Chapter 916: Really Lucky
When Shopkeeper Qian came out of Sun's Business, he still felt a little dizzy.
He seemed to understand what Lu Zhaoling said just now, but he didn't quite understand it.
After getting on the carriage, he asked the driver to hurry to the shop.
He had to pack up again and go home. The snow and wind were too strong and he didn't want to come to open the shop tomorrow.
As a result, when I went to the shop to clean up, I found a purse on the cabinet where the small box of things was previously placed.
The purse hit him right on the head.
"Ouch."
Shopkeeper Qian cried out, rubbed his head, looked down at the money bag that fell on the ground, and suddenly his eyes widened like bells.
Isn’t this the purse that his father couldn’t find before?
One time, his father went out to collect debts and put all the banknotes and silver in this purse. But after returning to the shop, he could not find the purse anywhere.
There are eight hundred taels of silver notes and ten taels of silver in it!
Also, there is a pair of gold earrings that Dad wants to buy for Mom.
But, it was lost.
Dad searched for a long time, but because he went to collect debts that day and got drunk, he was dizzy and couldn't figure out where the money bag had fallen or where he had put it. He couldn't find it.
His father passed away last year, and the purse could never be found again.
Whenever they thought of this purse, Manager Qian and his wife and mother still felt very distressed.
His mother now scolds his father from time to time, saying that he was drunk and caused trouble, and that she didn't know where his purse had fallen.
That's a huge sum of money.
As a result, the purse was actually on this cabinet?
This cabinet is quite high, and they don’t usually clean up on top of it. They really didn’t expect that!
Shopkeeper Qian picked up the purse, opened it and looked inside, and sure enough, the banknotes and small change were still there!
A pair of gold earrings are still there too!
He was about to cry.
He suddenly remembered that when his father was drunk he would sometimes dance and throw things around. Could it be that he threw his purse onto the cabinet and then forgot about it?
He placed the small box in a corner of the cabinet. When he was moving it, he stood on a stool and almost fell. In panic, he grabbed the cabinet.
The cabinet shook at that moment and tilted slightly when he grabbed it.
Could it be that at that time, the purse fell to the side?
"But isn't this just too coincidental?"
Shopkeeper Qian thought of Lu Zhaoling’s previous words again.
She said that it would be no good for him to accept the box, but it would be good for him if she bought it?
"Then Miss Lu, could it be that she has some magical powers?"
The more Shopkeeper Qian thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
He packed his things and hurried home with the purse.
As soon as he got home, his wife came up to him and said to him cheerfully, "You are so out of tune. What time is it now? It's snowing so hard outside. Didn't I tell you to close the shop and come home early? But since I have a happy event today, I won't bother with you."
Seeing that the lady was so happy and did not pull his ears or scold him, Manager Qian felt that he had escaped a disaster and that things seemed to be going well.
"Ma'am, what's the good news?"
He also has some happy news that he hasn't told you about yet.
"Didn't I make several pairs of rabbit fur boots before? But you said my craftsmanship was too poor and no one would buy them. However, today someone bought all those pairs of boots! They paid one tael for each pair!"
"What? With your craftsmanship, there are actually people who would pay such a high price for it?"
"What do you know? They were just about to leave Shuning City, and they said it would be very cold along the way. They couldn't find such boots anywhere else, and they happened to see mine and said they looked warm." Mrs. Qian said.
Shopkeeper Qian looked at the few taels of silver that his wife brought over, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Madam, now that we have this silver, how about..." he said, "make some hot porridge and send it to the children of Yu'an Hall?"
"We don't have much rice left. Come on, come on. Those children are pitiful. They don't know if they can have something hot to eat now."
Let’s not talk about how Manager Qian and his wife are busy.
In the Sun family business, Mr. Qiu gradually became serious.
Before, Lu Zhaoling said that she was Lu Anfan’s cousin, but he didn’t actually think of her as a member of the Lu family in Beijing.
But the attitude and tone of Lu Zhaoling's speech gradually made him think of someone from the capital.
This is no ordinary girl from a small family.
Besides, Manager Gan and his daughter were so respectful to her, and she had a maid by her side. The maid didn't look like she was from an ordinary family either.
When Manager Qiu saw Lu Zhaoling's expression, he knew that he had to give up on his plan to send Lu Anfan to the North City military camp.
He did want to repay Lu Anfan originally, and although he had the intention of further exploring his background, he was not vague about the matter of repaying his gratitude.
He agreed to the condition proposed by Lu Zhaoling.
Manager Gan's servants have already bought cotton clothes and cotton shoes.
Lu Zhaoling asked Lu Anfan to change into new clothes and shoes first.
As soon as Lu Anfan left, Mr. Qiu asked directly about Lu Zhaoling's identity.
Lu Zhaoling blinked and didn't intend to hide it.
"I came from the capital with the Prince of Jin. He is now in the government office discussing matters with the prefect, Lord Zhong."
Mr. Qiu stood up suddenly.
I had just guessed it, but I didn’t expect it to be true!
"In that case, Miss Lu is the future Princess of Jin. This is really disrespectful. Please forgive me, Miss Lu."
"Mr. Qiu, you're welcome."
Lu Zhaoling waved his hand, "Second Master Qiu, please sit down and talk."
Mr. Qiu sat down again, looked at Lu Zhaoling, and couldn't help but ask.
"May I ask Miss Lu, how is my niece, Qiu Yunzhen, doing in Beijing now?"
"I have only met Miss Qiu once."
Lu Zhaoling thought of the naive, impulsive, and bad-tempered Qiu Yunzhen, and looked at Mr. Qiu, "Miss Qiu was injured before and is recuperating in the palace. You knew about this, right?"
"We already know about this, but she wrote that her leg bones were injured by the daughter of Prime Minister Shen. I wonder if that's true?"
Phew.
Qingbao almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
This seemed to be true, but she didn't expect that Qiu Yunzhen would write a letter to tell her family that it was really written like this.
I don’t know whether General Qiu will remember Miss Shen.
"You can ask Miss Qiu in detail when the time comes." Lu Zhaoling also tried not to laugh.
She actually thought Qiu Yun was quite funny.
Mr. Qiu suddenly asked, "The person who went to Qian's shop to buy yellow paper and cinnabar today was Miss Lu? There are rumors in the capital that Miss Lu is a member of the Xuanmen sect. I wonder if it is true?"
He looked a little anxious.
It seems that he is really looking for someone from the Xuanmen.
"I am indeed a member of the Xuanmen." Lu Zhaoling admitted.
