I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 163 Kiss

Shen Changshun was left hanging. He frowned and took a deep breath, "Changshou, is this how you taught her? You turned around and left without waiting for me to say anything. Am I the kind of person who would cheat her of her money?

What should I explain when Chang Tian and his wife come looking for me later?"

"This child has a bad temper..." Bai just opened her mouth when her husband gave her a sidelong look. She lifted the curtain unhappily and went back to the backyard.

“Brother, he and his wife will never come back.

Xiaoye, you are still young after all, you should bear more responsibility." Shen Changshou said in a low voice. They did not tell the uncle's family about their sister's affairs, but the mother still had a little delusion in her heart.

Shen Changshun was stunned. "What's going on? Is the news accurate?"

Shen Changshou nodded heavily and briefly told him what had happened.

……

Shen Xiaoye didn't know that her uncle talked about her parents in order to cover up for her.

At this moment, she was not waiting outside the door, but came to the big money house in the city with the little black cat in her arms and the little leopard lying in the basket on her shoulder, and wanted to exchange it for cash at the counter on the spot.

Although silver notes are more convenient, she will try to exchange them for gold and silver and keep them at home or in a space.

However, the money houses at this time all charge a handling fee, and Shen Xiaoye didn't mind the waste at all, "Please change it into ten ten-liang notes, ten five-liang notes, and twenty one-liang notes."

"Wait a moment, young lady." The person at the counter checked the ticket first, and then passed it to two other people to check the stamp.

Shen Xiaoye was not in a hurry. After all, she would be able to enter the capital soon after delivering the goods and would only need to rest in the outer city for one night at most.

As her thoughts drifted, she did not notice that in the backpack beside her legs, the restless little leopard was pushing open the lid and digging out its claws.

But the little black cat saw it, and with its quick eyes and claws, it slapped the leopard down in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xiaoye withdrew his thoughts and heard a whimpering sound of grievance in the basket, so he took out a few pieces of candy from his bag and put them in the basket.

Of course, she would not forget to give the little black cat a few more. The cat was eating happily when someone suddenly came out from the inner room, stared at them and praised: "What a prosperous black cat, I wonder if the young lady is willing to give it up?"

"Sorry, I can't." Shen Xiaoye saw that the other person was wearing a silk robe with fine jade ornaments hanging around his waist, and he came out with a man in a green Taoist robe.

She quickly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Taoist Qingxi, how have you been lately?"

"Not bad." Taoist Qingxi said with a smile, "You have expanded your business to the capital city." He used an affirmative sentence.

Shen Xiaoye said modestly: "It's just a small fight."

At this time, the man in the silk robe next to Taoist Qingxi was staring at the little black cat without blinking, and the cat glanced at him lightly.

As a result, the man smiled happily and rubbed his hands and said, "I wonder if I can touch the black cat and get some good fortune.

I didn't get that for nothing." As he said that, he took off the jade ring hanging from his waist and handed it to her.

Shen Xiaoye took a half step back and couldn't help but look at the Taoist priest, asking him to persuade them to retreat.

"Mr. Tao, sincerity is the key to success. Ordinary worldly things can undermine this ethereal saying of good fortune." If touching the little black cat could bring fortune, Taoist Qingxi would have borrowed it and kept it for three to five months.

"I am sorry for being rude." He calmed down, put the jade back and asked again seriously.

Shen Xiaoye lowered his head to look at the little black cat, which rolled the last candy into its mouth and meowed twice, meaning that it was for the Taoist priest's sake.

So she lifted the cat forward, and the other person muttered "Blessings to the Heavenly Lord" while carefully stroking the cat with both hands.

The pious action attracted many glances, and even the accountant who exchanged the silver for Shen Xiaoye did not call on her to take the silver.

Taoist Qingxi saw that he seemed reluctant to hold the cat, so he simply winked at Shen Xiaoye, took the cat from her and put it into Taoist Tao's arms, "Then, kiss it for a while, and you will make a fortune today."

"Thank you for your good words." Mr. Tao was very happy. He also said, "When you have descendants of black cats in the future, can you leave one for me?"

"Meow!" The little black cat jumped out of his arms. What was it thinking? It would never get married here. It was still a cub.

Shen Xiaoye quickly caught it and said, "It depends on fate."

"Qingxi, I find that those who are good friends with you all use the mysterious word fate." Tao, after getting rid of his fleeting disappointment, said to Shen Xiaoye, "Meeting is fate, please accept this, young lady.

Next time you come to the city, you can come to my Taoranju Restaurant for a visit."

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken out a sandalwood tablet about an inch in size from his body and handed it to him.

Shen Xiaoye hesitated a little, but when Taoist Qingxi's eyes told her to accept it, she took it decisively and looked at it. Her mind raced and she said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Tao. It turns out that Taoranju Restaurant was opened by you. I have an uncle who used to work as an accountant there, but he was fired a few days ago for some reason."

Although it seemed like they were just strangers, Shen Xiaoye still said that she might never go to Taoranju for dinner, but she wanted to know whether this family had any close ties with Yang Xun or Geng Shiyong.

She believed what Uncle Changshun said about the Yang family's mischief. Cousin Hui was already at odds with the other party, and her intervention further aggravated the conflict. Now she could be said to have resigned.

Later, she and her family analyzed whether what she had done was appropriate. Her grandparents immediately said: It was a little inappropriate, but the source was in their own family. The most important thing was to nip in the bud the signs that would affect Mr. Lin as soon as possible.

Moreover, my grandmother also said that the reputation of the upright and young scholars was of the utmost importance. If the news of selling books at high prices for profit was spread by someone with ulterior motives, not only Mr. Lin but also my fourth uncle would be affected.

"Before? Dismissed?" Mr. Tao said calmly: "May I know the name of the young lady's uncle?"

The treatment of his family has always been second to none in the city, and no one dares to claim to be first. Anyone who works for the Tao family will do his best.

Moreover, businesses everywhere have always been cautious about dismissing accountants.

"Shen, whose nickname is Changshun." Shen Xiaoye gave his name frankly. Although Uncle Changshun was not filial to his parents, he was said to be very dedicated as an accountant.

Mr. Tao nodded slightly: "I remember, Mr. Tao has something else to do, see you another time."

"Goodbye." Shen Xiaoye returned the greeting and watched them leave.

Taoist Qingxi gave her a little codeword outside the door, and the little black cat meowed and said, "What does the old Taoist want you to do?"

I don’t know. She uttered two words silently, checked the silver, and left quickly.

One hundred and seventy taels of silver weigh only a dozen kilograms. Putting them in the backpack and guarded by the little leopard, they are safe.

Ahem, of course, she only left a dozen taels and transferred the rest to the space, which was both effortless and safe.

When she returned to Bai's Grocery Store, she saw her two uncles sitting there in silence. When they saw her, they both stood up at the same time.

"Uncle Changshun, here is the thirteen taels of silver you need." Shen Xiaoye handed him the silver in the backpack.

Shen Changshun pushed it to her, "Relatives are relatives, and business is business.

I intend to give you five strings of cash with the remaining five taels."

"This is business. The 300 pieces of cloth before the New Year are all 32 feet long, and the price is 2.4 cents." Shen Xiaoye glanced at the figure outside the window and said.
