I am the richest man in the Dai Viet Dynasty

Chapter 17 March Bet
It’s been a long time since I slept so comfortably and comfortably.

Lin Chengzhou felt that he had regained his soul at this moment.

He lazily got up from the bed, yawned, and then reluctantly opened his sleepy eyelids.

Squinting his eyes, he could see Yuan Yuan's round, yet-to-open face full of smiles.

Yuan Yuan was full of energy and said happily to Lin Chengzhou who was still lying in bed: "Yuan Yuan hasn't seen Miss for quite some time!"

Indeed, I haven’t seen him for many days.

Lin Chengzhou, who was busy working on the bracelet, felt almost every day that time here was much shorter than in the real world.

For many days in a row, I would go out at nine o'clock and come back at midnight.

Although he is indeed physically exhausted, who calls himself the owner of this jewelry shop?

Of course, the level of worry is still not as good as the days when she worked overtime on a 996 basis, but now this unprecedented sense of accomplishment makes her feel less tired.

This kind of life of strategizing and controlling one's own destiny seems pretty good.

After listening to Yuan Yuan's words, Lin Chengzhou then remembered that not only Yuan Yuan had not seen him for so many days, but his mother was also worried. This fake bracelet incident had already caused a stir in the city, and her mother might have known about it for a long time.

Mother must not be allowed to live in worry anymore.

Then he got out of bed in a hurry. He didn't even have time to put on the coat handed over by Yuan Yuan, so he hurriedly said that he was going to pay his respects to his mother.

"Miss! Miss! You haven't put on your shoes yet!" Yuanyuan took a coat and picked up the shoes on the ground and was about to go out to catch up. When she saw that her lady had already run away, she had to stand on tiptoes to watch Lin Chengzhou go further and further away. The figure shouted: "Miss! Yuan Yuan embroidered a sachet for Miss and placed it on your dressing table. There is incense ash that Yuan Yuan asked for from Lingyin Temple. Miss, don't forget to take it with you!"

"I know! I know! Thank you Yuanyuan!" Lin Chengzhou responded while running.

It wasn't until she stopped at the door of Zhou Shuangshuang's courtyard that Lin Chengzhou calmed down a little. Zhou Shuangshuang had scolded her many times on weekdays. A daughter's family should be like a daughter's family. She shouldn't act recklessly, be arrogant and domineering, and don't show selfishness.

After lifting up her skirt and entering the door, Zhou Shuangshuang, who was sitting in front of the case and copying scriptures, said hello.

In the past, when greeting her every day, her mother would immediately take her into her arms.

Today, Zhou Shuangshuang didn't even raise her eyes. She was copying the scriptures in her hand, as if she hadn't heard them and didn't pay attention to them.

On the other hand, Grandma Ji next to her saw her young lady coming barefoot and wrapped in a layer of single clothes. She hurriedly ran to greet her, hugged Lin Chengzhou into her arms, and said with heartache, "Yuan Yuan, this girl doesn't even let the young lady wear her clothes." A coat." He looked at Lin Chengzhou's feet again, "Look at how your feet are still bare! My young lady's body is weaker since she was young, so don't catch the wind and cold again!"

After Zhou Shuangshuang heard this, she paused the pen and ink in her hand, and then continued to copy.

Aunt Ji found a shawl from the cabinet and wrapped it around Lin Chengzhou. She said in a distant tone: "Miss, if such a big thing happened in the shop, you should tell Madam that it's not right. Madam has heard it since she came down from Lingyin Temple." The bracelet was fake because I was afraid that someone would sue the government and falsely accuse the lady of something happening. I always wanted to go find the lady at night, but I was afraid of disturbing the lady's rest."

Lin Chengzhou understood that his mother was worried about him and annoyed him.

"Mom, everything is ready in the shop."

After hearing this, Zhou Shuangshuang stopped waving her right hand, raised her head, looked at Lin Chengzhou, frowned, and asked, "Are you worried about your shop?" She put down her pen and ink, stood up, and slowly walked to Lin Chengzhou, "You are older now. , I can handle everything by myself, and I don’t need my mother anymore.”

Lin Chengzhou shook his head vigorously.

After all, she is a mother. Seeing this frail little person, Zhou Shuangshuang still felt soft-hearted. She took Lin Chengzhou into her arms and said to herself to her daughter: "Not only that shop, but all the property of the Lin family is not as good as my daughter's." precious."

Lin Chengzhou's nose suddenly felt sore, and hot tears filled his eyes.

How much she hated herself at that time for not responding to her mother's words in time.

Her mother was also precious to her, beyond the wealth of the Lin family, and even less than the wealth of the entire Bianjing city.

Lin Chengzhou hugged his mother, his warm breath made her warm, and he said coquettishly to Zhou Shuangshuang: "Everything is fine with Zhou'er. Mother should not be angry with Zhou'er."

Zhou Shuangshuang touched Lin Chengzhou's thin shoulders, rubbed Lin Chengzhou's somewhat cold hands, and scolded: "Look at you, you still look like a disobedient child. It's almost autumn. The cold starts from the feet. How about your shoes and socks?" Don’t wear it.”

Lin Chengzhou wanted to freeze this day so much!She is willing to exchange all her wealth in this life!

At this time, a maid came to report, and the master asked the young lady to go to the meeting hall.

Lin Chengzhou then counted the days, and it seemed that today was indeed the day for the three-month meeting.

It's time for my mother to feel proud.

After entering the hall, they saw the upright and dignified Lin Fushen still sitting in the hall. Standing next to him was Uncle Luo, the accountant who had taken the accounting book.

That aunt, Qin Shi, was very positive. Although there were many maids waiting around her, she still pretended to give Lin Fushen some tea.

When Mrs. Qin saw Lin Chengzhou and Zhou Shuangshuang's mother and daughter arriving, she glanced sideways and then returned to her seat, sitting upright.Sitting next to Xiao Qin were Lin Chengjing, whom she had not seen for a long time, and Lin Chengfeng, whom she had only interacted with a few days ago, and who was hanging his head at the moment.

Lin Chengzhou and Zhou Shuangshuang took their seats.

Then he saw Uncle Luo opening the account and opening his mouth.

Report: "In March, the total revenue of all shops was 69 taels of silver. The bank's income was about 830 taels of silver, the grain bank's income was about 28 taels of silver, the silk shop's income was about 18 taels of silver, and the restaurant's income was about 11 taels of silver. "Ten thousand." Uncle Luo paused and continued to report, "The other shops' income is about 12 silver taels, of which the jewelry shop's income is about [-] silver taels."

He flipped through the book and reported again: "The banker run by Mr. Ying has an income of about 20 taels of silver. The silk and satin shop run by Nv Jing has a loss of about 1000 taels. The income of the restaurant run by Gongzi Feng... has not lost money."

Lin Fu frowned slightly.

Next to him, Uncle Luo also felt the change in his master. His tone was a little awkward. He touched the corner of his mouth with his finger, flipped through the account book, and reported again: "The income of the jewelry store run by Women's Island is about [-] yuan."

"The restaurant didn't lose money?"

After Uncle Luo finished speaking, Lin Fushen still spoke up. He looked at Lin Chengfeng who buried his head deeper and deeper and said, "If I remember correctly, this restaurant should have some surplus every month. How come it doesn't make a loss?" ?What does this mean?"

Lin Chengjing didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but her tone was somewhat frank and frank as a child. She sat down in the hall and said to Lin Fushen, "Dad is obviously asking questions knowingly. If you haven't lost money, you haven't made any money. What's the point?"

When Xiao Qin heard her daughter's careless words, her already embarrassed expression became even more embarrassed. She turned sideways to block the gaze of the person in the hall, stretched out her hand and twisted the flesh on Lin Chengjing's arm hard.

Lin Chengjing felt pain and jumped up from the chair. She faced Xiao Qin's embarrassed face and said, "Why are you holding on to me? Mother is hurting me! What did Jing'er say wrong? This second brother's restaurant is losing money." Doesn’t that mean I didn’t make any money!”

Then Xiao Qin stood up and said to the people in the hall: "Feng'er has not made any money in the past three months. She has made contributions to my Lin family in the past months."

Lin Chengjing puffed her cheeks and sat back on the chair angrily.

Lin Chengfeng beside him still didn't raise his head, let alone say a word.

Lin Fushen spread his hands to his side and saw Uncle Luo respectfully hand over the booklet in his hand.

Lin Fushen quickly looked through the records in the account book. He frowned slightly until he saw the profit amount of the jewelry store. He looked at it carefully again, pointed to the amount of the jewelry store and said: "That's right. This jewelry shop has suffered a lot of losses in the past months, but it has made so much profit in the past three months."

He raised his head and looked at Lin Chengzhou, whose eyes were much gentler and somewhat relieved. He first said to Zhou Shuangshuang: "It seems that you have been working hard as a mother these days." Then he said to Lin Chengzhou: "Zhou'er It’s true that I’ve put in some effort, and I’ve become enlightened in this business. Not bad! Not bad!”

This was the first time for Lin Chengzhou to see this ancient father speaking softly to his mother. Although he appreciated this ancient father's first compliment, he had not forgotten the grievances he and his mother had suffered three months ago.

Lin Fushen was very patriarchal at heart, and he was afraid that his cheap dad would disown the bet he made with his second brother.

He reminded: "Dad, don't forget the bet I made with my second brother three months ago."

How could Lin Fushen forget that if he didn't mention it, winning or losing would already be obvious.

The Lin family only has two sons.

How could he lose half of his Lin family's future for such an unseemly bet?

"What does Zhou'er mean by this bet?"

Lin Chengzhou felt a little angry. What this cheap dad was best at was saying things that he knew he was asking. The accounts were clearly in his hand, not to mention that his reminder was not clear enough.

He even asked me what I meant.

After Lin Chengzhou muttered in his mind, he felt that he should be more solemn when he stood up, and thought about how to deal with it.

Then he used the words Lin Fushen usually taught them to block the father, and deliberately said: "Dad often teaches us that the children of the Lin family should live in good faith. If there is such a lack of contract spirit within the family, it will not be possible in the future." I’m afraid I don’t even know how to deal with those customers in the business place, and I’ve failed my father’s teachings.”

Lin Fushen didn't know how his daughter became so sharp-tongued. These words left no way for him to escape, and he couldn't think of any better words.

He had no choice but to turn around and ask Lin Chengfeng, whose head was still sinking, "What do Feng'er think?"

Without waiting for Lin Chengfeng to answer, Little Qin stood up first and flattered his master, saying: "Feng'er is young, and the bet he made with his eldest sister was just a kid's joke about playing house. How can the children of the Lin family not interfere with the Lin family's property in the future?"

Lin Chengzhou was about to walk over to retort when he was grabbed by Zhou Shuangshuang beside him. Lin Chengzhou gave Zhou Shuangshuang a look of being under control and gently pushed away his mother's hand.

Then he walked straight to Lin Chengfeng and asked, "What do you think, second brother?"

A mosquito-like sound was heard coming out of Lin Chengfeng's mouth.

"Feng'er will listen to big sister's arrangements."
