Chapter 344 Du Heng Deals with the Shop
Lin Zhi hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, only sighed in his heart.

Meng Qing is the orphan of the former prince, and Xie Qian has an extraordinary friendship with the former prince, now he is required to watch Meng Qing's ambition gradually reveal, and push the two into a situation of confrontation——

I don't know how complicated Xie Qian's heart is.

But as long as Xie Qian is loyal to His Majesty for a day, he will never be shaken by personal affairs.

The man reminded lightly: "Meng Qing has made great efforts in the case of Du Heng in front of us. Now that it has been so long, they should also take action."

Lin Rong nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle. It is true that Young Master Yu has not had any contact with Du Heng this month, but as long as the two have contacts, they will definitely not escape our eyes."

Xie Qian gave a "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

The tartary buckwheat tea prepared for the two children, A Zhi and A Si, was delivered soon, and some sweet and sour pastries were brought from the small kitchen, which were just right for summer.

Lin Rong called his wife and children back to the gazebo, and the family enjoyed themselves happily. From time to time, the crisp laughter of the children could be heard in the gazebo, echoing on the calm lake.

No matter how turbulent the situation in the court was, at least the Xie Mansion was peaceful and peaceful at this moment.

Just as Lin Rong and Xie Qian said, Meng Qing could not save the eldest lady of the Du Mansion for no reason; now it seems that Du Heng has left the Du Mansion, making Meng Qing's motive even more unclear.

But everything remains the same, as long as Du Heng is optimistic, no matter what moves Meng Qing makes, Lin Roe and others will not hide it from them.

Lin Rong had been sending people to secretly watch Du Heng's movements these days, but Du Heng didn't notice it.

After the three of them, the master and the servant, settled down in the new house, Du Heng has been busy tidying up the shop in his hand, as well as the Zhuangzi in the country, and it has been really busy for a while.

Having money around them gave the master and servant a lot of confidence in their hearts.

Early this morning, A Su saw that Du Heng got up early, so she hurriedly helped her to wash up.

After Du Heng washed his face, he looked at the face in the mirror that was still young and fresh like a hibiscus coming out of water, and was a little lost in thought for a while.

A Su's voice woke her up from her mind wandering: "Miss, are you going to visit Zhuangzi today?"

Du Heng came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "It's time to go and see. But not today."

Only then did Ah Su realize that the Zhuangzi mentioned by the young lady was not in the same place as what she had mentioned.

These days, she has also vaguely heard about the transaction between the young lady and the young prince, and now only she and the nanny are with the young lady, and Du Heng no longer hides many things from them.

Just Iron Ore...

Every time she thinks that Miss is holding such a deadly thing in her hands, and using it to play games with the dignitaries in Beijing, Ah Su can't help but feel a burst of fear.

She didn't want to show her panic, so she lowered her head and silently prepared the clothes and jewelry for Du Heng to wear today.

He also heard Du Heng say: "A Su, accompany me to the pawn shop today."

The little maid answered "Yes".

The pawn shop is the most profitable one in Du Heng's hands.

This shop had established a firm foothold in the capital when Du Heng's mother was alive, and had a good reputation. It has also added many new customers over the years.

It's just that Du Heng's mother passed away too early, and she was still young when she took over, so it was inevitable that there would be some unscrupulous people in the shop, and the Zhou family was watching, trying to snatch such a sweet pastry from her.

Du Heng is going to solve this matter today.

A Su understood what Miss was thinking, and deliberately chose a rather gorgeous hairpin skirt.

Earlier in the Du Mansion, the mansion would make a few sets of new clothes for the young lady every month. Generally, five sets of clothes were produced by the young lady and two sets by the daughter; One person makes three sets of clothes.

When Du Heng came out alone, he would not run out of money, and it was possible for a tailor to make a dozen sets a month.

In terms of dressing alone, she felt a lot more free.

After she was fully dressed, she took A Su and Mammy to the pawn shop in a carriage.

In the early morning, there were no customers in the shop, and the clerk stood behind the counter lazily holding a feather duster, occasionally sweeping the non-existent dust beside the counter.

Seeing a luxuriously dressed woman walking in the door, accompanied by a maid and a nanny, the man didn't get up, and only greeted: "Is the guest here to pawn, or to redeem?"

He is used to seeing high-ranking officials who are well-dressed and ostentatious when they go out. They come to the pawn shop only to sell the treasures left by their ancestors.Gradually, I lost respect for this group of people, and felt that although they looked superior, they actually lived like ordinary people, or even worse than ordinary people.

Du Heng was not annoyed when he saw the waiter's appearance, and just said lightly: "Ask your shopkeeper to come out."

The man glanced at her with a half-smile, and thought to himself, this girl even has gemstones on her veil, so she is reduced to a pawn shop?
He just lazily said: "If the guest has any needs, just tell the little one. The little one has seen a lot of treasures, big and small, so the price can still be estimated."

The eyes of people in the pawn shop are higher than the ceiling. Du Heng knows more or less, but he didn't expect that he would be able to do business like this when he opened the door for business.

A Su was furious at the side, and scolded: "Open your dog eyes and look! Our young lady is the owner of the shop, she is not a shabby household who pawns things!"

The feather duster in the guy's hand froze for a moment, and then he put it on the counter with a "click".

He straightened up, patted his sleeves, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "I have long heard that our master has an extraordinary temperament. She is from the background of a young lady. When I saw you today, I am so stupid! I didn't recognize it. Hit! It's time to hit!"

As he spoke, he bowed left and right with both hands, and patted his face lightly a few times.

Du Heng subconsciously disliked the behavior of such ordinary people, but now she is no longer the eldest lady of the Du family, and will have more dealings with these people in the future, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction and said lightly: " Is the shopkeeper not here?"

The shopkeeper was drinking flowers and wine outside yesterday, and he came back drunk at dawn. The clerk couldn't speak bluntly, so he just smiled and said: "The shopkeeper just accepted a baby from the south yesterday, and locked it in the warehouse overnight. He said that early this morning, he was going to hire a special person to clean it up, so that he could re-display it for sale..."

After rambling on and on for a long time, Du Heng became impatient, and Liu Mei slowly frowned: "Does that mean he's not here?"

The buddy nodded and said, "No, no!"

Du Heng didn't make things difficult for the other party, but just sat down in front of the tables and chairs in the shop. The mother glared at the clerk and ordered:
"What are you doing in a daze? The lady is here, and you still haven't brought tea?"

The guy listened subconsciously and went to the back to prepare tea.

When he brought out last year's old tea with awkward movements, he brewed it for Du Heng. The latter picked up the tea cup and smelled it, then put it down immediately.

There is no intention of drinking at all.

She looked distant, and asked in a low voice, "How long have you been working in the shop?"

The man was a little shocked by Du Heng's aura, so he said honestly: "If you go back to the boss, you will work for two years."

Du Heng swept his beautiful eyes and asked again: "I heard that the shopkeeper is your uncle?"

Seeing that she knew even this, the guy was a little embarrassed, he just smiled "hehe" and nodded yes.

Du Heng didn't say much, and when he had given enough prestige, he put the tea cover in his hand on the porcelain cup lightly, making a crisp sound, and then said: "In this case, you should also treat the shop very well." I'm familiar with it. Take me to look around, and take out the transaction records and account books."

The clerk originally thought that the new owner was just a dainty young lady, and it was probably just a whim to come here today, but he didn't expect that she was going to be serious and came to inspect the shop.

Thinking of an antique that they smuggled away just yesterday, and the account hadn't been smoothed out yet, the clerk was in a cold sweat.

He apologized and said with a smile: "My boss, why don't you sit down first, I'll call someone to call the shopkeeper over, so I can take you through all the things in the shop carefully. There are also a lot of low-priced goods in our warehouse. baby..."

Du Heng's expression became colder and colder, and the nanny stood aside with a majestic look on her face, and said coldly: "Miss' order, what can I push? Take out the ledger and records first!"

To be honest, the shopkeeper and the buddy are just working for the owner. If they refuse to obey orders, Du Heng can clear them both out with a single sentence.

The buddy had no choice but to dawdle and take out the ledger and transaction records.

Mammy took the account book and other things without using the abacus, she just flipped through the pages and calculated all the numbers in her mind.

After a while, the problems on the account became clear.

She whispered a few words in Du Heng's ear, and the latter nodded slightly, his eyes cooling down a little bit.

The clerk waited tremblingly for a long time before he carefully apologized and said with a smile: "Boss, do you want to take a stroll in the store?"

Du Heng stood up, motioned for A Su to put away all the ledgers and other items on the table, and said in a cold voice, "I don't want to look at the shop. These days I have also heard that many shops bully customers and try their best to lower the price of pawns." The price, and the high-priced resale, you have done a lot. I thought that if it was not too much, I would just turn a blind eye and close an eye, but I didn't expect that you didn't even bother to settle the bill. "

The guy started to break out in a cold sweat.

This new owner with exquisite eyebrows and picturesque eyes cut people like a knife, and the waiter was terrified: "The store is closed today, you go and call the shopkeeper, and wait for the people from the yamen to come to the door."

After saying this, the three masters and servants left without looking back, leaving the waiter to sit slowly on the ground while supporting the table, sweating profusely...
