354 Digging a Pit (Asking for a Pink Ticket)
Ren Ruhua kept an eye on it, turned around and glanced at Yuying, told her to be quiet, and walked lightly towards the mountain rock.
“…… said that the merchant actually made a living with the Taishifu at the beginning, and many officials and dependents of Nanzhili made a fortune with him, and he also had a small family at home, which was very safe, Yun'er asked me to invest tens of thousands of taels of silver, but I used it to make a shop turnover, where can I take out so much money at once? It's so sad! ”
The man sitting under the stone sighed.
The more Ren Ruhua listened, the more she looked like Xie Wei, and looked at it carefully, only to see the emerald green Shu brocade spring dress, the milky white eight-panel pomegranate skirt, the face was facing this side, and she was seeing half of the usual cold face now with a worried face, who was not Xie Wei? And sitting in front of her is her dowry girl Dou, and the two of them are covered with wild rhododendrons on their knees, and it seems that they are also enjoying the garden.
Thinking of what she had just said, Ren Ruhua's ears seemed to be glued to a stone.
What merchants? What makes a fortune?
"But I missed this opportunity, that is a matter of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and the slave maid heard that Jin Yong's wife also made a small fortune last year with this person." Citi said.
"Isn't it?" Xie Wei's brows furrowed even tighter, "Mrs. Jin didn't believe it at the beginning, so she only invested five thousand taels of silver, although she also earned twenty thousand taels, but in the end, she earned it." This time it was different, he was going to Goryeo to buy and sell silk and porcelain, the distance was so far, the number was set at least 30,000 taels, I couldn't do it, and I don't know who had this fate? ”
The two fell silent, but Ren Ruhua behind the stone almost jumped out of his throat when he heard it! Xie Wei actually did reselling business with others in private? She's not afraid of being cheated!
"Hey." While he was in doubt, Citi suddenly raised his head again, "Young Master Yun will never cheat grandma, even if he cheats himself, he can't cheat his sister." If Grandma is really short of money, why don't you go with Princess Anmu to take advantage of the turnaround-"
"Don't mention her!" Xie Wei suddenly scolded in a deep voice, "Who is she?" Why should I borrow money from her?! ”
"Grandma!" Citi stood up and sighed: "You can't be angry with anyone, I don't think the princess is that kind of small person, you can discuss with her for a short dial, and the merchant is back." Wouldn't it be better if you could add some interest to her? Young Master Yun didn't say it. This person only needs to buy two shares, there are so many nobles in Beijing, if the news is known, who can't come up with a mere 30,000 taels of silver?
"The 30,000 taels are thrown down. Two months at most. At least it is a return of fifty or sixty thousand taels. These fifty or sixty thousand taels are easy to say, but it is difficult to really earn them. With this money, at least you can keep your life safe and worry-free? Grandmother. Don't hesitate! Anyway, it's not too much, so I went to the palace to borrow silver and went to the Dongsheng Inn on South Street! ”
Xie Wei looked at the ground in a daze and didn't speak.
Ren Ruhua was even more frightened, only to feel that the blood in his whole body was stirred by the words "fifty or sixty thousand taels".
She was in no mood to go shopping anymore, so she glanced at Yuying, and then walked out of the garden gate again. Here Xie Wei heard the slight rustling sound behind the stone, and also smiled at Citi, "It's not good to sit on the stone for a long time, let's go back to the room." ”
Ren Ruhua returned to Dangui Courtyard, her mind was still full of what Citi had just said, and she only felt funny and surprised. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Invest 30,000 taels of silver, and you can double the amount of silver in just two months! This Xie Wei must be crazy! Must be crazy! How is this possible? She must be a liar, she must have been deceived!
She walked back and forth around the room, unable to calm down.
Although the Zeng family of the Ren family is not short of money, it is not the master who can get 350,000 taels of silver at every turn, even if Yunzhi Fang pays back quickly, now the cash on her hand is only 6 or 7,000 taels, this is the taste of 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver in hand, it is too strange, and it is too incredible!
There are a lot of caravans out of the customs, and she also knows that these people often make a round trip of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and when it is not good to make money in Beijing, many of them rely on this road to maintain their family background, Xie Wei actually has dealings with these people, and she is actually making a fortune on this road......
Ren Ruhua couldn't calm down for a long time.
Yunzhi Fang is making money, but who would be afraid that there is too much money? Now that Rong's has taken away 20% of the shares, the income is not so impressive, and even if it is not divided, it will definitely not be able to earn 60,000 taels of silver in two months, right?
Xie Wei is not a fool, she is so shrewd, how can she be deceived by others? Yes, didn't you say that this person was introduced by Xie Yun? How could Xie Yun lie to Xie Wei? If it was a lie, how could Xie Wei hide behind a stone and worry about money? Citi will also encourage her to borrow money from Xie Wan?
Ren Ruhua found that he was gradually tempted.
Yuying saw her fidgeting appearance, and said, "There is no rush to make a decision on this matter, didn't they just say that it was at the Dongsheng Inn on South Street?" Grandma might as well let someone secretly inquire to see if there is such a person. ”
"That's exactly what you say!" Ren Ruhua was awakened by her words, and suddenly stopped and said. "You will arrange for someone to go out and ask if there is a merchant living outside the inn! Be as detailed as you can! ”
It wasn't until he watched the assigned person go out that Ren Ruhua gradually regained his composure.
After about two hours, I got up at noon, and the person who went out to inquire about the news was waiting under the corridor, Ren Ruhua was worried about it, and got out of bed with a bone, and made up to the outer hall, and the person came in and said: "Back to grandma, Dongsheng Inn does have a merchant from outside the Guan, and the younger brother of the grandmother in the west has also visited Uncle Yun, the younger brother of the grandmother in the west. There is another official I don't know. ”
Ren Ruhua made up her mind slightly, and said, "Do you know what your name is and how old you are?" ”
The man replied: "I only know that everyone calls him Ma Sanye, who is about forty years old. He doesn't look like a merchant, but like a scribe with a good family. I heard that there is a horse house in Nancheng that is his house in Beijing, but because there are few official households in Nancheng, he also rented a room at Dongsheng Inn as a place to receive customers. ”
But where there is some strength of the merchants. Naturally, it doesn't look like a merchant, and in order to be able to squeeze into the circle of scholars, he must be vassal.
By this time, Ren Ruhua already had a little bit of faith.
They are not vendors who set up stalls, and their wealth will naturally not be revealed to others at will, and it is good that the servants can inquire about this, but according to Ren Ruhua's statement, she will get 30,000 taels of silver for his shares, and she can't take out so much silver at this time......
"Forget it. I'll go and meet him myself. ”
Ren Ruhua waved his hand. So decided.
The next morning, she went out with her front foot, and Xie Wei shook a fan on her back foot.
When the meal had just been passed in the house at noon, Ren Ruhua came back with an unconcealable joy.
Citi gave the little girl outside a look, and then went back to the house to wait for Xie Wei to take a nap.
Ren Ruhua hasn't had lunch yet. But she didn't feel hungry at all!
She met Ma Sanye. Knocked on the side for a while. Not only did he not find the slightest suspicion, but he also found that this third master Ma was quite knowledgeable and had a steady demeanor. Not the kind of slippery person. Of course, it is impossible for a liar to have such profound knowledge, and judging from the various signs of Xie Wei and him, it is of course true that he wants to find someone to join the gang.
And the point is, he has the seal of the government! How can a liar have a letter from the government?!
Ren Ruhua was a little excited, she had already planned this matter, just waiting for the rice to go to the pot, but there were still more than 20,000 taels of silver, what should I do?
During the conversation between her and Ma Sanye, several groups of people came and said that they wanted to see him, but when he heard the name, he asked his subordinates to send him back. In this regard, Ma Sanye's statement is: "There are people everywhere in Beijing who want to make money, but I may not be able to satisfy all of them." In this case, for the sake of safety, I naturally have to find a proper person to cooperate, otherwise I will miss the livelihood of making money, and everyone will lose a lot. ”
So she moves faster, if she lets others take the lead, won't it be too late to regret it?
"Where will the money come from?" She thought with her forehead propped on, unaware that she was muttering.
Yuying heard it, so she said, "Grandma, why don't you invite Grandma Rong to come forward together?" You and Grandma Rong are already partners, and this kind of thing pulling her together is only good for grandma, not bad. ”
Ren Ruhua raised his head when he heard this, yes, pull the Rong family together! The Rong family withdrew from Jianxianglou, and there were tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand, and to put it mildly, with the Rong family accompanying him to test the waters, even if it was a scam, he was not afraid, right?
Thinking of this, she stood up: "Go and post to Grandma Ronger, just say that I will ask her out for tea tomorrow." ”
Xie Wan didn't know what Ren Ruhua said about moving the Rong family, in short, when Gongsun Liu came back, he was holding Ren Ruhua's 5,000 taels of silver tickets and Rong's 25,000 taels of silver tickets.
Xie Wan dusted off the stack of silver tickets and said, "Send a message to Sun Shiqian, and ask him to announce that Sizhou Pavilion is my property tomorrow." By the way, let him be sure to add, ask the big guys to help take care of the business. ”
Sun Shiqian was really well versed in the disputes in the harem, and after spreading the words in a quiet way, there was movement soon after.
The patrons who were brought into the Yunzhi Fang by Ren Ruhua at the beginning were all remorseful, who would have thought that it would be Princess An Mu who fought in the ring with Ren Ruhua? And they bought Ren Ruhua's account like this just because she is the third daughter-in-law of the Zeng family, while Xie Wan is the daughter-in-law of the crown prince and the crown princess.
So as soon as everyone learned the news, they all rushed to Sizhou Pavilion to buy something more or less to show their gratitude, after all, this can also be regarded as a gesture of goodwill. In this way, the business of Sizhou Pavilion instantly returned to popularity, and Yunzhi Fang became unpopular as if it had encountered a cold winter in advance!
Ren Ruhua rushed to Bei'an Street as soon as he learned the news, only to see that the people in the Sizhou Pavilion on the opposite side were crowded and everyone was bumping into people, which was even more lively than the cloud fat workshop in the early days!
She panicked suddenly, she really didn't expect Xie Wan to suddenly counterattack after a few months in the nest!
What should I do? She still has a few thousand taels of silver in stock! (To be continued.) )
ps: On the last day of the month, ask for a pink ticket~!
