After receiving the package, the shopkeeper looked at Jiang Xianxu, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Lin Ji, do you still want to cooperate with their three masters?" They were seized of power by Master Lin in front of them, and they were severely punished, and only a few days after the grounding was lifted, they hurriedly found someone to send a message yesterday. ”

Jiang Xianxu thought for a moment and said: "Take advantage of the fact that they continue to press them now, they now have no shop in their hands, and those who have no power or money must be as anxious as being cooked in hot oil. ”

"Yes, the prince is very thoughtful, I'll do it."

The third sister-in-law of the Lin family, who had just been released from the ancestral hall, was really as anxious as an ant on a hot pot these days, and her mouth was full of bubbles on the fire.

Finally, on this day, her grandmother quietly handed a letter to her: "Madam, this is what the people of Yuhefang quietly gave me in the market. ”

Xia Lian hurriedly opened the envelope, and after reading it carefully, he kept thinking about what to do in the room.

The third brother of the Lin family was dizzy, and said, "Can you stop wandering around!" I'm dizzy when I see it! ”

Xia Lian was so worried because he didn't have the right to manage the shop, and he only had a monthly amount of silver to live on, and he was even more angry when he heard that he was still losing his temper with her.

crossed his waist and smacked the third brother of the Lin family: "Phew, you stay at home every day, you don't calculate at all, it's all my mother, I'm busy planning how to get the shop back, how to make more money." Now that you're still making things difficult for your mother, who gave you the bear's heart and leopard gall? ”

The third brother of the Lin family was also furious in his heart at this moment, stood up suddenly, pointed at Xia Lian and scolded:

"Blame who? It's not that you're not a person who swallows elephants, originally we could live comfortably in those shops on the outskirts of the city, you have to secretly take out the apprentices' work and sell it, even if you sell it, you can't even do the account cleanly, and you don't leave a cent to the middle kilometer, so that the little sister can see the clues, which leads us to live on the meager monthly silver, what do you want? ”

Xia Lian knew that he was wrong, and his face was slightly sneering, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "Aren't I already thinking of a remedy?" Would you like to listen to me? ”

The third brother of the Lin family blew his beard and said angrily: "Say, what else do you have to do?" ”

Xia Lian sat on a Taishi chair next to him and whispered:

"As I told you earlier, the shopkeeper of Yuhefang and I are fellow villagers, although their shop has average jade carving skills, but their horse gang is very powerful, and there is always a source of the best jade raw materials for water, and what they can't use up is directly taken to the market to sell to other shops."

The third brother of the Lin family squinted his eyes: "What does this have to do with us?" ”

"Husband, listen to me. I originally wanted to make more silver taels, when we bought all the materials with them, first hoarded, and when the eldest brother's horse gang arrived, we did not carve or sell the jade raw materials he found, so we hoarded it for a season, and when the small shops without horses had no raw materials in their hands, and the demand for jade carving in various places was also high, we sold it at a high price, so that we could not only save us time and effort to let the master carve, but also make a lot of money, isn't it beautiful? ”

After hearing this, the third brother of the Lin family felt that his wife was really a shrewd mind, and the anger in his heart calmed down a little, but he thought for a while and said: "That Yuhefang has always regarded Lin Ji as its biggest competitor, and every day he thinks about how to take away the channel of our royal family's special supply, and they will be willing to sell us that large amount of good material?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Lian took out the letter from his arms: "Look for yourself, the shopkeeper has already written to me with his own hands, he reads that he is a fellow villager with me, and I begged him for so long before I agreed." ”

The third brother of the Lin family took the letter, and after reading it carefully, his brows furrowed tightly: "He said that their horse gang has already arrived in Lingcheng with jade raw materials, and they only give us five days to raise money for the goods?" ”

Xia Lian's face was not very good-looking, and he said with a smile: "It's not, it's only given five days." ”

The third brother of the Lin family was angry again: "Then you say a hammer, we now have so much silver every month, where can we get so much money to hoard the raw stone material of Yuhefang?" ”

Xia Lian rarely didn't speak immediately, and he frowned as he sat on the Taishi chair, as if he wanted to say something for a while, and swallowed the words back.

The third brother of the Lin family saw that she already had a way in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak, so she said: "If there is any way, you can say it, we can't take too much care of the current situation." ”

Xia Lian then spoke: "We want to get back the stewardship of those shops on the outskirts of the city, this time is the time to recover the money from those princes and nobles, but there is a lot of money lying on the shop's account, if we take back the stewardship of the shop, why worry about no money?" ”

When the third brother of the Lin family heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said darkly: "Dad just gave the shop to the little sister, and the previous incident also made him feel unhappy, so we went to ask for the management of the shop, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

Xia Lian's eyes sank, revealing a burst of dark light, and whispered in the ear of the third brother of the Lin family: "Little sister is going to check the accounts in the shop tomorrow, every time she goes, she only takes a maid and a small maid who drives a carriage, she always goes to check the accounts and always returns after sunset, and when the time comes, we will arrange for someone to intercept her car on the road and insult her......"

As soon as the third brother of the Lin family heard this, he jumped up from the stool: "You can also say this kind of vicious and obscene method?" Are you shameless? ”

Xia Lian shook his face: "Then you have the ability, you are a gentleman, you can't look down on my indiscriminate method, you have any noble method, you can tell me!" ”

One sentence made the third brother of the Lin family frown and no longer open his mouth, he has always been an idealess, and he really can't think of any useful solutions.

Xia Lian continued: "She suffered this as a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and then she will dare to go out and show her face again? The old lady dares to let her take care of any more Rausch's shop? The eldest brother is often not at home in charge of the affairs of the horse gang, and the second brother is already lacking in the skills of those jade carving masters, so can't the management of those shops on the outskirts of the city only be handed over to us? Husband, think about it, this is about our future days. ”

The third brother of the Lin family wrinkled his face tightly, and only asked after a while: "The little sister's reputation is damaged, isn't she going to be poked in the back every day in this mausoleum?" How could General Kwong marry an innocent woman? So how should she deal with herself in the future? She's my sister after all, so it's not necessarily too vicious. ”

Xia Lian looked at the third brother of the Lin family, grabbed his arm fiercely and said, "The old lady loves her so much, it's your turn to feel sorry for her here?" Even if Kuang Lin quits the marriage, her father and mother will definitely prefer to accompany her with ten miles of red makeup to find her another husband, no matter how big a family business as Lin Ji is, why is it difficult to find a rich person from a poor family? Husband, what she has lost is only her reputation, but we can get countless wealth, maybe the jade business of the entire southern country will be in our hands in the future! ”

When the third brother of the Lin family heard this, he was silent for a long time, and finally spoke gloomily after a while: "Then follow your way, remember not to be recognized, and then find someone with no background and no relatives to do it, and we will clean it up afterwards." ”

"Count yourself smart, don't worry, this time we will definitely be able to take back the power of the shop." Xia Lian clenched his fists viciously and said.

The next day, Lin Zhuyun was awakened by the gentle sunlight from outside, her green fingers rubbed her apricot eyes, reached out to open the curtain, and saw that the sun was just right.

"Xiaotang, freshen up for me, I'm going to the outskirts of the city to check the accounts today, and I can't go back until it's late."

Xiaotang heard the order and brought a basin of warm water sprinkled with magnolia petals from outside into the room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my young lady leaning softly on the bed, her skin was like congealed fat, and she was full of energy.

Lin Zhuyun got up and said to another little girl: "Xiaolan, you take out my abacus of yellow rosewood, the abacus in the shop is always not in hand, I want to take my own one." ”

"Yes, miss."

After changing clothes, pulling up the bun, a golden hairpin was inserted obliquely into the carefully tied spirit snake bun, which made Lin Zhuyun's delicate and soft beauty deeper.

"Miss, all right, the carriage outside is ready." Xiaotang said.

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Zhuyun stepped out of his courtyard door and ran into Xia Lian head-on.

When Xia Lian saw Lin Zhuyun from afar, he immediately stepped forward to grab Lin Zhuyun affectionately: "Yunyun is going out so early, is this going to the shop on the outskirts of the city to check the accounts?" ”

Lin Zhuyun really admires her third sister-in-law in her heart, she has already torn her face and made a fuss before, but now she can still be so affectionate like no one, it seems that she has to learn more about acting like her third sister-in-law.

She withdrew the hand that was held, and said slightly: "Good morning third sister-in-law, I haven't seen my third sister-in-law for some days, I wonder if my third sister-in-law is okay in the ancestral hall for a month?" ”

This sentence is a clear reminder of Xia Lian's previous punishment, which made Xia Lian scold her mother in her heart, but the maids and maids around her came and went, and she was not easy to attack, so she only said sneeringly: "Okay, okay." ”

Lin Zhuyun smiled slightly: "The third sister-in-law is fine, I still have to go to the suburbs of the shop, so I will leave first." ”

Xia Lian heard that she was going to a shop on the outskirts of the city, and her face was full of smiles: "Go, go." ”

She was robbed of the power of the shop, she should be jealous, why is she so happy, Lin Zhuyun was slightly puzzled in her heart, but she didn't think much about it.

After seeing Lin Zhuyun go out, Xia Lian immediately returned to the room and said to the third brother of the Lin family who was washing his face: "Little sister has already set off to the outskirts of the city today to check the accounts. ”

The third brother of the Lin family hurriedly said, "Then have your people been arranged?" Possibly foolproof? ”

Xia Lian raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth tilted downward: "Needless to say, my dowry grandmother is a way, last night I went to find a big smoker who was already short of money and anxious, and gave dozens of taels of silver and stuffed half or two taels of cigarettes, even if he asked him to go to the underworld to fry and cook him, he was willing." ”

"That didn't reveal your identity, did you?" He asked, slightly worried.

"Then where can I be, Mama is wearing the clothes of an ordinary peasant woman, and she will not be recognized. However, the verbal grandmother also nodded to him, if he received the money and the matter was not done, then there would be no good fruit to eat. Xia Lian said confidently.

After hearing this, the third brother of the Lin family nodded slowly, that grandma has always done black work for Xia Lian, and her man also knows some ground snakes, presumably this time the thing can be done.
