All right.
Jin Yin Fang
Gold and Silver Money House
Under the golden sign, between two glittering golden lions, Mozi once again deeply and helplessly felt his own poverty. However, it seemed that there was another person who had such a feeling.
"What's going on with this Jin Yin Zong Zhuang? The gate is as lavish as a golden armor, are they afraid people won't know it's a money house?" Compared to Mo Zi's sarcastic remarks, Qiu San Niang was straightforward. Her consecutive rhetorical questions were actually just envy and jealousy. This person, her love for money shouldn't be much less than the owner of Jin Yin Zong Zhuang."
"Yes, the gold and silver warehouses in Luocheng are not that... dazzling." Mozi felt that the sun was too big, and with the reflection of the golden light on her body, she would soon start to feel hot. "Miss, haven't you been to Shangdu before?"
"Five years ago, I came once, and at that time, there was no Golden Silver Money House yet." As she said this, Qiu San Niang became even more angry. "I don't know where it emerged from, but it grew wildly like bamboo shoots after a rain, and now which prefecture in the Great Zhou doesn't have one?"
"But the credibility is really good, the gold and silver bills have their own numbers, even if they are lost, as long as it's not a fake name, you can get the money back with your ID." Moreover, the shopkeepers are flexible in handling things and can respond to different customer requirements, which is what Mozi has experienced himself.
"Three guests, it's hot outside, we have a refreshing sour plum drink and some snacks, please come in first." A quick-witted young waiter with a smile all over his face came out to greet them.
"If the reputation is not good, I dare not keep my silver here." Chou San Niang wore a suit of sapphire blue satin, with her raven hair high coiled and fastened by a gemstone pin, looking like a handsome young man.
However, this handsome man was so beautiful that he had a strong feminine taste. Mu Zi didn't know what others thought, but she felt that Jiu San Niang, who refused to apply foundation on her face, except for her thick eyebrows, had a stunningly beautiful pale complexion.
Similarly, the girl dressed as a man, normally with long hands and feet not like a slender woman, her black hair was tied up like a heroic young man, wearing a black tight shirt, wide waistband, slender figure and cold eyes, holding a long sword in her hand, surprisingly very handsome.
Looking at her, she was dressed in a deep purple color, with a yellowish complexion and a busy look on her face. Her eyes darted back and forth, as if she were a street urchin who spent all day running around the market.
Three people followed the shopkeeper into the front hall, and a cashier came up to ask if San Niang was there to open an account and deposit silver. Seeing her dignified demeanor, he thought she was a big shot and wanted to lead her to a private room.
"Master, I'll wait for you downstairs." Mozi didn't want to go in and count the silver tickets, especially since not a single cent was his own, and at least half of it was earned back by him for Qiu San Niang.
No, no, don't think of her as petty, she actually has other things going on.
Qiu San Niang thought for a moment and said: "Alright."
Mozi knew that Qiu Sanniang was very careful with her savings and wouldn't take long to settle the matter. So, after seeing her and Xiaoyi enter the private room, he didn't really wait in the main hall, but instead walked into the main hall's large cabinet, found the high shelf where the deposit was kept, and tapped on the board with his toes.
The grid sprang up with a loud creak, revealing a face that was not smiling but had a forced smile on it. "Young man, are you storing or retrieving something?"
The dark purple first made that awkward face feel very awkward, and then thought that others were also dedicated to customer satisfaction, born not smiling, but still had to smile for people to see, it was not easy, busy adjusting his expression.
"I've come to inquire. A fortnight ago, I consigned an item to your company's warehouse in the capital, but I don't know if it arrived safely?" As he spoke, he took out a folded paper and, standing on tiptoe, handed it over with some effort through the gate, "This is the receipt issued by your company."
He took a quick glance at the cabinet and then opened his mouth with an extremely respectful tone, "Young brother, did you bring your household registration book?"
This little purple notebook was obtained after being deceived and losing freedom, so it's only natural to cherish it even more. However, why did this person suddenly become polite?
She handed over her household registration book as well and emphasized, "The entrusted item has nothing to do with my master's family, it is a personal request of mine, don't get the cabinet business wrong."
The gold and silver warehouses accept deposits of fake identities, but they are retrieved with a contract or password. However, Mozi was very careful. The token and password could be lost, and the household register had an official seal and was originally stored in the document library, so using "officially recognized" identity to store items would not be easily denied.
"It's clear at a glance." The household registration book showed that Mozi was a woman, but the matter was not unusual in any way. He returned the book and certificate to Mozi, "Please wait for a moment, guest."
"I just - want to see if it's arrived or not."
Kǎ——gāo gé xià bǎn, bǎ mò zǐ de huà kǎn qù yī bàn.
Translation:
Cut off half of the purple words under the high frame.
What does this mean? Did the things she entrusted get lost or is the money house going to embezzle it? She quoted a price of 200,000 taels and the gold and silver money house promised to compensate at the original price if they got lost. When showing these things to the person in charge of the Luocheng branch, even the big shopkeeper came out personally to verify their authenticity, and he wrote a certificate with his own hand, so it's impossible for them to deny responsibility.
Mozi stared at her shoe tips, lost in thought, and finally suspected that someone from the Jin Yin Money House had seen the treasure and was greedy. They thought she was a maid from a wealthy family and wanted to bully her with their power. After thinking about it, if the other party really swallowed the thing without making a sound, what could she do even if she used her real name? The starting point was very careful, but when things came to an end, they found that it was all useless. The thing was almost like stolen goods, and its owner was still a descendant of the traitor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She couldn't go to the government office to report the Jin Yin Money House, or she would become an accomplice to the traitor.
It's called Water Purification Pearl.
She was worried that Qiu San Niang would discover it, and also afraid of losing it, so she used the fastest delivery service from Jin Yin Qian Zhuang. She decided to return the pearl to Yuan Cheng, thinking that this valuable thing could help him save himself, and the sooner the better. According to Zhuangzi's guarantee, items worth over 100,000 taels would arrive in Shangdu within ten days or half a month. If someone was beheaded before the pearl arrived, what use would "Yu Jian Ming Zhu" be?
"Who is this guest?" An old man wearing a copper coin robe looked at Mozi, who was angrily scrubbing the floor, and hesitated to approach.
Mozi thought Jin Yin Qian Zhuang was a big mouth lion, and it was at its most sensitive moment. As soon as she heard someone shouting, her line of sight immediately swept over. She saw an old man three feet away from her, looking at her with a flustered face.
"Are you calling me?" Mu Zi looked around and saw no one else, slightly collecting her expression.
"Wasn't it you who just asked the porter?" The old man was quite cautious.
"That's right." Oh, is there more to it?
"Please follow me." The old man turned around and led the way in front.
Mozi thought to herself, she wasn't alone, and if worst came to worst, she'd have to risk being discovered by Qiu Sanniang and call out for Xiaoyi's help. Being a bold person herself, she didn't hesitate and followed forward.
Passing through the main hall, entering the corridor. After passing the corridor, enter the hall again. Walking to this point, Mozi felt that following someone from one hall to another was familiar, and then immediately remembered the first time he came back to see Yuanqing. The twists and turns, the places where you go in and out, seem unlikely to have pleasant experiences.
The hall is magnificent and dazzling. The tables and chairs are made of the finest autumn mountain rock pine, although they are not calculated by weight, a single log can be worth over 100 taels. Two red wood pillars that match each other in size, which ordinary people use to make furniture, this villa uses as support for the roof. On top of the pillars is written a pair of golden glittering couplets with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
A single tael of gold and a few taels of silver are not enough; thousands of mountains of gold and thousands of mountains of silver are still too little.
Horizontal inscription: Da Shao Hao Jin.
Mei Zi muttered to herself and suddenly burst out laughing, "This couplet——"
"What does our guest think of what I've written?" The old man suddenly turned his head back and smiled very kindly.
"Pretty... good, pretty good." If it weren't for the expensive decorations on the facade, judging from the couplet alone, she would have thought that the master of the Golden Silver Bank was a miser.
"I think it's pretty good too." Laughter echoed, and someone lifted the bamboo curtain and walked out from behind.
At a glance, she wore a crimson skirt with a purple lining, and her waist was adorned with ornaments made of gold and silver. Her hair was styled in a high bun, with a ruby and sapphire inserted into the braid, and an agate pin shaped like a golden fireball was stuck into it. On each index finger, she wore two rings, one made of milky white jade and the other of Persian cat's eye stone.
The Tang Dynasty was the most diverse period in history for clothing. However, after Wu Zetian of the Zhou Dynasty, women's clothing became more traditional and men's clothing even more monotonous. It can be said that she had never seen a man dressed more luxuriously than the one before her eyes.
But she didn't think that the gold, silver and jewels were overdone. The metaphor of a good horse with a good saddle may not be quite appropriate, but this man was too handsome. His eyes were like phoenix eyes, his nose was like a stone carving, and his lips were like cherry blossoms. His skin was as white as ice and snow, without any blemishes. If it weren't for the sword-like eyebrows and the knot on his throat, he could wear women's clothes and rival the beauty of Qiu San Niang. When a man has such an extraordinary face, all decorations become like green leaves that set off his natural brilliance.
Although it's a rare and beautiful color, ink purple is just a fleeting moment. In this era, there are also aristocrats who admire masculine beauty. However, those handsome boys often meet with miserable ends. Therefore, for a man to be too good-looking is not necessarily something to be celebrated.
"Are you the master of the Golden Silver Bank?" The stunning beauty in her purple eyes faded away as she asked lightly.
Astonishment flashed across Dan Feng's eyes and then dispersed. The handsome man smiled and said, "Not only are you beautiful, but your eyes can also see through people."
"It's just that the big eastern house has poor eyesight, my eyes aren't pretty." Dressed like that, who could she take him for? Certainly not the money shop owner's male concubine?
"Oh? Well, I can only say that different people have different tastes." He humbly went along with it.
"Mocha is now dressed as a man in front of everyone, and the master can call me Mocha Brother." She felt uneasy being called "girl" while wearing men's clothes.
"Is this Mo Ge? My name is Jinying. The gold of Jinying, the silver of Jinying." The handsome man also introduced himself.
"What's with the 'Golden Silver' in Jin Yin Qian Zhuang?" Mo Zi couldn't help but be taken aback again, what kind of name is this? It's also... too straightforward.
"That's right." Jin Yin seemed to be used to others' reactions when they heard his name, "And my real full name. Also, I don't like being called Young Master, just call me Jin Da Shao."
How much is gold?
So this is what they call a young master with a heart of gold.
Guys, just three more votes and I'll update twice today.
I'm robbed!
