Chapter 95: Greed for Money and Falling into the Trap

"Sir." Xiangling placed the ginseng soup in front of Chen Ran and said, "Drink the soup."

"Okay." Rubbing his lower back, Chen Ran picked up the soup and drank it all, smacking his lips, "I'll add more wolfberries next time."

In the modern world, Chen Ran asked a master of Chinese studies to help him with the academy's examination questions, and studied with him for a week.

Liu Ruyan didn't ask him where he got the money to buy the car and the house. She moved into his new house very naturally and drove his car to start her own business.

But every night when he comes back, he will be trained in riding skills, which is very unrestrained.

After living under a crotch for a week straight, Chen Ran couldn't stand it anymore and ran back to the world of Dream of Red Mansions.

"Sir." After putting away the soup bowls, Xiangling brought an account book. "The people in the shop said that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and they need to go to various houses to settle accounts."

When wealthy families shop in places like jewelry stores, they don't use cash transactions.

Normally, people go to the shop to choose and take the items away directly, and everything is recorded.

During the third festival, merchants will come to settle the bill.

The scenes in movies and TV dramas where people enter a store and throw silver and banknotes to buy things will not appear in the homes of royal relatives or civil and military nobles.

"Ah."

Chen Ran took the account book and looked through it. "Take a few accountants with you. Don't show your fear."

After finishing her work, Xiangling made the bed for Chen Ran and called him to rest.

"Okay, I'll do it myself." Seeing Xiangling blushing and wanting to change clothes for herself, Chen Ran hurriedly sent her out.

There's no way, I'm running out of energy~~~
After successfully entering the academy, Chen Ran began his student days.

He had no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics or the great principles of sages, and his academic performance was at the bottom of the class.

But every time he took an exam, his results were always excellent, which surprised many people.

Chen Ran explained, "I am an exam-oriented person. Whenever I have an exam, I will have a lot of ideas."

One day, he was returning home from the academy and stopped by the shop to take a look.

Before entering the door, I heard the sound of quarreling coming from inside.

A young woman spoke very quickly and sharply, "Your shop is cheating people by shortchanging people. At worst, I will report you to the police! I'll see if your shop can still operate!"

When I stepped into the shop, I saw a girl with a charming figure and a pair of fox-like eyes, who was arguing with her hands on her waist, "Black shop, black shop!"

Because she was a girl, the shop assistants had a hard time dealing with her. When they saw Chen Ran coming in, they were overjoyed and said, "Young Master~~~"

The woman looked over with beautiful eyes that were full of allure.

'The red peach blossoms are crushed all over the ground, and the fallen jade mountain is hard to support. You Sanjie has a fierce personality and has been strong all her life. She has not met a good man, and she dies in regret.'

'Note: You can modify one of the words.'

After taking a look at the fair-skinned, beautiful and graceful Third Sister You, Chen Ran asked the waiter, "Where is your boss?"

"The boss has gone to collect the debt."

The clerk quickly explained, "This girl came to the store to have her hairpin repaired. After it was repaired, she insisted that the weight was wrong and that the store had deducted some weight."

"Are you the shopkeeper?" Third Sister You stepped forward and looked into Chen Ran's eyes fearlessly. "Before I came to have my hair repaired, this hairpin was worth two taels, three qian, seven and a half cents. After it was repaired, I weighed it again and it was only worth two taels, three qian, four and a half cents. What a shady shop!"

He picked up the hairpin and placed it on the scale, and found that it weighed exactly two taels, three qian, four fen and six li.

Glancing at her, Chen Ran called out, "Please come in, Master."

The master craftsman working in the backyard was invited over and explained, "The gold hairpin sent by this girl was stained a lot, and it is natural that it will be less contaminated after cleaning. When running a shop, reputation is the most important thing. How could they do such a thing just to deduct a few cents of gold?"

Chen Ran frowned. "You didn't weigh it before taking the job?"

The guys were obviously panicking. "The boss went to collect the debt, and we were careless for a moment."

Waving his hand, Chen Ran looked at Sister You, who was raising her chin, and said, "Miss, can you pay me money to settle this?"

"Humph." Sister You San nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, then I'll pay you ten taels of silver."

"What? Ten taels of silver? Why don't you just rob?!" Upon hearing the price, the guys jumped up in anger.

The compensation money may be deducted from their wages!
"Shut up." Chen Ran shouted, "Take out ten taels of silver from the account to compensate this girl, and put it in the public account."

"Young Master is generous."

Third Sister You picked up the golden hairpin with a smile, accepted the compensation money, and left with the receipt, leaving behind a string of bell-like laughter.

Looking at her departing back, Chen Ran raised his hand and changed "be strong all your life" to "be rich all your life".

When I got home, I saw Xiangling had returned early and was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

"It's so early today"

Before Chen Ran finished his greeting, two lines of subtitles floated past his eyes.

'Ping'er's modification has been completed, and the reward is now issued.'

'Note: One account book will be issued.'

"Ledger?"

"Sir." Xiangling went inside the house and came out with an account book in her hand. "Today I went to the Rong and Ning mansions to settle the accounts and met Miss Ping'er. She asked me to give this to you and told me not to let anyone know."

Taking the account book, Chen Ran flipped through it, and the more he looked, the weirder his expression became.

Xiangling asked curiously, "Master, what are these things recorded?"

Chen Ran seemed to be unable to believe it for a moment. He closed the account book for a while before he said, "It's the account book of the second lady of Rongguo Mansion who lent money at interest."

Xiangling covered her mouth and cried out softly, "Ah?!"

The words are divided into two ends, each expressing one side.

Third Sister You happily returned to her home in Huazhi Lane and told Old Lady You what happened today. Both mother and daughter were delighted. "Mother, when you return the hairpin to your eldest sister in a few days, ask her to lend you a bigger, heavier, and more expensive piece of jewelry."

Their family has no pillar, and life is difficult, so they can't afford jewelry like gold hairpins.

Originally, it was borrowed by Old Lady You from her eldest daughter, Youshi, at Ningguo Mansion in order to save face.

She accidentally fell while attending a wedding, and the bicycle became dirty and bent, so You Erjie took it to have it repaired.

Unexpectedly, this renovation turned out to be a way to make money.

"After some time, I'll take the jewelry to the shop and make some money."

The mother and daughter happily discussed how to make a fortune, and You Erjie whispered to them, "This is not good."

"What do you know?" Third Sister You scolded unhappily, "He was the one who was stupid enough to give the money, why don't you blame me~~~"

Yu Shi from Ningguo Mansion was somewhat dissatisfied, but she still lent him a heavy gold bracelet.

Sister You was so happy that she threw the gold bracelet on the ground, which was covered with dirt and dust, and ran happily to Xiangling's jewelry shop.

The guys didn't dare to take her job, so she made a big fuss in the shop. They had no choice but to send someone to look for Chen Ran.

"here we go again?"

Hearing this, Chen Ran stood up with a half-smile, "Once a woman is greedy for money, she will take the initiative to give men opportunities~~~Hey."

It's okay to take advantage once. After all, the shop made the mistake first, so just consider it as paying for a lesson.

But if you still want to continue to take advantage, then any consequences will be your own fault.

Arriving at the shop, Chen Ran saw the high-spirited Third Sister You and joked with a smile, "Miss, are you here to repair your gold jewelry again?"

Third Sister You raised her head and replied, "There are a lot of gold ornaments at home! Why, your shop doesn't dare to take on the work? Then don't open the shop in the future, close it early and save trouble."

Chen Ran frowned for a moment. "Girl, you have to think it through. Ill-gotten gains will bring disaster."

"You are such a boring person." Third Sister You rolled her eyes and said, "I am not afraid of anything!"

"Okay, you'll definitely know later whether I have the strength or not."

Chen Ran called the accountant, "Open the order, we've got this job."

"Sir," a waiter whispered, "why don't you wash it first?"

Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

After the record sheet was made, You Sanjie signed and sealed it, and each of them took two copies.

"Girl, come and get it in three days."

After Third Sister You left happily, Chen Ran went to the backyard to look for the master goldsmith and asked, "Does your shop have any work for gold bracelets recently?"

"Yes." The master chef looked through the account book. "Niu Jizong, the first-class baron of the Zhenguo Mansion, ordered a gold bracelet for his concubine."

Chen Ran handed over the gold bracelet brought by Third Sister You. "Make another one according to this design, and engrave the pattern of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion inside. I want to see the finished product in three days."

The master chef was well versed in the ways of being a good person and did not ask any further questions. He just picked up the gold bracelet and looked at it.

Three days later, the happy Third Sister You came again. Chen Ran took her into the golden house to pick up the goods. After she came out, as expected, she started yelling that the quantity was not right.

'I gave you a chance.'

Chen Ran didn't waste any words. He compensated her with another thirty taels of silver and wrote out two copies of the receipt for each of them to take.

Holding the heavy silver in her hand, You Sanjie was almost grinning, and there was only the silver in her fox eyes. She didn't notice that Chen Ran, who was standing beside her, was looking at her with pity.

"Sir." Sister You smiled charmingly and threw a wink at Chen Ran. "You are such a good person~~~I live in the You family in Huazhi Lane."

Chen Ran knew that Third Sister You was attracted by his youth and wealth.

If you act now and are willing to spend money, you may be able to succeed.

After all, in the original novel, Third Sister You made a lot of money by dealing with a few useless people in the Jia family.

Of course, they were all succeeded by those from the Jia family.

Chen Ran chose a way that didn't cost any money.

After the beaming Third Sister You left, Chen Ran turned his head and called to the clerk, "Go to the county government and report to the authorities. Gold jewelry has been lost from the shop."

Huazhi Lane, You family.

When Third Sister You and Old Lady You were laughing while holding the thirty taels of silver, the courtyard door outside was slammed with a deafening sound.

You Erjie ran out to open the door, and a group of constables from the county government rushed in like hungry wolves.

You Erjie, who followed out, saw Chen Ran who entered the yard later, and immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, if you don't want to give me money, just say so. What do you mean?"

"Girl, don't talk nonsense." Chen Ran immediately said seriously, "I have never been to a place with fireworks."

"You?!" Third Sister You realized that there was some ambiguity in her words and she was so angry that she was shaking.

"Miss You." Chen Ran didn't waste any words and walked straight into the house. "Gold jewelry was lost in the shop. The only ones who entered the gold shop today are me and you. You should hand over the stolen gold jewelry."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Third Sister You was furious and shouted to the detectives who rushed in, "This gold jewelry belongs to my sister. I have the receipt and the receipt."

The constable carefully checked the documents and receipt, and knowing that there was no problem, he immediately looked at Chen Ran in confusion.

Chen Ran calmly hid Youshi's gold bracelet under the bed sheet, then reached out and pointed at the new bracelet on the table. "Take a closer look at the engraving inside."

'.Ordered by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, made by Xueji Goldsmith Hu'

"Impossible?!" Third Sister You was stunned. "Where is my sister's gold bracelet?!"
