In the 14th year of the Republic of China, Nanjing.

The noise of the market fades away as the sunset climbs into the sky.

There were only two or three kittens left in the Four Kinkee guests, but the men still stood neatly by the cupboards full of brocade, wool and feather yarn, and did not dare to slack off.

A chubby black guy turned his stiff neck and glanced at the woman at the door of the hidden private room on the second floor.

The woman was at a prime age, sitting on a rattan chair in a brocade dress and dozing, the hairpin's azure tassels swept across her neck one by one, and the slightly curved neck was even more delicate and graceful.

The black fat guy couldn't help but touch the skinny monkey-like guy who didn't move at all: "Did you say that the young owner really fell asleep this time?"

The thin monkey guy glanced at the fat black guy and also raised his eyes to the second floor.

Beside the woman, a handsome man in a blue robe was fanning her, acting softly as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping woman.

The skinny monkey guy rolled his eyes and replied, "No."

"The young owner must be waiting for an opportunity and looking for a reason to deduct our monthly money", the black fat guy glanced at himself and pouted.

If someone thinks that they can be lazy while the young owner is sleepy, then they are wrong, they are always caught deducting the moon silver, and they have already learned to be obedient.

Although Sijin Ji is also a well-known clothing and home furnishing shop, it is silk and satin, clothing, shoes and socks, the quality is not as good as the Xuan Fei Zhai in the south of the city, and the novelty is not as good as the Weiran Ju in the north of the city, but it can still dominate the home furnishing shop in Nanjing, the most important reason is that the service is good, the store is always spotless, and the guy is always in good spirits and smiling, making you feel at home.

But if anyone speculates that they must have a strict temper to manage Sijin Kee in such an orderly manner, it would be a big mistake!

The young owner of Sijin Ji is a woman who is sleeping on the second floor, twenty years old, the famous Lu Chengxue, born with exquisite ice and snow, fragrant and delicate, especially suitable for her name, gentle temper and amiable attitude.

But no one dared to disobey the young owner's intentions, because what she was best at was to point out your mistakes with a gentle face, and then kindly order the bookkeeper to deduct your money.

Alas, it is said that unscrupulous profiteers, black and fat guys, I believe that no one can be more treacherous than his own young owner!

"Guess who the unlucky guy is this month?" the fat black guy whispered to the thin monkey guy as he carefully observed the young man.

"I don't know, the young owner's mind has changed so much, how can we guess?!" the thin monkey guy lifted his mouth with a straight posture and an expressionless face.

"Last month we all bet on Ah Dou, and the result was rhubarb, last month we bet on Ah Cai, and the result was good luck, and then last month's ......"

Every time, every time, I see that I have to make the right bet, and the result is always the final dark horse.

A group of guys always lose inexplicably, only Lu Chengxue, who is also a young owner, is also a banker, and there is no suspense to win!

But at this moment, Lu Chengxue didn't know what the guys were slandering her, and she was bored with her eyes closed.

It wasn't until the last rays of the sunset fell from the sky that she slowly opened her eyes: "Winter and summer, tomorrow is the end of the month, who has committed the most fouls this month?"

The man in Tsing Yi, who was called Dong Xia, put away the fan and replied respectfully: "Young Dongjia, this month is a second-class guy Ah Dou." ”

She nodded in satisfaction, "Remember to ask the bookkeeper to give me the winnings tomorrow." ”

Dong Xia silently ordered a wax for Ah Dou in his heart, causing the other guys to lose money, and they couldn't escape from a fat beating.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Xue asked the driver Lao Cai to drive her home, leaving the guys who were finally relieved and Ah Dou who was in tears in his heart.

Sure enough, when she left, after all the guys learned that the unlucky ghost who caused them to lose money this month was Ah Dou, they all put down their work and dragged him to the back hall to torture him to extract a confession!

"Ah Dou, what have you been doing lately? You have been targeted by the young owner?!" The fat black guy asked with a confused face.

"I, I didn't do anything", Ah Dou shrunk his neck and said aggrievedly.

"Say, the young owner never makes a move for no reason!" the thin monkey guy pushed him and shouted.

"I, I've always been law-abiding, at most, at most, I went to Xiao Kouzhi's place to listen to a few songs...... "Ah Dou is hesitant."

"Okay, you Ah Dou! Your wife is so sick that she can't get out of bed, and you still go to find a good friend, no wonder the young owner is eyeing you!"

Ah Dou Bianbian was slapped on the back of the head.

"You prodigal, your baby and mother-in-law eat pickles at home every day, and you still have the leisure to listen to a little song!"

Ah Dou's thin calf was kicked again.

"That is, my younger brother and sister married you despite their parents' objections, but after four or five years, you found a good match!"

Ah Dou's slightly protruding stomach was hit by another elbow.

By the time everyone punched me and kicked Ah Dou angrily, he already had a blue nose and swollen face and a head as big as a pig!

Ah Dou hugged his sore head, feeling painful, wronged and angry!

Who's owner is so weird, and he openly gambles every month to bet on which guy makes the most mistakes, and forces everyone to participate.

That's it, the point is that his young owner is really full of means as a banker, and every time he will make the most unexpected person a dark horse, causing everyone to lose inexplicably and reasonably, and in the end, only the young owner eats his own pocket.

If it weren't for the fact that the wages of Sijin Kee have always been a few points higher than those of other families, everyone would have gone on strike and protested when they encountered such a young owner who had plucked the feathers of geese!

However, a group of guys were forced to gamble and lose money every time by the unscrupulous young owner, and they completely saw the shameless methods of the banker, but no one dared to gamble outside.

The Lu family has a simple population, an old man with two young ladies, and lives in a three-entry courtyard, which is quite deserted.

Because the host doesn't like extravagance, the chef Sister-in-law made a few dishes and a soup for dinner.

A family of three sat around a round table in Limu.

Seeing that his daughter Chengxue came back very late today, and he seemed to be very hungry and only cared about the rice in the bowl, he picked up her favorite sweet and sour fish and hibiscus shrimp on the table and sandwiched a few spoons into her bowl, and then said, "Chengxue, are you gambling again?"

Cheng Xue was busy sacrificing the Five Organs Temple, so she didn't care about answering for a while and only nodded slightly.

"Sister, the guys all say that you are obsessed with money. ”

Seven-year-old Lu Chengyu swallowed the big lion's head, his glutinous soft cheeks bulged like a little frog on a lotus leaf, and his speech was a little slurred.

"The idiom is good, remember to go back and let Dong Xia bring a thank you gift to your Chinese teacher", Cheng Xue didn't care and continued to eat.

"Sister, you love money so much, you definitely won't be able to get married. ”

What's so bad about loving money like life?!

Cheng Xue pinched her sister's pink and cute face: "Cheng Yu, you see that you have eaten so much recently, how can I support you if I don't work hard to make money?"

"Daddy ......", Cheng Yu, who was only seven years old and still growing tall, angrily puffed out his cheeks and asked Master Lu for help.

Master Lu lovingly touched her small pigtail tied at the back of her head, and turned to Cheng Xue: "Cheng Xue, guys like you will have opinions." ”

Cheng Xue smiled and added a piece of yellow croaker and put it in Master Lu's bowl, and said comfortingly: "Dad, it's okay, don't worry, I have measure." ”

Master Lu looked at her smiling face, her eyebrows and eyes looked a little immature at first glance, but her lake-like eyes were full of years of wisdom, and in the end, he could only swallow the rest of the words silently.

Master Lu was originally a distant relative of the Lu family, and met the Chengxue sisters in a foreign land during the warlord melee six years ago.

At that time, Chengxue's parents unfortunately died, and she escaped with her infant sister Chengyu at a young age.

Coincidentally, he met Lu Jin, who was separated from his relatives in the melee, and the three of them acted as father and daughter, and went through countless ups and downs along the way, stumbling and stumbling together to get to where they are today.

In the past six years, Mr. Lu has witnessed her change from a wandering girl to a young owner of Si Jin Kee, and in just four years, Si Jin Kee has developed from a crumbling home shop to not only a leader in Nanjing, but also opened dozens of branches in various cities in the north and south of the country.

Of course, there are reasons for the support of the people behind it, but it is more due to her own intelligence and sensitivity.

Therefore, although Mr. Lu has been holding the name of his old club over the years, he has rarely interfered in the affairs of the store, and she has made her own decisions on matters big and small.

Because the pickled vegetables made by sister-in-law Xin were sour, crispy and salty, which was very suitable for Chengxue's appetite, she ate more, and slept until midnight but was awakened by thirst, so she fumbled for the magnolia carved table lamp at the head of the bed.

Picking up the kettle on the coffee table, I found that there was no water.

At this time, the gilded Western clock hanging on the wall rang twice, and it was two o'clock in the morning.

Thinking that Qiulan and the others had rested at this time, she simply put on a silk coat and walked to the kitchen by herself to find water.

After rubbing his sleepy eyes, he went downstairs to the sandalwood counter in the kitchen, and was about to pick up the water glass when he heard a strange sound coming from the kitchen.

Cheng Xue's hairs stood on end in an instant, her whole body tensed, and before she could turn around, she heard a crisp "click", and a cold metal object against her stiff back.

After experiencing many years of war and displacement, in order to protect herself, she asked someone to teach her marksmanship.

This crisp voice, cold touch, and the one behind her who was tightly pressed against her waist was clearly a gun that opened the safety bolt!

She was actually held hostage in her own home?!

Who are the people? What about the guards who take turns on duty?

Was it killed or ......
