It was already late when the two returned to Baylor Mansion.
Yinqi followed Wanyue back to Xinuan Pavilion tacitly, with the intention of resting there tonight.
Not long after entering Xinuang Pavilion, Yinqi called the housekeeper Yan Qimin to come in, "Go to the warehouse to find two good calligraphy and paintings, and send them to Ama who is sitting next to Fujin."
Yan Qimin did not go out with Yinqi today, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned at this moment, "Master Beile, which Ama of Xiangfujin is this for?"
Yinqi glared at him, and Yan Qimin came back to his senses. Look at his brain. Master Beile was in Xinuan Pavilion at the moment, so naturally he gave it to Fujin's Amma on the side of Xinuan Pavilion. He immediately replied,
"I know this, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Yinqi winked at Nanny Wang, Yudan, and Yuzhi who were in the room, "It's time to get ready to wash up."
Aunt Wang, Yu Dan, and Yu Zhi were very sensible and retreated smoothly. Wanyue blinked: It's still early to go to bed, Lord Baylor is...
After a while, Grandma Wang and Yu Dan brought in the washing things for the two of them, and Grandma Wang's eyes moved to the two of them. Speaking of which, Master Beile and Miss Belle haven't rested together for a few days, and she is on duty tonight.
, you must take good care of the beauty of Miss and Lord Belle.
Yu Dan was quietly waiting for Wanyue to wash up. Aunt Wang was a little distracted and took care of Wu Beile to wash up. After the two of them washed up, Nanny Wang blew out a few candles in the room, and then she followed Yu Dan out with satisfaction.
The door of the house was closed.
In Wanyue's house, only the two lamps in the back room were still on, and there were two people, one sitting and one standing.
Yinqi seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face. He walked towards Wanyue. After a while, he unbuttoned Wanyue's cloak and put down the brocade tent. After an unknown amount of time, the two of them finally felt comfortable.
Sleep peacefully.
In Zhang Mansion, Zhang Baozhu had just laid down to rest for a while. His heart was pounding. He felt that he had forgotten to tell Yue'er about something today. He couldn't remember it for a moment. He turned around and looked at his wife, Tara, who was lying on his side.
, said: "I seem to have forgotten to tell Yue'er something today."
His wife, Tara, looked surprised and sighed: "If you forget, just forget it. It won't be too late to tell Yue'er when you remember it... Alas, my daughter is married, and there are fewer days to chat with us.
.”
Hearing this, Zhang Baozhu also sighed with emotion. He and his wife, Tala, had such a treasure as Yue'er. Now, apart from the servants, they were the only two people left in the house. It was indeed a bit lonely.
"Servant? By the way, I remembered it. Yue'er asked me to find someone to help her find out the origin of a maid. The person who inquired just returned to Beijing last week, and the real evidence he found was given to me. However, it's my birthday today.
I just forgot about it." Zhang Baozhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay, finally remembered what happened.
"It's good if you remember it. I'll give it to Yue'er when I have time. Master, it's getting late, go to sleep." He, Tara, felt a little sleepy. He yawned again and then closed his eyes to rest.
Two days later, in the Xinuang Pavilion of Baylor Mansion, Wanyue had just finished lunch when Yuzhi walked into the house and whispered to Wanyue: "My lord, the guard at the door just came to Xinuan Pavilion to report that there was a man at the door of the house who claimed to be
Shopkeeper Li’s people want to see you."
"Shopkeeper Li?" Wanyue was stunned. Could it be that she was the shopkeeper of the bank? Why did he come to Baylor Mansion to find her?
Wanyue looked at Yu Zhi. Women in the backyard were not allowed to have private meetings with foreign men, so she told her: "Go and call Aunt Wang and ask her to take Shopkeeper Li at the door to the flower hall in the front yard."
After hearing this, Yu Zhi nodded and glanced at Wanyue subconsciously. This Fujin seemed to still distrust her.
After Wanyue arrived at the flower hall, she sat on a chair in the flower hall. Grandma Wang walked in and stood beside the chair.
Shopkeeper Li came in and saw the grandma who had brought him in standing next to his employer. After bowing, he stopped talking and couldn't help but frown and glance at Grandma Wang.
Wanyue saw Shopkeeper Li looking at Grandma Wang a few times, and then said: "This is my grandma, she is trustworthy. If you have anything to do, feel free to tell her."
Shopkeeper Li raised his head and met Wanyue's scrutinizing eyes. He was a little hesitant. He didn't know how to speak, and he was pondering in his heart.
"The guys from Rishengchang Bank came to our Xingwangge Bank to cause trouble today. They broke a lot of things and even beat up a guy from our bank. They are so numerous and the ones who came to cause trouble were all big and rough. There are only a few of us.
I am afraid that together they are no match for them, so I came to Wubeile Mansion to discuss it with you, my boss."
Shopkeeper Li rubbed his heart as he spoke. If this matter was not handled well, it would be difficult for him to keep his position as shopkeeper. The whole family was still relying on the salary from the bank to live.
Wanyue looked at Shopkeeper Li in surprise, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What on earth is going on? How come the guys from Rishengchang Bank come to our bank to make trouble and beat people up for no reason?"
Shopkeeper Li stood respectfully opposite Wanyue, but his palms were already sweating. After pondering for a moment, he sighed and said slowly, "It seems that the guy who was beaten offended someone from their bank."
"It's unreasonable to do this kind of thing in broad daylight. Don't those people know that this is a bank opened by Brother Jiu and me?" Wanyue frowned. These people are really brave and dare to make trouble on Tai Sui's head.
.
"Brother Ninth was not allowed to give his name before... That's why those people dared to come and make trouble today." Shopkeeper Li replied respectfully again.
Wanyue glanced at him, sighed, turned her head and asked Grandma Wang: "Mammy, what time is it now?"
Grandma Wang thought for a while and realized that it was only three minutes before she went out with the young lady. From Xinuang Pavilion to the flower hall, plus the time spent in the flower hall, she pondered for a while and replied: "Miss, I guess it should be
Not even five moments later.”
Wanyue's heart moved and she told shopkeeper Li: "Come with me to Xingwangge Bank to have a look!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Grandma Wang and Shopkeeper Li quickly followed behind. Along the way, Wanyue had a sad look on her face. With the news that the bank was smashed,
I think the ninth brother will feel sad after hearing this.
When she arrived at the bank, Wanyue saw four official servants standing at the door of the bank with disdain on their faces, as if they had not yet entered the house to check.
Seeing someone coming, those few people all looked down and saw a young woman in rich clothes appearing at the door of the bank, followed by a grandma and shopkeeper Li of the bank. She guessed that she must be the owner of the bank.
Give her a lecture and money will be delivered to your door.
"This girl should be the owner of this bank, right?" the leader asked with his eyes shining brightly.
Wanyue walked into the shop of the bank and saw that the house was in a mess. She turned around and asked the officials at the door: "Have you checked these officials? Why are you still standing here and not arresting the troublemakers?"
"This boss wants us to do something, but we have to give him some benefits." One of the officials touched his chin and said.
Wanyue raised her eyebrows and looked at these audacious officials. This was in the capital. She immediately got angry and said, "Humph, under the emperor's feet, you dare to ask for money so blatantly, and you are not afraid of not being able to eat it."
Just go round and round. When you do things like this, I don’t know if it’s your own will or your superiors allow you to do so?”
"Oh, you little girl, you have such a bad tone. I'm afraid you've just come to do business. Don't you know that you have to respect our gentlemen when doing business here?" Another official said with a smile on his face, without concealing it.
Make people respectful.
"Three brothers, I think we should forget it." The last official's face showed no emotion at all, as if he intended to stop the other three officials from asking for extraneous money.
"You gentlemen, you are so lawless, do you know whose family she belongs to?" Grandma Wang couldn't stand it any longer, and pretended to go up and explain, so that these officials would shut up.
Wanyue raised her hand to signal Grandma Wang to stop talking.
Butler Li, who was beside Grandma Wang, didn't dare to say anything. In fact, these officials came to the bank a few days ago to ask for a nominal "protection fee". He gave it to calm the trouble. Unexpectedly, the bank was smashed today.
Several people even wanted 'protection money'.
Wanyue looked at the officials, and finally asked: "Which yamen are you from?"
"We are from the infantry commander's office." One of the officials put on an air of arrogance.
"Okay, then you guys come with me to the Yamen." After resurrecting her life, Wanyue doesn't want to ruin her business because of these bastards. She has to talk to her today no matter what. At worst, she will remove Ama's official position.
If the official position fails, then I will move it to Lord Baylor.
Those few people didn't expect to meet such a bold person. It would be bad if they went to the infantry commander's Yamen Dutong. The leader of the official replied lazily: "If you don't want to give it, then you won't force it. It's just that in the future
Our yamen will no longer keep your peace."
After finishing speaking, he said to the three people behind him, "Let's go..."
Wanyue didn't reply to the bad official, she just frowned. After the official left, she ordered the shop assistants and Shopkeeper Li to clean up the scattered abacus and account books.
, weights, etc., and rearrange them.
After everything was arranged and it was almost time to wake up, she quickly took Nanny Wang and took a carriage back to Baylor Mansion.
In the Xinuan Pavilion of Baylor Mansion, Yinqi turned his head and looked at the rooms in the Xinuan Pavilion. He did not find Yue'er, so he asked Yuzhi in the back room: "Where is your little master?"
Yuzhi turned her head and gave Yinqi a slight blessing, and replied: "For Lord Beile, the young master seems to have gone to the bank outside Zhengyang Gate."
Yinqi couldn't help but frown. She was quite concerned about her business with her ninth brother. It was almost the time to wake up, and she hadn't come back yet. The inner and outer city gates would be closed together. If the time was delayed, then
The only thing left was to wait for the guards guarding the city at Zhengyang Gate to temporarily open the city gate at midnight.
Yinqi couldn't help but feel aggrieved, so he had to walk back to the study angrily, wondering why Yue'er was as interested in doing business as his ninth brother.
As soon as he returned to the study, there were several sounds of horse hooves at the door of Baylor House.
