Chapter 17: The Treasurers
Where did Ji Lan get angry with a slave, even if he was a person in the old lady's yard, he was just a bit more temperamental, but he didn't dare to do anything to her like this.
She pointed to her mother-in-law and said, "You Diao slave wait for me!"
After speaking, he walked in the direction of his yard in a huff.
Shisu looked at her posture, it seemed that she had gone back to complain, she shook her head, and turned back to the yard.
It didn't take long for Steward Wu to send the account books and sorted out information to Xiyuan, which was much more convenient because the side door was opened.
Ji Yanning covered the medicine cup, walked out of the pharmacy, and then went to the study to read the account book.
Ji Lan cried and went back to the Li family to complain, and told the matter again and again.
Li just asked Ji Xiaoyun to ask for Qingyun Yan from Ji Yanning, but he didn't expect Ji Lan to go to Xiyuan to find Ji Yanning again.
"What are you going to do with her at this time?" Li said to Ji Lan, "Your sister just went to ask for something, wouldn't it seem that the people in our third room are all people who love to take advantage of it." ”
Ji Lan was angry in Xiyuan, and when he came back, he was reprimanded by the Li family, he panicked in his heart, lowered his head and bit his lip, and said unwillingly: "I...... I didn't think about what I wanted, I just wanted to thank her for giving the fifth sister Qingyun Yan, where did I think that she wouldn't even let me enter the yard. ”
"Thank you, thank you!" Li Shi's face suddenly changed, "You have already got the things in your hand, do you still have to remind her how valuable this Qingyun Yan is!"
Ji Lan was startled by Li's abruptly raised voice, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, that's not what my daughter meant." ”
Li said: "Don't go to Sister Ning for the next two days, it's not good to annoy her." ”
Ji Lan lowered his head and could only respond: "Yes." ”
Coming out of the Li family's courtyard, Ji Lan held back the fire in his belly.
They are all young ladies of the Ji family, why can she Ji Yanning be arrogant and do whatever she wants, so that everyone can look at her face!
It used to be like this, but now that her father and mother are dead, it has become more unscrupulous.
"Miss, don't be angry, just a brainless lady like Miss, this day won't last long. Chun Tao, the maid beside Ji Lan, said.
Ji Lan took a deep breath and slowed himself down.
Yes, how can she compare herself with Ji Yanning, she has no father and mother now, her grandmother doesn't like it, and she is stupid, sooner or later, the family property of the big house will be lost by their sisters and brothers, and she will cry when the time comes!
Thinking about it like this, her heart barely felt better.
"Hmph, let's see how long she can be proud. Ji Lan snorted coldly.
Chun Tao, the maid beside her, continued: "It is rumored outside that the eldest lady killed the third master and the third lady, and almost killed the sixth young master, and many people say that she is a disaster!"
Ji Lan listened to Chun Tao's words, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there such a thing?"
Chun Tao smiled: "Where do you dare to deceive Miss." ”
Ji Lan's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled: "What is the meaning of these words outside, it has to be heard by the people of the Ji family to be interesting." ”
Chun Tao was slightly stunned, and then understood the words of the third lady, she lowered her head and said, "The slave knows." ”
......
Ji Yanning looked at it in the study for more than two hours before he saw the thick pile of account books and income details.
By this time it was already dark.
When Ziyu stepped forward to add tea, Ji Yanning just put down the last account book.
"Sister. Ji Lang walked in from outside.
Seeing Ji Lang's face, a smile appeared on Ji Yanning's originally indifferent face.
Ji Lang stepped forward and asked, "Is my sister still looking at the account books so late?"
Ji Yanning said: "Yes, tomorrow I have to meet with the stewards of various shops in Baochang Ji, and I must always make preparations." ”
Ji Lang glanced at those thick books, and couldn't help but be stunned, when will my sister see so many things.
Seeing the slightest fear in his eyes, Ji Yanning touched his head and said, "These sisters have finished reading." Tomorrow you will meet with me with those stewards. ”
"Huh?" Ji Lang's eyes widened, "but I don't understand anything." ”
He was only seven years old, he had only been in school for a short time, and he had not even read all the words, what could he do?
Ji Yanning said softly: "It's because you don't know how to learn it." You don't have to worry, tomorrow you just have to watch, learn slowly, and you will understand the way when you see more. Those who are eyeing Bao Cheong Kee will not be tolerant because we are young, so we should be strong to protect ourselves earlier. ”
Ji Lang listened ignorantly, but seeing his sister's appearance of trusting him like this, he nodded seriously.
Ji Yanning asked, "How is Lang'er learning the lessons taught by the master in the school?
Ji Lang shook his head and said, "I can complete the endorsement of the Chinese characters required by the master, and it is not very difficult." ”
Ji Yanning said with a smile: "Then if I invite another martial arts master to teach you, do you think it's good?"
Ji Lang nodded: "Okay." If you learn martial arts, you can protect your sister. ”
"Tomorrow, I will ask Steward Wu to find you a master who practices martial arts. Ji Yanning said.
Sooner or later, this Ji family will be taken over by Ji Lang, so no matter what, she has to make Ji Lang even better.
Early in the morning of the second day, after Ji Yanning practiced archery, he took Ji Lang to the main hall of Xiyuan.
At this time, Steward Wu and the shopkeepers of various shops had already arrived.
"Miss, young master. ”
Seeing Ji Yanning and Ji Lang walking into the main hall, everyone got up and saluted.
Ji Yanning walked straight to the main seat and sat down: "You don't have to be polite, sit." ”
Her calm and unhurried temperament has made many shopkeepers shine.
But some people didn't buy it, and the shopkeeper at the bottom said: "The young owner is so young, I'm afraid that some things can't be mastered, why don't you let other capable people in the Ji family come out to preside over the overall situation." ”
Ji Lang looked at Ji Yanning a little nervously, and the others also quieted down.
Ji Yanning looked in the direction of Steward Wu.
Steward Wu understood and introduced: "This is the shopkeeper of the shop in Dongwu County, the shopkeeper of Wei Furen Wei." ”
Ji Yanning nodded, and had a plan in his heart.
Wei Furen, Webster's cousin. He climbed Wei's relationship before he entered Baochang Hall to do things, no wonder he didn't have a good face for her.
Ji Yanning looked at him and said, "Regardless of ability, Baochang Hall was founded by my father with his hard work, and now that my father is no longer alive, no one is more qualified to take over Baochang Ji than our sister and brother." ”
"Besides, who said that age means strength? The shopkeeper Wei, who is in his forties, has served as the shopkeeper of Dongwu County for two years, but this profit is not as profitable as the previous shopkeeper of Dongwu County. If Miss Ben is not mistaken, the last person in Soochow was the shopkeeper Liu who is now in the shop on West Street, and he is only in his thirties, right?"
She glanced at Shopkeeper Wei with disdain, and there was a chill in her eyes.
Shopkeeper Liu, who was named by name, was a little surprised, she would know herself.
"Bang!" Shopkeeper Wei slapped the table and said unhappily, "How can this be compared? When Shopkeeper Liu was here, the people in Dongwu County were rich, and their income was not good in the past two years, so our business was naturally not good." What's more, even if I have no credit in the past two years, I have worked hard, what can you know about this yellow-haired girl!"
