Chapter 165: Do You Like Me?
Back to Jiutong Wealth, Mei Zhiyuan went back to the room where he had just settled the accounts, took a pen dipped in ink, and wrote down the matter simply.
He blew the ink off the paper, folded it twice, turned around, and called a young man to send it home to his eldest sister.
He told him to wait until he replied, and said, "Go and come back quickly!" ”
"Who was that young lady looking for you just now?" Shankui asked.
Mei Zhiyuan stood at the gate of Jiutong Fortune, looked at the young man who ran away, and did not look back, and said, "My cousin." ”
"What is she looking for you?"
"Borrow money."
"How much to borrow?"
"Eight thousand taels."
"What! ......" Shan Kui looked at Mei Zhiyuan with a shocked face and said, "You lent it to her?" ”
Mei Zhiyuan turned around and glanced at this guy and said, "How can I lend her so much silver." ”
"Then what did you let Xiao Wu do?"
"Go home and borrow ...... from your big sister"
Shan Kui didn't expect which the "big sister" was, and after thinking for a while, he realized that Mei Zhiyuan was talking about the eldest lady, and he walked a few steps away from Mei Zhiyuan.
This "guy" will never be the same person as them.
Ruohong said: "It has already cost eighty-one thousand eight hundred taels of silver." ”
Ruoxue nodded to indicate that she understood, and did not question her words.
Ruohong summed up the cost of buying silk from all over the world in the past few days, and it is possible that so much silver silk can be sold for hundreds of thousands of taels if it is woven into silk brocade, or even a million taels.
If you buy it like this for a few more days, it is estimated that you won't be able to hold 100,000 taels of silver!
"What should my sister do if she wants to take these silks? Is it to find someone to weave it? Ruohong stood up and walked over to Ruoxue and watched her sit there petting the cat.
The white cat was six or seven months old, lying on Ruoxue's legs in a large fluffy mass.
It flicked its broom-like tail and squinted pleasantly to sleep.
Ruoxue withdrew her gaze from the cat, looked up at her sister who was approaching, and said with a smile: "Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself!" Besides, even if you open ten more silk weaving workshops, you won't need so much silk. I can't sell it for a high price if I knit it, so why bother! ”
Ruohong also knew that what she said was reasonable, so many silks were left in the warehouse, could it be true that they would lay eggs?!
"Good sister, tell me, what are you going to do with those silks?!" Ruohong pulled her sleeve and shook it, coquettish and cute, trying her best to please her.
Ruoxue was cute by her like this, touched her face dotingly, and was about to open her mouth to speak, but heard Lian Xin say outside the door: "Miss, the eldest young master sent someone to send a letter to you." ”
Lian Xin lifted the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei and came in, and handed the letter to Ruoxue with both hands.
Ruoxue took it and unfolded it to look at it, frowned inadvertently, stood up with the white cat in her arms, and paced back and forth in the room twice.
Ruohong stretched out her hand and took out the paper and looked at it carefully, "I want to borrow so much!" Don't you want to buy silk too? She said.
Ruoxue was amused by her words, "Haha, you think people buy silk with silver like me!" You can't eat it when you buy it back! She said.
Ruoxue turned her head and instructed Lian Xin: "Go to the account room and pay 8,000 taels of silver to the eldest brother, and tell him that you don't have to pay it back." ”
"Why?" Ruohong pursed her lips dissatisfiedly and said, "Eight thousand taels!" It's not ten, two, eight, two, eight, two, eight, two Although we have silver in our house, it is not blowing in the wind! ”
Ruoxue smiled and stuffed the cat into Ruohong's arms, took the letter in her hand away, and said: "The eldest brother feels guilty about Yang Wanqing because of his family affairs, so the silver will buy him peace of mind!" ”
Ruohong held the cat in her arms and scratched its chin, and the white cat purred pleasantly, "Where did you see that?" Why didn't I see it! She said.
"Yang Wanqing wants to borrow eight thousand taels of silver, the eldest brother could have refused, right? But why didn't he do that! That's telling, isn't it? Wakayuki brought the letter close to the candlestick, incinerated it, and threw it on the ground.
Well, Ruohong can only say that her head doesn't have her aura, and she can't see through the meaning beyond the literal.
Ay! Why didn't she give birth to a smart head!
Lian Xin didn't go out immediately when she heard them, and when she saw Ruoxue waving her hand, she turned around and came out.
Lian Xin first went to the account office and paid 8,000 taels of silver, then went out to meet the young man, and asked him to send 8,000 taels of silver tickets to Mei Zhiyuan.
The young man took the silver ticket and jumped a few times in his heart, so much silver! He felt unsafe when he put the silver ticket in his arms, so he took it out and folded it a few times, and asked Lianxin to help him insert it in his hair, so that it would not be taken away by petty theft.
Lian Xin did as he said, inserted the folded silver ticket into his hair, covered it with hair, and then he opened his legs and ran towards Jiutong Fortune.
Mei Zhiyuan waited for two or three teas, but he didn't see Xiao Wu come back, so he was a little anxious, and when he saw him running back, he also ran to meet him.
"Why did you go for so long? What did the eldest lady say? ”
Xiao Wu ran away from sweat, stood on his feet and raised his fingers, gasped twice and said, "The silver ticket is here." ”
Mei Zhiyuan pulled out the silver ticket from his head, and saw that it was a silver ticket of eight thousand taels, and his heart suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Xiao Wu took a breath and said, "The eldest lady said that there is no need to pay it back." ”
Mei Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ruoxue meant, in order to take care of his emotions, Ruoxue actually gave away eight thousand taels of silver directly, which made him feel that the silver ticket in his hand was heavy.
Mei Zhiyuan asked Xiao Wu to return to Jiutong's wealth, and he walked to the restaurant with some heavy steps.
"Miss, the young master is back."
Xiaohong was lying on the window looking at the pedestrians on the street, and saw Mei Zhiyuan coming from a distance, so she quickly turned around and came back, and stood beside Yang Wanqing.
She was still saying just now that Mei Zhiyuan was gone forever, and she left their young lady here.
Yang Wanqing was also wondering if Mei Zhiyuan didn't want to lend her money and found an excuse to hide, but fortunately she didn't leave early, otherwise she would have missed it.
Xiaohong turned her head to look at the starry sky outside the window again, and said, "It's all dark, and I don't know where the young master went to find the silver!" ”
Not long after, Mei Zhiyuan came up from downstairs, handed the silver ticket to Yang Wanqing, let her properly store it, and said, "It's not early, I'll send you back, right?" ”
Yang Wanqing felt that she was disliked, and her heart became even colder, "Thank you eldest cousin for your help, I will return you when my hand is loose in the future." ”
She thanked Mei Zhiyuan for her blessings, and said, "We have a carriage, so don't bother my cousin." ”
Mei Zhiyuan said: "Then I'll send you down." ”
Yang Wanqing turned around and walked outside, and Xiaohong followed behind and also got out of the restaurant.
Standing beside the carriage, Yang Wanqing hesitated, bit her lip, and asked, "Big cousin, do you like me?" ”
