Back at Houfu, Chu Zishan saw Mei and Chu Zhinan standing in the courtyard with anxious faces, and hurriedly greeted her when they saw her.

Chu Zishan walked directly into the Ming Hall past the two of them, sat down and picked up the fruit points on a few cases and feasted on them.

"I didn't have lunch." Mei Shi hurriedly came over and poured her a cup of tea and put it in her hand, "Drink some tea and don't choke." ”

Then, she pointed to the maidservant: "Ruyi, go and let the small kitchen make some meals for the eldest girl." ”

Chu Zishan gulped down the fruit, his brows tightened more and more.

All the way back from the household, her mind was full of her mother going to receive the money again and again, returning empty-handed again and again, receiving cold treatment again and again, her heart was put on fire, and the burning pain made her angry.

She snapped a few cases, and the tea set jingled.

"These grandsons, if they dare to bully my Chu family, I will make them die a good death."

Mei Shi looked stunned, "Zishan, you won't make a big fuss about the household just now, right?" ”

Seeing that Chu Zishan didn't speak, she looked at her daughter, who was also worried, and secretly screamed in her heart.

Since Chu Zishan left the Houfu, the two of them were restless, worried about Chu Zishan's violent temper, and if they didn't say a word, they would make a big fuss.

Seeing that this person was so angry as soon as he came back, the nervous and frightened hearts of the two girls were about to jump out of their throats.

Seeing that the master had been silent in the early spring, the second lady and the eldest girl were worried on the side, she said: "Second lady, eldest girl, don't worry, our girl has a good conversation with the household, and the girl is limited to the household servant to send Yulu to the house within seven days." ”

"Limited to seven days, this ......" Mei listened to Chu Chun's words, and couldn't laugh or cry.

If you don't come, Zishan, this girl, is limited to the household department for seven days, so that people can listen to it, won't she laugh and lose her big teeth.

Chu Zhinan shook his head helplessly and beckoned to the maidservant: "You go quickly." ”

Chu Zishan raised his eyes and saw the maid walking out with a package, "Jinxiu, why are you going?" ”

Jinxiu squatted down and saluted her, and said timidly: "Back to the girl, the eldest girl asked me to go to the pawnshop to take my head." ”

Chu Zishan beckoned: "Take it." ”

Jinxiu looked at Chu Zhinan, stepped forward timidly, and handed the package to Chu Zishan.

Chu Zishan opened the package, and there were two huanghuali jewelry boxes, which were filled with gold and silver jewelry and jade bracelets and pearl chains.

She glared at Chu Zhinan: "My Chu family is not to the point of pawning, let's go through the accounts again and see if there are other ways." ”

"I've checked all the accounts of the Houfu, but ......" Chu Zhinan stopped talking, his eyes flickering.

Chu Zishan frowned: "Look at you, you are gentle, if you have something to say, hurry up." ”

"There is an account that has not been checked, yes, the third aunt's shop, I asked Jinxiu to get the account book, but the third aunt didn't give it." Chuzhi South Road.

Chu Zishan rolled his eyes angrily: "In early spring, Guiqiu, you two go to the West Courtyard and bring me the account book." ”

"Yes." Chu Chun and Gui Qiu responded, turned around and walked towards the west courtyard.

Chu Zishan finished eating a plate of fruits, and heard Ning's sharp scream, and then, Chu Chun ran back with a wooden box.

"Girl, this is the account book of the third lady's shop."

Chu Zishan looked at the wooden box locked by a small golden lock, raised his eyebrows and looked at the panting Chu Chun, Chu Chun pointed to the back: "The key is in the mouth of the third lady." ”

At this time, Ning ran over, out of breath, and after a while, he pointed at Chu Zishan: "Chu Zishan, what do you want to do?" I am your elder, and you have openly robbed your elders of their things, believe it or not, I will go to the official office to accuse you of the sin of disobedience. ”

Chu Zishan looked at her: "Don't talk nonsense, hand over the key." ”

"Chu Zishan, those shops were given to me by my sister-in-law, and I ran them with my hard work, and I won't give them to you if I die."

"You lose money every month after you work hard to operate, and you still have the face to say, you resist me opening the wooden box so much, you are tired of checking it, you have a weak heart?"

"You have a weak heart, the account book, my sister-in-law checks it every month, if there is a problem, my sister-in-law will not let me do it a long time ago. You said that I don't know when you check the accounts, you are because of Cui'er's incident two days ago, you hate me and Rail'er, and you want to take back the shop, if you dare to accept it, I will die in the shop, and your Chu family should not want to do this business. ”

Mei Shi looked at Ning Shi and said softly: "Brother and sister, Zishan didn't want to take back the shop, just look at the accounts, now that the Houfu has no money, if you have money, take it out and help you get through the difficulties......"

"I'm sorry, you don't come to lie to me, Gu Yimo brought so much gold, silver and jewelry, and filled a warehouse, you said you have no money, you lied to ghosts. Chu Zishan, you are so rich, and you still worry about the little money in our orphans and widows, you black-hearted girl. ”

Ning suddenly sat on the ground and patted his thighs and howled: "Oh my God, Mu Xuan and his father, open your eyes and take a look, your niece is bullying us, this day can't be ......"

Chu Zishan looked coldly at the Ning family, "The shop belongs to the Chu family, you are not doing well, it is normal for me to take back the shop as the owner." ”

With that, she slammed her fist into the wooden box, the box became shattered, she took out the account book inside, shook it, and handed it to Chu Zhinan.

Ning's face was frightened: "Chu Zishan, you ......"

Chu Zishan glared at her: "If you dare to make trouble again, I will pull Chu Muxuan over and beat me until you don't make trouble, I see who can stop me today." ”

"You, you, you......"

Ning was so angry that he trembled.

Mei walked over and helped Ning up: "Brother and sister, I didn't get it back when I went to the household department today, I was angry, she was on fire, you still don't mess with her, in fact, Zishan didn't say that the shop won't take care of you." ”

Ning pushed Mei away and glared at Chu Zishan angrily: "Chu Zishan, my man died to save your father, you dare to treat our mother and son badly, that is ungrateful, and you will be struck by thunder from the sky." ”

With that, she turned and walked away in a huff.

Chu Zishan looked at Chu Zhinan boredly, "Money, money, I have never wanted money so much like this moment." ”

After a while, Chu Zhinan showed her the account book: "On the third aunt's account book, there are a few items that should be on credit, you see these, all of them are remembered by the Sun family." ”

"The Sun family."

Chu Zishan sat up, grabbed the account book, and carefully flipped through the pages.

Chu Zhinan: "I have to say that the third aunt's account remembers very clearly, I just roughly calculated, the Sun family has probably recorded nearly 40,000 taels of accounts over the years, and a few of the rest should be owed by the shop, and there are also a few thousand taels." ”

Chu Zishan slapped the account book on several cases, "The Sun family owes tens of thousands of taels, which is enough for my Houfu to spend a year, why doesn't my mother want to come back?" ”

Mei sat beside her, "You had a marriage contract with the Sun family before, it was a family, and the sister-in-law also had the heart to let the Sun family help and tell Mrs. Sun that if you need it, come and get it." This Mrs. Sun is not polite, she has kept so many accounts. ”

Chu Zishan sneered: "Needless to say, the family is no longer so." ”

She stood up, moved her arms, her bright eyes flashed, and she smiled slyly at the corners of her lips: "Ming'er, I'll go to Sun's house, and the eldest sister will take Chuchun and Guiqiu to take back the other credits." ”

Chu He's family hid in the verandah, she was the same as Mei's, worried that Chu Zishan would go to the household department to make a big fuss, and secretly waited here for her daughter to come back.

Her daughter was not impulsive, and she was finally relieved and relieved.

Daughter, has you really grown up? Or is she ...... Never knew about this daughter at all.

From the birth of her daughter, she was destined to be a failed mother...... When she wanted to make amends, her daughter's hatred for her was deep.

The mother-in-law was wise, and asked her to step down from the position of head of the house, and wanted her to think about it a few times.

If she wants to think about it, what has she, as a mother, given her daughter?

Let her daughter be in charge of the house, I want my daughter to know her difficulty.

The mother-in-law had good intentions, so that she and her daughter could release their suspicions and take charge of the Chu family together before she died.

She turned abruptly, and her lonely figure slowly disappeared into the deep courtyard.

Chu Zishan went back to the dormitory and slept for a while, and listened to Midsummer call her in a haze.

"Girl, the news is here."

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, took the bamboo stick from Midsummer's hand, and pulled out a note from it.

After looking at it, she frowned: "The carrier pigeon came back a day late." ”

Sheng Xia nodded: "Yes, according to the normal flight speed, I should have come back last night, maybe it was delayed by the master." ”

Chu Zishan handed the note to Sheng Xia: "You go to Wu'an Houfu and hand the note to Master Hou in person." ”

"Yes." In the middle of summer, I put the note away.

"Send another letter to Master Gao, asking him to investigate Wu Haoyu, who smuggled salt, and send people to the governor of Qianjiang in my name."

"Yes." Midsummer answered again and turned to leave.

Chu Zishan lay back on the bed and looked at the gorgeous and soft veil.

Wu Haoyu is the brother-in-law of the Tobe squire.

Officialdom career, what is a bright future, it is all paved with real money.

In order to be promoted, officials are corrupt and corrupt, enriching their own pockets...... Do your best to make money.

The most profitable of these were salt and iron, which were monopolized by the imperial court.

But the huge profits drove many to take the risk, preferring to risk their heads and lose their heads to smuggle salt and iron.

The household department is in charge of the transportation, and the household servant uses the grain to make smuggled salt, which is a very safe method, and the one who acts as a laborer for him is his brother-in-law, Wu Haoyu.

In her previous life, she was the daughter-in-law of the treacherous minister Sun Zhiyuan, and she knew that in this officialdom, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and one level eats one level, which is cruel and realistic.

Sun Zhiyuan has a good eye for the sky, and he knows everything about the money obtained by improper means by officials at all levels, and with a slight beat, he will put most of the money that those officials have scooped up in his own pocket.

She often saw some officials come to the palace to give gifts, and the household servant was one of them.

Bullying her Chu family, she will make the villain who hides his head and tail pay a painful price.

Midsummer wrote the letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg, released the pigeon, and watched it fly away before she turned and walked out of the yard.

After a while, Yun Chuan walked into the house with a pigeon in his hand, and handed the bamboo strip to Gu Yimo behind the table: "Miss Chu has sent a message again." ”

Gu Yimo took the bamboo strip, took out the paper scroll and opened it and looked at it, "I can drive the salt to help Master Gao do things for her, this girl is more hidden than I thought, the wife and brother of the household servant ......, heh, this guy is unlucky, let it go normally." ”

"Yes." Yun Chuan responded, turned around and walked out of the house.

Gu Yimoto looked out the window, the wall that separated him from Chu Zishan, now, when the subordinates of the Houfu saw him, they ran faster than the leopard, he tempted him with two ingots of gold, and no one dared to look at him, in just one day, the champion Houfu was managed by Chu Zishan as disciplined as a military camp.

He sighed suddenly: "Lady, my husband is going to be lovesick......"

Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Zishan took the carriage of the champion Houfu and embarked on the road to the Sun family to ask for debts.
