Chapter 202: Punishment
[The 5,000-word chapter has been updated with 6,000 words~~]
After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she stopped talking, just sat aside and looked at the ledgers piled up on the table, this shopkeeper's hands and feet must not be clean!
Zhao Canniang could almost conclude this matter.
"The shopkeeper bring up all the ledgers!" Now that she has met it, Zhao Canniang can't let it go, there is still time left and right, and Zhao Canniang is planning to deal with it a little bit.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to get up and open the cabinet next to him and take out the account book from it.
When Chen Zhongqiu returned to the mansion, it was only afternoon, and when he returned to his yard, he found that Zhao Canniang had not come back, so he asked the people around him, only to find out that Zhao Canniang had not come back yet.
Chen Zhongqiu thought that something must have happened. Hurriedly rode out of the city in a carriage.
When I came to the town, I realized what Zhao Canniang did today, and I couldn't help but appreciate it in my heart.
Chen Zhongqiu walked to the rice shop, and the boss of the rice shop saw Chen Zhongqiu coming, and tears were about to fall.
As soon as he saw Chen Zhongqiu, he knelt down directly: "Son, you have to make the decision for me!" ”
Then the shopkeeper told Chen Zhongqiu with a handful of snot and tears: "Childe, I admit that I was really wrong before, but now I really know how to repent of it!" I am old and young, and the whole family depends on me to eat and drink, can you see that I have been working for the rice shop for so many years, and can you bypass me this time for the sake of our relatives? ”
After saying this, the shopkeeper of the rice shop thought that Chen Zhongqiu would be on his side, but he didn't want Chen Zhongqiu to just smile, and then said: "Of course, this matter is how Madame says and how to deal with it!" I have no opinion. ”
After speaking, Chen Zhongqiu couldn't go to Zhao Canniang's side. He asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem with the accounts?" ”
Zhao Canniang nodded and smiled slightly: "The shopkeeper of this rice shop didn't think that we were a family, Zhongqiu, look at this ...... here."
Then Zhao Canniang pointed out the suspicious points in the account book.
Chen Zhongqiu took a closer look at the suspicious points found by Zhao Canniang, and the more he looked at them, the more surprised he became. He had seen these ledgers before.
He hadn't seen the problem in the middle before, but Zhao Canniang found it out at once. And it's really greasy.
"The shopkeeper's loss you also said that we are relatives, you eat eight or nine taels of silver this month, but it is not ambiguous at all, and there are more than 100 taels this year! Tell me how you know that you have repented and are really a family. ”
Zhao Canniang spoke sarcastically.
Chen Zhongqiu had already sat down, took the abacus and began to calculate, and the more he calculated, the more surprised he became.
Every transaction in that ledger can be traced.
Chen Zhongqiu was extremely surprised when he counted the last month: "You told me last month that you had a surplus of three taels of silver, and I was still thinking about how the business has been getting worse and worse recently, but I didn't expect that the silver was eaten by you." What three taels, obviously thirteen taels of silver, you swallowed ten taels of silver in a month, a good family, what else do you have to say. ”
Chen Zhongqiu was also a little angry.
Zhao Canniang sat next to him and looked at the trembling shopkeeper with interest, the shopkeeper's courage was not great, and being yelled at and sarcastic by Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu like this, the psychological defense line had already collapsed.
"I know that the way is wrong, and I know that the way is wrong. Please don't send it to my official mansion! I was momentarily confused, blinded by the immediate benefits......"
Zhao Canniang smiled: "You don't do this thing for a day or two, I just missed the account book of a year ago, and you have already started, not to mention the silver you have eaten as a shopkeeper for so many years." The Chen family is not thin with you, and you have an income of more than a dozen taels of silver a year from the shopkeeper of a small millet shop, such a salary. Even if many shop managers don't have it, you still don't have enough people! ”
Zhao Canniang counted them one by one.
The shopkeeper of the rice shop was even more scared.
He had always thought that he had been careful in his accounting. I didn't expect to be seen by Zhao Canniang, not only did I see the clue. You can also point out everything one by one.
"How do you say it! Is it sent to the government or is it private for us. This was replaced by Zhao Canniang.
The shopkeeper was very worried, if he went to the government, he would go to prison and be punished, which he couldn't bear.
The shopkeeper already regretted it in his heart at this moment, he regretted that he was too nosy today, and blamed himself for doing something wrong.
The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Canniang and said with tears in his eyes: "The matter of a few days is really my fault, I am willing to chat privately, I am willing to hand over all my silver for more than a year, please don't send me to the government." ”
The shopkeeper was completely scared.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes.
"I won't look at this account book either, just count it according to ten taels of silver a month, and you can compensate us for a year and a half of silver!" In this way, we will not send you to the government, and the Chen family's business will have nothing to do with you in the future. ”
Zhao Canniang knew that she would accept it when she saw it.
What else did the shopkeeper want to say, Chen Zhongqiu said lightly: "If the shopkeeper thinks that our handling is a little unfair, just dig out the previous account books, we don't mind spending more time calcul......ating the previous accounts." ”
The shopkeeper naturally knew that Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu were not lying.
Immediately waved his hand and said: "I have no opinion, I don't have the slightest opinion, this matter is my fault, I am willing to bear it." ”
The shopkeeper was helpless to lose all the money.
For the time being, the matter of the rice shop is temporarily managed by a guy who has been working for many years.
Sitting on the carriage, Chen Zhongqiu gently stopped Zhao Canniang and said, "You must be very tired today!" ”
Zhao Canniang nodded: "I'm a little tired, I have determined the matter of the dart game, just the White Tiger Dart Bureau, I believe they can bet the dart well, and the kung fu of turning the rain is really good, I can easily pass the tricks in my hands, I am also relieved." ”
Chen Zhongqiu understands Zhao Canniang's skills, even if his kung fu is compared with the head of the Black Panther Sect, he can pass for a long time, and the rain of the White Tiger Dart Bureau can be praised by Zhao Canniang, which shows that he really has real kung fu, and what Chen Zhongqiu admires most is people who have real materials.
I also admired the rain of the white tiger dart game in my heart.
"I said I'll leave this matter to you, and you can handle it as you want. I've been there to support you. ”
Chen Zhongqiu said in Zhao Canniang's ear with a smile, which made Zhao Canniang's face coquettish.
"You prepare, and we'll be on our way in two days. Today's events have also reminded me that I plan to clean up the shopkeepers of these storefronts. The reputation of the Chen family cannot be ruined by these people, today the shopkeeper of the rice shop in a small town is so arrogant, and the bully township, if our Chen family's business continues to grow in the future, wouldn't it still be possible to rely on us to do things like murder and arson. ”
Zhao Canniang's words are not unreasonable.
Zhao Qingfeng nodded seriously, and then said: "Canniang, you are right, this matter is still handled according to the way you said, and I also think that such an unhealthy atmosphere cannot be promoted." ”
It can take three years to earn a good reputation, but if you want to ruin it. Maybe three days.
Zhao Canniang didn't want to see such a thing happen.
Zhao Qingfeng then said: "I'll leave this matter to you to do, I really can't do this, you have seen today's things, I can't see those accounts." ”
Zhao Canniang nodded, no opinion: "There is no matter, I will look at it, anyway, it is not a big deal, I just don't have anything to do recently, so I will finish the nearby shops for the time being." ”
Chen Zhongqiu was still afraid that Zhao Canniang would be tired. said with some pity: "Canniang, you can't be tired, I don't think you have to go to the store for this matter, just ask the shopkeeper to send it over." ”
Zhao Canniang shook her head directly: "What I want to do is to go there suddenly, if I send them over." Maybe I can't see the truth, I want the truth! ”
Zhao Canniang stopped to rest and continued: "And this matter must not be sloppy. In short, I know what to do, and you can wait and see the results of this matter. ”
Back inside the house. Chen Zhongqiu went to find Master Chen and told Master Chen what happened today. That's when I put my mind at ease.
Zhao Canniang's actions, Master Chen listened to it, and everyone appreciated it, what the Chen family needed was someone like Zhao Canniang.
Zhao Canniang is also right, the lust of the Chen family categorically cannot be ruined by such a person.
Zhao Canniang was very tired today and went to bed early.
On the second day, Zhao Canniang got up early and went out with Chen Zhongqiu.
"Zhongqiu, you can help me list it, it is the kind of store that should make money on weekdays, but it doesn't make much money, and I plan to go to see such a store as the first step."
Chen Zhongqiu then told all the shops he thought were problematic in the carriage.
Zhao Canniang has been busy with this matter all day, and Chen Zhongqiu has been preparing the supplies to be sent to the border gate.
The snow konjac had already been loaded into the carriage yesterday, and it would be transported to the city gate when the dart bureau arrived tomorrow morning.
After a busy day, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu returned home, and today Zhao Canniang checked a very suspicious shop, and this check really found a problem.
Zhao Canniang was naturally very angry in her heart, and Chen Zhongqiu was no better.
It seems that the Chen family should clean up properly.
Early in the morning, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu got up early, and Mrs. Chen's maid was blocked at the door very early.
"Madame, old madame wants to see you." The maid was very respectful.
Zhao Canniang was helpless, she had already thought of something in her heart, but the matter of the outside dart game had to be dealt with now.
A little helplessly said: "You tell my mother, I will come back to greet her later, now there is something to do outside, I have to go out." ”
After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, Chen Zhongqiu also stepped forward and said: "You just tell my mother according to this, we don't have time now, and we will come back later." ”
After speaking, Chen Zhongqiu pulled Zhao Canniang out of the door.
"Zhongqiu Niang is afraid that she wants me and my child again." Zhao Canniang's mouth was pursed high, a little uncomfortable.
Chen Zhongqiu stretched out his hand and touched Zhao Canniang's hair, and then said, "You also know that Lu Daoniang wants to hold her grandson very much, and we have to work hard." ”
Zhao Canniang didn't want to have such an early child, she was still young, and at the age of fifteen, her body had not grown well in many places, and now giving birth to a child hurt her a lot, and Zhao Canniang didn't want to lose more than she lost.
"But I'm still not ready to have a baby, I'm still young, giving birth to a child will leave sequelae on the body, you look at the ladies around you, those who gave birth early. Which one doesn't have a little bit of something wrong with the body. ”
Zhao Canniang was very helpless.
Chen Zhongqiu also knew it in his heart, and sighed: "I also want you to finish giving birth to a child." But how can my mother explain it, if it takes a long time. I'm really worried that my mother will give me a concubine. ”
Chen Zhongqiu told the truth, but Zhao Canniang's face darkened all of a sudden.
"If you dare to agree to take a concubine, I will reconcile with you."
Zhao Canniang didn't tell a lie when she said this, what she wanted was mutual love and loyalty to marriage.
If Chen Zhongqiu had a concubine, she would definitely reconcile with Chen Zhongqiu.
As soon as he heard Zhao Canniang say that he was leaving, Chen Zhongqiu's heart was raised, and he also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and apologized again and again: "Canniang, can't I be wrong!" If I don't take a concubine, my mother will force me, and I won't take a concubine, so don't leave me. I only have you in my heart, and you don't know the way, I just said this, and I didn't mean anything else, so don't say anything like this in the future. ”
Chen Zhongqiu was really a little scared.
He can't tolerate other women in his heart.
Zhao Canniang was very satisfied with Chen Zhongqiu's reaction, so she said: "Anyway, I also said it, if you dare to take a concubine in the future, you will follow your concubine for the rest of your life, I am just stingy, I just can't tolerate other women." ”
Chen Zhongqiu hugged Zhao Canniang: "Canniang, don't worry, I really won't do that, you have to believe me." ”
Zhao Canniang's heart is actually sweet. I love it.
Holding Chen Zhongqiu's arm, Zhao Canniang said, "Zhongqiu, I still have something to tell you." ”
Chen Zhongqiu whispered "um" and motioned for Zhao Canniang to continue.
"I also know that the heirs of the Dao are very important, but there are some things that you know that the Dao cannot be forced. My annual leave is still young, and my development may not be complete, and bad children may not be so fast. If I don't have children until I'm twenty-five, will you take another concubine? ”
Zhao Canniang is actually just talking. There is no problem with her body, and she has seen it with a doctor before. It's just that having a child is a matter of fate.
Chen Zhongqiu learned the lesson just now, and hurriedly said: "Even if you don't have children, I won't take a concubine, and I can't blame you for this matter, if it's my problem." And don't worry about it, we are still young now, and we have only been married for more than a month, when my mother gave birth to me, she was pregnant a year after marriage, my mother urged you to worry, you don't care about me when I go back, I will talk to my mother well, don't make a gap between each other for this matter. ”
The carriage soon reached the gates of the city.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city. Zhao Canniang saw more than a dozen carriages already waiting at the city gate.
The huss flag of the White Tiger Dart Bureau and the carriage of the White Tiger Dart Bureau were also parked at the city gate.
Zhao Canniang got out of the carriage and walked directly to Bai Renyi.
Bai Renyi couldn't hide his excitement until now.
"Madam," Bai Renyi said very respectfully.
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly, raised her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to the white dart, this batch of goods will be handed over to the white dart, and the rest of the road is still a little more careful, we have six people with the dart here, and the white dart head just commands if there is anything along the way." ”
Zhao Canniang has already ordered all her own people, and she hopes that her people can listen to Bai Dart's words for the rest of the journey, after all, Bai Darthead has rich experience.
Bai Darttou was very grateful: "Mrs. Xie Luxie's weight will definitely not disappoint Mrs. Xie in the future." ”
After the white dart head finished speaking very seriously, Zhao Canniang nodded, and then handed a money bag to the white dart head: "Here is one hundred and fifty taels of gold and silver, please take the white dart head." ”
Zhao Canniang said and gave the prepared silver to the white dart head.
Some trembling took the silver, the white dart head was very excited, three hundred taels of silver, even if it was a year, they would not be able to receive such a big dart!
"Madam, please rest assured, we have calculated the time, according to our itinerary and route, we estimate that we will be able to go back and forth in three months."
Zhao Canniang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she could pay it back in three months, but she could catch up.
"Pay attention to safety along the way, and please bring this letter to the Black Panther Sect Leader."
After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she handed the letter in her hand to Bai Darttou.
Chen Zhongqiu also came over at this time.
"There will be trouble along the way, my wife said in front of me that you are a lot of good, I hope we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Chen Zhongqiu is the one who sings blackface.
Bai Renyi nodded, and then left with his own people.
"Canniang, are they really okay? That white dart head is so old ......" Chen Zhongqiu saw that Bai Renyi was old and was afraid that he would not be able to do it.
Zhao Canniang didn't think so, and continued with a smile: "You don't have to worry, although Bai Dart Head is old, he is old and strong, and Bai Darthead's kung fu is amazing, even if I have a move with him, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat." ”
Chen Zhongqiu believed Zhao Canniang: "Do you want to go back to Zhao's house later?" ”
"Well, I'm going to go back and see if I didn't talk about the shopkeeper last time! I want to see what the shopkeeper plans to do! ”
Zhao Canniang is actually strange, why the shopkeeper Zhang has not acted recently.
Chen Zhongqiu sent Zhao Canniang to Zhao's house, and Zhao Canniang went directly into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Qin family, he heard the sound of laughter in the courtyard.
It seemed to be the voice of Lai and Liu, Zhao Canniang couldn't help frowning and walked over.
"Sister, I said that you don't like this matter, anyway, Canniang is the daughter who married out, and there is no one to take care of outside, if the snow girl goes to the Chen family, the two sisters can take care of each other, you see that the snow girl is seventeen years old, and she can't always be at home!"
It was Lai's who spoke.
Liu also smiled: "I think this matter is okay, the two sisters can take care of each other, and they will not suffer!" ”
The Qin clan was obviously a little annoyed, and said loudly, "Can you not fight Canniang and Qingfeng's idea?" There are so many good relatives in front of your snow girl, which one is not the wife of the main house, she wants to marry someone to be a concubine, my Canniang is very good in the Chen family and does not need any sisters to take care of each other, I thought that your attitude towards Canniang had changed last time, and I was still very happy in my heart, but I didn't expect you to do such a sad thing today. (To be continued......)
