Lin Qian nodded, only felt that this matter was not so simple, simply put, the Zhang family was very deep, and it seemed that the prime minister was not sure to investigate the Zhang family thoroughly.

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "My lord, do you eat cuttlefish?" We just have a few fresh cuttlefish today, ready to add vegetables at noon! ”

"Oh? If I'm not mistaken, unless I find a source, I can't buy cuttlefish! Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, picked up the remaining soup dumplings and ate them, scooped up two spoonfuls of white porridge, and added some pickles.

Lin Qian was a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I disguised myself as a hidden doctor to treat Zhang Gongzi, and passed by a few gloomy rooms, and there was movement inside. Last night, my husband and I went to investigate, and on a whim, we used a net to pocket some cuttlefish, and we were almost discovered. ”

Chen Yan scooped a small spoonful of white porridge, and took advantage of this gap to say, "How many do you remember?" ”

Lin Qian wrenched her finger and said, "It's about twenty or thirty steps wide, and there is a somewhat large pool in it, maybe there are more than a hundred." ”

Mu Luan nodded, fed her another mouthful of soup dumplings, and directly blocked her mouth.

Chen Zhan took the bowl and drank the white porridge in the bowl, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth, put it in Chen Ran's hand, and got up.

"Got it, Ran'er, where is your room?"

"Go upstairs to the first room on the right." Chen Ran was finally able to interject a sentence.

Chen Yan went upstairs, Lin Qian ate all the soup dumplings, and began to burp non-stop, poured another glass of water, glanced at Mu Luan, and said, "Are you planning to choke me to death?" ”

Mu Luan sighed and said, "What you said is useless, I'm afraid we have already startled the snake last night, even if the adults immediately lead the troops to search, they can't find a trace." ”

Lin Qian looked at Mu Luan suspiciously, and suddenly realized, "The Zhang family can get to this point today, and they can't just rely on the big people behind them, if they don't have the ability, even if the big people are interested in helping, it's a fantasy." ”

Mu Luan touched the back of her head twice and said, "The little girl is so smart!" ”

Chen Ran sat opposite the two of them and shook violently, his eyes glanced away, and he drank two more mouthfuls of porridge.

Mu Luan and Lin Qian went to work, and the guards came back, knocked on the door, and reported the matter to Chen Yan.

"Is the charge of Wang County's order true?"

"The subordinates have already checked, and over the years, they have searched for the people's fat and people's ointment, and the subordinates have heard that he has sixteen aunts, and he plans to marry his daughter-in-law to a certain businessman who is not confused......"

Chen Zhan took the fold sent by the guards to read it, but two or three copies, and it was over while talking, and he went to Chen Ran's bookshelf and took the most unique small book to check.

suddenly smiled, "This stinky boy has really grown up, and he remembers every account clearly, and he really looks like he has opened a store and is a shopkeeper." ”

The guard then said, "Childe is a smart person, and settling accounts is naturally a piece of cake." ”

Chen Ran came to deliver fruit, heard it at the door, was in a good mood, pushed the door and said, "Dad, eat fruit!" ”

He placed a plate of washed grapes on the table and took back his little ledger with a little shyness.

Chen Zhan twisted a plump purple grape and peeled it and said, "What about Mu Luan and Lin Qian?" ”

Chen Ran said, "I went to work, they found a job in the dyeing workshop, and I have met the proprietress a few times, which is quite spicy." ”

But he saw Chen Zhan bring the peeled grapes to Chen Ran's mouth, "Sit down and talk to my father about these days." ”

Chen Ran opened his mouth and ate the grapes with satisfaction, his heart was very beautiful, and he sat down and told him several 'big things' that had happened these days with great emotion.

Lin Qian was counting the inventory in the warehouse and sneezed twice inexplicably.

Mu Luan touched her wrist, touched her forehead again, and said with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, I guess I'm being remembered!" Lin Qian took a cup of tea that had been cooled and drank it all.

"Childe, why didn't that little girl go to exchange silver? Could it be that the amount of one hundred taels of gold is too large, and they all faint happily, or the money village can't have so much cash anymore? The scholar poured Zhang Xingui a cup of tea, and handed it over with a cup of tea with an orchid finger like a woman.

Zhang Xingui stroked his hand, took the tea ambiguously and chuckled, "Our Zhang family is not short of silver, she can exchange it." ”

The scholar took the cup he had drunk and put it back in its place, walked across from him and grinded, and said, "Childe, you said that the movement of the cuttlefish house last night was them?" ”

Zhang Xingui sat upright, licked the ink for the brush, wrote 1,280 taels on the account book, and said, "Recently, the Zhang family's shops generally have a low income, what's going on?" ”

The scholar glanced at the account book and said, "Could it be that Miss Xia resents you for being reconciled with her and secretly stumbling on you?" ”

"No, I've known her for many years, she's not this kind of person!" Zhang Xingui said very sincerely.

The scholar suddenly pursed his mouth, put down the ink inkstone, and pretended to be angry, "Can that boy have a better explanation?" The Zhang family's things are all the best, how can anyone be blind and not buy them? ”

Zhang Xingui smiled and reassured, "Okay, Xu is just that our family's business has really been bad recently." By the way, where did Steward Zhang go? ”

The scholar said, "I have already asked someone to drain all the ink in the cuttlefish pond, send it to the workshop, and replace it with ink mixed with water." In this way, even if someone comes to check, there is no way to check! ”

"Well done, what reward do you want?" Zhang Xingui raised his head and touched his chin.

The scholar said, "Childe, I want to dress up as a daughter and go shopping with Childe, how does Childe think?" ”

"If you like it, it's fine!"

Lin Qian and Mu Luan went back to the hospital and called Xia Qin to eat lunch together.

Lin Qian went to the kitchen to skillfully handle the cuttlefish, the head and antennae were separated, the antennae were chopped for other purposes, the cuttlefish head was cut into two pieces, cut into small pieces, cut the flowers with an oblique knife, and put them on a plate.

If it weren't for the help of Yiren and Xia Tan, Xu would have had to wait a lot of time.

The meal was served, and Xia Tan was recognized by Chen Zhan.

"My lord, do you know me?" Xia Qin just came to eat, but he didn't expect there to be big shots present.

"It's not enough to know," Chen Yan's attitude towards her and Mu An is completely different, and she is very kind, "I just heard Chen Ran talk about it, and besides, I and your grandfather are also good friends, and when I was a child, I also mentioned to your grandfather that I wanted to marry you and Chen Ran!" Now, is it married? ”

As soon as he heard about the marriage, Xia Tan felt uncomfortable with chopsticks, and sat down in a precarious position, "No, the family business left by my grandfather has just been on the right track in my hands, so I have no plans to marry for the time being, let alone get married." ”

Chen Ran raised his head and gave Chen Zhan a dish, and said with a dry smile, "Dad, don't say anything, you still taught me!" ”

Chen Zhan looked at his son with a hippie smile, a little angry, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said, "You kid, I don't know who you will harm in the future, and I don't know which girl can bring you down!" ”
