Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 300 Super Memory
After returning to the room, Emmanuelle Belle began to make notes for today.

She has her own way of taking notes.

Although her memory would be reset every day from the moment she was rescued from the water, the people and things she needed to do and remember every day were limited.

With Yang Yuan, the "Black-Eyed Knight" whom she could trust as soon as she opened her eyes, by her side, she didn't need to worry too much.

She only needed to know her current relationship with Yang Yuan and the key points of the day's affairs.

To this end, she put her relationship with Yang Yuan on the first page of the memo.

At the bottom she will remind herself to go directly to the last page after reading this page.

This way, when she wakes up tomorrow, she only needs to know that after falling into the water and being rescued, she contracted a strange disease that gave her super memory but also caused her to forget things every day.

All she needs to know is that she is now Yang Yuan's internal secretary and what she is going to do with Yang Yuan that day.

It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t remember the new people she met and the new things she experienced in Lin’an, such as Madam Li and Nianhua Cottage.

Of course, there is no need to update her relationship with Yang Yuan every day.

The latest record of their relationship is: Yang Yuan is my employer, shareholder and partner, and we are going to Shanyin together to investigate a case.

But at this moment, she thought about it and added a sentence inexplicably: "If I had met him three years ago, would everything be different?"

When she turned to the last page, she wrote down the main points of today's events and reminded herself of what she would do tomorrow. After thinking for a while, she turned back to the first page.

Seeing the line of words she wrote down, it always seemed like a confession of something, which made Belle blush secretly.

So, she added with a frown, "Once love is satisfied, the charm of a person will disappear. So, it's good this way!"

When she closed the memo, Belle felt like she was almost becoming a philosopher.

Then she emptied her mind and began to pray devoutly again:
"Thank you, Lord, for filling me with the Holy Spirit so that I can listen to your teachings calmly. I am doing the work that the Lord wants me to do and serving the people that the Lord wants me to serve..."

……

The next day, Chu Xingshou rushed to the "Qijiantang" inn to pick up Yang Yuan to go to the Dujian Mansion.

Seeing Yang Yuan coming out with his concubine, who was graceful and wearing a light-browed dress, Chu Nianqiu was startled and said unhappily, "Erlang, do you also have to bring a concubine with you when you go to discuss things?"

Having a concubine was not a big deal, but Chu Nianqiu wanted to do long-term business with Yang Yuan. If this person was too ignorant, it would inevitably cause trouble for him in the future.

Yang Yuan was well prepared and quickly apologized, "Please forgive me, Chief Chu. I also know that this is not appropriate.

It was just that I had originally planned to take her to the local efficacious Zhaoti to worship Buddha and burn incense this afternoon, but I was afraid that we would not have enough time to come back after going to the Dujian Mansion, so I was presumptuous. "

When Chu Nianqiu heard this, his expression softened and he said, "Since there is a reason, it's fine.

Chu is also concerned about Erlang. I am afraid that you are young and do not know how to behave properly. If you offend the eunuch, it may be bad for you. "

Yang Yuan smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you for your advice, Chief Chu. I will keep it in mind."

The Dujian was the commander of the local garrison and had an office in the city. Just like Zhang Dujian in "Water Margin", he was the commander of the troops in Mengzhou City and had his own office in the city.

The Shanyin Military Commandery also had a layout of front yamen and back residence. The front yamen was used to handle various official business, while some of its subordinate departments and offices were all inside the commandery.

Chu Nianqiu was obviously very familiar with the Dulin Mansion. When he brought Yang Yuan and Bei'er into the mansion, he didn't even say hello to the guards at the door.

When the guards saw that it was his men, they let them in without asking any questions.

The Shanyin Bingma Dujian Mansion was also built according to the traditional regulations of "facing south, civil affairs on the left and military affairs on the right, hall in front and bedroom in the back, and prison in the southwest".

The main hall, various rooms, the curtain hall, the supporting hall, the clerk's room, etc. are all fully equipped.

Chu Nianqiu strolled to the courtyard where the money and granary and the military preparation hall were located, and led Yang Yuan and Bei'er into a signing room.

When the clerks and officials inside saw Chu Nianqiu coming in, they all stood up and greeted him warmly.

Chu Nianqiu wanted to show off his power in front of Yang Yuan, but he just smiled and nodded lightly.

He led Yang Yuan and Emmanuelle Belle through the main hall and, without knocking, entered the signing room of the judge's clerk.

"Hey, isn't Xiao Zhao here?"

Chu Nianqiu asked in a pretentious tone a clerk who accompanied him.

The clerk smiled and said, "President Zhao has gone to the Yizhang Hall to do some work. He will be back soon. Chief Chu, please have a cup of tea first."

He made room for the three of them to sit, then went to make some tea and brought it in to them.

The method of brewing tea existed before Yang Yuan led the fashion, but at that time people did not have the time to order or boil tea, so it was a simple and emergency method of drinking tea.

In the signing room of a ninth-rank minor official in Shanyin, this ancient method of brewing tea is still used.

The new method of roasting and brewing tea, which has just become popular in Lin'an, has not yet penetrated into this level of the place due to production issues.

The tea was just average. Yang Yuan took a sip and found it tasted like dried jujube leaves, so he stopped tasting it.

After a while, a minor official in his early thirties, dressed in a green robe, hurried in.

He had obviously been informed by the clerks outside. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed and smiled, "Captain Chu, I had something urgent to do this morning. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Chu Nianqiu stood up and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, come here, let me introduce you, this is the second son of the Wang family in Longshan Cang, Lin'an."

The shrewd Zhao Panshi hurriedly bowed and smiled, "So you are the second young master of Lin'an Longshan. I have heard of you for a long time."

Belle was slightly surprised when she heard this. This person actually knew the real Wang Yefan?

But Yang Yuan also cupped his hands and said to Judge Zhao with a smile, "Judge Zhao, I have heard of you for a long time."

Belle was speechless after hearing this.

Chu Nianqiu said: "The Wang family is capable of obtaining many military supplies that are both cheap and high quality, and is interested in trading with me.

But, I don't know the expenses and types of our Shanyin garrison. If I explain it to him with my own mouth, it will inevitably be suspected of deceiving him..."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Captain Chu, you are too kind, too kind."

Chu Nianqiu said, "Bring all the account books here and let the Second Young Master look at them himself so that he can know the corresponding types and quantities. This will also help us avoid insufficient supply in the future and affect our Shanyin military preparations."

When Pan Si Zhao heard this, he thought that Chief Chu wanted to change suppliers.

The Wang family must have made greater concessions to make Chu Xingtou abandon his old partner and choose the second young master of the Wang family.

This way, he can also benefit.

Therefore, Judge Zhao immediately became enthusiastic towards Yang Yuan: "I see, Second Young Master, please take a seat while I fetch the relevant account books."

Chu Nianqiu said, "You can also fetch the account books for bedding, military uniforms, and monthly food and rice. If the two families can cooperate well, you can give these to him."

Since there was money to be made, Judge Zhao naturally did not mind the trouble. He readily agreed and hurried away.

In less than a cup of tea, Zhao Panshi came in with two clerks, each of whom was holding seven or eight books. Zhao Panshi smiled and said, "I won't show you the old accounts of our department. I will only take the accounts of the expenses of military uniforms, food, rice and military weapons from the beginning of this year to now, and ask you to take a look."

Yang Yuan thanked them, and the two clerks placed more than ten account books on the table.

Yang Yuan picked up a book at random and flipped through it seriously, muttering to himself:
"Nine thousand four hundred and twenty-seven men, eighty-five horses, and a total of one hundred and twenty-four donkeys and mules. Monthly consumption..."

He pressed his fingers against the ledger, pretending to search through the contents.

Chu Nianqiu was too lazy to watch him check the accounts. Even if he only picked one or two months from each book to look at the total and then write it down, it would take some time. Besides, this kind of thing was both boring and tedious.

Chu Nianqiu sat down next to the desk of Judge Zhao, and the two of them started chatting happily.

Yang Yuan casually flipped through the total of various expenses for the past month, asked for a piece of paper, copied it down, then put the account book in front of Belle and gave her a wink.

Belle understood and pretended to be bored. She picked up the account book and turned on the human scanner mode.

Although Belle was in the room, she still wore a light-browed cape on her head.

Chu Nianqiu had seen her appearance before. Not only were her facial features delicate and flawless, but her blonde hair and blue eyes gave her an exotic look. Perhaps that was why she wore a lightly exposed top here to avoid attracting attention.

In this way, Belle was focused and quickly scanned the account book in her hand. Even if he and Zhao Panshi occasionally looked over, they couldn't find anything.

Belle's sitting posture was very elegant, and the way she flipped the pages of the book in her hands showed that she was reading leisurely and aimlessly.

Accounts of grain, bedding, military uniforms, as well as feathers, arrow shafts, cowhide, tendons, horns, swim bladder glue, lacquer, wax and other materials needed to repair military equipment.

These accounts not only show the increase and decrease in inventory and the unit and total prices of purchases and expenditures, but also the signatures of the craftsmen who repaired the crossbows.

Belle only picked out one or two months' worth of accounts for each category and looked through them. While Yang Yuan was pretending to look through them carefully and writing down some numbers, Belle had almost finished looking through them.

Chu Nianqiu was thirsty from chatting, so he had to drink a sip of tea with a bit of burnt smell and bitter taste, and asked: "Second Young Master, have you checked it out?"

"OK OK."

Yang Yuan made the final note and handed the copied papers to Chu Nianqiu.

Chu Nianqiu took it in his hand and glanced at it. There was only some very simple information written on it.

For example: bedding, monthly amount. Grain, monthly amount. Ox horns, monthly amount. Apart from this, there is no other record.

Chu Nianqiu nodded and smiled at Yang Yuan, "Please keep it for now. It will take at least until the end of this month for me and the original supplier to settle the accounts. Considering that you need to stock up, let's start from the month after next."

Yang Yuan nodded and said yes. He wanted to investigate the case and find someone to take the blame, but he didn't want the Shanyin garrison to cause any trouble.

Therefore, the matter of taking over the supply should be delayed as long as possible.

In this way, when he closes the net, the supplier here will still be there, and there will be no need to change it, which will not affect the normal supply of the Shanyin garrison.

Seeing that he did not care about taking over the business a month or half a month earlier, Chu Nianqiu looked at him with more respect and said with a smile:

"In that case, Chu will give you the order next month. Just compare it with the numbers you wrote down. There should be little difference."

While the two were talking, Belle finished reading the last volume and stood up gracefully.

When Yang Yuan saw her stand up, he said to Chu Nianqiu and Zhao Pansi, "Captain Chu, Zhao Pansi, I am sorry to bother you today. I will take my leave now."

Chu Nianqiu smiled and said, "I should have invited you to have a few drinks at noon, but since you and my concubine have other plans, I won't bother you any more.

Haha, we have many places to visit in Shanyin, you should have fun to your heart's content. "

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Although the deal has been settled, Wang will not return to Lin'an immediately.

Since we are here, we should stay in Shanyin for a while to explore some scenic spots. We will host a banquet for Chu Xingshou and Zhao Pansi another day. I hope you will honor us with your presence. "

The two sides chatted and laughed, and walked out in great harmony.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, Emmanuelle Belle felt dizzy. Yang Yuan saw her body swaying and quickly caught her.

Emmanuelle Belle tried to remain calm, but half of her body weight involuntarily fell on Yang Yuan.

When they reached the gates of the grain and treasury, Yang Yuan asked the two to stop. "I know the way out, so I won't bother Chu Xing Shou and Zhao Pan Si to see you off. Please stay, please stay."

Judge Zhao stopped at the door, watching Yang Yuan embrace his concubine who was always wearing a light-covered dress, and pouted his lips and said, "Are they really that inseparable?"

Chu Nianqiu smiled and said, "Young people, what's more, his concubine is a foreign woman, her temperament is very different from that of the women in the Central Plains."

Judge Zhao was even more disdainful after hearing this: "A barbarian woman? How can a barbarian be pretty? Just looking at her figure, she is really hot. I guess this Second Young Master Wang must have done this before the lights were on, hahaha."

Chu Nianqiu shook his head and smiled, "It is indeed difficult to pick out a beautiful person among the barbarians.

Anyway, among the foreign girls I have seen before, I couldn't find any that caught my eye.

But as for Wang Ershao's concubine, haha, you can see her for yourself at the banquet someday, she is truly stunning!"

Yang Yuan helped Emmanuelle Belle out of the door, got into his car, and told the driver to return to "Qijiantang" immediately.

Yang Yuan let Belle lean on him and held her hand, only to feel her palm was cold. Yang Yuan was a little worried, fearing that she had to remember too many things at once and her brain could not bear it.

Yang Yuan whispered, "Belle, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Bei Er said weakly, "I... I feel chest tightness and nausea, and my head is a little dizzy. It's okay. I've written it all down. I'll just take a rest."

Yang Yuan suddenly felt guilty. When she thought of this idea, she only thought about how her ability could be used, but she didn't think about how much data it would involve.

Yang Yuan couldn't help but apologize: "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it enough, at that time..."

Bei'er shook her head gently and said weakly: "Mr. Yang...don't...talk, I'm afraid I'll be distracted...and forget..."

"Okay, I won't say anything. You...you lie on my lap and take a rest."

Belle felt upset and nauseous. It was obviously not okay to sit like this, but with the shock absorption of the roads and vehicles these days, lying down directly was obviously not an option either. Only by resting her head on his legs could the shock absorption effect be achieved.

Belle thought that this was inappropriate, but she still fell down involuntarily and rested her head on his legs.

Yang Yuan touched her forehead. Although his palm was cold, her forehead was burning hot.

Yang Yuan couldn't help thinking: "Huang Yaoshi wanted Feng Hengmo to read the Nine Yin Manual, which caused her to be exhausted and die in childbirth.

I want the data that Belle wrote down, but I wonder how many copies of the Nine Yin Scriptures it would be worth.

And they are all hard-to-remember numbers. Will it harm her?

I don't know whether the "Zhelong Sleeping Pill Technique" is helpful for resting the brain and spirit.

It's just... that 'Zhelong Sleeping Pill Technique' has 'side effects'. If I teach it to her, it would inevitably have bad intentions towards her.

Oh! Let’s wait and see, I hope she will be fine when she wakes up!”
