Chapter 822 Pay me all the debts I owe
Bai Heran stayed in the palace until a while, because there were too many delays back and forth, and lunch was only eaten before leaving the palace. She and Jun Lingxi accompanied Queen Chen to the table, and the scene was warm.
But when Jun Lingxi thought that there would be another Jun Changning in the palace soon, she couldn't feel comfortable. Even though she knew that this was a move by Bai Heran, she was not happy as a chess player.
When it comes to the matter of the emperor's announcement of the invitation of Jiang Yue to return to the court at the New Year banquet, accepting his godson, and then announcing the enthronement of the crown prince. Moreover, Empress Chen also clearly reassured Bai Heran that the position of the crown prince could only be the tenth.
For this reason, Bai Heran felt infinite sigh in his heart.
The emperor went through many troubles in order to recognize Jiang Yue. However, will the prince stand up push Jun Mulin into a more dangerous situation? How could she feel at ease? The closer Jun Mulin is to the throne, the more her heart will be.
After leaving the palace, Bai Heran told Ma Pingchuan not to rush back to the house, but to just drive the carriage around the capital. She has not returned to Beijing for half a year and has been running for more than ten days. Now she can finally come back. She really wants to feel the bustling and hustle and bustle of the city.
Yingchun smiled at her and said, "Miss used to be a distraction. She didn't expect that she would like to be a distraction when she went to Qingzhou. She really liked to be a distraction."
Bai Heran sighed softly, "It's not that you like the excitement, but that your nervous nerves have been tense for too long. People will especially want to integrate into the lives of the people and get more popular in order to restore their vitality."
Yingchun nodded, "Miss is right, let's go to East Street and you can also check out the Rouge Shop."
Bai Heran had no objection, she just wanted to watch the fun. As long as it was a bustling street, it would be the same wherever she went.
Ma Pingchuan's carriage rushed up the east of the capital. East Street was the direction where wealthy families gathered. East Street was the name of the largest street in the east of the capital. It was originally called Bai Heran, but I only remember the East Street that people often talk about.
Her rouge shop is located on East Street. Yingchun told her: "The income of the shop is quite considerable. Rouge is often in short supply. Very few can be sold in the shop, and most of them have been ordered. In the past two months, there are still other goods here to serve. No matter how expensive rouge is, they will buy it as long as there is a piece of goods and sell it to their local rich families. The third lady said that the shop must be recruited, otherwise if they continue like this, they will not finish eating or sleeping."
Bai Heran nodded, "Then bring people. Let the third lady do these things and choose people from Tianci Town. Since Rouge Shop is making money, can the Queen send it on time?"
"I gave it once, but the Queen did not ask for it. I said I had saved it all and sent it to the palace at the end of the year." Yingchun said, "I also think it's too cumbersome to send silver to the palace every month, but it's not good to send it once a year. What if there is a place for the Queen to use silver in the middle of the journey? So I think, Miss, you should give it to the Queen next time you give it to the Queen, it's better to give it once every three months, so that it's not bothering and not delaying the use of silver in the palace."
Bai Heran laughed, "No matter how much money the Rouge shop makes, the Queen will not lack that. The reason why she recognized that this shop was opened with me was just to make my shop better and more profitable. But your proposal is also good, I will tell her next time I enter the palace." She lifted the curtain of the car and put her chin on the window and looked out.
The closer you get to East Street, the more prosperous it is. After a while, the weather is warmer, and more people are coming out to walk. Ma Pingchuan's carriage has begun to slow down, not much faster than walking.
In fact, she didn't know whether Queen Chen was short of money. She once thought that Queen Chen was short of money, so she also valued the business of this rouge shop. But later she felt that she was wrong, because Jun Lingxi and the ninth prince and the tenth prince were both short of money and had no shortage of three children. How could she let the mother be short of money?
So after thinking about it, the rouge shop I valued before was really nothing to Queen Chen. Compared to silver, Queen Chen should pay more attention to the rouge sold inside. I guess the pills given to Queen Chen must be almost finished, and I have to take half of them with me next time I enter the palace.
The carriage was completely slowed down, and it was not much different from walking in a few steps. Bai Heran put down the curtain, leaned his head on the carriage, closed his eyes slightly and listened to the hustle and bustle of the city outside, and felt extremely at ease.
In the past six months, I have been traveling for four months and two months in Qingzhou to deal with the disaster. I have to stop for a moment. The string in my mind has been tense. Even when I saw the Ninth Prince outside the city, I didn’t feel much relaxed.
Now that I finally come back, although life is still full of blood and storms, it is better than escaping and protecting so many unarmed doctors and medicine children. It is through this industry that she realized that responsibility is more important than danger.
She has never been afraid of being attacked by the enemy. If there is no medical team in this industry, she can fight happily even if she is attacked by the enemy. However, with the medical team, she will exercise more protection duties. She has burdens and responsibilities on her shoulders, so she cannot only take care of herself, but also the safety of the medical team. Even so, she still lost an excellent doctor, which made her extremely sad.
The East Street was crowded with people, and the sound was heard. The carriage was slowly moving. When we arrived at the center of the street, Yingchun let out a light "huh" and listened again. Then he lifted the curtain and looked out.
There was a quarrel outside, and Bai Heran had heard it a long time ago, but she was not as anxious as Yingchun. She closed her eyes slightly and listened slowly until she heard her familiar name, which attracted her interest.
The quarrel came from a tea shop. Yingchun said to Ma Pingchuan: "Stop first and see what's wrong on the other end."
The carriage stopped, and Bai Heran heard someone outside say loudly: "We will never sell tea to your Li family again, but you can't leave today. If you want to leave, you have to pay off all the money you owe our tea house, otherwise we will report to the official."
Then a woman's voice: "If the silver is really owed by our family, after I went back and asked my family, I would definitely ask them to send the silver. Today I passed by here and bought some new tea, but I didn't bring much silver on it. It would be fine if the tea was not sold. Why do you stop me from letting go?"
A little maid next to him also spoke: "A few big men stop my lady. You are too disrespectful. How can those who open the door to do business? They keep saying that the Li family owes you money, what is the evidence? Can you give it?"
"Why can't I take it out?" The person who spoke before spoke again, "You Li family has been bullying others for a day or two. You have never paid any money when you go to our farm to get tea, and you haven't paid any money for almost a year. It's almost a year before. We are also a small business. The Li family owes more money than they earn this year. If we don't pay back the money, we have to drink the northwest wind."
The scene was quiet for a while, as if someone had taken out the account book from the store. The man said again: "Did you see, this is the account that your Li family has recorded in our village. It is clearly written for you! From last year to now, we owe a total of 430,000 taels of silver in our village. Miss Li, if you pay back the money today, we should sell goods and you can buy tea. But if you don't pay back the money, you don't think about leaving. Let's go directly to meet the official."
"How can you do this? What is my lady's identity? How can I go to the official with you?" The maid was a little anxious, "You go to the Li family's money owed you to Li's house. Whoever owes you, you want to ask for it? What do you want to stop my lady from leaving? Which family is not the master's mistress? Can an unmarried lady manage the family's accounting? She also gets the right person to ask for money!"
"Then we don't care. We only know that she is the legitimate lady of the Li family. If we want this money, we won't lose. As for what you said, go to the Li family to ask for it, I'm so embarrassed to say this? Your Li family is a high official, we can't see you. The Li family's door is too high, and we can't get through the gatekeeper's gate. Why do you want money? Do you think we haven't been there? You're just kicked out once. Nowadays, those who want to pay really become grandchildren, and those who owe money become masters. Are there any laws and laws of the Heavenly Li?"
Yingchun took her head back and said to Bai Heran: "It's the lady of the Li family, who is the mother's home of Concubine Li Xian, and she came to the mansion of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. She also went to the Baihua Club last time. Does the lady still have an impression of her?"
Bai Heran thought about it and nodded, "Some impression is that when Baihua can compete in making tea, she seems to have gotten the third place."
In my impression, Miss Li has been following Guo Tianxiang, but it seems that the two of them are not very compatible. Most of the time, Guo Tianxiang criticizes her. Because of Concubine Li Xian, the Li family generally gives her bad feelings, but she can't feel too disgusted with Li Yueru. Perhaps it is because the other party is gentle and even though he is with Guo Tianxiang, he does not have a relationship with Guo Tianxiang.
"It's her." Yingchun pointed outside, "Miss, she was stopped by someone at the entrance of the tea house, and she seemed to be in trouble."
Bai Heran turned his head to look, thinking in his mind that this seemed to be in trouble, but it was obvious that he was in trouble.
Li Yueru is very thin, even thinner than when she attended the Hundred Flowers Conference. Bai Heran guessed that she could lose ten pounds more than this, and she didn't know whether it was to lose weight deliberately or lose weight naturally.
Five or six guys in the tea shop surrounded Li Yueru, all of whom were very determined. The leader held a book in his hand and held it high in front of Li Yueru, and was shouting: "Ms. Li should be able to read, right? Take a look to see if I wronged you and whether you wronged your Li family. Look at the seal on this tent, is it your Li family seal?"
Li Yueru looked at the account book, her face turned bad in an instant, and her body shook twice, which scared the little maid to help her quickly.
