"What's wrong with Shopkeeper Huang?" Li Tian got into the car and asked before Cao Si's daughter-in-law could sit down. Cao Si's wife took out a mulberry paper envelope from her arms and handed it to Li Tian: "This is what Shopkeeper Huang has sent."

It's been delivered, look!" Cao Si's wife pointed to the word 'resignation' on the mulberry paper envelope.

The envelope was handed over face up. Li Tian had already seen the walnut-sized word "Resignation", his eyes shrank slightly, he reached out and pulled out the silver hairpin from his head and opened the envelope. There was only a thin piece of paper inside.

There was a line written on it: "Huang Zhongxian resigns as chief shopkeeper." Li Tian pinched the paper hard, trying not to tremble, and his fingernails turned white.

"It's going to rain, my mother is getting married..." After a while, Li Tian finally spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "Now that I'm here, I have no choice but to greet you. You can go and ask shopkeeper Cheng and Sun Liuwu to come to Fanlou first.

Find a quiet private room to wait for me, and then invite the shopkeepers from six shops in the capital to the backyard of Rong'an Hall."

"Yes." Cao's fourth daughter-in-law agreed, knocked on the carriage, and the car stopped. Cao's fourth daughter-in-law jumped out of the car. Yueniang sat in front of the car, lifted the curtain and looked at Li Tian and asked, "Go back or not?"

"Go back first, the sooner the better." Li Tian ordered, Yue Niang agreed, and the car suddenly rushed forward before the curtain fell.

"Mother Xiong, please accompany me for a walk. You and Qingzhi will stay here to keep an eye on the yard. Yue Niang, lead your horse." Li Tian ordered while stretching his hands and letting Qingzhi change clothes. Yingluo

He counted out the one thousand taels of silver notes and took them out, sealed them with a big red seal, wrote the words "Cheng Yi One Thousand Liangs" on the cover, and handed the big red envelope to Grandma Xiong.

After Grandma Xiong put away Cheng Yi's red seal, Li Tian had already changed into a light gray cloth robe, tied a silk ribbon of the same color around her waist, and wore a dark gray cloth-covered silk-cotton cloak. Her hair was also tied into a man's bun.

Make a bun and wrap it with a light gray silk scarf.

Yueniang was dressed neatly in a short horse riding outfit, holding a very long black silk chinchilla cloak and came out from the east compartment. The three of them hurried out of the corner door. Outside the corner door, there was already a very ordinary indigo cloth-covered cart.

After waiting, Grandma Xiong and Li Tian opened the curtain and got into the car. Yue Niang sat in front of the car, tied the horse behind the car, and the car rushed in quietly and rushed to shopkeeper Huang Da's house.

Not long after they arrived at Huangzhai, Li Tian sat upright in the car. Through the car window, he looked expressionlessly at Huangzhai with the door closed and no one around. Grandma Xiong hurried back and set off a fire.

He poked his head through the car curtain and reported: "Fifth Lady, she said that she started loading luggage in bright lights in the middle of the night yesterday, and today everyone left before dawn. The concierge on the east side got up early and asked a few questions, saying that she was invited by them.

The escort said that he must rush to Lizhou Road to take up his post."

"Going to Lizhou Road to take office? Go to Dailoumen and catch up with him to see him off. No matter what, I have to see him." Li Tian ordered in a deep voice. Grandma Xiong agreed, got in the car and hurried to Dailou.

Rush to the building door.

After leaving Dai Loumen, the car slowed down and stopped outside the city gate. Li Tian took the process instrument from Grandma Xiong and said, "Go back first and pick me up at Fanlou at the end of the afternoon." Grandma Xiong nodded.

He asked with concern: "Be careful on the road." Li Tian said 'hmm' and put on the cloak and came out. Yue Niang had already put on the chinchilla cloak and was waiting with the reins of the horse.

The two got on the horse. Yue Niang wrapped Li Tian tightly in her cloak, shook the reins, and rode out towards Lizhou Road.

The two of them chased after each other for nearly two hours before they found shopkeeper Huang Da and his entourage resting in a teahouse on the roadside.

Yue Niang hugged Li Tian and got off the horse. Li Tian told Yue Niang, "Go and talk to Shopkeeper Huang and tell him that I came here to see him off." Li Tian paused and said, "I'll wait here."

"Yes." Yue Niang tied the reins, and Li Tian stood leaning on the horse. He watched Yue Niang strode forward and said a few words to the escorts sitting around the outside of the tea house. One of the escorts got up and went in.

Not long after, he came out and said a few words to Yue Niang with an apologetic hand. Yue Niang took a half step back, turned around and came back.

"He doesn't dare to see you." Yue Niang said with disdain. Li Tian took a deep breath, looked at Yue Niang and asked, "What did you say?"

"You say you are sick and don't dare to see people for fear of making others sick. You treacherous bitch! Let's go." Yue Niang said loudly.

"Wait a minute, you send this Cheng Yi over, give it to the escorts to transfer in, and tell Shopkeeper Huang to resign. I, the boss, should have given him a good farewell, but I just received it

His letter of resignation was due to the filial piety of his old employer, so he had to prepare a thousand taels of Cheng Yi. I wish shopkeeper Huang a bright future and a promotion. He is unkind and we cannot be unjust." Li Tian took out the big red copy.

Feng Cheng Yi explained.

Yueniang's eyebrows were raised high, she paused for a moment before reaching out to take the process device, she chuckled and said: "You have to say this in front of the escorts, but it is of no use. No matter how much the escorts look down on the owner, they will not survive."

Gotta go well."

"Where are you thinking? It's not because of this. They are all from the Beijing Escort Agency. They have to come back. As the boss, I can't be unjust." Li Tian's heart was heavy with Yue Niang's words and he couldn't laugh or cry at Yue Niang's words.

Come.

Yue Niang sent Cheng Yi back. Li Tian sat sideways on the horse, hugged Yue Niang and wrapped him in his cloak and whispered: "Yue Niang, we just need to rush to Fanlou at the end of the afternoon. Walk slower, it will be uncomfortable if you go too fast."

.”

"Yes." Yue Niang reined in the horse and slowed down, loosened the reins, and let the horse walk back slowly. She raised her hand and patted Li Tian and said, "Don't be sad, this kind of treacherous thing is not worth our sadness!"

"It's not that I'm sad," Li Tian felt a surge of bitterness in his heart. He pressed himself against Yue Niang's warm arms and wiped his tears. He said in a low voice, "Old shopkeeper Huang is a son of the Prince of Nanning County. Huang Zhongxian went to Ningyuan when he was seven years old.

I studied in the Marquis's accountant, and later became the chief shopkeeper, and now I have to resign at this juncture and refuse to even see me, there must be something fishy in this."

"Yes!" Yue Niang responded solemnly, and Li Tian seemed to be talking to himself: "They are going to Lizhou Road to take up their posts... Untouchables can only take the imperial examination for three generations to become an official. The old shopkeeper Huang starts with being untouchable and then becomes good, so he cannot

Come on, Huang Zhongxian and Huang Liangyu are only two generations old. They will receive special favors when they take office. Who asked for this special favor for them? They must be sent away to plot against me. Yue Niang, who do you think it could be?"

"How about I catch up and kill the Huang family! No matter who it is, I don't believe he is not afraid. Let's see who dares to take your idea!" Yue Niang said with murderous intent. Li Tian simply didn't know what to say with this suggestion.

Good: "Yue Niang! Killing them is useless."

"If there's no use, I won't kill you. Don't you think you're just a steward? He can manipulate you just by telling him to leave? Do you think we are all dead?!" Yue Niang patted Li Tian and comforted him, and Li Tian let out a long sigh: "

That's what I say, but Huang Zhongxian's departure will break half of our arms. Huang Zhongxian has taken over this big shopkeeper from his father for more than ten years. He is in charge of everything from the yamen, to the market, to the guilds, etc.

, all the human relationships outside are in his hands. If he leaves so suddenly, the black hand behind him will definitely stir up trouble. We don't know how difficult it will be by then."

"Well, that's true. I don't know who this gangster is. What does he want? Money? People?"

"When I go back, I'll start with the appointment. If there is an appointment, there must be an appointment in the Ministry of Officials. If you look up, you won't be afraid of not finding it. What else can you want? It's just a word of wealth. Looking at this style, it's just

I'm afraid he is a ruthless person who has no fear, alas!" Li Tian hugged Yue Niang tightly and sighed deeply. Yue Niang was silent for a while, and then comforted her with a forced smile: "Don't be afraid, what can you do? Money is all external things.

If it really doesn’t work, I’ll try to open up more.”

"Those are all left by grandma to me. I would rather destroy them... If it doesn't work out, I will wander around the world with you." Li Tian's words contained another kind of determination, and Yue Niang laughed: "How can you bear it?

That hardship? It’s just me. I’ve been lazy in the past few years. Thinking about the time when I followed my master and brother to travel around the world, it’s really miserable... Then again, you have so many ambitions, and with my hard work, the two of us will

If you really want to break into the world, you can become famous in just half a year."

Yue Niang and Li Tian got off their horses outside the inner city gate and walked inside. The two of them riding horses like this attracted too much attention. Yue Niang held the horse and the two walked leisurely for two seconds.

Zhong, arrived at the back door of Fanlou. Grandma Xiong and Cao Si's wife were already waiting in the car. Seeing Li Tian coming, they hurriedly got out of the car. The coachman took the horse. Yue Niang, Grandma Xiong and Cao Si's wife followed Li Tian.

Entered the Fan Building through the back door.

Cao Si's wife led the way and soon turned into a private room behind a bamboo forest.

Shopkeeper Cheng and Sun Liu were sitting across from each other, drinking tea quietly. When they heard the noise, Sun Liu hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the curtain to let the four people in. Shopkeeper Cheng also stood up and looked at Li Tian with deep worry.

and concern.

Li Tian's face was calm. He took the cloak and handed it to Grandma Xiong. He looked at Shopkeeper Cheng and Sun Liu and said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Huang has resigned. He has already left for Lizhou Road to take up his post early this morning. What do you guys have to do about this?"

Already know?"

"I just heard from Cao Si's family." Shopkeeper Cheng replied worriedly. Sun Liu also nodded and said, "I only found out after hearing what Cao Si's sister-in-law said."

"Well," Li Tian stood in front of the window, looking at the desolate bamboo forest outside the window for a moment in silence, then turned to look at Shopkeeper Cheng and Sun Liu, and said with a hint of sadness in his indifference: "It's normal for people to covet outside. I also thought

Yes, but Shopkeeper Huang... Sigh." Li Tian sighed: "His father and son have been working with grandma for two generations. I didn't expect him to be so short-term. Forget it, just leave without mentioning him. Once he leaves, I'm afraid we will
