Chapter 657: Wrong Thinking
The senior brother was very happy to see Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan for the first time. In the evening, he hosted them and invited them all to Wenxiang Shili for dinner.
Originally, he planned to invite them to Yuxiang Sanri to let Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan taste the authentic northwest cuisine. But when he heard that they were going to Yuxiang Sanri at noon, he chose Wenxiang Shili.
After dinner, night had already fallen, and the shops everywhere had long been closed. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and they were all coming and going in a hurry. Only Xia Zihan and a group of people were still wandering slowly as if they were shopping.
Being held by Aqi's little hand, walking in the cold and quiet streets with the night breeze, and talking about the Beijing dishes he had just eaten, Xia Zihan was filled with happiness and put aside the worries of Yinzi.
“The food is very authentic. It can be said that it is on par with what I had at Juxianglou. Especially the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which is very authentic. The name of this restaurant is Wenxiang Shili, which is correct. The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Once it’s made, you can smell the fragrance even if you’re standing ten miles away.”
Xia Zihan smiled very sweetly, which made Qi Mei look around frequently and murmured in her heart, Master, this face is getting longer and wider, which will become a disaster.
She was used to looking at Dongfang Yi's evil face every day, and she couldn't help but look at her master a few more times.
So beautiful.
No wonder, during the day, Zhang Zhi was in so much pain and still stared at his master that he was beaten by Chu Jingqi.
Hey, I don’t know what happened to the people. If there was someone good or bad, would Zhang Wenzu, who was protecting the calf at all costs, really let them go so easily?
Qi Mei felt a little worried.
Because it was too late, the senior brother also followed them back to Qi Mei's house and stayed in the guest room.
Xia Zihan and Qi Mei went to the warehouse to look at Nuanyu and Pearl. When they saw that both boxes were in good condition, the two women felt relieved.
After Qi Mei left, Chu Xing told her about how she and Ma Bao met a pervert halfway and were teased.
Xia Zihan said, "We all know about this. You were already gone when we went there. You don't have to worry about Zhang Zhi. We will handle it. He won't dare to trouble you in the future."< br>
"Yes, Master."
Chu Cang was not worried at all that Zhang Zhi would come to trouble her again.
A little prefect's son dared to tease her. Humph, he was a scumbag, and beating her would be in vain. If he dared to come again, she would continue to beat him until he dared not come again.
At night, after lying in bed, Xia Zihan rolled into Chu Jingqi's arms, played with his hair, and told him about the money, "I really have no place to raise money, and I am too embarrassed to talk to my senior brother. Borrowing, you said, buying his things and lending him money to pay the bill, what is this? ”
"We can't talk about credit. Whoever runs a shop doesn't offer credit like this. What's more, the eldest brother is just a shopkeeper. The shop belongs to the Dongfang family. The eldest brother has done too much. The Dongfang family can't explain it. Even the Dongfang Wing , To use the money in the shop, his father must agree. Besides, one hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.”
Xia Zihan's mouth was dry when she said it. Seeing that Chu Jingqi didn't speak and just listened quietly, she said again, "Aqi, how about you take the wooden sign and go to Desheng Bank to borrow it? It's mine. Even the previous One hundred thousand taels of silver, a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver. I will pay you back immediately after returning to Beijing.”
"What nonsense?" Chu Jingqi glared at her and laughed angrily at her words. He pinched her face gently and said as tenderly as water, "Silly girl, we are husband and wife. My money is your money. You can borrow it. From now on, you don't need to say this word to me. As long as I have it, as long as you need it." , you can use it as you like, Isn’t that wooden sign given to you? From now on, wherever there is a Desheng Bank, you can use the wooden sign to withdraw money. However, you can only withdraw up to one hundred thousand taels of silver at a time. Within three months, you can only withdraw money. Can mention it once.”
The last sentence is the key point.
When Xia Zihan heard this, his face immediately turned pale.
"Ah, Desheng Bank can't withdraw money, so what should we do? If we don't have money, we can't buy those goods."
It's such a pity. The goods this time are all good things, especially those boxes of top-quality gems. After entering the Jade Pavilion, another batch of top-quality jewelry can be made.
Chu Jingqi said, "What are you worried about? It's just one hundred thousand taels of silver. Tell your senior brother and ask him to keep the things for three days. Within three days, I will get you one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Then, he added, "One hundred thousand taels of silver is not enough. I will get you some more, enough for you to spend."
"Then what's the maximum we can get?" Xia Zihan thought he meant borrowing it from someone familiar.
If she could borrow it, that would be the best. Even if she couldn't, she would still have to be shameless enough to ask her senior brother for credit. After a month, she would pay it back to him with interest.
She has no money on hand now, but there is money in the shop in Beijing. She has been away from Beijing for half a year. During this half year, all the money in the shop in Beijing has been deposited in the shop account. Calculated based on past income, during this half year, excluding the money for purchases , the two shops already have three or four hundred thousand taels of silver in deposits.
As long as she immediately sends a message back by flying pigeons, asking Qi Lan to raise a sum of money and ride a horse from the capital, day and night, it will be almost a month away.
"Well, I don't know. It depends on how much cash you have." Chu Jingqi said vaguely.
Xia Zihan was happy and no longer worried about raising money. The next day, she told Qi Mei about the matter, and Qi Mei went to her senior brother, who agreed wholeheartedly.
"Don't say stay for three days, stay for ten days. If you ask, I have to agree, otherwise, junior brother will not let me go." Senior brother joked.
Qi Mei's goal was achieved, and she was in the mood to tease her senior brother, "Senior brother, you really don't want to start a family? Let me tell you, this time, my master came, and the eldest maid Chu Xing who came with her was very beautiful. All in martial arts Her skills are also very good, even better than mine, especially her temperament, which is called a good one, and her service skills are also first-class. If you miss her, you will definitely regret it. "
When she talks about serving people, she refers to maids serving their masters, not women serving men.
The eldest brother has been traveling around all year round. He is used to seeing all kinds of beauties and hearing all kinds of words. He misunderstood Qi Mei's words. He frowned and said, "I know how to serve people, so I'd better stay away."
Then, he asked curiously, "She knows how to serve men, so is she the maid of Prince Chu's wife?"
He heard that in those wealthy families where officials were serving, some of the girls serving the young master would have to be let out if their mistress did not allow her to continue serving the male master when they reached an age. Could it be said that Princess Chu Yu this time Did you bring that girl named Chu Cong out just to give her a husband?
When the elder brother's brain got hot, he completely lost his mind.
