Coming out for a walk, naturally there is no ride on the frame. Pedestrians along the way are weaving, shouting along the street is endless, and there is no lack of tourists from all over the world who come to watch the grand scenery of Jinling, but there are many fewer great talents who were ubiquitous in the past.

Walking slowly, Zhao Xian flattered all the way, and finally made Sister Liu, who complained about his restriction of freedom, happy. Unconsciously, I have come to the front of the Wanbao Tower in the city.

The changes in Beijing are very great, and the industry thousands of miles away has no energy to take care of it, and now it is much more depressed, there are only a few customers in the door, and there is a lot of dust on the window counter.

"Hey!" Sister Liu's eyes were full of distress, and she let out a faint sigh: "Sure enough, it's a lot deserted, no matter how good the store is, it won't work without a good shopkeeper." ”

Zhao Xian helped her into the house, only to see a few shopkeepers sitting listlessly in it, wiping bracelets and other objects with the cloth on their hands, maybe they didn't come to the guests for a long time, and they didn't even notice when they came in.

Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When I came last year, it wasn't like this, I remember that at that time, the guests here were shoulder to shoulder, and you heard the sound and came down from the second floor to ......."

"Then, I was abducted by you, a thief, and went to the inn, and the result was ......" Speaking of this, Liu Zuiyan was angry and ashamed, he knew that he would not receive him personally on a whim at that time, and the business was not done, and he accompanied himself in, when had he ever done such a lossy business in his life.

"Hey, hey!" Zhao Xian touched his nose and said with a smile: "This is also fate, without that kind of mistake, how could our mature and wise Sister Liu care about me, a shameless thief." ”

"Humph!" Sister Liu glanced at him slightly, unhappy or angry, and did not answer. It seems that this compliment is very useful.

She called the chief here, and then took a large stack of ledgers and carried them up to the second floor. The second floor is obviously the woman's boudoir, when she and Yijun came to Jiangnan, they often rested here, and a few clerks cleaned up the place.

She was about to sit down at the desk, but Zhao Xian rubbed her hands and stopped him, "I'll come, you lie down and rest for a while." ”

"Huh? Will you settle accounts? "Sister Liu knows Zhao Xian's talent very well, not to mention anything else, she has seen it with her own eyes. It's just a different subject of arts and sciences. Settling accounts and reciting poetry are two different things. She couldn't help but hide her lips and smiled: "Don't be reckless, Yijun owes a lot of debts and medical expenses to the Jade Pavilion in Kyoto, I am still distressed, if you are counting this shop." My daughter and I will have to eat white rice in the future. ”

Dare to underestimate me? Although Zhao Xian learned not financial management in his previous life. But he also graduated from a prestigious school. How could a small account stump him? He didn't say much, just let his good wife, who was not at ease, rest, and then open the thick account book by himself. The liquidation of the rotten grain of the sesame seeds.

Sister Liu was obviously not at ease, so she simply stood behind him and watched, but she was obviously a little tired after walking for so long because her body was relatively weak.

There was only one stool in the room, and Zhao Xian saw that she didn't want to lie on the bed, so he reached out and pulled her directly to her lap and sat down. Sister Liu was caught off guard, "Ah! Jiaojiao snorted, her face was crimson, and when she saw that he didn't get an inch, she relaxed slightly, and when she saw that there were no outsiders in the room, she bit her lower lip, but fortunately she didn't get up.

Putting his head on her shoulder and leaning on it, Zhao Xian took a pen in his hand to sketch on the scratch paper, looking extremely serious, and the little tricks of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were simply handy.

Seeing him writing messy symbols on the paper, he had to draw conclusions without an abacus, and 'scribble' on the ledger, Sister Liu suddenly became anxious, moved her shoulders and said, "What are you doing?" How will I sort it out later? I'll do it..."

Zhao Xian was inexplicable, how did the things that he calculated carefully become scribbled? Could it be a format error? He wondered, "Where did I scribble?" ”

Sister Liu didn't say much, and looked at the account book angrily, and 'crackled' on the abacus, gradually, her eyes showed a little surprise, today is right, could it be the result of his mental calculation? Impossible! With so many cumbersome accounts, how to ensure that the score is accurate.

She glanced at Zhao Xian incredulously, and asked curiously: "Zhao Xian, you, how did you figure it out?" And what are these ghost charms? ”

It turned out that I suspected that I didn't need to calculate! Zhao Xian suddenly became proud, touched the side of his face, and grinned: "Kiss me, and then shout 'Good husband, tell me!'" I'll teach you. ”

Liu's drunken and mature cheeks suddenly turned crimson, this little thief will take advantage of the danger. She hesitated for a while, then suddenly kissed him on the cheek with a few stubbles, and snorted coldly: "Okay! Say it quickly, or I'll get you out." ”

Zhao Xian chuckled, and only after her face returned the salute did he seriously teach her the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of Arabic numerals. She herself is mature and intelligent, these gadgets can be mastered in a moment, and after the experiment, it is indeed feasible, and she can't help but praise Zhao Xian again and again. With Zhao Xian's face, he naturally can't be pierced by his wife's worship, and his proud touch is very bad.

It's just that the two of them are calculating, and they suddenly feel that the deficit is too big, especially in recent months, they can't make ends meet.

Sister Liu suddenly felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that in the jewelry business, the goods will not deteriorate after a few years, why is the cost so large? She was puzzled, so she called the head of the shop.

After a while, a middle-aged man with two mustaches came over, and when he heard Boss Liu's inquiry, he immediately said with a bitter face: "Madam, it's not a small one who fills his pockets, but a few months ago, the landlord here gambled money to lose this shop to others, and the landlord who took over the rent has tripled the rent, and the background is very hard, and the small one can't be provoked at all, so it's not okay if you don't pay this money!" ”

"What?" Sister Liu was suddenly depressed, slapped the table hard, and scolded: "The little snake also rode on our heads, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the old lady Zhao Xian'an is here, who is so bold?" ”

The middle-aged chief shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Mrs. Yu, I told them that Wanbaolou is the property of the An family, but those people are very angry, saying that the old lady is also an equal generation in front of him, and Young Master Zhao Xian has to bend down and salute when he goes." They are the head snakes in the Jinling realm, and there are more than 100 thugs under them, and the small ones really can't be provoked. ”

"What a big breath!" Sister Liu was suddenly depressed, there are only a few elderly ministers who dare to match the old lady's peers in Daliang, right? Little Jinling, dare someone be so presumptuous?

"I see him and want to bend down? Bah! Zhao Xian clapped his hands and smiled angrily: "Lao Tzu has never seen anyone, almost kissed the emperor, will he bend down to salute a few thugs?" ”

Just as he was saying this, there were suddenly a few noises downstairs, and a loud voice shouted below: "The people on this street get out of here, pay the rent, pay the rent!" One step later plus twenty taels! Lao Tzu has guests in the house, time is precious, and I don't have time to mix blindly with you......"

Zhao Xian was suddenly depressed, my day, when the name of the little overlord in the south of the city is used to paste the wall? Seeing that Liu's wife was about to go downstairs, he hurriedly stopped and said, "This kind of trivial matter in the market, leave it to me!" ”

Sister Liu hesitated slightly, then agreed, after all, her identity is different now, there is a man next to her, and she is a little embarrassed to show up at a woman's house.

Zhao Xian rolled up his sleeves to reveal his thick arms, moved his neck and made a few 'gurgling' sounds of bone friction, and snorted angrily: "What a big breath, I want to see how you made me bend down to salute......" (to be continued......
