Chapter 57: Suspicion
Zhu Youning and Li Tuobei stood by the carriage and watched the excitement.
Li Tuobei stretched his neck and couldn't hear what was said in the money village, so he ordered: "Buckle the meat, you go and listen to what is said inside." Why are so many people asking about the back and forth of the master. ”
"Yes." Buckle the meat to receive the order, like an iron plow, separate the crowd and squeeze in.
Bailing and Thrush glanced at each other, both bowing their heads and saying nothing.
After a while, the buckle meat was squeezed out again.
"Back to the master, the shopkeeper there said that in the future, ordinary people can also come to save money, even a penny can be saved, to ensure no loss, than to wait at home for rust, isn't it much better?
"And if more than two coins of silver are stored regularly for more than half a year, there will be interest to be obtained, and the longer the fixed deposit, the higher the interest.
"Oh, by the way, you can also borrow money here, use the house or valuable objects as security, and repay the money at the agreed time, and their interest is much less than the money in the print.
"It's too messy, and there are a lot of small rules that I haven't heard clearly, but I see that there are already people who have deposited money in it."
Li Tuobei nodded, lowered his head and asked Zhu Youning: "How is it, this money village is fresh, right?" ”
"It's pretty fresh."
"I guess the owner of this bank must be an extremely clever man, otherwise how could he have come up with such an interesting idea?"
"yes, yes, it's smart." Zhu Youning nodded seriously.
The thrush and lark head at the back are pressed lower.
Li Tuobei touched his chin and muttered: "I just don't know what the character of the boss of this money bank is, if I can be sure that they won't abscond with the money, I want to save money." ”
"If you are afraid of something, you can just observe and observe, and a business like this will definitely be opened and not ready to be closed, and you will see people's hearts over time."
"Yes." Li Tuobei nodded with a smile, and then said, "Hey, I know that there is a restaurant over there that has excellent mutton, shall I take you to eat it?" ”
Zhu Youning smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, Brother Bei, but I still have something to do today, I can't go with you, I'll treat you to eat when I'm done?" ”
Li Tuobei frowned a little disappointed, he still likes this beautiful and interesting little sister.
Zhu Youning looked up at him and said, "It's almost the New Year, I have few people in my family, and there are many things, I'm really sorry." ”
Thinking about the situation of her family, Li Tuobei was relieved again, not to mention that he is a gentleman, where will he care about the little girl?
"That's it, then I'll send you back."
"No, I still have some business. With a girl by her side, it's fine. Tuobei looked at the larks and thrushes behind Zhu Youning, and his scrutinizing gaze scraped over them like knives.
"You are so good at serving your young lady, if you dare to be lazy or disloyal, you can try."
Bailing and Thrush were so frightened that their faces turned white, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, the slave must be good at serving Miss." ”
Li Tuobei snorted, and rubbed Zhu Youning's hair with calloused hands, "I'm leaving, I'm looking for something to do!" You can play with me if you have nothing to do. ”
"Okay, Brother Bei walks slowly."
Li Tuobei was very happy to be coaxed by her soft voice, jumped into the carriage, and urged the buckle meat and vinegar fish to leave.
Zhu Youning stood in place, watching them walk away, and then she pulled Bailing and Thrush: "Let's go, accompany me for a walk." ”
"Didn't the girl go to Fang Da's shopkeeper?"
Zhu Youning shook his head with a smile, and when he turned around, he glanced behind him suspiciously.
has the experience of going up to the back mountain to see the excitement together, Zhu Youning knows what kind of character Li Tuobei is, she refuses repeatedly, Li Tuobei will inevitably be suspicious, it is not that she deliberately concealed it, but now that the foundation of Qianzhuang is not stable, she does not want to expose it yet.
That's right, Chang'an Qianzhuang is her handiwork.
Some time ago, she had been looking for shops on the street with larks and thrushes.
That day, I was eating tea in the teahouse, and by chance I met the shopkeeper of Fangda, who inherited the ancestral business and was not good at management and was dull. Hearing that the shopkeeper of Fang Da wanted to exchange or sell the teahouse, Zhu Youning moved his mind.
She kept a lot of silver for others during this time, and she took down the whole teahouse. Even with the decoration, she spent more than 400 taels of silver, and the lark and thrush were shocked.
But these two girls were extremely loyal to Zhu Youning, Zhu Youning told them to keep it secret, and they didn't even say anything about the nightingale and mandarin duck who entered the house together.
The three of them slipped around the street for a while, and when they saw some stalls selling knick-knacks, they would stop, and when they met someone selling rock sugar gourds, they each bought a bunch and nibbled on the street.
Bai Ling and Thrush ate snacks that they had never dared to think of before, and followed Zhu Youning to look left and right.
The "Buddha jumping over the wall", which was far behind the group, observed for a moment, and finally turned to catch up with Li Tuobei's carriage.
In the carriage, Li Tuobei was lying down and eating melon seeds, and he didn't care if he got the skin of the melon seeds all over his body.
The Buddha jumped over the wall and said, "Master, Miss Zhu took the girl to go shopping and eat snacks." They focused on two trinket sellers, presumably to buy some trinkets. ”
"Oh, then leave it alone." Li Tuobei patted the scraps on his hand, and took a sip of tea, "Let's go back." ”
Zhu Youning didn't know that he had avoided Li Tuobei's eyeliner, but he had enough to eat and drink by himself, so he went to Chang'an Qianzhuang and told the thrush to knock on the back door.
"Here we are."
The one who came to open the door was a sixty-year-old man with missing fingers, and when he saw Zhu Youning, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes turned into a flower.
"Miss Proprietor is here, please come in." Turning around, he said to the inverted seat that was used as a kitchen: "Aunt Li, is the old hen you prepared okay?" Miss is here! ”
"Alright, alright!" A cool woman's voice came from the kitchen, but the woman was slower on crutches because she had broken a leg, but when she saw Zhu Youning, she liked it very much.
"Miss is here! Yesterday a comprador bought a fat chicken, I made a pot of soup, from last night to the present, now the flesh and bones are crispy, you can eat a bite on a cold day. ”
"Okay, then thank you Aunt Li."
"Oh, Miss Dongjia, don't be so polite, this is your thing, if we don't have Miss Dongjia to take it in, we may not be able to live like this."
"yes." Uncle Yang, who was guarding the gate, also said, "Manfuyang County, no, Manhangfufu, I'm afraid I can't find people as kind as Master Zhu and Miss Zhu." ”
The guys in the money village, the nurses and the kitchen handymen, Zhu Youning invited the widows and widows from Daddy Liu, and only let them do what they could, and the treatment was very good.
These people have been helped by Father Liu for many years, and they have not forgotten their roots even after getting the monthly money, and they only keep a small part of it, and most of the silver is handed over to the miscellaneous courtyard to feed those orphans and people who have completely lost their ability to work.
