13. Chapter 13 Agency Service
The coachman was already waiting at the door. At Song Yu's request, he arranged for Ruixue and her daughter to leave through the side door to avoid being embarrassed by others.
After all, Ruixue was not an ancient person. It didn't mean much to her whether she should go through the front door or the side door. However, Qiao Zi felt sorry for her, but she didn't show it. She was worried that her daughter's grievance for her would cause unnecessary problems.
"Madam, I have some friendship with the innkeeper of Yuelai Inn. How about I ask the coachman to take you to Yuelai Inn so that the innkeeper can take care of you."
"Don't bother Butler Zhao, we have our own place to go." Qiao Zi calmly refused Butler Zhao's help, and took a souvenir look at the place where she had lived for more than ten years. Her husband must have been entangled by someone at this moment, or on purpose.
He arranged it. He didn’t want them to meet. This was fine, so as not to create any complications. “Coachman, let’s go.”
"Yes, madam." The driver walked straight along the road, leaving Song Mansion behind, "Madam, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Juxian Tower." Qiao Zi thought for a moment and replied. She has a lot of property at the moment. Juxian Tower is the property of the Shangguan family, the head of the five major families. It is also the most famous restaurant in the capital. There is no need to worry about going there.
Some people have ideas against her and her daughter. After all, no one dares to challenge the Shangguan family.
"Okay, ma'am."
Juxian Tower is a restaurant that integrates dining and accommodation. The guest rooms in the restaurant are divided into ordinary rooms and superior rooms. Ordinary rooms cost one tael a day, while superior rooms cost 10 taels a day. After hearing this, Ruixue couldn't help but stick out her tongue. The consumption in the capital is different.
, one day's worth of money for a superior guest room is her monthly pocket money. Looking at it this way, she and Qiao Zi don't seem to be rich. She only thinks that ordinary people only need ten taels a year to live, but she doesn't think that this is the capital and the expenses cannot be
Based on the lowest standards, I should have asked Song Yu for more.
"Give us mother and daughter an ordinary guest room." Qiao Zi thought that there would be a lot of money to spend in the future, so she would save as much as possible.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, our ordinary guest rooms are full, and now we only have superior guest rooms." The second brother said politely, with a very professional quality, and did not change his expression at all because Qiao Zi said that he wanted to stay in an ordinary guest room.
.
"Then give us a first-class guest room." Thinking about the management of Juxian Building, Qiao Zi reluctantly asked for a first-class room.
"Okay, Madam, please." The waiter took all the packages for Qiao Zi and Ruixue and led the way upstairs. The superior guest rooms began with Tianzi No. 8. Ruixue and her daughter were taken to Tianzi No. 8, "Madam,
This is your room. The waiter’s surname is Qiu, and he is known as Qiu Xiaoer. If you two need anything, you only need to ring the bell on the bedside, and the waiter will come upstairs to take your orders."
"Okay, you go down first, we will call you if anything happens."
"Okay." Qiu Xiaoer nodded and left, and closed the door for Qiao Zi and Qiao Zi in an understanding manner.
"Xue'er, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?" After watching the waiter leave, Qiao Zi looked back at her daughter and looked at the room, and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not tired, mother." Ruixue looked at the room curiously. This Tian-size room was very spacious. Juxian Building should be an ancient version of a five-star restaurant. She liked the antique decoration very much, and the waiter's attitude was also
Very comfortable, "By the way, Mom, it's too obvious that we have these packages with us. Let's go to the pawn shop and exchange these things for banknotes during these days."
"Well, okay." Qiao Zi looked at her daughter with a smile. She wanted to go with him. She knew that wealth should not be exposed. She was really a smart child. "Mom thought so too."
"Do you know which pawn shop in this capital has a better reputation?"
"I'm not sure, why don't I call the second brother to ask later?"
"Okay, he stays in the restaurant every day to receive all kinds of guests, so he will definitely hear a lot of gossip." Ruixue nodded in agreement and shook the bell on the bedside, "I'll call him."
She wanted to see when Qiu Xiaoer would arrive here after she rang the bell.
"Madam, Miss, are you there, little Qiu Xiaoer?"
Ruixue calculated based on her own time. In less than half a minute, Qiu Xiaoer's voice appeared at the door.
"It's pretty fast." Looking at Qiao Zi, Ruixue muttered, "Come in."
"Madam, what are your orders?" Qiu Xiaoer opened the door and said respectfully.
"Little brother, we want to ask you something." Ruixue said.
"Miss, please speak."
"My mother and I have a batch of delicates that we don't like very much. I want to get rid of them and exchange them for silver. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Hearing this, Qiu Xiaoer said respectfully, "It depends on what Madam and Miss want. If you don't want this batch of soft goods anymore, there are two ways. One is to pawn them at a pawn shop, and the other is to go to the store where you bought them or the same place where you bought them.
Some stores require them to recycle items such as gold and silver jewelry. Most gold and silver jewelry stores will recycle them. If they are sold from their own store, the recycling price will be more expensive than outside.
If Madam wants to take back this lot of silk in the future, she can go to the pawn shop to pawn it."
"We have a large variety of things, and it would be troublesome to recycle them in the store. We don't like these things, and it would be annoying to keep them at home, so we might as well just throw them away. Brother, do you know that this city is more fair and unfair?"
What are the pawnshops that cheat customers?”
"Miss, you are asking the right person. Although I, the waiter, stay in this restaurant every day, I am very familiar with the affairs of the capital. Our Juxian Building is the largest building in the capital. It is overcrowded every day, and everyone
The topic of conversation during the meal had nothing to do with the capital. The waiter listened a lot and took notes. To say that there are three pawn shops with good reputation and strength in the capital..." Mentioning what he knew, Qiu Qiu
The waiter intends to show himself in front of the beautiful lady and lovely young lady. There is no end to his words. He explained in detail, "Madam and young lady are VIP guests of our restaurant when they enter our restaurant. Our restaurant has regulations and we will do everything possible to satisfy our guests."
If the request is inconvenient for Madam to go out or come forward, we can handle it on behalf of Madam until everything is completed, and we can guarantee that the price given by the pawnshop is definitely the most reasonable."
"Then will you keep our information confidential?"
"Absolute confidentiality." Qiu Xiaoer promised, patting his chest.
"Then if we want you to do it for us, what fees will we have to pay?" Ruixue asked, but she didn't expect that this ancient restaurant would have such a service.
"This is the service of our restaurant. According to the regulations, we cannot ask for tips from guests, but if Madam is kind and willing to give some, the waiter will be grateful."
"In this case, let's leave this matter to the second brother. Don't worry, we will never lose you after the matter is completed. As for our information, we have to ask the second brother to keep it confidential.
"Qiao Zi looked at the waiter happily. It is best to be able to handle this matter without having to come forward. She and Xue'er already have a lot of money on them. If they pawn the things around them, it will be a huge sum.
Chapter completed!
