Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 340 Decent
Mr. Wang rushed to the Privy Council, talked to the doorman Lao Qin, and gave him some money.

When Lao Qin heard that the man was looking for his son, he knew it would be bad if he didn't inform him, so he went on the trip for him.

When Young Master Wang heard that his father was looking for him, he didn't know what had happened at home, so he quickly ran out of the Privy Council and met Mr. Wang.

Wang Yuanwai pulled him aside and whispered the whole story. Wang Yeran said blankly, "Just borrow it. What's the problem?"

Wang Yuanwai's mouth twitched twice, and he said, "But she lost all her money."

"how do you know?"

"Cough!" Mr. Wang coughed lightly embarrassedly.

Of course he knew, he had been watching.

Mr. Wang originally thought that if Miss Xue lost a lot of money and wanted to pay off her debts, she might be willing to marry him.

Young Master Wang understood as soon as he saw his father's expression. Young Master Wang said angrily, "Dad, what can I say about you? You even betrayed my immediate boss?"

Wang Yuanwai said aggrievedly: "She only said that she was a female official waiting to leave the palace. How could I know that she worked in the Privy Council?"

Wang Yuanwai looked at the soldiers standing in front of the door, shrank his neck, and lowered his voice and said:

"Besides, I didn't cheat her out of money. I even lent her money. The business I mentioned can indeed make money, but the prerequisite is that she has to know how to do business."

Young Master Wang glared and said, "She has lived in the palace since she was a child, and now she is out here to take care of things in the machine room. She knows nothing about business, so what kind of business can she start?
Wang Yuanwai shrank his neck and muttered, "Anyway, I didn't cheat her out of money. Whether she can do business or not, whether she wants to do business or not, that's her own business. Why should I care? I'm not her father."

"You are my father, you are my living father. You are cheating your son like this. Does my mother in the underworld know about this?"

"How do you talk to your father?"

Wang Yuanwai glared and said, "Didn't I come here to discuss this with you?"

Young Master Wang thought for a moment, then held out his hand and said, "Where's the IOU? Give it to me, and I'll pay it back to her. And then I'll apologize to her. But don't take the money, or I won't be able to stay in the Chanzifang anymore."

Wang Yuanwai glared and said, "Stupid! You come forward? If you come forward, doesn't that mean you have found out the weakness of others?

You know your boss owes your father money, you know your boss was married to your father, you know your boss..."

Wang lowered his voice and whispered, "You have a secret relationship with Yang, will you suffer the consequences in the future?"

When Young Master Wang heard this, he really thought it was true and couldn't help asking, "Dad, what do you mean?"

Wang Yuanwai said proudly: "Your father has certainly found a way, we cannot refuse the money we lent her.

No, that would offend her. I tell you, this woman is the most petty, back then your mother..."

"Alright, alright, just tell me what to do. When my mother was alive, I never saw you say anything bad about her."

Wang Yuanwai coughed awkwardly, whispered a few words to Wang Yeran, and then said proudly:
"We need to make her make up for the loss and earn some money, so that there will be no future troubles."

Young Master Wang felt a little pained after hearing this: "Dad, can't we just stop paying her debt? According to your plan, we have to help her make up for her own losses. That's not all, we have to let her make a small profit?"

Young Master Wang rolled his eyes and calculated, "Including the principal and the borrowed money, she lost a total of about 2,000 strings of cash, right?

Hiss~, being able to pay off a penny without getting back the original capital, this is also a skill!"

Wang Yuanwai said: "That's not true. She did make some money, but... that money was used to pay for storage and transportation fees."

Young Master Wang said, "So, we can't let her lose money, we have to make a small profit... Even if we can only make a hundred strings of cash, we have to give her two thousand one hundred strings of cash for free?"

"Planning! Son, you need to open up your mind! Now that we have the maritime trade business of Yang Zhangfang, we can't be so concerned about the small profits. Giving her 2,600 strings of cash won't mean that her work has been in vain."

Young Master Wang said, "Two thousand six hundred strings of cash. You have never been so generous to me."

Wang Yuanwai said, "How can she have so much? She should pay me back six hundred strings of cash, including the principal and interest. Her principal was fifteen hundred, and she only made five hundred strings of cash."

Young Master Wang shook his head and said, "It's up to you. Then... I'll do as you say. You have to make arrangements on your end."

Mr. Wang agreed, called the sedan chair over, and after he sat on it, he ordered them to carry him to Longshan Warehouse as soon as possible.

……

When it was almost time for lunch, Xue Bingxin was planning to go to the "Yu Zi Fang" to find Yuye and Yuchan to go out for lunch together, when she saw Wang Yeran sitting in the big signing room, talking to Xiao Luo, Fan Jiang and others.

"Otherwise, this rich man is so eccentric. This man is said to be a big businessman from Jiangning. He has a huge fortune and is the best to play with.

He lost the pit competition, and now he is buying up peach pits, olive pits, and walnut pits in Longshan City. The price he offers is even higher than that of fruits.

When Xue Bingxin heard this, she stopped immediately as if her feet had taken root, with her ears perked up.

Xiao Luo exclaimed: "How can this person be so willing to sacrifice himself? Just to fight someone?"

"Yes, he was playing a kernel-picking game with someone a few days ago, and the other person had thirty-six apricot kernel carvings.

The thirty-six apricot kernels were naturally carved by famous artists, but the rarest thing about them is that they are of average size.

Even if you measure it with a ruler, it is exactly the same size, not a millimeter off.

This made the big merchant look inferior. He bought a lot of fruit cores just to select 108 fruit cores of exactly the same size, and then asked a famous master to carve them. He vowed to beat his opponent and spent a lot of money for this. "Xiao Luo shook his head again and again: "These rich people are really unreasonable."

Mr. Fan laughed and said, "Luo Shuling doesn't know this, right? His family is very wealthy. For us, this is a huge sum of money, but for him, it is probably just the cost of a meal.

They don’t lack this little money, but they want to fight for their reputation and face. It is said that during the Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong and Wang Kai competed for wealth...”

When Young Master Wang saw Xue Zuoya leaving in a flash, he knew that his mission was accomplished. He no longer had time to listen to Mr. Fan's stories.

Young Master Wang said, "I'm hungry. Come on, I'm the host today. Let's go eat something first."

When Xiao Luo heard this, he smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go, the roasted sheep's head at the east end of the road is pretty good..."

Mr. Fan followed the two men, still chattering: "Wang Kai has a coral tree, which is worth a fortune. He showed it off to Shi Chong, but Shi Chong smiled arrogantly and smashed it with his iron ruyi..."

Xue Bingxin was afraid that the prodigal businessman that Young Master Wang mentioned had already bought up enough fruit cores and left, so she asked the Privy Council for a fast horse on the pretext of urgent official business, and rode at full speed to Longshan Warehouse.

The fruits...are all rotten, but she still has the cores.

She had a lot of fruits piled up in her Longshan Warehouse, including walnuts, peaches and olives, and there was also a pile at the dock.

If this is really as Wang Yeran said, wouldn't it be possible to recover a lot of losses?
When Xue Bingxin arrived in Longshan City, she remembered that she had not asked Wang Yeran where the merchant bought the goods, and she immediately broke out in a sweat.

At this time, two people came towards them happily.

One of them said, "Hey! Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more. There are people who buy good fruit and bad fruit at the same price, and the price they offer is quite high..."

Xue Bingxin's eyes lit up and she quickly stopped the man to ask.

The man was also a very enthusiastic person. After giving some pointers, and seeing that Xue Bingxin was still a little confused, he simply showed her the way and led her there.

There was indeed a big businessman in Longshan Warehouse who was buying fruits, and there was a pile of good and rotten fruits next to him.

Xue Bingxin hurried forward to inquire. The big businessman was worried because the seasonal fruits were about to go off the market and he could not purchase enough fruit cores.

Hearing that Xue Bingxin had a large amount of rotten fruits, the big businessman was very generous and took them all at a flat price of 2,600 strings of cash.

Xue Bingxin did not dare to bargain, and quickly led the big businessman's men to the warehouse to give all the fruits to the big businessman, and then led his men to the dock.

The dock was filled with the aroma of fruit wine, and the pile of fruit was still there, with the ground soaked with juice.

Xue Bingxin covered her nose while making the handover, collected the money and went to Wang's house, and gave a total of 600 strings of cash, which had accumulated interest over the past few days, to Mr. Wang.

Only after she got her IOU back did Xue Bingxin feel at ease.

"Miss Xue is amazing. She really knows how to do business. She has made a lot of money. Congratulations." Wang Yuanwai handed over the IOU and congratulated her repeatedly.

Xue Bingxin said calmly: "This is my first time doing business. I am still a layman and don't know much about it. Look, I only made more than 500 strings of cash in total, not much, not much."

After coming out of Wang's house and walking in Longshan City holding the horse's reins, Xue Bingxin only felt that the sun was shining and the weather was gentle. It was great that the world was full of kindness towards her!
"No!" Xue Bingxin suddenly stopped.

Ever since she heard the news, she has been anxious, afraid of missing this opportunity, so she has not had time to think about it.

When I calmed down, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Mr. Wang didn’t know that she knew Wang Yeran was his son, but Xue Bingxin knew it, because she had seen the father and son talk.

Thinking about today's actions...

Xue Bingxin suddenly turned around and walked towards Longshan Warehouse again.

Longshan Warehouse, the stall that was specially set up to wait for Xue Bingxin to come, started to close down after she left.

The "big businessman" arranged by Wang Yuanwai was shouting, "Hurry up, load these fruit baskets onto the truck and transport them to the suburbs to dump them. This is attracting too many flies.

Hurry up, get some water and flush the floor, the soup is sticky all over our feet..."

"Ah!" Xue Bingxin was hiding in the dark and saw this scene. Her pretty face suddenly turned red like a hen laying eggs.

Manager Yang said that he would handle the matter. Is this...his solution?

Xue Bingxin touched the "official exchange notes" worth two thousand officials in her arms and felt a burning sensation on her chest.

Not only did he help me pay off my debt, he also returned my principal.

No...not only that, he also made me earn 500 strings of cash for free.

And...you also gave me shares for free?
He...why is he so nice to me?

Xue Bingxin bit her lips tightly, feeling extremely confused for a moment.

It was not until the horse poked its head over and nudged her butt that Xue Bingxin came to her senses. She hurriedly picked up the horse and sneaked out of Longshan City like a thief.

In Longshan City, the mayor's servants were banging gongs, conveying the news issued by the Lin'an government:

"The results of today's exam will be announced. The results will be announced tomorrow at 9:00 pm under the east wall of the south courtyard of Lin'an Prefecture! Bang! Bang! Bang! The results of today's exam will be announced..."
