Xu Wanzhen estimated the time in her heart, if she could recognize Han Runiang back to the Xu family in May, she would be able to catch up with the time when He Ergongzi returned to Beijing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWhen the two meet, it will be logical to marry a good concubine.

After talking about the value of the property and talking about the delivery of the silver money, Ao Da shopkeeper said: "Three million taels of silver, divided into three parts, are stored in the 'Tongzheng Money Village', 'Xianheng Silver Number', and 'Shengkang Long Money Village' in Luoyang City. Old lady, you can withdraw this bill and small seal at any time if it is less than 100,000 taels. If the quota is exceeded, you need to make an appointment one week in advance to give the money bank time to raise money. ”

Xu Wanzhen was looking at Qian Zhuang's bills, which were somewhat similar to the VIP card of the "Drunken White Building" yesterday. It's all the size of a palm, but the money bank bill can be opened and closed, the front is the name of the money bank, and there are ten special seals in it, and it is estimated that one seal corresponds to 100,000 taels of silver. When withdrawing silver, it is necessary to have complete bills and small prints to ensure security to the greatest extent.

This is quite similar to the modern term deposit certificate. Xu Wanzhen had thought before that such a large amount of silver taels, even if they were all large amount of silver tickets, would be inconvenient to keep. This bank has initially possessed the functions of a modern bank, and the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

Biluo put away the bill and the small seal, and the shopkeeper Ao Da chatted with Mrs. Xu. As the big shopkeeper in charge of the He family's business, Ao Xingliang has traveled from south to north and has seen a lot of things. He is quite eloquent, and he knows how to do what people like, and when he chatted from all over the world, he listened to Mrs. Xu and Xu Wan really relish.

Mrs. Xu left him for lunch, and the shopkeeper Ao said goodbye.

Xu Wanzhen helped Mrs. Xu, and the two walked in the yard to eat and talk. I told Mrs. Xu about the affairs that I had ordered in the flower hall in the morning.

"You can arrange these things, and my wife will wait to enjoy the blessings. Old Madam Xu said happily.

Xu Wanzhen pursed her lips and smiled, "That's because grandmother has a good granddaughter like me!" After thinking for a while, she said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter has something to discuss with you." ”

Old Madam Xu patted her hand and motioned for her to continue.

"Tomorrow, we can start a gang by ourselves. The granddaughter thought, seeing that it was Gu Yu, and at that time our side was also straightened out, and invited the great-grandfather, aunt, and uncle's family to come to Qingzhuyuan to eat a toon feast. ”

"Qingming breaks the snow, the valley rain breaks the frost", the valley rain is the last solar term of spring, which means that the cold weather is basically over, and the girls and ladies who love beauty in every household have to change their spring shirts one after another and wear lighter and more beautiful summer clothes.

Before and after the rain in the valley is the season when the toon is on the market, the toon at this time is mellow and refreshing, and there is a saying that "the toon is tender as silk before the rain". From ancient times to the present, there is a custom of eating toon in Guyu on this day, and it is no exception in the Gaomang Dynasty.

Xu Wan really wanted to take advantage of this toon banquet to pay tribute to the Lin family's "care" in the past few days, and by the way, to see if she could bring Cui Sleeves to Qingzhu Yuan to meet Du Caizhi's request.

Old Madam Xu said: "It is not easy to manage a banquet, even if it is such a small family banquet. Since you want to do it, let Mama Zheng help you, and I'll let Yulu come over to help. ”

Xu Wanzhen smiled: "Sure enough, my grandmother feels sorry for her granddaughter." Then I'll go and ask the elders, and by the way, ask my aunt to find a few maids for us. ”

Out of Qingzhu Garden, Xu Wanzhen took Sangzi and went to "Songtao Courtyard" and "Hanmei Courtyard" successively, and Mrs. Tu and Tu Qiongyu responded in one bite. When she went to the "Changhong Temple", Lin heard her coming, and said impatiently: "This is not a year, why is she here? Let her in." ”

Hexiang opened the curtain, greeted him with a smile, and said, "What kind of wind is blowing today?" Miss Xu is actually here, please come in quickly." ”

Xu Wanzhen nodded with a smile, entered the room to give a salute, and said, "I've seen my eldest uncle." ”

A smirk appeared on Lin's face and said, "Yo, it's really here." But what's wrong with the subordinates? ”

Xu Wanzhen naturally didn't take this kind of face seriously, and said with a smile: "How can it be?" It's good up and down, and the Xu family lives very comfortably here." Hearing this, Lin's heart was suffocated, and he heard her continue: "Auntie, Zhen'er came here this time to thank you." The kitchen has been renovated, and I would like to invite you to the toon banquet on the day of Gu Yu. ”

A few days ago, Mrs. Anping Hou invited me Gu Yu to eat toon in Dabei Temple, and I have already complied. "Lin didn't want to go to Qingzhuyuan, but fortunately, she invited Lin Anjia first, which happened to be a good excuse.

The Lin family was reluctant to participate, Xu Wanzhen was not surprised, and said: "Since the eldest aunt has an appointment, then Zhen'er will leave some toons, do it according to Jiangnan's practice, and send it to you on the second day." ”

Xu Wanzhen was warm and thoughtful, and the Lin family couldn't wipe off her face, so she responded again and again, and asked, "Who else is going to this toon banquet?"

"I have invited my great-grandfather and aunt, and Gu Yu will arrive that day. ”

Tu Qiongyu is just that, Old Lady Tu is something that the Lin family cares about very much. It was an excuse to go to the Great Compassion Temple to eat toon, she actually just wanted to complain to her sister Lin Anjia, but in order to hide people's eyes, she had to travel with her family.

Qingzhuyuan's toon banquet, if there is no one in the big house, I am afraid that the old lady Tu will think that she is dissatisfied with the Xu family. simply let Li and Yan go, and she will have all her face, and she will be able to get out. Thinking of this, Lin said: "I can't come, let your eldest cousin and little cousin come to have a good time." ”

After saying this, Xu Wanzhen said again: "There is one more thing, Zhen'er wants to ask her aunt for help." ”

Lin raised his eyebrows and asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?" ”

"When the Xu family first came to the capital, the manpower was really limited, and there was a shortage of several maids. I discussed with my grandmother to see if I could pick some of the Tu family's children? ”

"Oh, pick a maid?" Lin replied, thinking quickly in his heart. The Tu family has two generations of children, she is in charge of the house, in order to save monthly silver, except for the necessary pomp, if you can, you don't need it. If you want to raise a maid or a small maid, which one is not money?

At present, in the back alley of Tu's house, there are many half-grown children and girls who have no work, so they can only do some chores at home to help make up for the family. Some of the older family members have begged her several times to get errands for their juniors. If you continue to shirk it, I am afraid that you will end up with a reputation of being stingy.

This is an opportunity, if the Xu family can pick some people to go, it would be great. Not only does she not need to pay money, but also solves the problem, this kind of good thing, why not push the boat with the water? This time, Lin's smile was a little sincere, and he said, "Then tell me, how many people are needed?"

"Back to my aunt, it would be best if I could have five or six maids. Xu Wanzhen didn't say it to death, picking a maid in the Tu family, where is it as simple as the Lin family thinks.

The Xu family has just arrived, and they are not familiar with everything, and Mrs. Xu plans to stay for a long time. For example, this time the Lin family embarrassed them on the meal, and the Xu family could only pinch their noses and admit it, who made them unfamiliar with their lives?
