Chapter Twenty-Four: Bringing the Silver (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Reward)

The white shopkeeper smiled all over his face, and personally welcomed the Yan family into the best and most expensive private room in Jinghong Building.

The guy served tea and snacks, the tea soup was fragrant, the dim sum was exquisite, the private room was beautifully furnished, the white shopkeeper was full of flattery, Yan was in it, and suddenly there was a trace of unreal feeling.

But this feeling was only fleeting, and when Yan took out a golden box from the small cloth bag, Yan knew that all this was real, more real than real money!

The white shopkeeper's gaze fell on the golden box, and the flattery on his face deepened a little.

"Big lady, this is."

A flash of contempt flashed in Yan's eyes, and she opened the box and took out a seal from it.

"Shopkeeper Bai, you can see clearly, this is the seal of Jinghong Building."

The white shopkeeper took the seal with both hands, looked at it carefully, and returned the seal to Yan's with great importance, he nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes." ”

"The seal is real?" Yan took a sip of tea, raised his tail finger high, and with only his thumb and index finger, he twisted the seal and shook it in front of the white shopkeeper.

The white shopkeeper hurriedly said: "If you go back to the eldest lady, this seal is indeed true." ”

"Then with this seal, can I take out the money from you?" Tea is good, snacks are good, but Yan Shi has no leisure to drink tea here, that fake made her lose two thousand taels of silver, and she wants to get this silver back.

As for whether the fake will make a fuss when it comes back, whatever.

Anyway, even if this Jinghong Building doesn't give the fake, it will be robbed by the old lady, since it can't reach her, then don't blame her for being polite.

The white shopkeeper was stunned, and hurriedly said: "If you can take it, you can take it, but you need the two of us to be present together to take out the money, the black shopkeeper is not here, he asked for leave, and he has to go for a month, so."

Yan slapped the table, and the majesty of the master mother was fully revealed!

"So you can't get the money? I don't think you can't take it out, but you don't want to, what's the matter, my identity as the eldest wife of the He family is not worthy? ”

The white shopkeeper was taken aback, he was an external shopkeeper, and he didn't sell himself to Jinghonglou, of course, he didn't sell himself to the He family, otherwise, at this time, he would have knelt down.

He didn't kneel, but saluted Yan with a fist: "The eldest lady is angry, the reason why we have this rule here is because the silver earned in the building is locked, and the silver box has two locks, and the black shopkeeper and I each hold a key, which is also to prevent the two of us from filling our own pockets, not only here, but also a few families in this Zhending Mansion do the same." ”

Yan has also heard of such a thing, not to mention the Jinghong Building, even her own silver box, which can only be opened with two keys.

"If the black shopkeeper doesn't come back for a month, won't you even have the money to purchase?"

Yan retreated, the black shopkeeper would leave for a month, she couldn't wait, and in a month, the fake should come back.

The white shopkeeper didn't know if he understood, and he said: "There is some silver in the account, which is used for turnover in case of emergency, but it is only about two thousand taels." ”

Two thousand taels?

Yan's eyes lit up, wasn't it two thousand taels that she was taken away by those corpse diggers?

"Only two thousand taels?" Yan asked in a deep voice.

The white shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I have to go to the account room to see, I have spent some more in the past two days." ”

"Okay, you go and see, how much will be paid for me, I have an urgent need."

Yan picked up the seal again: "This is my daughter, left to me before leaving, and also in case I need it." ”

"Okay, okay, please wait."

The white shopkeeper agreed, and retreated, and after a while, he came in with a box with the bookkeeper.

The box was opened, and there was a piece of white flowers, and it was not a silver ticket, but a genuine silver.

Yan was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained silent: "How many of these are there?" ”

The account room stood with his hands down, respectfully: "Go back to the owner's wife, here is one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two taels, this is the account book, and please check the owner's wife." ”

Yan Shi was a little regretful, he couldn't even make up two thousand taels.

That's it, 1,800 taels is 1,800 taels, and the worse 100 taels should be sent away.

Yan didn't have the heart to check the accounts, she flipped through the account books casually, and said, "I remember the accounts well, so let's follow this in the future." ”

She stood up and said to Shihong, "Let's go." ”

The white shopkeeper looked courteous: "Big lady, will you send this silver back to the house?" ”

Yan was about to nod, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This is not a silver ticket, this is a box of silver, and if it is carried into the mansion like this, it will be spread throughout the mansion in less than a stick of incense.

Thinking of the mother-in-law who hated to take all the good things into her arms, and the two red-eyed chicken-like concubines, Yan said: "Take it to Yan Ji's pen and ink shop on Guangsheng Street." ”

Yan Ji's pen and ink shop on Guangsheng Street is the property of Yan's mother's family, and it was here that she met Master He.

"Okay!"

The white shopkeeper instructed the man to deliver the silver, but the account keeper pointed to a page in the account book and said to the Yan family: "Mrs. Dongjia, please sign your name here and put a handprint." ”

Yan Shi frowned and looked at the seal in his hand: "Isn't this a seal?" Why do you want me to sign and press my handprint? ”

The account office explained: "Mrs. Dongjia, the seal letter in your hand can withdraw money, but it cannot be used to enter the account, the account still has to be entered with your signature and your handprint, you are the wife of the owner, our owner is your daughter, this is all a family, you see."

Originally, the two men had already lifted the box, but now they put it down again.

Yan wanted to scold, but he endured it.

Isn't it just a signature? Could the fake still be able to get the money back with this signature?

If she dares to ask for it, then she is unfilial!

Yan Shi did not hesitate any longer, took the pen and signed his name on the account book, and also pressed his handprint.

The two men lifted the box and sent it to the Yan Ji pen and ink shop on Guangsheng Street with their hands and feet.

Yan Shi was not in a hurry to return home, she sat in the pen and ink shop, and looked at the silver one by one.

At this time, the old lady was being complimented by several old sisters, and you praised her as a blessed old feudal monarch.

Since the death of the old lady, the old lady has been worried, and the old lady's side has been deserted, and these cousins and cousins in the past have not come to the door for a long time on the grounds of not disturbing her quietness.

Not only did they come today, but they also brought her a generous gift, and now the people of the entire Zhending Mansion all know that the eldest daughter of their He family not only has a good family affair in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, but also has a rich dowry, and even the time-honored Jinghong Building of Zhending Mansion is also their He family.
