Chapter 18: Solving Doubts

Qian Ming'an took a sip of tea, and then said: "It is conceivable that there must be someone behind him who can take care of him, and he, Lu Angui, will deliberately let his situation develop like this." In other words, this person deliberately let Lu Angui force the people to unrest and make things bigger, but he didn't expect to be discovered in advance by His Royal Highness King Ying, and when he went to inspect Taoyuan County, he personally brought grain with him, so as to appease the victims first, and then secretly investigate thoroughly......"

"But who could be behind this?" Xiting suddenly interjected.

Qian Mingan shook his head: "During the interrogation, Lu Angui only said that he was fascinated by a ghost for a while, so he would make such a mistake. And His Royal Highness King Ying didn't continue to investigate, and the Holy Lord immediately asked Lu Angui to be escorted to Dali Temple, just waiting for the autumn queen to ask ...... beheaded."

He was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a sound of footsteps, and then saw Su leading a group of slaves inside.

When she looked up, she saw Qian Ming'an sitting in front of the desk, she pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and said lightly while motioning to the servants to set up the dishes: "The master still knows that he wants to go home." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qian Ming'an's face suddenly turned pale, and he frowned and glanced at Xiting for help.

Xi Ting also frowned, shrunk his shoulders, and said with a blank expression, 'What's going on?' ’

"Madame said with a smile, why don't I go home? However, some time ago, the river channel of the Daxiangguo Temple of the Yichun River was damaged, and now the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, many royal children and female dependents will go to the Daxiangguo Temple to pay homage, put the river lanterns, and the holy order of the water supervisor to expedite the repair, be sure to pass the water before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the husband has only returned home late. ”

After that, Qian Ming'an sandwiched a piece of braised fish meat into Su's bowl and flattered: "Come, Madame, taste it, this live fish in Luojiang is the most delicious." ”

Su Shi glanced at him, picked up the fish and put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites, opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when he was interrupted by a rush of footsteps.

I saw Ping'an trotting in from outside the house, came to Qian Ming'an's side, and gasped slightly: "Master, Master Zhang of the Hequ Division has sent someone to invite you to go to Daxiangguo Temple." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Qian Ming'an suddenly stand up and walk outside the house.

Xiting also hurriedly got up and subconsciously followed behind him.

Fang raised his steps and heard Su Shi scolding lightly: "Stop." ”

The father and daughter paused for a moment and looked back at Su.

Su Shi came to Xiting's side and asked, "Ting'er, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiting laughed and said with a sneer: "Erniang, I just want to go with my father to have a look." ”

After that, he frowned and gave Qian Mingan a 'help' look.

Su Shi glanced at Qian Ming'an, and scolded Xiting: "Don't go!" ”

"Your father is going to repair the river, what are you going to do with a girl's family?

Once upon a time, you went down to the river with your father, but I only played with you. But last winter, you were in time, and there was a girl in this big Kyoto who was like you, who went down to the river all day long to follow those river workers to drive piles? ”

Qian Ming'an saw that Su Shi looked angry, and hurriedly echoed: "Ting'er, your second mother is right, besides, you have just returned home, and you have been tired of traveling and traveling, so you have a good rest at home, don't go out again." ”

As he spoke, he made a 'go' gesture to Ping'an, and stepped out of the threshold with his sleeves.

Xiting looked at Qian Ming'an and Ping'an's back, his heart itched, and he couldn't help muttering: "Erniang! ”

Su Shi beckoned and asked Xiting to sit down opposite her, "Nazhi River, it has always been their men's business, what are you going to make a fuss about?" Besides, in all these dynasties, which woman will go to govern the river? I figured it out, now that your father has only one daughter under his knees, and I am the only one left in the Su family, this Su family business will have to be handed over to you sooner or later. From tomorrow onwards, you will follow me in and out of the business, so that the faces of the major shopkeepers will be recognized, and you will slowly become familiar with the affairs of the business. ”

Xiting listened to Su's tirade and sighed secretly in his heart.

She knew that the Su family had never liked her to go down to the river bank to manage the river with those river workers, and she had always said the same thing in the Qian Mansion, and now that she said this, she knew that no amount of justification was useless in front of the Su family.

Therefore, he had to whisper: "Yes." ”

And Su is also a vigorous and resolute person, and the next morning he led Xiting to Su's Silk Village.

When Xiting stepped out of the carriage, he found that the entrance of Su's Silk Village was already full of attendants.

Standing in front, wearing a dark gray robe, a man in his early forties, saw Su Shi and Xiting coming over, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Madam, Miss." ”

Su Shi walked up the stairs and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Zhong Wei, the chief shopkeeper of the Su family's firm, followed closely behind the Su family and replied unhurriedly: "Mrs. Hui, everything is ready." ”

Su Shi nodded, "Well, lead the way." ”

"Yes."

Zhong Wei led them to the door of a room behind the silk village, slowly pushed the door open, and made a 'please' gesture, "Madam, miss, please come in." ”

Xiting subconsciously frowned, and as Su stepped into the house with his front and back feet, he saw that the furnishings in the house were quaint.

The room was not very large, but there were seven or eight shelves in it, and each shelf was full of ledgers, and when you walked into the room, the shelves were full of antiques

Calligraphy and painting are rare things on the market, and a bookcase as big as two people is placed in the middle of the room, and there are four treasures of the study room on it.

Just when Xiting was looking distracted, Zhong Wei suddenly pulled the circle chair behind the bookcase slightly, looked at her respectfully and said, "Miss, please take a seat." ”

Xiting glanced at Su Shi suspiciously, leaned on the armrests on both sides of the circle chair, and slowly sat down.

As soon as his butt touched the chair, he saw Zhong Wei 'snap' and slap twice.

Immediately afterwards, a group of small servants walked into the house like fish, and they all stood opposite the Xiting with a stack of thick notebooks in their hands, bowed down and said, "Miss." ”

Xiting frowned, and just wanted to ask, 'What does this mean?' The little guy standing on the far left suddenly stepped forward and put the notebook in front of the desk, and then retreated to its original position.

"Miss, this is the account book of the Su Clan's Grain Village."

As soon as Zhong Wei's words fell, another small servant stepped forward and put down a stack of account books.

"This is the account book of Su's shop."

"It's from the Silk Village."

"This is the ...... of the bank"

“......”

Xiting suddenly felt his ears buzzing, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart.

Sure enough, when Zhong Wei finished singing, he explained to the Su family: "Madam, all the account books of the Su family are already here. ”

Su Shi nodded with satisfaction, and then lowered his eyes to look at Xiting: "Ting'er, from today onwards, you will study these accounts here carefully, and become familiar with the Su family's business as soon as possible." ”

Xiting's face was full of shock: "Erniang, so many account books, read them all?" How could it be ......"
