The low pressure of the Bofu for the past six or seven days has permeated the entire Anchangbo Mansion, since the last time there was a big disturbance in the market, now those poor sour sellers do not supply to the Anchangbo Mansion, it is really unreasonable, the entire Anchangbo Mansion has to cut back on food and clothing, because there are not many Zhuangzi in the Anchangbo Mansion, and the output is limited.

Therefore, God now urgently needs to use silver money, and after having the silver money, he will donate a petty official to his three sons to do, although the reputation of this Bofu in Kyoto is not very good, but it can still deter one party in other places.

This Kyoto has become more and more unstable, maybe after going out, it can still revive the prestige of Anchangbo's mansion, the old lady of Anchangbo's mansion is walking and stopping in the study, and the old lady's problem of turning in circles is the same, it is worthy of a family, and it is a virtue.

The old lady Diao Hao said to the little guy outside the door: "Go and call the uncle over to me." ”

The little guy took the order and left, and after a while, he came in and said, "Dad, you have something to do with me?" ”

The old lady said, "Insulting, that kid is like this?" Is the fever gone? Where has this child grown up so frightened, this illness is really urgent, our uncle will not rely on the inheritance of this child in the future, it is really sad for the old man. ”

Diao vented his sorrow and said, "Dad, don't worry, the fever has subsided, no longer talking nonsense, I was able to eat yesterday, but it's not the same as before?" ”

"Oh? Where would it be different? This kid is worrying all day long, this time you go to the shop tomorrow, and take out all the money that can be operated, our Diao family needs to deal with this reputation, and it is not impossible for our family to go to other places to develop. The old lady Diao Hao's tone was a little heavy.

"What? Why did Dad go to another country? Isn't it good for our family to be in Kyoto, how difficult it is to start from the heart when we go to other places, and besides, there are so many old and young people in these rooms, so we can't leave all at once. ”

As soon as he remembered that he had gone to another place, his life fell into dire straits, and he was uncomfortable, lest he have to let himself go to the field, and the concubines around him could not bring anything over, so he could only leave himself to suffer in the field, and the two younger brothers enjoyed happiness in the house.

The old lady glanced at the eldest son, this son is good everywhere, but this courage is a little worse, and said in a eloquent voice, "This matter is just an idea for the time being, my father is thinking of donating some officials to you and your two younger brothers, even if the official position is not big, but it is also an official of the imperial court, and it is better than our family's reputation of relying on women to support us now, isn't it?" ”

Diao Chu glanced at his father a little stunned, he didn't expect his father to say this to him, Diao Chu was really at a loss at the moment, as if he didn't know his father, Diao Chu said, "Dad, I offended my aunt's Aunt Cai that day, my son heard that my aunt has also made an old mistake these days, I don't know if I was angry, Dad, you said that your son needs to go to his aunt to say and say and go, after all, he is still young and ignorant, and he is not intentional when his words collide, so it is not good for our two families to stalemate, right?" ”

As soon as God Diao Hao mentioned this problem, he was a little excited and said, "Don't go for the time being, your aunt likes a sad spring and autumn if she is fine, and now that there is this problem, I don't know if she is really sick or pretending to be sick, to avoid our family's affairs, let's not go over to be an eyesore, what this child said is also right, the reputation of so many men in our family who have to rely on women to support is really ugly, since the reputation of Kyoto is difficult to come back, our family can go to other places, isn't it?" ”

Diao Chu still wanted to persuade him, but seeing that his father was reluctant to talk about it anymore, he didn't say much, so he just said pertinently, "Dad, my aunt has been really good to our house over the years, and my sister Diao Nan has also been taken care of by my aunt in the palace, so it's best not to offend my aunt at the moment, and try to get along as well as possible." ”

The old lady said, "Hmph, get along well, how to get along, your aunt is now thinking bigger, and she no longer cares about her mother's family, there is such a big thing, she doesn't even look at it, especially one or two silver has not been sent, this is to starve our uncle's house, it's okay, we are not afraid, you will go to the shop tomorrow to pay back all the silver, this family does not rely on your aunt, we are the same." ”

Diao had no choice but to respond, seeing that his father was angry, he didn't speak, and soon walked out of the study, relieved, after so many years of my aunt's help, why is there no shadow on this bone, it's really wondering!

And Diao Yan in the pink courtyard just woke up, looking at the night outside the window, thinking about the breath he has been holding for the past few days, if he can't get better quickly, he can't be in such a lingering sickbed, Brother Hong's things must be done, and he is so useless and sick, I don't know if Brother Hong is not trustworthy.

Diao Tan opened a small cabinet at the head of his bed, which contained 30,000 taels of silver tickets, which could be saved at a critical time, but now Diao Tan is ready to use these as his starting capital, and then take a big gamble in one go, I don't believe that it is not enough to eat in An Changbo Mansion for several lifetimes, so Diao Tan took off a jade pendant on his body and said, "Fruit, you come here, you go to the gambling house now, find Brother Hong, give him this jade pendant, he will give you a box, you go back quickly!" ”

Guozi looked at the young master's pale face, and there was an abnormal fever that only turned red, Guozi took the jade pendant and hurriedly left the house to do the things that the young master explained.

Diao Yan said to the pink bed tent on the bed, "Auntie, I must let you see, without relying on you, our uncle can live very well, and no one will say that this master is raised by a little woman, this time it will definitely not, you all wait for this master." ”

After an hour, Guozi came back and handed Diao Tan a purple-red locked, and Diao Yan said, "Go down, and I'll rest for a while." ”

The fruit went down very obediently, Diao Yan took out a small key from his neck, opened the box given by the red brother, looked at a large number of keys inside, and at night Diao Yan took advantage of people's inattention, secretly slipped out with the fruit, and walked through the treasury in the house, and even laughed, this gambling book is enough, Diao Yan's eyes appeared like a wolf, and now it is enough for the master to make a fortune.

You can win 30,000 taels in one night, if these things can be added again, I'm afraid there will be 300,000 taels in one night, which is enough for Bofu's expenses for several years, this idea is absolutely good!

It's a pity that Diao Yan, a stupid child, forgot, who said that people who have gambled can make a fortune, is pure nonsense, nine out of ten bets are lost, it is doomed.

Early in the morning of the second day, the uncle of Anchangbo's Mansion took the little guy to a few shops in Anchangbo's Mansion in a hurry, but a few shops turned down but a little stupid, why, a few shops not only have no money, not to mention, there are tens of thousands of silver on the books, but the actual silver is only a few taels, one hundred and fifty shops of silver?

The uncle of Anchangbo Mansion is getting more and more popular, hurry up and take the little guy to check it quickly, and pray in his heart not to be what he thinks, of course, he still has a number in his heart, this is just a few shops, and it is normal to have no money.

Therefore, with great confidence, the uncle of Anchangbo Mansion continued to inspect, but the more he went, the more unsmooth it became, there were too many people in this shop, and many were outrageous.

There are many people, so naturally they blame each other, it is his serious uncle who comes, these people get up to greet each other, some people are still lazy and procrastinating, and many of them don't know where to go, and the figures are gone, but you can imagine how this usually works as a grandfather in the shop!

Diao Chu was very dissatisfied, his face was very stinky, and the little girl chestnut next to Diao Chu said, "Uncle, don't be angry, these are the people of the second master and the third master, and it is not a day or two in the shop, for the sake of these slaves, you are angry with the master, and your body is not worth it!" ”

The little guy chestnut was carefully observing the uncle's expression, and he was secretly proud in his heart, these shopkeepers and stewards, showing off their martial arts on weekdays, drinking five and drinking six, and even he, the little guy next to the uncle, didn't pay attention to it, it was simply unreasonable, when would this son wait if he didn't fan the flames!

Diao Chu didn't pay attention to Dao Lizi's expression and eyes, but kept calculating in his heart, so many people are indeed not good in the shop, the important thing is that these people are people who eat and don't work.

There are still more relatives of the second and third brothers, and there are also a lot of accompanying rooms for the two younger siblings.

After so many years, Diao Chu knows best in his heart, although his father and aunt are a little unhappy, but Diao Chu thinks that his father is really not smart, don't care about any reputation, as long as there is silver, won't it?

My aunt is still so generous, and now the big treasury in the house and the small treasury of my father and mother are basically the things that my aunt sent from the palace, and these are enough for the descendants of An Changbo Mansion to live for a few lifetimes.

Of course, Daddy is really slamming the door, and those things are never touched by them, and they don't know what to do with them?

Diao's eyes darkened, and now the Bofu can't support so many people, and when he returns to the house with the silver, he must mention this matter to his father.

Thinking of this, the uncle of An Changbo's Mansion said to Lizi, "Let's go, let's finish our work and hurry back to the house." ”

Chestnut was very happy in his heart, and when he looked at the uncle's expression, he knew that someone was going to be unlucky, so he followed Diao to the following shops.

But the further down he went, the more frightened he became, the truth of each shop was already very unoptimistic, and the uncle of Anchangbo Mansion felt that his back was going to be soaked.

Now that he has reached the thirtieth shop, he has received less than two pieces of silver, which is more than 30 shops, and the total amount of silver is less than five taels of silver, where is the silver?

The uncle of Anchangbo Mansion felt that his legs and feet were a little weak, and he was a little afraid to face the reality in front of him, so he called a lot of stewards to ask what was going on during the next inspection?

Most of the stewards of all the shops said that because of the affairs of the Bofu these days, the reputation of the shops has been stinky, resulting in bad business.

I agree with this point, after all, the things that day were too big, Diao Yan, this kid is also a careless person, in the already embarrassed situation, it made matters worse, this bastard boy, thinking of his unsuccessful days, Diao Chu had a terrible headache.

Immediately afterwards, some of the stewards replied, "Uncle, there is really no silver on this counter, you see that the account books are all here, and there are still many troublemakers who affect the business." ”

After these stewards finished speaking, Diao Chu was silent, and the stewards stood up in a proper manner, and Diao Chu pointed to one of the stewards and said, "The steward of the twenty-second store, why don't you say there is no silver?" ”

Twenty-two stores are a very good cloth village, and the income in the past is very large, and there are so many shops.

The steward of the twenty-two stores said, "Uncle, I am just a second steward, there are more than 20 people in this shop, of which fifteen are stewards, and they are all relatives of the second and third rooms, the business of this cloth village is not bad, but since Kyoto has Shuiyun Cloth Village, the business of our shop has declined sharply, and there is an important reason, that is, these dozen stewards have said that they have entered the goods of their acquaintances, and as a result, there are bad goods in the purchase, which has led to the return of customers to the door, which has affected a lot of business. ”

This second steward didn't dare to say much, so far, he has really neglected the management of the shop for a while, and the most profitable shops have all done such things, and he can't take care of the interests of An Changbo Mansion for personal gain.

This matter has set off a storm in Diao Xuan's heart, and if it goes on like this, Anchangbo Mansion will really be over! Could it be that when the time comes, I will go to a poor place to be a local petty official? It's still a place with no oil and water.

When the time comes, I will have to donate money to keep myself in it, Diao Chu thinks about his scalp numbness, if it is really that kind of day, it is really not a person's life, in the final analysis, it is the reason for the silver, Diao Chu is really angry, these people don't give some color to see if they really opened a dyeing shop!

Diao vented his anger and didn't care about these stewards, so he threw his sleeves away, these stewards looked at each other, I don't know what kind of wind this uncle smoked today, he didn't say a few words, he didn't scold a few words, just walked away, what does it mean? Some of the stewards with strong hands and feet are not calm.

And Diao Ji continued to inspect, and when he reached the ninetieth shop, he only received thirteen taels of silver, which was simply an unusual thing.

Chestnut looked at his uncle's forehead sweating, and quickly wiped the sweat with his sleeve to the uncle, but was blocked by Diao Chu and scolded, "Presumptuous, what kind of clothes are you, I haven't washed it for a few days, and I dare to greet the master's face, I really don't dislike dirty, retreat!" ”

The chestnut's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and he simply followed behind, not in front, and now the uncle's temper is really not very good, so it's better to provoke less!

At this moment, Diao Chu's heart is like there are one hundred and eighty buckets up and down, and the sweat on his head is getting more and more, and the actual situation of the shop now is beyond Diao's expectations.

If he patrolled the last 150 shops and didn't even have enough silver for a few hundred taels of silver, wouldn't that be equivalent to returning empty-handed?

How is he going to explain? Could it be that he told his father directly, saying that the silver of one hundred and fifty shops had long been gone? What will happen if there is no silver in the future of Anchangbo Mansion?

Diao Chu really felt that the problem was big at this time, and quickly walked through all the 150 large and small shops, which was much worse than the expected hundreds of taels of silver, a total of only 46 taels of silver, and the uncle of Anchangbo Mansion put the 40 taels of silver on the table, and his face was very stinky!
