Chapter 232 Like
Zhi Ma hurriedly said, "I heard that Miss Du Yuan was ordered by the elder girl to deliver something to the governor."
The corners of Lu Yan's lips curled up involuntarily, and his eyes also lit up.
In front of the door of Lu Yan's study, Du Yuan waited for about a cup of tea. Father Tang Yuan came over and said that the governor was back and let her in.
Du Yuan carried a suitcase in his hand and entered the study door.
Lu Yan changed into a moon-white gown with green bamboo and dark pattern round collar, a belt of the same color around his waist, and an ancient jade hanging on the left side. He has the nobility and restraint that only a son of a family can have.
"Meet the young master!" Du Yuan saluted.
Lu Yan looked away from the bright moon in the sky, he turned around, looked at the suitcase on the ground, and asked in a soft voice, "What did she ask you to bring?"
"The girl didn't go out today, her body is getting better, and she met Manager Zhao Er..."
Lu Yan smiled, and a brazier was lit in the room, but Du Yuan trembled all over. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, only to hear Lu Yan say, "Did I tell you to monitor her? You can't even carry your own identity." Clearly, how do you work by her side on weekdays?"
When Du Yuan heard this, his soul was almost gone, and he took two steps forward, "Master, it's my servant who made a mistake. This servant shouldn't be like this. I will never dare again. I beg you to give me another chance. You must use your life to protect the eldest girl."
Lu Yan walked over slowly, he picked up the suitcase on the ground, walked to the table, put the suitcase on the table, opened it gently, a strange smell came out, and he saw that the suitcase was full of All kinds of flower paper, rich peonies, enchanting peonies, tall and straight bamboos, green pines...
All kinds of fragrances are mixed together, and it smells very good.
"Why did she meet Zhao Er in charge?"
Lu Yan's question gave Du Yuan a little hope, she quickly turned around on the ground, and said respectfully to Lu Yan, "Returning to your son, the reason why the girl saw Manager Zhao Er is because of Xiang Yunjian.
She whimpered and cried, "Girl, girl, tell me, if, if the son asks the girl something, there is no need for the servants to hide it."
It turns out that these are called Xiangyun paper!
Lu Yan closed his eyes, his white jade-like hands gently moved the Xiangyun Paper, looked at them one by one, liked it very much, and asked, "Which shop is she going to sell?"
"Returning to your son, the eldest girl has a shop named Sibaozhai on the side street opposite Taixue, which specializes in selling pens, inks, papers and inkstones."
Du Yuan came out of Lu Yan's study, but the young master didn't punish her. What did the young master plan? Du Yuan can't figure it out, let it be if he can't figure it out, if one day the son remembers how to punish her, she will go beg the girl again.
Thinking of this, Du Yuan relaxed a lot.
When she returned to Xie's house, Xie Zhiwei had already fallen asleep.
Early the next morning, Zhao An came to pick up Zi Mo and went to Hengjie together.
Hengjie is located on the right side of Nanxunmenli Street, crosses Nanxunmenli Street, and turns inside. On the left are Taixue and Guozijian, and then Tongyu Street. , on the opposite side of Taixue and Guozijian, occupying a good position.
Zi Mo and Zhao An got out of the car. At this time, it was already high in the sun, and the door of Sibaozhai was still closed. Zhao An stepped forward and called to open the door, only to see a mess inside, and the goods were placed in a mess, piled up everywhere. It's a mess.
"What's going on here? Where's the shopkeeper? Is it you?" Zhao Ammonium asked angrily.
"This is how the little one came yesterday. I heard that the shopkeeper hanged himself. Just behind him, there was a funeral at his home, and no one was in charge here. The little one came here yesterday. It was a bit messy. It took a whole day to tidy up before I could leave. foot."
"What's your name? Are you the waiter here?" Although Zhao Ammonium thought that the situation might be bad, who knows, it turned out to be so bad.
"The young one's name is Zhangtai, and he has been in this shop for fifteen years. Ten years ago, the shopkeeper's surname was Sun. After two years, the shopkeeper changed, and the business was not as good as before. My previous salary was not low. Although I haven’t had a raise in these years, I still stay here in order to support my family. Alas, who would have thought that maybe this year won’t pass, and the younger one will have to find another job.
Zhao Ammon saw that Zhang Tai was about 20 or 30 years old, with a simple and honest face. When he was talking, he picked up the pens, inks, papers and inkstones scattered on the ground from the shelves. The impression was much better, and he asked, "How did this place become like this?"
"Well, I only found out later that the shopkeeper didn't know why he went crazy. After closing the night before yesterday, he drank some wine, smashed it in the shop, and hanged himself when he went back."
The layout of the shop facing the street is the front shop and the back square. The front shop is quite deep, with a half-block in the middle, counter shelves in the front, and two private rooms separated by two sides at the back, and the middle passage.
The wing rooms on both sides of the courtyard are used as warehouses, and there are a total of three back rooms where the shopkeeper's family lives.
At this time, white lanterns were hung under the eaves of the corridor, and a coffin was placed in the middle of the middle room. A middle-aged woman led two teenagers kneeling in front of the coffin, crying and throwing paper into the brazier.
When Zhao Ammon saw it, he was so angry that he resisted the urge to step forward and overturn the coffin boards, and walked over with Zi Mo.
The deceased was the oldest. Zhao Ammonium and Zi Mo twisted three sticks of incense each, and after worshiping in front of the coffin, Zi Mo said to the woman, "This sister-in-law belongs to the shopkeeper Zhu's family?"
Only then did the woman raise her head to look at Zi Mo, and cried, "Miss, you can do as long as you want, the head of the housewife has already left, and when he was alive, there was not even a tael of silver in the account Wrong, it should be as much money as it should be, and all of that money was spent by you, where do you get the money to fill the account now?"
The woman was angry and sad, she closed her eyes and almost passed out, the two children rushed forward, put their arms around the woman and called "Mother", the older one yelled at Zimo, "You are the county lord? I Dad is in charge of you, and you have never been greedy for a sum of money, now you ask my dad to fill the account book with money, what is the reason?"
Zhao An and Zi Mo looked at each other, Zi Mo was about to speak, Zhao An stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty and this girl were indeed sent by the county lord, but we are here to take over the shop, as you said, the county lord What happened to asking you to fill the hole in the account book with money?"
The woman couldn't explain why, but Zhang Tai said, "I've heard about this from the manager."
There was no way to speak here, so the woman opened the next room and moved some chairs. She also sat on the side, hugging the two children, crying while she didn't know what she was thinking.
