Wen Wan looked at Guangyuan Commercial Bank's account and looked a little strange: "Go and call the shopkeeper You. Tell him that I have something to ask him."
Not long after, Shopkeeper You was summoned.
Wen Wan showed him the account book and asked with confusion, "Why have there suddenly been so many dead things in the past few months? And there have been so many incomes. What's the reason?"
"Princess Princess, it's like this. There was an official named Shi who used the house deed to pay 2,000 taels of silver for urgent use. But later the note was lost, and later he was involved in a treason case, and there was basically no one here (the person here No one is dead. It¡¯s just that no one is an official in the government, so they can just occupy it.) So, I included the discounted price of this house in my income." Shopkeeper You explained one by one. Come on.
???????????????????????? With a gentle smile: "In the past, those people who lost their bills and had no background, just let the bank swallow it?"
Shopkeeper You nodded, this is the rule in the bank.
Wen Wan shook her head, what kind of rule is this? It's completely the overlord's clause. It seems that this needs to be corrected and some plans given. Let the people who come to pledge make their own choices.
"Find the person, discount the house price and return the money to them." Wen Wan's words made Shopkeeper You widen his eyes.
Shopkeeper You was anxious, "Princess, the deed of the house is in our bank. Even if they want to sue the government, they can't sue. How can such a huge profit" Ordinary honorable people, there is a lot of robbery and plunder, this It¡¯s better to have money delivered to your door, no matter what you do.
"I open a bank to do business, and naturally I have to make money. But what I do is a legitimate business, and I make the money I should make. Even if they participate in rebellion, it is their family's business. If the court wants to confiscate it, just take it Go and return it to the court. If they don't confiscate it, then return the money to them. Of course, if they must return the house, they must redeem it and return it to them. This is not a good reputation. Reputation. If anyone comes to do business in the future, make your own money, not this kind of shady money. You know, forget it this time, and I won¡¯t punish you for a month again. Monthly money. Next time, you pack up and leave." Wen Wan said in a very unkind tone.
How dare Shopkeeper You disobey Wen Wan's words, "Yes, yes, yes. I understand. I'll do it when I get back." Anyway, the boss behind the scenes is the princess. She did whatever she said.
The owner of the house received 2,700 taels of silver from shopkeeper You. Don't believe it. After it was confirmed, I didn't dare to accept the money. Although the family is already poor and in desperate need of money.
"Don't worry, this is the rule of our bank. At first, because our master was not in the capital, we didn't dare to make the decision on such a big matter. It was delayed just because of the formalities. Now the master has spoken, and we will naturally act in accordance with the rules. We have already The price of your house was estimated at five thousand taels. I took away the 2,000 taels of silver and still need 300 taels of interest. Just take the remaining 2,700 taels. Don't worry, we'll be fine. If we want to murder you, you have nothing for us to murder." Shopkeeper You looked at the family in fear. I couldn't help but shake my head, but I still managed to persuade him.
"Thank you, thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Still a little uneasy.
"This is a document, you sign it." The man looked at a complete set of documents before he believed it was true. Signed respectfully.
The shopkeeper took the signed documents and went back.
That family didn¡¯t look like they were making a fool of themselves. Thinking about it, there's nothing to explode. If you really want to cause trouble, you don't have to wait until now. With this thought in my mind, I felt relieved. After taking the money, I immediately gave him medicine.
Shopkeeper You finished his errand and went back. On the way back, a follower who followed me muttered, "What you think of this princess is really unfathomable. You can completely blame yourself for the money. If you hadn't bankrolled it, your home would have been confiscated." So they dare not say anything, but they don¡¯t know what the princess thinks."
"The princess has such principles no matter how she behaves, treats people, or does business. But this is fine. With these principles, it will be easier for us to do things." Shopkeeper You didn't think too much. If the princess doesn't want it, then she doesn't want it. Anyway, the money earned can't go into her pocket.
And this matter suddenly spread in the capital. The name of Guangyuan Bank immediately made people think of the whole capital. After the news was confirmed, many people began to come to Guangyuan Bank for loans. Why, it¡¯s reliable!
Meier had some free time and went to thank her gently. However, Wen Wan poured cold water on her at the right time, saying that Luo Shouxun was just a playboy and she shouldn't expect him to be like this every day.
"I know, as long as I know that he has me in his heart, can respect me, and can put me first in everything at home. I will be satisfied." Mei'er has never had the luxury of expecting Luo Shouxun to be his wife from now on.?Only for him. Compared with others, her mother-in-law is kind and her husband respects her. She is already very good. She felt that she was already very happy and didn't want to ask for more.
"Well, why do women in this era fail to achieve their goals even if they have such low requirements." Wen Wan sighed heavily.
Meier sneered, what does this era mean? You are not of this era yet. Wen Wan also smiled and said that she came from outer space.
Not long after, it was reported that Meier was pregnant. Meier is pregnant and cannot serve. Luo Shouxun was not a man who kept his land, but he had a passionate fight with a concubine a few days ago. Everyone else wanted to see how Mei'er would punish the concubine who seduced Luo Shouxun.
Meier did nothing and went back to her old days. All housework was taken over by her mother-in-law, and the Duke's wife asked her to raise a fat grandson. Meier was not as eager this time as last time. It is naturally good to have a son, but it is also okay to have a daughter. Continue to give birth next time. So she took care of herself and raised her baby, and taught her son with peace of mind.
In my free time, I play the piano, read books, and paint. There was no feeling of dissatisfaction or resentment. When her mother-in-law saw it, she praised her son for marrying a good and kind-hearted wife. He is even more loving to her. He told Luo Shouxun that he must cherish his blessings.
On this day, Meier was reading in the Wutong Courtyard. The mother in charge came back and said, "Mrs. Prince, Madam Yu, please see me." Upon hearing this, Meier immediately put down her book and was ushered in.
"What's going on?" She was startled when she saw that the swelling and redness in Yuxiu's eyes had not gone away.
"Mei'er, there's no way I can survive this day." After Yuxiu waited for all the maids and women to go out, she hugged Mei'er and cried. Looking at Yuxiu's appearance, he knew that something evil had happened to the old witch in the Yu family. A busy meal to comfort.
Yuxiu wiped her tears and said, "My mother-in-law said that she wants to make her niece his equal wife to my husband."
Meier was extremely surprised, "Okay, why did this happen? Your mother-in-law didn't make trouble with Aunt You, so why did she make trouble with you again?"
Yuxiu felt bitter in her heart, "Aunt You gave birth to a daughter, but she was in poor health. Now she is raising her. My mother-in-law bought a charming maid to serve my father-in-law. This period can be regarded as a rest for a few days. But The recent incident involved the mother-in-law's family. Her brother was dismissed from office, and her niece was engaged to be married. The other party asked her to cancel the engagement, so her mother-in-law took her over. A scandal happened two days ago. Naturally, my mother-in-law couldn't let her niece suffer. Now, she said that she wanted to marry her as an equal wife. But my father and several brothers are now in jail. To me, it¡¯s even more unscrupulous.¡±
"I don't know what to do about this? I happen to be going to Wen Wan's place. You go with me. She always has many ideas. There must be a way." Meier couldn't figure out why. Today is the cusp of the storm, and everyone has to live a low-key life. The Duke's Mansion is also in the limelight. Wenwan always has many ideas. Xun Wenwan comes up with an idea.
Sun Degong was beside him and gently reported, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent a batch of the latest jewelry. Please take a look."
The emperor originally wanted to leave it to the queen to handle it. But as soon as the idea changed, he was sent to Yanghe Palace and had a look at it before being sent to Kunning Palace. Of course, when the emperor took a look at it, he was missing a lot of good things.
"This batch of jewelry doesn't include an agate bergamot bee gold hairpin, a plum blossom bamboo jasper hairpin, and a heart-shaped tourmaline pendant. Why are there none?" Concubine Xian had long heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had made an agate bergamot bee gold hairpin, which was particularly special. Beautiful and exquisite. So as soon as I got the news, I rushed over immediately. I looked over and over and didn't see anything, and I didn't have any of the jewelry I wanted, so I became angry.
The two noble concubines had smiles on their faces and didn¡¯t say much. These two men were somewhat better informed. I know it was the emperor who took it. As for who the reward was given to, they had a vague guess.
The queen looked unhappy and said in a cold voice, "Xianfei, what do you mean by saying that? Could it be that I am hiding it all?"
Concubine Xian also knew that she was too quick to speak: "Queen, please calm down, I am too quick to talk."
Zhaoyi was beside her and asked in confusion, "Empress, where have all the jewelry gone? How come there is such a difference."
The queen didn¡¯t know that everyone was there when this thing was delivered, and she was too talkative just to ask questions. The queen secretly resented that these people had never dared to question her in the past. Now seeing the emperor's cold attitude towards her, he stepped on her face even more. "Can I ask clearly, to whom did the emperor reward these missing pieces of precious jewelry?" After hearing this, all the concubines present knew that, and they were all shocked. The emperor took it away, twisting the handkerchief and secretly getting angry. Who was so quick to get there first?
"Go back to the Queen, ladies and gentlemen. I have asked you clearly. These fashionable jewelry were selected by the Emperor as a reward.Princess Xingguo, at this moment, the person who gave the reward probably hasn¡¯t left the palace yet. "The person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who came to deliver the gift came in and replied cautiously.
Such words made all the concubines hate and annoyed, but there was nothing they could do. For the emperor, gentleness is truly the treasure in his mouth. Not to mention these few pieces of jewelry, no matter how precious they were, the emperor would appreciate them without blinking. There was nothing that could be done about it but jealousy. Competing with Princess Xingguo for things is not possible unless you no longer want to live. Not to mention the concubines, even the queen could only listen.
Wen Guifei and Qi Guifei showed such expressions as expected. Except for the princess who could make the emperor so kind and affectionate, no one else could do what she expected. (To be continued)
