"Sign money?" Yan Zhaoshi was stunned. He knew that Shizi money. Some people had put Shizi money in the old capital. He also heard that some wives and wives in some wealthy families would take out the silver that they didn't need for the time being to put Shizi money.

"Yes, it's the money for seals." Yan Jingxiu's eyes flashed, and his voice was a little more sincere. "I heard that the higher the family, the more they often borrow money for seals. During the holidays and the social services and social activities on weekdays, it is inevitable that there will be a time when they can't turn around. If you borrow money for acquaintances and relatives, it's different to borrow money for seals. This time, I borrowed it and paid it back when I have enough money. Without knowing it, the person who puts the money for seals wants to have a long-term business dealings and will keep secrets for customers. Besides, eight out of ten people can put the money for seals in the new capital city are ladies with honors. No one is more reliable than them. They are the least of those who want to be known to be placed by seals. To put it bluntly, this is a competition for profit with the people. When it comes to the ears of the Empress Dowager, they must be scolded."

Yan Zhaoshi's heart gradually became alive, and his frowning brows finally relaxed. In Yan Jingxiu's eyes, he knew that his second uncle was moved.

He continued: "The shop I know was opened last winter. The shopkeeper spoke with a Jiangnan accent. His waist was always slightly bent when he talked to people. The shopkeeper was also well-behaved. At first glance, he looked like a great man. The shopkeeper was eight out of ten, ninety-one, and the manager was in charge of the mansion."

Last winter, I came to Xinjing from Jiangnan. If I were not the family members of the court, no one would believe it.

People like the Yan family only fled to the capital this spring.

"Then...you're still sick, this..." Yan Zhaoshi was a little scared after having the experience of borrowing money today.

Yan Jingxiu has always been the most considerate thing with his second uncle. He struggled to hold up, and the little girl wanted to help him, but he didn't let him sit up by himself. Maybe he pulled the wound and his eyebrows moved involuntarily, and his face turned pale.

In Yan Zhaoshi's eyes, he felt even more and more uncomfortable. In such a huge family, only this nephew cares about him sincerely, and it is not in vain that he has regarded him as his own for the past few years.

"Ashu, if you have something to do, you have to recover from your injuries."

Yan Jingxiu took a long time to speak: "Uncle Second, I am still young and can hold on, but I am afraid I can't sit in a sedan chair. Please hire a mule cart. Awang and Acai support me. I can walk, I can."

Maybe it was too exhausting to sit and speak. After a few words, Yan Jingxiu's cheeks showed abnormal flushing. Yan Zhaoshi was startled and hurriedly reached out to try his forehead. After touching his nephew's, he touched his own, and then touched his nephew's. After repeating it several times, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't have a fever again.

"Ashu, Uncle Second knows that you are the most filial, but now there is nothing more important than your health. You just need to tell Uncle Second to the address of the shop, and Uncle Second can go there by himself."

"No, the second uncle...you are a juren, you..."

"Silly child, it is precisely because the second uncle is a juren, so the person who puts the seal money dares not insult me ​​lightly. You just need to rest assured to recover from the injury."

When Yan Zhaoshi was talking, he caught a glimpse of several books on the head of the bed. The top one was "Spring and Autumn Annals". He felt even more moved in his heart. Ashu was like him, and he worked so hard when he was young.

As soon as the next day was dawn, Yan Zhaoshi found the shop according to the address given by Yan Jingxiu, which was a silk shop.

Now that wars are in the south, the silk and satin woven by Suzhou and Hangzhou cannot be shipped, and the ones who can continue to sell satin are either from the previous inventory or from high-ranking companies.

Things like silk, silk, satin, etc. can be exchanged for money. Those families mobilized to move from the old capital, and left their houses and land, but they would not abandon the silk, satin in the warehouse. Although this thing is not as hard as gold and silver, it can be exchanged for money, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.

Yan Zhaoshi didn't understand the various things in this before, but when she heard Miss Youlan complain that the silk was too expensive, she couldn't bear to make new clothes. The ladies and wives from the old capital asked for too high prices, which made the silk in the new capital more and more expensive.

Yan Zhaoshi only remembered that when he came out of the old capital, Li Qiniang asked someone to carry twenty or thirty pieces of materials on the car. He felt that Li Qiniang was vulgar and vain, and at this time he was thinking about making clothes, so Li Qiniang did not bring them with him.

At that time, he felt a little sorry. If he had known this, he would have asked Li Qiniang to bring the materials with him. He would have picked a few of them to Miss Youlan.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhaoshi felt aroused his heart. By the way, did Li Qiniang really not bring those materials, or did she secretly hire a cart and horse to transport them to Xinjing?

If it were before, he would never doubt these things, but now, he has a new understanding of Li Qiniang. At this moment, in Yan Zhaoshi's view, no matter what Li Qiniang does, it is possible.

What else can't she do if she is such a treacherous and vicious woman?

The process of borrowing money was very smooth. The shopkeeper heard that he was a juren, but immediately agreed and asked him how much he wanted to borrow. Yan Zhaoshi had already thought about it on the way and said, "It's three thousand taels."

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was a little uncertain: "Yan Juren, do you really only borrow 3,000 taels? We are the rulers, and we do things according to the rules of the new capital. According to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, we will release money and debts, and pawn property, and make profits every month, and we will not be able to get three points. This is written in the law. Yan Juren, you know better than villains. We are less than these three points here, and the monthly profit is two points, but if it exceeds five thousand taels, it is one point, more than ten thousand taels, and only half points are collected. So, it is not cost-effective to borrow only three thousand taels, it is really not cost-effective. You read a lot, so there is no need to explain this. You understand, you understand it."

Although Yan Zhaoshi is not good at numerology, he can still calculate the simple amount of money. The profit of borrowing 5,000 taels is even less than borrowing 3,000 taels!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Borrow six thousand taels."

The silver, money and other items in the old lady Guo's box were more than 3,000 taels, and the six thousand taels were only a few hundred taels away. Yan Zhaoshi had four or five hundred taels in his hand, so it would be enough to let the other two houses get together.

With six thousand taels of silver notes in hand, Yan Zhaoshi returned to Luoguxiang. He originally wanted to avoid Mrs. Guo and Zeng and went directly to find Yan Jingxiu, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he ran into his niece Yan Xuejiao.

When Yan Xuejiao saw him, she burst into tears: "Uncle II, when will my father come back?"

She was the worst in the whole family. Her mother was beaten so hard that she could not get up, her brother was beaten so hard that she could not get up, and her father was locked in the yamen. I don’t know how much suffering she suffered.

She was pitiful, she was so pitiful, all of this was harmed by Yan Xuehuai. No, it was harmed by the second wife, and the second uncle also had a share.
