"Well, then I'll wait with peace of mind." Gu Qingling said silently, "You can play whatever you want, but you must promise me that you won't let them find out that you did it. I'd rather be more troublesome and play smaller.
You can’t reveal any flaws either.”
Second Master Yao slapped his chest and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will never find out."
He also smiled and said that he had never noticed it before, but he was actually quite good at "conspiracies".
In addition to Liu Shaoqing and Zhao An, he also kept an eye on several others, preparing to trap them one by one.
Damn it!
Dare to count one thousand taels of gold against him. If he couldn't kill them, he would have killed them.
As for the mastermind Ma Jicheng, Mr. Yao really wanted to take action, but thinking of the other party's methods, Mr. Yao gave up with some regret.
well……
There is no way, who makes him not the opponent of others?
Although he didn't want to admit it, based on the news he had heard in the past few days, this Ma Jicheng was really a character.
Although he may look younger than him, he is very capable. He followed Mr. Ma to conquer the world when he was just a teenager, and he has already stood on his own. Even his father, Mr. Ma, has to take a back seat when it comes to matters involving his son Ma Jicheng.
.
Thinking of this, Mr. Yao had to think of Yao Anhong, who is also his son. Yao Anhong is several years younger than him, but he is still a "sick young man". This is really comparing people to each other, which is very annoying.
After talking to Gu Qingling, Mr. Yao went back to "report work" to Mrs. Yao.
He said that he went to take a look, and he felt that Yao Anhong was doing well staying with the old lady, and his complexion was much better. He told her not to worry, because with the old lady here, Yao Anhong would definitely not suffer.
Then regardless of Mrs. Yao's objections, she hurried out the door.
Mrs. Yao Er was so angry that her liver ached, and she beat the quilt and shouted: "Enemies, what an enemy!"
The eldest maid Xia Tao stood nearby and did not dare to speak. After a while, she felt that Mrs. Yao's anger had subsided a little, and then she whispered: "Madam, do you want a drink of tea? The tea before Grain Rain is very..."
"What are you drinking? Can't you see that I'm going to die of anger?" Mrs. Yao Er glared at her angrily and scolded her for being a colorless person just like her master.
The eldest maid Xia Tao stopped talking and looked down at her toes.
Well, these embroidered shoes are quite beautiful, especially the beads on them, which are strung together one by one, are very bright.
Mrs. Yao Er kept complaining to herself. One moment she said that Mr. Yao was not a thing and she didn't even feel sorry for her own son. The other moment she said that the old lady was an old witch. Don't think she didn't know what bad ideas she was planning.
Didn't he just want to drive a wedge between her and Brother Hong's mother-son relationship?
snort!
Come on, Brother Hong is already eleven years old, and he still doesn’t know who his biological mother is and who will be good to him?
Wait, if something happens to Brother Hong, she will definitely not be done with that old witch.
Then he disliked that after Gu Qingling returned to running the business, he had deducted many monthly meals, and the portions of three meals a day had been reduced, and he felt uncomfortable eating anything.
She also took a fancy to something new from Linglong Pavilion, but unfortunately she had no money...
As she talked, she scolded Mr. Yao for being a prodigal. He owed so much money outside and even emptied her dowry. If this continues, she, Brother Hong, and Sister Ling will all be in trouble.
.
The eldest maid Xia Tao: "..."
Gu Qingling didn't know, because she kept Yao Anhong at her place, which made her second daughter-in-law angry.
I guess there won't be any reaction if I know.
Anyway, she is the "old lady" now, and she has the final say in this family. If she has opinions but has no ability, just keep it to herself.
On the other side, after Uncle Yao arrived in the capital, he began his "incognito private visit" trip.
He specially dressed up and pretended to be a businessman from out of town. He led a group of people to stay in an inconspicuous hotel, and then inquired about business in the capital.
There are still many people who are interested in businessmen from other places. Especially when Uncle Yao came from Yunyang City, he specially brought some local specialties. Although they are not particularly expensive, they are more novel than before, as long as the price is not too high.
If it's high, people will usually buy it.
Uncle Yao pretended that he came from other places. In addition to wanting to sell the goods in his hands, he also wanted to buy something from the capital.
Today's businessmen are mostly like this. They either make their own products or travel from south to north to make a profit. Therefore, Uncle Yao has this idea and does not attract many people's attention. They only think that this "young master" looks good.
It's particularly beautiful, and a bit dull. I'm afraid it was released by some big family for "experience".
Uncle Yao is not very shrewd in business, but he has a particularly shrewd "shopkeeper" beside him. After several interactions, no one looks down on him anymore.
Uncle Yao was extremely grateful to this "shopkeeper": "Thank you very much! If it weren't for the help of the shopkeeper, this trip would not have been so smooth."
The shopkeeper was just a servant of Wen Haoze's family. How could he dare to accept the gift from Uncle Yao? He hurriedly avoided it: "Uncle Yao, you are too polite. I just followed the order of the master of the house and helped Uncle Yao. Please don't worry, Uncle Yao."
, the villain will definitely do his best to help you handle the affairs at hand."
Because "Shopkeeper Qiao" is here, Uncle Yao is much more comfortable. For example, he doesn't have to reveal his identity as soon as he comes and run to the store to check the books. Instead, he arranges for multiple people to guard each store and keep an eye on it from early morning.
Until late.
After a few days, Uncle Yao figured out the "daily traffic" of these stores.
Shopkeeper Qiao was also pointing out to Uncle Yao what he could see from these "daily traffic", and combined with the items sold in the store, he could roughly deduce the store's turnover this month.
At the same time, Uncle Yao also sent people to investigate the people these shopkeepers usually interact with and what channels they have for purchasing goods. Although they cannot tell everything clearly, at least they will not be blind.
When Uncle Yao found out that the store where he bought grain was still in deficit even though there was so much traffic tomorrow, he was so angry that he slapped the table: "Damn it! How dare he lie to me! The account book he gave to Madam last year only sold so much in one month."
A little bit of stuff, and they also said which shop opened next door, and they couldn’t make any money..."
"At that time, the eldest lady felt sorry for them and took the initiative to subsidize them every month. Unexpectedly, they actually cheated people, made false accounts and defrauded people of money. They are simply a bunch of hateful rats!"
…
Feeling angry, Uncle Yao was not so impulsive as to lead his men to fight directly. Instead, he asked Shopkeeper Qiao if he had any suggestions. He wanted to deal with all these "big rats".
After Shopkeeper Qiao confirmed that Uncle Yao really wanted to deal with this group of people, he revealed his long-planned plan.
So, the next day, Uncle Yao led a group of people into the store and directly "tied up" everyone in the store.
At that time, the shopkeeper in the store was shocked and had no idea what was happening. He shouted quickly: "What are you doing? You dare to rob our store in broad daylight. Are you crazy? Do you know who owns this store?"
