Chapter 217: Ji Lan breaks the contract
Wu Geng listened to the report of his subordinates, and frowned.
"The eldest lady can't give you an answer to this matter now, but this is what she has agreed to, so these shops must be closed anyway. Wu Geng turned his head to Ji Lan and said, "Miss, if you are unwell, go back early." ”
Ji Lan bowed his head and did not speak.
Wu Geng glanced at everyone, seemed to be a little anxious, and left the hall directly.
All the shopkeepers and stewards looked at Wu Geng like this, and left without saying anything clearly, and many people sighed.
When the old club left, Bao Chang Ji survived such a difficult time, but now it has become like this, how can it not be chilling?
Ji Lan looked at these people with different expressions, but they didn't seem to agree with Wu Geng's approach, and her eyes moved slightly.
Ziyu stood beside Ji Lan and whispered to her side: "Miss, we should go back, the doctor said that you should recuperate." ”
As long as the shopkeepers and stewards of Baochang Ji have seen the true face of the "eldest lady", let them rest assured and stop making trouble, so as to buy time for Steward Wu to raise 50,000 taels of gold.
Some of the shopkeepers had already stood up and were going to go out.
Ji Lan spoke at this time.
"I don't agree with Steward Wu closing the shop. ”
The hall, which was still a little noisy, suddenly quieted down, and the eyes of the shopkeepers and stewards who were just about to leave turned to Ji Lan.
Ji Lan covered her face with a veil, and her forehead was also wrapped with gauze, looking like she was injured, and only a pair of obscure eyes were exposed.
Her eyes were not as bright and firm as Ji Yanning's, but under the embellishment of Ziyu's skillful hands, it was difficult for ordinary people to see the obvious difference.
She stood up like this, faced the crowd, and said the words she had just said.
Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Ji Lan, frowned, and warned in a low voice: "Miss, let's go back." ”
She said that she was about to step forward to support Ji Lan's arm, but Ji Lan directly avoided her.
Ji Lan tried his best to imitate Ji Yanning's voice and tone, and only said, "Anyway, I don't agree." ”
Before everyone could ask why, Ji Lan had already trotted out outside.
Ziyu secretly said that it was not good, and then ran out after her.
The others in the hall looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on.
Everyone was silent for a while, and finally someone spoke: "Wu Geng is taking it upon himself to close Baochang Ji, and the eldest lady will do such a thing without his consent! I won't agree either!"
Another person chimed in: "That is, the foundation of Baochang Ji for more than ten years, where he wants to close, he can close it!"
"Wu Geng wants to move out the money circulating in the shop, no way!"
This is a few people who have ideas to say this, and the other few people who were originally in a wait-and-see attitude and still had hope for Wu Geng still wavered slightly after hearing the disagreement of the "eldest lady".
Now that other treasurers and stewards disagreed, they naturally followed suit.
A group of people broke up unhappily, went back directly and opened the shop again, even Wu Geng planned to move out the money for turnover, they didn't agree, procrastinated, and said that as long as the eldest lady let go, they would be willing to believe Wu Geng.
This movement is very big, and the entire Jiangzhou City seems to know the suspicions in Baochang Ji, the eldest lady of the Ji family and Steward Wu have a quarrel, and the young lady of the proprietor does not agree to touch the money in Baochang Ji at all, and she does not want to close the shop.
When Yan Xiaoming heard the news, he finally narrowed his eyes slightly.
In this way, Wu Geng couldn't raise 50,000 taels of gold at all!
Beigong Han immediately made a decision, and directly packed his things and planned to leave, because of his intuition, he had a premonition of danger.
Ji Yanning is a dangerous person, and Baochang Ji has such a thing, there must be this indescribable cattiness in it.
Yan Xiaoming stood in Beigong Han's room, watching him pack up his things, and then asked, "Your Highness is willing to leave like this?"
Beigong Han knotted his burden and turned his head to look at Yan Xiaoming.
"It's very unwilling. Beigong Han said, "But I am a person who understands current affairs, and I cherish my little life more than money." ”
Yan Xiaoming's eyes were heavy, he also had a hunch that Ji Yanning seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, and she had been allowed to escape from Yan's Mansion for three or four days, but her movements were a little incomprehensible.
Beigong Han walked to Yan Xiaoming's side and said, "Although we now have Bai Heshi's money, it is not enough to fight. If you can, it's best to take Po Cheong Kee. ”
Yan Xiaoming was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you think Ji Yanning, who is in the Ji Mansion now, is it true or false?"
Beigong Han hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "For the prefect, does it matter whether it is true or false?"
As long as they take Bao Chang Ji, whether it is true or not, they can use it.
Yan Xiaoming said: "I know. ”
Beigong Han's eyes flashed slightly, remembering Ji Yanning's appearance, and said in his heart that it was a pity that it was fake, such a smart beauty, how good it would be if he could go back to Yan Country with him.
It's a pity.
Beigong Han took his guards and left Jiangzhou City overnight and headed straight to the north.
Jifuri.
After Wu Geng dealt with the matter, he walked directly towards Ji Yanning's courtyard, his steps hurried.
Today, they were discussing things with the shopkeeper and the steward, but they didn't expect the little guy to suddenly come and spread the word, saying that Ji Yuansheng and You Shi seemed to have escaped, and wanted to go to the government to accuse them of lynching and beating their elders.
Fortunately, they were found in time, and they were found by Wu Geng in a small remote courtyard before they ran out.
But there was such a small fork in the middle, and Ji Lan made such a fuss.
She was talking nonsense in front of so many people!
Wu Geng walked into the courtyard, and then walked into the room, and saw Ji Lanzuo picking up jewelry in front of the dressing mirror, while Ziyu stood aside, his face a little ugly.
"Third Miss. Wu Geng said.
When Ji Lan heard Wu Geng's voice, he subconsciously turned his head, the bracelet in his hand paused, and then put it back in its place.
She immediately stood up and said to Wu Geng: "Steward Wu...... I'm sorry, but I was too impulsive today. ”
Wu Geng's face was slightly gloomy, and he could see that he was not very happy.
"Why?" he asked.
It was she who swore before that she could help and stabilize those shopkeepers and stewards, but now she reversed herself, not only did she not help him, but even made things even more rigid.
Ji Lan lowered his head, looked at Wu Geng's dark face, and said: "Because those shopkeepers and stewards seem to be very opposed, thinking that Baochang Ji is also an industry that Uncle has worked hard for, he can't just say that it will be gone." ”
Wu Geng's eyes were staring at her and said, "How did you promise before?"
Ji Lan bit his lip, a little aggrieved.
"I'm sorry. I was really just confused for a while, and I regretted it after saying that, but I didn't know how to explain it for a while, for fear that the more I explained, the more wrong it would be, so I just left. Steward Wu, I really didn't mean to. ”
Ziyu looked at Ji Lan's appearance from the side, and only felt very angry in her heart, but she couldn't say a word, she couldn't say whether she felt ridiculous or pathetic.
If the eldest lady really needs this money to save her life, Ji Lan will cut off the eldest lady's way of life, and she has to fight with Ji Lan.
Wu Geng looked at her aggrieved look, and didn't know what to say about her for a while.
Ji Lan said: "Am I in trouble? Big sister will be fine, right?"
"If you can't raise money in a short time, I'm afraid that the villains will be unfavorable to the eldest lady. Wu Geng said.
Ji Lan covered his mouth and said in surprise: "So serious?"
Wu Geng didn't speak again, looking at Ji Lan, a little displeased, a little reproachful.
Ji Lan bowed his head and said: "It's all my fault, it's my fault, such a trivial matter can cause trouble." ”
Ziyu couldn't stand it on the side, and walked out of the room directly.
Wu Geng sighed and said, "That's it, now is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong, the important thing is to recover the losses as soon as possible and find a solution." ”
Ji Lan looked up at Wu Geng and asked, "Then do I still need to pretend to be a big sister now?"
Now those treasurers and stewards of Baochang Ji have also seen her, and they will not suspect that she is still in the hands of the robbers, not to mention that she has caused such a "big disaster" today, and she also knows in her heart that Wu Geng is very likely to be unwilling to let her pretend to be Ji Yanning anymore.
Wu Geng said: "As long as the eldest lady has not come back, you will temporarily take over her role, and remember to wear a veil when you go out of the house on weekdays." ”
Ji Lan's eyes lit up slightly, nodded, and said, "I know, I will definitely be cautious in my words and deeds in the future, and I will not cause trouble to Steward Wu." ”
Wu Geng glanced at Ji Lan, with a little deep meaning in his eyes, and didn't say anything else, but turned around and left directly.
Looking at Wu Geng's leaving, Ji Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her eyes were full of smiles.
If Ji Yanning really can't come back, then she is the real eldest lady of the Ji family! Baochang Ji will be taken over by Sanfang, and everything Ji Yanning has, she can also have!
As for Ji Lang, that kid has nothing to fear.
What could be more exciting?
She just wants to deliberately keep Baochang Ji, otherwise it is really not worth it to exchange 50,000 taels of gold for Ji Yanning's cheap life!
Thinking of this, Ji Lan's heart was even more excited, she turned around and walked towards the dresser, glanced at the jewelry inside, she snorted lightly, and said, "That's all, how can you be worthy of me? I want a hundred times more than these!"
She closed the drawer, turned and went in the direction of the bed, and lay down leisurely.
As everyone knows, all her actions fell in Yuan Wu's eyes.
Yuan Wu's eyes were slightly downcast, and he silently watched Ji Lan's every move, but he still didn't make a sound.
