The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

"That's right, I think his clothes are made of smooth and shiny materials, so they must be expensive. He is good-looking and kind, and he is willing to come to a small shop like ours, without putting on airs at all. If I were a woman, I would marry him." The waiter crossed his hands and placed them on his chest.

Shopkeeper Liu slapped him on the head as soon as he changed hands, "You are just a daughter, can you be worthy of her status? You bastard, dreaming of spring and autumn dreams again, go to work!"

"Master, shall we still go to Sanzifang?" Zhu Mao asked.

"No." Jia She said.

Zhu Mao scratched his head, he really didn't understand why the master suddenly wanted to ask about the printing workshop.

Back at Rongfu, Jia Amnesty told Zhu Mao to go to the cashier to get 5000 taels of silver.

Zhu Mao hurriedly asked the master why, but was told no.Zhu Mao was worried now, this was not a small amount of money, he didn't even have to try it, he would be sent back by the accountant.

But Zhu Mao still didn't want to offend the master, so he obediently went to the accountant to convey the message, and as expected, the accountant didn't intend to give money at all, and made a joke of Zhu Mao by the way.

"The upper lip touches the sky, and the lower lip touches the ground. I think you are shameless. This is 5000 taels of silver, not five taels. You can get it if you want it, as a young man? Even if the old man comes in person, so will I." I have to report this to the second wife for approval before I can spend the money." Wu Xindeng, the head of the bank treasury, said.

It's one thing for Zhu Mao to expect to be slapped like this, but it's another thing to really hear people mocking him.Zhu Mao was so angry that his hands were shaking, and with a hot face, he came back to complain to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty was not angry when he heard this, instead he called Erzhuzi and Wanfu and asked the three of them to go together again.

Zhu Mao thought that this would still be fruitless, but because of the master's firm attitude, there was nothing he could do.He had no choice but to obey, and took Erzhuzi and Wanfu to run again.

Wu Xindeng just laughed at Zhu Mao's begging for money, turned around and saw that he had brought two more people, expecting that he deliberately provoked him because he was not convinced, and became even more annoyed, pointing at Zhu Mao's nose and scolding: "You Do you think this bank is opened by your family? Bring two more people here to scatter, and you will be in trouble? I will still be afraid that you will fail, so I will leave this talk today. If you have no money, if you want to call your house The master is going to find the second wife."

"I'm not here to provoke you, but the master told us three to come again because you didn't want to give it up." Zhu Mao explained.

Wu Xindeng fiddled with the abacus absent-mindedly, and said sarcastically, "Hey, he's incompetent himself, so what's the point of scaring us little people."

"Then I have to trouble you to teach me, what is the future?" A gentle male voice called, making Wu Xindeng's ears a little dazed for a while.

Wu Xindeng felt that the voice was familiar, but the tone of the voice was so unfamiliar that he couldn't remember who the owner of the voice was for a moment.He looked up, the door was empty, and there was no one in his sight.

Just when Wu Xindeng was in a trance and felt that he had heard it wrong, a figure suddenly flashed in front of the door, wearing a straight ochre-colored floral silk dress and a blue bat-patterned jade belt around his waist.

"Grand... Grand Master!" Wu Xindeng's legs were weak, and he almost fell to his knees.

Jia Amnesty walked in, but his eyes never fell on Wu Xindeng.He sat behind the desk, propped his chin with his left hand, and casually flipped through the ledgers on the table with the other hand.

"My lord, the little one should be damned, I owe you my mouth!" Wu Xindeng pretended to twitch his mouth, and then went to Jia Amnesty to explain, "The little one has already sent someone to report to the second wife, but the second wife's He said that he didn't know about this matter, and he didn't know what the master wanted so much money for. The younger ones didn't dare to make decisions casually, so there was really no way. Otherwise, master, you can send someone to clarify with the second wife first. Is this going to bring you some money?"

Jia Amnesty looked at Er Zhuzi, who was blushing and angry, and said, "Applause."

Erzhuzi responded happily, rolled up his sleeves, first found Wu Xindeng's knee and kicked him, forcing him to fall, then rode on him, opened his mouth left and right, and slammed Wu Xindeng's mouth hard.The other people in the accountant thought they could see the excitement of the old man, but in the blink of an eye they suddenly realized that Wu Xindeng had been beaten.

Interested people rushed to tell Wang Xifeng and the second wife.

Wu Xindeng howled all the time, he was not angry in his heart, and wanted to resist, but because the old man was here again, he could only endure this grievance.But wait, the second wife's people will come back to make decisions for her in a while.

Jia Amnesty didn't think Wu Xindeng's screams were loud at all, and flipped through the account book page by page until Zhou Rui's family came, and Ping'er came with her.

Jia Amnesty stopped when he saw Er Zhuzi's hand was sore from beating.

"Master, what is this?" Zhou Rui's family asked tentatively.

Jia Amnesty ignored him, and only looked at Wu Xindeng, who was kneeling on the ground with his swollen face. "Let me ask you, who took the title in the Rongguo Mansion?"

Wu Xindeng straightened his posture immediately, knelt down towards Jia She, and said tremblingly, "It's the old man."

"I think you can read and count anyway, and you should understand some common sense. Tell me, who is the owner of the Rongguo Mansion? Who should have the final say?"

"This..." Wu Xindeng's heart skipped a beat, and the old man's question made him feel as if he had been shocked, and was so shocked that he lost half of his soul in an instant.

According to the laws and regulations of the imperial court, all properties conferred by the title are naturally inherited by the title.This Rongguo Mansion is an imperial seal, so naturally it should be owned by the Grand Master Xijue.And it's not just the mansion of Rongguo Mansion, when Duke Rong was entrusted with the feudal title, he gave him many properties. These things that were rewarded due to the feudal title should also be owned by Elder Xi.

"Master Ben spends his own money, but still has to report to others, and she is a woman, it's too ridiculous." Jia She's originally peaceful face suddenly turned cold, and he swept sharply at the Heping son of Zhou Rui's family standing at the door. , suddenly slapped the table.

Wu Xindeng shivered in fright. He looked at Zhou Rui's family, and saw that Zhou Rui's family pursed their lips and refused to make a statement.

"What's the point of just making amends, why don't you hurry up and hand over all the money our master asks for." Zhu Mao yelled loudly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Xindeng bowed his waist, and hurriedly fetched the ledger with shaking hands, wrote down the amount of money, and then anxiously sent it to Jia Amnesty for his signature.How could Jia Shen pay attention to him, he still calmly flipped through the books in hand, as if he was waiting for the matter to end.

Wu Xindeng was stunned, not knowing what to do.

Er Zhuzi sneered: "This little money doesn't need to be sold by the master himself, we will sign it on behalf of you."

Wu Xindeng guessed that these young men were not very literate, so he wrote their names for them, and only asked them to mark with their fingerprints.

After the work was over, he went to fetch 5000 taels of silver bills.This time he behaved himself, and only dared to hand over the banknote to Erzhuzi respectfully.

Er Zhuzi took the money, counted the amount, and reported it to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty then got up to go, but he didn't lose the account book in his hand, he just took it away.

Although Wu Xindeng wanted to go back, he didn't have the courage, so he had to hold his breath.Wu Xindeng didn't dare to turn around until he confirmed that Master Xi's back had really disappeared, almost begging Zhou Rui's family in tears.

"You two have also seen that, the old man is like that, I really can't handle it alone, look at my face being beaten, there is really nothing I can do."

Zhou Rui's family watched the whole process, they naturally understood it, snorted twice in anger, and went back to Mrs. Wang.Ping'er naturally wanted to inform Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng scolded the Eldest Master for causing trouble, and hurried to Mrs. Wang's place without daring to neglect her.

When Wang Xifeng entered the door, he happened to watch the Buddhist beads rolling down the floor.He knew that Mrs. Wang was very angry at this moment, otherwise she would not have accidentally torn the Buddhist beads bracelet she has always cherished.

"Look at his matter, it's really worrying, 5000 taels is taken away." Wang Xifeng sat down and said something tentatively.

"We all know what kind of person your father-in-law is. He used the 5000 taels to do business, and it doesn't hurt anything. I'm afraid he will use it for some shady business. If the old lady finds out about this , we will have to be reprimanded and wrongly blamed by an official." Mrs. Wang sighed sadly, and raised her tea.At this moment, she was already mad with anger in her heart, but in front of Wang Xifeng, she always showed a calm demeanor.

"What the lady said is true, then I will send someone to inform the old lady, so that we won't be held responsible for it later." Wang Xifeng comforted.

After hearing what she wanted to hear, Mrs. Wang finally calmed down and gave a faint "hmm".
