What Hongfu Nu fears most is that her daughter will betray others with her wrong heart.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Li." Zhao Chen cupped his hands and just said this.
Back then, when Hong Funu drew her sword and asked him indiscriminately, Zhao Chen was not so easy to forget.
Hongfu Nu naturally knew what Zhao Chen was thinking and frowned.
But he didn't want to get angry in front of his daughter, so he said: "What do you want to do when you come here today?"
Li Ruoshuang helped Zhao Chen sit down.
"I came here today to borrow five thousand guans from your mansion!"
"What? How much? Five thousand strings? Are you kidding me?" As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, he saw the girl standing up.
Li Jing, who was hiding behind and eavesdropping, felt his knees weak at this moment and almost fell down.
Li Jing thought Zhao Chen was here to find him, so he came over to listen.
There might be a way to deal with it later.
But who knew that Zhao Chen was here to borrow money.
And the opening is five thousand strings!
Five thousand guan, this is to empty out his palace!
"Zhao Chen, do you think my palace is worth five thousand gold?" Hongfu Nu looked at Zhao Chen.
He secretly wondered if Zhao Chen was crazy, asking for so much money?
"If it's difficult, then..."
"Mother, don't we have..." Li Ruoshuang looked at Hongfu Nu and was about to say.
"Shut up, that's the dowry your father saved for you, five thousand guan. Do you want to give it to this brat?" Hongfu Nu said coldly.
She and Li Jing have saved a lot of money over the years.
Li Jing has made outstanding contributions, and both the late emperor and the current majesty rewarded him with many things.
The two of them didn't want to do anything, so they thought of leaving everything to Li Ruoshuang as dowry.
In this way, at least Li Ruoshuang will not be looked down upon after she gets married.
But now, Li Ruoshuang wants to lend her dowry to Zhao Chen.
Crazy, one or two, all of them are crazy!
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Li, I don't know about this. It was Zhao Chen who disturbed me today, so I'll take my leave first!" Zhao Chen was also stunned for a moment, then stood up and cupped his hands.
He didn't expect that the reason why Li Ruoshuang vowed that all the five thousand guan would be on her body.
He wanted to give her dowry to himself!
Zhao Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.
While I was moved, I also felt that I was going a little too far!
Then he stood up and said goodbye.
"Zhao Chen, wait a moment." Li Ruoshuang stopped Zhao Chen.
"Mother, since the dowry will be given to the daughter sooner or later, why not let the daughter use it to do business."
"If you make money..."
"How can you make money? That's five thousand guan. If you lose money, what will you do?" Hong Funu interrupted Li Ruoshuang impatiently.
"If we lose money, my daughter's future affairs will all be decided by her mother!" Li Ruoshuang said coldly immediately.
Zhao Chen frowned, he didn't think it was necessary for Li Ruoshuang to do this for him.
"Miss Ruoshuang——"
"I have made up my mind, Zhao Chen, I believe in you!" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen and said firmly.
Zhao Chen's heart suddenly jumped.
He opened his mouth, and he was so eloquent, but he couldn't say anything at this moment.
"Okay, girl, this is what you said. I can give you five thousand guan, but even if you lose a penny in the end..."
"No, as long as I can't take out 10,000 yuan and return it to Miss Ruoshuang after one month, Zhao Chen will disappear from Chang'an City!" Zhao Chen glanced at Hongfu Nu and took out a contract from his arms.
It was agreed above that if Zhao Chen could not return the 10,000 yuan of silver after one month, everything in the Wangyou Tavern would belong to the Duke of Wei.
"Good boy, if you have the guts, girl and I will go get the money!" Hong Fu Nu looked at the contract, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
…
"Zhao Chen, actually my mother doesn't have any special meaning, she just..."
On the way, Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen were together.
There was a box hanging on the foal's body, which was filled with gold leaves.
It’s worth five thousand guan in total!
Li Ruoshuang hesitated to speak, worried that Zhao Chen would hate his mother because of this.
"It's okay, I understand. Compared to that time when your mother came directly to the door and put a sword on my neck, this time it was much gentler!" Zhao Chen waved his hands with a smile on his face.
"Miss Ruoshuang, thank you!" Zhao Chen looked at Li Ruoshuang and said slowly.
"How can I thank you? Since you helped me, I am naturally willing to help you!" Li Ruoshuang said with joy on her face.
Zhao Chen shook his head, not knowing what he felt in his heart.
With five thousand guan, Li Ruoshuang didn't even know what she was going to do with it.
But he still agreed without hesitation.
He even made a promise with Hong Fu Nu.
"Actually, this time, I collected a total of 30,000 yuan!"
"Thirty thousand guans? Zhao Chen, what are you doing?" Li Ruoshuang was also frightened by this number.
Thirty thousand guan!
Is Zhao Chen planning to buy the entire street in Pingkangfang?
"Collect food and make a small profit!" Zhao Chen smiled and continued walking forward.
…
The two of them were walking towards Dongshi when they saw Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu walking towards them.
One person was holding a box in his hand, holding it tightly in his arms carefully.
Behind him were hundreds of coolies.
"Zhao Chen!" Cheng Chumo shouted to Zhao Chen.
Qin Huaiyu next to him also waved.
"The help is here, let's go over!" Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said.
"Zhao Chen, your brother and I have risked our lives today. The old man is not at home and has gone to court. I have broken open all his secret rooms."
"Hey, gold leaves worth three thousand guan." Cheng Chumo said to Zhao Chen with a stern look.
Zhao Chen had a look of emotion on his face.
If Cheng Yaojin knew this news, Cheng Chumo would definitely be beaten to death.
But he still...
"Brother, I'm different. My father was resting at home. He heard that he wanted to do business with you, so he brought me the money without saying a word!" Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.
But when he walked over just now, Zhao Chen clearly saw that something was wrong with his posture.
Obviously, this matter is not as easy as Qin Huaiyu said.
"Thank you. After a month, I guarantee that you will wake up laughing from your dreams!" Zhao Chen put his arms around their shoulders and said softly.
…
East Market is the largest grain sales place in Chang'an City.
The grains hoarded by the five surnames and Qiwang, as well as the grains brought by outside merchants, are all sold here.
Grain prices are now stable, and with the upcoming autumn harvest, grain prices are even on a downward trend.
A bucket of rice costs four cents and five cents.
Thirty thousand guan can buy more than 700,000 stone rice.
The 1.5 million people in Chang'an City consume a terrifying amount of food every day.
But even if it is only two cents more per bucket of rice.
The final amount of money that can be earned is also a figure that is difficult to calculate.
"This young master, are you here to buy grain?" The shopkeeper of the grain shop saw Zhao Chen standing outside his shop and greeted him with a smile.
Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, this food is not easy to sell.
The morning passed, and all the people who came were ordinary people.
Where have so many people come here?
"Shopkeeper, what's the price of this grain today?" Zhao Chen grabbed a handful of rice and asked casually.?
