Bai Zhu turned his head to get busy, and when Lin Huiru confirmed that there was no problem with the regulations that needed to be filed with the government, he casually flipped through the account book next to him, and he didn't know if he didn't know it, but it caught her attention at a glance.

Zhou Man'er actually came to borrow a hundred taels of silver a few days ago, and she didn't know what it was. In fact, Lin Huiru gave Zhou Man'er a lot of silver, after all, she has a good background, plus she learns things quickly, which helped her a lot, and she definitely didn't drop the chain at the critical moment, so the monthly money is a total of forty taels.

It has been said that several months have passed, and it should be possible to save some of it, and it is very likely that something is wrong with the sudden borrowing of such a large sum of silver.

In addition, the mortgage was a jade pendant that Lin Huiru could often see Zhou Man'er carrying, so she had doubts in her heart, packed up her things and went to the shop. But unfortunately, Zhou Man'er actually got sick today, so Lin Huiru could only rush to the staff dormitory she had prepared before dark.

The courtyard was pitch black, Lin Huiru felt the darkness and entered Zhou Man'er's room, there was only a dim lamp lit in the room, and a faint cough sounded from time to time, which made her heart feel uncomfortable.

Lin Huiru walked quickly to the bed, at this time Zhou Man'er's face was pale and her eyes were closed, she looked very painful, and there was still a little cold sweat on her forehead.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you grab medicine when you're sick, and don't you come to tell me? Lin Huiru was a little angry, she reached out and probed Zhou Man'er's forehead, and the extremely high body temperature made her hand can't help but shrink.

Zhou Man'er opened her eyes with some difficulty, and said weakly, "Why are you here...... I'm fine, just get some sleep, ahem..."

Looking at her high fever, Lin Huiru couldn't help but be glad that she had gone here today. After all, the medical conditions in ancient times were really difficult to compliment, and if they were not good, they might directly kill people. I'm afraid it's too late to ask for a doctor now, so she can only let Baizhu boil hot water and take the spare antipyretic medicine herself.

"How long have you been like this?" Lin Huiru sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhou Man'er, whose cheeks were flushed, and asked.

"It's only two days..."Zhou Man'er lowered her head, her voice a little ethereal.

Lin Huiru reluctantly wrapped the quilt for her, "Tell me the truth, what happened recently, I happened to go to the business bank today to check the accounts and saw that you went to borrow money, if there is anything that can't be told to me directly, if I don't think something is wrong, your high fever can burn you stupid." ”

"You know it all... I didn't want to trouble you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't accept it when I returned it to you. Zhou Man'er forced Lin Huiru to laugh embarrassedly.

"Okay, I'm sure I want the silver you give, you tell me what's going on, why do you need so much silver when you're sick?" With intuition, Lin Huiru continued to ask.

Zhou Man'er didn't hide it from her about this matter, "Recently, my father wrote to me, saying that the family's business was sluggish, there was a big problem, and he wanted to borrow a little silver from me, so I helped borrow some and waited for it to be repaid slowly in the future." ”

"The county I remember now supports loans, why didn't he go himself? It's only a hundred taels, and if you use the mansion as a mortgage, it's enough for a few hundred taels. Lin Huiru frowned, she always felt that this matter was not so simple, she and Zhou Man'er were sisters again, and this matter could not be hastily left like this.

Zhou Man'er sketched a wry smile, she wiped her tears, "Sister Xiaoru, I really don't know what to do." Now the family business is sluggish, my father forced me to go back to marry, this time it is not the same as before, but a person from the neighboring village, much older than me, if I marry in the past, it will only be a concubine, but he said that he wants to give my father a way, so my father will force me to go back, I don't want to go back can only lend him silver...... Can ......"

"Okay, you don't have to say it anymore, don't worry, I won't let you marry someone you don't like. Besides, how can a father have his own problems to be responsible for his daughter. Don't worry, no matter how much money you give to your family in this matter, I won't let you go back. And can that man have as much money as I am? I'm one of the best businessmen now, and it's better to follow me than to marry a rich man? Lin Huiru rubbed the top of Zhou Man'er's hair and said softly.

Zhou Man'er's eyes turned red again, "Thank you Sister Xiaoru, but you can't be responsible for my business, and I can't marry you, if my father really needs me, I ......"

"Don't say such irresponsible words, what will I do without you here, it's a big deal that I'll give you a raise. You let you go, and I'll help you find out what's wrong with your family when I go back today, and the person your father asked you to marry, which can be solved, and the problem doesn't need to be compensated for a daughter. Okay, I'll leave the medicine here for you, take one pill after you get up tomorrow, maybe you can get better the day after tomorrow, it's not early, I'll go first. It just so happened that Baizhu cooked porridge and entered the door, Lin Huiru estimated the time, got up, patted his clothes, and left.

Today is the day when Xu Ziqiao went to Chunfeng Building to inquire about the news, and she doesn't know if things are going smoothly or not, so she has to go back and take a look.

Baizhu knew what Lin Huiru was worried about, and after helping Zhou Man'er cover the door, he also chased him out neatly, and the coachman quickly whipped up, and soon returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When they went back, Xu Ziqiao had just gone back, and as Lin Hui expected, Xu Ziqiao had a very strong fragrance on his body, and there was a smell of wine on his body, and the whole person looked a little unclear. As soon as he saw Lin Huiru, Xu Ziqiao pressed over and hugged her tightly.

Lin Huiru's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot, "What's going on." ”

"It's not what you think, let's go back, I'll talk about today's events slowly." Bai Qianyi stepped forward to help pull Xu Ziqiao up.

However, Xu Ziqiao hugged Lin Huiru harder, "Xiaoru..."

Listening to the subtle words in his mouth, Lin Huiru hooked the corners of his mouth, "I'm not Xiaoru, you hugged the wrong person." ”

"You are my Xiaoru, you are the smell of Xiaoru, don't lie to me, my head hurts." Xu Ziqiao's voice was a little subtle, and it sounded like he was uncomfortable after drinking too much.

Lin Huiru patted him on the back helplessly, "Are you a dog?" Okay, let's go into the house, Baizhu, I'm sorry to go cook the decanting soup. ”

"No, I'm going to drink what you cooked, and I cooked it when you're drunk." Xu Ziqiao's current nonsense made Lin Huiru sure that he was drunk, otherwise Xu Ziqiao usually spoke in such a tone that could give people goosebumps.

"Okay, okay, I'll cook it for you, I'm going to be crushed to death by you, can you go back to the house first?" Lin Huiru could only coax Xu Ziqiao to go back to the room first in a tone like coaxing a child.
