Following.

The sun is shining and the weather is clear.

The streets and alleys of Changning County are filled with bright sunshine, which is warm and very gratifying.

And as gratifying as the sunshine is, there is also the business of 'Tulip Zhai' on Nanshi Street.

It was just opened in the morning, and the quaint decoration of the 'Tulip Zhai' was like a market.

There were ordinary people, rich families dressed in gorgeous clothes, maids and servants of various families, and it was very lively.

"Xiao Er, do you still have sweet rice cakes at home?"

In the lively store, in front of a counter, a girl in a pink skirt dressed as a maid tilted her head and looked at the shopkeeper who was busy behind the counter.

"Yo! The cherry girl came to buy sweet rice cakes for your little master again? ”

When the shopkeeper saw the girl in the pink skirt, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Yes! My little master is cute and eats your sweet rice crisp, didn't I just finish eating it last night, my wife sent me to buy it this morning! ”

The girl in the pink skirt nodded playfully.

"Isn't that right? My sweet rice crisp is delicious, everyone loves to eat it, and it is also one of the best-selling dim sum in my house, and it is often sold out! ”

The shopkeeper smiled and groaned, hooked his fingers, and said:

"I'll tell you! My sweet rice crisp is made from several grains into rice flowers, and then combined with sweet potato sugar, carefully made, with the crispy rice and the sweetness of potato sugar, people can't stop eating! ”

"Is this often sold out? Is there anything else that is there now? ”

The girl in the pink skirt was suddenly a little anxious.

"Yes! Some! And some more, I'll get them for you! ”

Seeing that the girl was in a hurry, the shopkeeper nodded again and again, and then went to get something with a smile.

And not only here.

At this time, at the other counters of Tulip Zhai, they are also scrambling to buy, which is very lively.

And it's different from the bustle here.

In a room in the backyard of Tulip Zhai, it was depressing.

On the floor in the room, there was a young man dressed as a shopkeeper kneeling.

There was an old man who looked like a shopkeeper standing next to him, his face was ugly at this time, and he was respectful to the person sitting on the chair in front of him.

On the chair, there was a girl about fourteen years old, dressed in a pale green dress, with a melon seed face, big eyes, an erect nose, and a cold and delicate face.

However, although the girl is only about fourteen years old, the whole person exudes an age-inappropriate temperament, her big eyes are sharp, and her eyebrows are cold, and the whole person does not seem angry and arrogant.

At this time, she didn't see everything in the room, just lowered her head and drank tea to herself.

And next to the cold girl, there is also a long table.

There was a stack of ledgers piled up on the table, and a girl in a green dress and a boy in a shirt were sitting there, flipping their abacus against them.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The room was eerily quiet, except for the sound of the collision of abacus beads echoing through the room.

A little bit.

The sound of the abacus clashing in the room stopped, and the young man and girl behind the long table raised their heads and stood up.

The girl in the green dress walked out of the long table, came to the chair, and said coldly to the cold girl on the chair:

"Eldest sister, the accounting is clear! In the past month, a total of 250 catties of goods have been lost in the warehouse, including 56 catties of dried sweet potatoes, 24 catties of potato sugar, 42 catties of sweet rice cakes, and sugar rice cakes...... A total of eighteen taels of silver! ”

The voice fell, and the girl in the green dress looked coldly at the young man who was kneeling on the ground.

The shopkeeper knelt on the ground, motionless.

The cold girl didn't go to see the shopkeeper on the ground, after listening to the report of the girl in the green skirt, she glanced at the old shopkeeper standing in front of her, pinched the tea lid with her slender jade fingers, flicked the tea, and said casually:

"Shopkeeper Li, you are the shopkeeper of 'Tulip Zhai', there are people in the store who are guarding and stealing, what do you think should be done?"

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper, who was originally ugly, glared at the shopkeeper on the ground fiercely, and shouted:

"Say! Where did you put the stolen goods? ”

"Sold! The little one took all the goods outside to exchange for silver! ”

The shopkeeper was frightened, lying on the ground and trembling slightly.

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he drank again:

"Where's the money you sold?"

"Lost! All lost in the 'Good Luck Casino'! ”

The shopkeeper sobbed, his hand lying on the ground clenched into a fist, and his voice was full of unwillingness.

"Die! How many times have I told you not to gamble, but I just don't listen! ”

Shopkeeper Li was angry, stood in place and stomped his feet repeatedly, full of hatred that iron does not become steel.

Immediately, the shopkeeper Li's eyes flashed with determination, and he gritted his teeth at the cold girl in the chair and said:

"Weaver girl, the nature of the prison guard is bad for self-theft, she should be dismissed from the store and no longer hired!"

The cold girl on the chair is Zhao Yu's maid, the Weaver Girl!

Four years have passed, and the little girl who used to pull corpses on the street has grown into a slim girl.

When she heard the words of the old shopkeeper, she didn't raise her head, but she still brushed the tea with the lid of the tea, looked at the tea soup in the teacup, and said lightly:

"Shopkeeper Li is the shopkeeper of Tulip Zhai, you are in charge of the affairs of the store, you say dismissal, then dismissal! Midori, chop off one of his hands and throw him out of the city! ”

The voice was light, and the Weaver Girl spoke without waves, as if the cruel words that followed did not come out of her mouth.

But hearing this, Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened when he looked at the Weaver Girl.

And the shopkeeper, who was kneeling on the ground, also raised his head violently, his eyes full of disbelief.

However, the girl in the green dress beside the Weaver Girl did not hesitate at all, and immediately shouted out of the door:

"Come on, pull him down, chop off a hand, and throw him out of the city!"

"Yes!"

In response to the sound of harmony, two black-clothed young men rushed in from outside the door, directly setting up the shopkeeper from the ground.

"Nope! Miss Weaver Girl, spare your life, don't chop off my hands, don't! ”

As soon as the shopkeeper was set up, he suddenly recovered from the shock, hurriedly broke free from the restraints, and crawled towards the Weaver Girl with a wail, but was caught by the two black-clothed teenagers again, and could only struggle desperately.

The old shopkeeper also reacted at this time, hurriedly walked a few steps forward to the Weaver Girl, and said eagerly:

"Weaver girl, please give the old man a little thin noodles, be merciful, don't be heavy-handed!"

The voice fell, everyone in the room looked at the Weaver Girl, and the shopkeeper also stopped struggling, showing anticipation in fear.

The line on the Weaver Girl's eyebrows was raised, she put down the teacup, and looked at the old shopkeeper with a smile:

"I forgot that this person was entrusted to the shopkeeper Li to enter the tulip Zhai, since the shopkeeper Li opened his mouth, the hand will not be chopped!"

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Yang, this person stole and sent him to the official mansion!"

Moving her gaze from Shopkeeper Li, the Weaver Girl looked at the two black-clothed young men who were holding the shopkeeper.

"Yes! Eldest sister! ”

Two black-clothed teenagers walked towards the door with the shopkeeper on their feet.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly struggled and cried:

"Don't! Let me go, I can't go to that place in the official mansion, I'll be killed! Uncle Li, save me! ”

Shopkeeper Li was also anxious when he saw this, and looked at the Weaver Girl again.

But this time, without waiting for Shopkeeper Li to speak, the Weaver Girl raised her hand to stop him.

The smile that the weaver girl showed just now had disappeared, she stood up and said lightly:

"I heard that Shopkeeper Li owes him a little favor to let him in, Shopkeeper Li has helped him enough, and this favor has already been repaid, there is no need to maintain him so much! What's more, this person is a good gambler, and letting him stay in prison for a few years can also help him quit gambling! ”
