Jian Lan guessed correctly, Huo Danian was indeed not in the shop.

According to the manager of the shop, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the number of tailor-made people has skyrocketed, and the inventory is depleted much faster than expected. It was too late to purchase goods from Hangzhou, and the shopkeeper Huo went out to find other sources of goods a few days ago, and it was estimated that it would take three to five days to come back.

Mrs. Jian Si no longer trusted the people of Jinxiuzhai, so she specially transferred an old accounting room from Jane's shop to check the accounts, and as Jian Lan said, she did not find any problems. When Huo Danian left, he only took fifty taels of silver from the account for the carriage and horse fare, and did not carry the cash or silver tickets needed for the purchase.

Based on this alone, there is no way to report to the official to accuse him of smuggling with money.

had to follow the advice of the old account office and go to the government to record and replace the seal, so as not to prevent Huo Danian from signing the contract indiscriminately with the seal of the shop and doing things that were harmful to the shop.

Jian Lan concluded at first that Huo Danian was hidden by Jian Ying, but after thinking about it carefully, she always felt that something was wrong. She couldn't say what was wrong, and she guessed one thing wrong.

Fang Yiyun did not send Huo Jinrong to the Ji'an Palace, but seriously left people in Lihuayuan and asked her to teach the girls the double cross stitch method with the two needlework girls from the Jian Mansion.

Don't look at her young age, but she is ingenious and a good female celebrity. Jiang's mother once praised proudly, saying that the child followed her in this regard.

Fang Yiyun understood Jian Ying's intention to let her do this, that is, to facilitate her to explain to the Jian family in the future. Although everyone knew that she was helping Jian Ying, Mrs. Jian Si and that Lan girl would not confront her or hold her accountable. But you still have to go through the motions, and you always have to leave some dignity to see each other in the future, right?

What she didn't understand was that since Jian Ying wanted to leave Jiang's mother's family as a companion room, she just asked someone to come over, so why bother to play such a small trick with her own mother?

The next afternoon, she came to the Ji'an Palace, to discuss with Jian Ying how to solve the new problems that had arisen in the operation of Pear Garden, and when chatting, she asked this question.

Jian Ying had long expected her to ask, and sighed half-truthfully, "You must have heard about it." My mother took a fancy to the maiden niece of Mrs. Taiyuan. I plan to ask my seventh brother to be my daughter-in-law.

My sister's identity is a bit special, she is both the goddaughter of Mrs. Taiyuan and the niece and daughter-in-law.

Isn't there a saying in our Jinan Mansion that the daughter who will marry is three points more expensive? What did she ask for. My mother is satisfied if she can. Able to accommodate. just doesn't want his daughter to marry with grievances and dissatisfaction.

Some things that cannot be satisfied and accommodating are not easy to say.

Alas, it's not easy to be a stepmother. There are people who pick thorns when they do more and less. ”

Fang Yiyun's whole mind was on Pear Flower Garden, and he didn't care about such idle things as who was going to marry whom. After listening to Jian Ying's subtle words, it suddenly dawned on her, no wonder Mrs. Jian Si was so interested in a concubine, and it turned out that she intended to marry Mrs. Taiyuanhou's maiden family.

Although that Lan girl is the daughter of the Jian family, when she marries into the Taiyuan Marquis Mansion, she becomes the person at the end of the in-laws. She said a few good or bad words from it, which had a direct and non-negligible impact on this family business, and naturally she should be courteous.

Presumably, this Lan girl also realized this, and relied on her special identity to make some non-centrific requirements to Mrs. Jian Si, such as wanting Jiang's mother's family to be a companion.

However, the second young lady is pregnant and is quite picky about eating, and she is only used to eating the food cooked by Jiang's mother. Mrs. Jian Si was in a dilemma, and it was difficult to refuse, so the second young lady could only come forward to be this wicked person.

Bringing Jiang's mother's grandson and granddaughter out of Jian's mansion was probably to prevent that Lan girl from asking to take the two younger ones to the Taiyuan Marquis Mansion first, and then use this to dominate Jiang's mother. At that time, the second young lady will have to release people if she doesn't want to release them, and she can't let Jiang's mother and family be separated, right?

Fang Yiyun didn't like Jian Lan in the first place, because this matter added three points of disgust, and he didn't bother to delve into the reason. After sitting for a while, gossiping, he took his leave.

She had been gone for a while, and Hui Bai came over.

After seeing the salute, he said slowly: "Everything is ready, if there is no accident, Shopkeeper Huo will be able to get out tomorrow." ”

Jian Ying nodded, and didn't ask him what method he used to get Huo Danian out, only smiled and quipped, "So, you should propose marriage to me tomorrow?" ”

Hui Bai smiled generously, "The little one also wants to propose directly, I'm afraid that the one won't look down on the little one." ”

"Why don't you tell me who 'that' is now, and I'll help you find out?" Jian Ying instigated.

Hui Bai hesitated slightly, "Let's wait until tomorrow." ”

"You kid can still whet people's appetites." Jian Ying smiled and said a word of disgust, then waved him back.

Caiping sneakily followed out, and then ran back excitedly, "Second young lady, when Huibai went out, I glanced at Sister Jinping." ”

"What nonsense?" Jin Ping walked in from outside the door with a tray, and when he heard it, he immediately scolded, "It's just that I was in a hurry, and the corner of my skirt was hung by the door of the small kitchen, so that he could see it."

You chew your tongue again, and I'll clean you up carefully! ”

Caiping was spoiled by these sisters, and without the slightest fear, she said with a smile: "Anyway, I watched it, maybe I will be able to drink Sister Jinping's wedding wine tomorrow." ”

Although Jin Ping didn't have any thoughts about Hui Bai, when she said this, she still couldn't help blushing, put down the tray she was holding in her hand, and chased after Cai Ping to fight.

Fang's mother then came in, and when she saw the two of them making such a fuss, she couldn't help but sink her face, "What do you look like to be making trouble in front of the second young lady?" Can you afford to bump the second young lady and shock you? ”

Jin Ping and Cai Ping immediately became honest and stuck out their tongues behind their backs.

Early the next morning, the newly appointed shopkeeper of Jinxiuzhai rushed to Jian's mansion in a panic, "Fourth wife, it's not good, 'Sihaitong' is coming to the door." ”

"Sihaitong" is a special organization, set of commercial houses, dart bureaus, money as a whole, land and water, black and white, under the banner of "business prosperity through the four seas", specifically for business.

Once you get on the line with Sihaitong, you have to strictly follow their rules. They never take the initiative to come forward, and when they do, it must be because someone has violated their rules, and it also means that the person who is found is about to come to disaster.

Although Mrs. Jian Si did not show up to do business, she had heard of the name of "Sihaitong", and her face immediately turned pale when she heard the words, "They ...... Can they say why they found Jinxiuzhai? ”

The shopkeeper was infected by her emotions and became more and more frightened, "Said...... said that the shopkeeper Huo borrowed money from them to buy goods, and he didn't repay it on time......"
