"You, you are..."

Zhong Li was wearing a hood. Although her clothes were simple, her temperament was extraordinary. Just standing there, she was quite graceful and graceful.

Qiuyue frowned, and said coldly: "Bold! Don't hurry to meet the master!"

The shopkeepers of the two stores were all bought by the shopkeeper in Renshi. The money that bought these shopkeepers was originally from Mother Zhong, but the deed of selling their bodies was always in the shopkeeper's hands.

The shopkeeper was forging the ledger in the backyard. Hearing the movement, his heart tightened. He quickly put the ledger away and walked out quickly.

His surname was Fang, and he was the cousin of Zhong Li's aunt Fang, Fang Yuanyi.

His eyes turned on Qingsong's face, and fell on Zhang's mother, and said in surprise: "Ah, Zhang, why is your old man here? This kid is really the servant next to Li girl, who just ran over inexplicably. I asked for the ledger and was kicked out by me."

Without waiting for Zhang's mother to speak, he glanced at Zhong Li again in surprise.

Only then did Zhong Li take off her hat. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Mrs. Zhong. Mrs. Zhong was already a famous beauty, but she was better than blue, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.

Fang Yuanyi was dazed for a moment before he said, "It's really girl Li, oh, you've grown so tall! My uncle almost doesn't recognize you anymore. Look at me, I'm so confused, it's really you who brought this little servant here just now? "

When he mentioned Qingsong, his eyes were full of contempt, Zhong Li frowned, and then he called Uncle Fang politely, and said lightly: "It's really me, he has never been to the shop, it's normal that Uncle Fang doesn't know him, and Li has no choice but to After taking this trip in person, can my uncle hand over the ledger now?"

Her eyes were quiet, and there was a hint of oppression in her eyes.

Fang Yuanyi was inexplicably nervous when she saw it. After all, he was a city man, so he quickly calmed down and said, "I've been busy recently, and I haven't had time to register this month's accounts, girl Li, let's wait a few more days. Isn't it only during the Lantern Festival in previous years?"

Zhong Li said politely: "In the past years, it was indeed the Lantern Festival. I remember that it was because the shop was too busy during the festival, and it was too late to do the billing, so it was postponed, right? The shop has not had any business in the past two years, and it has not been in business for several days. When receiving a guest, Uncle Fang should have time to register, right? Or, is business picking up again? Uncle has no time to keep accounts?"

The account book is the diary for that day. No matter how busy you are, you should organize the account book, not to mention that the store is not busy. He didn't remember, but he didn't expect Zhong Li to come to check the accounts. To be honest, he didn't take her as a little girl at all.

At this moment, in the face of her inquiry, he couldn't help sweating a little on his forehead, and quickly said, "No, no improvement."

Zhong Li sighed and said, "I can see it too, if the business is improving, how can the shopkeeper and the servant leave the office without permission? It's only halfway through this month. There are only a few transactions, and it doesn’t take much effort to keep accounts, so I believe Uncle Fang won’t be so slack, right?”

Fang Yuanyi's eyelids jumped, his eyeballs rolled to the right involuntarily, he faltered and said, "Of course, it won't happen."

"Then ask Uncle Fang to hand me over from January to November."

She is the owner after all, how could Fang Yuanyi dare to reject her directly? It hasn't been returned yet."

Seeing that he made up his mind and refused to hand over the account book, Qiuyue almost laughed angrily.

Chapter 9 Return

Zhong Li stopped Qiuyue with a smile on her face, "It turns out that my aunt took it. If Aunt Fang said earlier, I don't care if you want it. When did you let my aunt take it away?"

Fang Yuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's been borrowed for seven days, so I shouldn't give her the ledger, but she's really worried about the store's income, you're still young, and you've lost your mother, so you can't count on Zhenbei Houfu's help. , As an elder, she felt obliged to take away the account book. She estimates that she is still busy recently and has not read it yet. When she finishes reading, I will immediately send someone to the Hou residence."

Zhong Li nodded, indicating that she knew, and then left the store with Zhang's mother and others.

Qiuyue couldn't hold her breath, "Master, do we just forget it? It's too cheap for him!"

Qingsong's mood was also a little heavy, Fang Yuanyi moved out of the Fang family directly, and even used the word "help" as an excuse, just to make the master retreat.

Zhong Li said: "Naturally, you can't just leave it like that. Go buy a few boxes of cakes. Later, let's go to my aunt's house and talk to express our gratitude. After you buy it, go to Shuxuan Pavilion to find us. The three of us will go to the meeting first. Another treasurer."

There was a smile on Qiuyue's face, and she readily responded, "It's done!"

When Zhong Li and Qingsong came to Shuxuan Pavilion, there were people in the shop. Judging by his clothes, he should be a guy. He was still dozing off. Zhong Li and others came in, but he didn't wake up.

Qingsong stepped forward and knocked on the counter. The man shuddered in fright and cursed, "I didn't see the young master resting, he didn't have eyes."

After he finished cursing, he saw Qing Qingsong's angular face.

When Qingsong came to ask for the account book yesterday, he and the shopkeeper were both there. Although the shopkeeper drove the person away, he was actually quite clueless. Now he was posting the account book, and he wanted to see if he could figure out the problem on the bright side.

The guy knew Qingsong's identity, the shopkeeper dared to be hard on him, but this guy didn't dare. After seeing Zhong Li beside Zhang's mother, he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and threw himself on the ground.

Only then did Zhong Li look at this guy. He looked at him in his early thirties, with a beard and a very shrewd look.

"Where's the shopkeeper?"

The dude stammered, "In, in the backyard."

Zhong Li took Qingsong and Zhang's mother directly into the backyard. The man wanted to follow up and remind the shopkeeper Zhao, but he was afraid that he would leave the master with the impression of negligence after walking away. He finally stayed in the shop.

The backyard is not big, there are two rooms in total, one is a cargo room, which is piled with various goods, and the other is transformed into a lounge.

At this moment, shopkeeper Zhao is checking the ledger, but he kept the account. He was afraid that there was a problem, so he checked it. After checking it, he really found some omission.
