Chapter 868: Audit

Who meets these conditions, besides Liu Qilan?

"I met you yesterday at the Pingguo Mansion?"

Xu Wanzhen hummed and said, "If she hadn't mentioned it, where would I have thought of this person." ”

The corners of Wu Zhengxiang's lips turned up slightly, where was he willing to be angry with her.

It's just that Fan Bin is the one who proposed to her after all, and he has a deep affection for her. In the sword test between the two of them, Wu Zhengxiang could feel his determination.

He also once thought that Fan Bin could bring her more happiness because of his own reasons.

Although from beginning to end, Xu Wanzhen never gave him vain hope. But as a man, it is always a little delicious to hear the name of a rival in love.

"There's no rush in this matter. "He knows the war in the Northland. Knowing that he has won a complete victory, the crown prince is currently leading a large army to take advantage of the situation to sweep away the remnants of the Ba family.

In the list of casualties, he did not see Fan Bin's name. Fan Bin's martial arts were practiced in the group of horse thieves, which was especially suitable for battlefield killing.

In such a good situation, he should have nothing to do.

But such news could not be spread, so as not to affect the major events of Emperor Qinglong. Wu Zhengxiang thought for a while and said, "Ten days, wait another ten days." ”

Xu Wanzhen nodded, seeing that his expression was solemn, and knew that this matter was related to the major events he had told him before, so he didn't ask any more.

The sun gradually came to the top of her head, and Bai Yao took the little maid to set a meal for the two of them in the warm pavilion.

The steward of Zhuangzi has just come, and in addition to paying the account, he also brought some fresh goods from Zhuangzi. There are tangerines, vegetables, etc.

Among them, there are a few cinnamon fish that are very fresh. Because Wu Zhengxiang likes sweets, Xu Wanzhen instructed Feng Xing's daughter-in-law to rectify a famous Suzhou dish "Squirrel Guiyu", and Wu Zhengxiang ate it very happily.

Looking at the time, Wu Zhengxiang said: "I'm out, and if I can't come back for dinner, I'll send someone to tell you." ”

Xu Wan really responded, and he hurried away. In order to cooperate with Emperor Qinglong's major event, he has a lot of things on his hands, and he can't make mistakes in any of them.

After taking a nap, Zhiyan came in to reply and presented the account book he had taken yesterday.

Xu Wanzhen was slightly surprised, so fast, you must know that the account book written with a quill pen can withstand two or three books in the past.

Spread out the account book on the bookcase, turn the pages one by one, and the problematic places are hooked with red pens, and there are juanxiu Xiaokai who made notes on the side.

Zhiyan presented a booklet with more than ten pages. Xu Wanzhen opened it and took a look, and the problematic places were gathered and categorized by item.

How many things went wrong, which ones were miscalculations, and what were deliberate? Related to it, where is the supporting data, it is clearly marked.

Xu Wanzhen took one of them, looked at it before and after, and sure enough, it was right.

glanced at Zhiyan's red eyes, his face was respectful, and he did not mean to be arrogant at all.

Xu Wan really knew what was on her mind.

After returning to Zhiyuanju, although she has good ability, she is qualified for the position of big girl. But because of her background and the shallowest time with Xu Wanzhen, she was set to be a second-class maid, and there were not many opportunities to be by Xu Wanzhen's side.

Knowing Yan's heart, she was naturally afraid that if this continued, Xu Wan would really forget about the Lu family. found this opportunity to show his face in front of her.

Even if she doesn't say anything, as long as she sees her, Xu Wanzhen will not forget the Lu family.

This kind of moisturizing and silent means is indeed worthy of being a slave carefully trained by the family.

"Very nice. Xu Wanzhen nodded, instructed Qingmai to look at the reward, and handed over the remaining account books to her. "Don't rush, take your time." ”

Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, knowing that she had been recognized. Holding the account book, she retreated silently after bowing.

Xu Wanzhen sat down in front of the bookcase, spread out the account book and looked at it carefully.

The account book she handed over to Zhiyan recorded the accounts of a silk shop and the North and South Goods Stores.

After Zhiyan sorted out, the accounts of the silk shop were clear, and occasional errors and omissions were also caused by negligence. I think it is because silk is the main business of the Xu family, and a large number of loyal shopkeepers and bookkeepers have been cultivated in this industry. They are experienced and faithful.

And the North and South Cargo Banks are obviously not so honest. There are many types of goods and they are not fixed. Some goods are sold for only a month and then stopped being sold. Among them, there are obviously more places to do your hands and feet.

In the past few months, there have only been more than 30 taels of silver in the silk shop. It is not easy to use such a primitive method of bookkeeping.

The difference between the north and the south cargo banks is as much as five or six hundred taels. There are mistakes and omissions, but more of them are deliberate deception, and they are very secretive.

Xu Wanzhen thought about it for a while, and ordered to inform the manager of the shop, and let him come together with the manager of the north and south freight stores. The North and South Freight Lines are not in Beijing, and there are a few days to go.

Since she has discovered that something is wrong, she can't rely on Xu Wenmin to stand up for her in everything. This is her dowry, and entrusting her brother to help her run it has saved a lot of effort.

The manager of the North and South Cargo Stores, since he dared to fool her like this, and was so unfortunate that she was discovered, Xu Wanzhen didn't mind killing the chickens and monkeys first.

Wait for Zhiyan to read all the remaining accounts, and dispose of the rest together.

Closing the account book, Bai Yao presented a warm towel steamed with medicine and massaged her eyes. These are all recipes for Mama Zheng to stay in the palace to relieve the fatigue around the eyes and clear the eyes.

Xu Wanzhen leaned on the back of the chair, enjoying Bai Yao's massage with just the right amount of strength, and once again felt that the nobles of the ancients were the nobles who really knew how to enjoy. Such a luxurious and comfortable life is really easy to fall.

It is no wonder that countless people have bent their waists, runs, and flies for power. If you're used to enjoying it, you won't even feel able to tolerate the thought that you might lose it.

"Call Qingluo. She commanded with her eyes closed.

After a while, Qingluo entered the door to salute, "I've seen the young lady." ”

After Bai Yao finished massaging her, she changed into a warm towel and continued to warm her compress.

"Which family did the daughter of Yao Shangshu's mansion give to?" Liu Qilan reminded her, and Xu Wanzhen took this matter to heart. Wu Zhengxiang has something important to do, so she can handle this matter by herself.

"Back to the young lady's words, the maid heard that he was given the right squire of the criminal department to be the step-room. ”

"Quan Shilang?" Xu Wanzhen took away the hot compress towel and sat down and looked at Qingluo.

Qingluo herself knows that her temperament is not very smart. In terms of affection, it is far inferior to Sangzi and Caisi, and it is not as calm and thoughtful as Qingmai, and it is even inferior to the newly promoted intellectuals, each with its own skills.

can serve in front of the young lady, but it depends on her ability to inquire about the news. Therefore, she will strive for more opportunities to go out on errands, and she will inquire carefully about what happened in Beijing.

She knows the news in the house even better. When the young lady asked, she wouldn't say she didn't know.
