Back at his residence, Xu Hao called Mrs. Liu, first told the matter, and ordered: "Mobilize some local personnel to secretly investigate the competitors of Jiangnan Jewelry Firm and the interpersonal relationships within the Jewelry Firm, especially the shopkeeper himself. This article was first published by...

Liu thought for a while and suddenly said, "It's not a question for the young master to suspect the shopkeeper. In theory, when entering the house later, he should clean up and use it to greet his own people or to guard valuable goods. This is the right thing in the question. It is indeed suspicious to rent it to outsiders for no reason."

Xu Hao said: "I also doubt why he exchanged the silver and went out. It was only one day short of one day. Even if he couldn't argue, he could try to delay. Why don't he worry about the people who decided to trade? Mostly, with the support of the government, he couldn't pay much money even if he claimed the compensation. He was careless and lost more than 10,000 taels of silver."

Liu smiled and said, "It's really a pity that he didn't expect that the young master would lose a lot of money when he was right. He had to tell the young master both in terms of emotion and reason. It seems that he was lucky and thought that the young master would not take this matter seriously, right?"

"Absolutely." Xu Hao smiled bitterly and said, "How can I have time to care about these things? I thought I could get away with it. It was really a lack of human heart. After a long time, someone began to make plans for themselves. I will leave this matter to you. Then my sister will send someone here. Just do what she should do."

"Yes!" Liu said seriously: "I will definitely do this."

After many years of doing this, Xu Hao felt a little nervous. He picked up his pen and wrote, "Don't ask for words, don't ask for words; don't ask for words; don't ask for words."

Seeing that he was unhappy, Liu thought for a while and said, "Sir, tell me a joke to the young master?"

"Well, tell me." Xu Hao continued to write with his head down.

Liu said softly: "When my husband and I returned to Beijing last year, we met a family member in the teahouse, wearing a martened cloak and green pants, which looked very strange! Dr. Tea said that this person got up early every day and went to the teahouse to make a bowl of tea. He sat for most of the day.

The rules of the Jinling Teahouse are that locals bring their own tea leaves, and only five cents is enough. The person brought his own tea leaves, opened the paper bag, and put the tea leaves in the bowl.

The guests around him said, "Is there a little less tea?"

The man snorted and said, "How can you understand! I got the best Longjing tea from the British Duke's Mansion to Venice overseas. Just a little bit is enough. If I keep it too much, I won't want to drink tea for a year."

At that time, I was particularly curious. There was also Longjing in foreign countries? When I walked over, I saw that there were three or four tea leaves floating in his tea bowl, which were the fragrant tea I usually eat. The tea water was actually a bowl of boiled water that was clear and clear, and it was awesome!"

Xu Hao stopped immediately and laughed and said, "Okay! Are you mocking the stingy people of Jinling? Dragons have nine sons, and their sons are different. Naturally, there are many such down-and-out children in Jinling who are not defeated. They rely on their family background to disdain to make money by making money, and they are just pretending and idle. To be honest, I have similar people in my Xu family, huh? Is it really the Xu family?"

"Hehe! That's not right." Liu covered his mouth and smiled, "But I didn't dare to ask which house it belongs to. It's probably because of the young master's family. Why is it so shabby to have a big family?"

Xu Hao was speechless and said, "Don't have to wear a high hat for me. The Xu family can't guarantee that everyone can have food and clothing. If you don't do your best, how can I send money?"

Liu continued, "Later, I saw him take out two cents from his waist, buy a sesame cake, sit there and tear it, chew it carefully, and say while eating, 'It turns out that sesame cake is so delicious, and I am used to delicacies from mountains and seas, but ordinary things are more delicious.'

After eating for more than an hour, he finally finished eating. Suddenly he stretched out a finger, dipped it in saliva, wrote on the table, dipped it, and wrote a stroke. At that time, I was curious and laughed at how this person had worked so hard? He was still copying ancient posts in the teahouse. So he carefully looked at what words he wrote. It turned out that he was writing, but it turned out that it was for the sesame seeds that fell on the table."

"I think I've heard of this somewhere?" Xu Hao recalled, thinking that with this carefulness and energy, what kind of business would be bad?

If it is an ordinary people who have no food and clothing, it is very sympathetic, and it happens to the children of powerful people, it is difficult to not be regarded as a joke.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Liu laughed, "Seeing that he had written for a long time, there was no sesame seed on the table, he suddenly felt intently, as if he was thinking about something. After thinking for a while, he suddenly slapped the table hard and dipped it in his saliva to write. It turned out that two sesame seeds fell into the crack of the table, so he deliberately made it like he had forgotten it, and deliberately made it like he suddenly woke up, and shocked the sesame seeds. After finishing the sesame seeds, I saw that he stopped writing and did not leave, and sat for most of the day."

Xu Hao joked with her: "You couple are bored enough, and they didn't sit there for most of the day."

Liu smiled and said, "It's rare for him to take me out and sit. I'm unwilling to leave immediately. The teahouse is full of talk, and some are lively. Later, a child came in from the teahouse and said, "Dad, go back quickly, mom is going to get up." He said, "Your mom gets up, what do you want me to go back and do?" The child said, "Dad puts on my mother's pants, and my mother is so anxious that she doesn't wear pants at home."

"Stop talking." Xu Hao smiled bitterly at it. He probably guessed who that person was. He was Lai Han, the most famous Xu family, and Xu Yong, who was of the same generation. Because he was lazy and had good face, no one in the family was willing to pay attention to him. He also provided him with a portion of money and food to survive, which made him do nothing all year round, otherwise he would have starved to death for 800 times.

He is poor and has a good face, and he has a decent life. His family is barely covered, and his wife and children are almost starved to death, and all his things are pawned. Even so, he still has to pretend to be rich and rich young men outside.

Jinling Xu Mansion.

Princess Jiaxing came to find Zhang Lianyi again, carried the corner of her skirt, and complained while walking in the garden: "It's not that the palace pattern should be symmetrical with left and right, and the Jiangnan gardens also have veins to follow. How can there be like his family? The whole Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation cannot tell the northwest of Dong'an once you come in."

The palace maid around him also said with a funny look: "Fortunately, we are used to walking, otherwise we will be exhausted."

No matter how much he complained, the Princess Jiaxing was still familiar with the road. Or she would ask people about the road and come to the small courtyard where Lianyi lived. There was a flower wall outside, and the five outer courtyards were the rooms where the old mother lived.

When I came in from the outer courtyard, there was a large magnolia flower two or three meters tall in the west, and a very large glass flower house to the east and south. In early winter, it was as lush as midsummer, with flowers in full bloom. There were more than a hundred Xiangfei bamboos in the north, four or five wood-leaf banana trees, and a corridor in the middle.

Princess Jiaxing led her men into the second entry, which was also the corridors of the left and right wings and the flowers and trees, and there was a pool at the west end.

After entering the third step, there is a wide corridor in front of the door, a three-story embroidery building in the middle, with the plaque saying "Riyi Xiaoju".

Princess Jiaxing looked up and smiled, "I'm still a small residence, much taller than my bedroom."

The little girl buckled the hanging flower curtains, and the princess of Jiaxing walked in. There was an independent natural table of incense nanmu wood on the first floor. There was a red wood carved Amitabha in the twenty-four scenes of West Lake outside. There were two big red tribute satin embroidered gold cushions on the couch, a big red tribute satin embroidered gold cushions on the natural table. A pair of red copper cast crane tables were cast, and a lion grabbed the ball and the big incense burner.

On the east side is a pair of large vases with purple kiln rain over the sky, placed on a red sandalwood pedestal, with a yellow sky bamboo and a red sky bamboo in it. A bunch of red seeds are planted in the cloisonné flower pot next to it, and a bunch of red seeds are embedded in the red sandalwood strata on both sides. A pot of two chicken feet daffodils are placed on one side.

There is a large mahogany double-piece round table in the middle of the house, two small square tables of marble rosewood against the wall on both sides, surrounded by red satin-sprayed gold tables. There are eight large Cantonese mahogany carved chairs on each side, and thick flower-woven carved carpets are laid on the ground, and the walls are all water-milled square tiles.

Princess Jiaxing left the palace servants and went up the second floor alone. She walked to the door of the study first and took a look inside.

Directly opposite is a desk carried by Lianyi and Xu Ye with a hand-plied nanmu and a load of nanmu. On it are four treasures of the study, white jade crystal paperweight given by his uncle, white marble pen washing, a dozen bamboo pens in the agate pen holder, and a whisk on one side. A small round hollow bowl of white jade was raised with a calamus, and a small round jade basin was placed in a small round jade basin.

There is a Jingtai porcelain basin on the Xiangfei bamboo stand, planted with two favorite orchids in the heart of the ripples. Beside the desk is a three-layer empty Shoushan stone bookshelves. The shelf is full of books, and a couplet is hung on the wall, with thousands of silks, green lotus roots and exquisite women, and a roll of banana leaves turn their hearts.

In the eyes of Princess Jiaxing, she naturally couldn't see a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings. No one knew that Ribbon was deeply favored by her uncle. She was in the Xu family and wanted to get the wind and rain.

"No, I'm going to live here too."

The jealous Jiaxing couldn't help but pouted. Logically, the queen of mother should be able to agree, but she became happy after thinking about it. She was a ten-year-old girl, innocent and not too scheming.

I went to the boudoir on the third floor, and there was a half-moon table with agarwood incense wood in front of the bed, and a beautiful girl ringing bell that looked like ripples, a white copper incense burner with longevity characters, and a picture of the summer night serving the moon on the wall by the window. Two pairs of gold-studded papers were written by Xie Jin.

A water-milled square bamboo lettering bed, a green gauze tent with mountains and rivers, a silver rat pendant splashing mattress, and two big white and blue orchids folded.

Without seeing anyone, Princess Jiaxing walked into the inner room with a small kang with empty roots near the south. Her four feet were also made of tree roots, and there were also small kangs with the roots on them. In the ancient sand basin, a curved green-caly plum tree was carved with empty seats with bamboo sticks under the basin.

Two plates of dragons fell down and the footsteps were stepped on. In front of the couch, there was a small square table with clouds of Xiangfei bamboo, a table cover with white silk and blue satin edges, and several bronze Yi tripods were placed on it.

In the corner, there is a small bamboo-leafed Hanyu screen, four bamboo chairs along both sides of the wall, and a bamboo tea table.
