At the end of the quarrel, the people standing in the huge study were divided into three factions.

One faction is all old and stubborn, advocating that the concubine inherit the family business, while the other faction has nothing to say and obeys the emperor's orders.

The last faction is Chengfeng alone, advocating that Miss Chen inherit the family business.

Yin Zhen looked a little impatient and said, "Okay, I'm upset about the noise." ”

Chengfeng said at this time: "I hope the emperor will decide." ”

Yin Zhen: "What everyone Aiqing said makes sense, but I think what Chengfeng said is good, and it is not impossible for a woman to inherit the family business, I sent someone to inquire, that Miss Chen was originally raised as a man, and it is naturally not bad in all aspects, I think that if she has the ability to take care of the family business, let her inherit the family business." ”

Chengfeng immediately said: "The emperor is sage." ”

At this time, some people are not happy.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this Miss Chen may not have the ability to take care of the family business, after all, this is not the same as learning to take care of the family business, and it is inconvenient for a woman to show her face, so it is naturally better for this business to be inherited by that concubine."

Riding the wind: "The minion feels ......"

Then there was another quarrel, and when the quarrel was almost over, Yin Zhen said: "Since this is the case, then let Miss Chen and that concubine have a competition." ”

The result of this competition is already doomed.

Yinzhen is the emperor, since he said so, naturally no one has any objections.

Everyone said: "The emperor is wise." ”

The competition is very simple, because of the limited time, it is impossible to give each shop a test to do business, not to compare with others, just look at the account book.

This Yinzhen also sent someone to inquire, Chen Yingjiao has followed her mother to take care of housework since she was a child, and the account book has been exposed to her since she was a child, plus she already has some talent, plus when she learned the new arithmetic, her mother also specially listened to her husband and taught her.

And needless to say, no one knew that he was Chen Xingyu's son before Chen Yingjiao's death, and his identity was already clear, so Chen Fu naturally wouldn't give him a chance to read the account book.

In addition, Chen Xingyu is not a smart person, otherwise he would not have been a poor talent, so his talent is just like that.

Besides, Chen Xingyu has always felt ashamed of his son, and before he achieved his goal, Chen Xingyu heard that his son was not comfortable in the house, so he specially bought a house.

Naturally, no one cares and no one asks, Chen Xingyu and his mother are very pampered, not to mention reading seriously, it would be good to be able to read the book honestly.

Chen Yingjiao and her cousin were soon "invited" over, and Yinzhen did not reveal their identities before this, and others would not take the initiative to tell them.

So Chen Yingjiao lived in a small courtyard, and was suddenly "invited" by someone from the yamen, and she was very puzzled.

There was a person in the small courtyard who kept Yinzhen, and the person told Chen Yingjiao not to worry.

Chen Yingjiao went with a worried heart, and she couldn't help but go, the yamen came to the door, she was an orphan girl, and she had no right to refuse.

The local county magistrate sat tremblingly at the top, Yinzhen sat next to him and listened, and some other officials were standing around.

Chen Yingjiao, a woman from a merchant family, naturally didn't have a chance to meet the local county master, but she could still recognize the official uniform.

Knowing that there was the county lord sitting at the top, she also recognized that the auditor was one of her life-saving benefactors, she could see that the county magistrate was sitting a little unstable, and now that no one reported to the official, this situation made her feel that the identity of the benefactor was unfathomable.

She is naturally happy in her heart, her benefactor is kind-hearted, and with his help, her mother's revenge can be avenged.

As for how to repay this kindness, this is something to consider in the future.

"The folk girl has seen the adult." Chen Yingjiao knelt on the ground and said.

Generally, when you enter the yamen, you have to kneel all the time, but now this is not an ordinary grievance, the county lord knows that there is the emperor sitting next to him, and he is really unstable when he sits. 186 Chinese Network

In addition, this Miss Chen family is beautiful and beautiful, he can't figure out what the emperor means, so in order not to offend people, he said: "Get up and talk back." ”

The county magistrate trembled and said: "There is one thing for Miss Chen to come over today for Miss Chen to do, your father Chen Xingyu's death of his wife has been decided, Chen Xingyu naturally deals with it in accordance with the law, but how to deal with the Chen family's family business is a problem." ”

Chen Yingjiao was a little anxious when she heard this, the Chen family's family business was her mother's dowry, and her mother had some talent in business, but her mother died, and the scumbag father was about to be disposed of.

She definitely doesn't want to give away what her mother left behind, this is what her mother left her, not only the foundation of her survival, but also a thought.

"My lord, I have to be the master of the people!"

The county magistrate has heard a lot of this, and there is no wave in his heart, but the emperor is sitting next to him! Naturally, he also wants to show that he loves the people like a son.

"Miss Chen, don't worry, as the parent official of Jinan, this official will naturally not let the people have grievances, but Miss Chen also has a brother, this official has an idea, Miss Chen might as well listen to it?"

Chen Yingjiao is quite smart, and with the benefactor sitting on it, she has a bottom in her heart.

"Folk girls can naturally trust adults."

The county magistrate was naturally happy to be trusted by such a flower-like person.

"That's the case, now there is only one brother left in the Chen Mansion, you have a competition with your brother-in-law, if you can win him, this business will be inherited by you, if you can't win, this business will be temporarily taken care of by your brother-in-law, what does Miss Chen think?"

Chen Yingjiao naturally didn't want to give up her family business to the enemy, but she didn't know what it was, and she wasn't particularly sure in her heart.

"What do you want to know?"

"Look at the ledger."

Looking at the ledger?

Chen Yingjiao listened to the words of the county master, but she had some confidence, of course, she had to do it if she didn't have confidence, she wouldn't give up the family business, besides, it was best to be able to take it home in person, if she couldn't take it home business, no one would dare to touch her for the time being, and when her uncle knew about her situation, she wouldn't be so passive.

"The folk girl is willing to give it a try."

At this time, Chen Yingjiao's cousin was also brought over.

Chen Lingjun also felt unlucky recently, he was going to become a serious young master of the Chen family, but just a few days after moving into the Chen Mansion, his father and mother were imprisoned, and he was also taken to the yamen immediately.

Although he is also a bastard, he is still the first time he has come back to this yamen, and as soon as he came in, he saw the county master sitting at the top, and a cold-faced Langjun sitting next to him, and the people standing around him were all people who seemed to be unprovoked.

Because he was too scared in his heart, he didn't see that it was his sister standing next to him, after all, in his impression, his sister was dead, and he saw his sister being knocked out with his own eyes.

Chen Lingjun trembled and knelt on the ground and said, "The grass people have seen adults. ”

The county master is also an official, and he can be a county master in such a rich place as Jinan, he is a person who can read people, and he compared the two sisters and brothers of the Chen family in his heart, and made a judgment, and felt that the concubine was really not on the stage.

I thought so in my heart, but I still let him get up, after all, Miss Chen didn't let him kneel all the time, and he had a bowl of water on his face!

After standing up, Chen Lingjun saw his sister on the side, his face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help but say, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

He said this in public, because he was afraid, and the voice was not small, and everyone heard it, that is to say, Chen Yingjiao was knocked unconscious and thrown into the river, regardless of whether Chen Lingjun participated or not, he knew about it.

The county magistrate's face was not very good: "In broad daylight, where did the ghost come from." ”

Only then did Chen Lingjun react, and he said the wrong thing in a hurry.

"Grass people make a mistake, a mistake of the tongue."

The county lord glanced at the emperor sitting next to him, Yin Zhen didn't say anything, and the county lord had to come according to the original plan.

The county magistrate explained the situation, Chen Lingjun naturally would not refuse, he refused not a penny of silver, he didn't think that the Chen family's huge family business was likely to come into his hands, wouldn't it be clear how to choose?
