Chapter 884: Greed (Adding More to the White Peach Blossom Fan for Liquor)
Liu Qilan has lacked her mother's attention since she was a child, and the only one who can speak is only a bastard eldest brother. She sank into the books to find sustenance, and she really didn't understand the sophistication of people.
In the Pingguo Mansion, the Zeng family gave her the upbringing and demeanor she deserved. But due to the absence of her parents, she doesn't understand feelings. For the sophistication of human feelings, it is even more jerky.
Otherwise, she would not have done anything to ask Liu Qiran to compile a list of unmarried men in the capital for him.
will not fall in love with Fan Bin at first sight, so he plunged into it without hesitation. even asked for Liu Qiran's consent and support, and left home to pursue Fan Bin.
In her world, there is only one who does not do it, and there is no such thing as whether she can achieve her goal.
Even if she can't achieve it now, she has been working hard, thinking that one day she can achieve it.
Just like Fan Bin, he has rejected her several times, but Liu Qilan thinks that it is because she is not good enough. She constantly strives to change and improve herself, thinking that one day, she will meet Fan Bin's requirements, so that he can accept it.
She never thought that emotional matters should be willing for you. Fan Bin didn't accept her, not because she was bad, but because he lived in someone else's heart.
Therefore, Xu Wanzhen's words are knowledge that she has never learned in books. It is said that there is a road in Book Mountain, but there are some things that do not need to be investigated to the end?
Liu Qilan was a little confused, but she was not stupid. chewed this sentence a few times in her heart, and felt that it contained the truth of being a person and doing things, which she had never thought of before.
Xu Wanzhen looked at her expression, and her heart softened for no reason.
She also knows a little about the affairs of the Pingguo Mansion. She has a close relationship with Tu Manzhen, Tu Manzhen is a big grinning character, and occasionally talks about her younger brothers and sisters in the house.
When Zeng had just given birth to Liu Qiran and Liu Qilan, he had just married into the Pingguo Mansion for two or three years. That will be young, angry and jealous of Ping Guogong's flower, and helpless.
As a result, the two siblings grew like weeds without their mother's guidance when they were young, and they grew into their current temperament.
Liu Qilan is smart by nature, if it weren't for this, how could she not understand the world?
Xu Wanzhen looked into her eyes and smiled slightly: "The only thing I can tell you is that you don't have to wait too long." As soon as I got the news, I sent someone to tell you about it. ”
"Really?" Liu Qilan's eyes flashed brightly, and she said, "Qilan, thank you Second Young Lady." ”
"These days, if you're okay, stay with your mother. Save yourself from thinking nonsense, and you can also see more about how she presides over the feeds and personal exchanges. ”
As the head of the house, Tsang has four children under her knees. The young son is weak, and she inevitably pays less attention to Liu Qilan, who has grown up.
However, Liu Qilan can take the initiative on her own. Regardless of whether she can marry Fan Bin as she wishes, she will always be the director of the family after marriage.
Since she came to find herself, Xu Wanzhen might as well say more to mention her. Being kind to others, Xu Wanzhen doesn't feel that she will lose anything.
Liu Qilan left happily, Qingluo came to report, and the two stewards arrived.
"Let them wait in the Warm Pavilion." Xu Wanzhen instructed that she should dry them.
The two stewards entered Zhiyuanju, and every step was cautious.
The shopkeeper of the North and South Goods Stores is surnamed Dai, with a short figure. Even if I tried to hide it, my eyes couldn't help but look around.
The steward in charge of the twelve pieces store is surnamed Tang, and he is a middle-aged man with an ordinary face. is in charge of so many shops under his hands, and in terms of dress, in addition to the quality of the materials, he is not rich at all, and he is a low-key person.
When Steward Tang heard the summons, he knew that something must be wrong. Let the shopkeeper Dai show him the retained accounts and take a closer look, and then he will know that there is a big problem.
This is also to blame for his lack of care. In the final analysis, it was still a young lady who didn't know how to operate, and she handed it over without checking the account books of each store one by one.
Seeing that the shopkeeper Dai was not honest when he entered the courtyard, he glared at him fiercely and shouted in a low voice: "Dai Dagui!" ”
Before coming, the shopkeeper Dai was severely taught a lesson by him. At this time, he drank it, hurriedly lowered his eyebrows, followed the leading maid, and entered the warm pavilion.
But he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, is this the grandeur of the Guogong Mansion? If it weren't for the young lady, where would he have the opportunity to set foot in the Guogong Mansion in his life? Naturally, it takes a few more glances to be enough.
How to deal with it, the two had already discussed it before they came, and it depends on how Xu Wanzhen will deal with it.
The two waited in the warm pavilion for half an hour, and the shopkeeper Dai couldn't help but switch back and forth between his left and right legs. The posture is not as respectful as it was at the beginning.
The maid who led the way didn't know where she went, and she didn't even have a cup of tea for such a long time. was smoked by the hot earth dragon, and the shopkeeper only felt that his throat was dry and his body was uncomfortable
Steward Tang also felt uncomfortable, but he was even more fortunate that the young lady did not let them wait under the porch, but entered the warm pavilion.
In this winter, if you stand under the porch for an hour, you will have to get seriously ill when you go back.
Since there was a mistake in the accounts, Xu Wan really hung the two of them, and he was mentally prepared.
Just when the shopkeeper became more and more impatient, he only heard a pleasant sound of ringing, and several maids surrounded Xu Wanzhen and sat down in the main seat of the warm pavilion.
She combed her Lingyun bun, a ruby the size of a fingernail as a forehead ornament, and a long tassel hanging down from the emerald peacock step, swaying slightly next to the bun, and the end was very luxurious.
Xu Wanzhen's eyebrows and eyes revealed a fierce meaning. This kind of momentum made the shopkeeper fall to the ground as soon as his knees were weak.
He peeked at it, but fortunately, Steward Tang also knelt down, but it didn't seem that he was embarrassed alone.
"I've seen the young lady." The two took advantage of the situation to salute.
Xu Wanzhen asked lightly: "Do you know why I called you here?" He didn't tell them to get up, and the oppression in his tone made the two of them dare not raise their heads.
Shopkeeper Dai panicked, and hurriedly said: "Second young lady, it's the villain who did something wrong." ”
As soon as he said this, Steward Tang hated it in his heart, which completely disrupted his arrangement.
This Dai Dagui is really not talented. He is greedy by nature and calculates small profits, but he is as timid as a mouse, so he is not afraid. But he had already spoken, and Steward Tang had no choice but to kneel honestly, and the time for him to speak had passed.
"Oh?" Xu Wanzhen said: "What did you do wrong?" ”
The shopkeeper Dai was sweaty, his heart was weak, and he said: "The villain was blinded by pork, so he dared to be greedy for the silver in the ink shop." ”
Speaking of this, he remembered the countermeasures he had discussed with Steward Tang before, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and added, "It's a guy in the villain's shop who is seriously ill and needs silver." The villain did not have much money, so he moved two hundred taels of silver from the account and paid him in advance. ”
