Chapter 329 Repeated setbacks

  Huang Zhanwu nodded, and handed the two things in his hand to the servant. The boy took it.

  Jun Li also handed the four hairpins to the servant, who took it respectfully, then turned around and said, "You two ladies, please follow me."

   Several people came to a table and chairs on the second floor, Junli and the two sat down, and soon a servant came over to serve tea to them.

   "Miss, please wait a moment, the younger one will come as soon as he goes." The smile on the boy's face was just right, neither flattering nor humble.

  Huang Zhanwu waved his hands, then picked up the teacup and drank it lightly.

   Before finishing a cup of tea, the servant who had just left came over with six exquisite sandalwood boxes in his hands.

Putting the two sandalwood boxes in front of Huang Zhanwu, he said, "The red jade glass hairpin is 16,300 taels, and the gold inlaid jade and silver cloud belt is 10,000 taels, so the total is 26,300 taels. Since Miss came here yesterday, she is considered a regular customer, so I will count 26,000 taels for you."

   The boy said with a smile on his face, and Huang Zhanwu took out the 30,000 taels of silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the boy without any hesitation.

The boy took it away, put the remaining four sandalwood boxes in front of Junli, and said, "Miss, the price of the four hairpins you brought is the same, each hairpin is 18,000 taels, four hairpins The total is 72,000 taels. Since this is the first time for Miss to come to our Zhenbao Pavilion, it can be considered as a compliment to our Zhenbao Pavilion, so I will give you a total of 72,000 taels."

  Hearing this, Junli nodded, took out a 70,000 taels of silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the boy.

   Fortunately, she has the habit of bringing a large amount of bank notes every time she goes out, otherwise she would have to come here at night to get them.

  The young man took the bank note, turned and left. Soon walked back again.

  Put the four hundred taels of silver note in front of Huang Zhanwu, "Find your silver note."

  Huang Zhanwu nodded, put the two sandalwood boxes in his sleeves, turned around and went downstairs with Junli.

   I've been on the second floor for half an hour, and I didn't expect that when I came down, the downstairs was even more lively than before.

   At the same time, it also let Junli see that there are so many wealthy families in this capital. No wonder since ancient times, whether it is a big country or a small country, the capital is the most prosperous. Now it seems that the prosperity is supported by these wealthy families.

"How, didn't you expect it?" Huang Zhanwu said suddenly, "I didn't expect that there are so many rich and noble people in your Beirong Kingdom. It seems that Beirong Kingdom is the first of the five countries, and it is not unreasonable Just with so many rich and noble people, our Zhongyi country can't catch up."

  Jun Li couldn't help giving her a blank look, "No matter how rich you are, you don't have money."

  Huang Zhanwu pouted, "What is my little money? Compared with your private warehouse, I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket."

  Jun Li laughed, "You are wrong about that."

  Hearing this, Huang Zhanwu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What do you mean?"

   "Actually, my private warehouse..." Junli suddenly paused, and said, "There is not even a tael of silver in it." This sentence is true.

"How is it possible!" Huang Zhanwu's face was unbelievable, "Bei Rong is the richest country. Every year, tributes from various countries, gifts from ministers, and things donated by officials from all over the world. Don't call yourself poor. .”

   Obviously, Huang Zhanwu didn't believe it at all.

  Jun Li laughed. "Some time ago, I rewarded 300,000 troops in the frontier with the silver taels in my private warehouse. Tell me, how much is left?"

  Actually, the silver in Junli’s private treasury is incomparably rich. Not to mention anything else, it is the gifts often sent by the emperor of Dongyue Kingdom, which is innumerable. Not to mention the others.

  The reason why there is not much left is because the money in it was taken out by Junli to do business.

   Now the business is booming, and the daily silver earned by all industries is almost the same as the silver in her original private treasury.

  However, Junli did not move the money earned into his own private warehouse, but asked Royal Physician Luo to take it to help her open branches in various parts of Beirong Kingdom, and even in various countries.

   There are three purposes for doing this.

  One is to get more profits. The second is to observe the movements of various countries and the situation in various places for her. The third is just in case, there is at least a way out in the future.

   "No, what about you just now?" Huang Zhanwu was puzzled.

   "The 70,000 taels just now is my last cash." Jun Li blinked and shrugged.

  Hearing this, Huang Zhanwu glanced around, and suddenly leaned into Junli's ear and said, "Actually, the thirty thousand taels just now is also my last bit of money."

  Hearing this, Jun Li raised his eyes to look at her, but saw a trace of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

   There was a smile on the corner of his lips, "It seems that we are on the same path now."

  Huang Zhanwu nodded, "They all changed from rich to poor."

  Jun Li smiled lowly, but suddenly remembered something, "You haven't told me, you are going to Qionghua Pavilion, why are you here?"

  Hearing this, Huang Zhanwu shrugged, with a look of frustration on his face.

"Recently, when I came to your Beirong country, I really suffered repeated setbacks. You can forget about it, but that man in Nangong Lingyan is actually better than me. Where can I put my face on?" Huang Zhanwu gritted her teeth, eyes There was a lot of frustration in it.

   "And then?" Jun Li raised his eyebrows.

  Huang Zhanwu was suddenly discouraged, "I went to Qionghua Pavilion this morning, but I still need to answer a question correctly to enter there. I..."

   Speaking of this, she froze, "My answer is wrong."

  Hearing this, a smile flashed across Jun Li's eyes, "What topic is it that stumps you too?"

  As soon as that topic was mentioned, Huang Zhanwu became energetic.

  "The question was ingenious. Ask me what eggs can't be eaten, and then I just thought about it, and finally found that there are no eggs that can't be eaten. Then...I failed." When she said this, she lowered her eyes.

  Jun Li endured a smile, "Do you want to know the answer?"

  Huang Zhanwu's eyes lit up, looked at Junli, and said excitedly, "You know?"

   Junli nodded, "Of course."

   "Then tell me quickly." Huang Zhanwu grabbed Junli's arm and said excitedly.

  Jun Li glanced at her sleeve and said, "Bring it."

   "What did you bring?" Huang Zhanwu was puzzled, completely unable to keep up with Junli's thinking.

  Can't help but give her a blank look, "Of course it's a silver ticket!"

  Hearing this, Huang Zhanwu was astonished, "You told me that the answer still needs money?"

   "Nonsense!" Junli yawned, "The so-called sisters have to settle accounts clearly, let alone we are not sisters."

  Huang Zhanwu was speechless, took out a hundred taels of silver ticket and said, "Here you are."

  Jun Li pouted, "Four hundred taels."

  The corners of Huang Zhanwu's mouth twitched, but he still handed over the remaining three hundred taels of silver notes to Junli.

  Jun Li pursed his lips and was about to speak when he was bumped by the crowd unexpectedly. Then an unbelievable voice sounded.

   "... Your Majesty?"
