The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 698 Where is the brother-in-law?

The two accountants take turns, so there is no such thing as the accountant asking for leave and asking the shopkeeper to do it for him.

With the sound of knocking, shopkeeper Xing raised his head, he thought it was some old man who was eating was coming to pay the bill.Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I found that it was the owner.

He was taken aback, how could the boss be here at this time?
"Boss?" Shopkeeper Xing seemed to be confirming, but also seemed a little unbelievable.

Gu Chengyu nodded. At this time, there were many customers in the restaurant, so it was not good for him to pursue the matter now, or wait until there were fewer people.

Beads of sweat were left on Xing Yang's forehead, it's over!He didn't know why the Dong family suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. After all, it was not easy for the Dong family to come back, and he hadn't heard that the Dong family had returned to his hometown before!

The hand holding the ledger suddenly trembled, the ledger actually weighed a thousand catties in his hands.Xing Yang closed the ledger, but his heart sank.

"Boss, me."

"Is my private room still available? I haven't had dinner yet." Gu Chengyu interrupted Xing Yang before he could finish speaking. inconvenient.

Xing Yang could see that Gu Chengyu didn't want to hear these things now, and he also knew that it was really inappropriate to say these things at the moment.

So he nodded quickly, "I'll keep it, your room hasn't been moved yet. Boss, you go up first, and I'll ask the guy to serve you food."

At this time a guy ran over, he thought that Gu Chengyu and the others came to the restaurant for dinner.So they came forward to say hello, after all, Gu Chengyu and Zhu Pang were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and at first glance they were customers who were not bad for money.

"Guest officer, there is no seat right now. However, there are a few guest officers over there who are about to leave, do you think you can wait for a while?"

The clerk thought about it in his heart, the private rooms upstairs were full of guests, even the lobby was full.However, it's not too early now, and guest officials will leave soon.

The buddy didn't recognize Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu didn't care.

After all, he went to the capital later, so he never visited the restaurant in Jingyuan Mansion.Many of the clerks here were recruited later, and he didn't know who he was, so it's normal not to know him. The only people who have seen him are the shopkeepers and accountants of the major shops.

The restaurant has always been under the management of Yu Tanzi, and Gu Wanqian has been in charge of other places such as cosmetic shops and workshops.

The criminal manager saw that the guy didn't know the owner, so he quickly scolded: "It's none of your business here, clean up the Tianzi No. [-] on it, the young master wants to eat."

Because Gu Chengyu explained that no one should know that he is the owner of the restaurant, so he didn't directly point it out.

It's not that Gu Chengyu is afraid of things, but that he is now an official of the court and cannot make a living like this. This is the rule of the court.So the people who come forward are usually Yu Tanzi, or Gu Wanqian.

When Gu Chengyu thought of the account books just now, he couldn't help but think of Yu Tanzi who managed all the restaurants.

Yu Tanzi didn't sign the deed of selling himself, and the account book happened again today. Could it be that Yu Tanzi was over-minded and made some small tricks underneath?

He would look at the account books of the capital every month, but Jingyuan Mansion was too far away from the capital, so he made an appointment to hand over the account books every six months.

From the perspective of the accounts, there is nothing wrong with the account books twice a year, but he can't come to Jingyuan Mansion to check. If someone really did something wrong, such as something wrong with the daily income, how would he know?
Don't mention that there is an accounting room. Originally, Gu Chengyu was guarding against this, so he assigned two accounting rooms to each shop, and each accountant would have an account book in his hand.

However, doing so is not without its drawbacks. If they all collude and share the benefits, there is nothing they can do to deceive him.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and then thought of the secret that he told the emperor before.

His current situation is really similar to that of the emperor.The emperor lived in the palace for a long time, and he could only rely on memorials to clarify the big and small things that happened in the local area.

And Gu Chengyu can only rely on the account books to understand the situation of the restaurant. It seems that he has to set up a picket department like the imperial court.

I come down from time to time to check the account books of these shops, and even the accountants and shopkeepers can secretly report to him, just like secret books.

Gu Chengyu's thought was in the midst of lightning, and he had a general idea, so he didn't continue to think about it in depth. This matter has to be discussed in the long run.

As soon as the buddy heard this, he knew that this was a character that the shopkeeper wanted to curry favor with.

But, didn't the shopkeeper of that private room say that he would keep it for his brother-in-law?
"Shopkeeper, didn't you say that the private room should be reserved for your brother-in-law."

When shopkeeper Xing heard this, he almost cursed, you idiot.

brother in law?Gu Chengyu turned around and looked at shopkeeper Xing, "I remember that shopkeeper Xing's wife doesn't have a brother-in-law? Where did this brother-in-law come from?"

Shopkeeper Xing was really a little panicked this time. He was just lucky enough to think that his boss would not remember what happened in his family, but he didn't expect his boss to remember it so clearly.

He and his mother-in-law used to work in the mansion of a rich family, and it was that family who gave birth to a child.But later, the original owner's business failed, so he sold the servants together to pay back the money, so he joined the current owner.

When he and his mother-in-law were sold, they were a family of five. Where did the brother-in-law come from?

Seeing the half-smile on Gu Chengyu's face, shopkeeper Xing couldn't help but tremble, and he might not be able to be kind today.

No matter how stupid the guy was, he could see the clues now. He quickly shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the finger on Shopkeeper Xing's hand, and then asked with a smile: "Treasurer Xing married again?"

Although the question was about shopkeeper Xing, his eyes were on the boy.

The young man was cowardly, he glanced at shopkeeper Xing, and dared not say a word.

Shopkeeper Xing didn't even dare to wipe the sweat dripping from his head, he was a little dizzy at the moment.

Although Zhu Pang didn't know how to do business, he could also see that there seemed to be some problems with the shopkeeper. Jinyu must be very dissatisfied at the moment.

Gu Chengyu didn't wait for the two to answer, and said to the boy, "Take us to the private room! I'm really hungry."

Only then did the boy loosen the cloth towel he was holding, as if he understood something.

Shopkeeper Xing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Chengyu and the others had already gone upstairs.It happened that someone came to pay the bill, so shopkeeper Xing had no choice but to go forward and count the money.

Gu Chengyu walked halfway up the stairs, turned around and winked at Ming Yan who was walking behind.Taking a veiled glance at Shopkeeper Xing, Ming Yan immediately nodded knowingly.

When everyone went upstairs, Ming Yan left the private room without reporting to Gu Chengyu.

When Gu Chengyu and the others arrived at the private room, Gu Chengyu gave him a look, and Ming Mo suddenly turned around and closed the door.

"Young masters, I don't know what dishes you two want to serve? Can you tell me the name of the dishes?" The waiter didn't pay attention to Ming Mo's movements, and just wanted to serve the two uncles in front of him.

The shopkeepers all nodded and bowed, and he, a little guy, couldn't afford to offend him.

　Thank you book friend Xuepeyanran for your reward!
