Old things in Nancheng

Generosity and decency are often linked to good self-cultivation, but the real reason is just not caring.The emperor will not care about the small people, because the small people cannot threaten the throne of the emperor, but if thousands of small people rebel, the emperor will not care?

Lin Zhilan's grandeur is well known, no matter in Wangjiazhuang or in other courtyards, there is no one who does not say Lin Zhilan is good from top to bottom. With her experience of thousands of years, she really doesn't care about some important things in the eyes of the world However, there are some things that she really cares about.

Wang Zimo used to be a coward, everyone hated her, Lin Zhilan was very fussy, now Wang Zimo has changed, not to mention everyone loves her, but there are still people who like her, for example, the peach blossom in front of her who looks particularly soft.

Wang Zimo had a negative IQ in front of Lin Zhilan, and Lin Zhilan said everything he should say and what should not be said, including what Tao Hua thought of him. Lin Zhilan was not in a good mood. People make her very nervous.

"I heard from my husband that she recognizes you as my sister?" Lin Zhilan asked.

"Xiaoer is kind-hearted. Seeing that my family was lonely and helpless, I protected my family all the way to Yanguan County." Taohua bowed her knees and replied cautiously.

Look, how affectionate it is, and still a second child!Only Wang Zimo's elders or friends would call her that.

Compared with Lin Zhilan, Taohua's appearance is a little worse, she doesn't have that kind of radiant grace, but she has a charm of her own, she is a beauty, now that she eats well and dresses well, her charming temperament will naturally come out.

"Husband took special care of you and treated you well. I wonder what your plan is?"

Taohua could feel Lin Zhilan's hostility towards her, which made her very uneasy. She knew that her identity was embarrassing, and there were some things that she was no longer as persistent as before.

"My family narrowly escaped death, it was because of heaven's pity, I dare not think otherwise, if Mrs. Meng does not abandon me, my family is willing to be a slave and a handmaiden." Tao Hua said shyly.

"You are my husband's elder sister, how can you be a slave? Otherwise, you will live with Yan'er first, and when you find a good one, my husband and I will prepare a generous dowry for you." Lin Zhilan felt awkward, Really let Taohua be a servant, Wang Zimo will definitely get angry with him.

"My family can't bear it." Tao Hua politely refused in fear.

"My husband and I are originally from a farming family, and our origins are not obvious. We are not much nobler than you. You can stay here with peace of mind."

Lin Zhilan couldn't tolerate Taohua's rejection, so she ordered Caiyue to open a warehouse, picked up some daily necessities and moved them to Yan'er's courtyard, and ordered the sewing woman and Taohua to tailor new clothes. .

Seeing Taohua's charming back when she left, Bixia frowned and said: "The lady is too kind, why treat her so kindly."

"She is just a poor person. The biggest mistake is that she has thoughts that she shouldn't have. Let's see. If she is safe, I will not treat her badly."

Sovereignty needs to be defended, but one shouldn't be too mean. Lin Zhilan doesn't believe in such illusory things as doing good and accumulating virtue. She just has her own principles for doing things.

Lin Zhilan was afraid that the people below would neglect Taohua, so she went to Yan'er Courtyard after lunch to have a look.Yan'er lives in the east wing, Taohua lives in the west wing, the servants are quick to do things, the room has been cleaned, the mats and quilts have been sun-dried, the west wing is sun-dried, Lin Zhilan ordered Caiyue to take green bamboo curtains from Anji and hang them up, and the room in the wing Put ice cubes on the four corners, and took a lot of fabrics for Taohua, let her do needlework to relieve boredom, this is considered to be a good place for Taohua.

Lin Zhilan was tired all morning, a little sleepy, and wanted to take Bao'er to take a nap at her side, but whoever wanted to enter Yan'er's east room saw Yan'er leaning against the window in a daze.

Lin Zhilan sighed silently, a good little girl, how could she be like this now, making Chen Wangshu want to join the army, as a sister-in-law, she really didn't know how to persuade her.

Originally, Lin Zhilan was firmly on Yan'er's side. Marriage is independent and love is free. This is a matter of course. She will not accept the dross culture of the Song Dynasty just because she wears it to the Song Dynasty.

However, Yan'er did not object when the marriage was made, and after getting along with Chen Wangshu, Lin Zhilan gradually realized that Chen Wangshu was kind, responsible, affectionate, and of good character. A good choice, of course, the requirements should not be too high, for example, there will be no spiritual communication.

Lin Zhilan was a little confused, wondering if she was right to keep Yan'er in the first place, but now based on her observations, Yan'er has studied and learned etiquette, and her heart has grown, and she looks down on rough people like Chen Wangshu.

Taking the sleeping Bao'er away, Lin Zhilan returned to the main room full of worries. The mat that was full of traces of love last night had been changed, but Lin Zhilan couldn't help but think of the passion of last night while sleeping on it.

I can't help but sigh, how many people in the world can find each other and stay together forever.

Five days later, a group of shopkeepers with dark circles came out, Wang Zimo's face was full of exhaustion, and the account reconciliation was finally over.

Bao'er hadn't seen Wang Zimo for several days, and as soon as they met, she pounced on him, rubbing back and forth so happy, and didn't dislike the smell of sweat on Wang Zimo's body.

Lin Zhilan saw that Bao'er called "Dad" softly, but Wang Zimo did not respond with a straight face, so she hurriedly asked Caiyue to take Bao'er away, stepped forward and pressed Wang Zimo's head and said, "Go and wash first, there is no need to worry about it." Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Wang Zimo tilted his head, staring at Lin Zhilan's face in a daze, making Lin Zhilan confused.

"Go, you smell of sweat."

"There is a problem with the accounts." Prince Mo Qing said with a straight face.

"Is there a problem? Which shop?" Lin Zhilan couldn't help asking.

Wang Zimo stared at Lin Zhilan again and again, sighed, got up and went to take a shower.

"I don't know why, are you stupid?"

Wang Zimo was in a bad mood, and the people below were cautious. At night, Wang Zimo didn't eat with everyone, but ordered some food and wine, and went into the study by himself.

"Xiaoliang, tell me, which company has a problem with its accounts." Lin Zhilan rarely saw Wang Zimo get angry like this, so after thinking about it, she called Xiaoliang, the personal attendant, to answer.

Xiao Liang was obviously a good boy, and replied with his hands down: "I don't understand accountants, but after finishing the account reconciliation today, I asked the shopkeepers to go back to the shop tomorrow, but the shopkeeper Wang En was left in the outer courtyard by the young master, saying that it was too late." Come back in a few days."

Lin Zhilan couldn't help but "thump" when she heard this.

"Caiyue, go and send a message to let Wang En come to see me." Lin Zhilan said with a sullen face.

"Miss, the second door has been locked, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to ask shopkeeper Wang En to come in." Caiyue persuaded, now that Wang Zimo is at home, it is still necessary to avoid suspicion.

Lin Zhilan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Then go call early in the morning, Xiao Liang, you can take care of me before you go, if your husband has something, you can report it to me right away."

According to Xiaoliang's understanding of Wang Zimo, someone must be in trouble this time. People who don't get angry usually are not human when they get angry. Conscience was greatly relieved.

Walking all the way to the study room, I saw Zhang Fang kneeling on the ground. The shopkeeper Zhang raised his hand and made a loud mouth, and cursed: "You ungrateful bastard, I gave up my life to follow the young master. Even if you don’t remember your old man’s love if you make your boy popular and hot in this colorful world, have you forgotten the kindness that young master has shown to our family!”

Zhang Fang didn't dodge, he was hit several times, Wang Zimo couldn't hold back, Xiao Liang rushed over to help when he saw this, the two of them worked together to push Zhang Bucai on the seat, Zhang Bucai was full of anger, and his mouth was still Scolding, Zhang Fang's face was swollen, and he just hung his head and said nothing.

"Grandpa, take a break. I called brother Zhang Fang here to clear up my doubts, not to inquire about crimes." Wang Zimo persuaded.

"The ledger is made by this bastard, his butt can be cleaned!" Zhang Bucai persistently put the shit basin on his son's head.

"Brother Zhang Fang, get up, the old man is getting old, don't take it to heart." Wang Zimo was very polite, and personally pulled Zhang Fang up.

Kneeling was not popular in the Song Dynasty, and it was not popular before the Song Dynasty. The ministers in the court did not have to kneel when they met the emperor. This soft-boned etiquette only existed in the Yuan Dynasty.Kneeling is a very serious matter, and Zhang Bucai made Zhang Fang kneel, which is already a heavy punishment.

"It's only natural for a father to beat his son, and the beating is for nothing." Zhang Fang said aggrievedly.

"The beast dares to talk back!" Zhang Bucai raised his hand again when he heard the words.

"Okay, both of you father and son calm down, let's talk about business."

Wang Zimo yelled, Zhang and his son finally stopped fighting, Wang Zimo poured wine for the two of them, and said: "Drink a glass first, calm down the anger, calm down the shock."

The three of them drank a glass together, and Xiaoliang quickly filled it up for the three of them.Holding the wine glass, Wang Zimo asked, "Brother Zhang Fang, tell me, what is the current constitution of the head office?"

Zhang Fang took a look at Zhang Bucai, took a deep breath, and said, "The small one is useless, all the affairs of the main store are handled by the shopkeeper Wang Da, and the young one has stayed in the main store for two months, and there is nothing wrong with the cabinet. More than half a point."

"Promise!" Zhang Bucai was still angry, seeing that his son was so useless, he was about to scold him again.

Wang Zimo pressed his hand to Zhang Bucai, and asked: "Stop talking about these silly things, I know how much you have."

"Young master is asking questions, don't hide anything, say as much as you want!" Zhang Bucai scolded.

Zhang Fang took a sip of wine, the grievance on his face disappeared, and was replaced by calmness in an instant, he stood up and said loudly: "Master, the account of the main store is different from that of other stores, because there are more 'VIP cards', the discrepancies in this account It gets complicated. On weekdays, Wang En keeps his own account books, but he can’t understand the little ones he wrote. The little ones have been secretly checking in and out of the kitchen for the past two months, and kept their own accounts with the money on the cabinet.”

Wang Zimo took over Zhang Fang's ledger, and Zhang Bucai got up immediately, and found out the head office's ledger for nearly two months from the pile of ledgers, and checked the two books for comparison.

"Master, the daily expenses of the main store are fine. Every time at the end of the month, Wang En will ask Xiao to do the bookkeeping. He is not greedy at all. But..."

"Go ahead." Wang Zimo's face turned serious, knowing that this time there was something to be said.

"However, the account of the 'VIP card' is not correct. Wang En did not record the income of the 'VIP card' every day, only at the end of each month."

That's right, Wang Zimo has already seen the accounts of the main store very clearly, and this is where the problem arises.

"Do you know why he did this?" Wang Zimo asked, but she already had a plan in mind.

"I checked it secretly. Wang En took the money from the 'VIP card' and took it outside to lend money." Zhang Fang endured the humiliation for so long, and finally it was time to vent his anger. The buddy knows it, I heard that there were two beggars who lent money to Wang En, and I was so incompetent that I couldn't find out who the two beggars were."

Zhang Bucai handed over the account book, pointed at the end of the last month, and said, "Master, look, it really is a foodie."

In fact, Wang Zimo didn't need to look at it, she knew all the accounts by heart, she unconsciously turned the wine glass in her hand, and said calmly: "Xiaoliang, go and call Wang Fulai."
