Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 94

After listening to Lin Jinyan's words, Lin Yanqing's originally gentle expression darkened again, and he snorted and picked up the tea cup to drink the tea.

Lin Jinyan said in confusion: "Dad, did Yan'er say something wrong to make grandpa unhappy?"

Lin Siyuan said warmly: "Your grandfather called you here not because of you, but because he has something to tell you. Sit down."

Lin Jinyan sat down obediently, and Lin Yanqing exhaled and put down the tea cup.

"Yan'er, I just discussed with your father to let you learn to be a housekeeper and slowly take over the shop farm left by your mother. Although you are young, you are smart and knowledgeable. With your grandmother's teachings, you should be able to pick up the skills quickly."

Lin Jinyan stood up: "Grandpa, if Yan'er is allowed to take over the shop from the second aunt because of the incident at Baiyinqin Store a few days ago, it would be really unfair to the second aunt. If the servant made a mistake, the second aunt must have already punished me. When I go to so many shops and occasionally a servant commits a crime, how can I blame my second aunt?"

After hearing this, Lin Yanqing waved to Lin Jinyan and motioned for her to sit down.

"If it were just because of the piano shop, your father and I would not propose that you take over the shop again today."

Lin Jinyan sat down and asked, "Why is that?"

Lin Siyuan: "Today, your grandpa called me to the General's Mansion. Your grandpa told me that the old shopkeeper of your mother's dowry shop went to the General's Mansion for help due to a family accident years ago. Your aunt remembered that this shopkeeper had worked in the Gu family for many years. , so he helped the shopkeeper this week."

Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "My aunt is the most kind-hearted, but what does this have to do with my second aunt?"

Lin Siyuan: "Yesterday, Shopkeeper Zhou went to the General's Mansion to thank him. During the chat, we found out that he did not resign on his own, but was fired for unfounded reasons by the boss sent by your second aunt. You have also seen this boss, It’s Liu Jie from Baiyin Piano Shop.”

Seeing Lin Jinyan stunned, Lin Siyuan sighed and continued.

"Yesterday, the shopkeeper this week said that in the past two years, almost all the shopkeepers of the dowry shops he knew were replaced by Liu Jie. The shopkeeper this week also said that before he was dismissed, Baiyin Qin Store began to falsify its accounts, not only extorting prices but also robbing customers. After selling something, the account was not recorded. Shopkeeper Zhou secretly copied a true account before he was fired, and I got it back."

Lin Jinyan took the order from Lin Siyuan, read it and said, "Why is this shopkeeper Liu so bold? There are so many in just two months, how many will there be in two years? No wonder he can raise concubines. It turns out he is greedy for money. There is so much silver in the shop."

Lin Yanqing said coldly: "The reason why he is so bold must be supported by someone behind him. If it hadn't been for your second aunt's mother's birthday yesterday, and your second uncle and second aunt went to Liu's house together, I would have asked her to come over and reply. "

Lin Jinyan hurriedly advised: "Grandpa, out of the ten shops, only Baiyin Musical Music Store has a problem. It must be Liu Jie himself. Second Aunt may have been deceived by Liu Jie."

Lin Yanqing looked at Lin Jinyan who was speaking for Mr. Liu and softened her tone.

"Yan'er, you have a simple and kind mind, and you can't think of these dirty things that can't be brought to the table. You also think that it is valuable to have a harmonious family. But there are always rules and regulations for everything, and running a family must be strict. If you are blindly tolerant, you will only It will cause even greater disaster."

Lin Siyuan: "Your grandfather is right. If it is found out that it is true, it is no longer an issue of silver. In order to take care of the face of the Lin family, your grandfather only called me to tell me privately. The General's Office did not come forward. If I let it go again, How can you earn your grandfather's trust if you are the culprit?"
