Chapter 45: Breathe out for my family

Li Luansong, the matter of the concubine, put aside for the time being, these days he followed Shen Qu to learn to check the accounts, settle the accounts, transfer the shop, is busy showing his skills, testing what he has learned, every day after getting up early to the shop on time, listen to the shopkeeper talk about goods and accounts, watch them receive guests, listen to the needs of guests...... One by one, the shops are turned down, and they are not idle all day......

From snacks to fruits and vegetables, from rouge gouache to jewelry and jewelry, from clothes, shoes and socks to carriages and horses, from eating, drinking, and drinking to herbal medicine...... There are so many shops, and thousands of goods are personally selected by Shen Qu, the origin, source, purchase price, and selling price of each industry and each kind of goods...... It's all in her head, and she knows everything about the market.

Li Luansong secretly admired in his heart, my daughter-in-law is really amazing!

Last month's accounts he did neatly and correctly, Shen was very surprised, and praised it firmly, Li Luansong became more confident, and this month he checked more carefully and diligently.

However, something went wrong.

The books and inventories of several shops do not match, and not only that, but even the cash and the books do not match.

Li Luansong's temples were jumping, wouldn't it, did he do it wrong at the beginning?

He did not alarm Shen Qu, but took several shopkeepers to check the accounts one by one, then counted the inventory and checked the account books, and found that someone had manipulated the accounts and goods, modified the prices of the goods, and embezzled the cash in the shop.

The shopkeeper was also frightened into a cold sweat, and even shouted that he was wronged, which stumped Li Luansong.

How to check it?

In the eyes of the shopkeeper and the guys, he is Shen Qu, but he is not familiar with these people, and after more than a month, he can just distinguish who is who, as for his character, temper, and temperament...... His eyes were black, and he was afraid that it would backfire if he ventured into it.

Hey, I don't know where to start.

But a big man still wants to save face, if he has to ask his mother for such a trivial matter, won't he be looked down upon.

So His Royal Highness the King of Jin used his own local methods, after all, he was a person who had fought a war, a scout, and he knew about it.

Let's use the tactics of crowds, send people to keep an eye on the shop in May, one by one, day and night, everyone who comes to the shop, regardless of whether it is a guest, a peer or a supplier, follow one by one.

Not to mention, this method looks stupid but it really works.

In just over half a month, Li Luansong listened to the report every day, not only to understand the customer flow of the store, but also to know who the peers who often communicated, when the supplier delivered the goods, and when to settle...... Know everything in detail.

However, there was one person here who also caught his attention.

This person's name is Lu Sheng, he is the righteous son of Shen Qu's father, five years older than Shen Qu, grew up together when he was a child, he was an orphan, and was later picked up by Shen Fu as a son to raise him, provide him with food, clothing, study, and teach him to do business, and he really became Shen Qu's childhood sweetheart's brother, and Shen Fu's most powerful assistant, in charge of almost all the shops and goods exchanges.

"Childhood sweetheart?"

Li Luansong pinched this key word accurately from the May report, "There is such a person, why have you never heard her mention it?" ”

May:...... Is this the crux of the matter?

According to May's description, Li Luansong personally investigated secretly for a few days, and finally met this Lu Sheng.

With a long body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile on his eyebrows, he looks elegant and elegant, but he is quite popular with the little ladies, Li Luansong twisted his beard that didn't exist at all, and began to bury people:

"He looks like a dog, but his character is ...... Tut-tut, receiving favors from others but not knowing how to repay the favor, but doing this kind of thing inside and out, blinded this good skin. ”

Li Luansong was indignant and instructed May: "Continue to investigate, even the past matters, and ask for solid and reliable evidence." ”

After waiting for a few more days, May came with a stack of documents to report: "That Lu Sheng opened a shop in partnership with others without permission, and the silver on our books was embezzled by him to open a shop, and he did it before, but the silver was made up at the beginning of the next month, and for some reason, this time it was already in the middle of the month and there was no intention to make up." ”

"What else can I do because of this?" Li Luansong sneered, "My heart is big, my appetite is big, and my courage is fattened." ”

May glanced up at him, and stopped talking.

Li Luansong said: "If you have something to say together, don't talk about it." ”

May stubbornly said: "The subordinates also found out that this Lu Sheng once had a ...... with the eldest lady There was a marriage contract. It is said that he proposed it to Master Shen, but the Shen family was bent on marrying their daughter into the official eunuch's family, so they beat the mandarin ducks, so they ......"

It's over, May completely ignited the explosives bag, and before he finished speaking, he was beaten out by Li Luan Songsheng, if it weren't for Zelan's protection, I'm afraid that I would have a blue nose and swollen face, missing arms and legs.

*

On the other hand, as Zheng Wanren said, Li Luanfeng was really released, and Zhou Xueying was also taken to the Xianwang Mansion, and the two were tired of being together all day long, although they were still grounded, but their daily life was as usual, which was a sign that the case was going to be overturned.

Li Luanfeng stroked Zhou Xueying's slightly bulging belly, and said quietly: "You are good to give birth to a baby, as long as you give birth to this child, regardless of gender, your father will give him an identity, and naturally there is your identity." ”

Zhou Xueying said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, this child is my life, I will definitely protect our child, and ......"

She leaned down, rubbed against Li Luanfeng's body, and whispered, "I've found someone to check the pulse, it's a boy." ”

At that moment, Li Luanfeng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? ”

"Absolutely."

"If that's the case, that's great. As long as we have a son first, this is the best weapon to compete for the position of prince. ”

……

When Shen Cheng wrote a letter to inform Li Luansong of this matter, he immediately understood what the concubine meant by "going to the mother and keeping the child" that day, it turned out that they wanted to use the child to restore favor.

only turned around in his heart, and revealed the news to Zhang Chengru, who was very busy.

Li Luansong has been sending people to monitor Zhang Chengru, from the second brother sending Zhou Xueying to win him over, to the two of them colluding together day by day, he knows Zhang Chengru's movements well, and now, the best person to pry the second child is Zhang Chengru.

Sure enough, the moment he heard the news, the whole person looked stupid, put down what he was holding, and ran out desperately.

Zelan was taken aback: "Lady, what's wrong with Lang Jun?" ”

Li Luansong narrowed his eyes and said, "Go and save his son." ”

He didn't guess wrong, Zhang Chengru went to find Zhou Xueying, and he wanted his son back.

Zhou Xueying took advantage of Li Luanfeng's sleep to meet him at the side door, and they hadn't seen each other for a few months, and they had changed dramatically. Zhou Xueying's pearls are round and jade, and Zhang Chengru is thin and haggard.

"Xue Ying, that's my child, isn't it."

Zhou Xueying didn't answer, and said in disgust: "Who called you here, let His Royal Highness see that the two of us are not having a good life." ”

"Xue Ying, you told me that this child is mine, right, I just need to tell the truth."

Once this person falls into his own obsession, he will twist his tendons to the end.

Zhou Xueying was helpless, she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, so she simply cut off his thoughts:

"Zhang Chengru, I'll tell you the truth, that's right, this child is yours, but can you give him the supreme identity and a great future, just rely on you, you are nothing now, there is no hope for a career in this life, what can you give him, and what can you give me."

She pointed to Zhang Chengru's nose, and the more she spoke, the more angry she became: "Zhang Chengru, it was the intention of the Second Highness to be with you at the beginning, otherwise I would never have committed myself to you, and now I regret having your child, but the Second Highness, the concubine, and His Majesty have all decided that this is a royal child, then he must be surnamed Li, Zhang Chengru, you better keep your mouth shut if you know each other, otherwise, your family will have no way to live." ”

Bai Yueguang, who was gentle and considerate in the past, has now transformed into a future princess whom he can't climb.

Her fierce words and commanding were fierce, and those heart-piercing words pierced Zhang Chengru's heart.

The door slammed shut, and it also closed the door of Zhang Chengru's life.

"You ...... Wait for me. ”

He let go of the cruel words, but it was just a cruel word, what could he do, he only blamed himself for going all the way to the dark.

Therefore, those who can't be persuaded are fate.

Since that day, Zhang Chengru has been doing those jobs in the Zhang family, but the whole person has changed, no longer passive, has become active, not much to work but very hard.

Li Luansong didn't have the heart to care about his mess, for the sake of that Lu Sheng, he sulked for several days.

When the weather got hot, Zelan learned to make a crisp mountain for him, but he had to be sarcastic in a weird way, so angry that Xiao Nizi stomped her feet:

"Is it so unpalatable, it's not that the lady is not good at teaching." She muttered under the corridor, "In the past, in the house, the slave and maid learned it, and they made it for the master and the lady to eat, even Lu Langjun said it was delicious, why did the lady forget it." ”

There must be a master and a servant, and Xiao Nizi's temper is rising as she sees it.

However, this time Li Luansong didn't care about her, called someone into the room, and looked at her with rolled eyelids:

"What's the matter, I don't have a good memory, don't you know, you're still angry."

Zelan said aggrievedly: "The lady's memory is good and sometimes bad, how can the slave know." ”

Li Luansong waved his hand: "Come on, this reward for you, let me ask you, what did you just say about Lu Langjun." ”

Zelan was surprised: "What's going on, the lady won't even forget Lu Langjun." ”

"I forgot what's wrong, and I'm not much of an important person." Li Luansong wanted to get some news from Zelan's mouth, and asked patiently, "I remember that Lu Sheng seems to have a marriage contract with me?" ”

Zelan was stunned for a moment and said, "No, who told the lady about this, how can it be possible." Lady, this is really forgotten, Lu Langjun has been interested in you since he was a child, and he has been looking forward to marrying you, but it's a pity that the master didn't agree, and you don't like him, lady. ”

Li Luansong was overjoyed: "Yes, I don't like him?" ”

Zeeland Belly Slander: ...... Mom, I don't even remember whether I like people or not, I'm really sick.

Zelan said yes, "You avoided him for a while, for fear of running into him, but then things were made clear, and Lu Langjun was not a stalker, and everyone got along very well." ”

Li Luansong nodded, I see, now I am relieved.

Yes, the heart disease is gone, it's time to get down to business, Lu Sheng, I have to breathe for my family for this thing that eats inside and out.

So he wrote a letter to Shen Qu, informing Lu Sheng of the embezzlement of silver one by one, and told him that this matter must be done by the two of us together, and we will go to the shop tomorrow to check.

The letter was written and handed to Zeeland: "Let May bring it back and tell him that he is not allowed to eat supper tonight." ”

Zeeland was stunned, what did he do to be fine in May?

When May came, Zeeland handed him the letter, saying, "You, I have been watching you for a long time, don't jump around like a monkey on the beams of the house in the future, go through the door." But after all, this is a woman's boudoir, and you still have to pass it on through me, so okay? ”

May blushed, nodded obediently, and didn't dare to look at her.

Zelan took out a food box and handed it to him: "This is what I made for you, the lady punished you for not eating tonight, you can eat this." ”
