Old things in Nancheng

Yanguan County is the land of the Wang family. Wang Fulai, who came back to Yanguan County, was like a fish in water. He had a long-lost smile on his face after receiving Wang Zimo's orders. The sword was hidden, and it was finally time for my old Wang to make a move.Bringing guards, Wang Fulai rushed to the main store.

Interrogation and torture is Wang Fulai's specialty. This kind of dirty work can't dirty the master's hands. Let me, old Wang, do it for me. The master leaves troubles for the future, otherwise how can he assign a good job to the master.

Wang Fulai has a firm belief and is capable. He claims to be Wang Zimo's confidant, and he has high requirements for the first vote in his professional field. Efficiency and effectiveness must be greatly improved. Wang Zimo and the Zhang family have not finished drinking, Wang Fulai has already brought in three assistants from the head office.

The three guys looked harmless on the outside, but they didn’t know if there was anything inside. They didn’t know Wang Zimo, but they knew that they had such a master. When they heard Wang Fulai’s introduction in a strange way, the three of them limp and collapsed on the ground. Can't help crying.

"Too noisy." Wang Zimo frowned.

"Shut up!" Wang Fulai yelled, and the three of them immediately fell silent, as good as little chickens.

"Whoever speaks first will be punished lightly." Wang Zimo said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, one of them climbed forward first, crying and shouting: "Officer, this matter is not a small matter, it is the shopkeeper Wang who forced the young, the officer is clearly aware."

"How forced, tell me."

"The little one... the young one is a kitchen guy, and he lives in the alley behind the market. Once there was an urgent matter at home, so he and Manager Zhao asked for leave to go home. They saw shopkeeper Wang in the back alley of the market. Bao Yinzi was given to two beggars, the younger one was caught by shopkeeper Wang, and shopkeeper Wang forced the younger one to swear not to tell the story, how could a young fellow dare to argue with the big shopkeeper.”

"Officer, the main store has always been managed by Manager Wang. The lady seldom asks questions these days. Even if the younger ones know about it, they have no place to talk about it." Another employee was in a similar situation to the first one, and hurriedly agreed. .

It seems that Wang Fulai's method is still very effective, there is no need for Wang Zimo to ask questions, what do the guys say, the swearing and swearing have long been forgotten by them in Java, even the one hundred yuan monthly hush money Wang En gave They were all recruited.

"What about you?" Wang Zimo asked when he saw that the other one was silent.

"I was originally a beggar. The shopkeeper Wang asked me to work in the store because of old feelings. I can't remember his kindness."

Wang Zimo raised his eyebrows, Wang Fulai leaned over and asked, "Master, do you still need to investigate? I have a way to find out the identities of those two beggars."

Facing Wang Fulai who was eager to try, Wang Zimo remained silent. Whether to check or not is not a problem, the problem is how Lin Zhilan explained it, and where is the unreadable account book according to Zhang Fang. Those who came to lie to Lin Zhilan should have more questions above.

"Take them down, lock them in the firewood room first, and let Wang Shun send someone to watch." Wang Zimo pondered for a while, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, count how much money he has embezzled so far. This month is seventeen." , I think the half month's money is still outside, let's figure it out together."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll have it tomorrow morning."

Prince Mo paused for a moment, and then said: "Fulai, I'm going to investigate those two beggars tonight. I want to know everything about how much they collected, how much they let go, how much they made, and who they lent to!"

"Good ones, only two days is enough for the small ones." Wang Fulai felt that his value had come out, and he readily agreed.

It was midnight when Wang Zimo returned to the main room, but Lin Zhilan was not asleep, and was reading the account book by lighting a candle.

"Lady, the officer is back."

Caiyue stepped forward to greet her, but Wang Zimo turned sideways to avoid it, and said, "Go get some water, wash up and go to bed."

"Are you tired?" Seeing Wang Zimo approaching, Lin Zhilan hurriedly closed the ledger and put it aside, her movements were a little hasty.

Although the lights in the room were dim, the sharp-eyed Wang Zimo still glanced at Lin Zhilan before she closed the ledger. She found that she couldn't understand the words written on it, but she had seen such words before.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Zimo pretended to be nonchalant, reaching out to read the ledger.

Lin Zhilan quickly took away the account book and asked Bixia to put it away, and said reluctantly: "I have nothing to do, just take a look at it casually, go and wash it, it's late at night, go to bed earlier."

After washing up, the two of them slept on the bed. It was not as bright as the days before. Wang Zimo stared blankly at the ceiling with his head resting on his arms, and Lin Zhilan leaned sideways.

Silent loneliness lingered in the bedroom, and in the darkness, a sigh came.

"Is there something embarrassing?" Lin Zhilan asked softly.

"The tree has dead branches." Wang Zimo said wearily.

Lin Zhilan was silent when she heard the words, and after a long time, she said quietly: "It's a dead branch, so it doesn't matter if you cut it off."

"I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, I would have to do something to my own family. He saved you and helped you anyway."

These words were clear, Wang Zimo never thought of hiding it from Lin Zhilan, and besides, in her eyes, Wang En was nothing.Wang En was only 15 years old, he was a bit careful, but his methods were too tender. Faced with such a person who was not even considered an opponent, Wang Zimo had a lot of ways to deal with it, but she was afraid that Lin Zhilan would feel uncomfortable.

"Since it is wrong, we must be punished. Our family has a great career. If we rely on nepotism, it will be difficult to restrain others in the future." Punishment Wang En, Lin Zhilan will inevitably feel sad, but the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Dealing with them is fatal to their small family that is just starting out.

"He used the money in the shop to lend money outside. I've sent people to check it out. I'll get some news later, let's talk about the right and wrong." Wang Zimo hugged Lin Zhilan into his arms, and she felt comforted by Lin Zhilan's understanding.

The silence continued, and Wang Zimo's mind was full of the ghostly symbols on the account book, and the card in the small bag that Lin Zhilan brought. These words, Wang Zimo will never forget, because they are the proof of Lin Zhilan's birth.

Wang Zimo recalled all the things that happened after Lin Zhilan appeared, inexplicably appearing in the field, amnesia, pregnancy, all kinds of whimsical thoughts, way of thinking and way of life completely different from the world, too many questions, but Lin Zhilan The act of hiding the ledger just now let Wang Zimo know that Lin Zhilan didn't want him to know.

why?The relationship between the two of them can be said to be deep, and they are a couple who have experienced life and death together. What else can't be confessed?Parentage problem?

After much deliberation, Wang Zimo couldn't grasp the point, but she was sure of one thing, Lin Zhilan had recovered her memory!

Lin Zhilan's even breathing came from next to his ears, Wang Zimo sighed, tightened his arms, and sighed softly: "Lan'er, where are you from, you won't leave me, right?"

Lin Zhilan, who was pretending to be asleep, felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard these words, but she couldn't tell the truth about her background, so she didn't dare to say it. Although Wang Zimo has a broad mind, such unbelievable facts are hard to believe.

She only has Wang Zimo and Bao'er left here, she dare not bet.

Lin Zhilan clung to Wang Zimo without a trace, as if responding to Wang Zimo's question, as long as you live up to me, I will definitely not leave.

Early the next morning, Zhang Bucai handed over the overnight calculation to Wang Zimo. After Wang Zimo read it, he pressed the button and did not move. He just asked people to watch Wang En and not allow him to leave the other hospital.

The other shopkeepers came to bid farewell to Wang Zimo early in the morning. Wang Zimo encouraged him, and the shopkeepers withdrew in fear.Last night when they went home, they were basically told by their old man, and they went through a strict account reconciliation review. Everyone knew what it was like to work under Wang Zimo. Regardless of their young age, this skill is very deep.

Wang En's incident undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the shopkeepers, but Wang Zimo's behavior also convinced the shopkeepers. Public and private are clearly distinguished, and rewards and punishments are measured. With such a sensible master, they only need to work hard and be cautious in words and deeds. will rise step by step.They are all people who have survived the catastrophe. They cherish their current life very much and don't want to hurt their families because of their mistakes.

Wang Zimo couldn't stay idle, so after lunch, he led his family to the market, didn't ask anyone to prepare a carriage, only brought a few personal attendants, and walked away.

The Wang Family Courtyard is near the West Market, and the group of people turned two small roads and arrived at the bustling West Market Street.During the war in the north, the official family went south to fix the capital, and Yanguan County, as the first county in the Southern Song Dynasty, was more lively than ever.

Bao'er didn't go out often, but now being held by Wang Zimo, she looked very excited when she saw the streets full of people coming and going, the corners of her mouth were cracked to the back of her head.

"Lan'er, let's go out more often in the future, the child will become petty when kept at home." Wang Zimo was in a bright mood like the sun, talking and laughing with Lin Zhilan beside him.

"I think so too, but if you're not home, I'm busy from morning to night every day. If it wasn't for Yan'er to help take Bao'er, I wouldn't know what to do. Remembering that I was still living in Dongshi, I To sell wontons at a stall, Bao'er had to ask Grandma Yang to help bring them, so I never dared to think that there would still be wontons today."

"I've wronged you, let's go shopping slowly today, we can buy whatever we like, we are not short of money." Wang Zimo squeezed Lin Zhilan's little hand, and said proudly.

Lin Zhilan gave Wang Zimo a blank look, this person hasn't changed at all, when he was poor, he couldn't afford good things, so he bought some pastries and candied fruit for himself, but now that he is rich, he doesn't feel embarrassed.

"Don't worry too much. Our Yanguan County has simple folk customs and prosperous culture and education. There are few unreasonable people. It is not comparable to those in the north. Don't put on a fighting posture." Wang Zimo saw Xiaoliang and the guards. With a serious look, he couldn't help laughing.

"Master, haven't we come to our senses? This place is really a paradise on earth. There is only one county, which is much better than other people's state capitals." Xiao Liang praised.

"Good days are ahead, don't be like a bumpkin, shame on you."

The Wang family's appearance is very high, and they are well-dressed, accompanied by guards, passers-by can't help but look sideways, Wang Zimo looks like no one else, chatting and laughing happily with Lin Zhilan Yan'er.Lin Zhilan is very angry, you can watch it if you like, now she is not someone who can be snatched away by anyone.The face looks gentle, but the little hands are disobedient, always scratching in Wang Zimo's palm.

"It's all sweat, and I'm still pulling!"

Hypocritical!

Walking to the door of a bird's nest shop, Wang Zimo stopped, looked at the familiar signboard, and couldn't help thinking about the past.

"The bird's nest in this store is good, let's go in and have a look."

Seeing that it was a nobleman, the shopkeeper hurriedly led Wang Zimo and others into the private room inside, and the nimble waiter served tea.

"Officer, lady, do you want to buy bird's nest?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile, bowing his hands and bowing his waist.

"That's right, bring some good ones over here and have a look." Wang Zimo said as he gave Bao'er to Lin Zhilan.

"Okay, lady officer, please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper personally treats the guests, which is not a small scale. Thinking back to the beginning, Wang Zimo couldn't help but smile wryly, respecting Luo Yi first and then respecting people, this is indeed the truth.

The shopkeeper acted very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he brought in a few employees, lined up in a row, and introduced himself: "Officer, lady, our store's bird's nest is the first in our county. The bird's nest can be divided into house swallows. Cave swallows can also be divided into swiftlets, swiftlets, and swiftlets. Of these, swiftlets are the best. Please look, this is white swallow, this is blood swallow, and this is yellow swallow."

"Please help the shopkeeper, which one is the best." Wang Zimo bought bird's nests, and the ones brought by the shopkeeper are all complete bird's nest cups, which look very good, not just placed outside.

"Guan Nanshou, the owner of this store has already paid tribute to the top quality swiftlets in his home. The best one in our shop is this blood swallow. Although it is not as good as swiftlets, it is still good, and there are not many in stock. Let me see..." The shopkeeper's hands are very beautiful, and being able to offer bird's nests as a tribute shows that their store's strength and reputation are good.

Wang Zimo nodded and looked at Lin Zhilan.

Lin Zhilan took a look at the blood swallow and said, "It's not bad, I don't know how much it will cost?"

"The people who come to our store are all old customers. The first time the officials and ladies come back, the villain must not disappoint the two of you. Usually, the price is one or two. If the villain wants to ask for friendship, it will be [-] yuan. "The shopkeeper said with a smile like a lucky cat.

"This number is fair, so I'll make you my friend, let's give you two catties."

As soon as Wang Zimo said that, the shopkeeper's smile became even wider, and he hurriedly asked someone to weigh it. Lin Zhilan gave Wang Zimo a look, and felt that throwing out nearly 40 taels of silver so quickly was too prodigal.

Wang Zimo smiled so much that he showed his eight white teeth, got up and asked Xiao Liang to take the bird's nest, took someone with him and went out, when he came to the door, Wang Zimo turned around and said: "It's not the first time I'm here, I think that little brother has already taken the bird's nest." I forgot. Hahahaha!"

The shopkeeper was confused, and turned around to look at the man Wang Zimo pointed to. The man tilted his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who this noble man was.

There is a saying that the poor and the humble have no relatives, and the rich and the honor are full of families.
