Su Ziran received the contract and title deed of the shop, and was in a good mood. But it only took a day to reconcile the accounts, and she almost fainted.

Originally, the old lady didn't say that these properties were for her, why was Qi Huanyuan willing to toss so much?

Only five of the more than 20 shops are profitable, and the profits are only a few small profits. The remaining few are almost maintaining the balance of the books, and this is all that, and the most infuriating thing is that there are still more than a dozen of those shops that are losing money! You must know that when Lao Taijun was in charge, none of these shops were not the most popular shops in the capital!

For the whole night, Su Ziran didn't sleep well. Early the next morning, she freshened up and went straight to the shops with the blue smoke.

In the past, she hardly went out of her courtyard, or she was at the old lady's place, and she didn't even slip through the Prime Minister's Mansion properly, let alone outside, so it was impossible for the owners of these shops to know her. After patrolling this circle, let alone blue smoke, even Su Ziran was so angry that she couldn't cry or laugh.

More than a dozen of the more than 20 shops change their shopkeepers every few months, and they don't know much about what happened in the shops. Some jade shops and jewelry stores look like people coming and going, and business is doing well, but in fact, the books are all negative. As for the inns and taverns, the wooden planks are already creaking when stepped on, and even the signboards and counters representing the façade are stained with a lot of dust.

"Miss, there's an antique shop and a jewelry shop." Lan Yan was silent after saying this, and she didn't mention what she told the master. Because she knows that what the young lady can rely on has never been the master. In the past, it was the old lady, but now there is only the young lady herself.

"Well," Su Ziran looked at a shop in front of him that looked like an antique shop, and asked Lan Yan sideways, "It's Mobaozhai in front, right?" ”

Blue Smoke nodded.

As soon as he moved his steps, before he reached the door of the store, he heard a small curse from inside.

"Don't look at your poor and sour appearance, how can there be Wang Yi'an's true works?" The man standing behind the counter looked at the scholar in front of him with disdain.

Su Ziran estimated that it was the shopkeeper of Mobaozhai who touched the brocade clothes but had a sour and mean face, and he didn't make a sound, just stood aside and looked at them quietly.

The scholar was in rags, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and was described as withered, and he looked like a long-term malnourished. But the washed and yellowed clothes did not give people a dirty and torn feeling at all, but had a faint bookish atmosphere. At this moment, he was looking at the man in brocade with an anxious face: "Shopkeeper, this is my family's ancestral treasure!" If it weren't for the fact that Uchiko was in dire need of medicine money, I wouldn't have taken it out and sold it! ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it!" The shopkeeper waved his hand at him, with a look of disgust, "Just three hundred taels of silver!" ”

The scholar was taken aback.

"You...... You...... What did you say? Obviously angry, the scholar couldn't even speak.

This is Wang Yi'an's real work!

If you weren't in a hurry to sell it, you would have to take it out for two or three thousand, but this shopkeeper said three hundred taels?

"You what you! Is it too little? The shopkeeper slapped his palm on the counter, "If it weren't for your poor appearance, this fake would be a fake, even if it looks like it, our store won't accept it!" ”

"Then don't accept it!" The scholar was also furious. After that, he took the calligraphy and painting and really turned around and wanted to leave.

He didn't believe that there was no other honest antique shop in the capital except for this Mobaozhai!

"Stop!" The shopkeeper rushed out of the counter impatiently and blocked in front of the scholar, "I don't think you dare to sell, right?" Say, you didn't steal this calligraphy and painting! ”

"You talk nonsense!" The scholar's face turned red, and he looked angry after being wronged, "Where does a scholar have a reason to steal things!" ”

Su Ziran stood aside and listened funny, this scholar's thinking is really pedantic, there is a difference between people who don't read when they steal something?

But this true temperament is to her liking.

She walked up to them, sat down on a mahogany chair in the store, and said softly, "Childe, three thousand taels, I want your painting." ”

Several people in the store were stunned at the same time.

Lan Yan moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. She knows that the young lady is kind-hearted, but she doesn't know whether this calligraphy and painting is true or false, what can she do if the three thousand taels of silver are lost?

The scholar's eyes lit up, and the whole person suddenly became a lot more energetic: "Girl, you ...... Can you see that this calligraphy and painting are real? ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he heard what the scholar said, he immediately walked towards Su Ziran with an angry face.

Where did the yellow-haired girl come from, she dared to spoil his good deeds! The fat meat that reaches the mouth can't let such a stinky girl who has not dried up be stirred!

"Stinky girl, do you dare to take care of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"How did it become a matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Su Ziran frowned, looking puzzled.

"This Mobao Zhai is an industry under the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" The shopkeeper looked at her appearance and thought she was afraid, and then took a closer look at the clothes on her body, which were not precious treasures, and he was more confident, "How about it, you know you're afraid, right?" If you're scared, get out! ”

Lan Yan forcibly held back the anger that slapped him to death with a palm, and stood behind Su Ziran with a gloomy face.

Su Ziran smiled: "Of course I know that this is the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's just that this son didn't say he wouldn't sell it to you? Then I want it, why am I in charge of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

The shopkeeper choked and waited viciously for Su Ziran.

Seeing his ruthless face, the scholar hurriedly wanted to pull Su Ziran and run away, but considering whether men and women were kissed or not, one hand was frozen in the air, which gave the shopkeeper a chance to react, and scolded loudly: "Where did he do this master!" Today's calligraphy and painting must be sold if it is sold, and it must be sold if it is not sold! ”

"If Childe can trust me, go back to the house with me to get the money." Su Ziran didn't hear the shopkeeper's angry reprimand, looked at the scholar fixedly, and motioned for him to leave.

The scholar saw that although the woman's appearance was ordinary, her temperament was noble, and her body exuded an undoubted fierce momentum, and he couldn't help but be taken out by her gaze.

"Stop!"

The shopkeeper caught up with hatred, stretched out his hand to grab Su Ziran's hand, but was grabbed by Lan Yan.

"Ouch...... Yo...... Yo ......" The shopkeeper's face turned white in pain, and Lan Yan threw him away with a look of disgust.

Su Ziran walked to the door and stopped, paused, and turned around in the surprise on the scholar's face.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will no longer be the shopkeeper of Mobao Zhai."

The shopkeeper was stunned by her words, and seemed to have forgotten even the pain, and looked at her through gritted teeth: "What did you say?" ”

"I said, from tomorrow onwards, you don't have to come again!"

"What qualifications do you have to order Lao Tzu!" The shopkeeper was obedient this time, and he didn't rush forward again, but his face seemed to be about to be swallowed alive by Su Ziran, "Lao Tzu is a member of the Qi family, and he is the cousin of the owner of this Mobao Zhai!" Why do you stinky girl talk to Lao Tzu like this! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will make you unable to stay in the capital tomorrow! ”

"Do you have bad ears or bad brains?" Su Ziran hooked her lips, and the depths of her eyes were full of teasing, "I'm not ordering you, I'm just informing you." ”

"You ......" the shopkeeper was about to scold again, thinking about this sentence carefully, a bad premonition flashed in his mind, "Who are you?" ”

Su Ziran didn't answer his question, lowered his eyes, his eyes flowed, and he muttered to himself: "This Mo Bao Zhai used to belong to the old lady, and now it is mine." I never knew that someone from the Qi family had become my cousin. ”

The scholar finally reacted, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly saluted: "Miss Su! ”

It is rumored that the second lady of Su Mansion has no talent, no virtue and no appearance, but when I see it today, in addition to her appearance is really not good, her virtue and talent are far higher than the rumors among the people!

"Are you...... You ......" The shopkeeper's mouth instantly opened so much that he could almost stuff an egg, and his face turned pale, "You are the second miss?" ”

"Heh......" Su Ziran sneered, "Where do you dare to be the shopkeeper of this second miss?" ”

"Second Miss......" The shopkeeper called again, which was considered a sign of weakness, but his face changed from the original surprise to calm.

Su Ziran pointed to the guy behind the counter: "You, come out!" ”

The guy was stunned, and after reacting, he immediately trotted out: "What does the second lady command?" ”

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be the acting shopkeeper of Mobao Zhai. If you do well, you can be promoted to the treasurer in the future. ”

The guy stood there stunned, not to mention thanksgiving, and he didn't even have the reaction he should have.

The shopkeeper's face turned blue and white for a while, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Second Miss, I am Madame's cousin, and you are not qualified to drive me away." ”

"Oh?" Su Ziran seemed to be interested, walked to the chair and sat down, "Then the shopkeeper said, why am I not qualified?" ”

"You...... You ......" The shopkeeper's face had turned blue-gray, but he couldn't hold back a word.

"If I'm not mistaken, these shops have never belonged to Mrs. Qi, right?"

"In addition......" Su Ziran glanced at Lan Yan, who hurriedly took out the account book and threw it in front of the shopkeeper, "I don't plan to just settle these accounts." Are you going to spit out what you swallowed, or are you going to send you to justice? ”

The shopkeeper glared at her with a look of resentment and did not say a word.

"Shopkeeper!" Su Ziran shouted, the shopkeeper thought he was calling him, frowned and was about to respond, but when he saw the woman's eyes staring at the original guy in the store, he suddenly trembled with anger. The guy also seemed to notice the woman's gaze, glanced at the man with an angry face beside him, stepped forward stubbornly, and cautiously responded, "What does the second lady command?" ”

"Seeing him like this, he doesn't plan to throw up. You go and report to the officer. ”

The guy was surprised.

He thought the second lady was joking!

What can I do now?

Do you really want to offend Madame?

But it depends on the status of these two young ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion......

"Don't you dare?" Su Ziran raised her eyebrows, smiled in a low voice, and suddenly muttered, "If you don't even have such guts, you are indeed not qualified to be the shopkeeper of Mobaozhai." ”
