Chapter Forty-Eight: The Four Seas Money Village
"Uncle Li, you don't need to entertain me, go and get busy with you." The young man who called himself Chang Yanxiao said to the shopkeeper who walked out of the counter.
This person named Chang Yanxiao looks polite, but I don't know if it's pretending or the essence. I just heard the shopkeeper call him Shaodongjia, it seems that this money bank belongs to his family.
An idea popped into his mind, he said that he had seen me, and he didn't know if he could borrow money from him by rubbing this familiar face......
Before I could figure out how to speak, Chang Yanxiao spoke first: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, can you stay and drink a cup of hot tea, it will be regarded as a confession to the girl." ”
His voice was gentle, and a faint smile didn't make people feel rusty, and it wasn't too polite.
Since there was something to ask for, it was time to push the boat with the flow, so he replied: "Thank you!" ”
Chang Yanxiao smiled, his heroic eyes seemed to be shining, he nodded slightly and made a gesture of please, and then walked in front to lead the way. I followed, and followed him through the side door to a spacious room in the back.
The layout of this room is very elegant, the walls are full of calligraphy and paintings, and the flowing brushwork looks like it is from the hands of famous artists. All the chairs, stools, tables and tables are beautifully crafted and have a faint woody scent.
A servant brought tea, and he and I sat face to face at the coffee table under one wall.
Chang Yanxiao smiled and said, "There is no good tea, don't laugh at the girl." I don't know what to call the girl? ”
"I ...... Surname Bai ...... Mingli. I said, at the mention of the name, I thought of the man who had chosen my name.
"It turned out to be a white girl, I saw a white girl being bullied on the street that day......"
Before he could finish his sentence, I interrupted in a hurry, "Which day?" "I thought in my heart that it wouldn't be the day I was slapped in the face by Yi Zhihua, it would be too embarrassing, although I didn't know him well.
"For a while, the girl was alone...... Originally, I wanted to help the girl, but it was a step too late, and the girl solved it herself. It seems that the white girl has also practiced. ”
Chang Yanxiao finished speaking with a smile, and I also understood which day he was referring to.
"I just know a little bit about this." I laughed.
"The girl has a neat shot, but she understands a little."
I laugh.
Chang Yanxiao said again: "Did the white girl come to the money bank to deposit silver?" Thank you for the patronage of the trumpet. ”
"No, I'm here to borrow a tael, but I don't have a collateral or ......a guarantor," I said.
"I see. How much does the White Girl want to borrow? ”
"Nine hundred taels of silver, isn't that too much?" The latter sentence is completely asking, and I don't think it's appropriate until I'm done. If he found out that I didn't understand the value of money in this era, he probably wouldn't dare to borrow me.
Fortunately, Chang Yanxiao thought it was a sigh, and he said: "Nine hundred taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, I don't know what the white girl is borrowing so many silver taels for?" ”
"I want to open a hot pot restaurant in the city, but unfortunately I don't have the principal myself." I say.
Chang Yanxiao looked at me suspiciously: "What about the white girl's family?" Why do you want to do these things yourself? ”
I don't think it's strange what he said, in ancient times, women wouldn't show their heads out and do anything, unless it was a green building.
"To tell you the truth, my family is very poor, so I came out to make a living. You also know that I am a woman, and if I let my family know, I will definitely not agree. I guess I'd wait until I'm done to tell them. ”
This is not just a casual statement. If Zhuo Ran and my titular mother-in-law knew, Zhuo Ran wouldn't say anything, and his mother would definitely not agree, the tradition of this society is that women still stay at home.
"The White Girl is such a strong woman. It's just that...... What is 'hot pot'? Eat or use? Chang Yanxiao asked.
I'm confused, is there no hot pot in ancient times? Or is it a different name? So he explained: "Hot pot is in a pot, put soup stock, and then put in a variety of dishes to cook together......"
Before I finished speaking, Chang Yanxiao suddenly realized: "What the white girl said is a warm pot? ”
"Warm pot?" That's what they call it, almost!
"Hot pot? That's what it's called, but it's kind of like that. There is a charcoal fire under the pot. I also like to eat hot pot in the next, well, it's hot pot. It's just that the summer is too hot, and I haven't eaten it in recent months. If you do want to open such a shop, business may not be very good on a hot day. ”
"Thanks for the reminder, I think I can figure it out. Just now...... I don't have any money, and it looks like my plans are going to fail. I said in frustration.
"Miss Bai don't have to worry, the matter of money can be guaranteed for you in the next, presumably the white girl also knows, in the next is the young owner here." Chang Yanxiao said.
"But why are you embarrassed to trouble you like this, besides, if we meet in Pingshui, you are not afraid that I am a liar?" I say.
"Haha." Chang Yanxiao snorted and said: "I believe that I won't look at the wrong person, if the white girl is really such a person, it will be a lesson in the next." ”
"You are so open-minded, people who think like this will be happy and carefree in life." I say.
"Really? I hope so. Chang Yanxiao said with a smile.
"It will be like this. It doesn't seem to be early, I have to go home. I said.
Chang Yanxiao stood up and said, "Since the white girl wants to leave, she won't stay in the future." Let's take the girl to get the silver ticket first. ”
"Thank you!"
I walked back to the front side by side, Chang Yanxiao personally took the silver ticket of 900 taels and handed it to me, but he didn't seem to have the intention of making an IOU, and finally I said: "Write an IOU, and there will be a voucher in the future." ”
Chang Yanxiao said: "No need, the girl just needs to use it first, and then she will earn back the principal, and then she can pay it back when she wants, and the interest will be counted." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, I think it's better to follow your original rules!" If you can not owe someone, it is better not to owe.
At my insistence, I finally wrote an IOU, and the interest I should have paid was also written.
"Thank you, I'll pay it back with interest." I said before leaving.
"When will the White Girl open, remember to inform the following, and make up your mind to bring your friends to the party." Chang Yanxiao said.
I thanked him again, and he escorted me to the door.
"There will be a date later!" I learned a farewell phrase that I used to see on TV.
"There will be a date later!" Chang Yanxiao also said this.
When I returned to Zhuo Ran's house, at the gate, I saw Yi Zhihua and her maid again, as well as Zhuo Ran and his mother also standing outside the door. Don't know what you're doing.
"You're back?" Zhuo Ran saw me first.
Yi Zhihua turned her head to see me, and suddenly her whole body trembled, and she grabbed the maid next to her and pointed at me and shouted, "Master, come out quickly, the demon girl is here." ”
"How can Xiao Li be a demon, Miss Yi, are you mistaken?" Xu said with a smile.
"There can be no mistake, Miss Ben hit twice...... Evil...... It's all because of her. Yi Zhihua said.
"Please, if you want to collect it, you have to accept yourself, it's you who screams, can normal people scream and jump so strangely?" I'm going to hit a rake.
"You ......" Yi Zhihua was so angry that she couldn't speak, maybe she was afraid that I would do something to her again.
"Youkai, look at the sword!"
A mellow voice followed a figure out of the door, approaching me with a bright golden light......
