Bai Zhaowen looked at Chu Yuanshan, who was a little irritable, and was secretly happy in his heart, he really couldn't hold his breath, so he straightened his chest and said with a smile: "Although it is said that chasing the wind and catching shadows, it is not groundless.

I have seen the account books of the Chu family in Tianjin, Hangzhou, and even the capital, but the account books of Panyu have always been in duplicate, one of which is placed outside, and the other is locked in the box in the bedroom by the old lady over the years, never showing people. The commercial banks next to it have lost money and made profits in the past 20 years, but Panyu's profits have risen year after year. The silver only goes in but not out.

And Panyu ...... I heard that the largest local trading house is also surnamed Chu, and the Panyu Chu family started as a shipbuilder. ”

Chu Yuanshan looked at him with deeper and deeper eyes, and even smiled a little contemptuously: "So what? This Panyu has a family surnamed Chu, so we can't have the surname Chu? Or is it that the current emperor's surname is Bai, and you are a relative of the emperor? ”

Bai Zhaowen said coldly: "Our Hangzhou Chu family is indeed calm, but this Yu Chu family has all kinds of rumors in the community. ”

Chu Yuanshan sneered: "There are rumors about the Chu family in Panyu, what is the matter with my Hangzhou Chu family?" ”

Bai Zhaowen sighed: "Old lady, does this Hangzhou Chu family really have nothing to do with the Panyu Chu family?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it really doesn't matter, there are more people talking outside, and there is a relationship.

The old lady is not afraid that the three of them will become tigers? ”

Chu Yuanshan nodded with interest and said, "Yes, if you add the testimony of you, the steward of the Chu family, it is really somewhat credible." However, Zhaowen, this matter is just a little speculation on your part, do you believe what you say? ”

Bai Zhaowen didn't understand why Chu Yuanshan said this, so he only said: "I believe it or not, as long as the government believes it." ”

Chu Yuanshan sneered: "You look at our Chu family's opening of porridge houses over the years, cultivating the orphanage, having a clean family background, giving grace widely, and the masters of the family are always lenient and friendly, you think that the Chu family is weak and can be bullied, and you can pinch the circle and step on it, and you will be afraid of your idea of catching wind and shadows, and being forced by you."

Ke Zhaowen, if you really believe that what you have heard is true, then how dare you let your daughter break in?

Isn't it ridiculous that you have to speculate about the Chu family like this, and you don't believe your own speculation, but you dare to act nonsense? ”

Bai Zhaowen's thoughts were completely said by Chu Yuanshan, and he couldn't help but tighten his eyes, and pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

He first noticed the flaw, and he was frightened and had a lot of thoughts until he saw that his daughter was about the same age as Chu Ping, growing up day by day, and then thinking about the wealth of the Chu family, he was consumed by the desire for profit for a while, and figured out this set of tricks that he thought could make his own family's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and begged the old lady to put Qiuyue next to Chu Ping.

But he never thought that his sweet dream, in front of Chu Yuanshan, was only worthy of the word ridiculous.

Chu Yuanshan shook his head slowly: "At this point, you have two ways to go.

First, you left the Chu family with your daughter, and over the years, your monthly income in the Chu family has been a lot, which is enough for you to support the old and young in the family.

Find a secluded village, don't swagger or cause trouble, and maybe you can enjoy your old age in peace......"

Bai Zhaowen's hands were clenched into fists, and his body was tense, like a leopard about to pounce at any time: "Is the old lady joking?" Aren't you afraid that I will report to the official? ”

Chu Yuanshan said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the yamen has been open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money, our Chu family in Hangzhou, although the foundation is not thick, it is not something that you can easily shake with a little steward."

Aren't you afraid, the Chu family will accuse you of false accusation? ”

Bai Zhaowen sneered: "Have you ever heard of a saying that the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes." If I would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, bite the Chu family to death, the wealth of the Chu family, I don't want it, can I not do it to those old men in the mansion? If anyone can see this layer, there will be birds who die for wealth, and people who eat them. ”

Hearing him say such a thing that the jade is burned and both are lost, Chu Yuanshan shook his head and sighed, what he hates in this world is not the wicked, but the good man, the more he is coveted, and he becomes the fish and meat on the knife of the wicked, and many people are looking forward to dying, so there is the old saying "people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden".

Isn't it sad and ridiculous that those people, who are not even careful in their calculations, are willing to die in pieces in order to gain something for themselves, just so that others will not get any benefits.

"Zhaowen," Chu Yuanshan's voice was a little desolate, "Have you ever thought that the Chu family is really as you checked, and the Panyu Chu family is originally a family, and what they are doing is a business that has lost their heads, how can the Chu family not have a few lives in their hands?" Do you think you will have the life to walk into the gate of the palace? ”

Chu Yuanshan's bottomless voice suddenly made Bai Zhaowen feel cold on the soles of his feet, and his body couldn't help but feel a little weak, if the Chu family was really innocent, he was not afraid, but could it be difficult, those guesses of his own would be true? What are they doing behind their backs?

Chu Yuanshan finally saw the fear in Bai Zhaowen's eyes, and only felt even more ridiculous, so he continued to say slowly: "The second way to live, you stay, and you have to do your errand."

As for your daughter, let your mother-in-law find a good family for her to marry, and it can be regarded as a master-servant over the years. ”

Bai Zhaowen looked at Chu Yuanshan, who was full of kindness but bottomless eyes, and suddenly wanted to run, and wanted to take his wife and children to leave the place of right and wrong quickly, that was not something that they could easily contaminate as ordinary people.

But after thinking about it, if his conjecture is true, and he revealed his heart to him today, how could he take risks, how could he let his family live?

Walking is really a dead end.

Bai Zhaowen trembled and knelt on the ground: "I, I'll stay, let my daughter go." ”

Chu Yuanshan raised his eyebrows in some surprise: "Oh? You're not going to take a walk and try it? ”

Bai Zhaowen thought about it again and again, and finally leaned over and said: "The old slave never wanted to turn his back on the Chu family, he just wanted to serve the Chu family wholeheartedly. ”

Chu Yuanshan only said lightly: "Then you can guard your mouth and pray day and night that the Chu family is safe, after all, under the nest, there is no reason to finish the eggs, you also understand."

If the rumors leak out of you, the Chu family will be dead and will have a full back. ”

Bai Zhaowen responded in a trembling voice: "...... Be. ”

Chu Yuanshan picked up the book on the table again, and seemed to ask inadvertently: "By the way, where did you see the clue?" ”

Bai Zhaowen said truthfully: "Yes...... It was four years ago, the old man came back from Panyu to bring the account book, because he was in a hurry to go out, he asked Xiao Shunzi to send it back to the backyard to his wife, and the wind blew a page, which said that Litai had been in power for three years, and the Panyu Chu family cloth shop made a profit of 13,200 gold.

The amount is staggering, he came to ask me what kind of business the Chu family is doing in Panyu, and they can make so much money.

I...... That's when I became suspicious. ”

"Well, it's Hongzhe who is too careless. Little Shunzi, yes, I remember. Go ahead. Let your mother-in-law give Qiuyue a good look at each other, and when you look at the people, you will go back and forth to the old lady to lead people, that girl is not young, it is better to get married as soon as possible. It's okay, but it's a matter of your old family. Chu Yuanshan picked up his glasses and read a book, and instructed Bai Zhaowen as if gossiping, asking him to step back and lead the door by the way.
