Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 647: Seven Hundred and Four: Money Bank
Xiangyang, Prince Wei's Mansion, study.

It was scorching hot in June. The sun was particularly hot after noon and cicadas were chirping non-stop among the dense leaves.

The houses in the courtyard were built with green bricks and black tiles, looking as lush as bamboos. In the study, Chen Mo was joking with Ning Wan. As an experienced person, Ning Wan's body had grown up a long time ago, and after Chen Mo's training over the past few years, she had already taken on Chen Mo's shape.

At this moment, Chen Mo was much more cheerful than when he was being affectionate with Xiao Ya last night. The beauty also knew how to stir up Chen Mo's emotions and actively cooperated.

The familiar feeling spread throughout her body, making Ning Wan feel almost dizzy. That rosy and beautiful face was like a ripe peach, emitting a fragrance, which made Chen Mo couldn't help but bite it.

Ning Wan only felt her cheeks itchy, and then she turned her head away, looking for Chen Mo's lips, and took the initiative to kiss him. Because Chen Mo leaned down too much, Ning Wan's knees directly touched her shoulders, and her delicate nose under the wing of her nose let out an unconscious moan.

Chen Mo stood up slightly to make it easier to unbutton the cheongsam.

But I don’t know if it’s because they have been separated for too long, causing Ning Wan to miss Chen Mo too much, or it’s because of her special physique, but as soon as the buttons of her clothes were unbuttoned, Ning Wan’s delicate body trembled slightly a few times, and her longing for Chen Mo burst out like a torrent of river, and the hand that was grabbing Chen Mo’s robe was also let go weakly.

Chen Mo lowered his eyes to look at the beautiful woman with a bright and rosy face. His expression froze for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "When did you switch to practicing water-based skills?"

Hearing this, Ning Wan, who already knew she had lost her composure, had her plump, white face suddenly glowing red, like the sunset glow in the sky when the sun sets. Seeing the young man staring at her with burning eyes, she quickly raised her hands to cover her face, and said in a soft and charming voice with a hint of tears: "Husband, don't look at me. It's so embarrassing."

"Don't worry, I will only tell Xue'er about this." Chen Mo gently held Ning Wan's hand, then interlocked their fingers and teased.

Although she knew that Chen Mo was joking, she had a special relationship with Liang Xue after all. She was a little anxious when she heard this and said in a trembling voice: "Don't tell Xue'er."

Chen Mo chuckled and said softly, "Then why not tell Xue'er and talk to An Niang. It just so happens that she has the same situation as you, and you two will have something in common to talk about then."

Ning Wan: "???"

This would be even more socially destructive than telling Liang Xue.

Ning Wan glared at the smiling young man, a hint of shame and anger appeared in her eyes, and said, "If you tell me, I will never wear clothes from Yi Mei Yi Si to show you again."

Chen Mo smiled, and a playful look appeared on his handsome face. He deliberately said, "Then I'll find Xue'er and ask her to wear it for me."

Ning Wan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she said angrily, "Then I'll go find Xue'er and ask her to take off her clothes for you to see. Let's see who you want to see."

Ning Wan's voice revealed some of the nature of a little girl. Her face showed anger and shame, but in her heart she felt a bit of pleasure in bickering.

"The number of clothes the family wants for me to wear is so great that I can't even count them on my ten fingers." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Ning Yuan: "..."

Maybe she was really annoyed, so she said, "Then find someone else to wear it. I won't wear it anymore."

As he said this, he lowered his legs and prepared to go on strike.

However, the young man lifted her up all of a sudden and said with a smile: "Well, you can leave when you are satisfied. Your husband hasn't gotten what he wants yet."

"Go find another sister."

"Okay, let's stop making trouble. I won't tell anyone about this." Chen Mo stopped playing around with Ning Wan and got down to business.

Ning Wan snorted softly, but she felt very sweet and happy in her heart. Is it true that a couple has a life with quarrels and fights?

The two were inseparable, and even when the inkstone on the desk was shaken and fell to the ground with a crisp sound, neither of them cared.

After a long time, Chen Mo sat on the stool, breathing slightly.

Ning Wan was lying on the desk, her two beautiful legs hanging limply from the edge of the desk, her clothes were exposed, her skin was fair and attractive, her rosy cheeks were sweaty, her hair was messy with many strands still stuck to her cheeks, her eyes were watery, she was full of charm, and the high heels on her feet had fallen away long ago.

Chen Mo glanced at the calligraphy treasures scattered on the ground, especially the broken pen holder and inkstone, and chuckled: "These are all cultural relics from the previous dynasty, worth a lot of silver, and they were broken like this."

"Who told you to do that?" Ning Wan's face was as red as rouge and she was very shy. She said immediately, "Don't worry. Sister Mi knows that you are not serious and has replaced the cultural treasures in your study a long time ago. The broken ones are all imitations."

Chen Mo: "..."

He grabbed the little foot in front of him, which was swaying gently but as tender as a bamboo shoot, and played with it carefully. Ning Wan's delicate body trembled, and she instinctively retracted her foot. Chen Mo couldn't let go and said lovingly, "Wan'er, what do you think can make money quickly?"

In the morning, Wei Linchun and the local county magistrate came to him to report on the situation in their jurisdiction. The main problem was the lack of money, and they hoped that the court would allocate funds.

The money Chen Mo gave last time was just to fill the gap. There is still no money in Linzhou’s account.

In particular, Wei Linchun told him that at the beginning of summer this year, the two counties along the coast of Linzhou and next to the important town of Xunwang were hit by floods in the Huai River, which led to the destruction of the embankments. The two counties suffered from floods and destroyed many houses. Wei Linchun withdrew all the silver in the account to provide disaster relief and build embankments.

Now Linzhou is out of money.

"Robbery." Ning Wan blurted out subconsciously.

"Pa!" Chen Mo raised his hand and patted Ning Wan's thigh, saying, "I'm talking to you seriously. You're talking about robbery? I'm not a bandit."

"Gambling house." Ning Wan thought for a moment and said, "Opening a gambling house is a very profitable business. There is no other way to make money faster than this."

Chen Mo: "..."

Although the Song Dynasty did not ban gambling houses, it also did not encourage or support the opening of gambling houses, so gambling houses were considered a gray industry. It would be so embarrassing for him, the King of Wei, to open a gambling house.

"Besides the gambling house?" Chen Mo asked again.

Seeing that Chen Mo was not asking casually, Ning Wan's expression became serious. After thinking for a while, she said, "Money bank."

"Money shop."

Ning Wan's words immediately opened Chen Mo's mind. Yes, why didn't he think of this.

Money shop, also called bank in Chen Mo's previous life, is a very profitable industry. Specifically, it earns the interest rate difference by accepting deposits and issuing loans.

Moreover, the money houses of the Song Dynasty also had another feature, which was that they issued their own silver notes. These silver notes could be exchanged in different places, which facilitated transactions for the people and increased the income of the money houses.

But how can we get people to deposit their money in banks?

The most important thing is trust and safety.

Especially those of an official nature, which are more reliable in the minds of the people.

And Chen Mo can do all of these now.
