Chapter 49: When the General Ledger is Reckoned
After Lin Liangchen greeted the shopkeeper He, after loading the account books in the shop for more than 20 years, he left a sentence to the shopkeeper, and if she did it on the day when she checked the old accounts, the person left.
Shopkeeper He was frightened by Lin Liangchen's gloomy words in a cold sweat, as soon as Lin Liangchen left, Shopkeeper He was scared and softened on the chair, if it wasn't for the little guy calling him, at this moment, Shopkeeper He was afraid that he hadn't reacted yet.
"Are you a boy to death?" As soon as the shopkeeper He reacted, he scolded directly, the young man was a little innocent, "The shopkeeper, it's not me who scares you, but you"
"What am I, don't clean it for me."
The young man sighed, hesitating to leave, and the shopkeeper He said: "Come back, come back quickly, I have something to tell you." ”
was frightened by the young guy just now, and Shopkeeper He had long forgotten that he was scared by Lin Liangchen in a cold sweat.
"Shopkeeper, what's the matter?" The young man obediently walked up to Shopkeeper He.
Shopkeeper He stretched out his hand, "Come closer, I have something to tell you." ”
The young man lowered his head, "Shopkeeper?" ”
"Don't work for now, you help me run a few places, talk to their shopkeeper there, tell them about the situation here, and say that the eldest and youngest grandmothers of the General's Mansion are not easy to mess with, let them avoid it."
The young man nodded again and again, and the shopkeeper He patted the young man, "I haven't finished yet, why are you nodding?" ”
"Shopkeeper?" The young man's mouth was deflated.
"Come closer, go quickly after listening, don't make a fuss." I'm afraid that he will notify late, those stubborn tempers. this young grandmother.
"Oh."
As soon as Shopkeeper He finished speaking, he kicked the young man and hurried to him to inform other stewards. As soon as the young man left, Shopkeeper He's hanging heart finally let go a lot, and said to himself: "I hope I can catch up." ”
However, Shopkeeper He didn't know that it was good that he didn't mix blindly, and when he did, it was not only those who were in charge. Or Lin Liangchen wasted a lot of effort, and in the end, those stewards naturally suffered a lot, of course, this is a later story. Leave it at ease.
The eldest young grandmother in the general's mansion, the Lin family, as a person in the heroic general's mansion, naturally knows a lot, and I heard that the eldest young master was taken to the countryside in his early years. Grew up in the countryside. married a country woman as a wife, this character, really has the feeling of a country shrew.
Thinking about it this way, Shopkeeper He can understand how Lin Liangchen's toughness came about, but there are still some uncertainties in his heart, especially the look in Lin Liangchen's eyes when he looks at him, Shopkeeper He still feels palpitations.
After leaving from the shopkeeper. Lin Liangchen ran to an embroidery building, which was rude compared to just now. At this time, Lin Liangchen was not so gentle, first told the shopkeeper about the reason for his come, and then took out the deed, and directly asked the shopkeeper of the embroidery building to ask for the account books of more than 20 years, and said, with a move of his hand, the guests in the embroidery building were invited out by the guards behind Lin Liangchen one after another.
As soon as the notice was pasted, the guards closed the door of the embroidery building, bolted it from the inside, Lin Liangchen had not made any moves, and Lin Liangchen was assigned a special number of guards to count, and immediately went to count and put a mark.
Before the shopkeeper of the embroidery floor could react, he was stunned by the sudden movements of these guards.
"Grandma, what are you doing here?"
"What I said just now, I think I said it very clearly, do you still have any questions?"
Lin Liangchen asked slowly, and the shopkeeper shook his head, "There are no doubts, it's just, grandmother, the account books of the past 20 years"
"Huh? Was it burned or destroyed? Or is there a disaster, or is something else happening? ”
"No, it's Madame who asked me to hand it over a long time ago." The shopkeeper hesitated.
Lin Liangchen raised his eyebrows, and looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with a headache; "It's all handed in, isn't there a backup of this ledger?"
The shopkeeper didn't speak, Lin Liangchen understood, his eyes moved, and a guard looked for him in the embroidery building, "I won't hide it from you, the shopkeeper of the jade shop, but he handed over all the account books." ”
This shopkeeper is different from He shopkeeper, Lin Liangchen said that when he talked about this, there was still no sign of letting go.
Lin Liangchen is not reluctant, this person always has oil and salt that does not enter, and the blue shopkeeper in front of him is like this, Lin Liangchen thought for a while and said: "I remember that the blue shopkeeper and your daughter are on an errand in the general's mansion, right?" ”
"Yes." Shopkeeper Lan hesitated for a while before answering Lin Liangchen's words.
Lin Liangchen sighed, "I remember that it seems that your daughter is a second-class girl in the courtyard of my third brother and sister." ”
"Yes." The blue shopkeeper didn't understand why the young grandmother in front of him wanted to ask this.
"I heard that the character of the third brother and sister is not very good, and the daughter of the blue shopkeeper is like a flower, I don't know if the third brother has it."
"Grandma Da, please be cautious, the daughter of the slave, An An, will never do anything like that to seduce the third young master."
Lin Liangchen raised his eyebrows, and looked at the blue shopkeeper funny, the blue shopkeeper felt too excited, and his mouth opened and closed in surprise, "slave"
"I know that the lady of the blue shopkeeper doesn't have it, but my third brother only came out of an outer room a few days ago."
Xu Laosan's character, Lin Liangchen just came to this heroic general's mansion, and naturally he doesn't know much, but most of the people who can make trouble in the outer room are not good people, and sure enough, Lin Liangchen's bomb was thrown out.
The blue shopkeeper's face changed several times, and he hesitated: "The slave can hand over the account book, but the young grandmother"
"Since it's the request of the blue shopkeeper, I will naturally do what I can do." Lin Liangchen was still smiling.
"I also asked the eldest young grandmother to ask the slave's daughter from the courtyard of the third young grandmother." Seeing that Lin Liangchen didn't understand, the blue shopkeeper explained: "The young grandmother probably doesn't know, the slave's daughter-in-law died early, and now this is this girl, so she naturally wants to love more."
"Okay, I can promise you this request, and I will go to my yard with my third brother and sister when I go back."
Although the blue shopkeeper didn't say the reason, Lin Liangchen felt that there must be something in it that she didn't know.
reached a consensus with the blue shopkeeper, and Lin Liangchen quickly got the account book of the embroidery building. said that the blue shopkeeper would take a holiday and rest recently, and left with a group of people.
The shopkeepers of the following shops are all very talkative. As soon as Lin Liangchen took out the deed, several stewards obediently gave Lin Liangchen the account books in the shop.
But there are also shopkeepers who freeze and don't give Lin Liangchen the account book, and some people even forcibly call the people from the yamen over, and the guards around Lin Liangchen took out the waist card on their bodies, and the people from the yamen retreated without saying a word.
If you don't do anything, you will be more arrogant with Lin Liangchen. The calmer Lin Liangchen became, the more he asked the steward to be detained, "I've wronged the shopkeeper first." When I get home, I will take you to see the general and his wife, but I will ask my wife which family's servants. Dare to shout with the master! ”
Except for the six shops, the ledger was not obtained. After lunch, Lin Liangchen dragged his tired body back to the mansion and brought the other six shopkeepers to see Xu Yingyong.
Xu Yingying knew that Lin Liangchen asked about the account book, and scolded angrily for a few words, and he was bound to sell these stewards, Lin Liangchen said: "Don't be impulsive first, old general." They are not to blame for this. ”
"Don't blame them? Having such arrogant minions is simply a disgrace to our general's mansion. Come on, drag them out and beat them again. ”
Xu Yingying gave an order, and several stewards were immediately dragged out, and when he heard the sound of crackling boards outside, Lin Liangchen didn't feel very happy, and his brows only furrowed tighter.
After returning from Xu Yingyong's and repeatedly thanking the guards sent by Sikong Xiao, Lin Liangchen began to sort out the account books that he had brought back from the outside and the Yu family.
After the boards of several stewards were played, Xu Yingying asked people to send all the account books of several shops to Lin Liangchen, and heard that Lin Liangchen Xu was going to deal with these account books, Yu secretly mocked several times, and a country woman from the Lin family would also read the account books, don't laugh at the dead.
Who doesn't know that country women are illiterate?
Besides, there are so many account books, even if you ask someone to read them, you can't read them all in a month or two.
Yu's mood became very comfortable at this moment, and he didn't know where to run for a long time.
In the study of Biqin Garden, Lin Liangchen hung the words "Do Not Disturb" idlers outside the door, and after instructing the things in the yard, he called Lin Tianlei, and the mother and son entered the study and dealt with the mountain of account books together.
Before "Xiao Lei" started, Lin Liangchen called Lin Tianlei.
"Mother?"
"These things, you"
"Don't worry, mother, I'll take care of these things." Lin Tianlei smiled at Lin Liangchen confidently, and began to liquidate according to the order in which it was placed.
Lin Tianlei is still very confident in himself, besides, he has been in private school since he was four years old, not to mention how many things he learned in private school, at home, Lin Liangchen also handed him a lot.
After ten lines at a glance, he was able to calculate the accounts very quickly, and wrote them down on the blank paper on the side with the Arabic numerals that Lin Liangchen had taught him.
Seeing Lin Tianlei so serious, Lin Liangchen was very pleased, it turned out that in a blink of an eye, the little baby who ran behind him at the beginning, and now he has grown up to be a handsome little boy, and he was very emotional, stared at it for a while, took the hot hand stove and put it on his lap, opened the account book, and settled them one by one.
Since Lin Liangchen had told the people in Biqin Garden in advance, no one should disturb her during the settlement of accounts between her and Lin Tianlei, and this dinner was sent outside by Liu'er, and after calling Lin Liangchen to come out to get it, he went in.
That night, Xu Han came back from outside, knew about the situation, and wanted to persuade Lin Liangchen not to work too hard, but Lin Liangchen didn't listen.
On the other hand, the Yu family knew from the little girl's mouth that Lin Liangchen took Lin Tianlei and the two to settle the account books, and almost couldn't straighten up with a smile.
Of course, Yu didn't laugh for long, and he couldn't laugh at all.
The New Year is approaching, the capital of Layue is busy everywhere, and the Yu family is no exception, taking advantage of the New Year, banquets are set up everywhere in the house to entertain the ladies in Beijing.
Banquet and entertainment is a very happy time, but now, the Yu family is really not happy, since Lin Liangchen checked the accounts, more than a dozen shops in the An family have all been closed, and the Yu family wanted the shopkeeper to take some things to the house, but one or two did not dare to call the shots.
The ladies in Beijing who came to the door, after they came to the door, asked what was going on with Yu's shops, and Yu's face was about to turn green on the spot.
Lin Liangchen greeted the shopkeeper He and finished loading the account books in the shop for more than 20 years. Leave a sentence to the shopkeeper, and if she is good at checking the old accounts, the person leaves.
Shopkeeper He was frightened by Lin Liangchen's gloomy words and broke out in a cold sweat. As soon as Lin Liangchen left, Shopkeeper He softened on the chair in fright, if it wasn't for the young man calling him, at this time, Shopkeeper He was afraid that he hadn't reacted yet.
"Are you a boy to death?" As soon as Shopkeeper He reacted, he scolded directly, and the young man was a little innocent. "Shopkeeper, it's not me who scares you, it's you"
"What am I, what am I. Don't clean it for me yet. ”
The young man sighed, hesitating to leave, and the shopkeeper said, "Come back, come back quickly." I have something to command you. ”
I was scared by the guy just now. Shopkeeper He had long forgotten that he was scared by Lin Liangchen in a cold sweat.
"Shopkeeper, what's the matter?" The young man obediently walked up to Shopkeeper He.
Shopkeeper He stretched out his hand, "Come closer, I have something to tell you." ”
The young man lowered his head, "Shopkeeper?" ”

"Shopkeeper?" The young man's mouth was deflated.
"Come closer, go quickly after listening, don't make a fuss." I'm afraid that he will notify late, and those stubborn tempers will work with this young grandmother.
"Oh."
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, he kicked the little guy, and hurried to him to inform other stewards, as soon as the young man left, the shopkeeper He finally let go of his hanging heart a lot, and said to himself: "I hope to catch up." ”
