A piece of paper

Chapter 15 Familiar money
The twelfth lunar month is full of wind, frost and rain, and when it gets dark, Master Chen Liu and Zhu Gangli invite Chen Fu to watch the shadow puppet show in southern Anhui at the Changqiao Guild Hall and have dinner at Tianxianglou, with Xianjin as their companions.

In modern times, Xian Jin has also seen shadow puppetry, but he only knows what it is in fragments, but he has not had a deep understanding of it.

Therefore, when a complete brocade product was presented in front of Xian Jin, Xian Jin was quite surprised—it was more attractive than she imagined, especially in the martial arts scene, where one person manipulates eight shadows and four duels at the same time, most of them are ugly. Liantai can be described as "talking about all the world's affairs in one mouth, and dancing millions of soldiers with both hands".

Xian Jin and Chen Fu watched with great interest.

The girl's eyes are shining, and her love brain is eagerly looking forward to it.

Two dissimilar profiles overlapped.

Mrs. Zhang took a look and saw a strange tacit understanding from this strange pair of "father and daughter"...

The hearts of these two are not so big.

A person who extorts 800 taels of silver from others seems to be okay;
One buttock was smashed, and she did not hesitate to sit with her buttocks up to watch the show...

She, a widowed mother-in-law, was right to come to Jing County - how could she see such wonderful things in the inner courtyard of the Chen family.

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a moment, then raised her head from the same angle and watched the play seriously.

Forget it, join if you can't beat it.

The threshold for watching shadow puppetry is not high, and one seat ticket costs three Wen. Those who have money or not can watch a show, but the location is different. For example, those led by Chen Fu sit in a private room upstairs.

Another example is that on Tuesday, the dog and his party ran through the lobby like sardines.

On Tuesday, the dog emptied the three pennies he had on his body and squeezed into the hall, followed by four or five dark-skinned laborers in bunting suits.

"Brother Ergou! Three pennies, a bowl of plain noodles! I haven't eaten since morning!"

"That's right, wouldn't it be enough to block Mr. Chen outside? You have to spend money to come in - before you get the money, let's spill the money first."

"The Chen family's are all the same stuff, it's useless!"

"In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of the darkness and beat up that pork head!"

There was a murmur behind him.

On Tuesday, the dog turned around and said in a low voice, "If you don't want money, go back! I'll give you three pennies! If you want the money back, don't even think about splitting it!"

There was silence from behind.

On Tuesday, the dog squinted his eyes and looked up, seeing the pork head respectfully pouring tea for a noodle man in the private room on the second floor.

Tuesday the dog took aim, head down and squeezed forward.

He was eight feet tall, and because he relied on his strength for food all the year round, the thin jacket was stretched tight by the flesh on his body, and he rushed forward like a strong cow, rushing to the second floor in a short while.

"…see me?"

Chen Fu stared at Xi, "Chen Ji Paper Shop guy? Why are you seeing me?"

The clerk in the guild hall didn't know, "It's urgent."

Master Chen Liu gave Zhu Gangli a wink.

Zhu Gangli got up and chased people away, "Go, go! Don't bother our young master to watch the theater!"

The waiter in the guild hall was about to leave.

Xian Jin said, "Third Master, why don't you see me? What if someone comes to say hello to you?"

After all, it is one of the twin sisters of Jing County.

Chen Fu turned his head and thought for a while, "Then call it up."

On Tuesday, the dog listened to the waiter's call, tightened its joints, and waved back, beckoning the descendants to follow.

Four or five strong men stood still in the private room, crowding the remaining space.

Chen Laoliu looked gloomy, squinting and scanning around.

What is this for?
Force the palace?

Or sue?

Chen Laoliu glanced at Zhu Gangli, and winked: If necessary, tie this group of people out!

"Young master!"

On Tuesday, the dog's qi sinks in the dantian, full of qi.

Chen Fu turned his head to look, and was shocked, "Oh! There are so many people!"

"We are all guys from Chenji Paper Shop." Tuesday Dog made an awkward bow, "My name is Tuesday Dog, this is my younger brother Zhou Xiaogou, and the other four surnamed Zheng, are cousins. We and the Chen family originally It’s from the same village, your mother supports the villagers and takes care of the young and strong in the village when recruiting staff.”

Xian Jin was expressionless.

This guy is quite disciplined.

Chen Fu smiled and said, "That's pretty good, I'm going to the shop in the next few days, and I'll treat you to a drink then."

On Tuesday, the dog bit his back molars, "Young master, we are going to resign collectively."

Master Chen Liu laughed, his face wrinkled, "If you want to resign, then resign! Just tell Lao Zhu! Isn't it ugly to come to the Young Master's house?"

Then he turned his head and smiled at Chen Fu, "The young man is ignorant, he was blinded when he entered the county town, and he couldn't keep those who wanted to leave. Later, I, Lao Zhu, will pay five taels of silver per person in the account."

Master Chen Liu gave the group of people a glance, and said with a secret threat, "No matter how many, there will be none."

The people behind the dog on Tuesday rustled, as if they were discussing.

Quite moved.

Five taels of silver.

Their wages are no more than eight taels of silver a month, and nine taels of silver a year.

The Chen family pays half of the wages every month and keeps half of the wages, saying that the rest of the wages will be paid after they have worked for three years.

After the twelfth lunar month, it has been three years!

Porkhead didn't even mention it at all.

For three years, half of the salary is 15 taels of silver.

I never thought I could get my money back.

It would be nice to get five taels of silver back.

The one with the pork head who only eats but doesn't vomit, told them to sue the officials, and said that the Chen family uncle was an official in the court, how could they win the lawsuit?
It has always been that the people do not fight with the officials!

Some of the men who followed backed off.

"No."

On Tuesday, the dog's heart broke, and he shouted loudly, "Three years and a half of wages, one person is 15 taels of silver! Not a penny or a penny is missing."

Xian Jin tilted his head back.

really.

When she looked at the account book today, she felt something was wrong.

The wages are paid out in full.

The certificate of signature was the private seal of Mr. Zhu.

Even if these guys don't know how to sign, there will always be fingerprints, right?
nor.

Not a single fingerprint.

She concluded that Mr. Chen Liu and Manager Zhu must have deducted the wages of the employees.

But I didn't expect that these two people were so courageous.

Three years of deduction!

Only pay half of the wages a year!
Oh shit.

Even modern capital "blood-suckers" only dare to use 30.00% of their annual salary as a carrot to lure donkeys to work!
My heart is too dark!

Xian Jin used to be a capital, and his family ran a decoration company, but now he is a small accountant, living on three liang of silver a month.

She can't empathize with capitalists.

"The word of mouth is useless."

Mr. Chen Liu said sinisterly, "You have been working in Chen Ji for several years. If you have been owed wages, how can you still work in Chen Ji? Now you suddenly jumped out and said that the Chen family missed your wages. Why should the young boss believe it?

Do you think others are stupid? "

Chen Fu looked here and then there, feeling a little at a loss.

"I believe."

Xian Jin took out a tightly bundled roll of notes from his sleeve pocket, and slammed it heavily on the table.

"15 taels of silver! Six people! A total of 90 taels!"

"The third master will give you 100 taels, which will be counted as three years' interest!"

"If you are willing to continue working, you can stay. The third master promises to pay your salary on time and monthly, and you will never default on it."

Master Chen Liu's pupils suddenly dilated.

This roll of notes looks so damn familiar!
