It was difficult to get the days of rotation, and An Ying slept at home in the dark.

I got up and wanted to get something to eat, but I didn't expect to see An Tong coming back from outside, throwing out a lotus leaf-wrapped food and putting it on the table, and said, "Hey, Sister is up for you, I bought you wontons." Why is my little sister still asleep, I bought her favorite fried eel noodles from Mapozi's house in Chengdong. ”

An Ying picked out the food and put it on the plate, and said while eating, "You went out early in the morning to buy us breakfast, this is sensible." Daddy will definitely praise you later. ”

An Tinggui walked out and looked at the food on the table, "What, what about mine?" ”

"Hey, Dad, you're going to the tea shop, so you can eat in the shop." An Tong shook his money bag, "I still have to wait until the end of the month." ”

An Yingxiao picked up a wonton, "When my monthly money is paid, I will definitely share it with you." ”

An Tinggui knocked An Tong's hand that reached out to grab the vegetables with chopsticks, "Don't worry about him." Just your three melons and two dates, or keep the flowers for yourself. ”

Looking at the eldest daughter who was a little emaciated, An Tinggui felt distressed.

"I said Xiaoying, I heard that there are fewer female officers in the Criminal Department than in other places?"

Without waiting for An Ying to answer, An Tong said, "That's not it." The criminal department is all hard work, you see that Sister A is running back and forth between the academy and the criminal department, and she has to stay up all night, and everyone stinks. Which family is willing to send their promising daughter to the criminal department? ”

An Tinggui slapped the table, "Our shop has also opened, although I don't make much money now, it is not a problem to support a few of you." Don't go to the value, you see, it's only been a few days, and people are all out of shape. ”

An Ying finished eating the wontons in a few bites, and began to eat Xiaomei's fried eel noodles again, and when she heard her father say this, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Dad, I naturally have a reason to do things in the official mansion." ”

"What's the truth? Are you going to be a big official? Do you want to glorify your ancestors? An Tinggui said angrily, "The female officials of the people are beautiful, but they are all high-ranking families, you are so smart that you can't understand this, right?" ”

"If you want me to say, it's better to open a shop at home. To be honest, we also opened a bead shop in Huzhou before, and your grandfather's family is in Fujian, so you can buy some good beads, I think ........"

"Dad~~" An Ying interrupted An Tinggui's business imagination, "Let me ask you, did you borrow a hundred taels from Mrs. Shen for the capital of our tea shop?" ”

"Yes. But we pay it back every month with interest. An Tinggui was a little puzzled.

An Ying was reluctant to mention the seal, for fear of scaring his honest father.

"Daddy, the Liuting Garden where the little sister reads is the Qian family, that is, Mrs. Shen's maiden family's property, and it was Mrs. Shen who sent the little sister to the school garden. Not to mention the Jinling Mansion Academy that the younger brother studied, without Mrs. Shen's relationship, with the strength of our family, we can't send it in at all. ”

An Tinggui was a little dazed, An Tong didn't understand, and the little sister An Lan, who had just gotten up, sat at the dinner table with a confused face.

"Hey. Mrs. Shen is willing to help us, on the one hand, she is a good friend of her mother, and on the other hand, she is investing. ”

An Ying looked at the three ignorant faces and said patiently.

"Investment? What is investment? An Tinggui didn't understand.

"She is willing to help you and hopes to get something in return from you in the future." An Ying continued: "After she knew that Lord Su admired me, she desperately wanted me to enter the Criminal Department, and she hoped that I could become the person who could give her something back in the future. Do you think the officials of the Criminal Department are useful to her, or the lady of a tea shop is useful to her? ”

An Tinggui was silent, he really didn't think about it so much.

"In the same way, she let her little brother and sister go to school, which is a help and an investment, which does not prevent us from being grateful to her." An Ying looked at his younger brothers and sisters and said, "Xiaotong, Mrs. Shen also funded Shen Pingxiu, and it is the same reason. ”

"Our family is really too thin, and we have to be able to accept Mrs. Shen's kindness." An Ying smiled and said, "Daddy, don't be too nervous. I just said it, in fact, Mrs. Shen herself may not think about it so much, it's just that we are benefited by others, so we have to show that we are worthy of these benefits, right? ”

An Tinggui let out a long sigh, "Your brain is just with your mother, take one step and think ten steps." That's it, I'll take care of my tea shop and earn you enough money to live by. ”

An Ying looked at An Tong and An Lan, and said with a smile: "Don't be scared by my words. What should I do, it's really not good, we can go back to Huzhou. ”

An Lan was still young, she was eating fried eel noodles, and she slurred her words and said, "Well, I don't want it, the girls' academy here is better than Huzhou." I eat more than Huzhou, play more than Huzhou, and even the clothes here look better than Huzhou. ”

An Tong scratched his head, "Sister, I also think that the academy here is better than Huzhou." The teachers of each subject are everyone, and they are amazing. ”

"Okay, then if you like, we'll stay." An Ying packed up, "Today's rest, I'll go to the shop to help." ”

Mrs. Shen sat in the private seat on the second floor of Anjia Tea Shop, watched the stage downstairs babbling and performing miscellaneous dramas, and said to Mrs. Dai Fuyin next to her with a smile: "Sister, I just said that this girl has a lively mind." I was stunned and moved the miscellaneous drama in the tile to the tea shop. It's good, it's crowded and crowded, and the little baby likes to see and can't see. The shop is comfortable, and it takes an hour or two to watch a miscellaneous drama, and you can't eat more tea soup and food. ”

An Ying smiled and brought a plate of three-color cakes to the two ladies, and Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "The meaning of this three-color cake is good, soft and delicious, Sister try it." ”

An Ying smiled and introduced: "The fillings inside are also different, the white one is jujube paste, the black one is hawthorn, and the red one is red beans." This cake is particular when eating, and it will not be so delicious after a while. ”

Qian Qingning, the wife of Fu Yin, picked up the jujube paste stuffing and ate it, nodded and said, "Your family's pastry is better than most families in the capital." ”

An Ying smiled and said, "That's really a face-apprehancy." Mrs. Fu Yin and Mrs. Shen, you eat slowly. I'll go down and take a look, there will be a new dish in the shop, and I will definitely eat lunch before leaving. ”

After An Ying left, Qian Qingning took a sip of tea soup, "I heard my old Dai say that this girl is doing well in the Criminal Department." Within a few days, he was promoted to Sizhi, and he was considered to have a grade. Sister is always so accurate when she sees people. ”

Mrs. Shen smiled silently.

Qian Qingning has always liked to fight with her little sister. Although she married her husband as an official, and now she is the Yin of the Beijing Mansion, but this little sister who married a merchant is always full of bearing, and she hates the smile of the little sister who knows everything but just doesn't say it.

"Is this An family's family so thick? This shop is so big, the hall in front and the private room on the second floor, as well as the small courtyard at the back. Didn't you give the money? It seems that the little sister is very interested in this An's daughter. ”

Mrs. Shen patted Qian Qingning's hand and said with a smile: "Her mother's friendship with me, this little favor is just a convenient thing." Merchants also have merchants' doorways. ”

Hearing this, Qian Qingning was a lot more relieved, look, no matter how angry he is, isn't he also a merchant who sells things, and his tone of voice is also a lot softer, "Why does my little sister have time to go out with me for fun today?" I can't read your account book on weekdays. ”

Mrs. Shen didn't know her second sister's careful thoughts, she put down the dim sum in her hand and asked, "Recently, the government has been checking the account books of our money bank. ”

"Oh, that's what you said." Qian Qingning said casually: "Isn't it the last tribute tea case, there are still 500,000 taels missing." ”

"Didn't you say that you had already transferred to Western Xia? Why are you still in the Great Apocalypse? But is the news exact? Mrs. Shen was a little surprised.

"I heard Lao Dai say that this matter is being investigated by Lord Chen Dong of the Criminal Department. Master Chen, you also know that ghosts can't pry out a single word. Qian Qingning looked at Mrs. Shen with some puzzlement, "What are you doing so hot?" ”

"If the money bank business is like this, I will check what kind of business it will do." Mrs. Shen sighed, "When will this case be a head?" ”

"The amount of money involved in tribute tea is large, and there are many officials. However, if it weren't for the fact that this case had pulled down several third-grade and fourth-grade officials, how could our old Dai have the opportunity to be transferred to the capital government to be the governor. Qian Qingning is very satisfied with the name of Mrs. Yin of this mansion recently, after so many years, she has finally come out.

"But Lao Dai still has some ways to do this." Seeing that the little sister's delicate face was a little sad, Qian Qingning said a little proudly: "This investigation of the money movements of all the big domestic money banks is Lao Daiti's suggestion. You also know that Lao Dai is good at counting, and he used to be a comparison under Lord Chen, specializing in auditing accounts inside and outside the court, and he has always been good at money. ”

Lao Dai helped look at He Qing's account books, and felt that the 500,000 taels of silver were only the account books that flowed from Western Xia to Daqi. But there is no trace of how it flowed from the Great Revelation to other states. This doesn't make sense. That's 500,000 taels, not 50,000 taels. ”

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "Then brother-in-law wants to find out the flow of 500,000 taels from the old accounts of the current money bank?" But in a money village like ours, the current silver flows in and out of tens of thousands of taels a day, how can he check? ”

"Lao Dai's mathematics, Daqi is called the second, and no one dares to call it the first. Anyway, he has a trick. You just do your business, so that your big donor can relax. This investigation is still a tribute tea case, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

An Ying, who was standing at the door, was holding a new iced drink.
