The waiter diligently arranged a seat by the window on the second floor facing the street. Looking down from the second floor, one could have a clear view of more than ten shops opposite.
"What kind of dishes will Master Jiu want to order today?" After Brother Jiu sat down, the waiter stepped forward with a smile and bent down to ask.
"I'll bring you the signature dish here as usual, Lao San."
After hearing this, the waiter stepped back with a smile on his lips.
Wanyue couldn't help but look at Ninth Brother. He had become a master at a young age. She couldn't help but joke: "Ninth Brother, it seems that you come here often! You are actually more handsome than me who is outside the palace."
know it better."
Brother Ninth sighed inwardly, why did the fifth brother fall in love with this fifth sister-in-law? In order to marry her, the fifth brother actually knelt at the door of Yangxin Hall for three days!
He thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. After being quiet for a while, he replied: "Fifth sister-in-law, aren't you hungry? I've been giving porridge from Si Shi to Wu Si, and I've been hungry for a long time."
Wanyue lowered her head, looked at her shriveled belly, and swallowed. She hadn't seen meat and fish for several days, and she was indeed a little hungry.
Then he raised his eyes, stared at Brother Ninth and replied: "Brother Ninth, when you say this, I really feel a little hungry."
While he was talking, the waiter walked over quickly with a smile on his face, holding a plate of roast duck in his hand. In Wanyue's impression, this was a famous signature dish in the capital.
A trace of surprise flashed across Wanyue's face. This ninth brother is used to enjoying it. This roast duck is ruddy in color, crispy in skin and tender in meat. It is oily but not greasy, and has a delicious crispy flavor. It is known as "the best delicacy in the world".
Both of them seemed to have great appetites, and the waiter brought out two other signature dishes of Xingsheng Restaurant, squirrel mandarin fish and fried liver, which were also delicious.
After eating, Brother Jiu felt rejuvenated. He looked at Wanyue and said seriously: "Sister-in-law Fifth, what kind of shop do you think it would be good to open opposite this restaurant?"
Wanyue looked at the shops across the street for a while. They were either cloth shops or teahouses. The business was very average. Most of the people who entered Xingsheng Restaurant were rich or noble people. She thought about it and replied: "Those who enter this restaurant
I think they are all rich or noble people. While we were eating, there were several groups of people who were forced to send their waiters to exchange their banknotes a little further away because the waiters couldn't find them.
A bank would be nice."
Brother Jiu looked down at Wanyue and sighed, this fifth sister-in-law still has some brains.
He paused for a moment and then said with satisfaction, "Well, I think so too. Then Fifth Sister, let's open a bank first. I still have the capital."
Wanyue was full of joy for a moment. After her rebirth, she finally did something to improve her finances. Then she could take care of Guar Jia Yinan with peace of mind?
The two discussed the specific matters of opening a bank. The bank's profits would be distributed as dividends every six months. As for the shopkeeper and clerks, Brother Jiu would arrange it, while Wanyue would be responsible for the accounts of the bank.
With Ninth Brother here, Wanyue felt that nothing was impossible.
After the agreement was reached, Brother Ninth also looked happy, "From now on, the bank accounts will be left to Sister-in-law Five."
Wanyue readily agreed that she could still handle the account books properly.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the Ghost Festival on the half of July. This day is a day for the Han people to pay homage to their deceased relatives and remember their ancestors. With the old man’s promotion of Manchu and Han family relationships, the Manchu people have gradually begun to pay more attention to Han people’s festivals.
Baylor Mansion also held a sacrificial ceremony early in the morning. Because the bank had just opened a few days ago, Wanyue ran out a lot these days. Grandma Wang even reminded Wanyue that if she was busy with things today, she should go home early to avoid being late. Contaminated with lonely souls and wild ghosts.
Wanyue found it very funny. If there really were ghosts in this world, they would not be as scary as the human heart.
Before she packed up and left the house, she heard Grandma Wang repeating, "It is said that today the gate of hell will be opened by the Lord of Hell, and the ghosts in the underworld will be released. Those ghosts who have descendants and will be sacrificed by future generations will receive incense and offerings; The ownerless souls that have not been sacrificed wander around, lingering in any place that is inaccessible to cause harm to the world."
As Wanyue listened, she remembered that she fell in the snow before her rebirth. If she had died in that life, who would pay homage to her?
The market today sold underworld boots and shoes, Futou hats, golden rhinoceros belts, and colorful clothes. When she arrived at the bank, she asked a clerk from the bank to buy a set.
After making arrangements for the bank, she returned home.
Wu Beile has been going out early and coming back late recently, so there are not many days in the backyard. Fujin Guar Jiayinan has just become pregnant, and Fujin Liu Jia has two children to take care of, so the chance of being pampered in the backyard naturally falls. On Wanyue, Bai Jiasuxin, Zhang Gege and Zhou Gege.
Grandma Wang couldn't help but feel something in her heart. After all, her young lady was also a concubine, so she would definitely have more chances to be favored than other concubines.
However, Wanyue remained unmoved, and Su Xin had always adhered to her duties and would not compete for favor at this time. As for Zhang Gege and Zhou Gege, Wan Yue could not say.
Of these two people, one loves to be pushy and the other is outspoken.
Zhou Gege and Zhang Gege saw that there was no sign of competition between the Tara family of Fujin and the Baijia family of Fujin recently, so they started to compete with each other. Today you will send hibiscus cake, and tomorrow I will send horseshoe cake. They are both looking forward to Beile. I can go to their room.
There were also sacrifices held in the palace during the Ghost Festival. After Yinqi came back from the palace, he frowned when he saw the two plates of snacks placed in the study.
After weighing it again and again, he finally came to Yue'er's room. He opened the curtain and saw Grandma Wang waiting in the back room. He winked at Grandma Wang and motioned for Grandma Wang to go out.
Grandma Wang is quite sensible, and she didn't forget to close the door when she went out.
Yinqi stepped forward and couldn't help but startled Wanyue. She turned around and glanced at Yinqi in surprise, "Master Beile, I'm menstruating. You'd better go somewhere else tonight..."
Hearing this, Yinqi's eyes darkened and he was a little disappointed, "Your period is here again."
Wanyue listened and nodded. She had important things to do tonight and she must not let anyone stay in the room.
Yinqi thought to himself that it was really not the right time. He walked slowly to Wanyue's side, took Wanyue's hand, and softly comforted him: "Yue'er, it's getting late, so you should rest early."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying that, Yue'er nodded, and Yinqi paused for a while, then turned around and walked out of the room.
Grandma Wang at the door couldn't help but panic. The lady's menstruation was counting the days, and it was clear that it had not come yet.
Yinqi said to his personal servant, "Go to Zhou Gege's place in the west wing."
Grandma Wang opened the door and wanted to go in and ask the young lady about her menstrual period. Unexpectedly, the young lady said something to her.
"Mommy, you don't have to keep vigil tonight. Go back to the wing to rest early."
There was no strange color on the young lady's face, so Grandma Wang had no choice but to retreat and return to the penthouse with peace of mind.
Zhou Gege in the west wing was lonely and staring at the moon in the sky. When she heard the servant next to Lord Beile announcing that Lord Beile was coming, she got up quickly, straightened her clothes, walked to the door and greeted him with a smile.
It was almost midnight, and most of the lights in the mansion had been extinguished. Except for the boy who was keeping watch at night, his eyes were still open, and almost everyone else had gone to sleep to rest.
In Guar Jia Yinan's bedroom, Aunt Gui was lying on the edge of Guar Jia Yinan's bed and taking a nap. A female ghost with a ferocious face and blood flowing from her orifices walked towards her and raised her hand to poke her cheek.
Aunt Gui reluctantly raised her eyes. After a while, before the voice in her throat could be shouted out, she fainted.
The female ghost approached Guar Jiayinan who was already lying on the bed again, and woke her up in the same way. She fainted before she could cry out.
In the middle of the night, the shouting in Dongnuan Pavilion was so loud that it was heard even in the west wing.
"There's a ghost! There's a ghost! Someone come quickly!"
"There's a ghost!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Zhou Gege was sleeping in the west wing room when Master Beile's personal servant knocked on the door and said in a loud voice: "Master Beile, there is a ghost in the room of my first wife, Fujin, and I am asking you to come over!"
Both Yinqi and Zhou Gege in the room heard it. Yinqi immediately got up and got dressed, ignoring Zhou Gege, turned around and left.
After he left, Zhou Gege looked miserable and felt very complicated. In order to prevent her from being favored, this direct descendant Fujin even used this trick.
