Huo Xi was walking around with a few girls. Many people recognized them as people from the Mu family and gathered around them. The merchants and pundits stuffed things into their arms desperately.
I was blocked by people on the road.
Many merchants in Kunming City, and the Han Chinese who came here to do business, all migrated here when Lao Hou built the city. They thought of coming here to make a living, and slowly opened up the situation and took root here.
They all remembered the old Marquis and showed great respect to the people of Mu Mansion.
"Stop it, stop it. If you don't want money, I won't dare to take it." Huo Xi felt that the vendors were too enthusiastic and couldn't resist.
"It's not worth taking. Just accept it, Madam Crown Prince." "Yes, that's right, it's all our thoughts, just accept it."
"No, no, we can't accept this. Vanilla, please pay me quickly."
Seeing something worth a few pennies, the Crown Prince's wife insisted on throwing down the dime, but no one else had the nerve to accept it.
Seeing that Mrs. Shizi insisted on giving money, she accepted it at a small price. Huo Xi felt grateful and silently noted it in her mind.
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, shaking off the tail following them, and entering Sihai Bank, Huo Xi and others breathed a sigh of relief.
“I didn’t expect the merchants on the street to be so enthusiastic.”
Vanilla slumped on the chair, breathing heavily. The vendors were so enthusiastic that they almost couldn't walk because they were surrounded. Today they were remodeled, and the vendors still recognized them.
Fortunately, Madam made the last noise, and Jin Chan escaped from his shell and ran away from the pursuer. "Is Madam in there?" Vanilla turned to look at the backyard.
The clerk from Sihai Bank nodded: "Yes, the boss is talking with the shopkeepers inside."
In the backyard of Sihai Bank, Huo Xi flipped through the account books and kept nodding. He didn't expect that there would be so much money exchanged in the southwest border area, which was no less than the main store in the capital.
"Although this place is located on the southwest border, there are many small countries and tribes on the border. In the southwest, there are Zhenla, Siam, Deleng, Panxiang, Baihua, and Champa countries. In the northwest, there are dozens of small countries in the Western Region of Xirong and Tufan.
Among the fourteen tribes, the tea and horse trade is very prosperous. Cloths, utensils, and medicinal materials shipped from various places also go here. Our bank has a large amount of money transactions every day..."
Huo Xi looked at the account book and was very happy.
Before she was the wife of the Crown Prince, she was a businessman, and now she is still a businessman who smells like money. Who wouldn't be happy seeing the money in vain?
He was very satisfied with the operation of this local bank, "Have you prepared the gold and silver that I asked you to prepare before?"
"Yes, yes, they are all prepared according to the master's instructions. They are all placed in the warehouse, waiting for the master to use them at any time."
"Very good. Just put it in the warehouse for now. I'll have someone pick it up when needed."
"Yes. Is the owner going to do some business?"
The boss has always been in the capital, rarely making a trip to Yunnan, and as the crown prince's wife, she refuses to stay in the house properly. These series of big moves may be some kind of plan.
Gen Qi raised his eyes to look at Huo Xi. This was the first time he saw his wife. He was originally the general accountant of all the young master's properties, but his wife asked him to manage Sihai Bank and ordered him to be in charge of six branches in Yunnan.
Madam, she has a keen eye for pearls. He just likes to deal with money and counts gold and silver.
"Yes, there will be a big move next..."
Gen Qi was a little excited after hearing this, and rubbed her hands secretly, "The Crown Prince still has many capable people. If Madam needs it, you can call them on."
"Okay, I'll have to trouble them when the time comes."
"What a trouble. They are eager to serve under Madam and take orders."
Huo Xi lingered in Sihai Bank for most of the day, then went out through the back door to meet with the stewards of several other places, and then went to see the large courtyard she had just bought.
I was very satisfied to see that everything was decorated according to her requirements.
I stayed outside until the sun set. I found a local restaurant by the Dian Lake to sit down and had a hearty and delicious dinner before going back.
The next day, Huo Xi's many arrangements were announced.
Eastern suburbs, residential area for military dependents garrisoned in Kunming City.
"Ask Xiduo to work in the back street and take care of lunch? Is this what the Crown Prince told me?" Grandma Zhi looked at the visitor with doubt.
Vanilla nodded: "Yes, didn't you see me standing next to our wife that day? I am the roommate of our wife, and I grew up with our wife. Don't worry, I won't lie to you. Our wife has been busy for several days.
God, I have just decided the matter. I am afraid that everyone will not believe it, so I have been specially ordered to inform you."
"No, no, it's not that I don't believe you, Madam." Grandma Zhi waved her hands hurriedly.
She lowered her head to look at her granddaughter who was leaning against her legs, and saw her holding on to the hem of her clothes with a timid look on her face. She was worried in her heart, "My granddaughter has never seen much of the world. She... Madam really wants her to work? No."
You called me?"
Xiduo is only eight years old, what kind of work can she do? She has received two months' monthly payment before, and she has two taels of silver. Can Xiduo earn one tael a month? How about a lunch?
"Whether she can earn it or not depends on herself. Our wife said the other day that our wages are not fixed. We will get more if we do more, and we will get less if we do less. Those who are diligent, can understand instructions, and work carefully and conscientiously will be better than
The lazy will take more."
"Oh, don't worry, my granddaughter is obedient and sensible, quick and hard-working. She helps me around the house even before she has a cooking stove, and she also does a lot of work in the fields."
I strongly recommend her granddaughter, for fear that Vanilla will not want her.
Then he asked unconfidently, "Do you really want her? Are you going to take care of a meal at noon? Are you going to drive her back in the evening?"
"Yes, if you are worried, you can go and have a look when we send a car to pick them up tomorrow. Xiduo is not the only child. Our wife is worried that it will not be safe for these children to go home after work in the evening, so we specially made a car
The extra-long carriage is specially designed to transport little girls and women like them."
"Okay, your wife is so thoughtful! Well, I will make her wait for you to pick her up early tomorrow." Grandma Zhi was excited.
After searching around the house, there was nothing to give in the end, so I packed up the dishes that the three of them wanted to eat and asked for herbs to take away.
"No, no, you can keep it to eat. Working hard is the best reward for our wife."
The two declined.
"Let's go." Grandma Zhi held the vegetables that Xianghua didn't want and waved to see her off at the door with her pair of grandchildren.
"Grandma, can I also get some work from Madam Zi?" Xiaoye raised her head and asked.
The mother next to my wife just now said that she would be responsible for a meal at noon. I wonder if it can make people full. Xiaoye licked his lips, he really wanted to have a full meal.
Grandma Zhi touched her grandson's head, feeling bitter in her heart.
"You still have to obey orders in the guardhouse and cannot go out. If your sister can earn one hundred and eighty yuan a month outside, it will be a great supplement to the family. We will be able to have enough to eat in the future!"
Xiduo nodded desperately: "Well, grandma, I will definitely work hard at my wife's place! I will definitely earn a lot of copper coins so that grandma and my brother can have enough to eat every day!"
She must have earned more than one hundred and eighty cents!
The wife said that if you do more, you will get more. She will work hard and do it with all her strength! She will have a meal at noon, and she will be full. She will not need to eat when she goes home in the evening.
This saves two meals for the family. Grandma and my brother can also eat more.
Xiduo stretched her neck and looked at the alley outside, wishing she could hear the sound of a carriage coming to pick her up for work.
