Allure emperor medical concubine

Chapter 797 of the same name
In the Ji family's mansion in Huai'an, Ji Liansheng, the uncle of the Ji family, was talking to the old lady in the upper room.

"Mother, Xiao Ning has been gone for almost three months, and there is no news at all. Should I send someone to look for it? This child will have fun everywhere when he runs out, so he is not afraid of his family's worry." Uncle Ji complained.

Mrs. Ji said calmly: "There is no need to look for it, and there is nothing to worry about. Only others suffer from her. When has she suffered from it?"

Uncle Ji said awkwardly, "It's true."

"Besides, isn't there still Xiwu and Ji Jiu? Don't worry about her, she can live happily for only a few years. When she gets married in the future, she will not be able to be so free." Mrs. Ji said the man.

Once a woman gets married, she has to stay at home and take care of her husband and children, and it is not appropriate to show her face, so go out now, as long as she is a grandmother, who would dare to say it?

Of course, Mrs. Ji has another thought in her heart, but it is inconvenient to tell others.

Xiao Ning is in a bad mood, going out to relax is better than staying at home all day and thinking wildly.

When Uncle Ji came out from the old lady, he was still uneasy after thinking about it, so he immediately ordered the Ji family's semicolons in various places to pay attention, and if they found Xiao Ning's whereabouts, follow them and send a message back quickly.

On this day, Lu Xiaoning and three salt merchants arrived in Tai'an.

Along the way, she had gotten to know the three salt merchants very well, and they were called brothers. One of them, a salt merchant surnamed Dong, tried to lure Lu Xiaoning back to be his son-in-law several times.

After everyone settled down, they went to the Tai'an government office. The government office had posted a notice saying that all salt merchants participating in the auction must first pay a deposit of 1 taels. If the auction is unsuccessful, the deposit will be refunded after the auction. .

The auction will be held in five days.

1 taels of silver is no different from an astronomical figure to ordinary people, but to salt merchants, 1 taels is really nothing.

The three salt merchants immediately went to pay the deposit, registered in the register, and received the number plate.

Lu Xiaoning was wondering if she would also pay 1 taels to go in and have fun. Anyway, if she didn’t win the auction in the end, the money will be refunded to you. Otherwise, the auction will not be able to enter, and you have to enter with the number plate , coming all the way, you can't just wait and see from the outside.

But she didn't bring so many bank notes with her on this trip.Lu Xiaoning thought for a while, and said to Xi Wu: "Let's go, let's go to Longyu Bank."

"My lord, don't you want to pay a deposit too? Do you really want to start a salt business?" Xiwu asked in astonishment.

"Just going in for fun, I'm not interested in the salt business." Lu Xiaoning said.

"However, the rules of the auction haven't come out yet, what if the auction succeeds by accident?" Xi Wu expressed concern.

"Then leave it to you." Lu Xiaoning said disapprovingly.

"My lord, I don't know how to do business." Xiwu was terrified, as if the young lady was really going to throw a big business to her, and suddenly felt a mountain on top of her head.

Seeing her flustered look, Lu Xiaoning couldn't help laughing, and deliberately teased her: "You don't even want it as a dowry?"

Xi Wu shook her head like a rattle: "I don't want it."

"Then give it to Ji Jiu as a wife." Lu Xiaoning glanced at Ji Jiu who was following behind.

Ji Jiu said with a bitter face: "My lord, don't bully the young ones. The young ones can't do anything except drive a carriage. The young one will drive the carriage for the young master for the rest of his life."

Lu Xiaoning watched the two people get scared, and shook his head silently, he didn't have any sense of humor, it wasn't fun.

Lu Xiaoning found Longyu Bank and took out the seal of Ji's family. The staff immediately invited the shopkeeper to come out. The shopkeeper looked at the seal and was sure it was real, so he enthusiastically invited Lu Xiaoning into the elegant room.

This Longyu bank is a joint venture of four of the seven families. It is currently one of the largest banks in Dazhou, with branches all over the country. The Ji family is also one of the shareholders. There is no limit to how much money can be withdrawn in semicolons in various places.

Of course, not everyone has this seal, there are only three in the family, and it is owned by either the head of the family or a very important person in the family.

In a small place like Tai'an, there is actually a seal, and the shopkeeper is of course very careful in serving it.

While Lu Xiaoning was drinking tea, the shopkeeper went to go through the cashing procedures in person. After a cup of tea, the 1 taels of silver bills arrived in Lu Xiaoning's hands.

Lu Xiaoning immediately went to pay the deposit and got the number plate, No. 16, which is an auspicious number.

Five days before the auction, Lu Xiaoning went to Mount Tai to play.

The last time I visited Mount Tai was in my previous life. I came here with my classmates in my freshman year, but it’s been a lifetime since I came again.

As for the branch of Ji's silk and satin shop in Tai'an, after Lu Xiaoning withdrew 1 taels of bank notes from Longyu Bank and left, he asked the person holding the seal about his age and appearance, and the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop confirmed that it was Lu Xiaoning. Undoubtedly, Flying Pigeon sent a letter to Master Ji in Huai'an.

Lu Xiaoning was still watching the sunrise on Mount Tai, and Zhao Yincheng also went to Tai'an as the Minister of Salt Affairs.

Tai'an was chosen as the first stop of salt affairs reform, and Zhao Yincheng had his own ideas.

Tai'an is rich in rock salt, Shu is rich in well salt, and Laizhou and other places are rich in sea salt. These places are the main areas supporting the Dazhou salt business, and the supply of sea salt is the largest, and Shu is too far away, so Tai'an is the first choice. Once the pilot is successful, it can be rolled out across the country.

Therefore, Zhao Yincheng attached great importance to this auction. When he arrived at the Tai'an government office, he asked the magistrate to bring the roster to see how many people signed up for it.

Master Su, the prefect, presented the roster cheerfully, and said with a smile: "My lord, there are quite a few salt merchants who have come this time. As of today, 61 people have paid deposits. It is estimated that there will be more salt merchants coming."

When Zhao Yincheng heard this number, his heart sank more than half.

Originally, he was worried that the time was short, the publicity was not strong enough, and too few people came, so it would be boring.

There are more than 60 people, and they can barely see the past. These people are farsighted and know how to seize business opportunities!

Zhao Yincheng opened the roster, and Abe handed over tea: "Master, drink some tea to warm up your body first."

Zhao Yincheng took it casually, and looked at the roster while drinking tea.

Suddenly, Zhao Yincheng spat out a mouthful of tea and opened his eyes wide.

No. 16 on the roster, with Lu Xiaoning's name impressively written on it.

Is it the same name or the same person?

"My lord, drink slowly." The magistrate was standing in front of Zhao Yincheng. Zhao Yincheng just sprayed his face with a sip of tea, but he didn't dare to be annoyed. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, and he had to persuade him carefully.

It was only now that Zhao Yincheng realized that he had just sprayed tea on the prefect's face.

He said embarrassingly, "Master Su, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay." The magistrate smiled.

Zhao Yincheng passed the teacup to the side, and Abe quickly took it.

"Master Su, where is the salt merchant Lu Xiaoning written on it?" Zhao Yincheng asked, pointing to Lu Xiaoning's name.
