Ji Yanning took a cursory look at these account books, and had a general understanding of the property left by Ji Tingsheng in his heart.

"There have been so many things that have happened in the past two months, and the business of Po Cheong Kee has lost almost two percent. Steward Wu sighed.

Ji Yanning said: "This is already very good, my father died, and everyone thought that Baochang Ji would not be able to hold on, and the business would naturally lose money." These days, Uncle Wu has worked hard. “

"What did Miss say! That's what I should do. Wu Geng was a little surprised that the eldest lady said such a thing, and hurriedly responded.

Ji Yanning put down the account book in his hand and looked up at Wu Geng.

She asked tentatively, "What friends does my father have in the court?"

If there was no help from the court, she didn't believe that Ji Tingsheng alone would be able to expand Baochang Ji's business to this point, which other families might not be able to achieve after decades of hard work, not to mention that Ji Tingsheng still had so many family members who were holding back, and even coveted his property.

Wu Geng was slightly surprised, but soon regained his look, the eldest lady's temperament has become much calmer since she woke up, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

He said: "Originally, the master did not allow others to know about this matter, but now that the eldest lady is in charge, I should also tell the truth." In fact, over the years, Lord Guo Qichun has always taken good care of us Baochang Kee. ”

It turned out to be all the transit envoys. Ji Yanning didn't expect the Ji family to have this relationship.

Although the official position is not high, the real power in his hands makes many people in the court in awe, after all, the transportation of goods in the country and the transportation of goods between various commercial banks depend on the transfer envoy, and if he provokes him, it is equivalent to provoking the money bag.

This position has made many people blush, but it is also extraordinary for those who can sit in this position. Ji Yanning couldn't imagine why Guo Qichun would favor the Ji family.

Seeing her doubts, Wu Geng explained: "When Lord Guo was still the deputy envoy of Jiangnan Transport, the master once helped Lord Guo's father, and at that time, Lord Guo was very grateful to the master, so he also took care of Baochang Ji in the delivery of goods. After Lord Guo was transferred to Chang'an to become the transfer envoy of the capital, it was still the case, and the lord gave a share of Baochang Ji to the Guo family, but it was not convenient for outsiders to say this. ”

With both kindness and benefits, it is no wonder that Po Cheong Kee has developed so rapidly.

Ji Yanning said to Wu Geng: "In the future, the share given to Lord Guo will be increased to two percent." ”

Wu Geng asked: "Miss, are you worried that Lord Guo will ...... Baochang Ji in the future?"

"It is my father, not me, who is kind to him. Ji Yanning said.

Wu Geng bowed his head and answered yes.

Now that the eldest lady is the master of this Baochang Ji, he naturally has to obey Ji Yanning's orders, and there is nothing wrong with this move.

"By the way, let's open another door to the west. Ji Yanning said to Wu Geng.

The courtyard of the big house is far away from the main gate and the back door, and the guards are all people in the second room, in order to facilitate their entry and exit from the Ji Mansion, it is a good way to open a door in the west.

Wu Geng said: "Yes, I'll see where this door is open." ”

Steward Wu did things quickly, what Ji Yanning asked him to do the day before, and on the second day, he asked someone to look at feng shui, and set a suitable location, broke the wall, and was making the door.

Ji Yanning went out with Ziyu.

The city of Jiangzhou is as lively as imagined, with people coming and going on the streets, the cries of hawkers, and the enticing aromas of the stalls selling snacks.

Ji Yanning looked at it, and this vibrant scene finally gave her a feeling of being really alive.

It's really a real feeling to be alive......

Her nose was a little pantothenic and her eye frame was a little hot, but unfortunately her relatives were gone.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Ziyu looked at her young lady's moist eyes, and suddenly panicked.

Ziyu's words brought Ji Yanning back to her senses, she chuckled, shook her head and said, "It's okay." ”

Ziyu didn't believe that she was fine, and was about to ask, but somehow she was suddenly bumped into someone.

Then a loud shout rang out in his ears: "Catch the thief!"

Ziyu was stunned, and when she looked down, she saw that the money bag she was wearing on her waist was gone!

Everyone saw two men in gray clothes running out of the crowded place one after the other, and the thief had not yet run a hundred paces before the man behind grabbed the thief's arm, and the two of them twisted together and fell to the ground.

There were a lot of people around, and when they saw someone scuffling together, they all gave way.

"You thief!"

"You're the thief!

Both men were wearing thin gray robes, both clutching each other's arms and refusing to let go, and both said that the other was the thief.

It happened too suddenly, and in such a crowded place, it was too chaotic for everyone to tell who was the thief and who caught the thief.

Ziyu squeezed forward, looked at the two people who were arguing, and turned her head to look at Ji Yanning: "What should Miss do?"

Before Ji Yanning could speak, a few people came behind him who looked like they were catching fast, and said loudly: "What are you doing! Who is making trouble here!"

The onlookers made way for the catchers.

"Official, this thief stole the money bag!"

"Nonsense, it's clear that he is a thief shouting to catch a thief!"

"You see he's still holding a money bag in his hand, who else can he have!"

"You're spewing blood! I obviously snatched it from you!"

The two gray-clothed men argued, and seeing that they were about to fight again, the catcher saw that he hurriedly asked the catcher to suppress the two of them respectively.

The catcher stepped forward, snatched the money bag directly, held it up and asked, "Who is this money bag?"

Ziyu said: "It's my young lady!"

The head catcher turned his head to look at Ji Yanning and Ziyu, and asked, "Can you see clearly who plundered the money bag?"

Ziyu shook her head a little embarrassed, if it weren't for someone shouting to catch the thief, she might not have realized that her money bag had been stolen.

Ji Yanning glanced at the gray-clothed man who was not holding a money bag in his hand, pointed at him and said, "The thief is him." ”

"Girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" The man's originally relaxed face immediately tensed, "There were so many people just now, you must have been dazzled, even your maid can't see who it is, you can't wrongfully accuse the good person who helped you catch the thief!"

Ji Yanning's expression was still the same, and he said lightly: "It's you." ”

Seeing that Ji Yanning was so determined, the head catcher planned to release the other gray-clothed man, but at this time, there was a different voice in the crowd.

"This girl deceived people, it wasn't Li Dafu who stole it at all, I obviously saw that he stole it!" A man about thirty years old stood out from the crowd, his figure was slightly bloated, he snorted coldly and said, "Li Dafu is my friend, we came out together, I can testify to him." ”

At this moment, the onlookers were even more confused, each with their own rhetoric, who said it was true?
