"Master, I, I'm going back first." Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Qing thought it would be better to leave first. She really couldn't find any excuse to explain those things. Sooner or later, she would know, but at this moment, she

I just thought that it would be great if Ji Anxin's marriage could go smoothly.

Ji Anran watched Liu Qing disappear from sight and put down the account book in his hand. In fact, it was just a try. Unexpectedly, Liu Qing really did something wrong. Ji Xiong looked at Ji Anran without knowing why. Until now, he

I haven't thought through what my daughter is going to do.

"An Ran, this..."

"Don't worry, Dad, I will take care of it. Yuluo, come out with me." He picked up a small book on the table and turned around to go out.

Ji Anran rarely cares about the affairs of these stores, and her business is also left to people she trusts. Although she has been mentally prepared, not only did Yuluo's eyes become angry after this round, but even Ji Anran herself

Even people with good xinxing are very angry.

There are seven shopkeepers in the twelve shops who were new to the shop two days ago and have no idea what happened in the shop before. There is also a jewelry shop that sees people coming and going, and the account books all show losses. As for itself,

In the two profitable stores, the goods were old and the waiters were listless. Even the counters were covered in dust. It was strange that anyone would patronize them.

"Miss, the second aunt has gone too far. You must tell the master when you go back and give her a good meal!" Yuluo said angrily.

"So what? She can shirk that it's the store's poor management." Ji Anran glanced at Yuluo and smiled lightly. Yuluo was dumbfounded and resentful, "Is that all? The second aunt must have embezzled these stores.

money.”

"Is there any evidence? You need to have evidence when you say these things, otherwise she will bite her back, and she might say something else about us."

Yuluo blinked and looked at his young lady expectantly, "Do you have any good ideas, young lady?"

Ji Anran smiled and said nothing, bypassing Yuluo and walking forward. Yuluo wrinkled her nose and followed with a happy face, "Miss, the last store ahead is Jade Cixuan, which is an antique shop."

Before entering, Ji Anran frowned at the noise in the store. Antique stores are not places where people come and go, and are generally quiet and elegant. The sounds in this store can be heard clearly even if people don't come in.

As soon as he entered the door, the store was filled with dazzling displays. The shopkeeper, who was wearing a rich and powerful outfit, was looking at a young man in old clothes with disdain. The man's face was haggard and sickly. His relatively handsome appearance looked sallow and dry.

Although the clothes on his body were old, they were washed very clean and did not look disgusting. On the contrary, he had a faint literati temperament. At this time, the man looked embarrassed and anxious, and he looked a little breathless. "

Shopkeeper, please take a closer look. This painting is really the original work of the former Mr. Wu Zhikai."

The shopkeeper looked at the man with disgust and said: "Looking at your poor face, how can you find the original work of Wu...Wu Zhikai? This painting is obviously a fake! However, our shop also accepts imitations. Seeing that your painting is a good imitation, I'll give it to you.

All you need is two hundred taels."

The man's face flushed angrily, "You...you..." Wu Zhikai was a master of the previous dynasty. Even if it is not the best of the best, it will cost at least two thousand taels. If it is raised more, it can be even higher. This shopkeeper actually wants to pay ten taels.

He bought his family's ancestral treasure at a fraction of the price. If he didn't really continue to ask for money, how could he be willing to sell the painting like this? "That's unreasonable! I won't sell it!" The man rolled up the scroll angrily and left.

people.

"Wait a minute!" When the shopkeeper saw the man about to leave, a trace of evil flashed in his eyes, and he stared at the man fiercely and said: "I gave you two hundred taels to give you face! Could it be that you stole these words?

?That’s right. See how a poor guy like you could have such a famous painting. Let’s go to the government to see it.”

"Meet the official when you see him, am I afraid of you? You, the shopkeeper, are so unreasonable in opening a shop!" the man said angrily.

The shopkeeper smiled contemptuously, "What's the point? Do you know who owns our store? Let me tell you, this is the business of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the second young lady in our mansion will soon become the young mistress of Feiyang Villa. What do you mean by the government?

Do you believe me or you, a poor person?"

"you…."

"Master, I want this painting of yours. Two thousand taels." Ji Anran walked into the store and said softly.

The two people who were still arguing were stunned. The man reacted and saw the elegant woman in front of him and couldn't help but said: "You...do you believe me?"

In fact, Ji Anran may not be able to tell whether the painting is real or fake. He only came to the conclusion from the reactions of the shopkeeper and the man, as well as the flash of guilt on the face of the master appraising the painting at the counter. What's more, even if this painting is

Fake, she bought it today too!

When the shopkeeper saw that his business was being disrupted by a yellow-haired girl, he couldn't help but be furious. Looking at Ji Anran's clothing and fabrics, which were not expensive, and he must not have been from a distinguished background, he said in a conspiratorial tone: "Girl, it's best not to meddle in other people's business."

.”

Ji Anran glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "This young master refused to sell it to you, so now I'm selling it. How can I be meddling in my own business?"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly and said: "You have to buy it today, you have to buy it or you don't have to buy it! Our second young lady is getting married, and we are looking for some antique calligraphy and painting to pack."

Ji Anran sneered, "If you don't want to sell it, you have to sell it. It just so happens that I have to buy it today. Yuluo, give me the money."

Yuluo cleverly took out two thousand taels of silver notes and put it into the man's hand. He took the painting and said with a smile: "Master, here is the money, you can leave quickly."

The man hesitated and said: "No, you two girls..." If he left, the two girls might not be able to leave the store with the paintings. Although he was in urgent need of money, he couldn't harm the two kind-hearted people.

The woman looked at the several guys who had gone over to block the door. The man shook his head firmly and said, "I won't sell this painting. Girl, please give it back to me."

Ji Anran took the painting from Yuluo's hand, opened it, looked at it, nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Just in time, I want to give this painting "Looking at the Moon over the Qingjiang River" as a gift. You can just take the money and leave. I want it."

Let’s see if there is any royal law at the emperor’s feet.”

"In that case, don't leave, all of you!" the shopkeeper threatened.

Ji Anran looked at him funny, "Is it possible that you still dare to kill us?"

She looked at the shopkeeper in front of her coldly. If she saw it correctly, the person in front of her should be Liu Zhiyu, Liu Mingyuan's cousin in Liu Mansion and Liu Qing's cousin. Very good, really good. She was
