When facing two women, these little people have enough courage, but when the stern He Jiaan stands in front of them, these people don't even have the courage to move forward, one by one you look at me, I look at you, Finally, the person who looked like the shopkeeper standing in the front cupped his fists, forced a smile and said, "My lord, why do you stand in front of us?"
The chill on He Jiaan's face was even stronger, his eyes swept the other party from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, and then said coldly: "In broad daylight, a group of men actually bullied two good women, and asked me why I stood in the way." In front of you, why, does this road belong to your house?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head, and argued: "Young Master, you don't know something. We are all employees of this Chenji inn, and we have to rely on the salary of the inn to support our family every month. But since the past two months, we The boss began to find various reasons not to send us money. It would not be a problem if the time was shorter, but it has been almost three months, and we can't even get a penny. The wife and children at home must be supported. What is this? We bully them, obviously they are bullying us."
With the leader, the people behind began to complain one after another. He Jiaan also felt that this matter was indeed the fault of the Chen family, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How much money does the Chen family owe you?"
"Not much, a total of 43 taels for seven people."
"Okay, I will pay back the money for the Chen family, but I have to say something first." He Jia'an made a gesture and stretched it into his sleeve.
"I can give the money, but you can't leave here one by one these few days. I have to check the inn's accounts one by one. If I catch someone... Hehe, I'll see you in the government."
Chapter 34
As soon as He Jiaan finished speaking, the expressions of the people on the opposite side suddenly changed, and their eyes began to flicker and hide aside. After a while, the shopkeeper at the top pointed at He Jiaan with a little confidence and said: "You What do you mean, I'm settling accounts with the Chen family, it's nothing, just get out of the way."
"Yes, yes, this is the Chen family's inn. What does it have to do with you?"
"Get out of the way, we still have to ask the Chen family for money."
As if they had grasped He Jiaan's handle, these people regained their confidence. The shopkeeper standing in the front simply stretched out his hand and pushed it towards He Jiaan's chest. In his opinion, this guy was really annoying enough. Seeing that I can get the money out, there is such an annoying guy who wants to check the account, so go ahead and dream.
The speed of the shopkeeper's shot was not fast, and when the palm of his hand was about to approach He Jiaan's body, there was a sudden change. He Jiaan's arm drew a semicircle in front of his chest, and he blocked the shopkeeper's arm first. Stretched out like a daze, everyone present heard a crisp sound of 'pop' in the air, and when they looked again, the shopkeeper was covering his face in bewilderment, and opened his mouth wide. He looked at He Jiaan with his mouth, as if he couldn't believe it.
"You... dare to hit me?" It wasn't until he heard the wanton laughter from the people around him that the shopkeeper came back to his senses. He was actually slapped by this guy. In the inn, he was actually beaten up on his own territory, so how could he swallow this pain.
He stared, turned around and shouted: "What are you looking at, copy guy, call me."
Before the guy showed up, a person suddenly came out from behind He Jiaan, his eyes widened and he said furiously, "I don't think any of you dare to fight, this is our uncle."
The stick was just in his hand, and when he was about to rush up, he saw Xiao Zhao rushing out suddenly, and then said a name that surprised everyone, uncle?
Everyone knew about Chen Yueying's marriage, but they hadn't seen this mysterious uncle for such a long time. After a long time, everyone forgot about this uncle, but they never expected that today he would suddenly pop out and look The expression on Chen Yueying's face seemed to be different from the rumors, and the relationship between the two didn't look that bad.
Since he is the son-in-law of the Chen family, he is not a meddlesome person. A few people look at me and I look at you. Before the shopkeeper squeaked, the people behind put down their sticks first.
"So...it's my uncle." The shopkeeper showed an embarrassing expression on his face, and smiled embarrassingly. He didn't know what to say next, so he just stood there in a daze.
"Hey, I'm sorry..." He Jia'an stretched out his hand, shook his fingers and said, "Don't be so close, we are not that familiar yet, besides, you don't even recognize the eldest lady, and you still treat me like that." Grandpa pays attention to it."
The shopkeeper also noticed that this young lady is different from the young lady. The young lady has a thin skin, as long as she reveals the money she owes, she will try her best to find money for you, but this young lady is different. , directly asked myself for the account book, although I had a good idea in my heart, but if a loophole was not filled in and was found out by others, wouldn't it still be my trouble at that time.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper hurriedly said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, small misunderstanding, if the owner is inconvenient now, we can still wait, right?"
The last two words were spoken to the guys behind, and they were quite discerning, so they quickly followed the shopkeeper's words and said, "Yes, yes, in fact, we are not in a hurry, and it will be fine if we wait for a while. "
When I hadn't appeared just now, I still looked like I couldn't wait, this one had a family to raise, that one had a baby to raise, and when he appeared, he suddenly changed his face, why didn't He Jiaan understand what they were afraid of? Not myself, but what I just wanted to check the account.
Now that the face has been torn apart, there is no need to give them an escape route. He Jiaan snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "You don't need the money, but this account must be checked, shopkeeper, hand over the account." Come out."
After saying such good things for a long time, the result is still to pay the account. The expression on the shopkeeper's face gradually became serious, and he glanced at He Jia'an with a gloomy gaze, and then said coldly: "Since my uncle wants to check the account, let's check."
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and went into the inn. When he came out after a while, he already had a thick account book in his hand. He put it in He Jiaan's hand and said coldly, "Let's check."
Seeing the appearance of these people, He Jiaan didn't believe that the account book was okay. He weighed the account book, then looked back at Chen Yueying, and nodded at the inn with his eyes. I entered the inn first.
"Okay, okay, there's no excitement to watch, let's leave, let's all leave." After He Jiaan greeted a few words, he didn't care whether these spectators would leave or not, he followed in, and then the shopkeeper followed After whispering a few words in a low voice, several clerks also walked in, found a place to sit down casually, their eyes seemed to be casual, but they were fixed on the account book without moving.
The account must be checked, but when he saw the big Chinese characters on it, He Jiaan felt a headache for a while, and said with a gesture: "Xiao Zhao, come here."
"Ah?" Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Uncle, I don't know how to check accounts."
"It's okay, I didn't ask you to check, but to copy." He Jiaan beckoned again.
"Copy...I don't know how to do it either." Xiao Zhao's face was a little embarrassed, and he shook his head again.
Oh, I almost forgot about this. Women in this era seem to be illiterate. He Jiaan was stunned for a moment. Before he could figure out a solution, Chen Yueying who was sitting by the side suddenly stood up and came to He Jiaan's side He said, "How about I try it?"
"You can write?" He Jiaan asked a little silly.
Chen Yueying gave him a blank look, picked up a tube of brushes in her jade hand, took another stack of paper, and wrote two words 'account book' on the letterhead.
Although this word is not as good as my own, it should be considered good among women. He Jiaan nodded in agreement, looked at the shopkeeper with a sudden vigilance, then took the brush from Chen Yueying's hand, and wrote it on the paper. I wrote two lines.
Chen Yueying recognized the top row, but what was the bottom row of ghost symbols?
He looked at the words on the paper in bewilderment, but suddenly a gust of hot wind came from his ears, and then He Jiaan lowered his voice and said: "Copy down all the numbers on the account book as follows, draw a cross in front of the entry, and put a cross in front of the entry." Draw a horizontal line in front, do you understand?"
"OK."
Chapter 35 Whose note
I really can't understand my husband more and more.
Before he could fully digest the shock from playing the piano last time, he appeared in front of him again in the blink of an eye, making him who was helpless just now seem to have found support.
And now, he showed his hand again.
Although I don't understand what these symbols mean, but after converting all the numbers on the account book into these symbols, the speed of copying the book is indeed much faster, and I have already copied a few pages in a short time. I still don't understand what these symbols are for?How can you figure out the account books.
After teaching Chen Yueying how to write Arabic numerals, He Jiaan came to the shopkeeper with a sneer on his face, and asked softly, "What's your name?"
"The surname is Fang."
"Oh, Shopkeeper Fang, right? How many years have you worked in Chenji?"
"Almost three years."
"It's been so long, you must have made a lot of money, right?"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Fang's face immediately turned livid, he stared at He Jiaan with wide eyes, and snorted heavily: "Master, that's not what you said, I, Fang Chao, are not the kind of person you said Every account of the inn's business is written clearly and plainly, and I ask my uncle to check the accounts quickly and return my innocence."
Innocence is something that only newborn babies can have. It is so easy for He Jiaan to trust you.
The smile on He Jiaan's face grew stronger, he patted Shopkeeper Fang's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, why is Shopkeeper Fang so serious."
After finishing speaking, He Jiaan passed Shopkeeper Fang and stood in front of a waiter.
"What's your last name?"
"My uncle, my younger one's surname is Li. Everyone calls me Li Silang." Facing He Jiaan, this Li Silang seemed a little nervous, and his eyes always unconsciously aimed in the direction of Shopkeeper Fang.
"Li Silang." He Jiaan followed his gaze and looked back. The shopkeeper Fang who was standing behind him immediately turned his back, but his ears stood upright, listening carefully to He Jiaan and Li Silang. A conversation between Shiro.
What surprised him was that He Jiaan didn't ask Li Silang about the inn, but chatted casually, asking how many people there were in his family, and whether the money he earned from working here was enough to spend. Shopkeeper Fang was at a loss when he heard such things.
After inquiring with Li Silang, He Jiaan then asked the next one, the same words just now, he repeated it again without bothering, and after listening, it was the next one.
