Chapter 19: Integrity
Pawnshop in the room on the second floor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yueshi turned her back to an old gentleman Qin who was over half a hundred years old and looked out the window.
Old Mr. Qin lowered his head and did not say a word.
"Yueqiu~" Yueshi shouted Yueqiu who was standing aside.
Yueqiu was instructed, walked in front of Old Mr. Qin with a small square box made of mahogany in his hand, and put it in his hand.
Innis said, "Uncle Qin, this is 800 taels of silver. ”
"Miss~ What are you?" Mr. Qin didn't know the intention of Yueshi.
"Uncle Qin, I can't keep you working in the pawnshop." innis said truthfully.
Suddenly, with a pop, Mr. Qin knelt in front of Innis and said guiltily, "Miss, I was wrong, for the sake of my hard work, don't drive me away." I need this job. ”
Innis turned her head and helped Mr. Qin to get up, "Uncle Qin, you really tormented me." ”
"Uncle Qin, the most important thing in business is integrity, once you lose integrity, it will be difficult to move an inch. This is even more true when it comes to being a human being! Uncle Qin, don't you know this truth better than me? You have been following my father for more than ten years, and you have been under me for two years, if you have my father and me in your eyes, no matter what difficulties you have, we are willing to lend a hand, but you have chosen not to say anything and betrayed, colluding with outsiders to steal. If the stolen goods cannot be retrieved, don't you know how much impact this will have on the pawnshop? If the customer knows about this, who else will want to come to Ruibao Pawn in the future. Ruibao is the business that my father has worked hard for most of his life, and it is you and my father who have watched it grow little by little. Uncle Qin, you had many opportunities to choose at the beginning, but you chose to be treacherous......"
For innis, she can't rub sand in her eyes, she can accept a person's mistakes and give him a chance to mend his ways, but she will never allow betrayal.
Old Mr. Qin was so guilty that he couldn't feel ashamed.
"Uncle Qin, take these silver taels, it can be regarded as your reward for helping my father and me over the years. For you and your aunt, this is enough money for you to live for most of your life. Your child has also reached the age of weak crowns, and you two elders should no longer spoil him, and he should also support himself, instead of pampering and causing trouble, and stretching out his hand to ask you for money with his mouth closed. ”
Qin Bo looked at Innis in surprise, "Miss, you know. ”
Innis nodded, "Let's go down." ”
Yueqiu handed the small box to Uncle Qin's hand, Uncle Qin took it, and looked at Innis apologetically, "Miss, thank you for your magnanimity, can you not tell the master about this matter?" ”
"Hmm."
Qin Bo's eyes were moist, and he turned to leave with tears in his eyes. Innis had done her duty, and if she had disregarded her friendship, she would have informed the government of the matter long ago. But she didn't, he betrayed them, and she just fired him and gave him a large sum of money for his retirement...... How much face does he have to make her so tolerant of her mistakes.
Innis sat on the stool, feeling very sad, Mr. Qin watched her grow up, she watched Mr. Qin grow old slowly, the bonds of more than ten years could not be cut by a day of betrayal and 800 taels of silver. She knew the bitterness of Mr. Qin's betrayal: his son, who had reached the age of a weak crown, injured the prefect's son because of trivial matters, and the government asked him to compensate a large amount of compensation, but Mr. Qin couldn't come up with so much money, so he had evil thoughts and colluded with outsiders to steal things from the pawnshop. He doesn't have to! If he could talk about it, she would be willing to help him solve such a matter. After all, what can be solved with money is not a big problem, and he is not desperate...... In the end, he chose to betray......
She didn't think that a person who had known her for more than ten years and was more like a relative than a relative would choose to betray because of such a small matter.
This is unacceptable to her!
Yueqiu saw Innis's depressed appearance, and her usual sharp teeth became clumsy. Walked out of the room and ran out into the street.
When Yueqiu returned with a box of innis's favorite red bean cakes and chestnut cakes, she saw Yufu standing panting at the door of the pawnshop.
Yueqiu asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Yufu gasped and stammered, "Husband..... Madam..... Let me come, let ...... Miss....... Go home and have important people...... I want to see Miss. ”
When Yueqiu heard this, she ran to the room on the second floor and told Innis about it.
Yueshi looked surprised, guessing that the two elders arranged a blind date for her again?
Yufu, who was relieved, said, "Miss, it's from the palace. The lord and the lady told you to hurry home and not make them wait for a long time. ”
Innis reflexively recalls yesterday's old woman and the three princes? Could it be them? They found out who she was so quickly?
Yueshi couldn't bear it, and wanted to find out, and after telling the shopkeeper Tong and Yu Qiao'an, she walked quickly towards the Ye Mansion, and Yueqiu and Yufu stepped up their pace to follow.
On the street, Qingli shouted at the bun shop, "Auntie, I want 10 buns." ”
"Okay!"
Qingli squatted next to the steamed bun shop with a steamed bun in his hand, and helped shout while nibbling on the steaming bun in his hand, "Bun, just ...... Baked...... The steamed buns, hot gas...... Tengteng ..... The buns, walked through the ..... Don't ...... If you miss it, you can buy it, just come and smell it, and make sure you love ......."
When he saw Innis in a hurry, his eyes looked at her back intently, he stopped shouting and muttered softly, "Isn't this innis?" ”
When I remembered that I had taken her things, I felt sorry for her. But in the end, the stolen things were taken back, and the guilt was reduced by more than half. The most odious thing was that another old woman dared to lie to him, causing him to hurry back to clean up the unreliable things, and they finally had a little conscience, and only took the things of little value......
Forget it, these people don't provoke. But what is the relationship between innisia and the purple-clothed beauty last night, oh no, the old lady in purple? Looking at the back, it's really quite similar.
