Chapter 55 - Relying on the store
Xiao Yiran's heart was cold, and he turned his head and said: "My lord, the grass people looked at this account book and found that during this period of time, Baicao Tang had lost no eight hundred taels because of Tiandong, this shopkeeper is lying!" ”
"What's going on! What shopkeeper, you dare to deceive this official! Master Jia slapped the table, and the whole person looked very angry. He already knew in his heart that this would be the result, and now the most important thing is to get himself out of his innocence!
Shopkeeper He knelt down with a "poof": "My lord, the grass people didn't want to deceive the adults, but they remembered it wrong for a while." ”
"Shopkeeper He's misremembered number is too different from the ledger!" Xiao Yiran said.
was demolished, Shopkeeper He's face was blue and white at this time, he turned his head and glared at her hatefully, and then bowed his head and said, "It's my fault!" Please forgive me. ”
He has been able to be the shopkeeper in Yong'an Hall for so many years, of course, he has a very good set of words and feelings, and he understands that at this time he has no choice but to admit his mistakes.
Master Jia was also a little embarrassed, after all, he had already read this kind of thing in the account book just now, and he couldn't help coughing twice.
"Master Jia, I think this matter is clear today." The man was on the sidelines.
"Yes! Be! Clear, clear! Master Jia hurriedly responded.
The man nodded: "It's good to be clear." Then he changed his words: "But in my opinion, Baicaotang's sale of Tiandong is not Baicaotang's fault, but the Shenghong medicinal material caravan does not follow the paperwork, and it stands to reason that this money should be compensated by them." As for the remaining Tiandong in the Baicao Hall, if Yong'an Hall wants it, it only needs to buy it back at the purchase price. ”
"Yes! Be! Master Jia wiped his sweat, he turned his head to the shopkeeper He and said: "He Yong, I am also a victim of this matter in your Yong'an Hall, and the official will not be held accountable for your deception." Regarding the compensation, you should go and negotiate with the Shenghong medicinal material caravan, if they don't pay, then you can come to the official again. ”
"Your Excellency!" Shopkeeper He shouted unwillingly.
"Huh?" Master Jia looked at him warningly. He already gave them Yong'an Tang's face very much when he sentenced him like this, but He Yong was not satisfied? Today, his face was big enough. Thinking of this, Lord Jia's expression became more and more displeased.
"Yes. Thank you, sir. Shopkeeper He gritted his teeth. I didn't expect that after making trouble for so long a day, he would actually make a bamboo basket to draw water, if this matter was passed back, I don't know how Heqinhou Mansion would deal with him.
"Your Excellency, what do you see?" Lord Jia was satisfied, turned his head and smiled at the man.
"Hmm." Man's jaw.
Xiao Yiran smiled slightly and saluted him: "The adults are fair, and the grass people are obedient!" ”
Although it is still a little cheaper to do this, it will be difficult for the shopkeeper in front of him to do it, but if it is too serious, it will be difficult for the Lord Jia in front of him. So, take a step back, and everyone rejoices.
"This is what this official should do, what he should do." Master Jia laughed dryly.
"Thank you, sir!" Shopkeeper Xue also bowed to him. Then a group of people said goodbye to him and left the yamen.
Xiao Hai was wandering anxiously outside at this time, and when he saw them coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Shopkeeper, son, are you okay?" ”
"It doesn't matter." The old shopkeeper was also very happy, he looked at the man and thanked him: "Thank you for your help!" ”
The man hurriedly got up to help him: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, he is just under the orders of the master." Do you want to be grateful, or thank this Xiao Gongzi next to you. ”
"This ......" Shopkeeper Xue was a little puzzled.
Xiao Hai explained with a smile: "Shopkeeper, just now Xiao Gongzi asked me to run errands to go to the Guogong Mansion to find Miss Murong for help, this is the Zhao steward sent by Miss Murong." ”
In fact, he was also taken aback when he heard that Xiao Yiran asked him to find someone in the Zhenguo Mansion. After all, the Zhenguo Mansion is known to everyone in the entire Li Kingdom, and this Xiao Gongzi in front of him has something to do with it, how can this not surprise them, ordinary people.
"Zhenguo Mansion?" Shopkeeper Xue was also shocked, he didn't expect that it would be the Zhenguo Mansion that helped them today. And the one who asked it to help was Xiao Gongzi, who had met them several times and even cured his eyes.
His eyes suddenly moistened, and he was about to kneel down in front of Xiao Yiran.
Xiao Yiran was taken aback and hurriedly stopped him: "Senior, what are you doing here?" ”
"Childe, great kindness, old decay is unforgettable!" After speaking, he also pulled Xiaohai and asked him to kneel down together.
Now it's on the street, there are already a lot of people around, and when they saw their move, many people came over in an instant, which made Xiao Yiran a little crying and laughing: "Senior, you get up first!" ”
Shopkeeper Xue also reacted, it was a little inappropriate to make this gesture now, he looked around and stood up a little embarrassed, but he kept saying some words of thanks in his mouth.
Steward Zhao watched all this quietly, and when they were almost finished, he stepped forward and asked, "Since the matter has been resolved, then I will go back to the house first." ”
Xiao Yiran nodded: "Today's matter is troublesome to Steward Zhao." ”
"It's all about what needs to be done." Steward Zhao hurriedly smiled: "When Miss left, I told Zai Xia that I must tell Xiao Gongzi to find her to play when I am free." "He is the old man of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Murong Yuan and Murong Liang have also grown up under his watch, so he is also happy to see that his young lady can make friends.
Thinking of Murong Liang's lively and delicate appearance when he said this, Xiao Yiran couldn't help but show a smile: "I will definitely go when I have time." ”
Afterwards, Steward Zhao said some goodbye to them and left.
Xiao Yiran and the three of them came to Baicao Hall, and as soon as they entered the door, Shopkeeper Xue had to kneel down again, Xiao Yiran suddenly had a headache: "Senior, you really don't need to be like this." I have a cooperative relationship with Baicaotang, so helping you is also helping myself! You've tormented me like this! ”
Although he had said many words of thanks along the way, Shopkeeper Xue felt that he didn't know how to repay Xiao Yiran. He didn't know that with Xiao Yiran's medical skills, her medicine would not be sold anywhere, and it could even be sold better than in their Baicao Hall. In saying this, it was only to comfort him.
He got up and said suddenly: "Old man still has a request, I don't know if Xiao Gongzi can agree?" ”
"You say!"
"I hope you can take over Baicaotang and become the new treasurer here."
This time it was not only Xiao Yizheng, but even Xiao Hai was shocked, but he didn't open his mouth to stop it.
Xiao Yiran hurriedly refused: "Senior, this Baicaotang is your life's work, how can it be handed over to me, an outsider?" That's not right. She shook her head.
For others, this is simply a pie in the sky, but Xiao Yiran actually doesn't want it! This made Shopkeeper Xue believe in her character even more, and his determination to hand over Baicaotang to her became more and more firm.
He sighed lightly: "Childe, don't be in a hurry to refuse, this matter has already been thought about on the way back, it is by no means impulsive, or purely for gratitude, I am actually doing this for the sake of Baicaotang." ”
For the sake of Baicaotang? Xiao Yiran was stunned.
