Chapter 236: Ways to Collect Money

Zhang Ji Cloth Village, the name sounds unremarkable, but the interior is beautifully decorated, with the most complete variety of fabrics and satins in the capital, the most gorgeous and delicate embroidery, and the latest styles of ready-to-wear, which can be found here.

This is not only one of the five best cloth villages in the capital, but also the owner of Zhang Ji Cloth Village is also the third son of the nephew of Hou Changying, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. It's good to enjoy the shade with the back of the big tree, and no ruffian usually dares to collect protection money, and business has been smooth.

The business of Zhang Ji Buzhuang has been prosperous, many dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and housekeepers are accustomed to come here to buy, and many female dependents also like to come to see in their spare time and pick some of their favorite fabrics to go back.

Just after noon, a middle-aged man walked in with four subordinates, looked at it twice, pointed to the best water cloud satin, thousand silk brocade, etc. on the shelf, and said proudly: "Wrap these up for me, I want them all." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper saw that the big customer was coming, he hurriedly came to greet him in person.

Although the business of the cloth village has always been good, it is rare for a big customer like today, who buys a bunch of them directly without asking. I was afraid that I would make a lot of money in a few days, so he was busy and greeted warmly: "The guest looks a little dumbfounded, is it the first time to come to our Zhangji Cloth Village to buy something?" ”

The middle-aged man stroked the two mustaches on his mouth, squinted his eyes proudly, and said, "What, when I come to buy something from you, do I still have to report my name?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The shopkeeper secretly said that this guest is not very good-tempered.

But the guests first, he didn't mind at all, but said with a smile on his face: "The contemptible person is the shopkeeper of this cloth village, I just want to tell the guests, we just arrived here yesterday A batch of new goods, do you want to take a look?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes rolled, and he said arrogantly: "Since there are new goods, why don't you hurry up and take them out?" ”

Soon, a few guys came out with a large pile of colorful satin, the fine pattern, the fine texture, as smooth as a baby's skin. Such a good satin, even the middle-aged man nodded again and again.

"Good! Yes, all of them! ”

The middle-aged man pointed to the more than fifty newly arrived Shui Yunjin on the counter and asked the shopkeeper to wrap them all for him.

The shopkeeper's mouth couldn't close with a smile, and while asking the man to hurry up, he knocked on the abacus, and quickly said: "Thank you, this guest, you have bought a total of eighty-two horses, a total of fifty-four thousand three hundred taels of silver." If you count it as a whole number, you will receive 54,000 taels. ”

The middle-aged man didn't care: "Well, not much, I'll take the goods away, if it's silver, ......"

"The guest wants to bring a silver ticket, you can pay it now, if you don't bring enough, you can send a guy to collect it." There are many such cases, and the shopkeeper has become accustomed to it. After all, many female dependents of large families come out to buy things, and they buy thousands of taels, but they don't necessarily bring so much money with them.

As long as you make it clear which one it is, it is normal to collect it at the door.

Who knows, the middle-aged man asked the four subordinates to carry the cloth to the carriage outside, and said slowly: "More than 50,000 taels of silver, who will carry it on his body?" I'll pick it up later

Okay, Jingheyuan, do you know how to get there? ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he gasped, it turned out to be someone from Jingheyuan?

"My young lady is going to get married to the Ninth Prince next month, and these things are all purchased for marriage."

"Yes, yes! I didn't expect it to be the housekeeper of Jingheyuan, disrespectful and disrespectful. The shopkeeper became more and more respectful, but he didn't expect that today's big customer is the housekeeper of Jingheyuan, you know, the owner of Jingheyuan is the future Nine Princesses!

And the goods of their cloth village are used on the wedding of the nine princes, and they are spread out, which is the best means of publicity, even the nine princes and the nine princesses are the customers of their Zhang Ji cloth village, and they have a lot of face!

Soon, dozens of silk horses were finally moved, and the shopkeeper politely sent the middle-aged man out: "The guests go slowly, and greet the Nine Princes and Miss Xia on behalf of the contemptible people." ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently, took two steps, and suddenly turned around and said, "Forget it, I'll let someone send the silver ticket later, so you don't have to send someone." ”

The shopkeeper didn't suspect it at all, and thanked him a thousand times: "Yes, I'm sorry for you." ”

After a while, the carriage and the middle-aged man disappeared in front of them, disappearing into the crowd.

The shopkeeper finally returned to Buzhuang, and he was very emotional.

"Shopkeeper, why do you think there is something wrong with the little one?" At this time, a guy scratched his head and said suspiciously.

"What's the problem?"

The shopkeeper stared at him and smiled: "Do you want to say that they will pay their debts?" Impossible, where is Jingheyuan? That's the daughter of Lord Zuo Xiang, where Miss Xia lives, and this garden is still given by the emperor himself. Don't talk about Miss Xia, will the Ninth Prince still rely on these tens of thousands of taels of silver? ”

The guy said: "No, shopkeeper, it's just that the little one has seen the housekeeper of Jingheyuan once before, it seems that his name is Uncle He, and he doesn't look like the person just now......"

The shopkeeper was surprised: "What? You say he's not the housekeeper of Jingheyuan? ”

was suddenly pulled by the placket of his clothes, and the guy was about to be out of breath, and hurriedly said, "Yes, it's not...... Shopkeeper, let go of the little one first......"

After he finally stood firm, he said, "He is indeed not the housekeeper of Jingheyuan, but ...... But the little one remembers that he seems to be the housekeeper of Xia Xiang's mansion, so he ...... just now The little one didn't say anything. ”

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved: "You kid, you talk halfway, scare me, right?" What is the difference between the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the housekeeper of Jingheyuan to buy? It's all a family anyway. ”

"But why does he say that he is the housekeeper of Jingheyuan?" The man was puzzled again.

"Hey, that's ...... too"

The shopkeeper thought about it, felt that something was wrong, and couldn't figure it out, as if the person just now didn't say that he was the housekeeper of Jingheyuan, what he thought, right? Whatever, just wait for the meeting to deliver the silver ticket.

Time passed little by little, until the sun went down and the shop was about to close, and finally a person came.

"Jingheyuan's account is here." With that, the man put down an envelope and turned to leave.

The shopkeeper waited anxiously, and finally waited for someone to come, and hurriedly opened the envelope to check, but there was only one inside

Notes.

"I received a wedding gift from the Nine Princes and the Nine Princesses from Lord Hou of the Ministry of Rites, 54,000 taels of silver, which will be deducted from the purchase of today's goods."

"This ...... How so? The shopkeeper looked at the note in his hand and was about to cry to death.

I thought it was a big deal, but I didn't expect it to happen.

The good goods are gone in the blink of an eye, and only this worthless note has been received, if the owner knows, what will he pay!

But even if it was the backstage of the owner's house, that Hou Shilang didn't dare to go to the Nine Princes to ask for silver!

The shopkeeper wants to cry without tears......

But what he didn't know was that this middle-aged man not only came to his house, but also went to Xiangyue Tea Shop, Baifeng Jewelry Shop, Gold and Silver Building and other shops, and also concocted a large number of goods in the same way.

Finally completed today's task, Wu Qiang rushed to tell Xia Yanxiu: "Master, everything has been bought!" ”

Xia Yanxiu had been waiting, after all, it was the first time he had done such a thing, he was a little uneasy, and immediately said when he heard this: "How?" ”

Wu Qiang smiled: "No problem, master!" If we go shopping, who wouldn't sell it? The little one went to five shops and bought a total of 300,000 taels of silver and put them in the warehouse. ”

When Zhao heard this, he slapped his thigh happily: "300,000!?" Great, everything is good, right? ”

"Big lady, it's definitely a good thing, a small errand, don't worry!"

Wu Qiang said today's incident: "The little one finally said that they should go to Jingheyuan to collect the cash, and later gave the receipt of Liangqing." Although there is no silver, but it is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, who really dares to go to the Nine Princes to ask for money? ”

He said it very proudly, and he also arranged for someone to keep an eye on it, those shops did not send people to Jingheyuan or Jin Wangfu to collect money, I think they recognized the account.

Xia Yanxiu was finally relieved, and a greedy smile appeared on his face: "Okay, it's good." Tomorrow continues, be sure to run all the shops they open for all the people who want to come to the marriage in the capital. ”

"That dead girl cheated us on our money, won't we find a way to get it back?"

Zhao sneered, and when he remembered that there was so much white silver, he became happy again, and hurriedly asked Wu Qiang to take her to the warehouse to see the goods she bought today.

Xia Yanxiu did not feel ashamed at all, let alone the shame of collecting money in the name of Xia Jinse.

He just felt that he deserved it! When someone else marries a daughter, he has to collect a bunch of dowry gifts, and he has already lost millions of dollars, and now he has only recovered some of the gift money, which is not an exaggeration!

……

The hands and feet of the Prime Minister's side, Xia Jinse didn't know.

After a few days, no one from the shopkeepers who were cheated by the Prime Minister's Mansion made trouble, and some people thought that they had suffered losses, so they just forgot it. Although some people feel that Jingheyuan's method is a little inappropriate, it is not unacceptable. After all, when they went to attend the wedding of the Nine Princes, they must have to give gifts, and they couldn't give them away.

Since the people of the Nine Princesses took it first, then they don't have to send it anymore, just go to the door to congratulate them.

There are also some low-ranking officials, and they are not qualified to see nine at all

The prince's, after being cheated, was elated. It's rare for the Nine Princesses to take a fancy to their things, that's their honor!

can use this to make friends with the Jin Wangfu and Jingheyuan, they can't ask for it.

In the past few days, Xia Jinse has been idle, just waiting for the results from Ji Xiao's side. As for the two etiquette grandmothers, she is too lazy to learn anymore, and she is annoyed.

Anyway, someone will bring it when the time comes, what is she worried about? You can't walk and wrestle, right?

The other Xia Jinse didn't care, and sent someone to send the two grandmothers back. Lan Beichen didn't move there, thinking that she was going to go, probably just knowing it.

In the Fengwu Pavilion, Xia Jinse looked at Xia Junping happily.

He propped his hands on the wheelchair, his hands were shaking with excitement, and the two girls supported him, and finally stood up slowly.

The feeling on his leg made Xia Junping feel a little unfamiliar, as if the leg was no longer his, but this did not prevent him from blushing with excitement at all, and even had the urge to shout.

"I ...... I...... Finally, stand up! After seven years, Xia Junping finally stood up.

The fifth prince Lan Muxuan and Xia Jinse both looked at him, and they were also excited, only to see him walking slowly, gradually letting go of the girl's hand, moving from a little to a step, Xia Junping relied on his own strength and finally walked to the door.

The newborn sun shone on him, red, and he looked up as if it were his future.

"Brother, congratulations!"

"Junping, great, that's great!"

While everyone was rejoicing at this moment, the butler walked in with a few people.

Ji Xiao, who was at the front, looked at it and was surprised and delighted: "Ah, Cousin Xia, can you stand up?" ”

After a simple greeting, Xia Junping's joy needless to say, Xia Jinse saw that Ji Xiao and Shattered Star were here, and knew that the matter of that case must have had a result, so he hurriedly asked him: "What's the matter, has that person been caught?" ”
