Qin Wan paused, as early as that day when Liu Feng saw through her game, she knew that the county lord of Qinghe was determined to be with him, but she didn't expect that she would get married so soon.

"Although Liu Zichu has few achievements in the Chamber of Commerce, if he climbs to the Yingwu Hou Mansion, it is not the right door, how could Yingwu Hou agree to this marriage so quickly?"

"My aunt's cousin's second aunt's nephew was on an errand in Yingwu Houfu, and I heard him say that the county lord of Qinghe had been on a hunger strike with Yingwu Hou for several days, and finally he was able to hang himself. Seeing that his daughter was guilty of this, he would definitely relent. ”

"Oh, I see, this Qinghe County Lord is really affectionate to that Liu Zichu."

On the second floor, Lin Bai didn't know when he had come out of the room, he stood at the railing on the second floor, quietly looking at Qin Wan, who had stopped because of gossip, thoughtfully.

After Qin Wan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she took advantage of Rong's absence and went to Yangliu Courtyard to find Qin Zhaoyue.

After this period of conditioning, Qin Zhaoyue's complexion has improved a lot, and when Qin Wan went to see her, she was sitting at the table painting.

Seeing Qin Wanlai put down the paintbrush and beckoned her to sit down with a smile, and asked some questions about Qin Zhaoyue's physical condition, Qin Bang asked, "Does the eldest sister know that the county master and Liu Zichu are married?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Zhaoyue frowned, "I heard that the marriage was scheduled for the tenth day of the next month, and I persuaded her again, but she didn't listen." ”

Qin Wan comforted: "Since the county lord has already made a choice, it is useless for anyone to say, whether the life is good or bad after marriage is the matter of the husband and wife, and with Yingwu waiting, Liu Zichu should be good to the county lord." ”

Qin Zhaoyue sighed: "I hope the county lord has found a good home and can join hands with Baitou." ”

The following days passed without panic, after Qin Wan went to boudoir school in the morning, he went to Lin's house to find Lin Bai in the afternoon.

Every day when she went to Lin's house, what Lin Bai asked her to do was to look at the account books of various stores.

At first, when Lin Bai asked her to look at the account book, she was surprised, you must know that the account books will not be easily shown to outsiders, but seeing that Lin Bai looked indifferent, she said without raising her head: "After reading it, tell me the result." ”

Every account book of the Lin family, every money in and out is remembered very clearly, and the list can be seen clearly at a glance, when Wang Chuyun was Wang Chuyun, she used to naively think that the account book of her store was already very concise and easy to understand, but when she saw the Lin family's bookkeeping, she really understood what it was outside the sky, there were people outside the sky.

After watching it for a few days, I really didn't understand what Lin Bai asked her to see in the account book.

The Lin family's business involves a wide range of things, among which the pharmacy and the cloth village are the most profitable, the monthly sales are almost at the forefront, Yanjing City comes in the prevailing health care wind, those noble families, drink some supplements to strengthen the body without illness, and drink some medicinal materials to get rid of illness when sick.

The second is porcelain, restaurants, teahouses and the like.

In addition, the Lin family also opened several pawnshops, but the income of the pawnshops was not very prosperous, except for the two on Ansheng Road to earn some money every month, the rest were in a state of loss.

Thinking, thinking, Qin Wan seemed to have figured out something.

On this day, after getting out of boudoir school, Qin Wan did not go to Lin's house to find Lin Bai, but went to a teahouse on Qingyin Street, asked for a room by the window on the second floor, and then asked Su Xiang to dress up in disguise, and went to the pawnshop to pawn the hairpin that was still expensive.

Sometimes the right position can see everything clearly, and the room that Qin Wan wants happens to be able to see everything in the pawnshop diagonally opposite.

And that pawnshop is the pawnshop where the Lin family has the most serious losses.

Although Qingyin Road is not as prosperous as Ansheng Road, it is also full of rich people, and there is a constant flow of customers, even if the business is sluggish, it will not be so serious.

And judging from the observation of this moment, the flow of people going to the pawnshop is okay.

After a cup of tea, Su Xiang came back and said, "Second Miss, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop only gave two taels of silver." ”

Qin Wan said: "Two or two is two or two, it doesn't matter." ”

For a few days in a row, Su Xiang asked someone to go to the pawnshop to make the precious things he had on hand, and a few days later, he went to Lin's house to find Lin Bai.

She looked at the pawnshop's ledger and discovered the source.

Qin Wan showed the account book to Lin Bai: "This hairpin was only two taels of silver at that time, but twenty taels were recorded in the account book, which is ten times more. ”

Lin Bai raised his head abruptly, looked at Qin Wan and asked, "You are the one who took this hairpin?" ”

Qin Wan nodded: "In the past few days, I have been secretly observing this shop, and I found that its customer flow is no worse than the rest, and it should not be a deficit every month, so I found someone to be something, not only this hairpin, but also the rest, although they are all worthless things, and the money has never exceeded two taels of silver, but all the accounts recorded are ten times more than their real silver." Whose pocket is the tenfold price difference? ”

Lin Bai's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he smiled: "You mean, someone is filling their pockets?" After a slight pause, he added: "The shopkeeper of that pawnshop is my third uncle." ”

Qin Wan was slightly stunned and did not speak again.

Lin Bai didn't ask again, in fact, he had already discovered that there was a problem with this pawnshop, and asked Qin Wan to look at the account books to see if she could find the problem from these flawless account books.

It was obvious that Qin Wan had found it.

Lin Bai stood up and said, "It's okay today, go out for a walk with me." ”

The two came to a restaurant together and asked for a few stacks of vegetables, Qin Wan didn't understand Lin Bai's move, after knowing that there was a problem with the pawnshop, he could still eat with her like this.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a voice from the bottom: "The shopkeeper, one room." ”

The two of them were originally sitting by the window, and the familiar voice outside came into the eardrums, Qin Wan was stunned, stood up and walked to the window to look down.

In the bustling crowd below, she didn't see the figure she wanted to see.

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Wan shook his head, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "It's nothing." ”

Although she said that it was nothing, it was really difficult to calm down in her heart, and the voice was too familiar to her.

Because it was the voice of her own sister, Wang Chuyun.

But Wang Chuyun is far away in Shengjing City, how could he come to Yanjing City?

Maybe I heard it wrong, so I thought about it too much.

Qin Wan threw these away and didn't think about it again.

The sun was setting, Lin Bai sat alone in front of the candlelight, looking at a pink sachet in his hand, as if time was passing, returning to the once immature world, his father took a little girl by the hand, walked forward with a smile and rubbed his hair, "Xiaobai, this is your future daughter-in-law, beautiful......"

There was a sudden knock on the door, pulling his thoughts back, he carefully put the sachet in his hand into the delicate box in front of him, locked it, and said, "Come in." ”

A servant from the Lin Mansion walked in, followed by a man dressed as a monk, holding a clay bowl in one hand and a cane in the other.

Lin Bai hurriedly stood up, walked over and said respectfully, "Master Guangyuan." ”

Master Guangyuan bent down to return the salute.

The little servant quietly retreated and closed the door, only the two of them were left in the room, the two sat opposite each other, Lin Bai said: "I heard that Master Guangyuan recently traveled through Yanjing City, I took the liberty to disturb and invite the master into the house, I really have something to ask the Buddha." ”

Master Guangyuan said to Amitabha: "The Buddha has a good relationship, and the emphasis is on a fate, since the Buddha guided the old man to come here to see the donor, the donor and the Buddha are fateful." ”

Lin Bai said: "Have you ever heard of borrowing a corpse to return the soul?" ”
