When Xie Chengzhong and Liang Darong walked out of the study, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"It's all me who has caused you trouble." Liang Darong looked at Xie Chengzhong guiltily and said, "I'll pay for the banquet."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xie Chengzhong glared and said, "Didn't your mother tell you that you have a daughter-in-law? She wants money everywhere, and you give it all. Why do you have to work for nothing this year? Besides, the second girl said that we can fill it in together.
It must be the same. If you want her to know, what will she think of me? Aren't you harming me?"
Liang Darong blushed a little after hearing this, and said, "It's just me who's thinking the wrong way."
"I also made a mistake this time. If I hadn't been too self-righteous, I wouldn't have been reprimanded today." Xie Chengzhong sighed: "You shouldn't have such intentions."
You shouldn't be trying to figure out the bottom line of challenging your master. If it were another employer, they would probably be fined more than just a monthly fine for such a temptation.
"It's good like this. You won't have to worry about it in the future." He thought about how he would act in the future without worrying too much about other people in the Tian family. It would be good like this.
Liang Darong hummed, it was indeed true. They said that he was a shopkeeper in nice words, but he was actually just a servant in bad words. No matter how close he was to the Tian family, he was still a serious member of the Tian family. He could not be offended easily, so they
That's why they made such a mistake. Now that Tian Minyan has issued a death order, it will be much easier for them to act in the future.
"Brother Zhong, what do you mean by what you said about the second girl?" Liang Darong asked again about the last two sentences Tian Minyan said.
"What do you mean? Do you want to be just the shopkeeper on the first floor of the state capital, or the general manager of all the first floors?" Xie Chengzhong asked with raised eyebrows.
Liang Darong's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise: "You mean the girl will look up to us?"
"Whether we are promoted or not depends on our abilities. The girl also made it very clear. She gives us this opportunity, and it depends on whether we can grasp it." Xie Chengzhong's eyes were far-reaching.
Liang Darong was so excited that he clenched his hands into fists. This meant that if he did well, his future would be good, at least better than what he was doing now.
Thinking of this, Liang Darong's eyes became firmer. As long as he was loyal to Tian Minyan and did his job well, his future would be good.
"Let's go, Brother Zhong, we two brothers will eat two cups today." Liang Darong put his hand on Xie Chengzhong's shoulder.
Tian Minyan took care of things in the study room in the front yard for a while. When she returned to Lihua Ju, Luo Shi and the others were already up, drinking tea and playing with their children.
My brother-in-law's daughter is already two years old. When she just learned to speak, she has a babyish voice and is very cute.
My sister-in-law was also five months pregnant, and they were chatting and joking while playing with the children. It was warm and peaceful, and Tian Minyan's anger in her heart also subsided a lot.
"What's wrong, who provoked you? How did I hear that you were angry with Chengzhong and the others from the front?" Luo Shi asked, making a place for her to sit down.
Tian Minyan took a sip of tea, calmed down, and then explained the reason for her anger.
"There are no rules, and you are right to do so. But this penalty is half a year's monthly payment. Isn't this too much?" Luo Shi said with a frown.
"Mom, they won't have a long memory if they are not severely punished. Moreover, this is for the people below to see. I have said this rule from the beginning. If you don't follow it, who will obey it in the future?" Tian Minyan shook her head.
Said: "Since you dare to take my words seriously, you must have the ability to bear the price."
"Look at our daughter-in-law, she's not inferior to men at all. You, you're not afraid of being said to be strong." Mrs. Gao laughed.
"Sister-in-law, third sister, and daughter-in-law have their own reasons for doing this. If everyone relies on family ties and doesn't have to pay for food, then isn't this restaurant open in vain?" Sister-in-law Lu said with a smile:
"It's a good rule to set up. After all, when we open the door to do business, brothers will also have to settle accounts."
"What my sister-in-law said is, no matter who he is, when he comes to the first floor, he has to pay for the meal with real money. We are doing business, not running a charity. If you don't eat, just say whose relative I am."
I am the one who can just pat my butt and leave. Even I have to pay for it myself." Tian Minyan said: "There are book numbers in the book, and they are recorded one by one. In the long run, it will be messed up. The restaurant I worked so hard to open will be messed up.
, but we can’t let it become chaotic internally.”
"So, if we go to the first floor to eat, we have to bring enough money?" Gao said with a smile.
"Aunt, how can I really ask you to give this to me? There are some of our nephews. They must be keeping our accounts. We will use our private money to treat you." Tian Minyan said immediately.
Mrs. Gao chuckled: "You, you, you said you should establish rules, but you are not the same. You are not smuggling accounts."
"This is different. Anyone who can access the private account can do it, as long as the money can be transferred to the account on the first floor."
As long as there is no failure to receive the money, it doesn't matter who provided the money, as long as the money reaches the first floor of the account, she will not pay attention to the other details.
"But speaking of which, why did your uncle come to the state capital? Now that he is not here, has he returned to Henghe?" Luo Shi asked again at this time.
Tian Minyan is also thinking about this problem. Henghe is further away from the prefecture, and it takes at least ten hours to walk. Why does Tian Huaide come all the way here to invite the rich people and the prefect here? To smoothen the relationship?
She then remembered what Xie Chengzhong and the others had said. Tian Huaide was very rich and well-dressed. He didn't look like someone who couldn't afford food. Even the ring on his hand was made of pure jade. It looked very valuable. I heard that it was given to him as a gift.
The gift from the prefect was even more generous. It seemed like an emerald tree, and the gift given to the prefect's wife was a jade Guanyin.
Tian Minyan stood up, her expression a little solemn. She was so angry just now that she didn't have time to think about Tian Huaide's purpose of coming to Henghe. Now that she thought about it, she felt something was wrong.
Although it is said that the county has been magistrate for three years and snowflakes of silver have lasted for ten years, Tian Huaide is also a county magistrate. Where did he get so much money and so many good things to give as gifts? What has he done and what does he want to do?
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Luo Shi and Gao Shi looked at each other in confusion when they saw Tian Minyan's face. What's going on?
Tian Minyan saw that the two elders were a little worried, so she suppressed her doubts and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought of something."
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she added: "Mom, please tell me, since you have come to the state capital, I have to pay a visit to the prefect. I will go and take care of some etiquette."
"Hey, you go ahead."
Tian Minyan took another sip of tea and was about to leave when Xiaoxing came, followed by two unfamiliar women, and said: "The second girl, the young mistress of the Xu family, and the head of Hui'an County have sent someone to deliver the post.
"
Tian Minyan looked at the two women and couldn't help stroking her forehead. She was really busy now. She had to rush for just this visit.
