Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said, "Master Cao, you are so thoughtful. I believe the new silver note will be very popular. However, I have one more question. Where is the exchange point for this new silver note?"

Cao Youxin said: "Madam, the exchange points for the new silver notes are set up in various branches of money houses, and people can go there to exchange them at any time. In addition, we have also added mobile exchange points to facilitate the exchange of people in remote areas."

A trace of joy flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and he said, "Master Cao, you really care about the people. I have a request that you don't want to make, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Cao Youxin smiled slightly and said, "Madam, if you have any instructions, I will serve you wholeheartedly."

Lu Yundi said: "I would like to ask you to set up an exchange point in Jiaxing to facilitate the people here to exchange the new silver notes. After all, Jiaxing is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, with prosperous trade, and the new silver notes must have a big market here."

Cao Youxin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will arrange it right away. A new type of silver bill exchange point will be established in Jiaxing in the near future to provide convenient services for the people."

Lu Yundi nodded gently, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Master Cao, I feel relieved with your words. I believe that under your leadership, Jiaxing's trade will surely prosper even more."

Cao Youxin smiled slightly and said, "Madam, you are too kind. I am just trying my best to do something useful for the people of Jiaxing, and I feel very happy."

……

"Madam Zhenxing, I've been watching you for a long time, and I finally caught you!"

The man's rough voice sounded in Lu Yundi's ears, making Lu Yundi shiver.

Lu Yundi stood up suddenly, his eyes as cold as ice, staring coldly at the strange man in front of him.

She was wearing a lavender dress, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty. The man smiled at her, not seeming to be afraid.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Lu Yundi's voice was soft but full of power.

The man's eyes flickered, with a playful smile on his face. "Madam, why do you ask when you already know the answer? I am a small soldier in the bank, my name is Zhao Tiezhu. I am very lucky to meet you today."

Lu Yundi frowned. She knew that the man in front of her was not a small pawn of the bank, but a notorious lone ranger in the underworld. She said in a deep voice, "Zhao Tiezhu, what is your purpose?"

A sly look flashed across Zhao Tiezhu's eyes. "Madam, to be honest, I came here to look for something. And this thing is said to be related to you."

Lu Yundi's heart tightened. She knew what Zhao Tiezhu said was true. She sat down slowly and stared at Zhao Tiezhu: "What is it?"

Zhao Tiezhu mysteriously took out a yellowed cloth bag, opened it, and inside it was an ancient jade pendant. He said, "Madam, you should recognize this jade pendant, right?"

Lu Yundi's pupils shrank. She remembered that this jade pendant was worn by her when she was a child. She stared at Zhao Tiezhu closely, feeling uneasy.

"Where did this jade pendant come from?" Lu Yundi's voice trembled slightly.

Zhao Tiezhu smiled strangely: "Madam, I got this jade pendant from a mysterious person. He told me that this jade pendant is related to the rise and fall of Jiaxing Bank. If you can solve the secret, maybe you can help the bank."

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment. What Zhao Tiezhu said was true. This jade pendant was left by her father. The reason why the bank was able to rise in the past was closely related to her father.

She said slowly: "Zhao Tiezhu, do you know the story behind this jade pendant?"

Zhao Tiezhu shook his head, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Lu Yundi gently stroked the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes became profound, as if he had returned to that turbulent era.

"Back then, my father Lu Tianming opened a bank in Jiaxing. At that time, Jiaxing was prosperous and full of merchants. However, behind this prosperity, there were countless crises and challenges. With his intelligence and this jade pendant, my father successfully resolved one crisis after another."

She paused, then looked up at Zhao Tiezhu: "This jade pendant is actually a key. It can open a secret treasure house that contains my father's lifelong wisdom and wealth."

Zhao Tiezhu was stunned. He had never thought that this seemingly ordinary jade pendant could hide such a great secret.

"Then... Madam, where is this treasure house?" Zhao Tiezhu couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "This treasure house is in the basement of Jiaxing Money House, but it is not easy to find it."

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the distant sky, as if reminiscing about the past.

"Back then, in order to protect this secret, my father specially hired an expert to design a complex mechanism. No one could enter unless they had this jade pendant. After my father passed away, this secret became known to only me."

Zhao Tiezhu asked nervously: "Madam, how...how do we get into the treasure house?"

Lu Yundi turned his head and looked at Zhao Tiezhu, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"In fact, I have always been worried that this secret would be known to others and cause unnecessary trouble. However, I believe in you, Zhao Tiezhu. You are a trustworthy person, so I am willing to entrust this secret to you."

Zhao Tiezhu stood up excitedly and bowed deeply: "Madam, if I, Zhao Tiezhu, make even the slightest mistake, I will be struck by lightning!"

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, then turned back to his seat and began to explain in detail to Zhao Tiezhu the mechanism and opening method of the treasure house.

In the evening, they found the entrance to the treasure house. When the heavy stone door slowly opened, both of them held their breath, their eyes sparkling.

Inside the treasury, there was a dazzling array of golden treasures, but the most eye-catching were the books and scrolls that recorded Lu Tianming's lifelong wisdom and experience.

Lu Yundi walked to the bookshelf excitedly, touched the books, and tears welled up in his eyes.

……

Lu Yundi's eyes swept slowly across the shop, and in her eyes, all the dazzling array of goods seemed to have lost their luster.

Her eyes fell on the servant of the Jiang family, a young man with dark skin and humble eyes. He held a box of exquisite snacks in his hand and timidly handed it to Lu Yundi.

"Madam, this is the snack we specially prepared for you. Please accept it." The servant lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, took the snack box, and gently placed it on the table. There was a hint of tenderness in her eyes, which was pity for the servant.

"The people in your house are so polite." Lu Yundi said softly, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue in his voice.

The servant raised his head, trying to find a response from Lu Yundi, but found that her eyes had drifted away. He rolled his throat, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

"Madam, are you...are you okay?" the servant couldn't help but ask, with a hint of concern in his voice.

Lu Yundi retracted his gaze and smiled slightly, with a hint of sadness in his smile: "I'm fine, don't worry."
