第三章 借钱难

将近二更，易允昌、易知书二父子才一脸疲惫的乘轿回府。龙腾小说ltxsba.com
轿子直接抬进府在轿厅落轿，哈腰下轿，易允昌瞥了一眼快步迎上来的管家苏云轻，径直就往东跨院而去，进了院门，他才开口道：“三少爷可醒了？”
苏云轻亦步亦趋的道：“回老爷，三少爷掌灯时分就醒了，喝了药，吃了碗面，大有好转，现正在歇息。”
听的老三大有好转，易允昌心情轻松不少，点了点头，道：“你去忙吧，知书陪我去看看。”
房间里，易知足歪在床上闭目假寐，这一番折腾，他确实感觉虚弱的很，听的房门响，他偏头一看，见前面一人身着官袍，年约五十出头，有些清瘦，蓄着长须，他不由暗自诧异，不是十三行的行商吗？怎的还是个官？瞥了一眼官帽上的顶子——白水晶，这是几品官？
再看后面那人，一身青色长衫，浓眉大眼，约莫三十上下，正微笑着望着他，一脸的亲善，他忙坐起身，怯怯的开口道：“爹……大哥。”
易允昌觑了他一眼，见脸色好转，精神似乎也不错，点了点头，顺手将官帽放在桌上，在床边坐下，道：“你昨日跟谁一起喝酒？”
“仁和行、东昌行、同顺行、顺泰行、兴泰行的几家子弟。”易知足低声道，这几家都是十三行中的小商行，几家商行关系未必好，但几家子弟尤其是不沾商务的子弟却经常在一起厮混。
听的还有兴泰行子弟，正在倒茶的易知足有些诧异的道：“严世宽也在？”
“嗯。”易知足点头道：“听闻外商有可能要联名控告兴泰行，大伙儿凑钱设宴，就为宽慰他……..。”
“不是有可能。“易知书看了他一眼，道：“英商颠地，今日已经正式向总督府递交禀帖，控告兴泰行了。”
颠地动作这么快？兴泰行的倒闭岂非是已经提上日程？这个颠地不知道是不是林则徐禁烟时的那个大贩子颠地？那家伙还是个放高利贷的？有机会的会会那家伙，心念一转，易知足很是突兀的问道：“爹，咱家孚泰行会不会倒闭？”
易允昌没料到他问的如此直接，不觉一怔，随手接过易知书递上来的茶，浅呷了几口，他才异常严肃的说道：“孚泰行倒闭已无可挽回。”
听的这话，易知书一惊，连忙道：“爹，咱们今日不是赊了三万元的茶叶生丝？抛出去的货也有八万元，应该能撑过去。”
易允昌一脸苦涩的摇了摇头，道：“往年拆东墙补西墙还能应付过去，今年怕是不可能了，而且就算能撑过今年，没有现银周转，今年的生意也就黄了，明年照旧是难逃倒闭破产的厄运……。”
长叹了一声，他才看着易知足，道：“十三行如今已是今非昔比，东印度公司倒闭，大量流入，市面银钱紧缺，周转艰难，行外商又与英美散商勾结压价，孚泰行眼下已是举步维艰，再撑下去，亏欠只会是越来越大……你大哥一直协助为父打理商行商务，孚泰行倒闭，他断无置身事外的可能，为父不想你也被拖累……总得给咱家留点念想罢。”
说到这里，他抚了一下光溜溜的额头，不胜伤感的道：“你今年已满十八，按理早该成家了，但爹却一直没给你订下亲事，就为防着有这一日，你此番醉酒落水，外间郎中说你有性命之忧，这是天赐良机，正好籍此假死遁逃南洋……。”
听到这里，易知书一脸苦涩，难怪老爹这两年对老三的亲事一个劲的推诿，对老三不愿进学也听之任之，宁愿让老三在外游手好闲，惹是生非也不让老三进商行帮忙，原来是早就预料到孚泰行会倒闭，可这未免太厚此薄彼了点。
想到这里，他不甘心的道：“爹，既是如此，为何不仿效伍家？咱们举家外逃，吕宋、噶罗巴、马六甲、安南、暹罗、南掌，何处不可安身？”
伍家自然就是怡和行伍家，现今大名鼎鼎的怡和行在创建之初，亦是负债累累，伍秉鉴的父亲——伍国莹在怡和行面临倒闭破产之时，悍然携带全家老小成功潜逃，这在当年是轰动广州城的大事。
易允昌却摇了摇头，道：“十三行商行倒闭破产，行商举家潜逃的，自十三行创建以来，唯有伍国莹一个，独此一例！你就没想想为什么？为什么怡和行仅仅在四年后又能卷土重来，重建怡和行，而且还能快速崛起？”
易允昌显然不想多讨论这个话题，稍稍一顿，便加重语气道：“举家潜逃，断无可能，安排两三个不涉商务的子弟外逃避祸是可行的，债务短缺数额不大的情况下，不论是粤海关还是十三行，对此都会睁只眼闭只眼。”
听他格外咬重两三个子弟，易知书心知肚明，这指的是老三和自己的一对儿女，问题是老三是个什么样的人，能做指靠吗？
听的易允昌居然要安排他潜逃南洋避祸，易知足心里一暖，原本他还打算仔细琢磨一下，如何去筹钱，但眼下是根本不给他时间了，如今，只有一个办法了，借！好在他之前考虑过如何借钱，虽然有风险，但现在也顾不上了。
见两人不吭声了，他大大咧咧的道：“爹，孚泰行是你一生的心血，怎能轻言放弃？孩儿有法子借钱，只不知道孚泰行具体欠了多少？”
听的这话，易允昌、易知书不由的面面相觑，老三该不会是脑子烧糊涂了吧？半晌，易知书才开口道：“三弟，这可不比你在外面欠的风流债那点小钱，四十万银元，你去哪里借？”
