The autumn leaves are fluttering, and the master and servant look at each other without saying a word, adding infinite desolation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The girl knelt at Mrs. Zhen's feet, tears welled up for a while, and she said earnestly: "What are you going to do with Madame? When tomorrow's event is over, that is, Huitong Qian Zhuang is not there, and our master and servant can still survive together." Why does the lady want to dismiss all the slaves and maids, and not a single one of the servants by her side will be left?"

Mrs. Zhen said perfunctorily: "I have my own good sisters in the past who can settle down, but it is inconvenient to ask her to take in others again." You can live in peace, if I buy my own house in the future, I will definitely come back to look for you, okay?"

The girl responded with tears in her eyes, cut her evening makeup for Mrs. Zhen, and came out to eat with everyone.

The best bamboo leaves are all wine. The guys each toasted Mrs. Zhen, although they all took a small sip, Mrs. Zhen was also drunk.

helped the girl back to the room, and Mrs. Zhen naturally rested early because she had a tough battle to fight tomorrow.

The girl tiptoed out, returned to her room, and when she opened the brocade box left for her, there were several yellow gold bars, plus a pair of arabesque scroll bracelets made of red gold, hairpins and earrings of the same style, and a full 1,000 taels of silver tickets.

The jewelry was fashionable and festive, not hastily made, but really a dowry prepared for himself early. Thinking of such a good master, but she can no longer serve the left and right, the girl burst into tears again.

Early in the morning of the second day, the front of Huitong Money Village was crowded.

The men removed the door panels, and the crowd swarmed in. When she came in, Mrs. Zhen was dressed in bright red, with her hair in a bun, and was already sitting upright at the counter on the right.

The huge shop is divided into two rooms on the left and right with a large insert screen, and there are some scattered silver piles on the back of the counter, and the drawer behind the counter is a neat silver ticket, all of which are from the most unobstructed Guangyuan money village today. A few men took out the account books, and just waited for the verification to be correct, and then cashed the cash on the spot.

In the counter on the right, there are three inner cabinets invited by other pawnshops on the left and right, dressed brightly and with solemn expressions.

Guangyuan, Caimao, and Litong are all well-known pawnshops and silver buildings in Yangzhou City, and they are all witnesses invited by Mrs. Zhen. Seeing the presence of these famous and respected people, the people crowded outside felt at ease, thinking that most of the money had been settled.

Mrs. Zhen's expression was indifferent, the girl stood behind her, and there were more than a dozen brocade boxes on the case.

Looking at the noisy situation in front of her, Mrs. Zhen raised her hand to signal, and some men stepped forward to arrange for everyone to line up according to their age, with the young taking the initiative to go backward and the old going forward first.

This arrangement is also reasonable, they are all villagers, and the young are naturally embarrassed to crowd with the elderly.

I took a receipt from a septuagenarian, with no more than ten taels of silver on it. The man immediately turned the abacus, calculated the interest he deserved, took the silver from the money box behind him, and weighed it to the old man with interest.

On the left, the redemption is in order. Here on the right, Mrs. Zhen sighed in her heart, and then signaled to the girl, ordering her to open the brocade box.

Inside the first brocade box was a coral tree several feet high. The bright red coral has no variegated color, and is as red as a flame. Mrs. Zhen marked the reserve price of 80,000 yuan, and asked the shopkeepers to increase the price.

Mrs. Zhen has good goods in her hands, all of which cannot be bought with silver. These shopkeepers had already been instructed by the proprietor, and they brought enough money with them.

In normal times, not to mention the mere 80,000 yuan of silver, it would be doubled, and it would not be possible to buy this priceless coral tree. The six families unanimously raised their cards together.

After a while, Mrs. Zhen made a final decision, and Li Tong auctioned the coral tree for 120,000 silver, and paid Guangyuan's silver ticket on the spot. Mrs. Zhen counted correctly, and ordered the girl to immediately hand it to the counter on the left for emergency.

Huitong and Guangyuan, is the two largest money in Yangzhou, since the squeeze of Huitong, Guangyuan has not been affected at all, and now everyone has seen Guangyuan's silver ticket, naturally reassuring.

In the morning, Mrs. Zhen's cages were auctioned for a total of 2.6 million cash, and all the silver tickets were taken to the left to be cashed out to the crowd who were still lining up.

Seeing that the counter on the right was empty, only the empty cage remained, Mrs. Zhen sighed suddenly, remembering that she had not eaten a grain of rice for half a day, so she ordered the girl to pour a bowl of tea to quench her thirst.

As night fell, the long queue finally began to shrink, and the hearts of the people were settled. In the money box behind the guys, there was still a thin layer of silver tickets left, and when he took the account book and roughly calculated, there was very little surplus.

During the period, Yangzhou County guarded the micro-clothes twice, and looked at Huitong, which was squeezed into a pot of porridge, and was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

He still has 100,000 silver in his name, and he wants his subordinates to fish in troubled waters and pretend to be ordinary people to pay it. The guy knew who was coming by looking at the name, and the document was instructed by Mrs. Zhen on the spot and thrown it out directly.

When the golden crow fell, it was Qionghua all over the ground, and the last young man held the silver ticket of five hundred taels in his hand, and stood up satisfied, and Mrs. Zhen was also relieved.

There are more than 300 taels of silver tickets left in the money box, and there are hundreds of taels of silver scattered behind it, which is all the belongings of Huitong Money Village at this moment.

The former wealthy money bank ended up like this, and many of the people who exchanged the money did not leave immediately, but still gathered around Huitong, watching with an indescribable mood.

Mrs. Zhen stood up, her wrist wrapped over the hair that slipped down her sideburns, and then moved her stiff muscles and bones, and bowed to the surroundings, her voice clear and clear.

"Dear folks, the Huitong Money Village will end in my hands from today. It's not that my Zhen is not doing well, but my arms can't twist my thighs. ”

Seeing that there were still people from the government scattered around the crowd, wanting to move, Mrs. Zhen was willing to give them a chance, and continued: "The Hubu Shangshu of the dynasty was the real proprietor behind the disdainful money village, and he took most of the money, but refused to spit it out and cash it out. I spent all my life savings to return everyone's hard-earned money and food. It's just that I have received it on behalf of others, and I am not angry in my heart, and I must explain it to you one by one. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below. Yangzhou County Shou was dressed in green clothes and mixed in the crowd, hearing that Mrs. Zhen was so ruthless, she was so anxious that she really stomped her feet.

Mrs. Zhen continued to be impassioned: "The silver taels paid today are all loose silver below 1,000 taels. As for the capital that those dignitaries put in the money village and wanted to make money with money, they let them go down the drain. If there is a debtor, there is a debtor, and whoever you should look for will go to whomever you want. ”

Pointing to the Yangzhou county guard hiding in the crowd, Mrs. Zhen shouted: "My lord, you know all the scenes here, is the woman right?"

was taught by Mrs. Zhen to break the hidden, and the county guard complained bitterly. He has always been unpopular with the people, if it weren't for the efforts of Qian Weizhen, Liu Ben and others in the imperial city to maintain it, it would be impossible to stabilize his official position.
