"I've already gone to visit my cousin in prison in person, and it's really Mei Xueyan's slut who secretly plotted to frame him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Ma Jinjun tossed for a long afternoon, wiped off the fine sweat with an embroidered handkerchief, fanned the cool breeze on his sleeves, poured a big bowl of herbal tea and drank it.

Ma Jinqi was holding a book and reading, and was slightly displeased when he heard Ma Jinjun's fire.

"Don't be a slut, the daughter in the boudoir should be virtuous and gentle."

Ma Jinjun said: "I just don't like this woman, she caused her cousin to go to prison, and my brother always protects her between words, what do you do with such a bad stomach?"

Ma Jinqi shook his head helplessly, in the end, the second lady who has been pampered since childhood, can't hold her breath, and still needs to be honed.

"How can I help her and protect you?" Ma Jinqi said softly, "Is Uncle Cousin okay?" ”

"What's good, I can't eat well in the dark prison and can't sleep, when I go, I'm about to cry with me, the boss is so old, it's really pitiful to look at."

Ma Jinqi only asked, "What exactly did he do?"

"Uncle Cousin is really, the original master of the county government has just had an accident, he has only been in office for a year, and he is bold, and he was copied out of 50,000 taels at home, I thought he needed our help......"

"Fifty thousand taels ......" Ma Jinqi was also surprised, "Even if he is good at making fake accounts, sooner or later something will go wrong, Uncle Cousin is really confused, and he is not greedy enough......"

Ma Jinjun also nodded and said: "Speaking of which, Uncle Tang is also unlucky, he happened to meet the prefect who sent someone to check the accounts, he thought that Mei Xueyan didn't understand anything, so he randomly looked for someone to blame, but Mei Xueyan turned over all the old accounts and was exposed in the lobby, Wu County Ling can not take him under the knife, and now it is difficult to save him."

Ma Jinqi listened and thought about it for a while, and sighed lightly, Uncle Cousin dared to act so arbitrarily, most likely because of the power of the Ma family.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Alas...... Uncle Cousin is the pillar of the family, and now he has lost his backbone when he is in prison. Ma Jinjun said, "But Uncle Tang is in the hands of Wu County's order, and he won't be able to get it out for a while, so we can't disobey the government and the court." ”

Ma Jinqi nodded, very satisfied.

"You have finally learned a lesson from the last printing workshop, and you have become much calmer."

Ma Jinjun was sullen, although the Ma family's printing workshop did not damage the fundamentals, but the vitality was greatly damaged, and the book industry in Lin'an was not able to eat, and later there were literati making trouble, and the poor paper caused a lot of trouble after all, and even many readers boycotted the Ma family printing workshop.

Thanks to the large business of the Ma family, it will not collapse because of this.

"The matter of the printing workshop, if it weren't for Mei Xueyan, we would have done it all!" Ma Jinjun hated and said, "In the past, my brother was afraid of the Lin Mansion, but now she is alone, it's time to teach her some lessons!" ”

Ma Jinqi doesn't approve, he is arrogant, not only because he is afraid of the Lin Mansion, Mei Xueyan faintly presses him in terms of talent, he wants to prove himself in a dignified manner, not through some inferior means.

"Mei Xueyan, don't worry about it, settle your aunt's family well, don't let people say that we are not close."

Ma Jinjun muttered: "What can they be dissatisfied with, eating and drinking us, that is, there are so many people in the family, no matter how big the house is, it will be crowded in a panic, especially the children are noisy."

"Don't say that again."

Ma Jinqi pondered for a moment and said: "You just said that the Lin Mansion, they are just decaying generals, how can they compare to the scholarly family, originally I thought that Lin Sanlang was the best sister-in-law, but now I think about it is still short-sighted."

"Brother doesn't want me to marry Lin Saburo?"

Ma Jinjun said excitedly, since the news came out that Lin Sanlang and Mei Xueyan got married, Ma Jinjun was angry and annoyed, her heart belonged to something else, but it didn't mean that she could tolerate that the Lin Mansion looked down on her, where did her famous second lady get at the mercy of others?

Later, I heard that Mei Xueyan had become an abandoned woman, and her brother still had the intention of marrying, so Ma Jinjun had no fragrant tea and rice.

"Well, I'm going to take the government exam this year, if I can win the exam, we will no longer be just a businessman's family, but an official eunuch family, Lord Zhizhou intends to accept me as an apprentice after the government exam, what is his Lin family? When the time comes, I will naturally find a better marriage for you. ”

Ma Jinjun was half happy and half worried, worried that her brother would not find her another in-law, in her eyes, no son and talent could compare to that person's toes, if only she could see him from time to time.

……

When the new official took office, Mei Xueyan first counted the deficit in the treasury, and filled it after the Ma master book was copied from the house, but it was not much worse, but it is conceivable that most of the previous losses fell into the pocket of the Ma master book.

"This horse master book, collect so much silver and put it at home, and don't spend it, can you still bring it into the coffin?"

Mei Xueyan muttered as she sealed the new accounts.

"If you are greedy for money, you haven't had time to spend it, so it's better not to be greedy."

Mr. Zou wiped the locker while dusting the duster, and the other two deputy bookkeepers diligently took out the damp books of old accounts to dry.

After Mei Xueyan saw that Zou Lao was busy, she stood respectfully, half-bowed her back, and her demeanor was much more humble than before.

"How did Zou Lao become so restrained? Sit down and drink tea and talk. ”

Zou Laoduan sat down, holding the tea bowl and not drinking, only changed a few sitting postures, and looked at Mei Xueyan from time to time.

"I didn't know that Miss Mei was actually the new Maocai this year, which is really rude."

Mei Xueyan knew that Zou Lao was also a showman before, and he also worked as a teacher in the county school, but when he was old, he couldn't get a higher literary position, and he succumbed to the errand under the master bookkeeper.

"What's so rude about this, you are a gentleman and I am a student, speaking of which, I want to perform a student salute."

Zou Lao sighed with emotion: "I was at most a talent back then, but you are the leader, which can be seen to be far inferior, and the future life is terrifying."

"Let's stop flattering each other, Zou Lao, the bookstore that is going to be sold is in Yongle Lane, who is the owner?"

Mei Xueyan saw that there was a bookstore in Yongle Lane that was going to be resold recently, and she intended to take it down.

Chengfang Printing Workshop has successively sent dividends of silver taels, bits and pieces have brought five or six hundred taels, including many teahouses for money, Lin'an is now the storyteller of each teahouse is talking about "A Chinese Ghost Story".

In addition, there are bookstores in other counties and even Huatong Mansion that come all the way to buy goods, so the business is getting bigger and bigger, and if the fame is wider in time, the more dividends will be.

Zou Lao glanced at it and replied: "It's the property of the Lin Mansion, it seems that the owner is the second master of Lin, I remember that he came to the county government a few days ago."

Mei Xueyan rubbed the corners of her forehead, she actually involved the Lin Mansion again, she didn't want to deal with the Lin family anymore, and her mind to lay down the shop was shallow.

It's a pity that it's a good shop, Mei Xueyan has five hundred taels in her hand, so she has to find another good location.
