Chapter 285: Slap in the face

This banquet is a flower feast held by Princess Qingyun's concubine, the capital is located in the north, it has already snowed, plum blossoms have begun to bloom, Princess Qingyun's concubine was originally an elegant person, the communication is very wide, the popularity of the scholars and nobles is good, there is a large piece of rare varieties of plum blossoms planted in the house, each flower blooms to invite friends to a party, called Xiangxue Banquet, it is also a big elegant thing in the capital.

Princess Qingyun is the aunt of Princess Lichuan, the family is very rich, after Princess Lichuan's matchmaking, the money is deposited in the Futai Bank, and there is interest every month, Princess Qingyun is very happy, in the past, in order to manage these silver, Princess Qingyun did not work hard, and dug a secret room, and built a silver vault, but also asked a large number of guards to guard, Rao is so, there was also a prison stealing thing, Princess Qingyun was half dead, since that incident, Princess Qingyun had to save part of the family's money in the bank. For this purpose, a large annual storage fee is paid.

Now it's good, since there is this Futai Bank, not only the money is stored there for insurance, and it can be withdrawn at any time, and there is no need to pay a custodian fee, and there is interest every month, although this money is not enough for Princess Qingyun to play a set of jewelry, but, after all, there is no need to pay, but to get money, how can a woman not be greedy for small and cheap, and the princess is no exception. Therefore, Princess Qingyun is familiar with Wan Shuhui. Wan Shuhui got Princess Qingyun as a big customer, and the deposits in the bank increased greatly, and Princess Qingyun also introduced many friends to her bank to deposit money, which made Wan Shuhui's business increase a lot at once. Of course, such a big customer has to be taken care of, so Princess Qingyun held a fragrant snow banquet, and Wan Shuhui naturally attended in full costume.

It's just that she didn't expect to meet Yan Songbai here. Since calling to the capital. Wan Shuhui knew that she would definitely meet Yan Songbai, the capital was so big, and there were so many people in the upper class, how could she not meet, but she didn't expect to meet at Princess Qingyun's mansion.

Yan Songbai is admiring plum blossoms with his friends and preparing to write a poem. Suddenly, Princess Qingyun passed under the plum tree with a group of ladies, and the friends around him hurriedly said to him, "Don't you want to see this Mrs. Wan?" Princess Qingyun's side was wearing a snow-blue makeup-faced silver mouse robe. ’

Yan Songbai hurriedly looked over, and saw a group of women in gorgeous clothes under a bright red plum blossom, most of whom knew each other, but the figure next to Princess Qingyun was the most slender, wearing a snow-blue makeup and silver mouse robe, with a green flower-sprinkled skirt slightly exposed underneath, and a flying fairy bun. Wearing a jade step shake, the sideburns are two lotus seeds and large pearls pierced into bead flowers, it looks magnificent, and extremely elegant, but always facing away from him. He just felt that this figure was a little familiar, and he couldn't say it, and he was looking at it. Suddenly, as soon as the beauty turned around, Yan Songbai saw that she was really a big beauty, luxurious and exquisite, and there was a gentleness like water in the beauty, this is a Jiangnan person.

Yan Songbai's friends saw Yan Songbai's stunned appearance and quipped: "Old Yan, you have taken a fancy to this Mrs. Wan, right?" She is a rich man, and she seems to be free, without a husband. You have to hurry, there are so many people staring at her. ”

Yan Songbai's face became redder and redder, and he looked angry. His friend looked strange and said, "This beauty is still ownerless, naturally everyone has a chance, why are you so angry?" Was it love at first sight? ”

Yan Songbai's heart was about to explode, but he couldn't get out, so he excused himself to be uncomfortable, went downstairs, and found a place to lie down. The friends around him saw that Yan Songbai's face was really wrong, and they didn't care about making jokes, so they hurriedly called Yan Songbai's servant to come over and helped Yan Songbai to the quiet room downstairs to rest.

Yan Songbai lay down, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered to his entourage, "Have you seen the appearance of that Mrs. Wan clearly?" ”

Where can that entourage see? Busy said: "Master, the little one was not upstairs just now, where did I see Mrs. Wan, which Mrs. Wan is?" ”

Yan Songbai said: "It is Mrs. Wan who has been ruthless in the capital recently. No matter how I think of her, she is the former Aunt Wan in our house, by the way, Mrs. Wan is also surnamed Wan, and Wanjia used to open a money bank, and she is more expert in this business than anyone else. ”

This entourage is a henchman who has been following Yan Songbai, and he is also following him in Qingyang City, how can he not be familiar with his concubine, Aunt Wan, who manages everything in the mansion? After listening to his master's words, he said, "Master, it's impossible, right? Since we returned to the capital, because this Aunt Wan made several mistakes in succession, she was punished by Mrs., the last time, Mrs. beat her badly, and then sold it, I know about the beating, covered in blood, how could she survive, I heard that it was bought by a foreigner, and then there was no news, we all thought she was dead. And, and? ”

Yan Songbai doesn't know about these things, he is a typical Confucian scholar's thoughts, the affairs of the inner courtyard of the family are handed over to the wife to manage, the concubines like it, they are pampered, unruly, and it is normal for the lady to teach a lesson, even if he is killed, he is given away, and he has not taken it to heart. Aunt Wan was sold, Yan Songbai also heard from his wife afterwards, he didn't take it seriously, he was a person who was tired of playing, where was it in his heart? At this moment, listening to the words of his entourage, it seemed that there were still some things he didn't know, and he hurriedly asked, "And what?" ”

The attendant hurriedly said: 'That's right, Madame sold Aunt Wan, who was out of the house, that is, she was wearing a bloody garment, and she didn't even have a baggage, and she didn't bring a replacement of clothes. Afterwards, the maid beside Mrs. Wan went to Aunt Wan's room in person, and moved Aunt Wan's things cleanly, and heard that there were a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as silver tickets. ”

This matter has been rumored in the house for a long time. These servants all talked about it in private, and they all said that Aunt Wan was not wrong, it was all Mrs. who deliberately found fault, and it was estimated that she fell in love with Aunt Wan's net worth.

Although Yan Songbai doesn't ask about the affairs of the inner house, he is not stupid, he has been a foreign official for so many years, he doesn't know anything, he is more shrewd than anyone else about the world, as soon as he heard the words of his entourage, he understood that his wife was interested in Aunt Wan's property and deliberately sent Aunt Wan away. Come to think of it, during his time as a thorn in Qingyang City, Aunt Wan was in charge of a fortune in the house, and she exercised the rights of Mrs. Thorn Shi, in that province, those noblewomen, officials, and wealthy businessmen, which one did not stammer, not to mention that she herself was born in a wealthy family, managing money, investing and operating, which no one can compare.

As for the silver tickets, gold and silver, jewelry and the like that Madame found, maybe Aunt Wan deliberately put them there to confuse Madame, Madame, a woman in the capital, where does she know the benefits of being a foreign official, and when she finds a little gold and silver, the silver tickets will be satisfied, where would she think that this Aunt Wan is more than these net worth?

The attendant said: "This Mrs. Wan, I have also heard that she claims to be a widow and has no husband, and she relies on the face of Princess Lichuan to do business in the capital. Her Futai Bank has been in the limelight in the capital recently, and her bank, unlike ordinary money banks, deposits money into it, does not have to pay custody fees, and pays interest. Now the wealthy people in the capital are vying to deposit money in her bank, after all, if you put it with her, you don't have to keep it yourself, you don't need to build a bank vault, you don't need to ask for a guard, and there is interest, who doesn't rush to do this kind of good thing? Even the people of Shengdou also put their net worth in it. ”

Yan Songbai asked: "She keeps the money for others for nothing and pays back the interest, isn't this a loss?" ”

The attendant said, "She doesn't lose money, she takes this money to take out a mortgage, I don't know how much she earns?" Now in the capital, if there are people who want to do business, they all ask her to borrow money? The interest rate is not low. Especially now that Shanghai City is newly built, the sea trade is very profitable, in our porcelain sold for ten taels of silver, as soon as we go overseas, you can sell it for one hundred taels of silver, many people in the capital have become sellers, ready to go to Shanghai City to live, thinking of buying a big ship, but also take the road of sea trade. Most of these people are looking for her to borrow money, first, she accepts pledges here, second, she is refreshing, fast to release money, third, anyone who goes to Shanghai City, as long as she saves money here, no need to bring money, as long as she issues a silver ticket, she can also be withdrawn in Shanghai City, she also has a semicolon in Shanghai City, and her owner is Princess Lichuan, that is the city lord of Shanghai City, she is familiar, and she can also help buy boats and shops. So, her bank has only been open for a long time, and business is doing well. I heard from the grapevine that the big money houses in the capital were overwhelmed by her, and they were about to find her bad luck, but because of the current Lichuan princess Zhenglong, she didn't dare to do it for a while. How can this person who can make such a big business be the aunt in our house? Moreover, this bank has to invest a lot of capital, Aunt Wan was rich at the beginning, but she left the house and didn't take anything with her? Where does the money come from to invest in business? ”

Although this entourage said so, his words strengthened Yan Songbai's heart even more, this person is his fifth aunt, Aunt Wan, others don't know, he has been a husband and wife with her for many years, how can he not understand this Aunt Wan?

Thinking of this woman who used to be herself, now she has become such a dazzling being, and she actually declares that she is a dead widow, and he is not dead? What is this for? It's not good to stay outside, and I specially ran to the capital to stay with great fanfare, is this to slap him in the face?
