Chapter 182: Half a Day of Floating Life

Yun'er naturally knew that what Miss said was about her and Yu Ren. Because of the marriage contract with Yang Ju in the past, although Zhao Rui knew that he liked Yu Ren in his heart, he still chose to go with Yang Ju.

"Miss, you don't have to be too sad. I don't think Yu Xianggong will forget you. Now he is also settled. Why don't I go back and find someone to go to their house to find out what his parents are talking about. ”

Zhao Rui sighed. "You girl is usually very shrewd, why are you stupid now. Not to mention that there are no serious elders in Yu Xianggong's family now, even if there is, how can he be a person who obeys the wishes of his elders. Now, I don't have that luxury, I just hope that he can find a lady as soon as possible. I can often see that I will be content in this life. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Rui suddenly asked Yun'er, "You say, will he really come to see me?" ”

"Definitely. For him, the young lady risked her life and came to Songjiang to find him and give him this trick. Now, with the merits complete, he will naturally remember the kindness of the young lady. ”

Zhao Rui shook his head, "I don't want him to remember my kindness." As long as he has me in his heart, I will be content in this life. ”

When Yu Ren outside the door heard this, he felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, coughed lightly and walked into the money shop.

There was no one else in the shop at this time, probably the guys had gone to eat. There are only two people, Zhao Rui and Yun'er.

Hearing someone come in, the master and servant hurriedly stopped talking.

"Does the little minister want to exchange silver?" Yun'er habitually walked out of the counter and greeted her. Zhao Rui lowered her head and continued to look at her account book.

Yu Ren gently took off the hat on his head.

Yun'er saw that it was Yu Ren, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! ”

Zhao Rui heard Yun'er's shout, and also raised her head. Seeing that the person standing in front of him was the person he had been thinking about for a long time, he couldn't help but be stunned. That sudden sense of happiness made Zhao Rui at a loss for a while. But her face suddenly turned crimson again, and she didn't know if he had heard her conversation with Yun'er just now.

Although she had no scruples when she talked to Yun'er about these words, it was because Yun'er had followed her since she was a child, just like her own sisters, and even a little closer than her own sisters. For her, Zhao Rui never hid her inner thoughts. But if these words are listened to by Yu Ren......

When Zhao Rui thought of this, she felt that her heart was beating "plop, plop". She hoped that Yu Ren heard their words, but she was afraid that he would hear them.

After a long time, Zhao Rui calmed down a little and said softly, "You, when did you come?" ”

Yu Ren didn't want to embarrass Zhao Rui too much, so he said, "It's just a matter of getting off the horse." You're really hard to find here! ”

Zhao Rui recovered her nature a little, and turned her head to let Yun'er pour tea, but saw that Yun'er, a ghostly girl, had already run away.

Zhao Rui scolded Yun'er while pouring tea for Yu Ren personally.

Yu Ren took the tea from Zhao Rui's hand, feeling that her hands were cold and cold, and she was trembling slightly. Yu Ren couldn't help but gently hold her hand.

"Are you cold? Why are your hands so cold? Now that it's getting cold, you have to wear more clothes, but don't catch a cold and get sick like last time! ”

Zhao Rui's hand was suddenly held by Yu Ren, his face turned red, and he quickly looked up to look outside, but fortunately there were no passers-by outside at this time. So, Zhao Rui just let Yu Ren hold her little hand, feeling the rare warmth and happiness, until a cough came from outside.

When Zhao Rui heard the voice, she quickly withdrew her hand and took a step back with a blushing face.

Looking at the door, it turned out that a regular customer had come to exchange silver. Zhao Rui hurriedly poured the tea and shouted inside, "Yun'er? Yun'er? This girl is getting more and more disagreeable, and she doesn't know where to be lazy, so she doesn't even greet guests. ”

Yun'er heard the call and hurriedly ran out of the room.

"Miss, you call me."

Zhao Rui pretended to be angry and said, "You girl, where did you run away again?" Don't see any guests coming? ”

Yun'er looked up and saw that there was indeed a regular customer in the store, so she hurriedly stepped forward to greet the customer and exchanged the silver for the customer. The guest was also very knowledgeable, and after redeeming the silver, he went away at once, and was not verbose.

"Miss, you accompany Yu Xianggong to sit in the inner room! I asked Ah Fu to come to the store, and I went to cook for Yu Xianggong. ”

"It's good!" Zhao Rui said, stood up and led Yu Ren into the back room.

The back room of Zhao's money shop is a small courtyard house, which is significantly larger than the front. Zhao Rui led Yu Ren to the room where he lived and sat down. He poured tea for Yu Ren again. There was a fire in the house, and it was very warm.

Zhao Rui walked up, helped Yu Ren untie his robe, and hung it at the door. Her movements were so natural, like a virtuous wife greeting a returning man.

"Where are you from?"

"There's been so much going on these days, and it's hard to be empty. It was all done yesterday, so I hurried to you. I'm still afraid that you will leave, so I rode from Suzhou to this side yesterday afternoon. It didn't disappoint me. ”

Zhao Rui glanced at Yu Ren with disgust, "How can you not take care of yourself when you are such an adult." Now that it's so cold, how can you still ride a horse! Ride it! You shouldn't be in a hurry at night! In the winter, the cold outside is the heaviest, so it is easy to get sick. ”

Yu Ren listened to Zhao Rui's concerned reproach, smiled and lay down on a low couch in the room. "I'm not afraid that you will scold me for breaking my appointment! Besides, I'm anxious to see if the ban has been lifted at home. ”

"It's been solved early, you didn't leave for two days, and Huang Qian took people away. However, after this trouble, your family's losses are not small. I heard that the third young master Xu took the opportunity to build a weaving house again, but it was not as big as the original, but there were also one or two thousand looms! Most of the weavers used are old weavers in your family. Zhao Rui has been staying in Songjiang City for a while, and has inquired more and more about Yu Ren's affairs, and also knows that he was almost raided by the government after being exposed by Xu Sanshao this time, so he is also very attentive to this Xu family.

"It doesn't matter, there is a lot of business in the world! I can't always dominate it, I'm the only one who does it. I believe in Cao An's ability and I believe that he will be able to revive our family's business soon.

When it comes to business, I'm a little weird. Why is it that the treasure banknotes issued by the Ming government are not used now, but there are still people who want to buy the banknotes printed in a small shop like yours? Yu Ren was sitting outside, and the guest was exchanging silver for banknotes.

Zhao Rui laughed, "You don't know this!" It turns out that our all-knowing Yu Xianggong also has things that he doesn't know! Tell you about it! Actually, the reason is very simple. Because the treasure money of the government cannot be exchanged for silver at will; Even if it can be redeemed, it often cannot be equaled, and it will become less and less over time. So now no one uses it.

And the banknotes printed at our house can be exchanged for silver in our store at any time. Our family has set up branches in Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Songjiang and Hangzhou, and there are several places where we do business and trade, if we think the silver is too bulky, we can exchange it into paper money in our store, and then exchange it for cash in other stores.

In addition, we also print some banknotes in our shop. But we never print randomly, and we print as much money as we have in the store. When the guest takes the banknotes to exchange for silver, they can do it at any time, or they can take the banknotes issued in one place to the store in another place to exchange silver, which is very convenient. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Isn't this the silver standard in modern national currencies?

It seems that this Zhao family is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! There are still people who are so financially savvy. Yu Ren couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Who came up with this idea? So at stake? ”

Zhao Rui pointed at herself proudly, "It's Miss Ben."

"But how are you going to make money?" Yu Ren asked again.

"It's not hard. When we exchange money for our guests, we take a certain amount of money according to the amount of money they exchange as a rake. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he realized that their money shop was far from the function and operation of the bank in the future.

"Do you lend money abroad?"

"Loan too! It's just not much, they are generally regular customers, and the loan term is mostly only three or five months. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he suddenly had a whimsical idea, he really wanted to cooperate with Zhao Rui to build a commercial bank similar to modern society.
