Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 293: The banknote has no mark

I also had the mentality of "if you can't afford to offend, you can afford to avoid me". I had lived in the Marquis' Mansion for three years, and except for greeting Madam Han when they met in Songhe Hall, I had never gone to Changfeng Garden to take the initiative to approach Madam Han.

Besides, Hua Lei didn't quite understand her own thoughts at this moment. Rong Jin was indeed a good person and very down-to-earth and hardworking. He was not like some other playboys who played with cats and dogs all day and did not do their jobs properly.

Rong Jin passed the Autumn Examination which ended at the end of August and will take part in the Spring Examination next spring. At his age, he is already very good. However, when Hua Lei thinks of Rong Jin's identity, she will unconsciously avoid him.

I don't know why Rong Jin gave me so much money today. Isn't he afraid that Madam Han will find trouble with him after she finds out? Can he bear Madam Han's anger?

Forget it, Madam Han's visit to him has nothing to do with me? Anyway, I won't accept the money. Just as he was about to say something, Rong Jin, who lived across the street, spoke first.

"Sister Hua, this banknote has no mark. No one knows about it except Grandma and Zhenzhu. Just accept it. You need silver for moving house and other things. You also need silver for turnover of your farm. I can't use it if you keep it with me. If you don't accept it today, I will let my grandmother give it to you later."

After a pause, feeling that his tone was a bit harsh, Rong Jin softened his tone, looked at Hua Lei's face, and said carefully, "How about I give it to Xiao Yuan, okay?"

Hua Lei sighed softly in her heart, feeling a little bit reluctant when she saw Rong Jin giving her the silver with such a wronged and cautious look on his face.

So he said, "How about this, I may have to start a new project on my farm in the near future, which requires capital. I will treat your 10,000 taels of silver as your capital. When there is a profit, I will give you a share. If the new project fails, we can talk about this money later. How about it?"

Rong Jin thought that his silver was a gift to Sister Hua, and Sister Hua could do whatever she wanted. As long as he did not accept the share from Sister Hua in the future, the 10,000 taels of silver would be considered as a gift. So he nodded.

Zhenzhu, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, leaned over quietly and asked softly, "Sister Hua, do you have any new projects? Can I contribute some capital?" As she spoke, she took a wooden box from Qinghe's hand, opened it, pushed it in front of Hualei and said.

"This is the gold jewelry I specially customized for you. I know you like gold, so take a look. Do you like it? This hairpin, earrings, pendant, and bracelet are all a set. You can wear them separately or together. Although the pendant and bracelet are not big, they are well made and very delicate. Of course, this is my moving gift to you.

In addition, I will give you another two thousand taels of silver as the principal, is that okay? I am not as rich as my elder brother, so I can't take out more. If it's okay, I will let Qinghe go back to get the banknotes now. "Zhenzhu looked at Hualei and asked.

Hua Lei was stunned. She didn't expect that Zhenzhu gave her such a precious gift. The gold ornaments in the wooden box were all shining brightly. Not to mention the craftsmanship, the gold itself was worth at least one thousand five hundred or six hundred taels of silver.

"Zhenzhu, why did you give me such an expensive gift? Where did you get so much money?" Hualei knew that Zhenzhu was preparing for her wedding and had found the best jewelry shop in the capital, "Jinding Pavilion", to customize her jewelry.

I heard that the jewelry store in Jinding Pavilion sells unique jewelry. The business is very good. Many people have to queue up to order custom jewelry. Even if you have money, you may not get a turn. I didn't expect that Zhenzhu would order a set for herself.

"Well, when I was custom-making my own jewelry, I specially chose a set for you. This is both a moving gift from me to you and a thank you gift for helping me open the bookstore. Just accept it. Can I be included in your new project?" Zhenzhu asked, grabbing Hualei's arm.

Well, she did have an idea for a new project in her mind, but it might not be implemented. The reason why she said this to Rong Jin was that she didn't want to offend Rong Jin in person. She thought about waiting for the right time to return the silver note to Madam Pei, so she used the excuse that the new project could not be implemented to refuse the silver note of ten thousand taels.

But, after Zhenzhu asked this, Hualei was in a dilemma. This...

"Sister Hua, don't you want to?" Zhenzhu was a little sad.

"No, Zhenzhu, it's like this. I do have some ideas for the new project, but it may not be implemented. It depends on the specific situation. What's more, it may not make money." Hua Lei was a little tired. After telling a lie, she had to cover it up with another lie.

"It doesn't matter. There is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business. I use two thousand taels as capital, so it doesn't matter even if I lose it all." Zhenzhu automatically ignored the premise that the new project might not be implemented.

Hualei looked at Zhenzhu, then looked at Rongjin, and nodded with some tiredness.

"Sister Hua, if you and Xiaoyuan move to the new house, the original guards may not be enough. I asked my guards from Qixiayuan to transfer ten of them. You can arrange for them to go to the farm or the workshop.

Grandfather is already helping you train the second group of guards, but there is not enough time, so they cannot be used yet." Rong Jin, who was sitting opposite, spoke again.

Hua Lei thought about it and realized that the security in Shangjing City was still very good. Although the original thirty guards were indeed a bit tight, they should be fine. However, seeing Rong Jin's concerned look, Hua Lei nodded and accepted Rong Jin's kindness.

Rong Jin saw Hua Lei nod, and breathed a sigh of relief. After a pause, he asked, "Sister Hua, should Qingcheng and Qingyue let them follow Xiaoyuan? I'll ask my grandmother to give you their indentures. How do you think?"

It's better to keep someone familiar with Xiaoyuan. Qingcheng and Qingyue have been with Xiaoyuan for two years, and they are familiar with each other. The slaves you bought temporarily may not be good, but if you mind, you can buy a batch as soon as possible and train them first. Before they are trained, let Qingcheng and Qingyue follow Xiaoyuan first, right?"

Hua Lei looked at Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan nodded, so Hua Lei also nodded and said, "Okay, but I will ask Qing Cheng and Qing Yue for their opinions first."

Rong Jin nodded and continued, "My grandmother and I have already told you that as long as you find them useful and need them, you can take them all to your new house. Their deeds will be given to you. If you are not satisfied, that's fine. Just keep them in the courtyard."

Hualei nodded and sighed softly in her heart.
