Chapter 179: Special Silver Notes

Wen Yan booked a room at the inn farthest from Wen Ruyue.

After putting down their luggage, Wen Yan and the other two headed towards the largest bank in the county.

There weren't many customers in the bank.

Not long after they entered, it was their turn.

Wen Yan took out a five hundred taels silver note and said, "Exchange all of it into cash."

As they walked along, they found that the drought had already spread towards the capital.

The further north you go, the more severe the drought will become.

The bank would no longer exchange large-denomination banknotes for her.

So she changed more this time.

The waiter took the banknotes to check their authenticity. When he checked one of them, his expression changed slightly.

His face immediately filled with an attentive smile: "Sir, please wait a moment. I will ask our shopkeeper to come over and receive you personally."

When he left, he asked another waiter to serve them tea and snacks to entertain them well.

The waiter did not hesitate and immediately brought tea and snacks.

After a while, the waiter came out with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man walked quickly to Wen Yan, picked up the five banknotes, flipped through them, pulled out one of them, and asked Wen Yan very politely, "I wonder how you got this banknote, young master?"

He should be the owner of this silver shop.

Wen Yan didn't answer, but asked cautiously: "Why are you asking me this?"

"To be honest, this type of banknote is limited in quantity and can only be obtained by guests of special status."

Wen Yan didn't pay attention to these details.

She took a banknote and looked at it carefully, then she remembered: "This is a banknote a friend gave me when he bought something from me."

"What's your friend's last name?"

"Wu."

This silver note was the payment Wu Yunzi paid her when he bought paint.

However, I don’t know what Wu Yunzi is doing.

After the grain collection was completed, Wen Yan fulfilled his promise and invited him to dinner.

We made two appointments, but he wasn't there.

"So that's how it is!" The shopkeeper nodded calmly. Seeing that Yan didn't know the benefit of this silver note, he didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he politely said to Wen Yan, "Young Master, please wait a moment. I will personally prepare the silver for you."

"Please wait a moment." Wen Yan called him.

The shopkeeper turned around and looked at Wen Yan in confusion.

Wen Yan took out an ordinary silver note and exchanged the special silver note with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's brow twitched, his eyes reluctant to move away from the silver note: "This... Actually, it's the same if you exchange it with this silver note. I can even give you some gifts."

The more the shopkeeper said this.

The more Wen Yan heard about it, the more she wanted to take the banknotes back.

When the shopkeeper saw her firm attitude, he knew that his behavior had been exposed.

I had no choice but to prepare the money with great pain.

After he left, Wen Yan raised her eyebrows.

It seems that this silver note is very special.

Wu Yunzi gave her ten silver notes at that time, and she didn't know how many of them were special.

She will have to check it carefully when she gets back.

After a while, the shopkeeper asked two waiters to come out, each carrying two trays.

The shopkeeper asked the waiter to weigh the silver on the spot.

While chatting with Wen Yan, “Sir, you came at the right time.

Many people have been exchanging silver for cash recently, and this five hundred taels is the last of our bank's stock today."

He finished speaking.

The silver over there has also been weighed.

Pei'er took out three thick cloth bags and put the silver in them.

Wen Yan paid the money for the transaction to the shopkeeper.

The transaction is officially completed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden voice sounded: "Wait."

Several people looked towards the door.

Then a young woman strode into the store.

The woman was dressed in red, holding a short whip that was dark red, and walked in with a heroic look.

The woman pointed the short whip in her hand at the bag in Uncle Shitou's hand and said, "Put the silver down. It's mine."

Uncle Shitou: “…”

Wen Yan: “…”

When the woman saw that they didn't move, her face immediately darkened.

He swung the whip into the air, making a crisp "crack" sound. "Are you deaf? I want these last five hundred taels of silver, and you are not allowed to take them away."

Pei'er not only did not stop, but she swiftly stuffed the last two silver ingots into the bag, and then pulled Uncle Shitou to stand behind Wen Yan.

The young woman saw that they were going against her,

He immediately became furious and walked up to Wen Yan with a fierce look on his face: "Are you going to give it to me or not?"

Wen Yan sat in the chair as still as a mountain. "My lady, we exchanged this silver. We have completed all the formalities, and it is already mine.

No refunds or exchanges.”

"How dare you talk back to me! I've never been talked back to by anyone in my life!" She raised the whip and lashed at Wen Yan.

Wen Yan didn't even blink.

Uncle Shitou grabbed the whip and pulled it lightly, taking it away.

"You... you dare to hit me!" The woman was so angry that her face turned red. She shouted to the outside of the door, "Are you all dead? Can't you see that I'm being bullied? Come in and take them down."

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people rushed in from outside the door.

They quickly surrounded Wen Yan, the other two, and the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper tried to be a peacemaker.

The woman glared at him and said, "Shut up. You have no right to speak here."

The shopkeeper frowned unhappily.

Their bank is one of the best in Dayong.

Ever since he became the manager of the bank, local officials and wealthy businessmen have been polite to him when they see him.

The yellow-haired girl in front of him was the first one who dared to ignore him.

The shopkeeper's face darkened and he was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yan stood up at this time.

A slap hit the woman's face.

Wen Yan raised her chin, looking proud. "You even dared to touch me, and you didn't even go out to find out who I belong to. Are you tired of living and want to report to the underworld as soon as possible?"

When Wen Yan became arrogant, the woman's domineering nature was immediately suppressed.

"You... you're so arrogant! If you're really capable, tell me your origins! You're scaring me to the point of making my legs go weak!"

“I am an insignificant little person.

But I am working for Wen Ruyue, the wife of the Crown Prince of the Marquis of Jinping.

When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. If you bully me, you are slapping the face of the Crown Prince's wife, Wen Ruyue!"

The woman suddenly felt guilty, but she still tried to hold on: "Haha, Madam Crown Prince, who knows if what you said is true or not?"

"Don't believe me? Then if you have the guts, try touching me and see if you can still keep this hand on your arm."

Wen Yan became more arrogant and grabbed the other person's hand and slapped it on his head.

The woman didn't dare to gamble.

Although her background is more noble than that of the Marquis.

But after all, since they were not her closest blood relatives, she had no idea to what extent they could help her.

She thought about it and decided that there was no need to create enemies for herself now.

When she gets what she wants, she will be able to control a mere marquis in her own hands!

Her servants also vied with each other to persuade her.

The woman took advantage of the situation to back down, but she still warned Wen Yan: "We'll see!"

She waved her hand and left with her men.

When the shopkeeper heard Yan introduce himself as someone from the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Wen Yan nodded at him and strode away.
