"Miss... is there really a pastry shop in the west of the city?" The driver's home was in the west of the city, and he had never heard of any pastry shop there.
"I forgot whether it was the west side of the city."
“…”
Forgot?
Did you state the address so clearly just now?
Go forward from East Third Alley in the west of the city, then go north, then turn left... Hey?
No, if it turns around, won’t it be a moat?
Thinking of this, the driver's face immediately changed. He pulled the reins and dared not stay where he was, for fear that the young master would find out and come to settle the score with them.
The horse neighed and ran very fast...
Ye Qianning supported her chin with her hand. When she was a child, she was fat and had a big appetite. She could eat several servings of cakes a day. In Loushan, she could often be seen eating with Qian Zhuye and Sang Zhi.
Later, Gao Qi came over to them. She couldn't bear to be a child, so she gave him some whenever she saw him. Over time, Gao Qi would always come over to them whenever they were eating.
It seems that he is a person who loves to eat pastries!
Ye Qianning still remembered how excited he was when he saw the pastries just now. Apart from anything else, her pastries were grown in space and watered by spiritual springs. No other pastries in the world could make the taste like this.
No wonder Takaki has been thinking about it all the time. Tsk, she understands the world of foodies!
"Miss, the Xianrenzui is ahead, but it seems there are a lot of soldiers and officers." The driver pulled the car to the side and did not dare to move forward.
Ye Qianning opened the curtain and saw that it was the team of officers and soldiers from before. She got out of the car and threw a piece of gold to him: "Today, I trouble you, uncle. You don't have to wait for me."
The driver took it. It was shining like gold. He couldn't earn that much even in several years.
"Girl, this is too much. I can't accept it."
It was just a matter of a few copper coins, but when I was given a certain amount of gold, I felt hot and scared when holding it.
"This is what you deserve, uncle. The city is quite chaotic, so you'd better not go out to work these two days." Just now, Gao Qi drew his sword and scared the other person to death, all because of her few pieces of cakes. She felt bad about it.
"This...this...where are you going, girl? I'll wait for you here," said the coachman.
"No need, uncle, go back."
After Ye Qianning finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Xianrenzui.
The driver held the gold and took a look at it. He couldn't believe that a little girl in ordinary clothes had so much money. He carefully put the gold into his arms and turned the horse around.
There were many soldiers and officers surrounding the gate of Xianrenzui, blocking off a section of the road in front of the gate.
Ye Qianning came to the door and wanted to go in but was stopped by the soldiers.
"The Immortal Drunk is temporarily closed, please leave immediately."
Ye Qianning wisely walked away and stood at the door of the shop opposite Xianrenzui. He moved his ears slightly and looked upstairs.
Two heads could be vaguely seen in front of the window on the fifth floor. She turned and went into the shop, gave the shopkeeper some silver, and the waiter respectfully led her upstairs.
The shop opposite Xianhai Tower is an inn. In the past, the inn was always full, but recently the capital has been in turmoil and the inn has become deserted.
Ye Qianning directly chose a room on the fifth floor facing the street.
"Miss, do you need to prepare meals?" asked the waiter.
"No, you can go down."
"Okay, girl, you take a rest first. Call me if you need anything." The waiter smiled and went out to close the door for her.
Ye Qianning walked to the window, pushed it open, and just happened to see the opposite side.
There were three people sitting on the bed opposite. One of them was wearing a cream-colored robe, had the temperament of a scholar, and looked elegant and graceful. The two men sitting opposite him were one wearing a blue noble servant and the other sitting on the inside. Ye Qianning could only see a pair of hands holding a folding fan and purple clothes.
Among the three, the gentleman in the cream-colored robe was Fu Cheng, whom Ye Qianning was looking for.
I have to say that when Fu Cheng is not doing anything, he looks gentle and shy, but once he opens his mouth, he becomes vulgar and money-minded. Not only is he ruthless, but he is also extremely cruel. The term "gentlemanly scum" describes people like him.
Ye Qianning leaned casually against the window, his gaze lingering on the opposite side for a few seconds before lowering his eyes to look towards the room next to them.
Standing by the window was a man in an apricot-yellow, double-breasted, narrow-sleeved gown, with his hair combed up, a white jade crown and belt, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and an extraordinary demeanor.
When his eyes met Ye Qianning's, his pupils narrowed slightly. That face overlapped with the jade-white face of his childhood. It was him - Prince Sang Qi.
Sang Qi had been very handsome when he was a child, and now he was even more handsome. At this moment, he had a calm look in his eyes, holding a white jade cup in his hand, looking indifferent and noble.
He looks about 60% similar to Sang Zhi, but his and Sang Zhi's handsomeness are completely different styles.
Ye Qianning glanced between the two rooms and instantly understood what it meant.
Sang Qi on the opposite side seemed to be aware of the gaze and looked across at a simple-dressed little girl who was shaking her head and looking around, as if she was curious about everything.
After just one glance, he looked away.
In the next room, Fu Cheng leaned lazily on the chair, staring at the two people in front of him with a smile.
"Brother Fu, if you come to settle in the capital, why not consider our bank? Our bank offers excellent treatment and will also increase dividends." The man in blue is Sun Qian, the young master of the Sun family who is in charge of the Huangshang Bank.
Fu Cheng scratched his ears and tutted his tongue, "I thought Master Sun and Master Qin were friends with me because they shared similar interests, but now it seems that's not the case."
"Brother Fu, you misunderstood. I treat you as a brother, that's why I acted this way. Our Sun family's bank is a royal merchant and has a high reputation in the entire Beili." Sun Qian hurriedly explained.
The man next to him, Qin Shangqing, echoed: "Yes, Brother Fu, we are friends. Brothers will never lie to you."
"The Sun family is the imperial bank. If I deposit my money there, it will go directly to the national treasury." Fu Cheng said, shaking his head: "No."
"That's not the case. The Sun family pays taxes to the emperor every year, and the money deposits in the bank will not go into the national treasury." Sun Qian said.
“Not going into the national treasury?”
"right."
"That won't work either." Fu Cheng refused.
Sun Qian and Qin Shangqing exchanged a glance and said, "Brother Fu, please reconsider. We are all friends. I can raise the interest rate. What do you think?"
Fu Cheng still shook his head.
“Brother Fu…”
Fu Cheng: "Money is meant to be spent, what's the point of saving it?"
“…”
flower?
Sun Qian had seen the money that Fu Cheng hired the escort agency to transport. There were dozens of boxes of gold, silver, jade and jewelry. Any one item would be enough for the common people to live for several lifetimes.
Even though he ran a money shop, he had never seen such a large amount of money.
"Brother Fu, didn't you say that your family is no longer in business? If you keep spending money like this, won't you end up eating up all your savings?" Qin Shangqing felt heartbroken seeing him spending money.
"Eating up all the food?" Fu Cheng laughed when he heard this.
Qin Shangqing was so cute when he smiled.
"Brother Qin, you haven't seen Brother Fu's family assets. If he takes one piece a day, Brother Fu won't be able to spend it all in his lifetime."
Sun Qian saw it and was also shocked.
Qin Shangqing has always known that Fu Cheng is very rich and his daily spending is over ten thousand taels. Ten thousand taels is difficult even for aristocratic families like them to come up with.
This person has been in Beijing for more than half a month. I heard that the amount in the early stage was 100,000 taels. If he spends this much, it will be enough for him to spend.
Now, after hearing Sun Qian's words, he became even more curious about Fu Cheng's property.
"The wealth my family has sent to the capital is just a drop in the bucket. Are we going to eat up all the wealth? Even if I skip gold on the water every day, it will be enough for me to have fun for the rest of my life." Fu Cheng's voice was lukewarm.
“…”
“…”
Qin Shangqing was shocked!
Can you play with gold like skipping stones for a lifetime?
Tsk, he couldn’t even imagine what the scene was like or how much funding there was.
Sun Qian was even more shocked. He had seen those properties with his own eyes last time, and they were more than the national treasury. Now, he said it so lightly, that those were just a drop in the bucket?
OMG.
How rich is the person in front of me?
If you hold on to this person tightly, it would be like holding a pile of gold, silver and treasures.
Regardless of whether it is saved or not, people can make more money by just throwing it away happily than by running a bank!
Ye Qianning leaned against the window with a smile on his face. It was the right choice to let Fu Cheng come. No one could enjoy this better than him. Spending money was also a skill.
If he doesn't handle it well, others will see the flaws, but Fu Chengjue doesn't need to act at all, he plays the role of a second-generation rich man to the fullest.
She clearly noticed that when Fu Cheng said "a drop in the bucket", Sang Qi's hand that was pinching the quilt by the window paused, and there was a change in Xingchen's eyes.
He seems to be very concerned about wealth, but it is also true that the Beili national treasury is almost emptied because of the monopoly of the Nanyuan Aquatic Products and Xianhai Tower business.
Heavy rainfall and severe flooding occur in the southern region every summer. If the imperial court does not allocate funds for disaster relief and dam construction, the floods will become more serious every year.
Emperor Beili has now handed all these matters over to Sang Qi to handle, and the main things he handles are disaster relief funds, disaster relief grain, and grain that comes from people without money!
So Sang Qi is very short of money now!
Fu Cheng is so high-profile, I'm afraid there is no one richer than him in the entire Beili Capital.
The person behind today's situation is Sang Qi!
It took Sun Qian and Qin Shangqing a while to come back to their senses from the overwhelming wealth.
The waiter brought a few pots of Immortal Drunk, and the charming maid at the back immediately came over to pour wine for Fu Cheng and held the glass to his lips.
Fu Cheng leaned lazily, took a sip, the aroma of wine overflowing and spreading in his mouth, squinting his eyes slightly, feeling slightly tipsy and comfortable——
“Brother Fu…”
"If Master Sun still wants to persuade me to save money, then please don't say anything. I heard a few years ago that Beili Capital is the most luxurious place, so I decided to settle down in Jing Capital." Fu Cheng took a sip of Xianrenzui and said, "I am here to spend money, not save money, haha..."
“…”
The corner of Sun Qian's mouth twitched. If he knew that his assets were so huge, he certainly would not come and make a fool of himself.
"Brother Fu, what business is your family in? How come you are so rich?" Qin Shangqing couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm..." Fu Cheng said nonchalantly: "Gold."
"Gold...gold?"
Is it still called business if there is gold?
"Specifically, it should be a gold mine." Fu Cheng said again.
"Gold mine?"
"Yes, my ancestors went to the border many years ago and accidentally discovered a gold mine. They gathered the clan members and started mining and refining. Since then, our family has become rich." Fu Cheng said concisely.
“Is it still being mined?”
"No, it's gone."
"That's right. Gold mines are very rare in the world. Beili also discovered a gold mine before, but it disappeared after two years of mining." Sun Qian said.
