Warm fragrance cloud around

After several days of uninterrupted spring rain, the capital was rarely seen with cloudless good weather, and the sun just came out. The people who had been trapped in their homes for a long time began to muster up their spirits and bustle about their work.

The market in the east was bustling with people, but the Xizheng Road, where a large number of dignitaries' residences were gathered, was still quiet at this time, only occasionally a few servants and servants quietly opened the small door, and went out to buy the dishes and supplies for the day.

The same is true of Chengyibo Mansion located at the southwest corner of Xizheng Avenue, but there is a sudden discordant voice in the silence.

Outside the southeast wall of the Bo Mansion is a bush of thorns. There are still a few raindrops on the green leaves. The head popped out of it.

The man looked around carefully, and then he boldly greeted inside the wall: "Little... Young Master, there is no one outside, hurry up and come out!"

There was a rustle in the thorn bushes, and the little boy in his mouth came out. After standing up straight, he shook the water droplets and grass leaves on his body with a light smile, took out the precious white jade folding fan from his arms, and held it in a serious manner. Swaying in front of him, with a plain white robe, he looks like a handsome young man.

The little boy raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression was extremely joyful: "Xiaochun, where shall we play today?"

Xiao Chun, who was dressed as a servant, pursed his lips and picked off half of the dead leaves from the young master's hair, and said calmly: "The shopkeeper Liao of Hongfen Pavilion sent a letter to someone the day before yesterday, asking you to go as soon as possible, saying that you have something important to discuss. The business of the shops in the city is not good these days, you better go and have a look, it is said that some of the shopkeepers are not safe..."

Xiaochun was still talking non-stop, the young master's handsome face had slowly collapsed, he managed to find time to sneak out of the mansion, he never thought he would not be at ease, why is this day so sad.

"Stop, stop, good Xiaochun, stop talking, I know, lead the way, I will follow you."

The young master stopped Xiaochun's words coquettishly, and followed behind resignedly, unwilling to take a step forward. For some reason, the corners of his drooping mouth suddenly raised, and he began to urge: "Xiaochun, Xiaochun, move quickly!" Maybe we can still catch up with Huayuelou's singing and dancing after we are busy!" The originally procrastinated pace also became brisk.

This is what Xiaochun admires most about his master. He was downcast just a second ago, but he can cheer up and find new fun in just a moment.

The figures of the master and the servant walked away slowly. If you look carefully, you can still find a bit of lightness in the deliberately heavy and steady steps. The body wrapped in the well-tailored robe is slightly slender. In the eyes of a discerning person, perhaps the contour arc of a girl can be vaguely seen.

This young man is none other than Lin Junnuan, the eldest lady of Chengyibo's residence.

Speaking of the Sincerity House, the old people in the capital can't help shaking their heads and sighing. The family in the Bo House can be said to be a typical example of "wealth and honor cannot be passed down for three generations".

The first generation of Chengyi Bo was very business-minded, almost starting from scratch. When he was less than [-] years old, his shop had already opened up half of the Chu country. Without interest, he donated most of his family property to disaster relief, and immediately won the emperor's favor.

The people of Great Chu are open, and there is no hierarchy of scholars, farmers, and businessmen. The emperor was impressed by his generosity and cherished his ability to run a business. Managing the private treasury for the emperor also made the emperor a little rich himself.

By the time of the second generation of Chengyi Bo, after all, the son inherited his father's business and had a foundation, coupled with his father's patient teaching since childhood, his achievements were even greater than that of the first generation. He did not continue to manage the emperor's private treasury, but passed the scientific examination to formally He joined the Ministry of Household Affairs and became Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs all the way. He died of illness ten years ago.

Unexpectedly, the third generation of Chengyibo, who is now the Chengyibo, is an idiot who can't afford it.He inherited the generosity of his grandparents, but did not inherit their talents. He was unable to study or do business. The hero donated his righteousness to save money, and the property passed down from his ancestors was not as good as every year under his hands. Several ancestral shops were even sold for cash.

There are only three generations of titles conferred by the emperor. If this generation does not make outstanding achievements, the glory of the Chengyi House will come to an end.

There are not many gossip about the Chengyi Bo's Mansion in the capital, after all, a small Bo's mansion is nothing in this place where just throwing a stone can hit a dignitary.As we all know, it is only that the uncle's family has a son who is also useless and useless, and a young lady who rarely shows up. It is said that this young lady suffers from hidden diseases, and her appearance is mediocre or even ugly, so she has always lived in seclusion.

At this very moment, the "ugly" Miss Lin Junnuan of the uncle's mansion was dressed as a man, sitting in the hall slowly shaking a folding fan, with a sullen face and expressionless facing the room full of fellows who dare not show their airs, Those straight eyebrows and lips are clearly very handsome.

"There was a difference of ten taels in January, and a total of 30 taels in February. This month, there was a difference of 50 taels. Can anyone explain to me where the money that disappeared from the account went?"

After waiting for a while and no one answered, Lin Junnuan grabbed the account book that Xiaochun was holding next to him, slammed it heavily on the table in front of him, and said with a cold snort: "Although there is not much money, I use money for such a cheating guy." Excuse me, Xiaochun, tell me about the results of our investigation."

"Yes."

With a low eyebrow, Xiaochun took out a small black leather book from his pocket, and read aloud: "Tian Da, one tael a month, and no other livelihood. It costs eight taels to marry a wife in January, and it costs a total of eight taels to buy a field in the suburbs of Beijing in February." 12 taels, and 20 taels for my brother to build a house in March."

"Li San, with one tael a month, and no other livelihood. In February, he spent nearly ten taels drinking flower wine, and in March, he spent 20 taels to buy jewelry for Miss Fanglan in Yanyu Building."

"Gan Da, the monthly salary is one tael or two, and he has no other livelihood. Ten days ago, he spent 20 taels to add a beautiful side house."

Lin Junnuan glanced at the three people mentioned with a half-smile, "You haven't been working for more than half a year, can you tell me how you saved up so much money? Or did you meet a nobleman to give you money? As far as I know, your family members have all said that the head of the family earned the money himself."

Tian Da and the others had long been lying on the ground sweating profusely.I heard the old guys in the store say that the boss is not easy to fool, they just took it as a joke, what can such a handsome young man do.Coupled with the fact that the boss has always acted generously, presumably they will not be held accountable for doing wrong things. They can get money if they know how to do things casually.Unexpectedly, within half a day after the money shortage came out, the little boss had already found out all the expenses of all of them, making it indisputable.

"Nothing to say? Leave after paying double the money according to the contract, or send it to an official, choose one." Lin Junnuan lowered his eyebrows, put away the folding fan and tapped on the table lightly, waiting for the three to make a decision.

The thick-skinned Gan Da threw himself in front of Lin Junnuan and cried bitterly: "Boss, I know I was wrong, I really knew it was wrong! They encouraged me, and my family is too poor, so I have no choice but to suffer." Temptation, I really know I was wrong, I can't lose this job, I have..."

"There is an 80-year-old mother on the top, and a baby waiting to be fed on the bottom, right? Oh, you are also a poor person."

Lin Junnuan frowned slightly, as if she couldn't bear it, she motioned for Xiaochun next to him to help Gan Da, sighed and gently patted him on the shoulder: "It's hard work to be a man in the family, and you have to bear all the burdens yourself. It’s really hard for you to share.”

Gan Da's expression was slightly relaxed. It seems that this little boss is soft-hearted. He might be able to escape this time, but he saw Lin Junnuan raised his head and looked at him with clear eyes: "But what does this have to do with me?"

Speaking of which, Lin Junnuan didn't care about others anymore, got up slowly, and walked slowly to the old shopkeeper with a worried expression, "I don't need to say more, if you can't pay the money within a day, you will be sent to see the official." Right. You also failed to check, and you will be fined for one month."

"Yes." The old shopkeeper bowed respectfully, looked at Lin Junnuan's back without looking back, and finally let out a long sigh.

This time he also disappointed the little boss.

After Lin Junnuan took care of the shop for nearly three years, the old shopkeeper has never been able to understand this young boss.At a glance, he is clearly a fledgling young boy. When he was appointed as a shopkeeper, he never valued his status and qualifications. He only paid attention to his character and ability. During the festive season, everyone will be backed up with small gifts, which are obviously very humane and often make people feel innocent.

However, the clear eyes of the little boss seem to have a strange ability to see everything. Once he loses his trust, he will no longer care about any affection. He is so cold that it makes people feel chilling, just like this time.

The identity of the little boss has always been a mystery, what kind of family can raise such a character young master?The old shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, and began to deal with the next things according to Lin Junnuan's instructions.

The three of them will not be able to repay the money that has been spent for a while. The old shopkeeper is directly tied up and sent to the government. He will probably suffer a lot of flesh and blood first, and then sell the property to lose money. As for them, they regret it Or resentment, no one cares.

Lin Junnuan left the shop and walked out half of the street without stopping, then slowly slowed down and turned around and asked, "Xiaochun, where are we going next?"

"I have inspected all the shops that should be visited, and then nothing will happen."

Xiaochun replied casually, noticing the remaining coldness on the master's face, and deliberately made her voice soft and cheerful: "My lord, let's go to Huayue Tower to watch singing and dancing. Today there will be a performance by Miss Oiran Ziyuan!"

"Okay, let's go to Huayue Tower." Lin Junnuan nodded slightly, and turned towards the path leading to Huayue Tower, but the excitement and anticipation when he just went out was gone in his expression.

"Xiaochun, do you also think I'm very harsh?" After walking a few steps, she suddenly asked.

Xiaochun shook his head again and again, expressing his support for the master loudly: "They did something wrong and should be punished. The master has given them a chance to stop. It's because they didn't know how to repent and missed the opportunity."

Yes, I missed the opportunity to make amends, and no matter how much I repent, it will not help. Lin Junnuan looked at the sky in a trance, her white cheeks slowly puffed up, and she exhaled again, smiling again: "You are right, They deserved to be punished for what they deserved, and today we’re fine, we’re going to watch singing and dancing happily.”

As she spoke, she pulled back her skirt and ran forward with big strides, "Miss Ziyuan, I'm coming!"
