The next day, it was agreed to meet at the Baoning Teahouse.

Lin Zhuyun still covered his face with a white veil, and brought four or five strong little guys behind him.

When the man with the rat-eyed monkey cheeks saw it, he said first, "Girl, it's better to see your sincerity first." ”

Lin Zhuyun was secretly glad in his heart when he heard this, but fortunately he borrowed the silver in advance, otherwise he might have to have a bamboo basket to draw water today.

As soon as Bai Huahua's silver was taken out, his eyes immediately lit up, and he smiled like a rotten cauliflower.

Then he waved to the door, and the vendor in the market in front of him came over with a pile of wooden boxes, and when he opened it, he saw that it was still the apprenticeship of the Lin family.

Lin Zhuyun got up and made a color to the little guy behind him, Xiao Tang quickly put away the silver, and several little guys rushed forward to tie up the two of them, and they stuffed stinky cloth strips in their mouths, and they couldn't speak.

"Take it to the firewood room in the house and lock it up, so that no one can see it."

The two men whimpered and tried to break free, but to no avail.

Lin Zhuyun returned to the room and carefully looked at the few account books in his hand again, thought about it for a while, and called the little guy who went to follow him before.

"Xiao Song, you go to the jade carving workshop where the third brother is in charge outside the city and invite the previous manager, just say that the third sister-in-law invited him to come over as soon as possible, and bring all the remaining wooden boxes in the shop."

After a cup of tea, Lin Zhuyun felt that all the people and things were ready, so he invited Lin's father, Lin's mother, and her third brother and sister-in-law to the main hall.

Everyone sat in the hall and looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine this Miss Lin family was selling in the gourd today.

I saw Lin Zhuyun unhurriedly took out the account book, flipped out the marked number of pages for Master Lin to look at, and said:

"Daddy teaches his daughter to take care of things, but her daughter is not talented, and there are several things that I can't figure out."

Taking advantage of the time when Master Lin was checking, Lin Zhuyun said to her third brother and sister-in-law:

"Coincidentally, several places are records in the third brother's shop, so I invited my brother and sister-in-law to come, I hope I don't blame my sister for messing around."

That Xia Lian still looked affectionate, pinched Lin Zhuyun's cheek and said:

"You little girl, when will you be willing to learn to be in charge? Don't you want to learn the way of housekeeping to get married! ”

Lin Zhuyun lowered her head, pretended to be shy, and said, "The third sister-in-law is used to making fun of me!" ”

After Master Lin's account book was almost finished, she raised her head and said:

"My sister wants to ask the third brother, doesn't the jade carving workshop outside the third brother have an income from the processing of apprentices? Why is there no record in this ledger? ”

The third brother of the Lin family was speechless for a long time, and Xia Lian didn't dare to talk at will, for fear of being accidentally caught.

Seeing this, Lin Zhuyun continued to ask: "There is another place, I checked the third brother's shop this month and received a hundred packaging boxes from the accessories room, but only sold less than ten jade carvings, why is this?" ”

Master Lin's sharp gaze swept over the third brother of the Lin family, he pursed his lips and couldn't say a word, only cast a look of help at Xia Lian.

Lin Zhuyun sneered and said, "Presumably the third sister-in-law, you know better, why don't you talk about it." ”

Xia Lian was shocked now, she didn't expect that the little sister who had always been delicate would suddenly get into trouble, and she grabbed her pigtails as soon as she grabbed them.

But guessing that she only had the account books and no other evidence, she smiled as usual and said:

"I don't know much about this business, but I guess the box should still be in the shop, because my subordinates are lazy and want to get more at once."

Lin Zhuyun's face was calm, and he only said lightly: "It's possible to come, so my sister asked Chen Zhangshi over there to bring all the boxes over." Xiaotang, please come up quickly. ”

Xia Lian's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, but he still held on to the back of the chair and stood firmly.

When Chen came up, there were only a few wooden boxes in his hand, which were far from the number on the account book.

Master Lin asked, and his bean-sized beads of sweat kept falling, but he still couldn't answer the whereabouts of the remaining wooden boxes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Lian got up and said with a smile: "Master still don't have to embarrass this Chen Zhang, thinking that he is young, he must not be able to control his subordinates, so he dare not say it." ”

"And what do you say is the reason?"

"I guess the people below must have broken some of their hands and feet, and they lost some of them carelessly."

"That's the case with dozens of them?" Lin Zhuyun asked again.

"No matter how bad it is, there are people with unclean hands and feet who steal some, our big family, and it's not that the precious jade carving has been lost, and it's too mean to worry about this box with the people below. Madame, do you say? ”

Xia Lian's eyes burned and looked at Mother Lin, she knew that Mother Lin had always been kind and quite tolerant, so she wanted to find someone to help her from Mother Lin.

Seeing this, Lin Zhuyun didn't wait for her mother to answer, so she said directly: "The third sister-in-law doesn't have to explain in a hurry, there are two more people, I think they should be clear." Bring it on! ”

I saw that Chen Zhangshi and Xia Lian exchanged eyes, and Xia Lian knew that something was wrong.

The two jade vendors who were brought up had been beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen at the moment, and after they were brought up, they only grabbed Xia Lian's skirt and begged her to help.

That Xia Lian shook off the two people who were grabbing the hem of her skirt, and said in disgust: "Who are you?" What are you doing to climb me for no reason? Don't you want to empty your mouth and white teeth to slander people's innocence! ”

Lin Zhuyun looked at her third brother and sister-in-law, forcibly suppressed her disgust, and said:

"Since the third brother and sister-in-law can't say it, let's talk about it."

She sat down on a Taishi chair under Father Lin, facing everyone in the hall, and her apricot eyes revealed a coercive momentum.

"The third brother and three sisters-in-law colluded with outsiders and sent Chen Zhangshi to package the apprentice's study into Lin Ji's fine jade carvings and sell them to these two hawkers, and these two people resold them in the market, and you each shared a dividend, and now the witness testimony is there, can you recognize it?"

When it came to the end, Xia Lian still wanted to quibble: "Sister, don't look at the account book, after listening to the slanderous rumors of a few subordinates, you came to frame me and your brother, this is to be separated from brother and sister." You say that we sell apprenticeship to enrich ourselves, what physical evidence do you have? ”

Expecting that Xia Lian would not admit it easily, Lin Zhuyun sneered, and called Xiaotang to take out the jade carvings he had bought, all of which were packed in Lin Ji's wooden box one by one.

"These are the apprentice studies that disappeared from the third brother's jade carving workshop, and the quantity, variety, and style all match the account books everywhere, is it possible that you still want to quibble?"

Master Lin picked it up and looked at a few, and checked it with the places marked in the account book.

threw it into the hall, pointed at the third brother of the Lin family and wanted to scold, and finally shook his head and sighed.

Lin Zhuyun stroked Master Lin's back and gave the maid a cup of hot tea.

And continued:

"Presumably my silver is still in the third sister-in-law's courtyard, the silver was given to me by my mother from my dowry, not from Lingcheng Qianzhuang, and the surname Xu of my mother's family is engraved at the bottom. If the third sister-in-law still refuses to admit it, I will ask people to go to your room and search out all the silver taels to see if they are the ones my mother gave me. ”

Xia Lian finally couldn't speak, and collapsed in the chair with a very ugly face.

Lin Zhuyun glanced at them angrily, got up and said to Father Lin:

"They have a small matter of enriching their own pockets, and they have ruined the reputation of Lin Ji Jade Carving! Please also Daddy dispose of them! ”

Father Lin looked at his uncompetitive son and stupid and greedy daughter-in-law, sighed and said:

"The third is cowardly and incompetent, has no talent to manage things, and the third daughter-in-law colludes with outsiders to destroy the reputation of Lin Ji Jade Carving. The two were fined 20 sticks, and the ancestral hall was closed for a month, and all the shops and granges under his hands were recovered. ”

Lin Zhuyun listened to it and felt that he had been beaten and punished, and the two of them could only live on monthly silver in the future, and the punishment was not light.

After all, it is his father's biological son and his own brother, and after taking back the shop, the two should no longer be able to be demons.

"Yunyun..."Master Lin suddenly called Lin Zhuyun.

Everyone's eyes were on the two of them, waiting to see what Master Lin was going to say.

"Since you said that you want to learn to manage things, I think you are also in charge of this matter today, so let you take care of all the shops under your third brother."

Everyone in the hall, including where Lin Zhuyun was, showed surprise, Lin Zhuyun was only over seventeen years old, and he was not married, he was still a little girl, how could he manage so many shops and granges?

Xia Lian raised his neck and was about to make a rebuttal, but was suddenly pulled down by the third brother of the Lin family and slapped him.

"You foolish woman! If it weren't for the little sister who bought all the jade that flowed out, our Lin family's signboard would have been smashed here! ”

This slap was so loud that Xia Lian, who had always been high, was slapped so loudly that his ears roared at this moment, and he shrank aside and no longer dared to make a sound.

Master Lin is very clear in his heart, from the day of his death, Lin Zhuyun saw that Monk Chenchen was lying, and today he found that the third child's family is full of private pockets, and his little daughter is no longer the ignorant and ignorant delicate girl before, and he trusts her to do a good job.

It's been a long time, and the matter is finally over.

Lin Zhuyun, who was holding many keys and deed of ownership in his arms, fell on his big bed, and was stunned by this unexpected harvest.

When she counted to the fifth time, she grabbed Xiaotang and asked, "Xiaotang, do you think I am the richest girl in the entire mausoleum city now?" ”

Seeing that his girl was so cute, Xiaotang sneered and said with a smile: "Girl, I don't know if you are the richest, I only know that if you continue to count and don't sleep, you will be the darkest girl in the entire Lingcheng." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, what you said makes sense, you have to take care of your body to fight demons and monsters, help me freshen up, this girl is going to sleep."

A good night's sleep.

The early morning sun sprinkled in the courtyard of the Lin family, and the maids began to sprinkle and sweep up, and Xiaotang took a basin of clear well water into the back room.

In the house, Lin Zhuyun was reclining on the edge of the bed, her skin was whiter than snow, and a small arm exposed showed her slight plumpness, her hair was like silk, pouring like ink, taking advantage of her palm-sized little face to be white and red, very charming.

The green fingertips rubbed the apricot eyes, as if they hadn't woken up, but they were inadvertently seductive. Xiaotang used the well water to serve Lin Zhuyun to freshen up, and simply pulled up a single screw bun, which made her delicate and beautiful.

"Pay back!" Lin Zhuyun exclaimed.

Xiaotang was also taken aback: "What's wrong, Miss?" ”

"I've been counting my shop, and I forgot to repay the money I borrowed from General Kwong."
