Wen Qing looked at the surrounding restaurants, the Hongyun Building was undoubtedly the most magnificent, so he walked in.
The lobby on the first floor, which was originally lively, fell silent when she saw her go in, and then whispered and commented on her. Wen Qing pretended not to hear, and went directly to the second floor. The second floor was much cleaner. She chose a seat by the window and sat down. Xiao Er was stunned for a moment before running over to greet her.
"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?"
It's not that there are no women coming to the restaurant to eat, but it's the first time I've seen her dressed so strangely.
Wen Qing said calmly, "Pick up a few of your signature dishes and serve them up."
"Alright! Wait a minute, sir!"
As soon as Xiaoer left, an unexpected visitor came to the seat opposite her. It was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was dressed luxuriously. He looked rich or expensive. He asked with a smile, "Girl, where did you buy this umbrella?" ?”
The person who came was the tenth elder brother Yin, and because the ninth elder brother was interested in this umbrella, he volunteered to come over and ask.
Wen Qing glanced at him and said, "I did it myself."
"Ah? Then there is no place to buy it?" Yin looked disappointed, then rolled his eyes, and asked closer, "How about, girl, can you sell me the umbrella? You make a price, and I will never return it." Price!" He patted his chest and promised.
"Okay." Wen Qing readily agreed, then stretched out a finger and shook it in front of him.
"Cheer up! Girl, you are a real person. Such a strange umbrella only costs one tael of silver. I can't let you suffer. I will give you ten taels..."
"Ten thousand taels."
"You're welcome, just take it for you! Eh? Wait, what did you just say? Ten thousand taels?!" Yin suddenly jumped up from the stool, his eyes staring like copper bells, "Why don't you grab it? What kind of broken umbrella is worth ten thousand taels!"
Wen Qing looked at him in surprise, "No money? What kind of uncle are you if you don't have money! You will never bargain, cut!"
Yin's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he didn't know how to refute. At this time, another voice came from upstairs, "Old Ten, I am entertaining you! You are serious!" Ninth elder brother Yinzhen walked away with a cold face. Upstairs and down, talking while walking. Behind him was the eighth elder brother Yinhu with a gentle smile.
When Yin heard this, he glared at Wen Qing angrily, "Do you dare to entertain me?"
"Things are mine, and I have the freedom to set the price as I want. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it. How can you say that I'm entertaining you?" Wen Qing looked calm.
Yin was speechless, this is indeed the reason.
"Don't blame the girl, it's our brothers who are being rude." Yinhu smiled and came out to smooth things over. "It's just that my younger brother really likes this umbrella. I wonder if the girl can give it up?"
Wen Qing looked at him with a half-smile, "I want an umbrella, but I don't want to pay for it, so you just want me to give you the umbrella for nothing, right? You're really good at planning."
It's because Yinhu has a good ability to bear it, and she blushed when she said it. It is undeniable that he really meant it, but it was embarrassing to be said so bluntly.
"However, it's not impossible to send you off..."
As soon as Wen Qing changed his voice, Yinhu saw hope again, and he quickly asked, "Young lady, if you have any requests... you might as well just tell me." Thinking of the old Shi's words being slapped in the face just now, he silently put it on his lips again. The words were swallowed and changed into a more secure statement.
Wen Qing didn't care, and pointed out the window casually, "I'll give you the umbrella, and sell me the shop opposite."
"Presumptuous!" Yinzhen's face sank immediately, and he glared at her, "I thought she was so bold because she didn't know the identities of our brothers, so she knew and dared to be disrespectful to the Lord!"
The owner behind the Hongyun Building is Yinzhen, and the shop opposite the Hongyun Building is also owned by Yinzhen. Wen Qing sold the shop opposite to her, obviously knowing that the owners of the two places are the same person. Since they can all find out that the boss is the same person, how can they not know that the boss is the ninth elder brother? After all, Yinzhen did not hide her business affairs.
In other words, this woman knew that the princes standing in front of her were still so arrogant, how could Yinzhen not be angry? Born noble, he has never been looked down upon like this!
"That shop has been idle for half a year. Anyway, if you leave it idle, it's idle. Why don't you pass it on to me, the price is negotiable!" Wen Qing was not intimidated by him, and said with a smile.
Sure enough, this woman had already figured it out! But that's what makes it even more annoying!
Yinzhen laughed back angrily, "Okay! I will help you, one price, 100,000 taels!" This is definitely following the example of Wen Qing just now, she sold an umbrella for 10,000 taels, but his shop sold it for 100,000 taels. many. Yinzhen said this just out of anger at Wenqing, he was sure that Wenqing would not agree, this shop would only be worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and she would only spend one hundred thousand taels if her brain was kicked by a donkey!
"Deal! Tomorrow I will send the money to your residence."
Unexpectedly, Wen Qing agreed without hesitation! The three of Yinzhen were surprised, and Yin didn't dare to say anything, "Are you stupid? That shop is worth seven or eight thousand taels, and you bought it for one hundred thousand taels! Are you alright?"
Wen Qing smiled coolly, "I'm not stupid, I burned a lot of money!"
The three of them had nothing to say, and looked at Wen Qing like a fool.
In fact, Wen Qing is really not stupid, thinking that her money is easy to get? How do you get it and how do you send it back in the end, and you have to pay some interest by the way! Even if the other party is her cheap uncle, there is no exception!
Wen Qing got things done and enjoyed the food without stress. I have to say that the food in Hongyunlou is pretty good. But the three of Yinzhen walked away with an umbrella in their hands.
After leaving the Hongyun Building, Yin struggled for a long time and asked, "Ninth brother, did you really sell the shop to her? Wouldn't that make her proud?"
"I'm not stupid. Why didn't I accept a hundred thousand taels of silver for nothing? Let her be proud, we are the ones who take advantage."
"It makes sense, Brother Jiu is still the best!"
Yinhu was not as optimistic as the two of them, "This woman's origin is unknown, we'd better be cautious."
"Let someone check her details, I want to see if there is a heavenly king behind me who dares to make fun of our brothers!" Yinzhen said coldly.
The next day, Wen Qing took a box of 100,000 taels of silver bills and sent them to Yinzhen's mansion. Yinzhen didn't make things difficult, and readily gave her the deed, and sent someone to help her go to the government to transfer the account.
With the company of Brother Nine, everything went smoothly, and the formalities were completed very quickly. There is also a three-entry house behind this shop, now Wen Qing doesn't even need to find a place to live, and moved in on the same day.
A few days later, Wen Qing's small shop quietly opened. There was no sound of firecrackers, no sound of gongs and drums, and no one was invited. It just opened quietly.
The Ninth Brother's House soon received the news that the Eighth and Tenth Brothers were also present, and Yinzhen smiled, "Let's go, let's join in the fun."
Yinzhen's Hongyun Building is located in the busiest market in the capital, and the location of the shop opposite it is also very good. Therefore, even though Wen Qing's small shop opened in a low-key manner, it still attracted many people. But everyone who went in came out with a dark face after a while. As soon as the three of Yinzhen arrived, they saw one of them leaving with his sleeves thrown away, cursing as he walked, "Profitable businessman!"
"Yo, it looks like she's cheating not only the three of us, but also others!" Yin gloated.
Yinzhen gave him a white look, "You are quite proud of being tricked."
The three of them continued to walk forward, and when they saw the plaque hanging above the small shop, they were all shocked. Without him, Gein had three large characters written on it—death for money.
It's the first time I've seen someone so shameless, hanging money for death on the plaque in a blatant manner! I don't know whether to call her frank or treacherous. The three of them were shocked for a long time before they suddenly came back to their senses, and when they saw the bottom of the plaque, they were shocked again.
The store door is actually made of colored glaze! The two huge pieces of colored glaze, eight feet high and six feet wide, were smooth and flat, clear and transparent, never seen such a large piece of colored glaze in the palace! Just rushing towards these two glazed doors, the three of Yinzhen had to re-evaluate Wen Qing's weight.
I only saw it when I got closer, and there was a line of writing on each of the two glazed doors, which read on the left-buy or not, you have to pay a tael of silver for the entry fee! On the right side it reads - Poor ghosts without a thousand taels of silver in their purse are not allowed to enter!
No wonder so many people left with a black face, and they had to pay a tael of silver to enter the door. They really are profiteers! One tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for half a year, and she can only buy a chance to get started, isn't she a profiteer? !
"Interesting." Yinzhen became even more curious about this store. These two rules prevent most people from entering, but this further shows that the things here are unusual. Because those who meet these two rules must be rich or expensive, if these people go in and don't get what they expected, who can bear their anger
"Go, go in and have a look!"
The three of them pushed the door open, and there was a table on the side of the wall after entering the door. The woman in weird clothes was lying on the table and writing quickly. When she heard someone coming in, she said without raising her head, "Thanks for your patronage, Pay the money first."
Yinzhen sneered, "How many taels of silver will I owe you?" As he said, he raised his hand and threw ten taels of silver in front of her.
Wen Qing picked it up casually and threw it into the bamboo basket under the table, still without looking up, "The guest officer can look at it casually, you can only see but not touch everything, if you like something, come and pay for it."
This perfunctory attitude made Yinzhen's face darken, but Wen Qing didn't look at him at all, his face was white, he snorted coldly, turned and went into the shop. Yinhu and Yin had already gone in, and were amazed at the glazed cabinet inside.
The things in the money store are all placed in glass cabinets. If they want to see them, they can only look through the glass. Fortunately, her colored glaze is extremely transparent and does not affect the line of sight at all.
It's just that the things in the cabinet are so weird that none of them know them!
Yin secretly pulled Yinhu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Mynah, you read a lot and are more knowledgeable than me. Do you know what this is?" something asked.
Yinhu also replied in a low voice, "I don't know either."
How embarrassing! Their dignified prince elder brother received the best education since he was a child, he has dabbled in astronomy and geography, and even learned several foreign languages, but he doesn't know anything in this store!
There was also Yinzhen who didn't know him, but he was only shocked in his heart and didn't have the nerve to show it. It would be embarrassing to say it.
They wandered around and finally found someone they knew in the corner! Gemstones of various colors were randomly thrown in the corners, like stones on the side of the road, and several people were secretly throwing away their belongings.
"Boss, what's the price of these gems?" Rare things are more expensive. Western gems are still very popular in the Qing Dynasty, and they are priceless. Therefore, seeing such a large pile at first sight, Yinzhen's heart was moved, and he was already planning in his mind how to sell them to make a fortune.
Wen Qing raised her head and glanced at it, and saw that it was the three of them, but she didn't respond, "Oh, 100 taels a catty." She had no discernment, and chose the most useless thing in her shop.
"100 taels a catty?!" Several people were shocked, and the gems were sold by the catty! ! It's unheard of! And it's 100 taels of silver per catty! One is more than 100 taels, okay
"I've covered everything!" You bastard, this woman just came back from overseas, so she probably doesn't know the price of gems in Qing Dynasty. Yinzhen was ecstatic in his heart, he just felt that he had picked up a big deal again!
