Nian Xia sneered and didn't care, turned out the account book at the counter, took the abacus and crackled and began to calculate the salary.
Shen Qingwan looked at the shopkeeper who didn't dare to say anything more: "Are you selling yourself or hiring?" ”
The shopkeeper's heart sank, and he always felt that there was more ruthlessness in the back, he knew that Shen Qingwan's methods were so tough, he should have divided it in peace: "Hire!" ”
"That's good, don't jump if you can't do it, I won't be soft. If you think that the county lord of Yiyang is a better master, you can go out and talk nonsense, she is the concubine of King Qin, and I am also the concubine of King Chu, and she still has a title, so stupid that she pays herself in, and is willing to be a gunman, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Shen Qingwan sneered, this kind of person has always bullied the soft and feared evil, if she was a little softer, she would definitely climb up the pole.
The shopkeeper immediately found out that something was wrong, Shen Qingwan was telling the truth, in terms of grade, Shen Qingwan was one level higher than Yao Yihuan, why did he only see that the status of the town marquis was higher than that of the prime minister's mansion?
It's just a game between two women, but he jumped in voluntarily and became a victim.
The shopkeeper regretted that the field was green, and the original ideas could no longer rise, didn't he find a draw for himself?
Who is he? Even if it is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not something he can afford to provoke, if there is really something, where will Yao Yihuan protect him?
Finally realized the seriousness of the matter, the shopkeeper knelt down to Shen Qingwan with a puff: "Please also ask Miss Shen to forgive the little one, the little one is also dizzy, Miss rest assured, she must manage the restaurant well with a smile, so that the business will be better than before." ”
"Hehe, you're so confident." Did such a thing and still want her to use him?
Shen Qingwan sneered: "If you really know that you are wrong, you can gather and disperse, and your reputation will not be hindered, if you have real skills, you will naturally not worry about finding a job, why bother to beg for mercy in front of Miss Ben, it is unfortunate, Miss Ben can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes, and there is no room for turning back from the beginning." ”
Hearing this, Amu Du was thoughtful, can't tolerate a grain of sand?
The shopkeeper knew that there was no play, Shen Qingwan was not soft-hearted at all, and he said it to death, he had never met a woman like this, and the shopkeeper was very confused.
"Miss, there is a deficit of three thousand taels on the books." Nian Xia's speed is also extremely fast, and he has made the account clear in a short time.
The shopkeeper was shocked, calculated so quickly?
Shen Qingwan's eyes flashed with a ghostly light: "Very good, half a month ago, the restaurant changed hands, and the lord of Yiyang County also withdrew the profits, so this Miss Ben doesn't care." ”
"What is withdrawn is profit, and the cost of purchasing ingredients is not included, so why don't you explain to Miss Ben, how is this a deficit?"
Lost 3,000 taels in half a month? Even if you buy something every day and put it there and throw it away, it won't be so much.
"It's good to work for people and steal from others!" Shen Qing said slowly and logically.
The account room screamed: "It's not me, it's me, Miss Shen, it's the county lord of Yiyang who has withdrawn two thousand taels more, and the shopkeeper has also withdrawn one thousand taels one after another, it's not a trivial matter!" ”
The deficit on the books was not faked, it was prepared for Shen Qingwan to fill it with silver.
Yao Yihuan, I reminded you, do you dare to do anything, thinking that two thousand taels is a decimal number, can you disgust her?
Shen Qingwan chuckled, she would really give her money, she liked it a lot, who made the Zhenhou Mansion so rich? It's really a real wealth boy who was met by her.
"Get out, didn't you also take two hundred taels, why did I take them?" The shopkeeper is very angry, this coward, don't take it if you're so scared.
Shen Qingwan chuckled: "You guys are up to themselves, Miss Ben has a list here, what the restaurant should look like, one thing is missing, shopkeeper, you look at it, tomorrow, I will see all the things on the list." ”
This list is thanks to King Chu, after knowing that she had taken a restaurant from Yao Yihuan for no reason, he teased her a few words, and asked Ah Shui to investigate the restaurant inside and out.
The things on the books, the situation inside the restaurant, Yao Yihuan don't want to fake.
It's not that I don't know that there are valuable ornaments in the box, and they have all been taken out by the shopkeeper and sold recently, but Shen Qing let him jump at night, and he always had to vomit out what he ate.
Amu threw the long list in front of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper only glanced at it, and almost fainted, he sold at least half of the things in the box, for cash, naturally they were all sold cheaply, and even if he took out all the money, he couldn't afford to pay the difference!
The shopkeeper had already regretted that he wanted to die here, but Shen Qingwan said faintly: "Father's debt is repaid, you have thought about it, do you have a son and family?" Miss Ben is not a benevolent church. ”
"No...... The county lord of Yiyang took it back, and she said that she had purchased it all ......"
"Okay, I'll let someone go to the county lord of Yiyang to confront him immediately." Shen Qingwan sneered: "I believe that the county lord of Yiyang will definitely return it." ”
The shopkeeper choked, his chest was stuffy, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood had already reached his mouth: "Miss, it's the small one's fault, it's the little one's ghost, it's greedy, the old owner changed hands, the new owner didn't appear, the little one was confused, thinking that the new owner would put it on himself, so he took out the things and sold them......"
Shen Qingwan raised her hand and looked at her nails, she likes to check her physical condition recently: "Then dare to be kind, Miss Ben will not hold you accountable, you can make up for it." ”
The shopkeeper shouted and grabbed the ground: "But, Miss, even if you sell the little family, you can't make it back!" ”
When something goes into the hands of the dealer, it won't be that price when it comes out again.
Shen Qingwan seemed to smile: "So what? Did I make you greedy and take things out and sell them? ”
The shopkeeper couldn't cry anymore.
"Do you know what it is to steal from oneself and betray the things of the master's house?" Shen Qingwan is getting more and more tired of this person, what kind of vision does Yao Yihuan have?
"I ...... I ...... "How could the shopkeeper not know, but he didn't dare to say."
"You don't need to explain, either you pay it yourself, which is considered Miss Ben's grace to you, or you can go directly to the official, Miss Ben doesn't have time to grind with you here." Shen Qingwan smiled: "I want Miss Ben to fill the loophole for you, so forget it?" Who are you Miss Ben? Not even a minion, why are you? When the brain is in the water, I play at the same time. ”
The shopkeeper is really dizzy this time, such a tough woman, no wonder the county lord of Yiyang can't afford to provoke it!
The bookkeeper trembled and took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels from his arms: "Miss, the small one really didn't take anything else, only two hundred taels, and the small one has been conscientious, and there has never been a mistake in accounting accounts." ”
Shen Qingwan looked at the sweaty appearance of the account room, and motioned to Nian Xia to accept the silver ticket: "Calculate the salary for the account room, although July is still half a month away, calculate a month's salary." ”
In a blink of an eye, he saw other guys who didn't dare to speak, and his eyes were full of horror, Shen Qingwan didn't care: "You are the same, I will calculate a month's salary for you, and you will leave on your own, what should and what should not be said, weigh it yourself, Miss Ben has not been afraid." ”
After calculating the extra half a month's salary, she was already merciful, so she did this thing at them, and no one could say that she was wrong if she didn't pay a penny.
Although the reopening of the restaurant will definitely change its appearance, the reputation that can be damaged before will still have some impact.
Why don't the guests come one by one these days? Shen Qingwan knew very clearly.
The guys also knew that they were weak-hearted, and they didn't even dare to breathe too heavily in the face of Shen Qingwan's toughness, so they had to silently receive their wages and leave.
Including the cook, they were all dismissed by Shen Qingwan, and the entire restaurant immediately became empty.
The shopkeeper was still faint on the ground, and no one paid attention to it.
Shen Qingwan wrote a letter to Amu: "You go to the Zhenhou Mansion and hand over this letter to the Zhenhou, the life of the county lord of Yiyang seems to have been a little beautiful recently!" ”
Amu's eyes flashed, and he took the letter and left the restaurant immediately, his steps were brisk.
As soon as the shopkeeper woke up, he heard Shen Qingwan's words, and wanted to faint again, he knew that what Shen Qingwan said didn't fool him, the part of the county lord of Yiyang, she still took it back, so what else could he think?
"If you faint again, go out and faint, do you want this month's salary?" Shen Qingwan said disapprerovingly, the shopkeeper's monthly salary is ten taels of silver, which is really high for ordinary people.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the silver, the shopkeeper couldn't faint himself, got up with a sad face, and took the silver from Nian Xia's hand.
"Don't say that Miss Ben is unkind, ill-gotten gains, give you three days to come back, don't think about leaving, this is a man, it's better to share An'an." Shen Qingwan said meaningfully.
The shopkeeper was still thinking about leaving the capital with his family just now, anyway, the money was enough for the family to live comfortably for a lifetime.
Who knew that Shen Qingwan seemed to be able to read minds, and completely saw through his thoughts.
In the face of power, the shopkeeper really didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he could hear the truth of Shen Qing's late words, at least since she entered the door, she hadn't said a lie.
Looking at the shopkeeper's decadent back, Shen Qingwan raised her eyebrows and reminded: "Who caused the whole thing?" Know for yourself, don't blame the wrong person. ”
The shopkeeper listened to it, but he was a little confused, but it was true that he had a little more hatred for Yao Yihuan.
When the shopkeeper came home and explained everything, the family suddenly jumped up, and the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law quickly pulled out the shopkeeper's ears: "You stupid, do this kind of thing?" I'm afraid that if you get the silver, you won't be able to spend your life, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as good as the Zhenhou, but that's not something that we ordinary people can provoke......"
The shopkeeper's father was already so angry that he collapsed on the chair: "You ...... You...... I read all the books I read since I was a child, and you want to kill the whole family! ”
was scolded, and the shopkeeper said Shen Qingwan's last sentence, because he never figured it out, what did Shen Qingwan mean by saying this?
The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law and the shopkeeper's father glanced at each other, their eyes flashing.
"What Miss Shen means, there is a debtor who is wronged, who made you do this? Naturally, you have to take responsibility, and besides, the county lord of Yiyang is really not a good thing, let you do things, but he didn't say that he wanted to protect you, what do you do to fight with Miss Xiangfu? ”
The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law was angry, and obviously saw a way out, because if they really had to pay the money themselves, the whole family would really have nothing to eat.
Let's just say that Shen Qingwan could force him so hard, leaving no way back at all, it turned out that he pointed to a clear way.
Not to mention the various discussions of the shopkeeper's family, Zhenhou was very puzzled after receiving the letter, how could a boudoir lady write a letter to him? But after reading it, he was angry, and came to Yao Yihuan's yard angrily, and without saying anything, he gave Yao Yihuan two slaps first.
Mrs. Hou was chatting with her daughter, and she was also confused at this time: "What are you doing, are you beating your daughter out of anger for no reason?" ”
Recently, Mrs. Hou didn't dare to choke with Zhenhou, but Yao Yihuan was beaten, and this anger also came up.
"What a county lord of Yiyang, willing to lose the gamble, do you secretly do it so that tomorrow the whole capital will know that you don't speak, and you will only stick a knife in your back? Idiot, if you have such a reputation, when the time comes, go to the Qin Palace, see who can still listen to you, and who will dare to listen to you? Zhenhou couldn't believe that the daughter he raised would only do such a brainless thing in order to take advantage of the moment.
If you can't afford to lose, don't provoke it in the first place.
After Yao Yihuan was surprised, he immediately knew what Zhenhou said, Shen Qingwan, who was originally very hot, actually dared to sue, but was frightened by Zhenhou's analysis.
Yao Yihuan remembered that Shen Qingwan had warned her, she didn't take it seriously, and it was only two thousand taels, and the silver was not much, she just wanted to disgust Shen Qingwan.
Yao Yihuan thought that Shen Qingwan would not really do anything for two thousand taels.
After listening to Zhenhou's words, Yao Yihuan realized that something was wrong, if Shen Qingwan spread the news, it would indeed be her fault, and she would buy people in the future, but I was afraid that no one would be willing to take refuge in her.
People who have no credibility promise any benefits, others may not believe it!
Zhenhou glanced at Yao Yihuan coldly: "I have really spoiled you in the past few years, I don't know what to say, when the palace releases people, you can stay in the mansion and learn the rules, if King Qin doesn't come back, you don't go out." ”
Zhenhou looked at Mrs. Hou: "This matter, you can settle it with a little more silver, you'd better not make any more moths, don't forget, your son is still working under the King of Chu." ”
As soon as she heard that her son might be involved, Mrs. Hou also panicked, and she couldn't care about protecting Yao Yihuan anymore.
Although the couple dotes on their daughter very much, it means that the daughter should be pampered, which does not mean that the daughter is more important than the son.
Therefore, after learning about the matter, Mrs. Hou was so angry that she had heartache and had to send money to Shen Qingwan.
At the beginning, she was jealous that Gu Yangxi was so jealous that she was so jealous that she participated in framing her, but now she wants to give Shen Qingwan silver, she has not been so aggrieved for a long time, it is really wronged.
Shen Qingwan didn't know what happened in the Hou Mansion, after leaving the restaurant, he walked to an alley, where there are many yards, most of them are tenants, and recently scholars have come to rent more, and it is relatively quiet.
Entering the alley, there were a lot of reading sounds faintly on both sides, which suddenly added a lot of bookish atmosphere.
If there is nothing in the air, you can smell some ink.
knocked on the door of a courtyard, but it was a young woman who waited for a while to open the door, Shen Qing paused and was a little puzzled, could it be that she was looking for the wrong one?
"Excuse me...... Does Cai Gongzi live here? Shen Qingwan's voice was a little uncertain.
The young woman chuckled: "You are the sixth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cai Gongzi is here, please come in." ”
Shen Qingwan was even more suspicious, but she also stepped into the courtyard.
"My husband came to visit Mr. Cai, and I heard about you, and Mr. Cai didn't have a good woman, so I guessed that it was Miss." The young woman smiled and explained.
After looking at the young woman, Shen Qingwan's heart moved: "Who is your husband?" ”
"The husband's surname is Liu, his name is Qingshan, he has always been Cai Gongzi's classmate, Miss please come in, the husband and Cai Gongzi are discussing things in the house, and the woman will go and invite them."
Shen Qingwan's eyes flashed with a look of truth, but she didn't expect Cai Xiaofeng to contact Liu Qingshan as soon as she came out, this is really ...... What a good thing!
Shen Qingwan entered the house happily, and as soon as he sat down, three people came in at the door.
Shen Qingwan looked at the willow Qingshan, but it was not much different from the later generations, but it was a little immature.
"Miss Six, this ...... But what's the matter with the Prime Minister's Mansion? Cai Xiaofeng was very surprised, he didn't expect Shen Qing to come to the door at all.
"There's nothing wrong, you left the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days, and no one noticed." Shen Qingwan couldn't help but laugh.
The guests have entertainment, and it is normal not to return home for a day or two, Cai Xiaofeng has come out to rent a yard since he got the silver, and he has only gone back to get the package once, but no one has noticed that something is wrong?
"That's good." Cai Xiaofeng felt that this was expected: "By the way, this is Cai's classmate and friend, Liu Qingshan, that is Qingshan's wife Wei." ”
Liu Qingshan just gave Shen Qing a scholarly salute in the evening, and did not speak, and the whole person was a little awkward.
At this time, not only Cai Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed, but Wei couldn't help but be embarrassed, and reached out and pulled Lafujun's sleeve.
Shen Qingwan was not surprised, in her previous life, when she went to see Liu Qingshan for the Prime Minister's Mansion, her face was even more ugly.
"The matter between my brother and Liu Gongzi, I also heard about it, my younger brother is the only young master of the Xiangfu, and he is spoiled by his grandmother and father on weekdays, and the jade pendant can only be owned by the heirs of the Xiangfu, and the younger brother has always valued it, and he must have panicked when he found out about the theft, which offended the lady of the Liu family, if Liu Gongzi feels unhappy, I will accompany you for my younger brother."
In other words, Shen Qingwan didn't really want to apologize on behalf of Shen Ziyu, mainly because she didn't want Liu Qingshan to have anything to do with her.
Shen Ziyu did something wrong, and no matter how she came, she couldn't take her turn to represent her, so Shen Qingwan didn't have a psychological burden.
Hearing this, Liu Qingshan's heart also eased, not to Shen Ziyu, but to Shen Qingwan.
It's not that he has an opinion on Shen Qingwan, but he is a little awkward about the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liu Qingshan is not an unreasonable person, because Cai Xiaofeng has lived in the Xiangfu for a while, and he also knows some about the Xiangfu.
Knowing that Shen Qingwan was an outlier in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was not favored, and it had nothing to do with the only eldest young master in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Because of this, Wei felt quite good about Shen Qingwan and did not dislike it.
"A manly man, he should do things by himself, and I don't have to let my sister apologize for this, Miss Six doesn't have to take it to heart." Liu Qingshan can naturally distinguish clearly, Shen Qingwan and Shen Ziyu are obviously not all the way.
"My younger brother was brought up by the old lady after he was born, and his biological mother couldn't intervene, and I, as an older sister, was busy on weekdays, and I didn't know that this was it." Shen Qingwan sighed, it was already obvious.
The education of the eldest young master of the Xiangfu has nothing to do with her, the daughter of the Xiangfu.
If Shen Qingwan's words were to the outside world, she would definitely be said badly, clearly revealing that her relationship with the Prime Minister was not good, and it was okay to say that she was not filial.
Liu Qingshan and Cai Xiaofeng were surprised, and after glancing at each other, they tacitly agreed not to mention this matter.
Because Shen Qing's words have already reached this, he has already shown his sincerity, and it seems that the intention is not simple.
Cai Xiaofeng asked Wei to boil some boiling water, and was a little hesitant: "I just moved in, there are a lot of things that I haven't purchased, only boiled water to moisten my throat, and please don't mind Miss Six." ”
Shen Qingwan chuckled: "Boiled water is good, clean." ”
Cai Xiaofeng knew that Shen Qingwan wouldn't mind, but he was polite just now: "There are a total of five rooms in this courtyard, it's a bit of a waste for Cai to live alone, Brother Liu is looking for a job these days, and the expenses are relatively large, so I want to move over and live together, but I can share some with Cai." ”
Liu Qingshan's family is not wealthy, there are no parents at home, only two brothers, neither of whom are easy to get along with, so he gritted his teeth and took his wife to the capital together.
Two people, the cost has also increased, the price of goods in the capital is really a bit unbearable, these two people don't even have a place to live, stay in a broken temple outside the city, and there are a lot of beggars.
Cai Xiaofeng has the heart to help, but he is powerless, after all, he is also a sender.
Therefore, as soon as Cai Xiaofeng came out, he immediately went to find Liu Qingshan after renting the yard and took the couple over.
The matter of silver will be discussed again, so that there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain and read quietly.
Shen Qingwan looked at Liu Qingshan and Wei, the two of them should still have some silver in their hands, but they were reluctant to use it for emergency relief, so they thought about going to live in the broken temple.
The original plan was to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I definitely didn't have the budget for this, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to the capital so much in advance.
Such a yard, if it can be rented for twenty or two months in normal times, how can it cost forty or fifty taels in the current extraordinary period.
Coupled with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the cost of other life favors is indeed amazing.
"These things, Cai Gongzi himself feels comfortable, if you feel inconvenient, I can borrow you a maid to do some trivial things, and the two sons can study with peace of mind." Shen Qingwan nodded, secretly thinking that it really cost a lot to go to Beijing to take the exam, and ordinary people couldn't afford it at all.
It's no wonder that many people don't come to Beijing until the exam, she gave Cai Xiaofeng two hundred taels, plus Shen Yijia one hundred taels, and the rent alone may not last until next year's spring.
But it's okay like this, Shen Qing's late visit to Cai Xiaofeng can be even more successful.
Cai Xiaofeng looked at Wei and felt that Liu Qingshan was fine, after all, he was someone's wife, but it was indeed a little inappropriate for him to let Wei serve trivial matters, especially three meals a day, which were all labor.
"In that case, thank you Miss Six." Anyway, I owe favors, and it's not bad, I believe that the people sent by Shen Qing late are naturally not as unreliable as the Xiangfu maids.
When he first saw Liu Qingshan, Cai Xiaofeng poured bitter water, and it was a loss that Liu Qingshan did not enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise, it might affect the relationship between husband and wife.
After listening to Cai Xiaofeng's experience, Liu Qingshan naturally had a sense of kinship, and his perception of the Prime Minister's Mansion was even worse.
If it weren't for Cai Xiaofeng who kept saying that Shen Qingwan was different, Liu Qingshan would not have given a good face.
"No thanks, it's just a rough maid." Shen Qing took a sip of water in the evening, and finally said his purpose: "I have a restaurant to open, and no one has it yet, is Cai Gongzi interested in being an accountant?" ”
Cai Xiaofeng and Liu Qingshan suddenly understood, this was Shen Qing's purpose.
At the beginning, Shen Qingwan said that there was a job introduction, and Cai Xiaofeng didn't want to trouble.
But now there are many outsiders in the capital, and good jobs are all rushed to get them, and it is difficult to get them if they don't have the right to do it.
