Chen Afu's matter was handled so quickly and unreservedly, because he really had no reason to refute it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first few pages of the ledger, he did a really good job, and every entry and exit was recorded very clearly. The more you go to the back, the more chaotic it becomes, it was originally an account book for the sale of horses, but it has become a notebook for daily trivial matters, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and even when you invite someone to dinner.

According to this notation, not to mention that it is profitable, it is not bad if it is not lost.

At first glance, this account was made on an ad hoc basis. What is the location of East China Street, as soon as you come out of the palace, it is East China Street, the most prosperous area in the entire Chang'an City. It costs 3,000 taels of silver to build a shop, and how can you lose money where people who are not rich or expensive go in and out.

Chen Afu can eat like a fat head and big ears, and it is estimated that he has not been less greedy in the past ten years. If it weren't for the contract between master and servant, I'm afraid I would have gone out and set up another door a long time ago.

Liu's mother invited Chen Afu out, and it was Yao Sanniang's turn next.

Yao Sanniang saw this little proprietor for the first time, and she didn't know her temper. Seeing Yun Tianhua looking at her, she had no choice but to grin and respond. "Miss, my business is rouge, and this harvest is not as rich as that of Shopkeeper Chen."

Yun Tianhua looked down at the account book in his hand, the business of rouge gouache was indeed not as high as the harvest of silk. The account book is very clear and clear, the balance of the previous month, the expenditure of this month, and the amount left at the end of the month are all clearly written. It's not like Chen Afu, there is one more stool to buy here, and one more to buy rice there.

"I heard, you're still in the spice business?"

Yao Sanniang's heart jumped suddenly, and her nails stained with bright saffron juice tightly clasped the teacup. "Yes, just bring a little for a friend."

"Really?" Yun Tinghua glanced at her. is like a cold light arrow, shooting directly at Yao Sanniang's eyebrows.

She continued: "Spices are precious, especially those from the Western Regions. Sanniang has a good eye. ”

"Hehe, no, it's just luck, luck."

Yun Qianhua closed the account book and asked with a smile: "Sanniang, do you want another cup of tea?" ”

"Oh! No, not anymore. Yao Sanniang held the teacup alternately with both hands, as if it was a straw in her despair, firmly grasping.

"Let's have another drink!" Junyue looked at Xia Yu on the side. Xia Yu stepped forward and forcefully poured another cup of chrysanthemum tea for Yao Sanniang.

Yao Sanniang could only bite the bullet and say thank you.

Yun Tianhua said: "Sanniang has a vision for business, and she is also a kind person, and she is not like Shopkeeper Chen, and the amount handed over every year is also right." But isn't it a little less? I earn ten taels of silver a month, and a hundred taels a year, which is not as much as the rent I rented to Boss Li! ”

Li Erjia's annual rent is one hundred and fifty taels. This is just enough for a pastry shop to get by.

"Miss, I didn't have a copper plate!"

Yun Tianhua took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, you did not have a copper plate. But that shop is not small, and three-quarters of your place is used for spices. But where you walk, you say, where else can you put rouge? ”

"How does the eldest lady know ......?"

Yao Sanniang was just halfway through her words, and she was cut off again. Is this a self-confessing confession?

"If I hadn't been to see that shop, Guangping and you two would be prevaricating here. As soon as you go out of this door, do you immediately scold me for being stupid? ”

"Miss, we don't ......"

"I bought a box of your rouge and came back, do you want to try it?" I guess it's from last year, so it should still work. ”

It's September now, and last year's stuff just can't be sold, and it's time to take it off the shelves. A few days ago, Chaochun went out, and he was able to buy such a box.

And the people who are full of shops come to buy spices, and the business is as hot as the New Year.

With a "bang", Yao Sanniang's knees were already on the ground. Yun Tianhua was also taken aback, because her kneeling was real.

But she suppressed her impulse and said quietly: "What is Aunt Zhang doing, Sister-in-law Li, help me help her up!" ”

Sister-in-law Li has already gotten up and is about to help. Which Yao Sanniang flicked her sleeves suddenly, but scared Sister-in-law Li and took two steps back. Fortunately, there was a husband to support, otherwise he would have crashed into the chair.

Yun Qianhua was really shocked. When Sister-in-law Li retreated just now, Li Erjia was obviously still three or four steps away from her. But in the blink of an eye, Li Erjia had already caught his daughter-in-law, and he didn't even let people see how to move clearly.

This Li Erjia is not simple.

"I don't, Miss!" Yao Sanniang had already cried, and continued to splash what Chen Afu didn't sprinkle just now, "Miss, I am old and young, and the whole family depends on my little business to maintain, it's really not easy for me, Miss, you have a lot, let me go!" I know it's wrong, you can let my whole family live! ”

Scare! In this way, if Yun Qianhua doesn't let go of others, it's still her fault?

In this world, the slave bullied the master, and if the master does not forgive, he will still be a villain.

"You're poor?" Yun Qianhua's fingers rubbed the edge of the teacup and only asked three words.

"Huh?" Yao Sanniang was stunned, how to answer this question?

Speaking of poverty, she looks more glamorous than Sister-in-law Li on the side. It's not poor, so what did she just shout about. "I, I'm living a tight life, it's really not easy!"

"Really? In my mother's contract with you, what is the annual salary? ”

Yao Sanniang stretched out two fingers, and her sleeves were drawn, revealing the bright moon-white bracelet on her hand. There are a few lines on the bracelet, which are natural and are the best jade. "Two, twenty taels, one month."

"As far as I know, you have in-laws and a son. Twenty taels of silver may not be able to earn a year for a Zhuang family, and the Yun family will not treat you badly! ”

"Yes, Madame is kind-hearted......"

"My mother is kind-hearted, but it's a reason for you to deceive your superiors, right?" Yun Tianhua accentuated his tone, "The material on your body is a Yunluo shirt, twenty-five taels and one horses, and the bracelet you wear on your hand is worth two thousand taels." It's good to cry poor with me, do you know who the previous owner of your bracelet was? ”

Yao Sanniang instinctively shook her head.

Yun Tianhua said coldly: "It's my mother's thing, I don't know my mother's thing, how did it get into your hands?" ”

It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made Yao Sanniang stunned. She looked at the bracelet in her hand in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

How could this casually be a bracelet that was pulled to the Yunjiang clan's body?

But Yao Sanniang has seen a lot of people in the world, and immediately reacted, "This, this eldest lady, how do I know, maybe the bracelet is similar!" ”

"The bracelet on your hand has four stripes, one is dark green with the thickest but shortest, two are lighter, and one is inky. Am I right? ”

In her memory, her mother wore such a bracelet on her left wrist, patting her shoulder every day to lull her to sleep. The coolness of the bracelet reached her skin through a thin layer of gauze.

She had a vague understanding of Jiang's appearance, but she was very impressed by the bracelet.

Yao Sanniang clutched the bracelet in her hand tightly, this bracelet was the thing she could handle the most, how could she not know what lines were on it.

Yun Tianhua picked up the teacup in his hand and slapped it down again. With a "pop", the teacup was torn apart, and the tea smeared the cotton wool gauze on it.

The roar suddenly rang out: "Say, where did you come from?" ”
