The basic salary is 500 taels of silver, and they have to sell at least 5 taels of silver worth of orders every month. If they fail to sell, money will be deducted. However, according to their observation, the business of Dream Home is very good, and they can easily complete the task without using any words.
As for other commissions, they are simply too exciting to work with.
"Siyu." Zheng Shuyu walked in: "Long time no see."
"Shuyu." Mu Siyu asked everyone to leave first and walked towards her: "O rare guest, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come on, let's go to the study to drink tea."
In the study, Mu Siyu poured tea for Zheng Shuyu, and then poured a cup for Qiu Shuang who was standing behind her. Qiu Shuang was just a maid and did not dare to accept the tea, so she thanked her gratefully.
Zheng Shuyu held the tea cup and glanced at Qiu Shuang.
Qiu Shuang took out a purse and pushed it in front of Mu Siyu.
"This is..." Mu Siyu said as she opened her purse and saw a heavy silver ingot.
"This is liquidated damages." Zheng Shuyu said: "We signed the document at the beginning, but they didn't recognize it. I know they haven't asked for your goods recently, so this is considered a breach of contract."
Mu Siyu did not refuse, put her purse in the drawer, and looked at Zheng Shuyu in front of her.
"Now that we've talked about the business, let's talk about you! I went to Women's Fragrance to look for you, but what I saw was your eldest sister. It seems that she still won the duel between you and your eldest sister."
It’s just that what wins is not the business, but the heart of the old lady of the Zheng family. I have long heard that the old lady prefers the big house, and now it seems to be true.
Zheng Shuyu smiled bitterly: "I made you laugh."
"Are you admitting defeat?"
"No!" Zheng Shuyu's face darkened: "I won't lose."
"I admire your courage." Mu Siyu said no more.
"I went to see Hongshu." Zheng Shuyu mentioned the Li family's affairs: "The Li family is in a mess, and she doesn't look well. She also has a hard life."
Mu Siyu did not respond.
She didn't want to mention the Li family's affairs again.
Zheng Shuyu sat for a while and then left. She came here just to pay the liquidated damages. Now that Mu Siyu has accepted it, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end, and she has an explanation to her.
Mu Siyu took stock of her property. Although she had several hundred taels, she still felt insecure. After all, she now had a man to support, so she couldn't afford to neglect it.
At noon, Lu Yi rushed to Jiang Mansion with Gao Yamen and others.
In the lobby of Jiang Mansion, there were more than a dozen scholars, five serving servants, and Mr. Jiang sitting there with a displeased look on his face.
Just now, the servants of the Jiang Mansion went to report the case, saying that Mr. Jiang's belongings were lost. The Qin County Magistrate was worried and insisted on Lu Yi going there in person.
Among these dozen scholars there were people who were familiar to Lu Yi. After all, once upon a time, he was also one of these people, and he was also a leader and one who was hated by others.
He remembered them, and of course they remembered him. When he saw Lu Yi wearing official uniforms and arriving with dozens of government officials, the scene was quite majestic, and everyone had mixed feelings.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Master Lu." Mr. Jiang said in a deep voice, "I'd like to trouble you to make this trip."
"Mr. Jiang is so polite, but I wonder what Mr. Jiang stole?"
"A jade pendant belonging to me. That jade pendant has been with me for decades, but it was stolen from my home today."
Lu Yi looked at the dozen scholars: "Mr. Jiang is holding a banquet."
"That's right, a poetry meeting was held and famous talents from North and Shanghai City were invited." Mr. Jiang frowned.
"I wonder when Mr. Jiang found out that he was missing?" Lu Yi asked again.
This time Mr. Jiang didn't speak, but Fang Zhuoyu spoke: "Two quarters of an hour ago, when the crime was first reported. The jade pendant was black jade, with a pattern on it."
"What pattern?"
Fang Zhuoyu frowned: "I don't know."
"Eagle." An Yiheng said calmly: "A crying little eagle."
Everyone looked at An Yiheng in surprise.
How could such a powerful man wear a jade pendant with a crying eagle engraved on it? However, Mr. Jiang did not deny it, could it be true?
"The jade pendant should have been lost half an hour ago, because when Brother Fang wrote the poem 'Peony Poetry', Mr. Jiang no longer had the jade pendant on his waist. But at that time, I thought it was Mr. Jiang who took it off voluntarily.
I didn't mention it." An Yiheng provided another clue.
"Now I want to question everyone." Lu Yi said, "When I call someone, please follow me to the small room next to you."
Mr. Jiang sat there with a cold face and allowed Lu Yi to investigate.
These scholars were originally arrogant and arrogant, but now they were being interrogated as suspects. No matter how well they hid it, their faces and eyes would inevitably reveal some dissatisfaction.
The only two people are exceptions.
"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me..." A servant knelt down and begged for mercy.
"What's going on?" Mr. Jiang asked.
Gao Yamen carried the pale-faced servant out, threw it into the middle of the hall, and said, "This man's hands and feet are dirty and he stole a lot of silver. You can check to see if your wallet is missing."
The readers quickly touched their pockets.
"My wallet is missing."
"Mine is gone too."
Jiang Laoleng said: "You are so brave. You dare to drag me out and beat me to death to disgrace my Jiang family."
"Please be patient, sir." Lu Yi came out and said, "Who asked you to steal the wallet?"
"this……"
"If you don't tell me now, there will really be no chance of survival."
"It's a young master. He said that he stole the wallets of those guests during the poetry party. Even if they found out, they didn't dare to tell anyone. After all, this is Jiang Mansion, and they didn't dare to offend Mr. Jiang." The servant trembled: "Young man
I was originally a little thief on the street, but that man placed me in the Jiang Mansion as a servant. I listened to his words because my hands were itchy, and I realized my sin."
"Did you steal the jade pendant too?" Fang Zhuoyu asked.
"No, not the jade pendant. I don't dare." The servant waved his hand.
"Sir, do you have something more important in your house? I'm afraid that the real thief set up these traps just to lure the tiger away from the mountain and allow his purpose to succeed." An Yiheng said.
The jade pendant was stolen and was reported to the official. After the report was reported to the official, a thorough investigation was conducted. This investigation revealed a thief who stole the wallet. At this time, everyone's attention was in the lobby, and the backyard was...
"Sir!" The nurse hurriedly walked into the lobby. "The study has been stolen."
Mr. Jiang stood up suddenly and strode out.
Lu Yi made a gesture and followed Gao Yamen and others.
"What should we do?" someone asked.
"Just stay here!"
An Yiheng hesitated for a moment and followed.
"Why are you, Brother An? What if you anger Mr. Jiang?"
Fang Zhuoyu's eyes darkened and he followed.
When he reached the backyard, Mr. Jiang suddenly stopped and looked back at the two people following him.
"You are very brave."
An Yiheng and Fang Zhuoyu quickly saluted.
Fang Zhuoyu said: "I'm trying to do my best."
"Same below."
"That's right! The imperial court needs people with energy and courage like you." Mr. Jiang said: "You won't be needed for the rest of the matter. You can go back!"
"That jade pendant..." Fang Zhuoyu asked.
Mr. Jiang looked at Lu Yi who was walking over: "Master Lu must have found him."
Lu Yi was holding a jade pendant in his hand, exactly as they described.
He went to the hut just now and found it outside the hut.
"Mr. Jiang, return the original items."
The attendant next to Mr. Jiang took it over.
"Master Lu, my study has been stolen. You have to worry about this matter. I leave it to you."
"yes."
Fang Zhuoyu and An Yiheng left Jiang Mansion first. When they were at the door, Fang Zhuoyu looked at An Yiheng: "Brother An has such keen observation skills, he actually knows so many clues."
"Brother Fang is not bad either. It shows that he is a thoughtful person."
Is today's poetry meeting an ordinary poetry meeting? Who is Mr. Jiang? Who lacks poetry writers around him? He is just observing the students in Hubei City to find people who can be used by him.
The people from the Yamen quickly left Jiang Mansion. Gao Yamen chased after Lu Yi and asked what he was talking about, but Lu Yi said nothing. After returning to the Yamen, Lu Yi entered the main hall of Qin County Magistrate.
"How is it? Have you found it?" Qin County Magistrate asked.
"Found and lost."
"What are you talking about? What other riddles are you playing with me?"
Lu Yi told Qin County Magistrate what happened today.
County Magistrate Qin frowned: "Then what do you think Mr. Jiang means?"
"The thing is definitely not lost, but Mr. Jiang asked me to check carefully and generously. I think he wanted to give others a false impression, so that people in the dark would think that he had 'lost' something."
