Chapter 182: Floating Life for Half a Day

Yun'er naturally knew that what the lady was talking about was her and Yu Ren. It was because of the engagement with Yang Ju that Zhao Rui knew that she liked Yu Ren in her heart, but she still chose to leave with Yang Ju.

"Miss, you don't have to be too sad. I think Mr. Yu has never forgotten you. Now he is settled. Why not turn around and find someone to go to their house to explore the tone of his elders."

Zhao Rui sighed. "You are usually very smart, why are you stupid now? Not to mention that there are no serious elders in Guard Yu's family, even if there are, he is not a person who follows the wishes of his elders. Now, I don't have that extravagant hope. I just hope that he can find a wife Ruyi as soon as possible. I can see it from time to time and I will be content in my life."

Speaking of this, Zhao Rui suddenly asked Yun'er, "You said, will he really come to see me?"

"I will definitely do it. The lady came to Songjiang to find him at the risk of her life and gave him this strange plan. Now that the merits are complete, he will naturally remember the lady's kindness."

Zhao Rui shook her head, "I don't want him to remember my kindness. As long as he has me in his heart, I will be content in my life."

When Yu Ren, who was outside the door, felt a little excited when he heard this, he finally couldn't help it anymore, and coughed lightly and walked into the money shop.

There was no one in the shop at this time, probably because the guys had gone to have dinner. There were only Zhao Rui and Yun'er.

When the master and servant heard someone come in, they stopped talking.

"Does your little husband want to repay the money?" Yun'er habitually walked out of the counter and came up. Zhao Rui lowered her head and continued to look at her account book.

Yu Ren gently took off the hat from his head.

When Yun'er saw that the person coming was Yu Ren, she couldn't help but scream, "Ah!"

When Zhao Rui heard Yun'er's shouting, she also raised her head. Seeing that the person standing in front of her was the one she had been looking forward to, she couldn't help but be stunned. The sudden sense of happiness made Zhao Rui feel at a loss for a moment. But her face suddenly turned red again. Thinking of the conversation she had just talked with Yun'er, I don't know if he had heard it.

Although she had no scruples when talking about these words with Yun'er, it was because Yun'er had been following her since she was a child, just like her own sisters, even a little bit more than her own sisters. Zhao Rui never concealed her inner thoughts. But if Yu Ren listened to these words...

When Zhao Rui thought of this, she felt her heart beating "pull, plop". She hoped that Yu Ren would hear their words, but she was afraid that he would hear them.

After a long time, Zhao Rui calmed down a little and said softly, "When will you come?"

Yu Ren didn't want Zhao Rui to be too embarrassed, so he said, "I just got off the horse. It's really a bit difficult to find here!"

Zhao Rui recovered a little and turned to ask Yun'er to pour tea, but saw that Yun'er, a ghost girl, had long been running away.

Zhao Rui cursed Yun'er, while pouring tea for Yu Ren himself.

Yu Ren took the tea from Zhao Rui's hand and felt her hands were cold and trembling gently. Yu Ren couldn't help but hold her hand gently.

"Are you cold? Why are your hands so cold? Now the weather is getting cold, you have to wear more clothes, but don't catch a cold, and you're sick like last time!"

Zhao Rui's hand was suddenly held by Yu Ren, and her face turned red. She quickly looked up and looked outside. Fortunately, there were no passers-by outside at this time. So Zhao Rui let Yu Ren hold her little hand, feeling the rare warmth and happiness, until a cough came from outside.

When Zhao Rui heard the sound, she quickly pulled her hand back and took a step back with a blushing face.

Zhaotou looked at the door and it turned out that a regular customer had come to exchange for the money. Zhao Rui quickly poured tea and shouted inward, "Yun'er? Yun'er? This girl is becoming more and more dissatisfied. She doesn't know where she is lazy, and she doesn't even greet the guests."

When Yun'er heard the call, she hurriedly ran out of the inner room.

"Miss, call me."

Zhao Rui pretended to be angry, "Where did you go? Have you seen the guests come?"

Yun'er looked up and saw that there was indeed a regular customer in the store, so she quickly came forward to greet him and exchanged the silver for the customer. The customer was very tactful. After exchanging the silver, she left immediately, not long-winded.

"Miss, please accompany Mr. Yu to the room! I asked Afu to come to see the shop, and I will cook for Mr. Yu."

"Okay!" Zhao Rui said, stood up and led Yu Ren into the back room.

The back room of the Zhao family's money shop is a small courtyard, which is obviously much larger than the front. Zhao Rui led Yu Ren to the room where she lived and poured tea for Yu Ren again. The fire in the room was very warm.

Zhao Rui walked up, helped Yu Ren take off her robe and hang it to the door. Her movements were so natural, as if a virtuous wife was greeting the returned man.

"Where did you come from?"

"There are too many things so I really have no time to do it. I just got it done yesterday, so I came to find you quickly. I was afraid that you would leave, so I rode a horse from Suzhou toward this place yesterday afternoon. I didn't disappoint me at all."

Zhao Rui angrily glanced at Yu Ren, "Why can't you take care of yourself as such an adult? Now it's so cold now, how can you still ride a horse! Just ride it! You shouldn't be rushing to the night! In the middle of winter, the cold outside is the heaviest, so it's easy to get sick."

Listening to Zhao Rui's concerning reproach, Yu Ren smiled and lay down on a short couch in the room. "I'm afraid you will scold me for breaking the appointment! Besides, I'm also anxious to see if the ban at home has been lifted."

"It's been a long time ago. After you left for only two days, Mr. Huang Qian took the people away. However, after this trouble, your family suffered a lot of losses. I heard that Mr. Xu San took the opportunity to build a weaving house again, but it was not as big as before, but there were also one or two thousand looms! Most of the weavers used were old weavers in your family." Zhao Rui had been staying in Songjiang City for a while, and inquired about Yu Ren's affairs more and more. He also knew that he was almost confiscated by the government this time because he was exposed by Xu San. Therefore, he was particularly concerned about the Xu family.

"It doesn't matter, there are many businesses in the world! I can't dominate it either, I only do it. I believe Cao An's ability, and I believe that he will soon restore our business.

When it comes to business, I am a little surprised. Why aren’t there anyone using the treasure banknotes issued by the Ming government now? But there are still people who want to buy the banknotes printed in small shops like you?" Yu Ren was sitting outside just now, and the customer used the silver to exchange banknotes.

Zhao Rui burst out laughing, "You don't know this! It turns out that our omniscient Mr. Yu also has something you don't know! Let me tell you! In fact, the reason is very simple. Because the government's treasure banknotes cannot be exchanged for silver at will; even if they can be exchanged, they often cannot wait for the number, and the time will be reduced. So now there are no one using them.

The banknotes printed by our family can be exchanged at any time. Our family has branches in Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Songjiang and Hangzhou. If you think it is too silver and too bulky, you can exchange them into banknotes in our store and then go to other stores to exchange them for cash.

In addition, our store also prints some banknotes by ourselves. But we never print them randomly. We print as much as the silver there is in the store. When the customer takes the banknotes to exchange for the silver, it can be done at any time. You can also use the banknotes sent from one place to exchange the silver in the store in another place. This is very convenient."

When Yu Ren heard this, he was shocked. Isn’t this the silver standard in modern national currencies?

It seems that the Zhao family is really hidden! There is such an economically stingy person. Yu Ren couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Who thought about this method? Such a benefit?"

Zhao Rui pointed at herself proudly, "It's this lady."

"But, how do you make money?" Yu Ren asked again.

"It's not difficult. When customers exchange silver, we draw a certain amount of silver as the amount they exchanged, as the water pump."

When Yu Ren heard this, he realized that their money shops were far from the function and operation of later banks.

"Do you lend money from abroad?"

"I also borrow! It's just not many, usually I'm a regular customer, and the loan period is only three or five months."

When Yu Ren heard this, a whim suddenly came up. He really wanted to cooperate with Zhao Rui to build a commercial bank similar to that of modern society.
