Chapter 590: The Hidden Lady in the Crowd
"The princess really didn't choose me directly?" In the headquarters of the Great Song Bank, Cao Song asked Zhao Yan in front of him with a disappointed expression. After Zhao Yan came out of the palace, he immediately went to Cao Song's place, and then told the other party about the Duke Shoukang's choice of a concubine, but Cao Song was also very disappointed when he heard that Princess Shoukang did not choose him directly.
Seeing Cao Song's disappointed look, Zhao Yan couldn't help but glance at him and said, "Look at your unproductive appearance, on the way back, I also asked the third sister why she didn't choose you directly, guess how she answered?" ”
"How did you answer that?" Cao Song immediately asked eagerly at this time, he wanted to know what Princess Shoukang thought of him.
"Ahem~, I haven't even drunk water after walking for so long." Zhao Yan suddenly sold Guan Zidao at this time.
As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, Cao Song immediately ran out and poured him a cup of tea and put it in front of him, his face was full of flattering expressions, only to see Zhao Yan slowly take a sip of tea at this time, and then he said with satisfaction: "The third sister's original words are like this, 'If Cao Song's kid wants to marry me, then let him sign up by himself, and then defeat other candidates to become a concubine, otherwise it is difficult for me to take the initiative to let him be my husband?'" ’”
"Huh? Princess...... Did the princess really say that? Cao Song immediately said in a loud voice full of surprise when she heard this, although Princess Shoukang did not clearly express her feelings for him in her words, but with Princess Shoukang's temperament, being able to say these words is enough to show that she has a good impression of herself.
"Of course, can I still lie to you?" Zhao Yan glanced at Cao Song again and said, with his understanding of Princess Shoukang, he could already see that she had some feelings for Cao Song. It's just that I don't dare to admit it out of some kind of woman's self-esteem or shyness.
"Great! That's great! I saw Cao Song excitedly stood up and walked around the room a few times, and finally suddenly turned around and said, "No, I have to go back now and let the family report my name, so as not to be preempted by others!" ”
"What's the preemptive here, among the young men of the nobility anyway. You are also outstanding, as for the few who are better than you, they are either married, or they disdain to become a colt and drag down their future, so you don't have to worry, as long as you are willing to sign up, this colt candidate should be you! Zhao Yan said helplessly again, Cao Song was also concerned about chaos, and he didn't want to think about his current conditions. There aren't many young men in the entire city of Tokyo who can compare to him.
"Yes, I am the president of the Bank of Tokyo, and I can mobilize hundreds of thousands of yuan in one sentence, and many people are begging me to give them loans, so what am I afraid of?" The more Cao Song spoke, the louder he became, and finally suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, I can still let out my words." If anyone dares to rob me of the princess, don't even think about lending a penny from the bank in the future! ”
"Whew! Can you still make a difference? If that's what you say. Then it's better to let your Cao family also help you release the news, if anyone dares to compete with you for the position of the horse, then don't think about buying honeycomb coal in the future, and wait for the winter to freeze to death in the future! Zhao Yan said sarcastically with some hatred.
It's a pity that Zhao Yan still underestimated Cao Song's determination to marry Princess Shoukang, but he didn't hear Zhao Yan's sarcasm at all, but his eyes lit up and said, "Good way." I'm going back to talk to my dad!" ”
After Cao Song finished speaking, he turned around and ran out of the bank, and he didn't even care about the bank's work, which made Zhao Yan a little speechless, saying that women in love have no brains, and now it seems that men are the same. With Cao Song's current IQ, it is estimated that his father's violent beating will be indispensable when he returns home.
At that moment, Zhao Yan went out of Cao Song's office room, and then found several stewards of the bank, telling them that Cao Song might not be able to come to the bank these days, so the affairs of the bank will be temporarily taken care of by them, which makes several stewards are also very excited, speaking of which, with the expansion of the bank's influence, many people have even secretly called the bank the second treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, and the status of the bank's stewards is also rising, not only rich but also face, especially the branch presidents in various places, who are in charge of the finances of a place, Even the local officials have to be polite to the branch president, so the biggest desire of these stewards is to prove themselves, so that they can be promoted to the branch as soon as possible.
When Zhao Yan came out of the bank, it was already dusk, and it was also the busiest time for banking business, because many people were free to come to the bank at this time, or to deposit or withdraw money, and the bank generally staggered the meals for the convenience of guests, especially the guys at the front desk, some people have not eaten three meals on time several times a year since they entered the bank.
A small square was built in front of the bank, it is said that this is a pass with feng shui, generally there will be such a square in front of the larger buildings, thanks to the huge flow of people gathered by the bank, the square in front of the bank is very lively, many street vendors are attracted here, keep selling their goods to pedestrians.
Zhao Yan looked at the sky and it was not early, the family was probably waiting for him to go back for dinner, speaking of which, when there were no children before, he might still eat out because of some things, but since several children were born one after another, and most of them have been sensible, Zhao Yan also accompanies the children to eat almost every day, don't underestimate the matter of eating, the dinner table is actually a good place to cultivate feelings with children, as for the ancient adage of not saying anything about food, it has long been abandoned by Zhao Yan.
At that moment, Zhao Yan walked down the steps of the bank, and then boarded his carriage, with the shouting of the coachman, the carriage also started slowly, Zhao Yan habitually opened the window, and then looked at the lively crowd outside the window, and experienced the joys, sorrows and sorrows of those ordinary people outside, which can be regarded as a kind of psychological practice.
However, when Zhao Yan looked at the crowd outside the window, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, which made him stunned at first, and then his face suddenly changed, because this familiar figure could not appear here, which made him also shocked, and immediately ordered the coachman to stop the carriage, and then jumped out of the car and ran over to look for it, but unfortunately the figure was a little far away from him just now, and there were bustling crowds around him, so when he squeezed over, the figure had already disappeared in the vast sea of people.
"King Jun, what are you looking for?" At this time, Niu Lie, the head of the guards beside Zhao Yan, asked cautiously at this time, it is often the most unsafe in this kind of crowd, so after Zhao Yan got out of the car, he and a group of guards surrounded Zhao Yan tightly to avoid accidents.
If the head of the guard beside Zhao Yan was still the former Lin Hu, Zhao Yan would definitely ask him if he saw the figure just now, but unfortunately Niu Lie was transferred to Zhao Yan's side later, and he didn't know that person at all, so Zhao Yan had to sigh and said immediately: "It's okay, I saw an acquaintance just now, but I didn't expect the other party to leave." ”
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he turned his head unwillingly and looked around, but he still couldn't find anything, and finally had to return to the carriage in disappointment. It's just that Zhao Yan didn't know that just after he got into the carriage and left, a young couple walked out of a cloth stall full of cloth, and the young woman looked at the direction that Zhao Yan's carriage left, but sighed softly, and her eyes were full of complicated looks.
"Lady, is that person just now your former acquaintance?" At this time, the young man next to the young woman asked softly, and saw that although this man looked ordinary, he was polite and looked very elegant.
"Hmm!" The young woman nodded slightly, a sad look on her face, but said nothing. The young man did not blame his wife for this, but grabbed her hand with great concern and held it tightly, which made the young woman raise her face to look at her husband, and her face also showed a happy look.
After a long time, the young woman suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Husband, let's go to the bank quickly, my father's business has some problems, and we need to go to the bank for a loan, we have to inquire about the conditions of the loan, and I hope we can lend a sum of money for emergency relief." ”
Hearing his wife's reminder, the young man remembered that he had come to the bank today, and hurriedly pulled his wife to the bank, but unfortunately Zhao Yan didn't know this, but missed the opportunity to reunite with this woman.
It was also the incident of meeting the woman on the road that made Zhao Yan preoccupied all the way, and even a little absent-minded during the meal, and looked at Yan Yuru from time to time, the smart Cao Ying and others also saw that Zhao Yan had something to say to Yan Yuru, so after dinner, they all found excuses to leave with the child, as for Yan Yuru and Zhao Yan's son Zhao Yi, he was also taken away by the nurse.
"Husband, do you have anything to say?" After everyone else left, Yan Yuru, who also found that something was wrong with Zhao Yan, also immediately asked.
"Well, today I went to the bank, and then on the carriage back I saw a familiar figure in the crowd in the distance, although it was only a quick glance, but I believe that my eyes must not be wrong!" Zhao Yan said with a serious face.
"Oh? What is it that makes the husband care so much? Yan Yuru was also a little interested when she heard this, since Zhao Yan left her behind, it means that this person must have something to do with her, but she really can't think of anyone who would make Zhao Yan pay so much attention to among the people she and Zhao Yan know together?
"Hidden Niang! I saw the hidden mother! What Yan Yuru never expected was that Zhao Yan said a name that shocked her. (To be continued......)
