Chapter 81 Ho's Money
Inside and outside Bian Yang City, and even at checkpoints in various parts of Hong Yanguo, a new round of searches has been launched.
Xiaoguo, dressed as a man, leaned on the wall of the carriage, swaying from side to side with the carriage, she squinted at the big bag of oiled paper beside her, as if she was asleep.
She used the palace map she had obtained that night to draw a route out of the palace, although this route, although she had never practiced it before, she still took the risk and did so.
Fortunately, along this route, she made it out of the palace unusually smoothly.
It was dawn.
Roadside breakfast shops have been lit up and opened, busy with early morning business.
Xiaoguo used two golden beans brought out of the palace, one of them, and exchanged a few newly made men's clothes with the owner of a food seller.
She followed the direction her boss had pointed out to her, dressed in her new clothes, and came to the city gate.
People who have been waiting here and are planning to get out of town early in the morning.
A caravan of a dozen people caught her eye.
The uncle at the beginning was a very kind person, and Xiaoguo managed to talk to him.
I learned that they were in the tea business, and they planned to go to Qingyun Country to transport tea.
Except for the three merchant brothers, the rest are hired bodyguards, and the uncle is responsible for their daily affairs.
Qingyun Country is the territory of Princess Finch, and with Xiaoguo's friendship with her, it seems to be a good choice to defect to her.
There are also patches of peppers there, waiting for the small fruit to taste!
Therefore, Xiaoguo, who didn't know where to go, immediately made up her mind to go to Qingyun Country!
She hypothesized that there was an urgent matter at home and she needed to go to Qingyun Country to seek refuge with relatives, and with the help of her uncle, she paid the last golden bean as an entry fee and joined the caravan.
The caravan consisted of three carriages, two of which were stocked with goods, one of which was ridden by the three merchant brothers, and the rest were accompanied by horseback.
Xiaoguo could not ride a horse and was placed in a carriage that pulled goods.
Suddenly, the procession stopped, and an old man with gray sideburns knocked on the carriage door.
It's the one who takes care of the chores!
Xiaoguo hurriedly got up and asked, "Uncle Jiang, what happened?" ”
This person's name is Jiang Shang, and he is over half a hundred years old.
Xiaoguo was able to join this caravan smoothly, thanks to his maneuvering.
Jiang Shang smiled innocently: "There is still some distance from the next town, and when it's time for lunch, the big boss will stop here, eat some dry food and set off!" ”
He said and handed the dry cake in his hand to Xiaoguo: "I'll eat some and make up for it!" ”
Xiaoguo hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Jiang!" When we get to town, I'll invite you back! ”
Jiang Shang shook his hand disapprovingly, he cautiously looked around, and said in a low voice: "Miss Ma, you can afford to look up to Jiang, call me uncle, and uncle will persuade you." Put away all the gold and silver jewelry you wear as soon as possible, and don't let people with ulterior motives see it! People's hearts are unpredictable, and when you go out, it's better to be careful! ”
Xiao Guo followed his gaze, touched the gold studs on his ears, and said with a dumb smile: "I can't help you see that I am a woman, but I forgot to take this off!" ”
Jiang Shangzheng said: "Miss Ma, Uncle Jiang is not joking with you!" ”
He looked vigilantly at the leader of the vendors who were munching on dry food under the shade of a tree not far away: "The towns here are dense, and there are many pedestrians on the road, and it is quite peaceful. ”
Xiaoguo is not really, the door is not out, and everyone who does not step out of the second door is beautiful, so she naturally knows the truth that people's hearts are sinister and wealth is not exposed.
She put away her smile and said sincerely: "You have already seen that I am a woman, and I am carrying gold and silver, and I am sure that other people have also known about this!" Right now, I'm in a hurry to leave Hong Yanguo, and I can't stay in the next town. Besides, if you want to meet a caravan that happens to go to Qingyun Country again, I'm afraid it's also a difficult thing! Uncle Jiang, in your opinion, what should be done properly? ”
Jiang Shang thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "There is!" In this case, when you arrive in the town, you go to Ho's Money House and pawn or store it. ”
Xiao Guo was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's a good way to keep your money in the bank!" ”
She suddenly said worriedly: "It's just that if the villain forcibly takes away the receipt for saving money, won't it still be in vain?" ”
Jiang Shang said with a smile: "The girl doesn't have to worry about this, He's money is all over the world, and the rules are complete and proper." In order to protect the interests of the depositor and prevent the receipt from being robbed or hijacked, the money bank clearly stipulates that the depositor himself must go to the bank to exchange silver taels! ”
This is similar to the last world's banks and systems!
Xiao Guo praised: "That's the case, the owner of He's Money Village is a talent!" I wonder how they found out, is it the owner himself? ”
Jiang Shang hesitated: "This, the little old man has never entered the money bank, but he doesn't know!" It's just that I heard that He's money village has never been built for more than 100 years now, and there has never been any mistaken loss, even some royal relatives have handed over their family property to the He family to take care of! ”
Xiaoguo secretly smacked his tongue: "So powerful!" If you can create this system, you must be a genius! I don't know which country the people of which family are, and won't the monarch be jealous of their money? ”
Jiang Shang said with a smile: "Miss Ma is concerned, the ancestors of the He family also thought of it, as early as a hundred years ago, the He family bought an independent piece of land, therefore, the He family does not belong to any country!" The Ho family's shop property is all over the world, the family rules are strict, the talents are numerous, the children and grandchildren are all business geniuses, they have a complicated relationship with the royal families of various countries, and they are mutually restricted, and they are a mystery to the world! ”
It seems that even if the ancestor of the He family is a time-traveling person, he is also a shrewd and meticulous master!
Xiaoguo wanted to inquire more about the He family, but saw that everyone had returned to their respective carriages, someone called Jiang Shang over, and the convoy began to set off slowly!
In the evening, the convoy arrived in the town.
The town is called Luocao Town, and most of the residents of the town make a living by growing herbs.
The inner courtyard of the inn they rented was full of baskets with all kinds of herbs drying in them.
Xiaoguo got out of the car once in the middle of the way, and sure enough, she saw some people in the convoy staring at her with malicious eyes.
Therefore, Xiaoguo got out of the carriage, and after choosing a room, he asked someone to ask the direction of He's money village, and quietly slipped out.
Qianzhuang is not far from the inn, Xiaoguo walked for a while, and then he saw the four big red characters of "He's Qianzhuang", carved on the wooden plaque with dragons flying and phoenixes.
Under the plaque are two wide mahogany doors, outside which stand two jade-eyed stone lions, and next to each stone lion stand three burly strong men.
They were all dressed in gray shirts, with red belts around their waists, and steel forks in their hands!
Seeing Xiaoguo approaching, the two big men who approached the door respectfully opened the door and said in unison: "Welcome to He's Qianzhuang!" ”
Xiao Guo smiled and nodded at them and walked through the door.
Entering the gate is a square courtyard, surrounded by a circle, large and small rooms.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate, someone greeted her, a beautiful little girl, who looked very well-behaved and clever.
"This son, I don't know what kind of business you want to handle?"
Sure enough, the ancestor of the He family is also a traverser!
Xiaoguo's sense of intimacy doubled in her heart, she smiled slightly, and said, "I brought some things, I want to ask your boss to help me estimate them, and then deposit them in the bank!" ”
"So, Childe, please!"
Xiao Guo followed her to one of the wings.
The decoration in the room, and even the color of the tables and chairs, have been elegant and simple, and there is a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, saying that "goodness is like water".
"Childe will sit down for a while, and the appraiser will come shortly." As she spoke, the little girl poured tea and water quickly, and did not know where to bring a plate of pastries.
The service attitude is very professional and thoughtful, Xiaoguo nodded secretly.
Xiaoguo didn't take a few sips of a cup of tea, and a middle-aged man in a white shirt walked in through the side door.
"I'm sorry to keep Childe waiting!" He smiled mildly and apologetically.
This attitude and expression make people feel that it is not their own fault to pursue him again.
Xiaoguo put down the teacup, got up and said, "It's okay!" ”
The two greeted each other politely and took their seats on either side of the table.
The middle-aged man said: "Ju Wei, the appraiser of Xiahe's Qianzhuang, I don't know the son, what do you want to identify?" ”
Xiaoguo took off the burden on her back and put out the things inside, including a copper mirror inlaid with diamonds, a jade cup, a gold hairpin with pearls, etc., all of which she stuffed into the bedroom casually.
Ju Wei picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully, a look of shock appeared on his face, he picked up the jade cup and the golden hairpin again, and couldn't help but gasp: "Later, Son, I will ask the shopkeeper to come over in person!" ”
Xiaoguo looked at his back depressedly: "This appraiser, he is a lot older, is it possible that he has not yet become a disciple?" ”
When the old shopkeeper carefully studied the things brought by Xiaoguo, an incredible look appeared on the calm old face: "I take the liberty of asking, can these treasures belong to the son?" ”
Xiaoguo thought about it, these are indeed her things, although if they are further investigated, they should belong to Bai Ling.
Sister Bai, I'm sorry, I'll rub you some light at the end!
She thought to herself, cheekily nodding: "These are my things!" ”
The old shopkeeper leaned forward: "I heard, is the son trying to be dead?" ”
Xiaoguo said: "That's right, you give a price!" ”
The old shopkeeper took the abacus with a serious face, "crackled" and calculated several times, and pushed the abacus in front of Xiaoguo: "Childe, the conservative estimate should be 3 million taels!" ”
Xiaoguo squirted out a mouthful of tea, her eyes widened, and she said, "How much?" ”
The old shopkeeper thought that she didn't have much money, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, son, the 3 million taels I just said is the lowest conservative price." These treasures of yours need to wait for the owner to see them in person, and then decide how much price to give you, and then the additional money will be directly deposited in your name! ”
It turns out that if she takes a few things from the palace, she will be able to have no worries about food and clothing in her life!
Xiaoguo was still shocked and did not come back to his senses.
How did she know that in the treasury of Hongyan Palace, any item was a rare treasure collected by the monarchs of the past dynasties, and every piece was difficult to buy.
Seeing that Xiaoguo had no objections, the old shopkeeper invited her to a side room, asked her to set up a few questions to be answered correctly when withdrawing money in the future, and then took her to another side room and found someone to draw a few portraits of her for checking when withdrawing money in the future.
By the time the set of procedures was completed, Xiaoguo walked out of the gate of the money bank, and it was already completely dark.
