The Rare Love of Time Traveling

Chapter 27, Separation

"My lord, it's time to get up." Ah Yi called softly outside the door, not because he was ignorant, but today was the day when Liu came in to ask for property, so don't be careless.

"Stop making trouble." Han Lin rubbed Liu Minkang's hair with his chin, and got tired of lying on the bed for a while, finally coaxing Liu Minkang to let him go, and it was getting late.

It didn't take long for the two of them to get up and wash up, when someone came to the door with a letter of invitation from Tai Bu Ling Liu Jin.

After another meeting, Liu Jin really brought the family hall of Sheyang Mansion and entered Liu Minkang's mansion in a mighty manner.

Last night, he also asked someone to make a good calculation. Liu Minkang has done big business in Chang'an City in the past two years. Taking Chang'an's property back this time must not be a small sum. The new Marquis promised before coming here. He, he can get more than [-]% of it. Thinking about it, this is an unimaginable wealth, and thinking about it, a smug smile floated on his face.

When Liu Minkang saw his appearance, an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.

Han Lin also wore a green cloth robe today, looking gentle and elegant. He stood beside Liu Minkang. There were two of them, one noble and handsome, the other cool and handsome, so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off.

Seeing that Liu Jin brought so many people in, Han Lin was a little nervous,

Liu Minkang gently took his hand and found that it was covered with cold sweat, so he gently turned his face and said softly: "Don't be afraid, in terms of the number of people, there are hundreds of people in my house, more than a few hundred people." There are many of them."

Han Lin held his hand instead and said, "What if they force those businesses?"

"Let him ask for it. I have ordered all the shopkeepers. Without my token, no one can touch a penny on the cabinet." After finishing speaking, he lifted the jade pendant around his neck.

It turned out that the jade pendant was his token, and Han Lin was a little relieved.

At this time, Deng Tong in official uniform came over, and Liu Minkang hurriedly asked, "Did your son answer?"

"Yes," he said and took out a letter from his pocket, "he agreed."

Opening the letter and carefully reading the contents three times, Liu Minkang exhaled and put the letter into his arms with a smile.

At least there is a guarantee from the acting king. Even if his brothers who have failed to do anything violently rob Tongshan, they will not be able to rob a country's army.

In the front hall, Ah Yi and Wang An welcomed Liu Jin in with a smile. Zhou Bo couldn't come because he went to the palace to discuss the military situation because of Ping Yan's matter. Now everyone has arrived and the play has begun.

When Liu entered the hall, he saw a strange young master standing beside Liu Minkang. It was a little strange.

Liu Minkang introduced: "This is my chief accountant, Han Lin."

Han Lin immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted, "I have met Liu Taibu."

Liu Jin glanced at Han Lin and said, "I heard that Chang'an's head accountant is Cheng Lin, Master Cheng, when did he change to such a young man?"

As soon as this remark came out, Han Lin's face became a little uncomfortable.

Liu Minkang frowned in displeasure, and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Third uncle doesn't know something, this Mr. Lin is very talented, and he is proficient in everything from poetry to poetry."

Oh, it turned out to be a romantic young man, judging by his age, he won't have any achievements, it must be an embroidered pillow.That's a good thing, it's easier than dealing with Cheng Lin!

After thinking about it, a disdainful smile appeared on Liu Jin's face.

Han Lin was a little angry, but seeing Liu Minkang nodded to him, he realized that he said that on purpose. It seemed that he wanted Liu Jin to underestimate the enemy, and he was right.

Liu Minkang introduced Deng Tong to Liu Jin.

As soon as Liu Jin heard that Deng Tong was the chief minister, he immediately greeted him with a smiling face, and then everyone took their seats as guests and hosts.

Liu Minkang put all the account books on the table, and asked the accountants on both sides to read all the accounts.

Liu Jin and Deng Tong were sitting on the main table, drinking tea, and chatting with their parents. After a while, the accountant he brought settled all the accounts, and reported to him, which almost made him lose his temper.

Two years ago, the Marquis of Sheyang's industry in Chang'an was extremely sluggish. Although Liu Minkang had worked hard for the past two years and watched the rumors spread, the workers' wages and the tribute to the Sheyang Mansion did not make much money. Silver taels, plus Hou Ye has five sons, one wife, two side wives, and three brothers, and each of them has to share dividends from here. Calculated in this way, there are even fewer left now.

Liu Jin's face turned into a pig's liver color, never thought that there was only such a little, how could this make him go back to work.

The shopkeepers from all over Chang'an stood aside, not intending to get involved in it at all, they were obviously joking.

Liu Jin couldn't get angry because of Deng Tong's face, but after all, he still knew a little about these businesses of the Liu family, so he opened the account books to look at it himself.

It really allowed him to find some flaws, but unfortunately, under Han Lin's clever words, he covered them all up, and finally, he found Tongshan.

"No, Tongshan was bestowed upon us by Gaozu himself to the Liu family in Sheyang. Why isn't it on the account book?"

"The third uncle doesn't know something." Liu Minkang stepped forward and saluted: "When Minkang first arrived in Chang'an, Chang'an's business was difficult to maintain due to successive years of deficit, so I sold Tongshan to a local rich man in Jinyang. household."

Liu Jinjin knocked over the cup in his hand, and glared at Liu Minkang fiercely: "Nonsense, don't think I don't know anything in Sheyang, Liu Minkang, you actually want to steal the money from the palace, hurry up, hurry up!" Hand over the title deed to Copper Mountain."

Copper produced in Tongshan ranges from bronze wares to coins, none of which use copper. It can be said that whoever owns Tongshan will have a steady stream of wealth.

Liu Minkang turned to look at Deng Tong.

Deng Tong curled his lips quietly, stepped forward to Liu Jin with a busy smile, and said, "Don't be angry with Liu Taibu. You can't blame Mr. Liu for this matter. When he sold Tongshan to that rich man, I was also present."

Deng Tong is still young, but he has been able to stay calm in times of crisis and not panic when things change.

Everyone saw that he called his attendant without any haste, took a silk book from the attendant, and handed it to Liu Jindao: "Liu Taibu, please look, this is the transaction document at that time, with the seal of the three prefectures on it. There are also witness marks."

"Why, how did this happen, we don't even know about it?" Liu Jin immediately became angry, "Isn't this going to cut off our money?" It will be defeated every year.

The servant Liu Jin brought from Sheyang saw his master's expression and knew something was wrong. He touched his waist and was about to do it when he saw it.

Deng Minkang glanced at these people and snorted coldly, "Sanbo, you have seen the account too. If you want to take it, take it all away. You will send someone to watch over these businesses in the future. I don't care. I don't care." Only take what I deserve, and I will move out of this house tomorrow and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to enjoy."

"Don't," Liu Jin's arrogance immediately extinguished a lot, this is Liu Minkang's territory, even if he wants to take over, Liu Minkang has to hand it over to him, and he can't take over if he insists.

So looking at Liu Minkang's face, he slowed down his voice and said, "Minkang, this is the capital city, and you have to be reasonable in everything you do. In this way, Sanbo, I am coming to Chang'an for the first time, and I am not familiar with the place where I live. From tomorrow onwards, I will be troublesome." Take me to various businesses to have a look. I also brought some people from Sheyang, let them have a good handover with your people, how about it?"

Han Lin tugged at Liu Minkang's left sleeve. It was obvious that this Liu Jin was suspicious of what was in today's account book, and he wanted to go to the store to see for himself.

Liu Minkang looked back at him, curled his lips, nodded slightly, then turned to Liu Jin and said, "Third Uncle, I would do the same thing even if you don't tell me. But let's make an agreement, within three days, I will put all the I leave everything to you, whether your people can take over or not, I don't care."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Liu Jin narrowed his old eyes and smiled sinisterly.

For the next three days, Liu Minkang was so boring that he could bloom flowers.

Liu Jin followed him to visit all the shops in Chang'an City. Of course, those shopkeepers only recognized Liu Minkang, and they ignored the people Liu Jin sent, and Liu Jin had nothing to do.

I went around a lot, asked a lot, Liu Jin spent a lot of money on managing those shopkeepers, but I couldn't ask a single thing.

On the last day, when the two passed by Xiangwanglou, Liu Minkang saw Du Yunxi who was out shopping at a glance.

Du Yunxi carried a small carved basket in his left hand. Inside the basket were incense candles, paper money and other things. It seemed that he was going to visit the grave.

Liu Minkang's eyes were bright, and he secretly made up his mind, and immediately ran to Du Yunxi to block her way.

Yun Xi originally lowered her head, but found that the road was blocked by someone, then raised her head and saw Liu Minkang's handsome face full of smiles

"Yun Xi, where are you going?"

"Go...go burn incense for mother."

"Oh," Liu Minkang looked at Liu Jin, "I'm fine anyway, how about I go with you?"

Du Yunxi glanced at him, a little puzzled.

At this time, another middle-aged man came running not far away. He looked up and down Du Yunxi with scrutiny, which made her even more surprised.

"Minkang, who is this woman?"

Liu Minkang pursed his lips and said with a slight smile, "Uncle San, this is my fiancee, Du Yunxi."

"Yun Xi, this is my third uncle."

Du Yunxi blushed, and gave a little blessing: "Hello, Uncle San."

"Fiancee? When did you get engaged? How come I don't know."

"It just so happens," Liu Minkang immediately smiled flirtatiously, "Yun Xi and I met on a blind date, and my uncle protected me as a matchmaker. We... fell in love at first sight, so we decided to get married in three months. Sheyang Li Chang'an It’s too far away, it’s estimated that the messenger is still on the way.”

Liu Jin was still puzzled, so Liu Minkang immediately took Du Yunxi's small basket and said, "Sanbo, today is the anniversary of Yunxi's mother's death. I promised to accompany her to offer incense, but it's getting late now. Go with her now."

"Oh... so..." Before Liu Jin formally agreed, Liu Minkang had already dragged him away impatiently.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Liu Jin suddenly reacted, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, there are still a few shops we haven't visited today!"

How could Liu Minkang pay any attention to him, so he dragged him out of the north gate and walked to the suburbs.
