Chapter 582 Kirin Golden Seal
Zhu Lan, like everyone else around him, looked at the golden seal with admiration and envy.
She asked Mr. Liu with some trepidation, saying that she also had two silver notes from Tongyun Money House and wanted to go to the money house to exchange them.
However, the silver bills were issued in the capital. According to the rules of Tongyun Money House, if they were to be accepted in other places, the procedures were somewhat complicated and it often took three to five days to exchange them for cash.
She looked at Mr. Liu for help.
Master Liu waved his hand and said, "No problem!"
Maoxian is a big county in Qingzhou. Tongyun Money House has two branches in Maoxian. Mr. Liu told Zhu Lan to go directly to the east one, find Manager Mi, and say he is his friend.
Manager Mi will definitely help her to expedite the matter. If it is done quickly, she can get the money on the same day.
Zhu Lan was "overjoyed" and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
…
After the banquet, Zhu Lan asked Xu Zhiyuan to take care of Yan Jing for a while, and he went to Tongyun Money House to exchange silver bills.
Just as she was about to go out, Mr. Liu called her and said in a very enthusiastic manner that he could accompany her to the money house.
Zhu Lan smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that Xu Zhiyuan must have quietly told him about his and Jing'er's "identities" during the dinner just now, otherwise he would never be so attentive.
Zhu Lan naturally did not refuse Mr. Liu's kindness.
The two men came to Tongyun Money House. Mr. Liu walked in first and called out the clerk's name with familiarity.
When the bank clerk saw him, he immediately stood up, put on a smiling face and greeted him, inviting him to go directly to the second floor.
Zhu Lan followed Master Liu to a room on the second floor, which seemed to be the manager's study. There were several locked rooms next to it, which must be where the bank's account books were kept.
A middle-aged man came out, greeted Mr. Liu very warmly, and invited the two of them in.
No need to guess, this person is Manager Mi.
In the study, there was a root-carved wooden table for entertaining guests. It was antique and graceful. Manager Mi glanced at Zhu Lan. Although he felt a little strange, he was very tactful and did not ask any more questions.
He personally poured tea for the two of them and chatted with Mr. Liu for a while, as if they were old friends.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Liu changed the subject and got straight to the point, asking Steward Mi to help Zhu Lan exchange the banknotes.
Manager Mi agreed repeatedly, took the banknote and looked at it, then frowned again, saying that it was an out-of-town acceptance and it was estimated that it could not be cashed today.
Mr. Liu smiled and asked him to be flexible.
Manager Mi was a little embarrassed. He looked at the golden seal with a deer head in Master Liu's hand, hesitated for a long time, and said through gritted teeth:
"Okay, since you asked, I'll make an exception!"
After saying this, he called the waiter over and gave him a few instructions. The waiter nodded and went to do it immediately.
Manager Mi rubbed his hands and looked at Master Liu with some expectation in his eyes:
"I've done this for you, but it's almost the end of the year..."
"Don't worry, the money donated this year is still with you!"
The two of them smiled in collusion.
Seeing that everything had been settled, Master Liu asked Zhu Lan to wait for a while while the bank processed the silver exchange. He had nothing to do, so he stood up and told Zhu Lan that he had something else to do.
Zhu Lan asked him to go and do his work first and he would wait here.
Manager Mi personally saw Mr. Liu out. The two exchanged a few polite words downstairs before Manager Mi turned around and went back to the bank.
He went up to the second floor and was stunned when he stepped into his study.
Zhu Lan was sitting on a yellow pear wood chair behind his desk, flipping through a thick account book with a leisurely look on his face, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
He was completely different from the quiet and introverted person he was just now.
"What are you doing!?"
Manager Mi's face turned cold instantly and he was about to get angry, but considering that she was someone brought by Master Liu, he suppressed his anger.
He quickly stepped forward and was about to take the account book from Zhu Lan's hand, but Zhu Lan retracted his arm and Manager Mi missed.
Zhu Lan turned to the next page with a faint smile on his face.
Manager Mi was so angry that he pointed at her and said sternly:
"This is my private study. You are so rude, woman. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are Mr. Liu's guest?
Mr. Liu has the golden seal with a deer head in his hand, but even if he were here, he has no right to look through the account books of our Tongyun Money House!
You should leave quickly. For Mr. Liu's sake, I won't bother with you, a woman.
Otherwise I will report it to the police!"
When Manager Mi said the last sentence, he found that he was actually lacking in confidence.
Even he himself didn't know what was going on. It was clearly the other party who was in the wrong, and he should be in the right.
But this woman sat there, dressed in cloth, without saying a word, but exuding an inexplicable sense of oppression.
It was as if her existence itself was an unspoken oppression.
What a ghost!
Zhu Lan finally spoke. Without even raising her head, she spoke in a faint voice:
"You said that the holder of the Deer Head Gold Seal also has no right to access the bank's account books?"
Manager Mi took a deep breath and said, "Of course! Let alone the Deer Head Seal, even the Black Tortoise Seal and the White Tiger Seal——"
"What about this?"
Zhu Lan interrupted him directly and placed a golden seal on the table. On the golden seal was a lifelike Qilin carved.
Kirin golden seal!
Manager Mi's eyes widened in an instant, and he suspected that he was seeing things.
Kirin Golden Seal, is it really a Kirin Golden Seal! ?
He was so stunned that he couldn't speak. He looked at Zhu Lan again, who was still flipping through the account book.
Manager Mi carefully stretched out his hands, picked up the gold seal and examined it carefully.
It is said that there are no more than ten golden seals of the Tongyun Money House in the world, but today I actually saw one with my own eyes.
But he was still a little uncertain, and suddenly turned around, took out a notebook from the chest of drawers in the corner of the study, and hurriedly turned to one of the pages.
That page shows the styles of gold seals of each level of Tongyun Money House, as well as anti-counterfeiting details. All managers of Tongyun Money House in Daliang must have a copy to avoid making mistakes.
He narrowed his eyes, compared them over and over again for a long time, and finally looked back at Zhu Lan in shock.
"Who...are you?"
