Datong Mansion, the Xicheng branch of the Business League.

The center of business alliance is in Datong, in addition to the general number of Dongcheng, there are more than 20 shops in the four cities, dealing in everything from firewood, rice, oil, salt, silk and silk to cattle, horses, livestock, fur and dry goods, all the goods in Datong City.

In the corner on the left side of the counter, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard is sitting precariously, holding a brush to transcribe the accounts, "10 liters of coarse cloth 20 horses, yellow silk 15 zhang ......" The font under the pen is clever and dense, swaying to the end. The man's expression was extremely focused, and his attention was not on the accounts and figures, but on the ink words that flowed out of the pen.

The streets of Datong are sparsely populated, and the shop has not had much business for a month or two, and the men in the shop are swinging feather dusters and beating the floating ash on the cloth and satin. The shopkeeper sat at the counter of the clinic, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was paying attention to every move in the store, and as if he had fallen asleep.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the street outside the door, and the clever man immediately walked to the door to greet him. The shopkeeper has not moved, and one or two small individual customers do not need to be received by him personally.

"The owner is here!" The respectful voice of the man came from the door, and the back tone was very long, reminding the shopkeeper in the house.

The shopkeeper's body shook, his eyes rolled slightly, and he walked out of the counter with small steps, his face full of smiles, only the bookkeeper did not pay attention to the movement outside, and did not react.

"Liu Dongjia is here!" Seeing Liu Quan's figure clearly, the shopkeeper's waist bent lower, and his heart went up and down, I don't know why the owner suddenly came here.

Liu Quan stood outside the door and looked inside, pointed to the account room that was still writing, and asked, "How is he?" ”

"Of course, the person who Liu Dongjia likes can't be wrong, although he doesn't understand accounts, but he learns very quickly, and there are not many customers in the store recently, so he just lets him practice." The shopkeeper smiled. After the Spring Festival, the accounts of the various businesses of the business alliance needed to be discussed and decided by Liu Quan and Zong Mao, and it was at that time that Liu Quan suddenly transferred the original skilled account office and appointed this novice.

Liu Quan slowly stepped over the threshold and arched his hand inward: "Brother Xileng! ”

After hearing the sound of writing, the bookkeeper turned his head, saw Liu Quan, waved his shirt and stood up to return the salute, saying, "The brothers of the Liu family are here!" ”

The shopkeeper looked a little confused, and he didn't know what the relationship between his owner and this person was, and how to call each other brothers.

"How's it going to be here?" Liu Quanhuan looked around, "Brother Xileng, you are talented, falling in my small temple, it makes me feel uneasy!" ”

The man shook his head with a wry smile, a trace of desolation flashed on his face, and said, "Brother Liu, I want to say it again, it is a great favor for you to take me in." These days are the most stable time I've had in the past three or four years, and when I think about it, everything in the past is like a passing cloud. ”

"Brother Xi Leng, I'm here this time to tell you that you don't have to stay here any longer, so that I don't have to worry about it all day!" Liu Quan burst out with a hearty laugh.

"What's the matter, have those people been held accountable?" The middle-aged man waved his sleeves, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"No, no! Look where you want to go! Liu Quan smiled and waved his hand, "Datong is not Pingyang Mansion, and those people don't have such great ability." ”

"You don't want to keep me?" The middle-aged man was puzzled.

"Brother Xileng, where is it, I'm here to introduce you to a better place." Liu Quan's mysterious color appeared, and said: "It's a pity that your great talent is buried here, if you go there, it won't be difficult to go back to Puxian one day!" ”

The man instantly showed excitement, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Brother Liu, I won't tell you a secret. My family suffered hardship, and I was displaced in the Central Plains for three or four years, and I saw through many things. The wealth and fame in the world have a fixed number, and you can't grasp it if you want to reach out and grab it. ”

"A few years ago, I also had Lingyunzhi in my heart, and at that time, Mr. Mo said that Mr. Accounts, it is not uncommon for you, the owner, to let me do it. Now I am left alone, and I am also accused of being a thief, and I just want to live the rest of my life in peace and security, and I don't have to worry about my livelihood anymore. The middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "As long as my brother can take me in, I don't have to go anywhere!" ”

"You don't have to make a decision so early, and listen to me slowly." Liu Quan knows that he has lived a precarious life all these years, and he is nostalgic for the current stability.

Liu Quan pulled his sleeve and walked into the backyard behind the shop, and ordered the shopkeeper to set up two chairs under the locust tree and serve two cups of tea. The shopkeeper waited cautiously, recalling that he had not made things difficult for the new bookkeeper these days, and secretly rejoiced.

This bookkeeper's name is Liu Xileng, who is one year older than Liu Quanquan, and is his brother according to his generation.

The surname Liu is distributed in most places, Liu Quan's family originated in Pu County, four generations ago due to the disaster to go out of the west to do business, until Liu Quan's father founded the Dexiang Pavilion business in Hukou. Settled on the border and missed the homeland, the ancestors would often mention the people in the family, and Liu Quan's father would go to Puxian County to worship his ancestors after three or five years. Liu Quan also went to Puxian when he was a child, but after serving as the treasurer of Dexiang Pavilion, he was busy with affairs and never went back. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi thieves fled into the southwest of Shanxi, Puxian County was breached, and countless deaths were lost. Because of this matter, Mrs. Liu wept for more than ten days, didn't think about tea and dinner, and fell seriously ill.

Liuxi Leng's family is a Puxian wang family, his grandfather once won the Jinshi, and the old lady Liu went home to worship his ancestors, and he was familiar with Liu Xileng's father. Liu Xileng has been familiar with hundreds of schools since he was a child, listened to his grandfather say officialdom anecdotes, and took his grandfather as an example, wanting to break his father's bad luck of repeated failures, and then glorify the lintel of the Liu family, but he didn't expect that his fate was almost the same as his father's. After Gao Yingxiang broke through Pu County, both the common people and the official family were turned into powder. Because he could read and write, he was favored by thieves to stay in the army, and he was carried into the Central Plains. In a few years, from Yunyang to Shaanxi, and then to Henan and Nanzhili, he escaped only after Lu Xiangsheng defeated Gao Yingxiang and begged all the way home.

Back to Puxian County, there are not many people left, and the huge industry of the Liu family is also in the hands of others. Originally, the house deed had already been lost in the chaos, and he didn't dare to go home to the property, but after returning to his hometown for more than ten days, he was accused of being a "thief".

"Do you know who owns such a big industry as Shangmeng?" Liu Quan pulled his brother to sit down.

"Isn't it yours?" Liu Xi was surprised.

"It's not!" Liu Quan shook his head, "I only have two percent of the shares!" The rest, except for the scattered shares, are owned by Zhai Dongjia. ”

"Zhai Dongjia?"

"Datong General Zhai Zhe, the second son of the Zhai family of Jiexiu Wangshun Pavilion, and the sister-in-law of the Dashengkui Fan family!"

"Hmm!" Liu Xi's cold eyebrows twitched, and he didn't show a look of surprise at all. He escaped from the den of thieves after many hardships, and when he returned to his hometown to see that his relatives were no longer alive and had been framed again, he was disheartened and had no interest in the affairs of the outside world.

"You were charged with "thief" in Pingyang Mansion because someone was afraid that you would return to your former family business. In Datong, I can ensure your safety after incognito, but it is really beyond the reach of the whip to help you take away your family business, and if you don't get rid of your crimes, you can't participate in scientific research, and you can't be a bookkeeper for the rest of your life. I will introduce you to General Zhai's mansion as a staff member, if you can get his appreciation, these problems can be solved! ”

Liu Xi's cold eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said: "He is just a third-grade general, and he is in Datong Town, how can he bother to offend those people to help a staff member." ”

Liu Quan smiled lightly and said: "General Zhai is not an ordinary general, otherwise I would not give up Dexiangkui to join forces with him." I'll listen to what I've said about his experience before it's too late to make a decision. He concisely told Liu Xi Leng about Zhai Zhe's experience, and it took him half an hour.

Liu Quan made his words clear and said: "The owner needs a staff member who understands the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, I searched all over Shanxi, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate, and suddenly I thought of you." There's no better fit than you! He tried his best to secretly help Zhai Zhe find a staff, but Zhai Zhe's reputation in Shanxi was not good, and the experience of recruiting from outside the Saiwai made the children of the official eunuchs avoid him, and the tentacles of the Eight Families were everywhere, and the showdown between the Shang Alliance and the Eight Families was just around the corner, and he didn't dare to introduce it if he wasn't a person who knew the roots, but fortunately, there was a clan brother who was sent to the door.

The more Liu Xileng listened, the more shocked he became, this general was really different, and after listening, he whispered: "He shouldn't go back to Daming." ”

"What?" Liu Quan didn't hear him clearly.

"He shouldn't have gone back to Daming!" Liu Xi Leng raised his provincial tone and said with a wry smile: "The Ming officialdom is a big ink tank, and it is a ball of ribbons, even if a white lotus comes in, it will go out in black, even if it is a hero of the world, it will be tied up helplessly." ”

"I know what you're talking about, but people have to move forward." Liu Quan laughed, "You are working for Zhai Dong's family as a bookkeeper here, and you are contributing to Zhai Shen's family as a staff member, there is no difference!" His salary there will definitely be higher than in this shop! ”

"Walking with him is the only way to get things done, but now the defeat is here! One careless step is an abyss! Liu Xileng had a spoken**.

"So please go and help! Taking a step back, if the business alliance declines, your bookkeeper here will not be able to sit steadily. Liu Quan smiled, not ashamed of his alarmism.

"How can I help him? What he did was not earth-shattering, I was just a helpless scholar. Liu Xi smiled bitterly, "My family has lost their lives at the hands of thieves, and I have been in the rebel camp for four years, and I am used to seeing the bones and cooking, and the children are eaten, so I feel that my thoughts a few years ago were unspeakably funny." In fact, think about those people who said that I was a thief and did not wronged me, I did give advice to the thief, life in the world is like a spring catkins fluttering with the wind, blowing you on the surface of the water and falling into the water, blowing on the stone will not bud. ”

"So I changed my name to Suifeng!" He looked up at the lush branches above him, and a small bird jumped and chirped happily. It is indeed a hundred times better to be a staff member than to be a bookkeeper.
