San smiled and said, "Yes, I won't forget you." He shook a large paper bag in his hand.
Qiao Yu took the paper bag and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Sanlang."
Qiao Wen sat at the stone table, picked Qiao Yu up and sat on his lap, and asked, "Didn't you feel dizzy?"
Qiao Yu was eating osmanthus cake and said in a vague way: "No, I feel much better."
Han San asked: "Qiaowen, what do you want to do after you bought these things?"
Xiao Dalang also looked at Qiao Wen curiously.
Huang Erniang accompanied Qiao Wen and others for a while, and when she got home, she was about to take a rest, her son ran in in panic and knelt on the ground, crying, "My grandma, my son has caused a big disaster!"
...
In the Qiao family courtyard, Qiao Wen said, "I want to make a child toy."
When he heard that he wanted to make toys, Qiao Yu immediately said, "What toys, are they fun?"
Just as Qiao Wen was about to speak, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside. Huang Erniang said, "Is Qiao Wen at home?"
Qiao Wen put down Qiao Yu and walked over to open the yard gate. He saw Huang Erniang, Mr. Lu, Gao Yuanwai and Huang Erniang's son Ma Yue and his family of three standing outside the door. Everyone looked serious, it seemed that something serious had happened.
"Please come in quickly." Qiao Wen said.
Before Huang Erniang could speak, she started crying first. Ma Yue's wife and daughter also wiped their tears together. Ma Yue looked at Qiao Wen with shame on her face.
Qiao Wen asked, "Huang Erniang, don't cry! What's wrong?"
Mr. Lu said, "Let me say it."
It turned out that Ma Yue was a clerk in a shop in Dongshi. There was a warehouse outside the city. It was Ma Yue's turn to take care of him today. While cooking at noon, he drank some wine and forgot that there was still boiling water on the stove, which caused a fire. Although he was fine, all the goods in the warehouse were burned down.
Ma Yue was seriously dereliction of duty. The boss asked him to compensate for the lost goods, otherwise he would have to report to the official. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, his behavior would be sentenced to at least ten years in prison and exiled to the border for execution.
This is not a criminal case. The Tang Dynasty's law was that the people would not procure officials and not investigate them. If an agreement was reached privately, the matter would be over.
Huang Erniang first went to find Mr. Lu and Mr. Gao to go out. They couldn't solve the problem. Knowing that Qiao Wen had some money, they came to find Qiao Wen to help.
After Mr. Lu finished speaking, Qiao Wen comforted: "That's good. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. How much does it cost to compensate others?"
Hearing this, Huang Erniang and her family cried even harder.
Mr. Lu sighed and said, "700 guan."
"Ah? So many!" Before Qiao Wen could speak, Han San shouted first.
Qiao Wen asked, "Do you really need so much? Those people didn't cheat you?"
Ma Yue shook her head and said in pain: "No, the goods in the warehouse are really worth so much money. The owner is good and he did not count the money burned in the warehouse. It's all my fault for this, and I shouldn't have drunk alcohol while on duty."
Huang Erniang wiped her tears and said, "You can't even get our family even if you sell it. I also know that Xiaoyu needs money to see a doctor, but..." After that, she started crying again.
Qiao Wen frowned and began to think.
Seeing Qiao Wen like this, Ma Yue knew that there was no hope, and he knew that even if Qiao Wen was willing to help, he would not have that much money.
So he said, "My grandma, this matter cannot be solved, so don't make things difficult for Qiao Wen. Let me bear the trouble myself."
Huang Erniang said angrily: "You bastard, it's time for you to go there to live a hard life, but if you leave, what should your wife and children do?"
After she said this, Ma Yue's woman cried even harder, and the girl cried.
Qiao Wen said, "Hey, what a big deal! Stop crying, let me solve this problem."
As soon as Qiao Wen finished speaking, Huang Erniang's family stopped crying. Huang Erniang asked anxiously: "Do you have a solution?"
Qiao Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry! This is a small matter, I'll cover it with me!"
Gao Yuanwai was a cheerful person. He asked, "Are you sure it can be solved? This is 700 guan?"
Qiao Wen nodded and said, "Don't worry!"
He took out the 400-yuan Cui family and exchanged the tickets, and said to Mr. Lu: "Mr. Lu, please follow Ma Yue and give them the money first, and pay them the remaining 300-yuan within a month."
Mr. Lu said: "This should be fine. Those people just ask for money, and it should be fine to delay for a month."
Huang Erniang was so grateful that she didn't know what to say for a moment. She said to Ma Yue's family: "Everyone knelt down and kowtow to the Qiao brothers."
"Thank you, Brother Qiaowen." Ma Yue and his family said and knelt to the ground.
"What is this for? Get up quickly!" Qiao Wen hurriedly reached out to stop him.
After Huang Erniang and others left, Han San said worriedly: "Where can you solve such a large amount of money?"
Xiao Dalang was also worried about Qiao Wen and said, "Yes, yes, there are too many of them."
