Chapter Twenty-Three: Disappearance
In the courtyard outside the lobby of the Lu family are dozens of maids and maids, in the middle are the six shopkeepers and tents in Beijing standing in two columns, and the four old people sitting on the circle chairs, and there are some farmers squatting in the outer courtyard across the double gate who have rushed to hear the news, all nervously waiting for the news.
Lu Zhaojin sat on the red sandalwood throne in front of the hall, his small body was less than a quarter of the empty seat, but he was dignified and majestic, full of nobility.
"Miss, this is the account book for half a year, please take a look." Cai Zhongtang waved his hand, and the three little guys came forward with a thick account book that was higher than his own.
Lu Zhaojin naturally knew that Cai Zhongtang dared not to stumble on her, and let her gather everyone, that is, she was sure that she could hold her, and this dismount was right in her weakness.
In her previous life, she didn't take care of the accounts much before she got married, and after she got married, because of Mrs. Ye's high pressure, she didn't dare to touch these account books, so she was not good at this. But this life is different, Lu Zhaojin glanced at Cai Zhongtang, and waved his order: "Pick out the accounts with the horse gang separately and send them to the lobby, and someone will check them." ”
As if it was a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Cai Zhongtang's whole body was tense.
He had always thought that Lu Zhaojin was dissatisfied with him, but now he grabbed the accounts of the Ma Gang with a sharp point, what did she want to do? Or did she know something?
Seeing Lu Zhaojin jumping off the red sandalwood throne and instructing Xu Si to say a few words, he paced in the crowd, and quickly selected the four people with sharp eyes and hands, Cai Zhongtang's face became even darker.
He really underestimated the daughter of the great doctor Lu!
Look at her quiet on weekdays, but her eyes are extremely ruthless, these four people are all diehards who have received the grace of the great doctor Lu to save his life, and they are all on his removal list.
Hateful! Lu Zhaojin's move was too fast, as long as he was given three more days, he would be able to drive these dead bones out of the Lu Mansion and break Lu Zhaojin's claws.
Lu Zhaojin arranged for these four people to enter the lobby, thanks to the blessing of the previous life, she remembered clearly which twelve family members were left in the Lu Mansion in the end, and these four people who knew the accounts were one of them. If they were to keep all the accounts, they might not be able to keep up, but for the horse gang that had only been trading for half a year, the four of them would be busy for an hour.
Lu Ping saw tears in his eyes, it turned out that Miss was not confused, she was not raising tigers, Miss was waiting for Cai Zhongtang to dig her own grave!
"In this way, in just half a year, my Lu family's industry in Beijing has shrunk so much. Senior Brother Cai, do you have anything else to add? After listening to the report, Lu Zhaojin looked at Cai Zhongtang with a faint expression, as if the lost money was just a few inconspicuous figures, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"The old man passed away, and our Lu family medicine store lost its pillar, so naturally we will suffer a lot of impact." Senior Brother Cai's words were earnest.
The people present nodded in agreement, and the shopkeeper stood up, "Yes, if Mr. Cai hadn't come up with Ma Fang's business, we would have been even more guilty." ”
Lu Zhaojin glanced at him, he didn't know this shopkeeper, but he also understood his position.
"It seems that this Ma Fang is the treasure who saved my Lu family from danger." Lu Zhaojin didn't screw it anymore, Senior Brother Rong Cai smiled fakely, and was complimented by everyone.
"Then let's see how much Ma Fang earns later." Lu Zhaojin took a leisurely sip of tea, and his eyelids were not raised.
Senior Brother Cai's smile froze on his face, and the faces of several shopkeepers were not very good-looking.
Although Ma Fang's account is skillful, because the profit and loss figures are too large, they can't pick up much profit at all, isn't this **** naked slap in the face?
The report was half an hour away, and as the sun rose higher and higher, Lu Zhaojin looked at the four clan elders, "What do the four clan uncles think?" ”
"This Mr. Cai has a great contribution to the Lu family, I can't figure out what you want to do!" Crutches, his head shook like a rattle, and the old man opened his mouth first, obviously dissatisfied with Lu Zhaojin's actions, and the remaining two also responded with each other, only one old man Peng snorted, "What a great achievement, it is a great achievement if it is calculated!" The Lu family has practiced medicine for generations, and if our ancestors also left it like this, we will assist on the right road, you see, what is it now! ”
Lu Zhaojin glanced at it, and Old Man Yu, who originally wanted to argue with Old Man Peng, was stunned, and then heard the girl's yellow bird-like voice sound: "Third Uncle Yu, I heard that your family's medicine house has also contributed a lot this time, so how is your family's implementation of this change to horse grass?" ”
Old Man Yu's eyes flickered, and anyone with a little foresight in this matter of changing to horse grass could see that it was a move to cut off his foundation, how could he do it.
This girl is usually inconspicuous, and this opening of her eyes and thoughts is too poisonous, and a sentence pierced his heart.
"My family only has a few acres of medicinal fields, since the Lujiazhuang household has changed, we will not be needed, we must plant some medicinal herbs if we open a medicine shop."
"I see...... before Lu Zhaojin finished speaking, Old Man Peng said angrily: "Fart!" You didn't even think about replanting at home! I said, Zhaojin, you can't promise to change to such a thing......"
"Old man Peng." Cai Zhongtang called in a cold voice, "The thirty acres of medicinal fields in your family are all not abundant this year, if you don't hurry up and plant some horse grass to nourish the land, I'm afraid..."
Lu Zhaojin was keenly aware that Old Man Peng's face was flushed, but he took it back, as if the old man was controlled by others.
She still remembered that when the Lu family was in ruins, all the uncles of the four families withdrew from the Lu family's medicine store, and the three families of the Yu family all took refuge in Cai Zhongtang and lived a very nourishing life, only the old man Peng suddenly fell ill and died when Lu Zhaojin's third senior brother was beheaded by the East Market for the Lu family, and the Peng family was defeated.
"Afraid of what?" Lu Zhaojin raised his eyebrows, "My two ancestors are sworn brothers, and the Peng family's land is not a plant, and my Lu family's medicine store is still supplied." ”
Old Man Peng's face was even redder, his eyes were wide, and he was about to open his mouth when he saw a young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly running in, and he was frightened by this scene, and his mouth trembled and said that he couldn't say clearly, but Cai Zhongtang's face was very ugly.
Lu Zhao stood up in a hurry, she remembered that this was the little guy who had been ordered to pick up Zhaoning just now.
"Say it out loud!" Lu Zhaojin scolded, and the lobby, which was still a little timid and whispering, quieted down, "What about the people of Zhaoning?" ”
"Zhao ...... Senior Brother Zhaoning ran ...... Ran. ”
"Bold!" Lu Zhaojin shouted loudly, so frightened that the little guy fell to his knees, "Lu Zhaoning is the fourth disciple of my Lu family, he still needs to escape when he returns to the Lu family?" ”
The little guy trembled and looked at the apricot eyes and stared at the imposing girl in red, who didn't know how to report it, and suddenly said incoherently: "We said that the eldest lady came back and wanted to see him, but he didn't believe it, saying that we lied to him to go back, and then he ...... I took the opportunity to run! ”
Where can Lu Zhaojin still not understand, the peach-like complexion rarely shows a trace of ruthlessness.
Zhao Ning obviously fled to the school to avoid Cai Zhongtang, thinking that this time it was an excuse for Cai Zhongtang to arrest him back, so he seemed to have to escape.
He is a nine-year-old child, what did Cai Zhongtang do to him, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to go home!
"Cai Zhongtang! I read that you are the biological brother of the senior brother, and you are respectful everywhere, you dare to betray your virtue and forget your roots, and persecute Zhaoning! Lu Zhaojin couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly, before her words fell, he saw Xu Si coming out of the backyard with a gloomy face, his fists squeaked, and he bowed down with a murderous spirit: "Sure enough, as the eldest lady expected, Cai Zhongtang, a brute who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, dared to destroy the relics of the old man!" ”
"Miss, it's out, it's out."
The four people in charge of accounting came out of the lobby with four account books, and the leader was too excited to realize the imminent situation at the scene, and said excitedly: "Miss! There's really something wrong with this account! ”
