Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 72
Hearing this, Bai Yiran smiled and praised: "Miss Zhou has such exquisite thoughts, craftsmanship and clever words. No wonder the old lady likes it. It's because of the old lady that I can eat such delicious gouache." Here are the glutinous rice balls."

Zhou Yuexue felt that something was wrong with Bai Yiran's words, but she didn't know what the problem was and said with a smile: "If my aunt wants to eat it in the future, Yuexue will make it for her."

Bai Yiran smiled and nodded: "If necessary, I will trouble Miss Zhou."

Zhou Yuexue smiled and said: "Auntie is too polite, just call me Yuexue."

Bai Yiran smiled and said: "You are the junior that the old lady loves, how can I call you by your name? Yan'er, I came two days ago to see that your pulse seems to be weak. Follow me into the inner room and take off your clothes, and I will take a look at you." There may be fire boils on the body. You two girls, stay here for a while, I will show Yan'er a look and then come out."

After saying that, she took Lin Jinyan's hand and walked into the inner room. After walking two steps, she turned around and told Qiu Rong, "You are here to serve me. You two girls can eat whatever they want." He smiled at Zhou Yuexue and the other two. He nodded and entered the inner room.

After entering the inner room and sitting down, Bai Yiran took Lin Jinyan's hand and said, "Yan'er, in the future, just be on good terms with that cousin of yours, don't have any heart-to-hearts." She took the pastry she bought and said she made it herself. This woman is flattering. She is someone who lies and lies to please you, so you must not imitate her."

Lin Jinyan pretended not to know: "Cousin lied to aunt? How disgusting. Don't worry, aunt will remember Yan'er and will never have a heart-to-heart with her."

Bai Yiran frowned and said: "I never like to go to other places to socialize, just because it's too fake and I'm tired of it. Now it's a good idea to come to your door and let me do this. If it weren't for your grandmother's sake, I would have exposed her long ago. , let’s not mention her, you don’t need to mention it again after you return home, I asked you to come in because I have other things to say.”

Seeing Bai Yiran's expression become serious, Lin Jinyan felt relieved, but still pretended not to understand and asked, "Auntie, please tell me."

Bai Yiran: "Uncle Zhong has sent people to check the general situation of the shops in the past two days. Many shops have changed shopkeepers. It is said that the previous shopkeepers were dismissed because they caused the shops to suffer losses. But those shops where Qinglan was married were They are all the best shops in the government, and they cannot be in such a deficit. Uncle Zhong felt that something was fishy, ​​so he sent people to find those shopkeepers who had been dismissed before. This morning, he found one of them, Shopkeeper Wang, who said that the shop had never been in deficit. It was Shopkeeper Liu who wanted to seize power and support his cronies, so he made excuses to fire Shopkeeper Wang. If one shop is like this, other shops must have problems if they think about it. My aunt is telling you this, but I don’t know if you can understand it? It’s not a trivial matter, so I thought I’d better inform your father and the old lady.”

Lin Jinyan: "Auntie, I can understand. This shopkeeper Liu must be a close confidant of Second Aunt. The profits made by making the accounts in deficit belong to Second Aunt. Second Aunt took advantage of being in charge of the gift box to embezzle my mother's dowry. But I can't tell my grandmother beforehand." With my dad.”

Bai Yiran asked in confusion: "Why not?"

Lin Jinyan looked at Bai Yiran seriously and said: "Aunt, the second aunt dared to make a loss on the store, so she naturally made corresponding false accounts. We have no real evidence in hand, so we said it rashly in case she complained about it. If we ask the shopkeeper to come up with fake accounts to reconcile, we won't be able to catch her mistakes at all. At that time, grandma may still feel that the General's Mansion has interfered in Lin's family affairs, and if so, it will be even more impossible to seek justice."

Bai Yiran nodded, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that Lin Jinyan was really precocious.
