Hua Xiaogu looked up at Baitao in confusion: "Ah? What do you remember?"
Baitao covered her mouth and smiled: "Last night, the girl fell asleep and kept holding on to the hem of the eldest young master's clothes. The eldest young master was afraid of waking the girl, so he cut off the hem of his clothes before leaving."
Hua Xiaogu's face turned red, he touched the hem of the clothes and pouted: "What a waste of clothes."
Although his body is still a little weak and his head is a little confused, in general, Hua Xiaogu has become more energetic. There are still important things to do today, so he must be dressed thickly enough, he has eaten breakfast and drank medicine, and
After taking Yong'an with him, Baitao nodded with worry and let Hua Xiaogu go out.
The carriage swayed and came to the entrance of the bank.
The bank hasn't opened yet, but the clerks and shopkeepers haven't returned home all night. They're all in the shop, with gloomy expressions on their faces.
Hua Xiaogu got off the carriage, her feet a little weak. Before she could make a fool of herself and throw herself on the ground, Yongan helped her up with great force: "I told you to rest for two more days, but you refused to listen, so just show off!"
Yongan frowned and muttered, but still held Hua Xiaogu in his hand, not daring to relax at all.
Hua Xiaogu knew that Yongan was worried about her. She smiled and shook her head, pushed away Yongan's support, and walked into the bank from the side door. As soon as she entered the door, there was a sharp-eyed waiter who had been waiting at the door: "Master!"
All the waiters who had been up all night in the backyard of the bank stood up when they heard this. In the corner, a little waiter whose eyes were swollen from crying, who looked to be about the same age as Hua Xiaogu, was walking step by step.
He walked over and knelt down in front of Hua Xiaogu.
"Master, it's the younger one's fault. It was late at night, and the younger one also measured the hook and scale, so he was negligent for a moment..."
Hua Xiaogu sighed, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to help the boy up.
On weekdays, she always looks fierce, calculating and extremely shrewd. Because of this, she can win over the hearts of these shopkeepers little by little, so that they dare not look down on her.
But this moment is a good opportunity for Hua Xiaogu to win over people's hearts.
"It's also my fault. I suddenly fell ill yesterday and couldn't come over. You got up first. Everyone has their faults. This is not just your fault. Remember to make up for it in the future." After Hua Xiaogu finished speaking, the boy was stunned.
He knelt on the spot in a daze, forgetting to speak for a moment.
He thought that he was doomed now! He might not be able to earn these three thousand taels in his lifetime. He still had his parents and younger sister at home, and the days to come were going to be dark.
Who would have thought that the new master, who was never easy to talk to, would be so kind this time!
Hua Xiaogu's disease has not fully recovered, and her face is a little ugly. She coughed twice and really didn't have the strength to help the little guy up, so she turned around and glanced at Yong'an. Yong'an stepped forward, helped the little guy up, and whispered
Advising: "Get up, alas..."
Hua Xiaogu walked all the way into the bank, sat down at the main seat in the main hall, and then spoke. As soon as she spoke, the surrounding area immediately fell silent. Everyone, including the old shopkeeper, lowered their hands and listened.
"This time, it's clear that someone deliberately came to defraud our bank. If it doesn't work this time, there's no telling what will go wrong next time. Come and solve it early, don't worry too much."
As Hua Xiaogu said, a boy beside her brought tea. She picked it up and took a sip: "Our bank will definitely lose the three thousand taels of silver. But even if it is a loss, it must be worthwhile. One day
You go and call some coppersmiths to come over first. When they come, we will open the door."
