"What?"
Haogong Qianhe opened her eyes wide with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Do you want to pay back 1,400 taels of gold with interest?"
"I just borrowed it temporarily and paid it back in a few months! How come there is such a high interest rate?!"
If you borrow 1,000, you will have to pay back 1,400...
400 taels of gold is enough to buy a big house in Chang'an!
That’s not how loan sharks work!
Although she is not short of money as a Japanese princess, it does not mean that she is willing to be taken advantage of!
"It may seem like a few months to you, but Japan and the Tang Dynasty are far apart, and it is thousands of miles away from Chang'an."
The woman in green shirt said helplessly,
"If there is a slight mistake along the way, it may be delayed for a long time."
"So, to be on the safe side, it's better to sign the contract for one year. Of course, you can also repay it in advance then."
"Can I pay less interest if I pay off the loan early?" Haogong Qianhe frowned.
"cannot."
The woman in green shirt shook her head,
“But your credit rating with the bank will improve, making it easier to borrow money in the future.”
Chizuru Hiromiya: "@#￥%...&&@!!!"
Baga, you are such a jerk!
She almost cursed!
Haogong Qianhe suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a cold face:
"I won't borrow it anymore. Give me back my pearl necklace!"
"It's a mortgage, and the interest rate is so high. I can get a thousand taels of gold from a pawn shop in Chang'an!"
I'm so pissed off!
Today was the craziest day for her when she came to Datang. That day she was forced to kneel down and apologize by Xu Fenglei, but she was not so angry!
"Princess Qianhe said it wrong."
The girl in green shirt saw Haogong Qianhe's ugly face, but she didn't take it seriously and still smiled lightly and said,
"Your pearl necklace is certainly of the highest quality, but if you really want to say how much it is worth... I can't actually say for sure."
"There are not many pawnshops in Chang'an. Those shopkeepers have a strong smell of copper and they only have a special liking for gold, silver and bronze wares. I bet that if your pearl necklace comes to them, let alone mortgage it, it will be sold. It can’t be sold for a hundred taels of gold.”
"If it's a mortgage, it will be even less...that is, our big shopkeeper is rare for such items, so he is willing to accept this mortgage."
"Don't be angry... Our business is like this. If it were another business, not only would it be irregular, but the interest rate would be higher! Have you ever heard of nine outs and thirteen returns? Compared with that, our bank is really So kind..."
Haogong Qianhe's expression changed several times.
The woman in green shirt was not in a hurry, and took a sip of tea by the way. She was already confident.
After a few breaths.
"……All right."
Haomiya Chizuru finally clenched her fists and said with a gloomy face,
"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't make enough money, I really wouldn't want to come to this black-hearted bank like yours!"
"Withdraw money and give it to me!"
The woman in green shirt pursed her lips and smiled.
"Our bank is not evil. We open porridge shacks every now and then to give alms to the poor. We are a well-known charity bank, and our boss is a great philanthropist."
She turned around to get the contract and ink pad, and said,
"Princess Qianhe, don't speak out of anger. Since you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy horses and give them away, the benefits that noble person can bring to you must far exceed this thousand taels of gold! Am I guessing right?"
“Think of it as a profitable investment and you won’t struggle.”
"Here, here's the contract. If you think it's okay, just sign your name and take your fingerprints."
Haomiya Qianhe glanced at the contract and her expression softened slightly.
I have to say that the woman in front of me is very understanding.
As long as she can reach the level of the True Dragon Emperor, what does this one thousand four hundred taels of gold mean?
Swish.
She signed her name casually and put her thumbprint on it.
A loan contract came into effect, and from now on, she was burdened with a debt of one thousand four hundred taels of gold.
This taste... is actually not very pleasant.
"alright!"
The woman in green shirt gathered up the contract and said with a smile,
"I will arrange for someone to go to the warehouse to collect the money. Do you want to pick it up yourself or have it delivered to your door?"
"I suggest you deliver it to your door. After all, one thousand taels of gold is very heavy. You, a girl, can't carry it, and it's not safe to walk around in the market. It's better to have it delivered by our dedicated person. What do you think?"
Haomiya Qianhe nodded.
"Okay, then please send it to Chang'an Post Office."
She stood up and said,
"At that time, I will arrange for someone to receive it."
The woman in green shirt nodded repeatedly.
"It can be delivered in the afternoon."
She also stood up and said,
"Shall I see you off?"
Chizuru Hiromiya turned around and rolled her eyes.
"No need! Farewell!"
After saying these five words, she walked out of the bank without even looking back.
"Walk slowly!"
The woman in green shirt stopped and waved. It wasn't until Qianhe Haomiya's back disappeared that she closed her arms and a smile instantly bloomed on her face!
"Four hundred taels of gold!"
She was overjoyed, clasped her fingers and said,
"Let me calculate how much commission I can get..."
…
Noon.
Xu Guogong Mansion.
"Master, do you think this is appropriate for my disciple to do?"
Li Qingquan shook the pearl necklace in his hand and said with a smile.
Uh-huh.
Xu Fenglei took the pearl necklace and twisted it in his hands.
"Good stuff!"
He praised,
"Such a round pearl is rare. The most rare thing is that each pearl is almost the same size. It is difficult to get together!"
"Haogong Qianhe is really willing to give up. He is even willing to mortgage this... Qingquan, you did a good job. I am very satisfied with this business and made a huge profit! Hahaha..."
In ancient times, unlike later generations, pearls could be cultivated artificially.
These 24 pearls must have been collected by the pearl divers with great effort, and it may even have taken several generations of talent!
"I heard her say that she wanted to buy a bloody horse as a gift to a noble person."
Li Qingquan suddenly showed joy when she received the compliment, and she said again,
"I don't know which noble person in Chang'an City needs her to give such an expensive gift."
Xu Fenglei shrugged.
"Who else could it be? Your father."
He responded,
"This little Japanese kid has always wanted to see your father but couldn't, so he spent a lot of money to buy a BMW and wanted to use heavy gifts to see the emperor."
Li Qingquan was stunned.
"Father..."
She frowned slightly and said,
"Why does she insist on meeting my father? And she doesn't hesitate to spend money on it?"
"There must be a conspiracy behind this, Master!"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"What kind of plot could I have? I just want to be your baby mother."
He joked,
"You've seen her too. She has a pretty little hooves and a charming energy about her."
"If I really see your dad and make a fuss, your dad may not be able to withstand it. Then it will be a fierce battle...right? Hahaha..."
Li Qingquan's face darkened.
"Shameless slut!"
she spat,
"I asked why I was so angry when I saw her just now. It turned out that she had such a plan!"
"Master, we must not let her see my father! Otherwise..."
Xu Fenglei tilted his head.
"Don't be so pessimistic. What if your father can withstand the test?"
He grinned and said,
"Believe in your father."
Li Qingquan curled his lips.
"Father may be able to withstand other things, but test him with this... haha."
She said,
"I guess hanging."
Obviously, she has no confidence in Li Shimin.
After all, as a biological daughter, she is quite familiar with her father's dark history.
Xu Fenglei twisted the pearl for a while and then returned it to Li Qingquan.
"Keep it well, after all, it is the customer's collateral."
He enjoined,
"The bank's rules cannot be broken. This is the way to operate in the long run."
Li Qingquan nodded and put the necklace back into the jade box.
"Master, do you think I should take the lead and buy that bloody BMW?"
She was still a little worried and said,
"My father is a horse lover. If I really give him this big gift, he will definitely give it a chance."
"I think... I can give you one thousand two hundred taels of gold to cut off the Hu!"
Xu Fenglei looked a little strange.
"Are you crazy? That bloody horse is not worth the money at all!"
He said with a speechless face,
"One thousand two hundred taels, enough to buy two horses!"
"Hey...you don't have to worry. Your father has gone to Renzhi Palace to escape the summer heat. He doesn't have time to accept it, let alone a horse. Even if it's a country, he doesn't have time to accept it."
Li Qingquan nodded slightly.
"That's true..."
She murmured twice and said,
"Haogong Qianhe said that she will stay in Chang'an for another ten days and a half at most, so she can't force herself to wait for my father."
"It seems that this horse is going to fall into her own hands. Let's see how she rides it back to Japan, hahahaha..."
As he spoke, Li Qingquan actually laughed maliciously.
"You girl, you seem to be very hostile to this Japanese princess?"
Xu Fenglei said in surprise,
"I've never seen such a tone from you..."
In his heart, Li Qingquan had always been a well-behaved, intelligent, and generous person, but today he seemed a little bit sarcastic.
"That's natural!"
Li Qingquan looked like it was natural, raised his head and said,
"Master hates Japan, so naturally I hate Japan too!"
"The Japanese little hoof wants to seduce my father, so he's not a good person! That's why he's even more annoying!"
Of course, there was another meaning she didn't say.
Women are very sensitive, especially towards women whose appearance may pose a threat to them, and they will naturally be a little hostile. In addition, the other party is also a princess of a country...
Then it will be easier to compare in your mind.
To be honest, even if he hated this Japanese little hooves, Li Qingquan had to admit that the other party's appearance was also outstanding and not inferior to hers.
If you don’t have an advantage in this aspect, you will have to step on it in other aspects!
Want to be my baby mom? There are no doors!
"Okay, okay...don't worry about her affairs."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said with a smile,
"I will take care of it, you go back."
"It's a pity that you didn't go to Renzhi Palace to escape the summer with your brothers and sisters this time. When the business of the bank is less, I will apply for you and let you go to Dengzhou to inspect the ships and have some fun."
"It's a coastal city, very beautiful."
Li Qingquan shrugged.
"The bank's business will only get busier and busier, and there will never be a shortage."
She said with a meaningless look,
"I'm used to this kind of busyness, and I don't have the time to go out for fun... I'll consider traveling when I can't do anything anymore in the future."
Xu Fenglei gave a thumbs up.
This is a strong woman who only cares about her career!
I admire you!
"Disciple, please retire."
Li Qingquan bowed briefly, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and stared at Xu Fenglei.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Fenglei touched his face and said doubtfully,
"Is there something on my face?"
"No." Li Qingquan shook his head and said, "The disciple just remembered that Haogong Qianhe mentioned you just now, saying that he has a deep friendship with you, and he is still half of your disciple!"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
"What...this little hoof is talking nonsense!"
He couldn't laugh or cry,
"I just taught her how to make two terrible dishes, raw fish and clams... You've heard of it, right? Chen Deng died from eating this."
"I'm digging holes for her at every turn! You're such a bastard!"
"You don't believe it, do you?"
Li Qingquan stroked his smooth chin.
"Of course I don't believe it, but..."
She said seriously,
"She is very charming, so Master must be careful not to get in her way."
"If she fails to plot against my father and comes to plot against you, then you will be in danger... You may not be able to withstand the test that my father cannot withstand..."
Xu Fenglei: "???"
Before he could react, Li Qingquan covered his mouth, chuckled, and ran away as if running away.
"You little girl...you need to be beaten!"
Xu Fenglei almost took off his shoes and threw them over!
Can't I stand this test? Still dangerous? Who are you looking down on?
…
Chang'an Posthouse.
Haomiya Qianhe opened the red lacquered wooden box in front of her. The yellow gold ingots inside made her feel a little better.
Snap!
She closed the box and said in a deep voice:
"Inugami-kun, is Mr. Hu really unwilling to lower the price? He won't even lower the price by even one tael?"
Inugami Sanri nodded bitterly.
"Princess Qianhe, that profiteer said that the whole of Chang'an now has such a bloody horse, and he won't give up a cent, whether he likes it or not."
He gritted his teeth and said,
"My subordinate wanted to work harder, but he actually said that I was noisy and the price would be raised!"
"I dare not say any more, I can only come back..."
"Hmph!" Haogong Qianhe snorted coldly and said displeasedly, "I have already found out clearly that this sweaty horse only costs six to seven hundred taels of gold on weekdays. This profiteer is obviously trying to raise the price! How disgusting!"
She originally thought that she could get one, two hundred taels, or even fifty taels!
Fifty taels of gold would save her from having to worry about the cost of traveling home.
Not giving up a penny, that is to say... after she bought the horse, she was penniless again!
What to do on the return trip? Dig wild vegetables to eat?
"That's right! It's so hateful!"
Dog Shang Sanri Shu scolded,
"If we were in Japan, I would destroy such a profiteer's shop and parade him through the streets!"
After a pause, he lowered his voice and said:
"Princess, why don't you send someone to steal the bloody horse?"
Haomiya Chizuru glanced at him, as if looking at an idiot.
"You want to take the stolen things and give them as gifts?"
She asked rhetorically,
"You're not talking nonsense, are you? Inugami-kun."
Quan Shang San Ri Shu: "..."
He also realized that he had spoken nonsense, so he wisely closed his mouth and did not dare to say any more.
Haomiya Qianhe slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"There is a saying in the Central Plains... If you don't want to let go of your children, you can't catch the wolf."
She opened her eyes, waved her hand and said,
"Take these one thousand taels of gold and go and bring back that bloody BMW!"
"Tomorrow, I will visit Duke Xu's Mansion again!"
"Ha Yi! I'll take care of it now!" Quan Shang San Ri Chu responded hurriedly.
