Poor monks do not break the precepts

Man Tingfang is far away in the capital, far away from Gyeongju Mansion, Mr. Bian Ji rarely comes here in person, could it be that Man Tingfang has been running out of money recently, he didn't plan to come this trip.Mr. Bianji listened to the din of people in the small hall outside the house, flipped through the account books silently and didn't get angry, just waiting for Xu Sheng to come.

The girl sitting opposite to Mr. Bian Ji was around the left and right, she was delicate and lovely, her frowning eyes were pitiful.She held Zhu Ling's hand timidly, and said in a low voice, "Sister..."

Zhu Ling smiled softly, and lightly embraced the girl's slender shoulders, "Sister Baguio, don't be afraid. After the landlord comes, you can explain clearly. The landlord is not a person who doesn't discriminate and doesn't ask why." Zhu Ling Picked some walnuts, and pushed the small dish containing walnut meat to Mr. Bian Ji's elbow, "It's too much trouble to read the account books, Mr. Bian Ji, take a break."

Mr. Bian Ji's frowning expression was very frightening, and even Shi's mother, who was used to seeing big scenes, didn't dare to say more, she laughed beside her and said, "Young lady said so."

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Zhu Ling winked at Mr. Bianji, and said with a smile, "Mr. Bianji looked at you, and almost made Bi Yao sister cry."

Mr. Bian Ji looked at the money that was losing money like running water, his face couldn't get better, and he said forcefully: "If you can't give a good reason, wait until the landlord comes to make her cry."

Bi Yao looked more and more pitiful, threw herself into Zhu Ling's arms, wept softly, "Sister Zhu Ling, you know Man Tingfang's situation, sister help me."

Zhu Ling patted Bi Yao on the back, smiled lightly and said, "Yes, don't worry, my sister is here. I will explain it clearly to you."

Right now Man Tingfang is busy, no one has noticed when and where Xu Sheng came in, and when did he arrive outside the wing of Hualou.Xu Sheng looked in from the half-closed door for a while, and a warm smile gradually climbed to the corners of his lips and brows, then he slowly pushed the door open and said in a relaxed tone: "What's going on in the room?" He looked at Baguio in astonishment, "How could Baguio cry so much?"

Mr. Bian Ji used gravity to throw the account book in front of Xu Sheng, and said aggressively: "The landlord will know it after reading it."

The account book Xusheng sent someone to copy it in private half a month ago, and it was the account book that had been read long ago.Because of the serious deficit, he asked Mr. Bianji to act in this play. Before Baguio had time to change the account books, he caught her off guard and gave her a good beating to make her calm down recently.

Xu Sheng flipped through the account book slowly, as if looking at it carefully, his brows frowned more and more tightly.After a long time, he finished flipping through the two account books, sipped hot tea, and said slowly, "I read Man Tingfang's notes before I came here. The business has not been bleak in the past two months. How come the income is not as good as before? Now it is not as good as it used to be. To the point where we can’t make ends meet, it’s really unreasonable.”

While talking, Xu Sheng stared at Baguio, completely ignoring Madam Shi, after all, it was Mama Shi who was in charge of Man Tingfang on the surface, but it was Biguio who actually controlled her.

Baguio sobbed slightly, calmed down for a long time, and said aggrievedly: "A while ago, the Qinchun Garden was flooded across the river, and the loss was heavy. The sisters in the workshop felt pitiful, so everyone discussed funding to help Mama Gan rebuild. Xiang Saixue, Qingping Lehe has the best business here, so donate more land.”

Mr. Bianji slapped the account book with four fingers and said angrily, "That's not the case."

Baguio trembled in fright, I saw pity in her slightly wet eyes, and said timidly: "Recently, many girls in Man Ting Fang have married from good families, and the courtyard always gives them some money according to the old routine, and a lot of money comes out. And the newly rescued girl needs to be educated by her husband, which adds up to a lot of expenses. Man Tingfang also paid a lot of money for many activities held in the workshop a while ago."

These items are all recorded in the account, and it is not known how much of them is credible.Xu Sheng took a few mouthfuls of fresh melons and fruits, and said doubtfully: "These are the ones that should be flowered. It's okay to follow the old rules. At Qinchun Garden, don't worry if you have money that needs to be given. In the past few months, there are still 10 Where did the ten thousand taels of silver go, there is no record."

Zhu Ling swooped lightly with the ball of the mountain, and said with a smile: "Did the landlord forget to ask us to buy a large amount of Luoyue Yanxiang? At that time, Han Gongchun happened to be unable to move out the money. I borrowed three taels like Bi Yao's sister." More than 7 taels were distributed to the sisters of Hualou in Gyeongju Prefecture and the surrounding areas. The capital city is not Gyeongju Prefecture, so a small amount of money can be spent. It is normal to spend [-] taels."

Xu Sheng responded as if enlightened, he hurriedly said with a smile: "I forgot, Mr. Bian Ji, what questions do you have?"

Mr. Bian Ji had a slightly ashamed look on his face, his raised eyebrows gradually flattened, and he had a friendly smile typical of businessmen on his face, and said, "Miss Zhu Ling didn't tell me, and I didn't remember this matter."

Zhu Ling helped Bi Yao, who was sitting crookedly next to her, and rolled her eyes, "Mr. Bian Ji turned his face faster than the summer, plum and rainy season, and made sister Bi Yao cry."

Xu Sheng put on a pleasant smile, and distinguished Mr. Bian Ji: "After all, the family is big and the business is big. If Mr. Bian Ji doesn't take care, one day someone will eat the inside and outside of the house, and steal the money for himself, and the others will be annoyed to death. "

Zhu Ling pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't know about others, but sister Biguio will definitely not do such a traitorous thing."

Baguio is petite and slender, and usually speaks in a low voice, very well-behaved, "Biyao's life was saved by Mr., how dare you do something wrong to Mr.?"

"In recent years, you have been loyal in everything you do. I have seen everything in my eyes. How could I suspect you." Xu Sheng had no intention of recovering 10 taels or more, but he did not want to give away more.Picking up a pen to add the account, closing it and handing it over to Mr. Bianji, Xu Sheng said: "Man Tingfang and Han Gong have a lot of things to do, and it is really impossible for them to take care of them. Qingzhou Prefecture is easy to say, it is easy for you to go back and forth. The capital is far away and inconvenient I often go back and forth. Anyway, there are a lot of properties in the capital, so it would be convenient for Mr. Bianji to find a capable accountant and assign him to manage the properties in the capital and nearby."

Mr. Bianji thought for a while, his face was full of embarrassment, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he said happily: "The landlord mentioned that I do have someone who is very capable in doing things. A while ago, I thought that I couldn't bury talents, but there was no place to reuse them." Him, just send him."

Xu Sheng smiled lightly and looked at Mr. Bian Ji who performed freely, thinking that this little old man had clearly planned it, so he was so natural and flawless.After pondering for a long time, he nodded and said with a smile, "That's good." After that, he looked at Zhu Ling and Bi Yao again, "Do you feel any inconvenience with this arrangement?"

Zhu Ling smiled brightly, and jumped ahead and said, "It can't be better, I'm still annoyed by those accounts all day long."

Bi Yao originally wanted to mention a few words, but he didn't want Zhu Ling to block his words, so it would be better to persuade Xu Sheng to withdraw his proposal.She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I have the same idea as Sister Zhu Ling. Previously, I was in charge of the account and had a heavy burden on my shoulders. Now that my husband has invited someone to help, it will be much easier."

Seeing Baguio's wink, Mother Shi quickly smiled and said, "Sir, it's a good idea, it's just..."

"Mother Shi, but it's okay." Xu Sheng opened the window half a gap, closed his eyes to enjoy the wonderful sound of silk and bamboo downstairs, and said slowly: "Is there any inconvenience?"

"Although sir, this method saves the effort of the Baguio girls, but there are always expenses in the courtyard. If someone else records it, it will be inconvenient to pay and pay."

Mr. Bianji waved his hand, and didn't take Shi's mother's words seriously, "Lao Zhou's house is arranged in Zhaoxingfang opposite Pinglefang. From now on, accounts for satin, wine, cosmetics, etc. will be settled every month, and we will directly let him The owner of the supply will settle with him. As for the special expenses of the girls in the workshop, let Lao Zhou come to deal with the opening of the market every two days, so there is no big problem."

Mother Shi wanted to argue a few more words, but when she saw Biguio's tender eyes looming fiercely, she immediately shut up and did not dare to speak out.Baguio lifted the teapot to help Xu Sheng fill his cup, and said with a smile, "Mr. is thoughtful, so naturally there will be no problem."

Xu Sheng twirled the emerald beads, took the tea from Baguio, put it in front of him, said with a smile: "Go and entertain the guests, you don't need to stay here with us."

When the people left the room, Mr. Bian Ji silently took the teacup in front of Xu Sheng and sniffed it carefully. There was a cold snort in his breath, and he said with a cold smile, "How dare you use such a trick to make someone It's on you, this Baguio can't stay."

"Besides Baguio, there will be others, so it's better to save her life for the time being." Xu Sheng took the purple clay cup and poured the tea stained with acacia poison into the potted plant, "There's no need to kill her now, lest we should startle the snake."

Mr. Bian Ji stroked his beard and nodded, "That's right, she didn't dare to report that she was suspected, otherwise she would have to be an abandoned child."

Xu Sheng fiddled with the jade abacus on the table unconsciously, and said indifferently: "Anyway, she will not earn a future if she follows He Huan Zhai."

Mr. Bian Ji looked worried, and reminded Xu Sheng: "I heard that Baguio will check your identity in secret, and I have some doubts about the name Zhu Ling called you."

Xu Sheng looked sideways at the thriving business outside the window, and said with a smile: "Let her do the investigation, Lian Xin Huiji has been investigating both openly and secretly for many years, but there is no result. If she can figure out my bottom line, she will be really capable."

After looking at Xu Sheng's profile for a long time, Mr. Bian Ji said slowly: "Hehuanzhai is nothing to be afraid of, but what about Xuanji Pavilion? It seems that Mr. Wuqing already knows that the landlord is an incense thief."

"Mr. Bian Ji has good ears and eyes, so he should know what I think." Xu Sheng rubbed the fine cloth on the back of his left hand back and forth with his fingers, as if a warm current flowed through his fingertips, and went straight into his heart.

Mr. Bian Ji had a hint of worry in his brows, but he said softly, "Since the host already cares about it, I won't waste my words."

Xu Sheng calmed down and said lightly: "Don't worry, I will put the ignorant building first in everything, and will never harm the interests of the ignorant building."

Hearing what Xu Sheng said, Mr. Bian Ji shook his head and said: "I understand what the landlord wants. I am not worried that Mr. Wuqing will do something unfavorable to Xuanji Pavilion. I am worried about you, Mr. Wuqing, who has a special status and has a good relationship with him. Trouble will continue."

"Are there still fewer troubles for me?" Xu Sheng raised his head and took a deep breath, pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "It's hard to see him in the future, so let's not talk about it."

Mr. Bian Ji nodded and said, "Where does the landlord plan to go next?"

Xu Sheng said indifferently: "Wuzhi Building will be entrusted to Mr. Bianji to take care of it in the next few months. I have to go and investigate something carefully."

"In a few days, there will be a moonless night every season. Will the landlord personally host it?"

Xu Sheng was slightly taken aback, and clapped his hands and said: "There are a lot of things lately, if you don't remind me, I really forgot. According to the old rules, I will leave it to you. But leave me a vacant room, I may pass by."

"Should I leave a jade token for Miaoshou Kongkonger? It will save him trouble every time he comes to steal it."

Xu Sheng laughed and said: "Don't, if you really give him a jade token, make sure no one will come. He just likes to ask for trouble, so let him go."

It is estimated that when Huai Mingmo wakes up, he has already decided not to see him again, so Xu Sheng hastily said goodbye to Mr. Bian Ji, and jumped out of the window along the street as if he was fleeing.The Pingle Square below was full of voices, and no one noticed Xu Sheng who was wearing a night clothes and scurrying across the tiles.Like a wisp of black smoke drifting past without making a sound, he left the market in twos and threes, and appeared next to the city gate after a while, and passed the suburbs of Beijing after a while.

Just as Xu Sheng expected, when Huai Mingmo woke up, he immediately sent a room of people around him to find Xu Sheng's whereabouts, and he didn't want to delay for a moment.Xinli checked the relationship between Han Gongchun and Man Tingfang more than a month ago, so he went straight to Man Tingfang, but he was a step too late.

Wrapped in black, it is difficult to find someone sitting in the shade of a tree by the river without looking carefully. The rippling river is now half-frozen, and the moonlight like silver frost sprinkles on the ice, revealing bursts of coldness.Xu Sheng sat leaning against Holly behind him, his brows were as indifferent as smoke, and there seemed to be a trace of sentimental sorrow condensed on the brows that would not fade away for a long time.

Xu Sheng seemed to be talking to himself: "You came quickly, I thought I would wait for half an hour."

Chen Xiang walked out slowly from behind Dongqing, was a little startled when he saw Xu Sheng's sad expression, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Mr. .It completely saves me the time of hiding in Tibet, so why don’t you rush here soon?”

Xu Sheng's eyes dimmed, and he sighed slightly: "He must blame me."

Chen Xiang looked down at Xu Sheng's injured left hand, and said with a light smile: "Why bother to deceive yourself and others, the ruthless son will not be angry with you, he is worried that you will not be in time." Ming Mo mourned when he woke up, Chen Xiang resolutely violated the forbidden words, "It would be cruel for the landlord to leave without saying goodbye, both for you and him."

Under the soft moonlight, Xu Sheng raised his jaw slightly, his handsome profile had an indescribable strength, his determination and courage made him shrink back even before the landslide.Looking at the boundless night for a long time, he said in a rare soft voice: "I want to investigate a very dangerous matter, how can I make him suffer."
