Chapter 335: The moon is dark and the wind is high

As for the Su Ji hot pot restaurant, Su Long may have been frustrated, and he no longer wants to get involved in the business of restaurants, and opened a new silk village on Suzaku Street last month, it is said that the business is not bad, because it is all cloth business, and it is very close to the Zhao family's shop, if it is not for the Zhao family's deep heritage, it is estimated that it will not be as simple as being affected by only a little.

Heh, I hope Su Ji can be a little more competitive and squeeze the Zhao family's business out of the yellow as soon as possible.

"Bizhu."

Bizhu, who was guarding the door, immediately walked in: "The slave is here." ”

"You go and send a message to the boss of Jiucuizhai, let him keep an eye on Qiqiao Zhai, and remember to come to the house to say anything about it."

Bizhu bowed down, and then hurried out of the house on an errand.

……

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, ah no, it was the moon and the stars were scarce, and when everything was silent, Hongmei, who was wearing night clothes, came out of the wall from the palace of Yujun County and went straight to Zhao's mansion.

Although the Zhao family is not the home of the eunuch, but because his family is an imperial merchant, the residence is also quite magnificent, and the courtyard of Wujin is also extremely luxurious, in short, traces of silver can be seen everywhere.

Hongmei had no intention of admiring the scenery in Zhao's mansion, and after directly finding Zhao Mu's study to make sure that there was no one inside, she directly picked the lock and slipped in.

Rich people like to make a secret compartment or secret room to store some important things, such as gold, silver, jewelry, silver tickets, etc., Hongmei is quite experienced in this, those drawers placed on the bright side she doesn't look through at all, as if she didn't see it.

Her focus was on the hidden places, such as the bookshelves, the vases, and the ornaments of some old tree roots, and after about two quarters of an hour, Hongmei finally found the hidden compartment behind a painting on the inner wall of the study

Open the dark grid, only to see a large stack of thick silver tickets inside, and more than a dozen house deeds, Hongmei is so big that these house deeds have been turned over, except for a deed of the Zhao family's old house, most of them are the title deeds of shops, only one is slightly special, because that place is really a little small, just a courtyard with two entrances, according to the Zhao family's financial resources, it is small to raise the outer room, why did Zhao Mu buy such a small house?

And isn't this dark grid too easy to find?

Silently wrote down the address, Hongmei put the silver tickets into her arms, and the title deed was put back in place, and the secret grid was closed again, after making sure that there was nothing missing, Hongmei left the study and flew away from Zhao's house.

Early the next morning, Ye Hanyu went to the court after breakfast, and after Gu Wanning got up, Hongmei took out a stack of silver tickets from Zhao's house last night.

"So much?" Chunlan, who was busy waiting for her master to change clothes, said in surprise.

It's really no wonder that she screamed, the silver ticket that Hongmei took out was too thick.

Hongmei glared at her for saying too much, and then explained: "It's just that it looks a lot, only thirteen pieces of 10,000 taels of silver, and the rest are all small denominations, and it is only more than 700,000 taels if you add one piece, and the slave maid turned over Zhao Mu's study, except for those land deeds that are not useful, and I turned over such a little thing, and the slave maid felt that this should not be." ”

She felt that with the strength of the Zhao family, there should be more than such things, but there was only one secret compartment in Zhao Mu's study, and there was really no more than that.

"It really shouldn't. Did you find anything else? Gu Wanning said as she took the clothes from Chunlan's hand and put them on herself.

Hongmei said: "The slave doesn't know if what she thinks is right or not, one is that the secret grid is too easy to find, and the other is that there are more than a dozen land deeds together with these silver tickets, in addition to those shops, there is a deed of the second courtyard, and the address is in Wuyi Lane." ”

"Second into the courtyard?"

In the best location in the capital, the second courtyard is only seven or eight thousand taels, and Wuyi Lane is relatively more biased, no matter how delicate the courtyard is, it will not exceed five thousand taels of silver, Zhao family, what do you want to do in such a small courtyard where you can't do anything?

Gu Wanning smiled: "Then you can go again tonight, maybe Zhao Mu's secret is in this small courtyard." ”

Chunlan said: "Master, can the slave go with Hongmei, what if the courtyard is full of gold, silver and jewelry, how much can she get alone?" ”

Gu Wanning nodded: "That's right, what you said makes sense, then let He Chu wait for you outside the Zhao family's small courtyard in a carriage tonight, if you really find any good things there, bring them all back to me, and you won't have to worry about the dowry of your marriage in the future." ”

Chunlan hurriedly said: "Master, we all have to follow the master for a lifetime, so we don't want to get married, besides, we can often get the master's reward, and there is no shortage of silver in our hands, so we don't need the master to save the dowry." ”

The four of them were adopted by the old master for their own reasons, she was a child and the family couldn't survive, because she was a girl, she was sold by her mother to the old bustard of the Qinglou, she still remembered that she was less than five years old at the time and was sold by her mother for five taels of silver.

It was the old master who happened to pass by and bought her, a five-year-old child, who had already understood a lot at that time, in fact, her mother could have sold her to the hands of people, just to sell one or two more silver, her mother had to push her into the fire pit.

She swore at that time that she would be the old master's in the future.

Later, the old master raised them, and the only requirement was to serve the master well, then her life was the master's.

The master is good to them, and the silver they reward starts at a hundred taels, and their private money has no chance to spend at all, so what do you want the silver for?

They just need their masters to be good.

"Okay, okay, don't want it, aren't you stupid? Who thinks a lot of silver! ”

Chunlan said: "The slave and maid are not too much silver, the slave and the maid just don't need the master's help to save the dowry, if the master rewards the slave with only one hundred and eighty taels of silver, the slave and the maid must be happy and happy." "The dowry is for marriage, so she should not marry it.

At this time, several concubines in the backyard had already come over to say goodbye, and after Gu Wanning saw that there was nothing wrong with the clothes on her body, she took the two girls to the main hall.

"The concubine greets the princess."

Gu Wanning smiled gently: "No courtesy, sisters, sit down, Chunlan has tea and snacks." ”

Lin Qingyin said with a smile: "The princess's dim sum here is the best, the concubine asked the girl around her to buy dim sum a few times in Jiucuizhai, it is really delicious, but it is not as good as the princess's here." ”

"Every time Princess Ben makes a new snack here, someone will bring you one, isn't it enough for you to eat?"

Lin Qingyin said: "It's enough, but the slave is greedy, Jiucui Zhai has a new heart every day, and the slave wants to try it!" ”

Zhao listened to Lin Qingyin and the princess singing and chatting happily, with a faint sarcasm in her eyes, but this look fell all on Gu Wanning's eyes, she picked up the handkerchief and pressed it lightly on the corner of her lips, but her thoughts were surging rapidly.
