The yard is not big, but the layout is very warm. The floor is paved with stone slabs, which are a little wet. It has obviously been cleaned recently.
There is a room sitting in front of it. The door is deliberately opened wide. When the curtain swings, you can vaguely see a counter inside.
Miss Huang took the lead and walked in with three people. Inside there was a man in his thirties with a slightly stout figure who was drinking tea. When he saw someone coming, he stood up quickly, smiled and said, "Guests, how can you
Are they coming?"
Gao Ning was a little strange, what kind of greeting was this?
Miss Huang looked calm and nodded directly: "Here, shopkeeper Yu, I have a business I want to discuss with you!"
Shopkeeper Yu said with a smile: "It's easy to talk, please, Da Fei, please come out and greet the guests!"
"coming!"
A soft voice sounded from behind the counter, followed by the sound of footsteps, and then in succession, a woman wearing something similar to a cheongsam, with a protruding front and a raised back, walked out.
Gao Ning only took one glance and knew that this woman was very familiar.
Young women in their thirties are at their most greedy.
The woman looks very fair, and although her facial features are pretty, they are incomparable to Miss Huang and Dr. Huang. She can only be regarded as an ordinary beauty.
She smiled as soon as she appeared, and her eyes like a pool of autumn water swept over Gao Ning and the four of them. She paused first on Miss Huang, then on Gao Ning's face, and then looked at Dr. Huang.
and Xiaohui.
Although her movements were natural and she didn't show anything, Gao Ning vaguely felt that she seemed to notice him.
Can you tell at a glance?
Is it that obvious?
Is it because my eyesight is too strong, or my light can no longer be concealed?
Gao Ning was a little smug and confused, but the young woman had already opened her mouth and said with a smile: "Dear guests, my name is Da Fei, I am the female shopkeeper here, and I am the same family as this damn ghost! Please come with me, we will have tea later!"
After saying that, she opened the curtain and made a gesture of invitation with a smile on her face.
Miss Huang took the lead and pulled Dr. Huang in, followed by Gao Ning and Xiaohui.
Several people walked through a long corridor, turned right, and entered the tea pavilion.
Only then did I realize that this courtyard was simple on the surface, but actually it contained a lot of things.
The teahouse alone is almost a hundred square meters, with various simple and elegant furnishings in an orderly manner. On the side is a small courtyard full of flowers, with rows of red and yellow flowers, exuding a charming atmosphere.
The aroma is pleasing to the eye.
When the young woman led a few people to the tea table, she didn't say much, she just extended her hand to lead them.
Then, she saw four people taking their seats one after another.
This move made the young woman a little dumbfounded. In her opinion, there must be priorities among these four people.
It's just that a few people have weird temperaments that she can't see through.
The reason why I didn't say anything was because I wanted to see what these people would do.
In her opinion, apart from anything else, Xiaohui could tell from her dress and her somewhat reserved expression that she was not a big shot and was more likely to be a servant.
Now that he was sitting so carelessly, the young woman was a little puzzled.
What is the relationship between these guys?
However, after all, she was well-informed and was a person in the scene. The surprise only caused her body to change slightly, and then she turned around and poured tea for all four of them.
"Guys, wait a minute, Lao Yu will be here soon!"
The young woman didn't ask about their identities, she explained with a smile, and stood beside them to keep them company.
At this time, a maid in a black dress walked in, whispered a few words in the young woman's ear, and then left without looking back.
The young woman's eyes paused at Miss Huang, and the smile on her face became even bigger: "Miss Huang is here this time, what kind of care do you have?"
Miss Huang raised her head: "Sister Qing, although we have never dealt with each other directly, we have met several times, so there is no need to be so polite."
"That's not possible. The visitor is a guest!"
"Let's stop being polite!" Miss Huang waved her hands and said seriously: "I am in urgent need of money now. Your tea house should know how much my Huang family's property is, so I won't explain more. Now I just ask
In one sentence, if I pledge all the property of the Huang family to you, how much money can I lend?"
The young woman was taken aback, and the formulaic smile on her face disappeared unconsciously.
"Girl, don't dare to joke about this! Although you are the apple of Mr. Huang's eye, you are a girl after all, and you can't make the decision on this kind of thing.
Besides, how can anyone put all their belongings on the table as soon as they come up? Aren't you just fooling around? Don't blame your sister for telling you, the tea house is not a good place, people can eat people here without spitting out their bones.
If you need money urgently, your sister can take you to the Yuan Family Bank in front of you to borrow a sum. With your Huang family's reputation in Fenglin Town, you don't need to mortgage it. Ten or twenty thousand taels of silver is just a matter of words!
"
Miss Huang smiled: "Thank you sister for thinking about me, but it's a pity that the matter is a bit serious and the bank can't solve it!"
"Is it so serious?" The young woman covered her mouth in surprise, and then said with some embarrassment: "What happened to your family?"
Miss Huang smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, the curtain opened, and shopkeeper Yu made a big calculation, and walked in quickly with two stacks of account books in his hand.
As soon as he came in, he smiled and said: "Miss Huang came just in time. The 10,000 taels of silver you and Miss Lu put in the tea house last time have been rolled around outside several times. Now I still have 6,300 taels in my hand."
Two, and there are nine thousand one hundred taels outside.
Give me another year, and I’ll definitely get you back 20,000 taels of silver!”
Shopkeeper Yu smiled and put the account book in his hand on the tea table: "If Miss Huang is interested, you can check the accounts. I will definitely satisfy you!"
Miss Huang shook her head, pushed the account book away, and said seriously: "Shopkeeper Yu, I came here to ask for something. I don't know how much money I can lend at most to the tea house with all the properties of my Huang family as collateral.
?”
Shopkeeper Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the young woman. The young woman shook her head lightly at first, and then nodded slightly.
Others couldn't understand it, but shopkeeper Yu instantly understood what the young woman meant.
So, he stopped talking nonsense, just pondered for a while, and then clapped his hands.
A maid in a black dress walked in from the other side. She didn't speak, she just bowed and stood there waiting for orders.
Shopkeeper Yu looked at Miss Huang and saw that her eyes were firm and showed no intention of flinching, so he turned around and ordered: "Go and get the property information from Huang Bancheng's house in Fenglin Town!"
The maid bowed, turned around and left.
Within three minutes, the maid came back with a small stack of bound books.
Shopkeeper Yu opened it without saying a word, and placed the large abacus flat on the table with his right hand.
He was reading with his left hand, doing abacus with his right hand, and kept counting in his mouth.
The young woman stepped forward diligently, refilled the tea for Gao Ning and the others, and occasionally exchanged a few words, intentionally or unintentionally wanting to ask Chu Gao Ning and others about their identities.
Everyone dealt with it casually, and about a quarter of an hour passed like this. Shopkeeper Yu suddenly let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Miss Huang, and turned the abacus around.
