A few days later, when the election was completely over, Xue Pan went to visit Wang Yan again.

This time, because Xue Pan didn't ask Wang Yan to do something, he just went to thank him, and it's not good to give too heavy a gift. After thinking about it, he brought two altars of the 60-year-old daughter red that he bought before, and went to visit.

After the last life, Xue Pan understands that sometimes money is not everything, and the more money you get, the better.

The importance of etiquette is business, and the lightness of etiquette is friendship.

Seeing Xue Pan coming again, Wang Yan was still a little surprised, and secretly sighed that this child is not a temperament that is used and thrown away.

This time Wang Yan's attitude towards Xue Pan was much better.

There is not only gratitude to Xue Gong, but also appreciation to Xue Pan.

For Xue Pan's daughter Hong, he opened a pot on the spot, intending to have a few drinks with Xue Pan.

Xue Pan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Wang Yan's attitude to be so kind.

Xue Pan had inquired after returning last time that Wang Yan was not only the third in command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also the new emperor's confidant. In the Forbidden City, he belonged to the upstart, with a bright future ahead of him.

Xue Pan came here this time to simply thank you.Originally, he thought that the biggest possibility was to give the Huadiao to the housekeeper, express his gratitude, and be lucky to see Wang Yan.

As for Wang Yan being the father-in-law, Xue Pan never cared about it.

Who hasn't been there yet?Becoming a eunuch is nothing but a last resort.Being able to occupy a high position is a skill.

"Mr. Xue came to visit late at night, because he thought of Zajia, so he would have a few drinks with Mr. Xue. I just don't know why Mr. Xue is visiting this time?" Wang Yan asked.

"There is nothing else, but to thank Mr. Wang for his efforts in my sister's draft. Boy, toast Mr. Wang." Xue Pan drank the wine and exposed the bottom of the cup as he said.

"Okay, refreshing!" Wang Yan praised loudly.

Although Wang Yan is now sitting in a high position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is an eunuch after all.He met a lot of people, and many of them were flattering in front of him, but looked down upon and contemptuously behind his back.

The young man in front of him was a rare person who looked at him with clear eyes and did not hate himself.

For this alone, Wang Yan felt that this young man was worthy, and besides, he was the child of his benefactor.

Since he admired him, Wang Yan couldn't help asking a few more questions.

"Mr. Xue, I don't know what your plans are in the future?" Wang Yan asked, and he decided that if Xue Pan said that he wanted to continue to do business with the Imperial Merchant, he could help.

"Master Wang, I'm not good enough, I plan to take the imperial examination." Xue Pan said.

Wang Yan couldn't help giving Xue Pan a high look.There are really not many children of merchants who have inherited a wealth of wealth and can still make progress in their own imperial examinations.

"Oh, what do you plan to do with your family's imperial business?" Wang Yan asked with interest.

"My boy can't take care of both. I think I won't do the business of the imperial merchants. The lumber store will continue to operate. After all, it is the painstaking efforts of our ancestors." Xue Pan replied.

"Aren't you afraid that if you fail the imperial examination, don't you fail at both ends?" Wang Yan asked.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. But it's man-made!" Xue Pan said.

He failed in the imperial examination, and both ends failed, Xue Pan thought in his heart, his mother and sister never mentioned this to him.Are they unable to remember?no.

They are just willing to believe in themselves and take a gamble with themselves.

Even if there is a high probability of losing.But because they are their family, they are willing to support themselves.

After drinking, Xue Pan's eyes turned red.

"Ambition!" Wang Yan praised.

But is the imperial examination simple?He took a fancy to Xue Pan, and if one day, Xue Pan wanted to continue to be an imperial merchant, he would give Xue Pan a chance to turn around.

"Whenever you need in the future, you can come to me for help." Wang Yan gave Xue Pan a promise.

Xue Pan answered in a daze.He was a little drowsy now, so he didn't think carefully about the weight of Wang Yan's promise now.

In the end, Xue Pan got drunk.

Wang Yan looked at Xue Pan, shook his head and smiled, it was not a good behavior to be so defenseless.Then arrange for Xue Pan to live in the guest room.

The next day, Xue Pan woke up.Xue Pan blamed himself a little.You must practice more in the future, otherwise you will often get drunk, which is not a good thing.

Wang Yan had already gone to work, Xue Pan and Wang's housekeeper said goodbye and returned to Xue's house.

Now that the small election has come to an end, all the selected women have already entered the palace, so there will be no further twists and turns.

With no worries, Xue Pan started to clean up his own business.

Xue Pan brought Baochai in men's clothes, the accountant, Xu Sheng, Xu Qian, a few servants, and a group of people went to the timber store first.

Xue Pan asked Xu Sheng to gather all the people together, and they all gathered in the backyard of the timber store.Xu Sheng called the shopkeeper Liu Gui into the room alone.

Xue Pan threw the account book on the wooden table, sat on the grand master's chair behind the eight immortals table, put his feet on the table, and acted like a dude.

On the left stood Baochai and Mr. accountant, on the right stood Xu Sheng and Xu Qian, and behind them were six young servants.

Xue Pan had this kind of virtue in his last life, but he is still a little unaccustomed to acting like this in this life.

Xue Pan cleared his throat, and said to the shopkeeper: "Are you going to explain yourself, or do you want me to force you to say it? I advise you, if you have any questions, you can tell them in advance! Don't let me say anything bad. !"

The big shopkeeper looked at this posture, his legs were a little weak, but his heart was more disdainful.My own boss will also be bluffing. The account books I made are so seamless that no one can see the flaws.

The shopkeeper proudly said: "Master, this old man has worked hard in Xue's family for more than [-] years. When he came to Xue's house, the master was not yet born. Over the years, he has made Xue's wooden business to the present state, and has never made any mistakes. , I don’t know what the boss asked the old man to explain.”

Xue Pan raised his eyes and glanced at the shopkeeper, playing with a snuff bottle in his hand, and said leisurely to the accountant beside him: "Mr. Zhang, since he doesn't admit it, you can tell him in detail what he did. , until he is convinced!"

The accountant Zhang answered yes, picked up the account book, took out a thinner account book from his arms, and said to the big shopkeeper one by one: "In March of the year of Dingmao, the account book recorded that a total of Huang's purchases were made. The rosewood wood was 2000 taels of silver, but there was no record of the time when this batch of wood was sold, and there was no trace in the warehouse. In April of the Wuchen year, the wood in Xuepan Timber Garden was felled, and the amount was one thousand catties less than before. It’s insect damage, but according to the account book of the timber garden, the timber delivery is the same as in previous years. It’s already June..."

Accountant Zhang read one by one, and the shopkeeper broke out in cold sweat.Who would have known that the owner had turned over all the books from more than ten years ago.

When the old boss passed away, I was cautious for three years. Later, seeing that no one was in charge, the little boss was still young, and the annual audit of accounts was not strict, so I indulged my courage and started to make fake accounts bit by bit. Flow into your pocket.

This time the owner was going to Beijing to check the accounts, and the big shopkeeper also made preparations. He evened out the accounts of the last three years, and made the accounts seamless.He had already inquired about it, and the little boss was just an ignorant dude, how could he understand the rules and regulations of doing business, these were enough to fool him.

Seeing Xiaodong's house today, the big shopkeeper still felt that he was right. This is a young boy who doesn't know much about the world, and he thought it would be good to bring more people.

Who knows, this time the little boss actually checked the account back to ten years ago.

This time I'm done!

The shopkeeper directly knelt on the ground and begged: "Boss, since the little one has no credit and has hard work, please forgive this little one, and the young one must work hard in the future!"

This little boss has a tender face, and he probably has a soft heart. If he cries and begs, maybe this matter will pass.

Xue Pan put the snuff bottle on the table, and said with a half-smile: "So, do you recognize it?"

The big shopkeeper wanted to deny it, but he looked at the unfinished account books in the accountant's hand, and the vicious boy who followed behind the little boss said dejectedly: "I admit it, I just ask the boss to give me another chance." He raised his head and said expectantly, "These business contacts are handled by the small ones. Without the small ones, I'm afraid some things will be difficult to handle."

"Let's not talk about these, you come here first, and put the things you know." Xue Pan said, turning his head to Xu Xusheng.

Xu Sheng took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and on the paper was clearly written the treasurer's private pockets. Some of them had been read by the cashier, and others had not been read. He handed it to the big treasurer and said, "Look carefully. Look, have you been wronged?"

The shopkeeper's head was sweating layer upon layer, and his eyes were a little blurred. He wiped it off a few times, and read the paper. Although it was not complete, he also checked his own affairs thoroughly.The shopkeeper's legs went limp, and he sat on the ground slumped. This little shopkeeper came prepared.

He couldn't bear all the crimes by himself: "Master, this was not done by a small person, Liu Chang and Yang Pu also had a part in it."

Liu Chang is the second shopkeeper of the timber store, and Yang Pu is responsible for the transportation of the timber.

"Really?" Xue Pan asked nonchalantly, "You write down their affairs and confront them later. Whoever owns it is theirs. If you didn't do it, you won't be wronged."

He said and motioned Xu Sheng to give the pen and paper to the big shopkeeper.

The big shopkeeper didn't dare to sit down, so he knelt in front of the table and wrote down the things on it one by one, how much each of them divided, and the writing was clear.After being signed by Xu Sheng, he was pushed into the wing and locked up.

In the same way, the shopkeeper, Liu Chang and Yang Pu met in the wing room, pointing at each other, and finally sat down dejectedly, and it was all over.

The shopkeeper thought that he was the shopkeeper hired by the Xue family, not a servant of the Xue family, and the Xue family had no right to lynch him.This time I planted myself, and I can't continue in this line of work for the time being.

However, in these years, I have also bought a lot of property, and the things I have embezzled have been paid off at a profit under my hands, money begets money, and I have made a lot of money.

The Xue family held on to it, so they returned what they had embezzled, and went back to their hometown to start a small business and become a rich man.After a few years, the rumors have subsided, and maybe I can open my own lumber shop.

The shopkeeper gradually settled down.
