Among them, if the shopkeeper wants to do his hands and feet, there are many methods.

For example, silk soaked in water may only have five horses. But the shopkeeper can write ten horses in the account, and report them as damage, and the shopkeeper will make a net profit of five horses.

But the five horses he earns are also sold through the store. At this time, it is necessary to check before and after to know whether the damage is real.

There's another way to be more subtle. The loss of five horses was reported to five horses, but the loss was only ordinary plain satin, but it was reported as a good tribute satin.

But in a shop, there is not only a shopkeeper, but also an account room and a warehouse. The shopkeeper secretly does these tricks in the accounts, and it is unlikely that everyone will be bought.

This little money that has been secretly concealed is not enough for everyone to share.

Therefore, as long as the entry and exit of the treasury and the income are detailed, and the back and forth are corroborated, the irregularities of the accounts can be found.

This is called being able to read accounts and know how to read accounts.

Few slaves and maids understand the secrets of this.

Xu Wanzhen looked at Zhiyan, but it seemed that through her, she saw the huge Fan Yang Lu clan behind her. The profound family heritage of the Lu family once again made her secretly frightened.

A girl next to Miss Yan knows how to massage the meridians, comb her hair, eat, read the accounts, and can take care of her surroundings without a word, she is simply an omnipotent manager.

It's just that Feng Qi hasn't replied yet, and she doesn't dare to reuse Zhiyan.

"Young lady?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhiyan reminded her softly.

Xu Wan really came to her senses and said with a smile: "You know how to read the accounts, naturally it is better." ”

took a copy of the shop's account book and gave it to her, and said, "After reading this book first, mark out the problematic places with a red pen." ”

Let Bai Yao bring her a box of quills and the red paint she used to paint.

Zhiyan took it respectfully, held the account book and retreated. In her, there is no arrogance that she feels that she will look at the accounts, and there is only her duty.

Xu Wanzhen didn't want to read the accounts, but with Zhiyan's help, she opened these account books and piled them aside. She thought ostriches, wait until Zhiyan finishes reading this book.

Her thighs ached faintly, so she thought about something, closed her eyes and leaned on the soft couch not wanting to move. met with Wu Zhengxiang in the morning, and the two couldn't say anything. She had a lot of things to ask him, and it seemed that she would have to wait until the evening to get back.

Tonight, no matter what, you can't be fooled by him. You have to talk about things well, and when you're done, then "eat supper".

Seeing that Xu Wanzhen closed her eyes and recuperated, Bai Yao quietly went out and changed Qingmai to come in to serve.

After thinking for a while, Xu Wanzhen opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Qingmai, she didn't ask much. She never interferes in the shifts between the maids.

Only when something goes wrong will she be held accountable.

remembered that she had already handed over the post to the Anguo Mansion, so she asked Qingmai to pick out a few gifts from the warehouse, so she could bring them.

Bai Yao walked out of Zhiyuanju along the verandah and came to the place where the two stewards were entertained for dinner in the front yard. It was still early in the morning, and the kitchen had not yet put the meal on the table.

The two stewards were sitting opposite each other and sipping tea, and the two of them were relaxed.

Bai Yao saw the two of them from a distance, so she sent a servant to help her call the steward in charge of Zhuangzi out.

When the steward saw Bai Yao, he was slightly surprised: "Girl, do you want to see me?"

He had just seen her waiting behind the young lady, and she thought that she was also a big girl with a head and a face. How can you come out privately to see yourself?

Bai Shan lowered her eyes slightly, she also knew that her actions were not in accordance with the rules, but she was really concerned about Bai Shan's safety. If there is no accident, how can she ask the steward to bring a message?

"I want to ask, what happened to Bai Shan?"

Hearing this, the steward hesitated, he had just been reprimanded by the young lady for this matter.

"When I was in the palace, Bai Shan and I were good sisters. I'd like to ask if there's anything she needs help with, maybe I can help with one or two. ”

The steward said: "Actually, the young lady is right. It's just that Bai Shan didn't want to marry Zhuangtou's son, so she begged me to bring her a message. ”

Bai Yao's heart was silent. With Bai Shan's appearance, when she arrived at the hot spring village, it was normal to cause such trouble.

She thought that Bai Shan was threatened by someone, or that she was short on money. In the former, she had the cheekiness to ask the young lady for help, and in the latter, she also saved some money, which could be brought to her by the trusteeship.

Then, neither, she really couldn't help.

She knew in her heart that Bai Shan was used by the Chen family, and the young lady was extremely kind to spare her life, and she would never be allowed to return to Zhiyuanju.

Now Bai Shan knows that she is in a hurry about the marriage, why did she go earlier.

Stomping his feet, Bai Yao said, "Ask the steward to bring me a message for her." Keeping to oneself, there may be a way out. ”

Then he took out a purse and handed it to the steward, saying, "I have all this money in hand, and I want you to bring it to her." ”

A seventy-percent new silver bracelet was removed from his hand, and he said, "This, as a reward for the hard work of the steward." ”

The steward refused again and again, saying: "It is an honor to do things for the girl, and I dare not say that I am tired." ”

Bai Yao must ask him to accept it, she is the person next to the young lady, and this person is indebted.

……

After taking a nap, Bai Yao waited for Xu Wanzhen to change her clothes to go out, put on a silver fox cloak, and got into the carriage at the second gate.

The guards beside her were arranged by Wen Mulan.

When I arrived at the Anguo Mansion, I first went to ask Mrs. Zhuang for peace, and Shi Jingfu was also here.

"It's only been two months since I saw her, why did you lose so much weight?" Unexpectedly, as soon as Mrs. Zhuang saw her, she also asked this sentence.

Xu Wanzhen explained the reason and said, "I'm fine, I've asked the female doctor of Baicaotang to see it." ”

"The female doctor of Baicao Hall, but that Ling'er girl?" Shi Jingfu's eyes widened with curiosity.

"So Sister Fu also knows about her?"

Mrs. Zhuang smiled: "How can you not know that our house has been asking for doctors for many years." A female doctor came out of Baicaotang, so she invited her. ”

Her daughter-in-law, who is Shi Jingze's wife, is also from a powerful family. However, after getting married, he had a miscarriage, and then he lingered on the sickbed for a long time, and he asked a doctor for medicine for many years.

Speaking of which, Xu Wanzhen has never seen this princess. Because of her health, she did not attend all kinds of banquets. Even the routine worship of the lady in the palace was specially exempted from her.

"Miss Ling'er has to come to ask my sister-in-law for a pulse every month, I feel that she has some ability, and my sister-in-law's face looks much better in the past two months. Shi Jingfu said.

After a few more small talks, Mrs. Zhuang sent the two sisters to play by themselves. Shi Jingfu led Xu Wanzhen to her yard and played the piano with her.

Xu Wanzhen was in a good mood today, so she complied with her request, burned incense and cleaned her hands, and then concentrated on the piano.

The cheerful sound of the piano, like spring water, came out of Shi Jingfu's courtyard and floated over the Anguo Mansion. When it reached the front yard, only the sound of vagueness remained.
