"Everyone, take a look. This string of beads is called the Seven Treasures Beads String. It was given to me by Master Ci'en when I went to Huguo Temple with my grandfather ten years ago."
"In the past ten years, I have repaired bead strings twice in Fanjin Tower. The last time was six years ago. Master Jin, you were the one who repaired it last time, right?"
Master Jin had long wanted to explain, but Shen Zhao kept saying that he didn't find a suitable opportunity to speak.
When Su Qingyu asked about it, Master Jin quickly said, "Miss Su is right. I helped repair this string of beads six years ago."
"I feel ashamed to say it. My daughter likes this string of beads very much. I even asked Master Ci'en specifically. But Master Ci'en said that he would only make one string of seven-beaded beads and give it to Miss Su."
"Of course, this kind of thing can be strung by itself, and it's not the only one in the world. But have you seen that rope? It was consecrated by Master Ci'en."
Master Jin explained clearly, and the people around him suddenly realized what he said.
Su Qingyu looked at Shen Zhao coldly, "Do you understand? Also, I am considered Young Master Shen's elder now, so please speak respectfully to Young Master Shen."
Shen Zhao was stunned on the spot. This string belonged to Su Qingyu, but what about Cheng Rujin's string? Are there really identical beads?
Who was that person four years ago?
Su Qingyu ignored the dull Shen Zhao, walked through the crowd and left the Fanjin Building, heading for the food store.
At this time, the entrance of Su's Grain Store was crowded with people, but they were not going into Su's Grain Store, but people who could not fit in at Zhou's Grain Store next to them, so they all crowded here.
Su Qingyu glanced at the price listed at the door: one or two taels of silver per catty.
Nowadays, the average purchase price of grain merchants in South Zhili is one tael of silver. There are still losses and carriage fees on the road. Selling for one tael of silver can only save capital.
Su Qingyu got off the carriage and entered Su's Grain Store. The price listed at the door was one, two, and five cents of silver.
The two young men in the shop had their heads drooped and looked listless, and even shopkeeper Lin Sheng had a sad look on his face.
Seeing Su Qingyu coming, Lin Sheng hurriedly moved people to the back to talk.
"I read the letter from the eldest lady yesterday and have already sent someone to handle it. But I'm still a little worried. Can such a large amount of food really be sold?"
Lin Sheng did send people to buy grain from Zhou's Trading Company, but he was too scrupulous to ask them to buy more.
He originally planned to see Su Qingyu again today, but he didn't expect that she would come in person.
Su Qingyu knew that Lin Sheng had concerns, and she came here today just to give Lin Sheng reassurance.
"Shopkeeper Lin, to tell you the truth, this batch of grain has been ordered. You can rest assured that it will be shipped out after the New Year."
Lin Sheng was startled, "All set to go out? One and a half million stones?"
Su Qingyu nodded and said: "Yes, so you don't have to worry. I'm afraid it's not enough. Since there is food next door, it saves us a lot of trouble."
She took out another 300,000 taels of silver notes and handed it to Lin Sheng, "You find a familiar face and tell the public that he is here to discuss business with you. Then find a way to get him poached by the Zhou family and get these three people." One hundred thousand taels of silver were turned into food.”
Yesterday, she thought about it and felt that it was too slow to buy food at zero, so she planned to make a plan and buy all the food at once.
She originally planned to return the three hundred thousand taels to the Lin family. In this case, she should wait until the matter is settled.
Lin Sheng looked at the 300,000 taels of silver notes in his hand and thought to himself, will the eldest lady be cheated? So much food, what should I do if I can’t sell it? When next year's autumn harvest occurs and a large amount of grain enters the market, the grain in their hands will have to be sold at a loss.
But Su Qingyu is the boss, and he cannot question the boss's decision.
Then he collected the banknote and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, I will definitely handle it well."
"I guess they may not have two or three hundred thousand stones in their warehouse. If they don't have that much, you just pay the deposit and let them deliver it before the year."
"Let's find out more about where their grain is shipped from. If we find out, we will know clearly and tell the second young master. Just like what I said, we paid money to intercept all the grain that Zhou's Grain Company planned to transport to Beijing years ago."
"yes."
When Su Qingyu left, she took another deep look at Zhou's Grain Store, with a slight smile on her face.
She was in a good mood today. The more food the better at this time. Gu Ruoyun gave her a big gift.
After returning home, she planned to go to the study room in the outer courtyard. When passing by the flower hall, he saw Cheng Rujin's maid Yuxiu guarding the door of the flower hall.
In the flower hall, Shen Zhao grabbed Cheng Rujin's wrist and was questioning him sternly.
"You lied to me, didn't you? You speak."
Shen Zhao was hysterical, but Su Qingyu was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks and wondered, is this person crazy?
Could it be that Cheng Rujin cuckolded him?
Just as she was about to lift her feet again, Shen Zhao saw her and rushed out of the flower hall.
"Sister Qingyu, don't leave yet. I want to ask you something." Shen Zhao hurriedly stood beside Su Qingyu and directly held her arm.
Su Qingyu waved her arm, "What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Jade and Pearl hurriedly blocked Su Qingyu behind them. The two little girls looked at Shen Zhao warily.
Shen Zhao tried to get closer to Su Qingyu, "I have something to ask you. Have you ever been to the foot of the West Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing four years ago?"
Before Su Qingyu could reply, Cheng Rujin had already ran out.
He took Shen Zhao's arm and said, "Brother Shen Zhao, it's not what you think. That bead string... is indeed hers. But it was me who was there that day, you believe me."
Su Qingyu didn't know why and couldn't understand what the two were talking about.
Shen Zhao suddenly looked at Su Qingyu and asked, "Is the roast duck cooked by your grandmother's cook delicious?"
Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "How do you know?"
Hearing this, Shen Zhao threw away Cheng Rujin's arm and approached Su Qingyu again, "Sister Qingyu, it was you who saved me that year, and you also helped me carry my energy. Have you forgotten?"
"It was in that cave on the outskirts of Beijing that I fell unconscious. Do you remember me?"
Su Qingyu suddenly woke up. Four years ago in her previous life, her grandmother came to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to recuperate. She took Cheng Rujin there to visit.
Behind that village is the foot of the Western Mountain, and the two of them often go there to play hide-and-seek.
That day she accidentally walked to an abandoned trap and saw signs that the grass on the side had been crushed. Curious, she lay down on the side of the trap and looked inside, vaguely seeing a figure.
She was young and didn't know how to be afraid at all. She only wanted to go in and see how the people inside were doing.
Fortunately, she often played at the foot of the mountains in the suburbs of Beijing when she was a child, and her movements were flexible. Climbing down the edge, she found that a young man had fallen and fainted. No matter how much he shouted, he didn't respond.
She had read "The Essentials of the Golden Feed" before and knew that breathing and chest compression could save a person's life. She didn't think about anything at that time, she just wanted to save the person in front of her from dying.
She followed the instructions in the book to help him breathe, and kept talking to him while pressing his chest. She couldn't remember exactly what she said, but she seemed to have mentioned asking him to wake up quickly, and she took him to eat roast duck at her grandmother's house.
Later, when I saw that he was showing signs of waking up, I quickly climbed up and prepared to go to the village to find someone. I happened to meet the servant who was looking for him.
She pointed in the direction, ignored the matter and ran to find Cheng Rujin.
As soon as she found Cheng Rujin, she found that her bead string was gone. Cheng Rujin told her to rest while she went to find the beads.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cheng Rujin to help her find the beads.
Su Qingyu looked at Shen Zhao: "Are you the boy in the cave?"
