Yue Qianqiu brushed the small sword several times after last night's incident, although he was not a person with a habit of cleanliness, but then he carried this thing that killed a poisonous rat that did not know whether it was poisonous or not, but it was really a bit of a diaphragm, so he simply took a handkerchief and wrapped it.

However, the old shopkeeper took it solemnly, opened it and glanced at it, and the idea of deliberately delaying it was immediately dispelled. It turned out to be really a token of the master, not the kind given to others for one-time use!

However, Yue Qianqiu, the new owner, wants to take stock of the treasury, but Jin Cancan, who has always been a big-mouthed rich daughter, also has to follow, but the old shopkeeper is really full of bitterness. However, before he could figure out how to persuade Yue Qianqiu tactfully, he had already urged directly: "I still have several shops to take stock of them one by one, hurry up!" ”

Yes, when I met this Nine Princes, who knew that they were the most unreasonable in Jinling, His Royal Highness was unlucky!

Forcing a loyal old man to succumb, Yue Qianqiu certainly knew that it was difficult to be a strong man, however, he was not here to be a receiver today, and he had a clear account in his heart. At this moment, when he saw the old shopkeeper use various dazzling techniques to open the door locks of the storeroom in the deepest part of the store, he still couldn't help but be amazed.

He's a man who has seen a lot of good things. Although the foundation of the Yue family is shallow, the old lady Yue does not care so much about people such as gold and jade jewelry, and the second and third rooms are even more afraid that he will divide the property, but since he worshiped Yan Xu as a teacher, the treasury of the Dongyang Eldest Princess's Mansion can almost be regarded as half his, Yan Xu often takes him in for a walk, and takes things casually, and the emperor may be in love with the house and Wu or other reasons, even the palace treasury He has been to it twice.

He clearly remembered that even the palace treasury did not have so many locks!

Thinking of the old shopkeeper suggesting that Jin Cancan's bodyguards were optimistic about the two young men in his store and not letting outsiders in, cheering helplessly taking him and Jin Cancan in, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but arouse his curiosity.

Sure enough, when one of the deepest doors opened, he was shocked to find that it was a house made entirely of stone instead of brick, except for the beams and pillars, which were made of wood. Although the walls are rough, the lime joints seem to be very old, definitely not built in the past few years, and it is likely that he is older than his age.

The furnishings in the room were simple, except for the cabinets, which were neatly stacked, probably because few people came in, so under the dim oil lamp in the hands of the old shopkeeper, these cages looked lifeless in the flickering light. But as the old shopkeeper opened the first box with some hesitation, Jin Cancan was the first to exclaim, and then gasped.

"It's ...... It's not skin, it's gold! ”

"yes, it's gold." The old shopkeeper glanced at the unrelated person who was brought in by Yue Qianqiu, and smiled bitterly very stiffly, "All the money made by the Saibei leather store over the years is here." Because the leather goods are all transported from the north, His Royal Highness never let me transport money to the north, so it is enough to accumulate over the years. Every box here is gold, silver, and copper coins, as well as gems that are not easy to break. Pearls are not beautiful because they are not beautiful because they are old. ”

Yue Qianqiu squinted his eyes slightly, and finally motioned for the old shopkeeper to open them all.

He counted the boxes one by one, and even carried them by hand to test the weight after opening them, and occasionally took out all the gold and silver to see if there would be something like stones underneath. But unfortunately, no, even the least valuable, that is, a whole ten boxes of copper coins. Probably because of the long time, the rope that strung the money rotted as soon as he grabbed it.

And after these intuitive feelings, it is a general ledger sent by the old shopkeeper. Originally, the old shopkeeper wanted to bring all the annual reading ledgers, but Yue Qianqiu stopped with a wave of his hand.

He didn't really take stock of the family business, so he didn't mean to look at the detailed accounts at all, and after opening the general ledger, he only swept a page of the leather goods sold and the receipts sold every year, the annual expenditure, the annual balance, and the final total number, and his eyes stayed on the figures of three thousand taels of gold and thirty thousand taels of silver for a long time.

And Jin Cancan's straightforwardness, or impulsive personality, is used to being used to being from an extremely good family background. Since the Jin family has become the richest man in Jinling in recent years, and has always been a wealthy family in the past few years, she has been used to seeing good things since she was a child, so she looks at something at home and abroad, it is often because it is exquisite and fun, and her own family just does not have it, not precious.

As far as the family background of this leather goods store is, of course, it can't deter her, but Yue Qianqiu said that this is only the first one, and there are other things that need to be continued! One family has a foundation of at least tens of thousands of taels, so what about five and ten? Could it be that in addition to these bright ones, His Royal Highness the King of Jin in Beiyan has more secret family backgrounds? She was curious at first, but now she regretted that she had messed around.

In the eyes of others, Miss Jin is impulsive and straightforward, just like she just competed with Pei Zhaodi, and she also showed her clear attitude of supporting Pei Xu's daughter Pei Bao'er, but she is not really lacking in heart. At this moment, she couldn't help but ask a little wryly: "Ninth Prince, otherwise, after this family, I won't go to other places, right?" Doesn't seem to be very convenient. ”

How could Yue Qianqiu let go of this witness sent to the door? I didn't think about it, so I haha: "It's okay, it's fate, that Miss Pei ran away by herself, otherwise, I would like to invite her to join in the fun!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the old shopkeeper who was already dumbfounded and said, "Old shopkeeper, you don't have to worry that I have swallowed the hard work of your Royal Highness. I'm not a robber, these things should be his, and they will still be his in the future, and I will be a steward now, and I will take care of the accounts for him. ”

As he spoke, he threw the ledger back to the somewhat stunned old shopkeeper, turned and strode out. Seeing that Jin Cancan hurriedly ran out with his skirt one step ahead of him, he smiled without looking back: "Having said that, I admire King Jin's wisdom in knowing people. For so many years, the north has only delivered goods, not collected money, so much money has not been embezzled, it is really not easy for you, old shopkeeper! ”

Until Yue Qianqiu and Jin Cancan completely disappeared from view, and the old shopkeeper stumbled out to lock the door one by one, his heart was full of bitterness. A person is not a sage, he is an ordinary person, how can he not be greedy for money?

But the fact that he does not pay the money every year does not mean that no one has checked the accounts, even if he does not know where the person who audits the accounts is. He has been in Jinling for more than ten years, and when he took over, he had this warehouse, but everything was basically empty. In recent years, there have often been headless cases in Jinling City, and there is one shopkeeper who has died in three or five years, and there is even a greedy owner whose property has been wiped out overnight, and even the emperor was angry for a time, but the store was finally copied and there is no official and I don't know who the owner is. Therefore, thinking of the good pay, he didn't dare to fill his pocket.

What's more, who knows that he, an old shopkeeper who is famous in the leather industry, is actually a eunuch?

But now, what happened or discovered that His Highness wanted to give all this huge wealth to Yue Qianqiu?

How much are Xiao Jingxian's shops worth, when the whole day's inventory is over, Yue Qianqiu finally has a bottom. He felt some backache and back pain with excellent physical strength, not to mention Miss Jin, who didn't exercise regularly.

After beating her spirit and saying goodbye to Yue Qianqiu, as soon as she entered the carriage, she took off all the heavy gold jewelry on her body, sat in the carriage and let the girl beat her waist and calves, and made a painful sound from time to time.

The accompanying nurse couldn't help but whisper beside her: "Miss, you are a promiser, although Yue Jiu Gongzi is the grandson of Yue Xiang, but this identity is embarrassing, you followed him for a whole day today, it is really not good to spread out, you have to be taboo." ”

"What is taboo? Our family is not the pretentious Pei family, I am picky about Pei Zhaodi because she has bad intentions, what is there to be picky about the ninth son? He doesn't even care about Princess Beiyan, he doesn't even care about so much money, because he likes my family to be rich, what are his intentions for me? And, don't forget, I told him I had a fiancé. ”

Save this Yue Jiu Gongzi from having an attempt on him! Well, in fact, for her marriage, the family is about to die. She doesn't care, it's a big deal, she doesn't want to be a daughter-in-law!

Seeing that the nurse was speechless, the two girls nodded again and again, and Jin Cancan said happily: "As far as the gold and silver hidden in the shop I counted with him today, it is almost as good as the gold and silver accumulated by half of the Jin family." ”

Of course, shops and fields don't count, but aren't they counted over there?

Although those shops were not as exaggerated as the famous leather goods store, the family income of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan was also very considerable in the end. In the end, Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin from Beiyan, gave Yue Qianqiu more than 400,000 two pawns!

A girl couldn't help but ask: "But for such a big matter, Yue Jiu Gongzi didn't call relatives and friends, why did you let you testify?" ”

"How do I know!" Jin Cancan covered his forehead in distress, and then suddenly his eyes sparkled and said, "Could it be that he wants me to help spread it?" Otherwise, why did I want to find an excuse to quit, but he insisted on letting me go along? Hmm, hurry, don't go home, just let the carriage go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Dongyang, no, go find my handkerchiefs first, let's go together! What the? Reason...... The reasons are all ready-made, let's just say that I heard that the eldest lady of the Cheng family in Yangzhou will live for the rest of her life, and I will take everyone to see her! ”

"It doesn't matter if the eldest princess is not there, the young lady is at home!"

Seeing that her nurse and girl were all dumbfounded, and the coachman outside even asked again, Miss Jin said angrily: "What else can spread things faster than with the help of women's small talk?" ”

Of course, Yue Qianqiu didn't know that Miss Jin, who she bumped into casually today, had already deeply understood what he meant, and was gearing up to help him spread the news. But he was fully convinced that the man who seemed impulsive, but who could do the arithmetic—would be able to get the word out of his hope. As for himself, he was already outside the palace at this moment.

He was born in the palace at the age of seven, and not only was he not subjected to the slightest difficulty at the gate of the palace, but because of the robbery and killing on Xuanwu Ze's side yesterday, as well as the dead man who was thrown out of the door of the Jin Palace, there were familiar forbidden army generals who came to investigate the truth. Anyway, he was not an acquaintance like Qi Nantian, he looked left and right and said that he had diverged, and when he passed through the crowded imperial city and entered the palace city, his ears were quiet.

Now that he is fourteen years old, of course Yue Qianqiu can't break into the harem casually like when he was young, but the former part of the inner palace is a place where many high-grade court officials can enter and exit, and he is naturally no exception with the title of six grades. Although he secretly prayed in his heart that there would be no one in the Hanging Arch Hall at this time, at least no acquaintance or enemy, but when he reached the bottom of the steps, he secretly cried out.

That's really a gathering of acquaintances and enemies!

As the prime minister's grandfather, he walked last, Pei Xu, Ye Guanghan, Yu Jianzhong in front, and the four prime ministers in the political hall were complete!

Pei Xu, who was in the lead, sank his face as soon as he saw Yue Qianqiu. He understood the hatred of those officials who fell at the feet of this kid like this, and now he only complained that he didn't see that this kid was a scourge earlier, otherwise he would spare no effort to get rid of him!

However, when discussing in the Vertical Arch Hall today, there was no robbery and murder involving Xuanwu Zebian as discussed by the outside world, and the murder in the Jin Palace, it was impossible for him to cause a conversation like a long-tongued woman, so he didn't plan to pay attention to Yue Qianqiu at all, and walked straight towards Yue Qianqiu with a cold snort, just waiting for the other party to make way for him according to his high and low official positions.

He didn't realize at all that he was so dignified that he had only this sense of superiority left.

Although Yue Qianqiu said that it was not the roundworm in Pei Xu's stomach, when he saw the other party's face, he knew that people didn't want to see him. It just so happened that he was not happy to bow down and salute Pei Xu, at this time, in his heart, when he saw the old lady Yue walking slowly behind him, he came up with a plan, bent his knees slightly, put his toes on the ground a little, flashed steeply to the side, and then quickly swept past the three prime ministers, and fell straight in front of the old lady Yue.

"Grandpa, I have something important to say to the emperor, I shouldn't go back tonight, let me tell you first."

Seeing that the little grandson squeezed his eyes a few times, and bowed down again, the old lady Yue didn't have time to speak, and found that the person had run away, and he was immediately angry. Turning around, he saw that Yue Qianqiu had already run to the door of the vertical arch hall, and he didn't know what to say, but he had already entered the main hall, and he twisted his neck again.

found that the three prime ministers below had already turned to face him, and his eyes were different, so he smiled and snorted: "Your Majesty, this kid is almost more diligent than me, and he is out all day long, and I will bombard him to go to Wuying Hall to take care of his heart!" By the way, Ye Xiang, don't forget what you promised before. ”

Ye Guanghan's face suddenly darkened. He and Zhao Qingya went to see the old lady Yue together, for the sake of the little fat man's future princess candidate, naturally he also knew that the Cheng family had a problem, and now the matter seems to be solved...... But this big incident is simply jaw-dropping, and he is about to die of sorrow! It's good now, this old guy is still forcing him to cash in on the benefits!

He didn't need to pretend to show his anger at the old lady Yue, and after a while, he said word by word: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, I don't need you to remind me!" But that's not the end of the matter yet. ”

Although there were still two outsiders, and in front of the vertical arch hall under this large court, the old lady Yue still smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Yue family will never do only half of everything!" ”
