When Jiang Li returned to the city, he went to Datong Bank first, and exchanged some silver notes with the remaining jewels.
As the property of the Hua family, the Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and influential, especially in the nearby areas. In this generation, the banknotes issued can completely replace large amounts of physical gold and silver, and are widely praised.
Although she was a little worried that it would not be enough money to build a Qixiufang, Jiang Li did not lack the small money for shopping, and she made this trip just to "say hello".
Although Huamanlou has high martial arts skills, the Hua family is still a businessman.
Martial arts families have the way people from the rivers and lakes communicate, and so do businessmen.
When visiting each other or doing business, it is natural to say hello in advance, especially since Jiang Li is here to buy land.
Jiang Li had just arrived in Yangzhou, so he went to visit immediately, which was hasty and even more disrespectful. It would be more appropriate to convey the news of his upcoming visit through Datong Bank, and let the host have time to prepare.
In addition to making money, Datong Bank can also be the eyes and ears of the Hua family and a place to inquire about news.
Therefore, Jiang Li walked here and said a few words, and they naturally understood.
After changing the bank notes, Jiang Li went to the jewelry store again.
The rain had stopped for a long time, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased. The two of them walked on the street, which inevitably attracted some attention.
Bixiu thought for a while, pointed to a shop in front of her, and said, "Why don't you put on a fence to cover it up?"
Mi Li refers to the bamboo hat, but it is mostly used by women to cover up their appearance.
At the door of a cloth shop in front, several fences of different colors are hung.
Jiang Li replied: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome."
For so long, Jiang Li has never brought these things, because others wronged him, so why bother
She waved her hand and said lightly, "Come here."
This sentence was said to the six-door policeman who followed him.
They were thrown off by Jing Wuming before, and now they also took advantage of this to catch up.
Jiang Li had previously ordered them not to bother her, her martial arts did not need the protection of these people at all. However, the person in charge of the six doors said that if something happened to the county lord in the local area and they were held accountable, they would be picked off. If the county lord didn't like it, they would just follow secretly and never come out to disturb.
Of course, to Jiang Li, this kind of secrecy is no different from following without any cover up and following openly.
Because they are used from time to time, Jiang Li does not make things difficult for them.
Like this will.
The leader of the six doors rushed out wittily and bowed to Jiang Li with fists in his hands.
Jiang Li said: "Those two unruly ones, let's get rid of them."
From outside the city to the inside of the city, it's almost the same. If you have any ideas, don't implement them.
It's not very polite for her to do it herself, and then go to Hua's house to visit after getting murderous.
The six doors were held, they didn't do anything, they closed it for a few days at most to teach them a lesson, so as to prevent these guys from idleness and disturbing the people.
"yes."
Jing Wuming habitually threw a dime of silver over to deal with the aftermath.
After so long, he finally learned not to draw his sword to solve the problem immediately.
Now, no one dares to disturb him openly, and at most they can sneak a glance.
Jiang Li doesn't care about appearance because he is born to look at it.
You can also buy sword scabbards in weapons shops, but the blacksmith shop is outside the city, so you can go in on the road to have a look. All the weapons sold are ordinary weapons, which can't be picked up, and the only kind of sword scabbards are made of leather.
Therefore, the target is placed on the jewelry store.
The proprietress of the jewelry shop was very enthusiastic. When the two arrived, they had already received news that a big person was coming. At that time, there was no one else in the shop, and there were many jewelry on the table. Xiuxin introduced various styles that are popular today, while watching their faces.
Bi Xiuxin has always appeared on camera without makeup, as a half-outsider, she never dresses up.
But as a woman, she is still interested in these things. Although she doesn't buy them, she listens very seriously.
Jiang Li went straight to the target.
The jewelry was placed neatly, but the box was obviously not valued very much, it was only piled on the other side, mostly as an extra.
Because most of the jewelry is small and exquisite, although the boxes placed here are exquisite, some of them are even called exquisite workmanship. They have achieved the ultimate in small parts. There is even a picture carved on a small box, but even a pair of daggers cannot fit in it. .
Jiang Li asked: "Is there a bigger gift box that can hold weapons?"
The proprietress was taken aback for a moment.
Probably did not expect that Jiang Li came to visit the jewelry store to "buy a box and return the pearl".
She thought for a while and said, "How old is the county magistrate?"
After hearing the answer, I went to the back and took out two.
Jiang Li asked Bi Xiuxin, "What do you like?"
Bi Xiuxin smiled slightly.
Jiang Li followed her gaze and landed on a hairpin.
At first glance, this hairpin is only average among all the ingenuity, just like a peacock with its tail spread out, it is quite gorgeous, but what is interesting is that, upon closer inspection, this hairpin is hollow. If you decorate it with something inside, and sharpen the end, it can be used as a self-defense weapon.
She nodded to Bi Xiuxin.
The proprietress came back and brought two boxes.
She said: "It was originally equipped with a guqin, I wonder if it is acceptable?"
Jiang Li took a look and found that the sword could fit in, but the problem was that it was a bit too big.
In a hurry, he probably couldn't choose a better one, Jiang Li nodded, pointed to the pile of hairpins, and said, "Let's combine them together." Buying boxes alone won't make much money.
Jing Wuming took the initiative to carry the box for Jiang Li, and then went to Hua's house.
So much time is enough for the Hua family to react.
Before Jiang Li arrived, they had already made preparations.
After Jiang Li handed over the gift of visiting, he soon met Hua Manlou's father—Hua Ruling.
With a smile on his face, Hua Ruling greeted him with big strides. As soon as he came, he expressed his kindness.
As Hua Manlou's father, he is not young, but he doesn't look old. He seems to be upright in his prime, with a bit of elegance on his face. It's not surprising that he can raise a son like Hua Manlou.
"Speaking of which, about Qitong, I have to thank the county magistrate." With Hua Manlou's eyes, he once asked Jiang Li, and Jiang Li gave him a treatment plan. Now that things are improving, they are naturally happy, and other things, There is also some friendship. Coupled with Jiang Li's official status, it is enough for Hua Ruling to treat each other warmly.
After finishing speaking, he said to Bi Xiu: "Jiu admired Fairy Bi's reputation, seeing her now, she is really extraordinary." In the end, even Jing Wuming was praised a few times. Acting really makes people feel like spring breeze.
Jiang Li said: "There is no need to be so polite between friends."
Hua Ruling smiled and said, "It's the extreme."
After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Hua Ruling asked, "Major Jiang, would you like to meet Qitong?"
Huamanlou had already arrived home by this time. Jiang Li was delayed at sea for a while, and even made a detour, but he arrived directly.
However, because his eyes are in the stage of treatment, the family is quite worried about him. With Huamanlou's compassion, he does not live in Baihualou, but at home. As the doctor who treated Hua Manlou's eyes, Jiang Li only gave a plan before leaving. Although he felt that it worked, Hua Ruling wanted her to see it again.
Jiang Li nodded and said, "Alright."
Seeing this, Hua Ruling ordered his servants to lead the way, and took the opportunity to leave.
As the head of the family, he is not idle.
Jiang Li followed the servants of the Hua family, wandering around in the big garden, and then saw Hua Manlou.
He was sitting under a tree at this time, and there was a stone table in front of him. There was a jug of wine and four wine glasses on the stone table, and he looked extremely relaxed.
There are two leaves on the table, one withered yellow and one fresh green, the withered yellow one covers the rim of a wine glass, and the new green one stays in Huamanlou's palm with peace of mind.
His serene expression and the ubiquitous peaceful atmosphere made everyone who entered here feel a kind of peace from the heart. He is really a good man in troubled times. However, the white cloth covering the eyes made people want to see what kind of bright eyes such a person would have.
Hua Manlou is blind, not only himself, but I believe too many people feel sorry for it.
"Looking" in Jiang Li's direction, Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, Young Master Jing, Miss Bi."
Normal blind people, because they cannot see with their eyes and rely more on their ears, often turn their heads unconsciously to further rely on their hearing. But every time Hua Manlou spoke, he was directly facing the other party. If he hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes, it would be hard for people to imagine that he was actually blind.
Hua Manlou still couldn't feel Jiang Li's existence, but he could indeed feel Bi Xiuxin and Jing Wuming. The former had met several times, and although it was the first time for the latter, he had already gotten the news.
"Jiang Li, farewell." Jiang Li formally introduced his name in front of Hua Manlou.
"Xiuxin has seen Mr. Hua." Bi Xiuxin bowed slightly, and didn't save this step because Huamanlou couldn't see her.
Even Jing Wuming rarely answered three words.
"Playboy."
Hua Manlou is not a cautious person, so he said calmly, "Jiang Li."
He knew that this meant that Jiang Li regarded him as a friend, and if Lu Xiaofeng knew about it, he would definitely regret not being here now.
Lu Xiaofeng had complained to Hua Manlou before that Miss Jiang was too "cold".
Jiang Li said, "Aren't you going to invite us to sit down?"
Hua Manlou said: "Not only are you invited to sit down, but also to drink."
He picked up the jug, shook it slightly, and said, "Lu Xiaofeng has been thinking about the best apricot blossom wine for a long time."
After all, he leisurely filled a glass for everyone present.
Jiang Li sat down first.
Bi Xiuxin and Jing Wuming followed closely and took their seats.
Jiang Li didn't drink alcohol before, but now, even though he is not addicted to alcohol, he still drinks in restaurants from time to time.
She raised her glass cheerfully, and clinked with the three of them one by one.
The wine entered the throat, with a slight spicy feeling.
Bi Xiuxin coughed lightly, it seemed that she was not quite used to it.
On the other hand, Jing Wuming had no expression on his face, and drank it all in one gulp, and he seemed to hold a good amount of alcohol.
Xinghua wine refers to Fenjiu, which is named after it is produced in Xinghua village, but it is not brewed from apricot blossoms, so it is naturally stronger than fruit wine.
"It seems that this wine is still reserved for Lu Xiaofeng." Jiang Li put down his glass and said.
Hua Manlou said: "He's a drunkard, he smells it, and he's going to run away soon."
The author has something to say: I'm sorry for the late update, I was a little stuck, I was thinking about confession, and I didn't care about typing.
I'm going to bed.
I think it may fail, so I will save Xiaohonghua first.
If it fails, and the little red flower is gone, I will definitely vomit blood.
