As soon as the shopkeeper Luo entered the house, he found the broken tea cup on the ground, and he thought that Mrs. Fang was probably unlucky this time, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for herself.

"Shopkeeper Luo, you tell the old man what happened in Yuxing in the last two days. Old Madam Lin sat in the hall, her complexion had eased a lot, but her tone was very stern.

"Yes, it's the old lady. Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly saluted the old lady, and then said while recalling.

"That's right, old lady.

Half a month ago, our family was in the jade mine in Yushan County, on the outskirts of Beijing, and somehow, six female corpses were suddenly dug up. When even shocked Jingzhao Mansion Yin, officials were sent to investigate.

This is also a good thing for the people, but I didn't expect the case to progress for a long time, but I had no clue. Our jade mine has been sealed, and as a result, the supply of 'Xuanlin Jade Hang' has suddenly been cut off. Because the business of our jade store in the capital has been very good, it is even comparable to Xu Ji's jewelry store. As soon as this happened, it was immediately surrounded by several other jade shops in Shangjing. ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Luo couldn't help but stop, swallowed his saliva, and then said,

"Old lady, you don't need to say it, you know it. The most fearful thing about doing jade business in the capital is that there is no good quality supply. If we can't supply good goods, it will not only seem that our jade store has no foundation, but also offend our old customers who loved us before. And most of these old customers are the wives and ladies of the official and noble families in Beijing. came and went, making the face very unsightly.

Although the eldest lord has made a clear order, he will not let 'Xuanlin Yuxing' be outside the reputation of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and he is not allowed to borrow the power of the General's Mansion to do things. But I can't supply the goods that the nobles want, not to mention whether the nobles can't dismantle the shop of the jade shop, even if the shop has no credit and business, it will have to close sooner or later, my old lady. ”

In the end, Shopkeeper Luo knelt directly in front of Mrs. Lin, crying as if his child had been wronged.

Old Madam Lin frowned slightly,

"You said that you reported it to the Fang Lady Fang clan as soon as something happened?"

"Yes, yes. Shopkeeper Luo couldn't stop nodding, "As soon as the accident happened, early the next morning, the little one sent someone to report to Mrs. Fang." But I don't know why Mrs. Fang hasn't responded to the little one until now. ”

The old lady didn't speak for a long time, and looked carefully at the shopkeeper Luo of Xuanlin Yuxing in front of her.

If it was said that seven or eight days ago, the Fang clan was greatly stimulated, and the power of the head of the house was taken away again, and he did not recover for a while, and he didn't care about the life or death of those civilian women, he could understand it.

But if it was half a month ago-

Old Madam Lin snorted slightly, "This shopkeeper Luo is really clean." ’

Just when the shopkeeper in the hall was looked at by Mrs. Lin's eyes, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he couldn't stay angry any longer, Mrs. Lin waved her hand and said,

"What is Shopkeeper Luo doing so politely, don't get up quickly, is it possible to wait for the old man to go down to help you. ”

Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thinking that although the old lady said so, she should not be held accountable.

I really didn't expect that the old lady who had not taken care of her home or the jade shop in the house for so many years could still have such a vicious eye and see the unreasonable place in her mouth at a glance. Fang Cai originally wanted to take advantage of the absence of Mrs. Fang and push all the sewage that he had conspired with her onto her. Now it seems that in front of the old lady, she still dispelled this idea as soon as possible.

Shopkeeper Luo stood up, raised his eyes and glanced at the old lady with some trepidation, but saw that the old lady Lin only glanced at him slightly, so he instructed Shuqin on the side,

"Go and call the eldest and second misses. ”

"Yes, old lady. ”

Shuqin answered and walked towards Lin Yaoyue and Lin Yaofang, who were still reading the account books next door.

Lin Yaofang was proudly waiting for the next Shuqin test for herself and Lin Yaoyue, she would definitely perform better than Lin Yaoyue, so she was looking left and right, and chatting with the little maid Huilin on the side, disturbing Lin Yaoyue's idea of settling accounts.

Unexpectedly, Shuqin suddenly entered the warm pavilion.

"Ah, Sister Shuqin, you're back, Fang'er has finished reading the accounts, just waiting for you to take the exam. Saying that, Lin Yaofang stood up from the stool, smiled with a smile, and stepped forward affectionately.

found that Shuqin didn't pay attention to her words at this time, but stepped forward and made an estranged blessing to Lin Yaoyue and herself, but it was extremely appropriate.

Lin Yaofang was a little stupid for a while, and her eyes couldn't help but stare at her.

I saw that Shuqin was talking to Lin Yaoyue more respectful than herself, so I heard Shuqin say to Lin Yaoyue, "Miss, the old lady asks you to go to the main house with the second miss." Now, please come with the slave and maid. ”

Lin Yaoyue put down the calculation brush in her hand and got up gently, Lin Yaofang followed the steps of the two and entered the main house where everyone gathered.

The old lady glanced at Lin Yaoyue and Lin Yaofang who came in and said, "This is the shopkeeper of Xuanlin Yuxing at home. ”

The two saluted in unison, "I've seen Shopkeeper Luo." ”

"Two young ladies, don't dare, Luo is just a subordinate of the Lin family. Although Shopkeeper Luo said so, Lin Yaoyue glanced at the old lady's expression with her spare eyes.

Obviously, the old lady just wanted her and Lin Yaofang to give a gift to the shopkeeper Luo.

Lin Yaofang looked at the appearance of the shopkeeper Luo, although she still greeted her in a proper manner, but she was quite disdainful in her heart. It's not just because the shopkeeper Luo is just a shopkeeper who manages the jade store outside the general's mansion of the town. What's more, he saw his mother Fang with his own eyes and didn't want to see him, and he also blasted him out of Fangxiaju a few days ago.

Looking at Lin Yaofang's expression, Lin Yaoyue somewhat believed what Mama Gui said that day.

The Fang clan is now in a dispute with Xuanlin Yuxing's shopkeeper Luo, and the two are about to tear their faces, although they haven't come into contact with Shopkeeper Luo yet, they don't know what it's for.

But it's still good news for me. It seems that the opportunity to take away Xuanlin Yuxing from the hands of the concubine Fang clan is coming.

Old Madam Lin saw that Lin Yaoyue and Lin Yaofang had finished saluting before saying, "Don't you both have to learn the art of housekeeping, right now our Lin family's Xuanlin Yuxing has gone wrong."

You and follow the shopkeeper Luo, if any of you can save the business of Xuanlin Yuxing, then Xuanlin Yuxing will be handed over to someone to take care of in the future. If you can't save our jade business, it means that you don't have the ability. And the matter of the housekeeper, you two should not mention it again. ”

Lin Yaofang couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, what does grandmother mean by this. Although she has her mother's help, she knows that it is a mess at a glance, and she Lin Yaofang doesn't want to rely on it.

Seeing that Lin Yaofang was a little reluctant and wanted to step forward to reject this unfair arrangement, Lin Yaoyue was also clear in her heart.

This is just another grandmother's 'partiality', even to the point of irreparable. Lin Ruzhen couldn't come to the General's Mansion to learn housekeeping indefinitely, and she, Lin Yaoyue and Lin Yaofang's grandmother, was going to cut off the opportunity for the two of them to be housekeepers with her own hands.
