"Not at all, quickly take the princess to rest." General Jin waved his hand repeatedly at Ah Xiang.
The princess fainted innocently in her own residence, which is no small matter.
"Gentlemen, I apologize. I'm going to check on the princess. Please make yourselves at home."
Seeing that the princess had suddenly fainted, General Jin and Madam Jin lost all interest in discussing Jin Jinzhi's marriage.
Lord Dong and Lord Feng had no choice but to give up.
Chaos erupted during the banquet as timid officials, fearing trouble, quickly led their families towards the door.
"Master, Madam, someone from the palace has arrived!"
The butler rushed in.
"The palace?"
Did the palace find out about the princess's accident so quickly?
Several ministers stopped in their tracks, wanting to stay and watch the spectacle.
"They said they've come to fetch the princess back to the palace," the steward replied.
"Madam Jin, General Jin, I instructed them to wait for this sedan chair at this time when I left the palace."
Ah Xiang had hoped that the sedan chair would arrive early so that the princess could ride back to the palace after the banquet.
Unexpectedly, the princess hadn't even had a few bites of the hot food before eating some pastries and pretending to faint so early.
[Alright, let's just take the sedan chair back to the palace. If we wait too long, the princess's feigned fainting will definitely be exposed.]
"The banquet was quite disruptive, so I will take the princess back to the palace first. There will be imperial physicians to treat her."
Ah Xiang quickly bowed, and General Jin and Madam Jin waved their hands repeatedly.
"Father, Mother, I'm escorting the princess back to the palace." Jin Jinzhi frowned, her face full of worry.
"General Jin, please wait. I came here today to congratulate Madam Jin, but I didn't expect this to happen."
"There is a royal physician on the carriage who will treat the princess, and two of His Majesty's Tiger Guards are also present. General Jin, please rest assured that the princess is safe."
Jin Jinzhi carried Yun Duoduo into the carriage, and only after seeing two Tiger Guards nearby did she feel relieved and leave.
"good."
...
The carriage quickly left the street in front of the Jin residence.
Ah Xiang lifted the curtain and looked outside to make sure no one was following her before whispering in Yun Duoduo's ear, "Princess, everyone's gone."
"You can get up now."
Yun Duoduo opened her eyes and gasped for breath.
"Quick, is there any water? Give me a drink."
I had been pretending to be unconscious, but I was breathing normally. Otherwise, Jin Jin, with her profound internal strength and high martial arts skills, would definitely have noticed something was wrong.
Ah Xiang found a kettle in the sedan chair, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Yun Duoduo.
"Ah, I'm so thirsty!" Yun Duoduo gulped down several mouthfuls of water.
"Princess, drink slowly."
"Princess, why did you pretend to faint just now?"
Ah Xiang really didn't understand. She thought about it again and again, and realized that the discussion at the banquet was about General Xiao Jin's marriage, which had nothing to do with the princess or the palace.
Why is the princess reacting this way? She seems quite nervous.
Yun Duoduo swallowed hard. Of course, she couldn't say that she didn't want her handsome brother to get married so early and fall into the arms of other girls.
[You can't get married so young!]
"Aunt Xiang, think about it, there are three great joys in life: passing the imperial examination, getting married, and having a house full of children and grandchildren!"
"If it were Brother Jinzhi, he would have gotten married much earlier and would have been so happy that he would have forgotten all about home and would have been thinking about his wife and children."
Yun Duoduo said in a very serious tone.
"Wouldn't Father Emperor lose a capable assistant then?!"
"Without Brother Jin's help, could the bandits and mountain brigands have been wiped out so easily? Could the northern frontier have been pacified so easily?"
Yun Duoduo even believed what she said.
Ah Xiang's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
“The princess is right.”
As the carriage sped back to the palace, Yun Duoduo fell into deep thought.
She could stop him once or twice, but her brother Jinzhi was getting on in years, and there would certainly be many marriage proposals in the future.
What should she do?
...
Three days later, on Chang'an Street, the most bustling street in the capital, the cabinets, tables and chairs inside the money exchange had been set up. Yun Yishu, Yun Duoduo, Su Buqing, Song Yuanbao and others gathered on the second floor of the money exchange early in the morning.
Although Yun Duoduo was worried about Jin Jinzhi's marriage, she still had to focus on her career and make money.
Since there were hardly any customers in the morning, the two managers, Liao Ziwan and Chu Dunshi, arrived at the money exchange. They set out some food they had bought from outside on the table on the second floor.
"Boss, everything is ready now, we're just waiting to open for business!"
"Very well, Brother Su, Brother Song, let's toast you both with tea instead of wine. From now on, the bank will depend on you!"
"Definitely, definitely."
Su Buqing smiled with narrowed eyes and returned the cup of tea.
"Don't worry, manager, we will definitely make Duoduo Money House the number one in the capital!"
"This tea smells wonderful!"
Yun Duoduo looked at the group with a smile. She had brought some fine Biluochun tea with her today, knowing that these older shopkeepers loved to drink tea.
"Oh, right, this is a savings account book that I had the artists at the painting studio make. It's for depositing money, and you can record the amount in this book."
"The young master instructed a while ago that everyone who comes to deposit money must be given an account book and interest."
Yun Duoduo smiled and nodded.
At first, Chu Dunshi thought Yun Duoduo was just joking, but later he gradually realized that what his little master said made a lot of sense.
Chu Dunshi took out a door brochure from his sleeve: "I had the painters in the painting studio make four kinds, one pink and one blue. The pink one is for the female customers, and the blue one is for the male customers."
"Young master, that's a great idea."
Su Buqing offered polite compliments.
"Young master, your idea is brilliant!"
Song Yuanbao exclaimed in admiration as he took the household registration document. “It’s clear that the artist put a lot of thought into it. Brother Chu, from now on, we should use this kind of document for our household registration documents! Excellent, have the artists make more.”
Yun Duoduo looked at the passbook and thought it was indeed very beautifully drawn. In modern times, before electronic bank cards and electronic payments existed, she used passbooks to save money.
"well."
"Oh? So these two with gold trim are for our distinguished guests?"
Su Buqing looked at the other two household registration documents on the table.
"Brother Su, you have a good eye. This one with the gold trim is for the big customers."
Chu Dunshi handed the household registration document to Su Buqing and nodded.
"Excellent, excellent, very good."
Yun Yishu also thought this thing was very good.
"Yes, this is the seal of Jinsheng Money Shop. I only had one made by the artist."
"This seal is carved very finely, with many details inside. If someone else wanted to imitate it, they would not be able to make an exact copy."
Chu Dunshi held up the seal, showing it to everyone as he spoke.
Su Buqing took the seal from Chu Dunshi and examined it closely. "Indeed, this seal is exquisitely carved."
