Chapter 4: Disaster (5)

In August, whoever only uses one osmanthus tree in the courtyard can fill the courtyard with fragrance.

The Yan family was imprisoned because of Master Yan, and there was silence up and down. Mothers are no longer as in previous years, competing for the osmanthus on the osmanthus tree to make tea and make crisp. The engagement ceremony was canceled, and Qing Qian did not follow Yan Yezheng's instructions to leave home and go abroad. It's just that I'm busy with a few pharmacies all day long, and dredge up Yan Ye's relationship with him in prison.

He Shiyi came back from the military headquarters to Yan's house, and saw a group of people crowded outside the gate of Yan's house from a distance. Holding stacks of bills in his hand, he shouted something in his mouth, and the door of the Yan Mansion was closed.

"Hey, Major Ho." The sharp-eyed maid saw He Shiyi, as if he had seen a savior, and led him in through the back door.

"What happened?" He Shiyi thought of the situation outside the door of Yan's house and asked the maid lightly.

"These people are here to make trouble. My lord is such a good and good man. Now that they are in trouble, these people are all running to find a fault, they are really white-eyed wolves......" The maid looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he heard He Shiyi ask, he was full of anger and was completely excited.

After passing through the courtyard, you will arrive at the account room.

In the account room, the light was not very good, and Qing Qian and a few masters sat around. Under the dim light and shadow, I saw Qingqian's brows frowning slightly, listening intently to the master reporting the accounts, and He Shiyi and the maid did not notice when they came in.

From time to time, she nodded slightly, or whispered a word or two to ask something. He Shiyi stood by the door and looked at this picture quietly. In the past few days, Qingqian's calmness and self-control have made He Shiyi feel that he is a superfluous person.

Or childish as a child or calm as a decision-maker, this woman, how many postures have not been shown.

"Okay, then let's go out and meet the people outside!" Qing Qian picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. He stood up and walked out the door.

When he looked up, he met He Shiyi's gaze at him, with a little approval and a little pity.

"I'll go with you." He Shiyi grabbed Qing's shallow hand and smiled warmly.

Qing Qian was stunned for a moment, and did not refuse, but shook back. Now she needs support.

The heavy wooden door slowly opened, and the servants had prepared in advance, so that when they came out, they would not be too embarrassed. Qing Qian entered the crowd under the protection of He wet clothes.

"Everyone, be quiet, my young lady has something to say to you." Steward Li shouted at the crowd. Noisy crowd, a little quieter.

Qingqian gave a slight blessing to everyone.; "Hello uncles, my father is in prison, and you must already know it. Today, it is a long-term love for you to come to the house to collect the arrears. But Qingqian thought that his father was just framed, and he would be innocent in a few days. And the correspondence between the Yan family and you is a long-term friendship. As for the money that the Yan family owes to everyone, it will not be less ...... to everyone."

"Your father has entered the prison of the Ministry of Labor, you are a girl, I'm afraid you can't even read the account book clearly! Empty words. Who wouldn't ......" was a disdainful voice from the crowd.

"Yes! …… Oh, yes! "Someone next to me helped.

"I really don't look at the books. Otherwise, wouldn't it rob the jobs of these masters behind me? Yan Qingqian was not annoyed, smiled lightly, and looked at the person who spoke.

"The Yan family is only afraid that it is strong from the outside, and it is already an empty shell. You don't know what kind of business you will do. Pay back the money quickly, pay it back. "Someone else began to agitate.

"Our Yan family has been in Jinyuan for almost 20 years, and our father is a man, but it is the first time that he has been questioned. It's a coincidence that you're in such a hurry to ask for money, so you have to go to the counter tomorrow and get it. so as not to be dragged down. After speaking, Qing Qian paused, looked at the man, and swept the audience with a cold gaze.

"My Yan family is really not good at playing those conspiracies. If anyone present really needs the money urgently, they will go to the counter tomorrow and get it. It's just better not to be instigated by the villain. The uncles have not been in contact with their father for a year or two, and what they are doing in front of them is really chilling to his old man. ”

Most of these people who came to the door were instigated. After a shallow remark, I remembered the relationship with Yan Yezheng in the past, and I didn't feel ashamed.

After Qingqian finished speaking, Yingying Yifu was again, and he was carrying He Shiyi, preparing to enter the door. A familiar voice came, and he turned around lightly, and his heart didn't feel warm.

"With Master Yan's prestige in Jinyuan, what else are you worried about?" With a clear face, a horse coat and trousers, such a simple and casual dress. It doesn't look shabby when worn on Bian Shaoxian, but it has a handsome style.

Bian Shaoxian walked slowly towards Qingqian, with a smile on his eyebrows.

"It's the third young master of the Bian family." The crowd automatically moved out of the way.

Bian Shaoxian's sudden visit caused a slight commotion in the crowd, and whispers began. "The young master of the Bian family has come forward, it seems that the Yan family's business is not as rumored, the building will collapse!"

"You're back." Qing Qian looked at Bian Shaoxian, who was slowly approaching,

"I'm back." Bian Shaoxian's eyes swept over He Shiyi's shallow hand, and the smile on his face became brighter. Suddenly turned around and faced the crowd; "The Yan family and the Bian family have always been good friends, if any of you are really not at ease, I, Bian Shaoxian, can come forward to guarantee Miss Yan."

When the crowd heard this, they clapped their hands and made a commotion, and they all spontaneously dispersed. The instigator had no more instigation, so he had to leave in a hurry.

"Thank you." Qing Qian let go of He Shiyi's hand and approached Bian Shaoxian.

"Hehe, thank you? I can't do anything. "I haven't seen you in March, Bian Shaoxian has lost a lot of weight, put away his smiling face, Bian Shaoxian's face is rare and solemn;" I've heard about Uncle Yan's affairs, and if I can help, just ask. ”

"Hmm." Qing Qian nodded, and smiled astringently.

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

"Okay." Qingxiao knows his temperament, and he doesn't keep it.

Bian Shaoxian stopped and walked all the way towards the car parked next to him, and Qing Qianmu watched the car slowly leave along Qingpu Road.

Bian Shaoxian would suddenly run to relieve the siege, and leave in a hurry, which seemed to be a sudden gust of wind to Qing Qian. Fortunately, the wind is warm.

The crowd dispersed, and the outside of Yan's house was empty again. Two honest stone lions, in the same posture, crouched on the left and right of the gate, their eyes staring ahead. Looking back at the lintel, the word "Yan Zhai" is still vigorous and powerful, and the red primer is still bright. Under the gate, He Wet was standing in the wind, looking at it with a smile. Qingqian packed up his thoughts and walked slowly towards He Wet Clothes.

From beginning to end, He Shiyi didn't say a word, silently staring at the shallowness in front of him. She faced everyone almost alone, righteous words, cold eyebrows, and fearless. But her hands were so cold, and she clung to him so tightly.

No matter how brave you are, you're still a little scared!

"Miss, how can you say that? Let's ......" Kuang Bo, the elderly bookkeeper, followed Qingqian's side with an anxious face. The weather has slowly cooled, but a lot of fine sweat has appeared on the master's forehead.

"Uncle Kuang, don't worry, I have my own plans, please tell those two masters, you must keep your mouth shut." A shallow and calm command.

"These are all rest assured, they are all people who have followed the old man to the year. It's just ......" Kuang Bo is an old accountant who follows Yan Yezheng, and he knows the Yan family's recent situation better than others.

"The money in the account should be able to cope with the person who comes to withdraw the money tomorrow. Go ahead and get busy! Qing Qian interrupted what Kuang Bo was about to say, and stepped over the gate to the courtyard.

Kuang Bo looked at Qing Qian's slightly tired appearance, and could only hold back his words of persuasion.

In the afternoon, someone suddenly came to the door to make trouble, and Qingqian was unexpected. After understanding the situation, I hurriedly found the bookkeeper to check the accounts. After a little liquidation, Qingqian's heart was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the pharmacy business has been so bleak in recent years. The basic difference is flat, and there is no profit. My father was only relying on his savings for many years to maintain his business, and in this case, he still had several large expenses for unknown purposes. In this way, the Yan family is indeed as rumored by the outside world, 'strong on the outside and dry in the middle'. However, it is still possible to cash in some payments. Qing Qian knew Kuang Bo's worries, and was afraid that if he cashed in the payment, he would have no remaining silver to do business. But for today's plan, as long as the payment is paid first, as for the rest, you can only find a way, and Qing Qian plans to do so.

Just now, He Shiyi saw that they had something to talk about, so he had already gone to the hall to wait.

"Why did this hour come?" I was in a hurry just now and didn't pay attention to the sky. Qing Qian only found out at this moment that He Wet Clothes should be working in the military department at this hour.

"Come back and see." He wet clothes wrapped around the shallow body and circled it into his arms.

"I ...... I may have to go out on business for a while. He Shiyi's chin was resting on the top of Qingqian's head, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Hmm." Yan Qingqian was so clever, but he didn't expect the military department to move so quickly.

"That's fine." Qing Qian thought of the people outside the door just now, and couldn't help blurting out.

"What?" He Shiyi loosened his shallow clothes and stared at the person in front of him.

"Oh, nothing." Qingqian knew that he had lost his mouth, so he pretended to be natural and went to get the tea that the maid on the table had just delivered.

"What did you just say?" He Shiyi seemed to have fallen under a spell, and grabbed Qingqian's hand alive. The ceramic teapot shook slightly, and the hot tea in the pot spilled out. splashed on Qing Qian and his hands, and Qing Qian's hands were wet and red in an instant.

"What do you mean by "it's okay like this", Yan Qingqian, tell me, what do you mean? He Shiyi didn't seem to see it, and he didn't let go of his shallow hand.

His hands were straining, but there was a cold smile on his face.
