Qin Xiu [comprehensive martial arts + sword three]

Seeing her frowning, Hua Ruling secretly thought it was bad, and was about to explain, when she praised her for being a good manager earlier, she laughed.

"The young master is talking about the mature horses in the market, right? Most of the horses there are draft horses for ordinary people, and they can also plow the land, pull carts and so on. How can they compare with the horses like the young master? What? Let’s not talk about the young master’s horses, although they are still underage, they are not much younger than grown-up horses, and let’s talk about the appearance of the horses, any horse picked here can be used as an official horse, and the price is natural Those work horses are incomparable, so the price is really not much, and when we take it back to raise and resell it, we will definitely make a profit."

The steward could also see that the young man surnamed Long in front of him had a good relationship with his young master, so he was a little blunt in his speech, lest people think that their young master charged a high price because of his friendship. Actually, although the price is a little bit High, but not much higher. When the foal becomes a mature horse, the selling price will only double or not less—the Hua family is a businessman, so naturally they will not trade at a loss.

Seeing what he said, Long Wan looked at Hua Ruling again. Hua Ruling nodded and smiled and said, "It's exactly what Manager Zhou said. I think the price is a bit low. If my brother thinks it's inappropriate, why don't you pay me this price?" Do you want to add more?"

As soon as he heard that he wanted to increase the price, Long Wan quickly stopped her and said, "No, that's fine."

After counting the number and grade of the horses, Zhou Guanshi drafted a sales contract, on which all the prices of the horses were written, a total of 5 taels of silver. This price was higher than what Long Wan expected. But also within the accepted range.

After reading the contract, Long Wan made a request.

"Exchange silver for gold?"

Long Wan nodded: "Well, can I?"

Since it is for making money, Long Wan naturally wants to maximize the benefits, 5 taels of silver is only 5000 gold to her, but if you give her 50 taels of gold, you can exchange it for [-] taels of silver later.

Hua Ruling nodded: "Of course it is possible." The Hua family has their own bank, and there is no handling fee for exchanging silver. Although he thinks that silver is easier to spend than gold, most of the money in the market is silver, but Long Wan wanted gold, so naturally he would not refuse.

"However, if you want gold, I only have silver notes on me right now, my brother has to go to the bank with me."

"Okay." Long Wan was not afraid that Hua Ruling would cheat her, so she signed the contract generously, gave Hua Ruling the key to the warehouse, took her own contract, and went to the bank with him .

The Hua family's bank is called Datong Bank, and it has strong strength. It has branches all over Daqi, and it is no exception in the capital. Hua Ruling, as the young master of the Hua family, his face is his passport. Someone notified the shopkeeper to welcome him to the inner courtyard.

When the big shopkeeper heard that he was here to withdraw money, such a big bank would naturally be able to get 5000 taels of gold, so he immediately went to prepare it himself.

They waited in the bank for half a stick of incense, and the big shopkeeper came in with a few assistants carrying two boxes. Dazzling.

Seeing the gold, Hua Ruling remembered one thing, and turned to talk to Long Wan: "5000 taels of gold is not light, brother, can you think about how to take it back?"

This Long Wan really didn't think about it, 5000 taels of gold is at least five hundred catties, plus the box used to hold it, it weighs more, and the weight of the green chinchilla may not be able to carry it, and from the bank If you go out with such two suitcases, it is easy to be targeted and cause trouble.

She thought for a while, then said: "I have to trouble Brother Hua to prepare a carriage for me."

"There's no need to bother." Hua Ruling turned her head and ordered people to prepare the carriage, and continued to talk to Long Wan: "I don't worry about you bringing these back alone. If you don't mind my brother, why don't you let me go?" Give you a ride?"

Naturally, Long Wan would not say that she disliked it, and thanked her with a smile, "Then I will trouble Brother Hua."

"Where?" Hua Ruling looked serious, but she was secretly happy in her heart. She helped deliver the things by herself, and when the time came, the other party would have to buy him a cup of tea or something, so that he would have the opportunity to be a guest at Miss Long's house, right?

The carriage was soon ready, and it stopped directly outside the back door of the bank. The staff in the bank carried the box up, and the carriage was driven by a coachman recruited by the shopkeeper. Long Wan and Hua Ruling led the way on horseback. Go towards Buyi Lane.

Hua Ruling had been here before in Buyi Lane. For this exam, Hua Ruling had arrived in the capital half a year ago. He had studied in Mingde Academy not far from Buyi Lane. He had many classmates. He just lived in Buyi Lane, and one of them who was close to him once invited him to his home as a guest.

At the entrance of the alley, Hua Ruling found that Long Wan did not take them along the main road of the alley, but took a detour around and took a remote path.

This small road is secluded, with winding roads, the ground is not very flat, and the carriage can barely pass, but it is better than the secluded road, with courtyard walls of various houses on both sides, and a few people who opened the back door also closed the door , all the way, I can't even meet a person.

The carriage stopped at the back door of Long's house. Long Wan dismounted and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened.

Every time Long Wan went out alone, Xiaotao would wait in the yard for her girl to come back, and when she heard the knock on the door, she would quickly go to open the door, but when the door opened, the person outside was not her lady, but a strange woman. The familiar young master was stunned.

Long Wan winked at her, and whispered to Xiao Tao in her original voice, "Xiao Tao is me." Then she raised her voice and lowered her voice, "Your girl's younger brother, Long Ge."

When Xiaotao heard her original voice, she immediately recognized that it was her girl. Seeing that she said that she was her junior brother "Brother Long", there were two big men behind her, and one of them was also her own. Young Master Hua, although he didn't understand what her girl was going to do, he changed his words cleverly, "So it's the young master, please come in."

Long Wan was very satisfied with Xiao Tao's cleverness, she glanced at her approvingly, and asked her pretendingly: "Go and tell your girl, there is a guest."

Xiaotao wondered: "My girl hasn't come home yet after going out today, young master, you wait first, I'll go find my mother." After speaking, she ran inside, to inform her parents and collude with her confession .

Long Wan didn't stop her, she just turned around and greeted Hua Ruling, "Brother Hua is bothering me all the way, I have to stay and have a cup of tea before leaving."

Hua Ruling just watched a scene played by the two of them, and she wanted to laugh in her heart, but she didn't want to show it. She nodded in agreement with Long Wan's intention, and went to help carry the box into the door with the coachman.

Long Wan wanted to help, but Hua Ruling refused on the grounds that "two people are enough", so she could only look at the carriage and guide them to carry the box into the main hall.

When one of the boxes was carried in, Uncle Xu and his wife came out. Xiao Tao sent them a message, and when they saw Long Wan, they naturally called the young master.

"Aunt Xu, there are visitors at home, please prepare some tea and snacks."

Aunt Xu responded, and asked her again: "Do you want to save food?"

It was almost noon at this time, since I invited someone to stay for tea, and naturally I was not short of a meal, Long Wan asked her: "Young Master Hua is from the south of the Yangtze River, can Aunt Xu know how to cook the dishes there? "

Aunt Xu hesitated and said, "I know how to make West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dongpo Meat, Longjing Shrimp, etc. It's just not so authentic."

"How much is a wish, are there enough ingredients in the kitchen?"

"Today, I happened to meet someone who was selling fresh fish and shrimp, so I bought them back. I can make these dishes." Because Long Wan loves to eat, and is willing to spend money, Aunt Xu also buys whatever is good for her. .

And at home, they always eat what Long Wan eats, so the ingredients prepared here are definitely enough to entertain the guests, and it's good for the three of them to cook something else.

Just at this time, Hua Ruling finished moving the boxes and came out of the main hall, Long Wan sent Aunt Xu to do some work, and went up to meet her.

"All the things are put in the main hall, and you will have to put them away later." Hua Ruling reminded her worriedly.

Long Wan accepted his kindness with a smile, took Hua Ruling to the well in the yard to get water to wash her hands, and gave some silver to the driver who helped the coachman, and asked Uncle Xu to send him away, while inviting Hua Ruling back to the main hall for a drink Tea.

Long Wan actually doesn't like tea very much, and the tea leaves prepared at home are also very ordinary, but Hua Ruling can drink it like a tribute. In addition, he has a deep understanding of tea, so he told a lot of interesting things about tea , but it attracted Long Wan's interest in tea, thinking about where to buy some good tea next time and try it out.

Seeing that she seemed interested, Hua Ruling said, "My family also has a tea business. I'll send you some new tea this year for you to try."

"That's so funny."

"No problem, just a little tea, it's a good thing to be liked by my virtuous brother."

Long Wan felt that his words were a bit weird, and didn't know how to answer them, so she lowered her head and drank tea, not answering his words.

Not long after, Aunt Xu came to report that the meal was ready, so Long Wan invited Hua Ruling to sit down for the meal.

Hua Ruling ate a meal at Long Wan's house. Although Aunt Xu's Jiangnan cuisine was not authentic, it tasted good. With Long Wan's company, he was really happy to eat this meal. bloomed.

But on the surface, Hua Ruling still pretended to be a little regretful because she didn't see "Dragon Girl". Since Long Wan wanted to pretend to be someone else, he naturally wouldn't expose her.

——Otherwise, there will be no chance to be so close next time.

"My virtuous brother and I hit it off right away. I don't know when my virtuous brother will be free. I would like to invite my virtuous brother to the humble house for a reunion." Before leaving, Hua Ruling said this to Long Wan.

After so many encounters, Long Wan's affection for Hua Ruling has also increased a lot, and she feels that it is good to make friends with such a person, so she smiled and replied: "I am not very busy on weekdays, when will Brother Hua come?" Just send someone to send a letter, and I will pay a visit.”

"So good."

You see, this is not even a chance to meet next time.
