After returning from the bookstore that day, Bai Shu didn't go there for several days.

On this day, he had nothing to do, so he went to the Qionglu Bookstore again, wanting to see how many of the thirty volumes of story books were left.

But as soon as he entered the bookstore, he was stopped by the guy, and he pulled him to the back and said: "My brother, why did you take so long to come, my master is so anxious to find you."

Bai Shu was a little surprised, he had already paid for the production cost of the book in advance, the store should not lose money because it cannot be sold, why is it so anxious?

Bai Shu followed the waiter to the tea room, and met Mr. Jin, the owner of the shop. When Mr. Jin saw Bai Shu, his face was overjoyed, and he said, "Brother, you've come! Mr. Lin's story books are selling very well." , I want to print one hundred more copies, what do you think?"

After speaking, Mr. Jin took out 60 taels of silver and handed it to Bai Shu and said, "This is the reward for selling books last time. You can just give it to Mr. Lin Mo."

Last time, Lin Shuyu's book was sold at a price of four taels of silver. After deducting the cost, it was half a share with Qionglu Bookstore, and he made a profit of 60 taels of silver.

It's just that he paid 30 taels for the cost of printing the book last time. Based on this calculation, Lin Shuyu only earned 30 taels after writing the book for several months.

But the moment he got the money, Bai Shu was very happy in his heart, happy for Lin Shuyu.

Although it is only 30 taels, the book has been sold and needs to be reprinted, which shows that the book is not poorly written, but actually someone reads it.

Even if he agreed to Mr. Jin's request, he just proposed this time, and the cost cannot be paid by him in advance.

After all, this book was bought by someone, so it will not lose money, and the cost of printing the book should also be paid by the store.After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Jin agreed.

Bai Shu left the bookstore and did not go back directly, but went to the jewelry store.

Xie Ling went to the jewelry store in the afternoon, and now it's five o'clock, so I can go back with him.

The carriage stopped at the door of the store, and Bai Shu got out of the car, but immediately frowned.

There is no other reason, but because this jewelry shop is surrounded by many passers-by, shopkeeper Wang and all the assistants are also standing at the door, with anxious faces.

Bai Shu broke through the crowd and walked into the shop.When the shopkeeper Wang saw Bai Shu, his complexion changed, and he immediately came over and said, "Young master, go and have a look. There is a problem in the store today, but it involves Lord Wei Hou's family. It is really not easy to offend. The woman has already After a long time of trouble, I was just invited by Young Master Ling to the backyard."

Hearing that it was Wei Houye's family, Bai Shu was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little baffled.

The Xie family and the Wei family have always been on good terms, Mrs. Wei just came to the Xie family a few days ago and had a great chat with him, how could such a thing happen?

When Bai Shu came to the backyard, he heard a woman arguing from a distance in the tea room: "That is a token of love given to me by my husband-in-law, it is so precious, but now it is lost, but you are evading it, it is simply a lie." Too many people."

Speaking of which, when Wei Jiangshi found out that her pearl hairpin was lost at her natal home, it was still the most cherished thing in her life, she felt anxious and angry at once, and she was about to shed tears.

Originally, she was angry in her stomach, and she was somewhat dissatisfied with Xie Ling, but thinking that the pearl hairpin was lost at his place, she became even more angry.

"Thanks to your aunt still praising that Xie Ling in every possible way in front of me." Wei Jiangshi said angrily: "Now that this beautiful jewelry has arrived at his place, it is missing something, and I don't know if it was stolen by him. .”

"Mother is so confused!" Wei Ying hurriedly said: "The Xie family is a big family, and the family property is countless. His family's first brother, no matter what, he can't take our things. Or accidentally left it in the store , let's go find it."

After hearing what Wei Ying said, Wei Jiangshi also felt that what he said was a bit too much, but the anger in his heart was still incomprehensible.And that pearl hairpin is her favorite, so she nodded and said: "Then go there right away, if you can find it back, that's fine, if you can't find it, I will ask his family to give me an explanation!"

So Wei Jiangshi took Wei Ying straight to the jewelry store, and as soon as he entered, he aggressively called the shopkeeper Wang over to question him, saying that he had lost one of the boxes of jewelry he brought for inspection a few days ago.

Shopkeeper Wang thought for a while, then remembered that Mr. Wei came over this morning and took away a box of jewelry, so he said to Wei Jiang: "My lady is Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei took away a box of jewelry today." A box of jewellery, but he did not say that there is a difference in the number of jewellery, Madam should ask him first to see if there is any misunderstanding? Maybe, Mr. Wei took one out first."

Shopkeeper Wang's words were not malicious at all, but it was like igniting a firecracker, smashing Wei Jiang's hornet's nest.

She immediately became excited when she heard the words: "The jewelry belongs to me and not his. What's the use of him taking it, is he deliberately angry with me as a mother? I put my jewelry in your shop, and now I lost a piece of jewelry." , but you all said that my son took it, are you still trying to provoke my relationship with my son?"

Shopkeeper Wang was overwhelmed by a big hat.

At this time, the entrance of the store also attracted many people to watch, commenting on the store, and some people seemed to suspect what they were doing in it.

Shopkeeper Wang was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to vent it.

He can't afford to offend the Wei family, but if this continues, the jewelry store's business will be disturbed by them.

It happened at this moment that Xie Ling heard the movement and came out from the backyard. After meeting Wei Jiangshi and Wei Ying, he recognized them and saluted them.

When shopkeeper Wang saw him coming, he told him what had happened.

Xie Ling heard the words and said: "Madam Wei, this box of jewelry was inspected by Xie himself. Xie also wrote a list, checked everything and put it in, and none of them was lost. Madam, please calm down and recall it carefully , but accidentally landed somewhere."

Naturally, Wei Jiangshi had also met Xie Ling, and he didn't have any ill feelings towards him at first, but looking at him now, he felt that everything was annoying.

Xie Ling wore a magenta robe. Although the color was fresh and tender, the style was simple and unadorned. It was really for the convenience of writing.

However, in Wei Jiangshi's eyes, every move is full of vixen, just like that vixen, seducing her precious son to separate from her heart.

"You came just in time." Wei Jiangshi saw Xie Ling and said, "My Qiong'er said that this jewelry was inspected by you personally. Now that it is lost, your shop will turn its face and deny anyone. How can there be such a reason?"

"You said nothing was lost, but when I got it in my hand, one piece was missing when I opened it. How can you explain? Your shopkeeper also said that I, Qiong'er, took it away, and my son used mother's pearl hairpin as a treasure. What? Do you think I believe in you or my son?"

Wei Jiangshi's sentences were thorny, and his speech was very fast. In the presence of the public, Xie Ling's face was flushed, and he didn't know what to respond.

He wasn't the type to argue well.Looking at the many people surrounding the store at this time, with an expression of watching the show, their eyes fell directly on him, and cold sweat broke out from behind.

Xie Ling felt aggrieved, but he didn't want to shed tears here, so he suppressed his sourness and said: "Madam Wei, the pearl hairpin you mentioned is a five-color pearl hairpin, but after I checked it, it was put in a box of."

The jewelry that Xie Ling inspected personally has a certain memory in his heart.Moreover, Xie Ling was quite impressed with the ingenious workmanship of the colorless southern pearl hairpin, and even remembered how much the pearl hairpin was worth.

After hearing the words, Wei Jiangshi was even more sure that the pearl hairpin was lost by Xie Ling, and even suspected that it was taken by him, otherwise it was not his jewelry, how could he remember it so clearly?I can also tell exactly what the pearl hairpin looks like.

Immediately, he cried and said: "You guys are really deceiving people too much. I, Qiong'er, believed you, so I put the box in the store. Now it is gone, but I shirk and deny it. If you took something else, I won't say anything about it." What's the matter, but I just took that pearl hairpin away. It was my husband-in-law's promise to me, how precious it is..."

The grievance and resentment accumulated in Wei Jiangshi's heart for a long time came out vigorously, and he cried very sincerely.

Xie Ling was in a panic, thinking that the pearl hairpin was of great significance to Wei Jiangshi, so he said to Wei Jiangshi, "Madam Wei, follow me to the backyard first. Or I'll look for it later, if But it was left in the store, and I would not keep it private."

Xie Ling is an inexperienced person, so once he said this, he was off the hook.

Not only did Wei Jiangshi believe that the pearl hairpin must have been hidden by him, but even the outside spectators were a little more suspicious of Xie's jewelry store.

Shopkeeper Wang was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, but he couldn't say anything more, he could only watch Wei Jiangshi and the others follow Xie Ling into the backyard.

Xie Ling searched a few times in the tea room, and then in the place where he read the accounts, but naturally he couldn't find anything.

However, Wei Jiangshi was unwilling to let go, clamoring for Xie Ling to return the pearl hairpin to her, and must give her an explanation.

As soon as Bai Shu came, he heard Wei Jiangshi's aggressive rebuke to Xie Ling. He frowned and said to the shopkeeper Wang: "Now go to the Wei family and find Mr. Wei who took the box. If If there was any misunderstanding, it was just explained on the spot.”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Wang took the car to go to Wei's house, at this moment Bai Shu pushed open the door of the tea room and walked behind Xie Ling.

"Sister-in-law." When Xie Ling saw Bai Zhu, his nose soured, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes, which almost fell down.

"Useless guy." Bai Shu gave him a look of resentment and said, "If you didn't take it, you didn't take it. There is nothing to cry about. Today's matter, you handled it very improperly, and you will have to eat it later." It's wise to grow up."

"Yes..." Xie Ling nodded in shame when he heard the words, and suppressed the tears in his eyes.

What Bai Shu said is right, it is useless for him to cry now, he only hopes that today's matter can be resolved satisfactorily.

Seeing Bai Zhu approaching, Wei Jiangshi couldn't help restraining himself a bit.

Bai Shu is Xie Huaiyu's main wife, and he manages so many properties in his hands.

He was tall and tall, and just standing there gave off a menacing aura, which made Wei Jiangshi a little frightened and dared not yell at him casually.

When Wei Ying attended the banquet before, she already had a good impression of Bai Shu, and she begged him to hang up a wishing note for her.When I saw him today, I wished him well, and said hello, Brother Bai crisply.

"Madam Wei..." Bai Shu nodded towards Wei Ying, then bowed to Wei Jiangshi and said, "Madam lost her pearl hairpin today, although it was not lost in our Xie's shop, but Ling'er charged Mr. Wei in advance. We didn’t ask him to sign for confirmation when the jewelry box was returned, and we didn’t let him check the signature when returning the jewelry box, but it was our fault.”

"It is our fault that we did not act thoroughly enough to attract Madam's suspicion. Although we did not lose this pearl hairpin today, I, the Xie family, would like to compensate Madam Wei for ten times the loss." Bai Shu said: Madam Wei's beloved pearl hairpin, I can ask you to draw a picture, and I will ask someone to make another one that is exactly the same as an apology, what does Madam Wei think?"

Bai Shu's approach this time can be said to be full of sincerity.No matter how unreasonable Wei Jiangshi made trouble, it really couldn't be justified.

It's just that she lost her beloved thing, even if she lost the exact same one, and lost money, she still felt uncomfortable, so she said: "Brother Bai is very sensible, I don't care if I deal with it like this." It can be said. It’s just that you have to strictly discipline your brother, so as not to cause any trouble in the future.”

Xie Ling was so ashamed by the words, he curled up his fingertips and put them down again, feeling as uncomfortable as if he had been fried.

Bai Shu asked Wei Jiangshi to draw a picture, and asked about the value of the pearl hairpin.

Wei Jiangshi thought about it, but he didn't open his mouth, and only told the price Xie Ling gave, which was only eighty gold.

After hearing this, Bai Shu asked Wei Jiangshi to wait in the shop in the front hall.After a long time, he came out with the 8000 taels of silver notes and said, "Madam Wei, here is the 8000 taels of silver notes, worth [-] gold. The pearl hairpin that I promised you to redo will be delivered to the mansion in a few days." superior."

He deliberately did this in the store, just to be in front of the passers-by.

Sure enough, when those onlookers heard that the Xie family not only agreed to make a new pearl hairpin, but also paid ten times the amount of silver, they couldn't help but feel that the Xie family was really reputable, and they felt more at ease about this jewelry business.

Wei Jiangshi was somewhat satisfied with the compensation.

8000 taels of silver is about the same as the entire net worth of her three bedrooms.

If it was her Qionger's dowry, she would not be ashamed to marry such a good girl.

Xie Ling didn't expect that he would inspect the jewelry for the Wei family for free, and it would cause such a catastrophe.

8000 taels of silver, the jewelry store's profits for several months have been lost.

Seeing Bai Shu coming in, Xie Ling said in a hoarse voice: "Sister-in-law, the lost silver should be deducted from my monthly silver and dowry."

Bai Shu heard the words but said: "How much monthly silver do you have, what deductions will be deducted. Besides, this shop is your dowry, and if it is lost, it is also your money. You can feel sorry for yourself."

"It's just that today's matter needs to teach you a lesson." Bai Shu said: "In the future, whenever someone wants to inspect jewelry, he needs to take out each piece for registration, and he will sign for confirmation. When leaving the store, especially Be careful, count the number before signing and leaving, and don't be taken advantage of by others."

Xie Ling nodded and said: "I'm too reckless, I just think it's the Wei family's jewelry, so there must be no problem."

"When doing business, don't act emotionally, and don't be careless just because you have a good relationship with them." Bai Shu said, "Let's go, let's go back."

The two of them had just walked outside the store when they bumped into shopkeeper Wang. He hurried over with Wei Qiong, but he missed it with Wei Jiangshi just now.

"Young Master Wei." Bai Shu greeted Wei Qiong.

Xie Ling glanced at Wei Qiong, feeling complicated, he didn't even say hello, but just nodded.

"Sorry, I didn't know my mother would come here. I didn't take the pearl hairpin, but when I went home, the box was accidentally dropped, and the jewelry was scattered all over the floor. Maybe it was at that time that I accidentally dropped it." One thing is missing." Wei Qiong quickly explained, but her eyes kept looking in Xie Ling's direction.

"Mr. Wei came a step late, and the matter has been settled." Bai Shu smiled politely at him and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it. The friendship between our two families is nothing more than a piece of jewelry."

Although Bai Shu's words were nothing, it was actually a bit of satire to Wei Qiong's mother, who went to Xie's shop to make a fuss for a piece of jewelry worth dozens of gold.

Wei Qiong blushed, and quickly apologized again and again, but Bai Shu asked him to go back, and left with Xie Ling.

"Brother Xie—" Wei Qiong called out behind Xie Ling, Xie Ling stopped and looked back at him.

Wei Qiong took a few steps forward, and said falteringly: "The fault of this matter is all my fault. I'm really sorry. I..."

"Young Master Wei is serious." Xie Ling interrupted him, and said in a detached way: "I didn't take it to heart, and I also have shortcomings."

After speaking, Xie Ling left without looking back.Wei Qiong was left alone, watching the carriage drive away, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

Wei Qiong returned home in a daze, only to find that his mother and younger sister had returned.

He called Wei Ying over to inquire, only to find out that Wei Jiangshi not only made a big fuss, but also asked someone to pay for the pearl hairpin, and took ten times the compensation.

Hearing this, Wei Qiong couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to Wei Jiang's room and said, "Mother! The pearl hairpin was lost because of me, how could you have the nerve to go to Xie Ling's place and ask for the hairpin from Xie's family?" Zihe compensation! Ten times the compensation, 8000 taels of silver, and you dare to get it back. This story has spread in the public, do you still want to lose face? My Wei family's face has been completely lost by you! "

Wei Jiangshi heard Wei Qiong say that about her, and argued with him again.

But Wei Qiong forced her to take out the banknotes. Wei Jiangshi refused, and sat on the ground holding the money box and crying: "I gave birth to you in October and raised you, but now you don't know what to do. For a The brothers outside are so unfilial to their mother—”

But half an hour later, Mrs. Wei and Lord Wei also heard about it.

Marquis Wei became angry for a while, wishing that his younger brother would divorce Wei Jiangshi back home.

Mrs. Wei also burst into flames, not knowing what kind of insanity this younger brother and sister in her family had suffered to do such a thing.

She and Master Hou had put in so much effort to establish a relationship with Xie Jia, but it was all in vain when Wei Jiangshi messed it up.

After Marquis Wei severely reprimanded Wei Han, Wei Han returned to the courtyard, and said to Wei Jiang, "How did I treat you in the past? How did my eldest brother and sister-in-law treat you? Although you and I are three-bedroom, But the Wei family has never treated the two of us badly. It is good for you now, you have offended the Xie family just because of your own momentary anger!"

"You are not allowed to take a penny of the Xie family's money today, and you have to come to the door to make an apology. If you don't want to, then my Wei family can't tolerate you as a daughter-in-law. I will immediately give you a letter of divorce, and you can take the money yourself. where to go!"

Wei Han and Wei Jiangshi have a very good relationship, and this is the first time they have spoken so seriously.

Wei Jiangshi was really scared at this time, crying out of breath.

She promised to return the silver to Xie Ling, and agreed to go to the Xie family to apologize, but her resentment grew even stronger.

Wei Yu was in the courtyard, and after hearing the gossip about Sanfang from the maid, her expression was calm, and the smile on her mouth was fleeting.

The Xie family is now in such a quarrel with the Wei family that they will not marry the family's first brother to the Hou's mansion.

There are only a few men of the right age in Beijing, if Wei Qiong is missed, Xie Ling will not be able to choose such a young talent with an outstanding family background.

Early the next morning, Wei Jiang took the money and went to Xie's family to make an apology.

Bai Shu was a little surprised to meet Wei Jiangshi.

However, Bai Shu probably guessed that it must be something that Marquis Wei and Mrs. Wei did that made Wei Jiangshi change like this.

The Xie family has a good relationship with the Wei family, so he will not give the Wei family this face.So he took the 8000 taels of silver again, but he still promised to make an identical one for Wei Jiangshi for the pearl hairpin.This is to give her a step up, and also to save the face of the two families.

After Wei Jiangshi went back, he told the Wei family about this matter, and Weihou and Mrs. Wei were relieved.

This is how Bai Shu dealt with it, that is, no longer care about it.The friendship between them and Xie's family will not be broken because of this incident.

Now that this matter has come to this, although it has finally been wiped out, there is a gap between Wei Jiangshi and the big family of the Wei family.

Besides, Xie Ling was also relieved when he heard that Wei Jiangshi had returned the compensation.

It's just that he suffered a big loss after all, so he has to be more cautious in his heart.

In the afternoon, Xie Ling went to the shop, and not long after he sat down, he heard that the shopkeeper Wang came over, saying that the young master of the Wei family was looking for him.

Xie Ling had a quarrel with the Wei family, and he didn't know what this Mr. Wei was doing again.

In his heart, he couldn't be the same as before, but he couldn't avoid it, so after a little thought, he still invited Wei Qiong in.

Wei Qiong was brought into the tea room, and Xie Ling waited for a while before walking over.

He walked to the door, and just pushed the door, but the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside. It turned out that Wei Qiong was standing at the door, heard the movement outside, and came to open the door.

When Xie Ling didn't pay attention, he met Wei Qiong's eyes.

Wei Qiong is handsome, although not as good-looking as Xie Huaiyu, but also refined and refined.

Xie Ling's shadow was reflected in his eyes, and his eyes were scorching, as if a flame burst out from them.

It made Xie Ling feel like a light was on his back, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Hello, Mr. Wei." Xie Ling took a step back subconsciously, bowed to Wei Qiong and said, "Lingmu's pearl hairpin has not been made yet. Today I sent someone to send the blueprint to the craftsman, and wait until it is made. At least It will take half a month, so there is no need for Mr. Wei to be so anxious."

Xie Ling's words made Wei Qiong feel ashamed.He backed away a few steps, made way for Xie Ling, and said, "Brother Xie, don't laugh at me anymore. It was my fault at first, so I dared to mention that pearl. I came here today to apologize to Brother Xie." of."

Wei Qiong went back to look for it for a long time yesterday, but unfortunately she couldn't find where the pearl hairpin went.

There are many servants in the Wei family, if the pearl hairpin had been picked up by one of the servants who didn't know where it went at that time, it would definitely not be handed over again.

He found out that Xie Ling would go to the jewelry store every afternoon, so he made up his mind to come here to apologize to him.

Hearing that Wei Qiong came here to apologize, Xie Ling was also taken aback, feeling that what he just said seemed inappropriate.

Although Wei Qiong's mother was not very polite to him, Wei Qiong has always been a modest gentleman.Xie Ling spoke like this just now, and he was really angry with him.

Xie Ling thought for a while, then let go of his knots, and said to Wei Qiong: "Young Master Wei came here to apologize today, it is too polite. This matter is just a misunderstanding, presumably it's just that Zhuchai treated Ling's mother too much. It's important, so I'm in a hurry. I didn't take it to heart, and I begged Mr. Wei not to take it to heart."

When Wei Qiong heard this, there was a flash of light in his eyes.

The original favor towards Xie Ling increased a bit.

His heart was pounding, every move of Xie Ling seemed to be haloed in his eyes.

He touched his sleeve, then took out a comb from his sleeve pocket, handed it over and said, "This... This comb is my apology to you. I think this pattern is very cute, and it matches you."

Xie Ling was startled, and saw that Wei Qiong was holding a comb made of giant clams in his hand. The comb was as white as jade, and on it was a chubby jade rabbit, with a moment of sparkling red agate inlaid in its eyes.

Tridacna is a Nanyang product. To make such a large comb, the giant clam needs to be more than a hundred years old.This comb was bought from Wanjia's shop, and it is quite expensive.

His face turned red all of a sudden, and he hastily refused: "It's inconvenient for Xie Ling to take such valuables, Mr. Wei should take them back."

In addition to the fact that this comb is valuable, it is also because in the Daxuan, when a man gives a woman or brother a comb, it really means that the hair is united and the comb is a gift.

Wei Qiong suddenly gave him this comb at this time, which made Xie Ling panic, not knowing what his intention was...
