Chapter 660 Confession
"Xiao Mei, be good, you'd better be careful." Dongfang Yi held the chair before she sat on it. After Qi Mei sat down, he let go and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Seeing that he was serving Qi Mei carefully like a wife slave, Xia Zihan pursed her lips and smiled, "Dongfang Yi, you are too nervous."
Dongfang Yi was thick-skinned and was not afraid of being laughed at. He said without changing his expression, "When you get pregnant, maybe Crown Prince Chu will be more nervous than me."
Xia Zihan's smile froze.
She had been married for several years. Although the couple got together less and separated more, they still did a lot of things. Not to mention the month after the marriage, for more than a month, Chu Jingqi was like an insatiable beast, night after night. Staying at the inn, every night and every night, he would not let go of her, and she could not sleep unless he was fed.
They did it so frequently and so many times, but there was no movement in their stomachs at all.
God knows how much she wants a child.
In her previous life, she had no children of her own, so in this life...could she not have any?
Thinking of this possibility, Xia Zihan's heart tightened, and the smile on his face became a little stiff, "Even if I am pregnant and the first one, Aqi will definitely be nervous, but you are the third one." ”
When Xia Zihan mentioned the children, he glanced at him, "I have never seen these two children before. Can't you send them away a few days later?"
Qi Mei suffered from morning sickness after getting the rash and became pregnant. She couldn't even take care of the child, let alone the child. She felt weak all day long and had no energy at all.
Her two children, especially the older one, liked to bump into each other and jump around. Dongfang Yi was afraid that they would bump into Qi Mei, so he sent someone to take the children back to the Dongfang family.
Just three days before she arrived in Sun City.
"Next time, next time the children in Xiaomei's belly come out and grow up, I will take them to the capital to meet their grandfather." Dongfang Yi said.
That won't take more than three or four years.
However, with Dongfang Yi's promise, Xia Zihan felt better and stopped thinking about the fact that she was not pregnant.
In the morning, a group of people went to the senior brother's shop. Chu Jingqi handed two money boxes to the senior brother, which contained 153,628 taels of silver notes.
"Hey, you raised the money so quickly?" A trace of surprise flashed in the eldest brother's eyes. He thought he had to be prepared for credit.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "Thanks to Desheng Bank, I got it from the bank."
"You borrow usury?" The senior brother looked incredulous and asked curiously, "What's the interest rate?"
Desheng Bank's money can be borrowed, but the interest rate is very high. If you borrow one thousand taels of silver for half a year, you will get 300 taels of interest.
More than one hundred thousand taels of silver, how much interest will you get?
Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan looked at each other and smiled, and Chu Jingqi said, "You don't need interest on your own money."
"What do you mean?" Senior Brother's head dazzled for a moment, then he looked at Chu Jingqi in disbelief and said, "Is Desheng Bank yours?"
Chu Jingqi snorted coldly and arrogantly.
The eldest brother clicked his tongue and said, "It turns out that there is such a big backer behind Desheng Bank. No wonder no one dares to touch it."
Then, he said excitedly and shamelessly, "Say hello to your shopkeeper. If I can't make money in the future, give me an interest-free loan."
"It's easy to talk to. As long as the bank has it, it's not a big amount, and I can give you interest-free." Seeing how the elder brother helped Ayu, he could lend a hand to help the elder brother.
The senior brother was happy, "Then let's make an agreement. It's almost the end of the New Year. After the New Year, in the spring, I will go to buy goods. I will bring more money with me so that I can buy more goods."< br>
Chu Jingqi hummed, "I'll say hello to the bank manager, and I'll give you interest-free for three months within one hundred thousand taels of silver." This condition was like pie in the sky, and immediately, the senior brother He waved his hand happily and said, "This time, I will give you another five hundred jade boxes."
Five hundred jade boxes cost one thousand taels of silver. This time, I made more money.
Qi Meile's eyes turned into slits with laughter, "Elder brother, thank you very much."
After paying the payment, counting the goods, and moving the goods back to Qi Mei's house, Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi went back to their rooms to discuss and decided to leave for Beijing in three days.
"Master, don't you want to play for a few more days? Why are you leaving so soon?" Qi Mei was a little reluctant to leave. She hadn't seen the princess for several years. It was a rare meeting. After spending a few days together, she was about to be separated again. Her mood He was a little depressed, "Chu Fei hasn't arrived yet, why don't you wait for her?"
"Counting the days, she should arrive in the next two days." Xia Zihan said, "It's already October. This batch of goods will be delivered to the capital before mid-November, and before December, these goods will be delivered to the capital." Just make the jewelry.”
There is also the piece of warm jade. She wants to make it into a jade pendant and sell it before the new year. By then, Cuiyuxuan will definitely make a lot of money.
She has designed the jade pendant's decorations.
Qi Mei said oh, then picked up the tea cup at hand, hiding her guilty conscience.
What should I do? The princess doesn't know that the business in all the shops has been very cold in the past two months. The more expensive things are, the harder they are to be sold. There is a lot of goods in each shop.
Do you want to tell the princess the truth?
After the princess finds out, I'm afraid she will be in a bad mood along the way, right?
But what if you don’t say it?
Let's talk about it anyway, the princess will know sooner or later.
Qi Mei thought about it, and finally decided to tell Xia Zihan about it.
After Xia Zihan heard this, she was stunned for a long time. She was not angry or angry, but her face was covered with black lines. She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Now, I finally understand why that person is so different from Aqi." Even at the age of 18, he can hang out with Aqi and become good brothers. It turns out that the bottom is here.”
They are all the same scheming and scheming people, letting people sell themselves out and happily counting their money.
"Who?"
Qi Mei didn't recognize who the person in her mouth was referring to, so she stretched her neck, widened her eyes, and asked curiously.
Xia Zihan curled his lips and said, "Besides the one sitting on the dragon throne, who else could be there?"
"Ah..."
Are you talking about the emperor?
Qi Mei was stunned.
"Isn't it? Just a small piece of jewelry and a small toy, and these ministers coaxed their hands to give him the silver, and they were grateful for his reward. Hmph... I see, he is the biggest corrupt official in the world."
However, he is the emperor, not to mention the money, even the whole Dasheng belongs to him.
If people are greedy, they are also greedy for their own money.
Qi Mei smiled guiltily, and then carefully told the story that she had also donated two hundred thousand taels of silver.
