Wearing an ivory white coat and azure pleated skirt, the girl who walked in was beautiful and calm.
"Grandma, uncle." Xin You calmly greeted the two of them.
The old lady was already annoyed with her granddaughter for being so noisy, and because of Duan Shaoqing's hidden words, she couldn't put on a loving look when she saw Xin You, and asked her to sit down with a straight face.
Xinyou sat down as instructed.
"This is the banknote that your uncle exchanged for yesterday after going to several banks. Including the ones kept at home, the total is three hundred thousand taels." The old lady pushed a box over.
Xin You opened the box directly in front of the two of them.
Although the founding of Daxia was only about twenty years ago, the bank's regulations were much more standardized than the chaos of the previous dynasty. Not to mention anything else, the minimum denomination of a bank note is five taels, and the maximum denomination is one thousand taels. This is a unified regulation for banks of all sizes.
It is said that this was the original proposal of the Queen.
The silver notes in this box were all of the highest denomination, and the three hundred thousand taels of silver notes filled the small box to the brim.
Xin You took out a stack of banknotes and looked at them casually.
At that time, the old lady deposited 300,000 taels of silver in several banks. For safety reasons, she did not exchange it into silver notes and kept them at home. It is still a unified rule of these banks that if you deposit more than 10,000 taels of silver, you can use a small engraved copper seal instead of a silver note. This kind of small seal is safer and more convenient to keep than paper banknotes.
Yesterday, Duan Shaoqing came back with a few small stamps in exchange for banknotes. Different banks have different ticket numbers. If you want to exchange it for real money, you have to take the banknote to the corresponding bank to get it.
"This is a small seal from Jinsheng Bank, one hundred thousand taels." Duan Shaoqing handed over a small seal with a cold face.
Xin You took it and took a closer look. The small copper seal was small and exquisite, with a complex pattern on the bottom and the word "Shi" engraved on it, which meant that this small seal could withdraw one hundred thousand taels of silver from the bank.
Regardless of whether it is a bank note or a small stamp, the bank recognizes the object but not the person.
Xinyou put the box containing the banknotes and Xiaozhang at hand.
This is 400,000 taels, which is still 200,000 taels short of what she wants.
The old lady's eyes became darker when she saw that she remained calm in the face of such a huge sum of money, as if she was waiting for them to continue.
This girl is not only ruthless to Shaoqing's house, but also has no consideration for her grandmother.
"I still have 50,000 taels of silver at home, and I've prepared it for you." The old lady frowned and said the word "Sichuan" in her brows, which could kill mosquitoes.
Xinyou smiled and said, "I brought a carriage and manpower. Can we let the carriage drive in later?"
Duan Shaoqing said coldly: "Okay."
He didn't want to attract other people's attention or attract Xiao Xiao.
"The remaining 150,000 taels—" Xin You said in a long tone.
Duan Shaoqing slapped a box in front of her: "Here are the property deeds of more than a dozen shops. The total value is much more than 150,000 taels."
Xin You opened the box and looked at it very carefully this time.
Whether there is any problem with the banknotes and small stamps, it is easy to know that there is a lot of moisture in the pavement.
After reading the house deeds one by one, Xin You took out one and said, "I passed by this wine shop, and there didn't seem to be a single customer."
Duan Shaoqing's tone was cold: "The success or failure of the business will come later. I did spend a lot of money to buy the store at that time."
Xin You thought for a while and put away the stack of house deeds: "Uncle is right, so be it. Where is the fifty thousand taels of cash?"
"It's packed in boxes and in the side room."
The old lady specially ordered the maid to guard the gate of Ruyi Hall today and not allow people from other courtyards to approach. The room where gold and silver is stored was temporarily packed. As the door opened, large square boxes filled the room. Full.
Xin You estimated that there were dozens of boxes.
Gold and silver are all weighed heavily. Dozens of boxes, not to mention three carriages, can't be loaded in one trip. Even if they can be packed in, the carriages and horses can't bear it.
"Xiaolian." Xinyou called Xiaolian.
Xiaolian understood, stepped forward and opened a box casually.
The light in the side room is not good, but as the box is opened, the white light shines dazzlingly.
Xiaolian gasped and couldn't help but look at Xin You.
She knew that six hundred thousand taels was a lot, but she couldn't imagine what a huge amount of money it was until she saw a box full of silver ingots.
This is just a box. If all 600,000 taels of silver are put into the box, how much will it contain?
The little maid's legs were weak and she was a little unsteady.
Duan Shaoqing looked annoyed: "Qingqing, can't we use other things to pay for it?"
Xin You pursed her lips, and her smile was a shadow of her former good-natured appearance: "It's not that I can't trust my uncle, but I've never seen so much cash before, and I can't help but open my eyes."
Duan Shaoqing took out these to stabilize her, so the possibility of fraud was extremely small. Of course, even if you speculate like this, the cash and house deeds will have to be counted and verified when you return to the bookstore.
Next, the three carriages waiting outside drove directly into Shaoqing's Mansion and stopped at the second gate.
Xin You asked Xiao Lian to follow the car and transport the silver ingots back to the east courtyard of Qingsong Bookstore.
The three carriages looked ordinary and did not attract any attention from the traffic flowing into the street. Only the guards responsible for carrying the boxes were surprised and secretly guessed what was in such a heavy box.
"I haven't been to Jinsheng Bank yet. Can uncle come with me?"
Duan Shaoqing nodded with a straight face: "Okay."
Xin You wrapped the box containing the banknotes and the box containing the house deeds in cloth, carried the small bundle and walked out and said: "By the way, uncle, I have been busy just now and haven't bothered to tell you. I asked a friend to wait. Help me carry my stuff later. He should be waiting in the foyer now."
Of course Duan Shaoqing knew that his niece couldn't trust him, so he snorted and said nothing, and then saw He Qingxiao drinking tea silently in the hall.
"Hey, Master He?" Duan Shaoqing was so shocked that his voice changed.
He Qingxiao put down the tea cup and stood up: "I was entrusted by Miss Kou to accompany her on some errands."
"Oh, oh——" Duan Shaoqing's mind was in confusion and he went to see Xin You.
Xin You raised the corners of her lips at Duan Shaoqing and handed the small bundle to He Qingxiao: "Can you please help me, Master He?"
He Qingxiao took it with a calm expression.
Miss Kou came to him to calm things down and promised to pay him, so he should carry things for Miss Kou.
Seeing that he accepted it so naturally, Duan Shaoqing couldn't calm down.
The niece asked He Qingxiao to carry her luggage for her!
What is their relationship?
No wonder the dead girl is so rampant, this couple of bitches!
Contempt flashed from Duan Shaoqing's eyes, but not from Xin You's.
In response, she only curled her lips.
She knew very well what people like Duan Shaoqing would think.
Will she care?
Pooh!
Xin You and Duan Shaoqing rode in the same carriage, He Qingxiao rode as usual, and the three of them arrived at Jinsheng Bank.
Jinsheng Bank is the largest bank in the capital and looks extraordinary.
He Qingxiao took a look and confirmed that it was a place he had never been before.
Miss Kou came to the bank with her uncle to discuss business?
He Qingxiao's heart moved when he thought of Xin You's three carriages that had clearly dragged heavy objects and left the Shaoqing Mansion.
