Chapter 77: The City
has Shen Moci in his heart, and Song Qinwen unconsciously thinks about her when he speaks and acts. In the process of being sent back by the dark guards, he had weighed the pros and cons many times on the silent mountain road.
Stealing the deed of the shop at home is an act of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, and it is not an exaggeration if he is usually tied up by the clan elders and sunk into the pond. He knew this matter very well, and when he first received Ah Ci yesterday afternoon, he saw King Ping hugging her excitedly, although he felt that the green on his robe was almost spreading to the top of his head, but he still secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay in this way, King Ping has feelings for Ah Ci and will definitely protect her.
But he didn't expect that King Ping would be so vulnerable in the face of the little marquis. However, in just half a day, the valley camp was completely taken over by the little marquis.
This matter made him understand one thing thoroughly, King Ping was unreliable, and Ah Ci must not hand it over to him. But apart from King Ping, he realized how powerless he was. It is useless to be a scholar, he can't pick his hand or lift it, even if he has the intention to take Ah Ci away to start over, but the two of them don't even have the identity documents to clear customs along the way.
After thinking about it, now A-Yao can only return to the Shen family. Originally, it was a little tricky to steal the house deed, but now a little marquis appeared out of thin air......
Think about the stakes and know that the Shen family is the only way in front of Ah Ci. When facing Shen Jinshan's interrogation, Song Qinwen tried his best to exonerate her. Being able to take the top spot in the academy examination, he is already brilliant, and coupled with his affection and gratitude to Shen Moci for men and women, this will make him more attentive.
"The Shen family's deep mansion compound, the maid and the mother-in-law are innumerable, and there are countless people staring at each step. With Ah Ci as a weak woman, how to break through the defense and get the deed? β
Shen Jinshan nodded, he had a lot of money in his life, and the study room with the deed box was even more important to the Shen family. The courtyard and the courtyard work four shifts on weekdays, staring at it for twelve hours a day, don't say that Ah Ci is such a big living person, but he can't even fly into it. If she had no one to help her, he would have been the first to disbelieve.
He believed in his own layout so much that Shen Jinshan forgot how fierce he and the Sun family quarreled with yesterday afternoon. All kinds of accumulated scandals were said regardless of the outside, not only the people of Qingcheng listened excitedly, but even the people of the Shen family hid behind the gate and pricked up their ears to listen. The study was originally located in the front yard, and I heard of it first. Although there were some people in the nursing home on duty, most of them couldn't hold back for a long time, and ran outside to stick to the outer wall and poke their heads out to listen.
"Besides, Ah Ci cares about the Shen family."
After sorting out his thoughts, Song Qinwen lied without blushing and heartbeat: "After the failure of the warm pot banquet in the courtyard the night before yesterday, His Royal Highness King Ping was furious, and he put Xia and Ah Ci in prison and persecuted him in every way, but Ah Ci kept biting and did not let go. Until His Royal Highness became angry, he took the matter of Master Shen in front of him, in a vain attempt to attack the Shen family and make up for the loss. β
"And such a thing?"
When Shen Moci came out of the prison, the Song family had already told Shen Jinshan about it during the quarrel. Although the person who threw the two into prison at that time was the little marquis, everything was done in secret by the secret guards, even if Shen Jinshan wanted to verify it, he couldn't find any conclusive evidence. What's more, he didn't have the energy or the heart to verify it at all, as Song Qinwen said, the Shen family's investment in King Chengping was true, but the warm pot banquet was not completed, but he turned his head and made a big show at the military salary banquet in Yunlai Building, and donated 1.8 million taels.
Who wouldn't be angry?
I thought that by giving Ah Ci to King Ping, I could temporarily stabilize him, and then slowly figure him out after becoming the head of the meeting. Unexpectedly, the eldest daughter was sent out, but King Ping used her to oppose the army, but she really lost her wife and broke her army.
"Ping, Wang!"
Thinking of this, Shen Jinshan almost believed it, and he almost spit out these two words from between his teeth.
In desperation, Ah Ci could only agree. Master Shen, Ah Ci is certainly at fault, but King Ping is powerful, and she can't help it! In the end, Song Qinwen's face was full of compassion, and his heartbroken voice spread to every corner of the hall.
Ping Wang is powerful?
When these four words came, Shen Jinshan first disagreed. King Ping, that's just a wine bag and rice bag, relying on a good background.
Even if Song Qinwen said it well, Shen Jinshan still believed ninety percent of it, but he was suspicious and still secretly kept a hundred percent of his eyes. Intuition told him that there should be something strange about this.
Without moving, he ordered someone to send Song Qinwen away directly.
Speaking this kung fu day is already bright, according to the rules, the shen family should also keep a meal. But yesterday, there was a big explosion in front of the mansion, and then after the theft of the house deed, now the Shen family is in chaos, and the Sun family, who is in charge of the back house, has a second heart, and he doesn't even prepare a hot soup for Shen Moci, let alone any breakfast.
Unlike when Shen Jinshan personally greeted the half-sitting city and invited the people to carry the sedan chair to invite in, when Song Qinwen left, only the Shen family's gatehouse opened the side door to just allow one person to pass through the guΓ², and when he crossed the threshold, before he could go down the steps, the back door was closed tightly with a "bang".
The difference in treatment made Song Qinwen feel faintly uncomfortable, and before he could frown, a voice came from under the steps.
"Someone from the Shen family has come out."
With a bad premonition, Song Qinwen looked up and saw more than a dozen dirty beggars surrounded in front of the gate of the Shen family. The only white eye on their faces was staring at him. Before he could react, he saw the beggars in the middle of the station shouting at both sides.
"None of the Shen family is a good thing, and Shen Jinshan has done all the shameless things. Brothers, one by one, he was spitted to death. β
As his words fell, more than a dozen beggars rushed up in unison. When Song Qinwen realized that something was wrong, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to cover his face, and he spat at the door in front of him. Then the leading beggar rushed over, knocked him to the ground, and rolled down the steps. Falling heavily under the steps, he was surrounded by beggars, punched, kicked, and spitted, and even stomped on his face with feet that were so black that he couldn't see the color.
scolding while stepping on them, from their scolding, Song Qinwen vaguely pieced together the truth. Yesterday, the Shen family and his wife quarreled in front of the house, and the Sun family revealed many shortcomings of Shen Jinshan.
"Laba soup porridge, in order to save a spoonful of rice, he actually poured the leftover porridge he drank into it."
"It's a trivial matter, our Hanako eats less saliva from others. But he actually caught Xiaohuazi and pulled the bellows in the small black room, so I said why the little tail that followed me suddenly disappeared, it turned out that they were caught. The donkey who pulls the mill can still come out to eat grass after finishing the work, our Huazi is also a human being, and it is not as good as an animal in the hands of the Shen family. β
The Sun family has known Shen Jinshan too well for many years, and he suffocated him to death without a stick, with his faceless and ruthless temperament, he can do anything in the future. Even if this will ruin the Shen family, and even ruin her son's future, it is better than sitting still, being sold by him in the dowry shop, returning to his parents' house, and still half dead in the backyard.
After thinking about it, she told all the bad things Shen Jinshan had done, whether it was true or chasing after the wind.
The people didn't care if it was true or not, they only knew that the Sun family was the wife of the Shen family, and what she said was definitely not false. Convinced, they found that many of the evil things Shen Jinshan had done were really related to their own family, and they called it hatred in their hearts. If it weren't for the busy time when the spring silkworms were forming cocoons, there would never be only these dozen or so beggars who had nothing to do all day long.
Even if there are only a dozen people, it is more than enough to deal with a weak scholar. Song Qinwen had just been tortured by two secret guards who were proficient in criminal law the night before, and the old injuries had not yet healed, and this time he was punched and kicked again, and he soon couldn't bear it.
"I ...... Not the Shen family. Falling to the ground, Song Qinwen was dying.
"Still lying, I'll just say that the Shen family doesn't have a good thing."
"Such a strong young man, he will be half dead after two touches, I think eighty percent of them are pretending."
"It must be pretended, keep going, don't listen." The beggars didn't believe it at all, and not only that, but they felt that they had been deceived and kicked and beat harder. Although he was lucky enough to escape the search of the secret guards in the valley and was not punished with Shen Moci and King Peace, in the end, he still managed to run away from the monk and couldn't run away from the temple.
"Why is it so noisy up front?"
In the double-riding luxury carriage with the Hu family's logo, Ah Yao asked Qingshuang who was serving next to her.
After leaving in front of Shen's house yesterday, she went to the official office with her father. There are deeds witnessed by the little marquis, even if Shen Jinshan himself was not present, several house deeds were quickly renamed. There was only a little episode in it, she was standing quietly on the side and waiting, but when the new deed was ready and signed, Daddy called her over and handed her the brush.
"Ah Yao has worked hard recently, and these shops also have your credit, so I just took them to practice."
The five shops used by the Shen family to pay off debts were given to her by Daddy in this way.
Hu Jiuling, who sent the shop, thought so, first of all, he is such a child, and in the future, the Hu family will not all be hers, and it will be the same in the morning and evening. In addition, he has other plans, even if the wolf cub agrees to give him up, it is necessary to guard against people. After all, the other party is the little marquis, and it is inconvenient for him to make a move. But A-Yao's side is much more convenient, it really happens that she has been studious recently, and she has given a few shops just for her to practice, and when she is busy, she will not have time to take care of the wolf cub.
Ah Yao didn't know anything about these thoughts, she was only afraid that she was inexperienced and couldn't run the shop well.
"When you go to the academy, you have to pay the shackles, how can you learn things without paying tuition. Ah Yao, don't worry, even if you are all lost, it will be fine. Hu Jiuling said angrily. Anyway, it's the Shen family's things, and it's not distressing to spoil it.
Listening to Daddy's arrogant words, Ah Yao was moved to tears. After the painting was finished, she was full of enthusiasm and did not go back to the house to rest, but directly ordered Hu Gui to transfer manpower and go to the shop to accept it.
In front of his own girl, Hu Gui has always known everything and said everything. On the way there, he told SΓΉ Ayao that the most important thing in charge of the shop is not to do it yourself, but to select credible people, which coincides with what Brother Jing said in Kukai's master class before the military salary banquet.
As a human being in two lives, Ah Yao is a complete novice to running a business. She is not very flexible, but she has a good temper and can listen to other people's opinions. According to Brother Jing's method, the military salary banquet was really successful, and the noble uncles who were close to her said so, and she had completely believed it.
However, it is useless to understand these truths, people's hearts are unpredictable, and how to choose capable and trustworthy people is even more difficult than doing it yourself.
Hu Gui also understands this, the Hu family shop is still easy, there are craftsmen who have been in business for a hundred years, and they have been working in the shop all year round, and it is easy to see how their character and ability are. But now I am going to the Shen family's shop, and many people in it have been loyal to the Shen family for generations. If you dismiss them all, it will affect your reputation, and it will be difficult to find someone so skilled for a while. People must stay, but who should be in charge?
Along the way, the two of them were so worried about this matter that they never thought that this matter would be solved when they just got off the carriage.
It was Su Xiaoqiao's father who solved this matter, the day before the recruitment banquet, A-Yao went to the street, and when she passed by Baicaotang, she saw Su Xiaoqiao grabbing medicine, and after learning why her family was sleepy, she promised to arrange a new errand for Su's father in the Hu family. After leaving the gate of Baicaotang, she ordered someone to go back to the house to tell Uncle SΓΉ.
Hu Gui has always attached great importance to his girl's requirements, and arranged a special arrangement for Su's father at Hu's house that afternoon, and visited him in person. Suddenly, the preferential treatment, Su's father, who had been excluded by Shen Moci's family for several years, was simply flattered, and gratitude was not enough to express his excitement at that time. But he is a very responsible person, and he said that he must finish the Shen family's affairs before he can quit his job.
Hearing this, Hu Gui was not angry, but valued him more and more because of his character, and he agreed on the spot.
After receiving the promise, Su's father continued to work in the Shen family. When the two of them passed yesterday afternoon, it was just when he finished his work and came out of the dye shop in a clean dress. When he saw the two benefactors from afar, he greeted them excitedly.
And Hu Gui was also excited when he saw him, isn't Father Su, a person with good ability and character, and who inherits the Hu family's affection, the best candidate for the new manager?
Without waiting for him to speak, after listening to him explain his intentions, after learning that this shop now belongs to the Hu family, Father Su embarrassedly asked: "Don't hide it from the girl, the noble master, the little one has been working in this shop for most of his life, and he has long been used to it." Anyway, in the future, it will be for the Hu family, I wonder if the little ones can continue to work here? β
Of course!
The three of them entered the dyeing workshop, and Hu Gui took out the deed from A-Yao's hand, and announced on the spot that the dyeing workshop would belong to the Hu family in the future, and Su's father would be the new manager.
The previous steward of the dyeing workshop was squeezed out of Su's father, and he was guarded against and excluded for many years. This time, Su's father said that he was going to quit his job, he was gloating, and he counted him behind his back: a sick old man, if it wasn't for the old man in the dyeing workshop, he would have wanted him if he left here, but he couldn't even eat.
When Father Su left just now, he also gathered a bunch of his own doglegs and laughed at him on the side while he was changing his clothes.
I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly, Father Su just stepped out of the threshold and then stepped in, and in the blink of an eye, he became the shopkeeper of this dyeing workshop, and he became a buddy from the shopkeeper.
"I, Hu Jiaxin, took over this shop, and there needs to be some adjustments in people's hands. The ugly words are ahead, the Hu family does not raise idlers, and all those who steal and cheat will leave. But don't worry, as long as you work hard, don't talk about it, the monthly money will also be distributed according to my Hu family's shop, and the price will also rise. β
With a look, Ah Yao stood at the front. Standing diagonally behind her, Hu Gui beat a stick to give a sweet date, and after saying something, he quickly shocked everyone.
Then he turned his head and patted Father Su next to him trustingly: "As for the adjustment of manpower, it will be handed over to Brother Su." β
"I ......"
Father Su couldn't help but stammer, how could he call the shots for such a big matter. But when the trusting gaze of the girl of the Hu family came, the refusal to her mouth was swallowed raw. This is his benefactor, and he has to do it well for the sake of his benefactor.
Su's father used to be in charge of the dye shop, although he hadn't been in charge of it for a few years, but he quickly adapted to it after he really got started. He doesn't have much flexible brain, so he has a reason: whoever can do things well will be kept. He has been working in the shop for the past few years, and he knows everyone's temperament very well in close contact.
The first thing he wanted to do was the previous steward and the dogs behind him who could only slap their horses. There are reasons for personal vendettas, but the main thing is that they really don't know how to work.
Shen Moci never thought that in the blink of an eye, he wouldn't even be able to do it.
After taking these people, Su's father quickly changed it drastically. Thinking of A-Yao's kindness, he really has a hundred points of strength and can't wait to make two hundred points. In the middle of the afternoon, after changing the hands of the dyeing workshop, when Hu Gui vaguely asked about the other four places, he told all the information he knew, and called a few other people.
Like the Hu family, the Shen family has also been based in Qingcheng for a hundred years, and many families have been working in the shop for generations, and the relationship is complicated. There are some guys in the dyeing shop, and there are people in the family who are in other shops. After just one afternoon's effort, with the treacherous and cunning Hu Gui helping him, Ah Yao figured out the general situation of the five shops.
After a whole day of work, A-Yao slept very sweetly at night, but she had a dream at dawn. dreamed that after the death of her father in her previous life, the concubine came to the door, and Song Qinwen wanted to help her keep the family business. Under the siege of the tiger and wolf relatives, Song Qinwen, who was dressed in a light cyan robe, turned his head, and his face suddenly changed to Brother Jing.
After this dream, she couldn't sleep anymore, got up and washed her face, and began to sort out the situation of the five shops she learned yesterday on paper. Originally, she was going to go to the shop after breakfast, but when she had breakfast, news came from the wharf that a ship came from outside Jianhu, claiming to be a merchant ship of the Hu family, and the wharf did not receive news from the Hu family, so she did not dare to let it dock at will.
After the fundraising banquet, he had to prepare cash, but Hu Jiuling couldn't spare his hand, so A-Yao volunteered to deal with it.
Put on the carriage and came out of the Hu family, all the way to the west, passing by the front of the Shen family, hearing the noise in front of him, lifting the curtain and looking out, A-Yao saw the familiar light cyan robe in yesterday's dream.
"Brother Jing!"
The young man in the pale cyan robe in the dream was also surrounded by a group of people, and the familiar scene made Ah Yao cry out unconsciously.
"Parking! Hurry up and stop! β
The carriage stopped in front of the Shen family, and regardless of Qingshuang's outstretched hand, she lifted the skirt and jumped down neatly, and rushed to the beggar: "Stop!" β
