Chapter 286: Returning Home

Yan Songbai only felt angry, and said to the entourage: "You go outside to see, that Mrs. Wan, is it Aunt Wan in our house, quietly, don't alarm people, and don't tell anyone." ”

The attendant had no choice but to agree. He left the quiet room and went to the plum garden outside, where the ladies were still admiring the flowers, and he used the excuse that Wan Songbai had dropped a jade pendant when he was walking in the garden just now, and wanted to ask the people in the princess's mansion to help find it. Those subordinates didn't dare to slack off when they heard this, and hurriedly told Princess Qingyun that Princess Qingyun also attached great importance to it, and asked people to bring that entourage to ask what was going on.

The entourage had already prepared his words, answered Princess Qingyun's question unhurriedly, and at the same time quietly looked at the famous Mrs. Wan beside Princess Qingyun, and at a glance, he was surprised, it was really the Aunt Wan in the previous mansion, but her temperament had changed a lot, and she was more plump and beautiful, and she was full of nobility, which was more noble than when she was in Qingyang City's Assassination Mansion.

I was shocked in my heart, but there was no leakage on my face, after all, I was a servant who had been trained for many years, and I still had this ability. I saw that Princess Qingyun assigned a few subordinates to search for him under the plum tree, and after a while, he pretended to shout and said, "I found it, it's at the root of this plum tree." ”

After speaking, she took out the jade pendant that she had prepared a long time ago, Princess Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and said to the ladies around her: "It must be Lord Yan who looked at the plum blossoms, just thinking about Fu Shi, and I didn't know that the belt tied with the jade pendant was loose, so it fell to the root of the plum blossom tree." ”

A lady on the side joked and said: "That's not necessarily, this Lord Yan is well-known for his romance, maybe it's because he sees the plum blossoms bloom well, and he thinks of the plum blossom fairy." It's not necessary to give the jade pendant to the plum blossom fairy? ”

Everyone laughed, and that was the end of it. Wan Shuhui looked at the back of the servant who was far away, and snorted coldly, how could this little trick hide from her. As Yan Songbai's beloved concubine, she has been in charge of the internal affairs of Qingyang City's Thorn History Mansion for so many years, if she can't even recognize Yan Songbai's henchmen, isn't she blind?

Wan Shuhui thought to herself. It must be that Yan Songbai also saw himself in this banquet, although he had changed a little before, but after all, he was a person who had shared the same bed for so many years, how could he not recognize himself. It's just that he wasn't sure yet, so he sent this entourage to recognize it. Hmph, I'm afraid it's going to be a lot of things from now on. But isn't that exactly what you want? Come home rich or famous. If it is not recognized, it is not equivalent to a night walk in brocade, how boring it is.

Yan Songbai listened to the words of his entourage, and the anger in his heart became even more unbearable, it was really that Aunt Wan, what did this girl want to do? Yan Songbai did not wait for the banquet to end. Under the pretext of being unwell, he took his leave and went home, the host of the banquet. Princess Qingyun's concubine greeted Yan Songbai with a concerned face, and sent someone to send her home. After Yan Songbai left, a person next to him said with a smile: "This Yan Songbai, he has been used to being romantic all his life, this time he may have met the plum blossom essence in the plum blossom forest of the horse family, I heard that his jade pendant just fell into the plum blossom forest, or the princess sent someone to find it, and this time he is unwell." It was okay just now, drinking and writing poems, and his face changed greatly at this time. Don't be sucked by the plum blossom essence, right? ”

The horse smiled and scolded: "You are a person, you are a special nonsense, I am a good plum blossom forest, and you are a monster when you say this, it is really annoying, come on, don't talk about this, hurry up and take a look at the poems you wrote." Hey, no wonder you're talking nonsense, it turns out that you didn't write a word, and you want to find an excuse to get by, this can't work, hurry up, let's see how to punish him. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and everyone had a great time on this day.

Wan Shuhui is also very happy, at this banquet, Wan Shuhui also recited a poem, and also played a pipa, very vote for the fate of these ladies, and made friends with a few wives and grandmothers, which will definitely attract a few more customers to her bank.

As soon as Yan Songbai returned home, he sent his own people to inquire about this Futai Bank, and also found a housekeeper to come over and ask about Aunt Wan in detail.

In the evening, news from all walks of life gathered, and Yan Songbai almost fell down in anger. This Futai Bank was founded by Princess Lichuan, and even Wan Shuhui lived in the princess's mansion at the beginning, and she didn't move to the bank until the bank was built.

These are not the main things, what makes Yan Songbai most angry is that even if this Wan Shuhui returns to the capital, he is still doing business with great fanfare, and that's it, he didn't even change his name, he directly used the name Wan Shuhui. Actually, Yan Songbai still didn't believe that it was really Aunt Wan's return, but when he saw the words "Wan Shuhui" written on the name card given by Wan Shuhui, Yan Songbai was furious, as Aunt Wan's former husband, how could he not know Aunt Wan's maiden name? Now the name has spread among the wealthy and aristocratic circles. It's ridiculous that I'm still in the dark.

In addition to these, there is also some news that proves that this Wan Shuhui has a great relationship with the Chen family, how did Yan Songbai get down from the position of Huzhou Thorn History, it is not Chen Yuanheng who harmed him, Chen Yuanheng hurt him and lost his fat, moreover, Chen Yuanheng is still a loyal supporter of the fourth prince Liu Yan, and he is the prince's person, this is the enemy, Wan Shuhui actually became the enemy's person, and he made such a big noise, doesn't he want to be angry with him?

Wait, what kind of business is this Wan Shuhui? is to open a bank, it is to gather everyone's money, and it is a business that is more advanced than the money bank, isn't this equivalent to preparing money for Liu Yan? Liu Yan is rich, what will he do? will recruit troops, defeat the crown prince, will make him fall from the position of a high-ranking official to a prisoner, will change the owner of this huge house, and will beat his wife and children to the bottom of society. I shudder to think about it, how vicious this woman is.

Looking at what the housekeeper said, the things that the lady copied out from Aunt Wan's room at the beginning, a total of less than two thousand taels of scattered silver tickets, some low-grade jewelry, and even rattan bracelets with gold and silver, gold-covered hairpins, etc., what are these? These were used by Aunt Wan to reward those servants. He still remembered that this was piled up in the city in Aunt Wan's box.

Mrs. actually thought that she had taken a big advantage, she didn't even copy a few of Aunt Wan's clothes, there were silk and satin clothes, but those precious fur clothes, none of them, he still remembered, Aunt Wan had a few sets of Shu brocade clothes, which were very precious, wearing on Aunt Wan's body, magnificent, and I didn't find any of them.

Although he has always cared about the affairs of the house, he is not a fool, when he was in Qingyang City, how many people went to give gifts to Aunt Wan in order to slap him, the things he gave were real money, rare treasures, and ordinary things really couldn't be used. Also, how many things did he give to the Wan family in his reign? Although Wan Jia gave him a lot of filial piety, but he must have paid a lot of filial piety to Aunt Wan, he didn't care about it before, because these are the money given by the woman's mother's family, and he has not yet made it to the point of asking for a woman's private money, but now, this money is taken out to deal with him, this is different, this is to kill him, or to buy a knife with his money, where is this reasonable?

Also, if this matter is known to the prince, will the prince doubt his loyalty, will he suspect that he secretly supports Wan Shuhui, and then supports Liu Yan, then what awaits him will be a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Yan Songbai seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and he was restless, Yan Songbai turned around in the study a few times, and went to his wife's room with a belly of fire.

When Mrs. Yan saw her husband come in, she stood up with a smile, asked Yan Songbai to do it, and took the tea cup from the maid's hand and gave it to Yan Songbai to drink.

Mrs. Yan has been very happy for the past two days, she is settling the accounts, and she is even happier to see the old man enter the house. You know, although the lord respects her, he rarely goes to her room, after all, she is not young now, and she has grandchildren, how can she compare with those charming concubines in the backyard. Especially the jewel, he actually gave birth to a son, the old man has a son, he cherishes it very much, and he loves the pearl and the pearl very much.

Yan Songbai looked at his wife and asked gloomily, "Madam, what are you doing?" Why are all these ledgers scattered here? ”

Mrs. Yan hurriedly smiled and said: "Master, that's the case, there are more people in our house now, the expenses are large, but the income is not as good as before, I thought it would be best to save some, let me find a way to save a few days ago, I was thinking about sending some guards home, so that I can save a lot of money, clothes, weapons, lights and meals every month." I'm thinking if I can use the money I save to add some profitable properties to make up for it. ”

Yan Songbai sighed in his heart, his wife is worthy of being from a big family, and the housekeeper is still first-class. Thinking of this, Yan Songbai's tone softened, and said, "Madam has worked hard, it's really a rainy day." I don't know what the idea is, can I save money? Why do you want to send the guards away? ”

Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "That's the case, our family's treasury doesn't need to be guarded, so there are a lot of guards left, so I'll let this part of the guards go." ”

Yan Songbai frowned and said, "The guards of the silver treasury, without the silver treasury, where will we put our money?" Ah, have you all saved it in the bank, that's also a lot of money, and the monthly storage fee is not a small number? ”

Mrs. Yan smiled even more happily and said, "That's the case, I was introduced by a friend and deposited the money in a new bank, where there is no storage fee and interest is returned." This saves the money of the guards, and you can also get interest, which adds up to a lot of money every year. With this money, you can add a few more acres of land and a few more shops, isn't it good? ”

Yan Songbai thought badly, and hurriedly asked: "Which money bank is it?" ”

Mrs. Yan said: "It's just that this name is a bit strange, it's not called Qianzhuang, it's called Futai Bank." ”

Yan Songbai didn't control it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Second, for the sake of my diligence, let's get some tickets.
