Lord Nan urged her to go back to the palace.

If this matter had been put on an ordinary woman, she would have packed up her things and ran back in fright.

But Du Wei is not very nervous about this matter, firstly, she does not need to rely on others to survive, and secondly, the Nanwang Mansion is no longer as deserted as it used to be, when Princess Nan drove away a side room in the name of splitting the family, and the concubine room has moved back to the palace with her children, and she does not like to contrast with those people, one in front of her and one behind her back, which is very annoying.

So she only asked someone to send a message back to King Nan, saying that she would consider this matter, and went to take care of her Youlan Pavilion's business.

Because of the prosperity of business, Du Wei asked Cang Ming to take down all the shops on both sides of the Youlan Pavilion, open up in the middle, and set up a special VIP entrance, where men's clothing and women's clothing are completely separated, and they do not disturb each other. The earliest entrance was left untouched and open to the common people of the capital.

Cang Ming expanded the backyard three times, and dug the basement as a warehouse according to Du Wei's design drawings, and redecorated the other rooms, and specially reserved a room for her to rest and settle.

Du Wei is still dressed as a matchless son in red, a brocade robe with a fiery red lotus pattern, and the cuffs are embroidered with silver threads, flashing with a little silver light with her every move.

The courtyard piled up a lot of cloth from the Liangzhou City Dyeing Workshop, they have not set up a dyeing workshop in the capital, although the freight is high, but their goods are a cost of ninety percent of the profit, so it is even more mysterious to come, but caters to the high minds of the nobles.

It was noon, Du Wei put down the charcoal in her hand and rubbed her sore wrist.

When I looked out the window, I saw that dozens of workers who were in charge of moving goods outside had also stopped their work and gathered under the trees in the courtyard for lunch.

Each worker gets three large steamed buns, a large wooden bucket on the ground filled with green vegetables and tofu soup, dozens of porcelain bowls piled up in a basin for them to use at will, and a wooden pot on the ground with pickles.

Although it is not sumptuous and a little shabby, Du Wei knows in her heart that it is not easy for these workers to eat such a lunch.

She leaned against the window and watched the workers eat, and in a few moments she noticed a strange phenomenon.

Almost all the workers put away their own steamed buns, some only ate half of them, and more were reluctant to eat one, so they were all carefully wrapped.

The vegetable soup and pickles were available to them at will, so these people all filled them with vegetable soup, and drank the large barrel of vegetable soup in a short time.

Du Wei looked at it in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

At this moment, Cang Ming came in from outside the courtyard, Du Wei knew that he and Canglan usually took turns to preside over the business of the store, and at noon, they would each rest for half an hour and come to the backyard for lunch.

Because she stayed here today, Cang Ming was not at ease, and came back earlier than usual, obviously afraid that she would be hungry.

Du Wei beckoned to him from the window, and Cang Ming understood it and immediately entered the house.

"Those people...... "Pointing out the window in a low voice, "have you noticed that they hide their dry food when they eat lunch?" ”

Cang Ming understood at a glance and explained: "I know this, in fact, it is not only them, but many people who come to work these days will do this, they save dry food, and when they go back at night, their families can use this dry food as dinner to satisfy their hunger." ”

"But how can they have the strength to work when they only drink vegetable soup at noon?" Du Wei sighed.

Cang Ming secretly glanced at her face, as if he was afraid that she would be angry, and hesitated: "Fortunately, our work here is not in a hurry, we can let them do it slowly, and these goods are the last batch today, and we can pay them the money in the evening." ”

When Du Wei heard him say this, she knew that he had misunderstood, thinking that she disliked those people for not working hard.

"I just wonder they don't look like coolie laborers." She had also seen those who worked hard to help people carry goods for a living, most of them were tall and strong, and although they were dressed in tatters, they all had the strength to do something, and they were like these people, and their bodies were like autumn leaves, and they would shake when the wind blew.

"In fact, they didn't come from coolies, but they had no way out of life, and no one was willing to hire them, so I made my own decisions......," Cang Ming explained with his head down.

Cang Ming used to live a life on the dock, and his sister Canglan was sick at that time, if she hadn't met Du Wei, the two would have almost been forced to death by life.

"Brother Cangming." Du Wei sighed and turned to face him, "Big brother, you don't need to be like this. ”

Cang Ming didn't seem to blame when he heard her tone, and raised his head suspiciously.

Du Wei wore a silver mask on her face, revealing a pointed chin, and her red lips had a faint luster, slightly raising a beautiful arc upward.

"Since the affairs in this store are taken care of by you, I will naturally follow your wishes, as the saying goes, there is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is necessary, we have been together for so long, don't I still believe in your personality, big brother?"

Cang Ming was a little embarrassed to be praised by her face, although his expression was still a little wooden, but the roots of his ears were faintly red.

"I'm just curious about why these people have lost their lives, and how those few people who look like they are obviously reading books have come to this."

Cang Ming finally understood what she meant at this time, and said respectfully, "Please wait, Miss." ”

Du Wei was not in a hurry, and sat behind the window and watched Cang Ming go to talk to those people.

This is Cang Ming's ability, he is the type that seems to be particularly trustworthy at a glance, and because he is not of high origin, and understands the thoughts of these poor people, it didn't take much effort for him to bring the news back.

"Put lunch in this room, and we'll talk while we eat." Du Wei said lightly.

Cang Ming was a little surprised, but he still had the rice delivered, two plates of ordinary stir-fry, and the vegetable soup was no different from what the workers drank, except that there were more shredded meat than them.

Cang Ming said uneasily: "I have wronged you by eating this." ”

Du Wei chuckled silently: "We are a family here, and if we want to pay attention to what we do, it is still ordinary to be affordable." As he spoke, he took the initiative to clip a chopstick and fry it into the Cangming plate.

Cang Ming seemed a little nervous, but seeing Du Wei's calm expression, he had to pick up the small stir-fry with chopsticks, and when he ate it in his mouth, he felt that it was much more delicious than usual.

The two chatted while eating, and they didn't have to worry about food and silence in this place.

Cang Ming also told her about those people, and she realized that these people were all because of an accident at home, and they borrowed money from the bank, and they didn't want to be told that they were borrowing usury.

Usury, rolling interest, the interest will be doubled in a day, how can ordinary people afford it, go to sue the official, but the government does not accept it, and in the end it only makes the family ruined and the wife separated.

"Loan shark?" Du Wei was surprised, "Isn't the government not allowing Qian Zhuang to make this kind of business?" ”

Cang Ming's expression was slightly dark: "In fact, it is not allowed on the surface, but there are still many underground banks lending money in secret." ”

"Then the one they borrowed money from is ......"

"The famous Fulong money village in the capital."

Du Wei was stunned, that money bank can be said to be the number one in the capital, not only there are semicolons everywhere, but there are even five semicolons in the capital. The government does not allow usury to go abroad, but they dare to deceive those ordinary people who come to the bank to borrow money for turnover so blatantly.

"It looks like they have someone behind them." Du Wei sneered, "Isn't the silver of our Youlan Pavilion in this house?" If this really exists, she really has to start thinking about the credibility of this bank.

Cang Ming hurriedly shook his head, the silver of Youlan Pavilion has always been from the money number of Boss Tang in Liangzhou City, and here in the capital, there is a branch of Boss Tang.

"Do you want me to check the background of the Fulong Money?" Cang Ming asked.

"No, you don't." Du Wei smiled slyly, "It's better not to get involved in our Youlan Pavilion for this kind of thing, I have my own way." ”
