The eldest prince's mansion was crowded with people.
All the people who come to the door are related to each other.
How could the royal family and high-ranking officials crowd together with the common people in Wenqing Bookstore or any branch of a business in Sihai?
What should I do then?
Send a visiting letter directly to Madam Zhao and go to her house to buy shares.
For a while, the doorman of the eldest prince's mansion was busy opening and closing doors.
The maids Aqing and Xiaoyu came to the study carrying a basket of visiting cards.
"Madam, this is only the first basket. There are many more baskets of visiting cards to come."
"Could it be that these people have made an appointment and dared to send their visiting cards today?"
Gu Jiu pointed to the corner and said, "Put it there."
She was holding a book and reading it with great interest.
The two maids put down the basket.
The maid Ah Qing said, "Madam, won't you reply to them? Those servants and maids who delivered the visiting cards are all waiting for news in the gatehouse."
Gu Jiu flipped through the pages of the book and chuckled, "There are still several days left, no rush."
Since the Madam said there was no need to rush, everyone in the First Prince's Mansion followed suit.
Gu Jiu is not in a hurry, but others are.
Someone came from the palace and asked when the registration would be done.
Gu Jiu put down the book in his hand and asked Eunuch Wen to sit down.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you, Eunuch Wen. How have you been lately?"
The concubines in the harem sent so many people over, but only Eunuch Wen from Weiyang Palace was personally received by Gu Jiu.
"You're welcome, ma'am. We're doing fine. I've just been feeling anxious and unsure lately."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Eunuch Wen, have some tea."
Eunuch Wen sat down on the chair and said, "Even if I don't tell you, Madam, you must know why I came here. Please tell me the truth so that I can report back to the palace."
Gu Jiu asked with a smile, "Did the Queen Mother send Li here?"
"That's natural."
"Isn't Eunuch Wen tempted himself?" Gu Jiu said with a half-smile.
Eunuch Wen laughed heartily. "Universal Transport is so hot. Even though I'm in the harem, I often hear about it. How could I not be tempted? I just don't know if I'm eligible to buy some shares."
"Eunuch Wen is joking."
"I dare not laugh in front of my wife."
Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I wonder how many shares the Queen intends to buy?"
"How about buying one hundred or eighty thousand taels?" Eunuch Wen asked politely.
Gu Jiu shook his head. "I'm afraid not. Universal Transport has regulations that limit the purchase of a maximum of fifty thousand taels of shares. Universal Transport will not accept registrations exceeding fifty thousand taels."
"Madam, do you mean that a person can only have 50,000 taels to his name?"
Gu Jiu nodded. "Yes, one person only has 50,000 taels in his name. If you want to help the Queen buy shares, you have to provide the Queen's private seal. This is the rule, please forgive me."
Eunuch Wen frowned slightly, "To be honest, Madam, taking the Empress's private seal out of the palace is a taboo. If we were discovered, our family would be in great trouble."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I understand Eunuch Wen's difficulties. So there is a second method. This is the share purchase registration form. Eunuch Wen, take it back and ask the Empress to personally fill out the registration and stamp it. Then bring the registration form and the money to purchase the shares. Someone will then handle the remaining procedures."
Eunuch Wen took the registration form and looked at the contents carefully.
He nodded, "Can we get a few more registration forms?"
Gu Jiu nodded with a smile, took out a stack of registration forms, and went with Eunuch Wen to collect them.
After finishing his business, Eunuch Wen did not stay long and hurried back to the palace.
Other stewards, servants and maids who came to the eldest prince's mansion to deliver visiting cards or to inquire about the matter also received registration forms of varying amounts and returned to the mansion to report.
…
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
The eunuch brought back the registration form and told Xiao Qin'er a piece of news.
"Madam, the maximum amount of shares you can purchase is fifty thousand taels. Registration will not be accepted for amounts exceeding fifty thousand taels."
"I see!"
Xiao Qin'er suddenly realized why Huang Qubing had reminded her that it would be best to only borrow 50,000 taels. It turned out that Huang Qubing had already received the news and had been keeping it a secret.
After being angry, she felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, I didn’t borrow 100,000 taels.
Otherwise, you will have 50,000 taels of silver hanging on your hands.
It is easy to borrow money from Shaofu Money House but difficult to repay it.
Even if the loan is for one day, you still have to pay interest.
…
Yu Ge'er secretly took out a registration form and handed it to Liu Zheng.
He whispered, "Want to buy it?"
Liu Zheng nodded, "Buy!"
"Is the money enough? Do you want me to lend it to you?" Yu Ge'er asked.
Liu Zheng shook his head. "I have money. I've saved nearly a thousand taels of silver, enough to buy dozens of shares. Brother Yu, do you want to buy one?"
Yu Ge'er nodded repeatedly, "I plan to buy some too."
Liu Zheng asked curiously, "Your mother is the owner of Huanyu Shares. Why do you need to buy shares secretly?"
Yu Ge'er said, "My mother's money is not mine."
Liu Zheng frowned, "But my mother said that all the money she earns will be given to me, my sister and my brother."
Yu Ge'er shook his head. "Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment when you spend the money you earn yourself? If you stretch out your hand and wait for money from your elders, you will never grow up."
"I don't want to grow up. It's boring. You know, a matchmaker has already come to my house to propose marriage to me, but fortunately my mother didn't agree. The Empress Dowager also asked about my marriage. When I think about getting married in two years, I feel very upset. Brother Yu, do you want to grow up?"
Yu Ge'er nodded and said, "I want to grow up quickly. But my mother said that it's best for men to get married after they are 12 years old. My father also said that it's best not to get close to women before 18 years old."
"Why is that?" Liu Zheng was curious. "The maid in the mansion has hinted several times that she wants to arrange a maid for me. I said no, so my mother didn't listen to her."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ge'er couldn't help but look Liu Zheng up and down.
Liu Zheng was frightened by his gaze, "Why are you looking at me? I'm a man, what's there to look at?"
Yu Ge'er said seriously: "My father said that if you come into contact with women too early, your yang energy will be depleted and you will not grow tall."
Liu Zheng looked nervous and a little bit unbelieving, "Is it true that I can't grow taller?"
Yu Ge'er nodded heavily and gestured his height, "I'm almost surpassing you."
Liu Zheng looked depressed.
He jumped up and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely surpass you and be taller than you."
Yu Ge'er laughed and said, "Then I'll wait and see. Have you filled out the registration form? Don't forget to stamp it, otherwise it will be invalid."
"Fortunately, I brought my personal seal with me today."
Liu Zheng bought thirty shares, and all his private money was gone, leaving only a few dozen taels of silver for pocket money.
He asked Yu Ge'er, "How many shares do you plan to buy?"
Yu Ge'er said casually: "I plan to buy 400 shares."
Damn it!
"Where did you get so much money?"
Jealousy made Liu Zheng's face unrecognizable. He punched Yu Ge'er on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, tell me the truth. How did you get so much money?"
Yu Ge'er smiled, not intentionally showing off, "I have a special storeroom for gifts. From the time my mother conceived me until I was born, all the gifts I received on my birthday every year were placed in my storeroom. Since the year before last, I have been able to control the contents of the storeroom on my own.
I sorted out the gold and silver gifts from the elders over the years, and I didn't expect there would be several thousand taels. Add to that the red envelopes I received during the holidays, and I saved them all up, and I have this much money."
Oh, oh, oh!
Both are grandsons of the emperor, but they have different fates!
Liu Zheng looked sad.
"My mother collected all the gifts people gave me. She even said she was keeping them for me. But they disappeared while she was keeping them. Your mother is so kind. She doesn't care about a child's money."
"I'll call you if there's any profitable business in the future."
"Good brother! Did your brother Heng also buy shares?"
"Brother Heng also has a storehouse, but he's not old enough to manage the contents. I estimate he has less than five hundred taels of pocket money."
Liu Zheng grinned when he heard this.
Finally, there was someone who was just like him and also couldn't save money.
He patted Yu Ge'er's shoulder. Damn, Yu Ge'er was really a little taller than him. It was so infuriating.
"Five hundred taels is still money. Let him buy some shares and get dividends every year."
"I'll go back and ask him."
Before leaving the palace, Yu Ge'er secretly took out a stack of registration forms and handed them to Zhou Miao.
Zhou Miao quickly put away the registration form and said repeatedly, "Thank you, Master Yu. Let's meet here tomorrow. I'll give you the money."
Yu Ge'er nodded, "It's not too late to leave even a day or two later. Eunuch Zhou, don't forget to take care of the people in Xingqing Palace."
"Don't worry, sir. We won't forget. We will definitely help you with the Xingqing Palace."
Yu Ge'er shook his head and said, "Eunuch Zhou is wrong. He is not doing things for me, but I am doing things for everyone."
"Yes, yes, sir, you are right."
Yu Ge'er left with a smile.
Zhou Miao was still frightened.
They are all so difficult to serve.
But once you get on the pirate ship, you can't get off.
…
Zhou Miao plans to leave the palace.
He disguised himself and waited by the roadside.
I waited until dark before I saw people coming out of the yamen.
He followed behind carefully.
Unexpectedly, the other party turned a corner and disappeared.
Zhou Miao became anxious and quickly chased into the alley.
"You are the one who has been following me?"
Zhou Shi'an walked out from the dim corner and looked at Zhou Miao with squinted eyes.
Zhou Miao looked nervous, "Mr. Zhou, I, I, I..."
"Are you a palace eunuch?" Zhou Shi'an was very surprised. "Who sent you here? What is your master's purpose in sending you to keep an eye on me?"
Zhou Miao, who usually remained calm even when faced with a crisis, was actually panicking at this moment.
He waved his hands repeatedly, "Mr. Zhou misunderstood, no one sent me here. I just came to deliver something."
After saying that, he took out a registration form.
Zhou Shian looked confused.
Zhou Miao said anxiously, "Huanyu shares are very hard to get. With this registration form, I guarantee that Mr. Zhou will be able to buy Huanyu shares. That way, he can enjoy the dividends and no longer worry about money."
"You seem very familiar with this old man?"
Zhou Miao actually started to shy away, "Mr. Zhou, have you really forgotten me?"
Zhou Shian was confused, "Should I know you?"
Zhou Miao opened his mouth, wanting to remind the other party, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Zhou is a man who is destined for great things. He shouldn't associate with eunuchs, lest his reputation be ruined. Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I won't show up again."
After saying that, he threw down the registration form and ran away.
