Chapter 240: Gains and Losses
"Jiu'er, what's wrong with you?" Luo Yan was taken aback when she entered the door and saw Jiu'er.
Jiu'er's eyes were blue, her eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn't cry when she saw Luo Yan. "Miss, the jewelry set by the Seven Princes is missing?"
"What?" Luo Yan couldn't believe it, "How many boxes are missing?" Luo Yan divided the Ai Lian jewelry into several cabinets and locked them. Two boxes lock one drawer.
"Two boxes."
"When did you find out?" Rong Xi asked as he went to the shop.
"I found it last night, and Yu Chen's son got up early in the morning and went to report the case." Jiu'er said weakly, obviously she didn't sleep all night last night, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
Luo Yan took Jiu'er's hand and told her not to be sad. "What about Zinian and Zichen?" Luo Yan was strange that there was silence in the shop, it was said that Luo Xiaochen was not a quiet teenager.
"Young Master Tang was taken home yesterday afternoon. Young Master Zinian and Young Master Yu went to report to the official together. ”
Luo Yan saw Rong Xi go to check the stolen drawer, and followed to see it. The four sides of the drawer are smooth and there are no traces of prying, and the furniture in the shop is also neatly and orderly, and there is no trace of thieves rummaging through the house at all......
Rong Xi looked at the cabinet drawer and was distracted, "Only lost two boxes?" ”
"Yes! There are only two boxes missing. ”
Rong Xi went to the window and door to look again. Jiu'er hurriedly said: "After the store was closed last night, I found out that two boxes of jewelry were stolen, and the doors and windows were not opened. ”
Rong Xi looked around and looked at Luo Yan, "What do you think of the lady?" ”
"I'm afraid I don't need to report this matter to the official!"
Rong Xi nodded, "It seems that the lady and I have the same opinion, what is the lady going to do?" ”
"I had to take a trip." Luo Yan said and locked the jewelry box that Rong Xi had placed on the table into the drawer, turned her head and said to Jiu'er, open the door! If Yu Chen comes back with the yacha, you will say that the thing has been found.
Luo Yan gave Jiu'er a few taels of broken silver, "If the yacha is annoyed, you can use these broken silver to beat them, so that Yuchen will not be misunderstood by the yacha and lie about the case." ”
Jiu'er kept listening to Rong Xi and Luo Yan talking, and didn't understand what the two said for a while. It wasn't until Luo Yan stuffed the silver into her hand that she was in a trance. "Where is Miss going?"
"Go find Luo Zichen!" Luo Yan said that he and Rong Xi had already left the hospital.
"Luo Zichen?" Jiu'er was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, his hand shook, and the broken silver fell to the ground with a click. Only then did she realize that it was Luo Zichen who stole the jewelry! Jiu'er touched the key to the drawer hanging on her body, and sure enough, one was missing......
When Luo Yan and Rong Xi came back, Yu Chen was sitting on the circle chair in a daze. Looking up and seeing Rong Xi coming in, Yu Chen hurriedly got up, "Did you really find the jewelry?" ”
Jiu'er looked at Luo Yan with a rectangular burden in her hand, and a hanging heart finally fell. She didn't tell Yuchen and Luo Xiaonian that Luo Zichen stole the jewelry, after all, she was Luo Yan's maternal relative. It's not good to say it.
"I didn't drink any water in the morning, and I was dying of thirst. Jiu'er, hurry up and help me make a cup of tea! Rong Xi smiled and said, "The jewelry was not lost, it was Zichen who took it home to show the Luo family aunt fresh, and I originally wanted to return it today." ”
"It's the slave damned, the more nervous I am about these jewelry, the more forgetful I become, I forgot that Young Master Zichen brought two boxes home when I counted last night......" Jiu'er echoed.
"Don't blame yourself, you can't be blamed for this, there are few people in the store. You're hanging the keys again, and you're too nervous. Luo Yan went to the stove to light a fire and prepare to boil water.
Jiu'er hurriedly snatched the firewood and added it to the stove. "I scared the slave to death last night, if I really lost the jewelry, the slave and maid's life can't afford to pay!"
"Don't say that!" Luo Yan took Jiu'er, "Your life is my life, there is nothing worth exchanging your life for!" Jiu'er wiped her eyes and burst into laughter.
"I was cooking at noon yesterday, and Young Master Zichen somehow splashed me with water. I changed my clothes and thought that the fire was still burning on the stove, so I hurried over and left the key in the room. He took away two boxes of jewelry, and now that he thinks about it, Young Master Zichen is really a little ghost! ”
Luo Yan smiled and did not make a sound.
"But how can he give you back the jewelry?"
"Zichen is just playful, and he is not bad-hearted." Luo Yan didn't tell the truth.
She and Rong Xi rushed to Uncle Luo's place. How could Luo Zichen admit the stolen goods! The eldest lady of the Luo family was even more arrogant and domineering, saying that Luo Shizi did not learn and did not know how to send Luo Zinian to her to eat and drink well to study, but now she wants to frame her son for stealing...... When Luo Zichen saw his mother say that, he also scolded Luo Yan and Rong Xi and drove them out.
If it weren't for Luo Yan's urgency, she pulled Luo Zichen into the small room and used her words again. How could Luo Zichen hand over his jewelry...... However, the eldest lady of the Luo family can no longer tolerate Luo Zinian to study in her house!
Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, it seems that Luo Zinian will have to follow her to settle in the capital in the future......
There were no guests all day, and it was getting dark. Luo Yan went to close the store, and Luo Zinian went to help, "My sister is much thinner than before, do you still like to read the words of Yi'an Jushi?" ”
"Zi Nian has also grown a lot taller than before, and he is almost taller than me!" Luo Yan tied the door panel and took Luo Xinian's hand, "I like the two books you gave my sister very much, but unfortunately Mu Xiyuan burned down when there was a fire, but I can memorize the poems of Yi'an Jushi." ”
"Sister don't be sad, I can buy it again and give it to my sister."
"What are you talking about so happy?" Rong Xi came in from the backyard with the door closed, and couldn't help but be happy to see the sister and brother chatting. For this brother-in-law who has heard of a big name for a long time but has never met, he likes it more and more.
"Xianggong has time to guide Zinian calligraphy."
"I heard that my brother-in-law is a disciple of a high-born person, and Zi Nian is eager for my brother-in-law to give me some advice."
Rong Xi smiled and touched Luo Zinian's head, "Okay, let's learn from each other in a while." ”
Luo Yan suddenly remembered Zhao Bocong's confession of letting Rong Xi enter the palace to play the piano, and said busily: "Xianggong should go to practice the piano first, if you don't play for a long time, I'm really afraid that you will miss when you don't play, if you make the queen mother unhappy, it will be a big crime!" ”
"Don't worry, since I promised my senior brother, I will not insult his face. Let's go and learn calligraphy. Rong Xi pulled Luo Zinian into the room, the two of them studied ink and laid paper, and one of them held a sheep's hair and wrote seriously.
Luo Yan turned on the light, looking at the warm picture of the two, she couldn't help but feel that if Luo Zinian followed them, it would be better than him at the uncle's house. Just thinking about it, Jiu'er came to eat.
Luo Yan sighed, walked out of the door, and didn't see Yu Chen, "Huh! What about Yu Chen? ”
Jiu'er smiled, "He has to learn to chop vegetables, he just cut his finger, and he's sad there!" ”
"It's fresh! When did Yu Chen start liking the work of the girl's house? Luo Yan said with a smile as she walked.
"Sister-in-law doesn't pity the fragrance and cherishes the jade, but she still has to say other people's cool words!" Yu Chen sat on the wooden bench in front of the stove and pouted, Xiao Qi wrapped his fingers around him, and wrapped them several times inside and out.
Seeing this, Jiu'er hurriedly said, "Wrapped like this, the fingers are not bloody, and the fingers are afraid to be wasted!" ”
"Ahh Hurry up and help me. Yu Chen grinned and stomped his feet, blowing into his fingers from time to time.
Jiu'er untied Xiao Qi's wrapping of cloth like a dumpling in circles, and finally revealed Yu Chen's fingers. Luo Yan couldn't help but smile when she saw Yu Chen's wound. Yu Chen's middle finger is missing a piece of skin......
On the second day, Xiao Qi and Jiu'er opened the store early, and as soon as Luo Yan sat behind the counter, Aunt Qifei from Zhaohualou entered the door......
