"Then thank you, girl." Lin Shuqing accepted the gift.

The other girls also gathered in front of Lin Shuqing and handed over their gifts.

Some of them made their own handkerchiefs, while others were a collection of poems that they copied.

In general, the gift is more urbane.

Lin Shuqing took these gifts and deeply felt that the Xie family was a family that liked poetry and books.

After giving the gifts, the girls began to copy their poetry books again.

looked at the poetry collections sent by Lin Shuqing one by one, and couldn't take their eyes off it, Lin Shuqing could only sit aside and drink tea.

But it didn't take long for Lin Shuqing to be led to another courtyard by a maid.

Lin Shuqing looked at it, but it was also the middle-aged man just now, and the old lady.

When the two saw Lin Shuqing coming, there were more eager smiles on their faces.

"Miss Lin, come on! Come, sit here......" The old lady looked at Lin Shuqing and said enthusiastically.

"Old Madam Xie."

Lin Shuqing sat up, it was the position next to the old lady, but the middle-aged man was sitting a little far.

"This is my eldest son, Yushan, you should have already seen it." The old lady pointed to the middle-aged man.

Lin Shuqing nodded, "I've seen it." ”

The uncle who came to ask her question just now was the head of the Xie family.

"It's not anything else that I'm looking for Miss Lin, it's for this recipe. My old lady is too old to eat, and a few pastries from your recipe are to my liking. ”

"Your pastries are your own secret recipes, and I can't take advantage of your little girl for nothing, so I will prepare some silver for you." The old lady said leisurely.

Then the maid on the side came up, took a wooden box, and opened the lid on it.

A whole box, neatly packed of snowflakes of silver.

"Didn't the old lady give me a gold bracelet yesterday?" Lin Shuqing looked at the silver and said with some surprise.

"The gold bracelet is a meeting gift for Miss Lin. And this silver is the money for Miss Lin to buy her son......" Xie Yushan said, his tone full of open-mindedness.

Lin Shuqing counted the pile of silver, and visually measured at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

She only has a whole rice cake for dozens of yuan, how many rice cakes do she have to sell in exchange for so much silver?

"Isn't this a little too much silver?" Lin Shuqing was surprised.

Buy a two-in, two-out yard in Hangzhou City, as long as the location is not very good, it will only cost dozens of taels of silver.

The amount of money in this is considered dozens of properties, is this a rich man?

"Not much, the book that the girl gave me to the Xie family is a rare treasure, this is a bit shabby to give such a little silver, and there are two house deeds below, all of which should be given to the girl for business......"

Lin Shuqing: !!!!

This is something she didn't expect, there are still two houses.

"The girl opened her own business under our shop, so she was not more worried that someone would be eyeing the girl's business."

"In addition, there are some things I want to show the girl, so let's go to the study with me......" Xie Yushan said.

"Then I, the old man, won't bother you, you young people can do your own thing." The old lady waved her hand and stood up.

Lin Shuqing followed Xie Yushan out of the courtyard, and the old lady also went in another direction accompanied by the maid.

When she arrived at the Xie family's study, Lin Shuqing could be regarded as having seen what a rich family's study was.

It's just a whole building, several floors, and it's all a collection of books.

There are paper and bamboo slips, and each one looks quite old.

"Girl, do you know a person named Yang Ba very well?" Xie Yushan walked to the desk and suddenly opened his mouth.

Suddenly hearing this name, Lin Shuqing was a little surprised, looked at Xie Yushan suspiciously, and nodded.

"It's a little familiar, I had some communication with Yang Baye before, and I asked him to help me find some things."

"Does that girl know what kind of business this Yang Ba is doing?"

This is Lin Shuqing's real doubts, is there any shady business to do.

"I know that he is the steward of the Chamber of Commerce, and he also does business with Fanbang people."

"I don't know the rest."

The corners of Xie Yushan's mouth curved slightly, and he touched his beard.

"Bring the stuff ......"

As soon as the words fell, a young man in a fancy costume took out a book from the bookshelf on the side and handed it to Xie Yushan.

Only then did Lin Shuqing notice that the person who had been standing in front of the bookshelf turned out to be a handsome man.

"Girl, this is registered by the government office, the list of craftsmen who have disappeared in Hangzhou City in recent years."

Xie Yushan handed the booklet to Lin Shuqing.

Lin Shuqing got it and looked at some of them, these people are old and young, and they are all craftsmen.

"Does this have anything to do with Yang Baye?"

"Yes. On the surface, Yang Ba was in the business of buying goods with the Fanbang people, and secretly, he sold a lot of craftsmen to the Fanbang people in exchange for gold and silver treasures. ”

"Some of those people have been missing for several years, and the most recent one was a dozen days ago."

"Do you know why he sold the craftsman?" Xie Yushan sold a Guan Zidao.

Lin Shuqing took the book in his hand and recalled the bits and pieces about Yang Baye.

It seems that when he was delivering the baby, he once said that he would sell the son of the stable woman as a slave.

She was all too familiar with the sale of people into slavery by sea!

Her junior high school history books wrote about the notorious slave trade, in which unarmed blacks were sold elsewhere to start plantations.

"Sell to Fanbang and give people as workers? When those people passed, they were like slaves, and they could never come back? Lin Shuqing said with a frown.

"That's true."

"At first, Yang Ba bought for the merchants of Fanbang, all of whom were craftsmen who made mistakes and were sold. Those craftsmen buy and sell, but it is ordinary. It was only later, when the craftsman was bought out, that he hit the idea on ordinary people. ”

"High salaries to deceive people to work as craftsmen, and then knock people unconscious, put them in sacks and send them to the big ship to Fanbang."

"Because of this business, Yang Baye has accumulated a lot of net worth, and some people have set their sights on him, but Yang Baye is strong in martial arts, and there are people behind him, and no one can do it for a while."

"I heard a gossip here, someone wanted to attack that Yang Ba's wife, but was rescued by Miss Lin by mistake."

After saying this, Xie Yushan stared at Lin Shuqing, still with a faint smile on his face.

Lin Shuqing is no longer calm.

"This ...... It's me, but I'm just trying to save people. Lin Shuqing said a little uncomfortable, she felt a little suffocated.

She thought that Yang Baye ......

"The girl is kind, I understand. Therefore, I thought that if the girl was for her own safety in the future, she would stay away from this Yang Ba. Xie Yushan reminded.
