Chapter 15: The Unpaid Price of the Ruler (2)
Chen Siyu spent ten days and a lot of effort to win a large silk business from the boss in Suzhou. www.biquge.info In order to do a good job in this business, she has been working all night in the account room for several days, and even Lin Risheng is difficult to meet her.
The candle flame in front of the table was blown back and forth by the wind, and the candle shadow reflected the ledger flickering brightly and darkly, her eyes were sour and astringent because of long-term fatigue, and she couldn't see clearly, she put the abacus back in place and smacked her mouth.
Xiao Hongye knocked lightly on the door of the account room and asked outside the door: "Miss, the master asked you if you want to go to the front hall for dinner?" ”
Chen Siyu supported himself with one hand, his eyelids fell, and he said weakly: "You come in." ”
Xiao Hongye walked lightly behind her, pointed his middle finger on her temple, and rubbed it gently. She closed the account book, her eyes were half-closed, and she said in a deep voice: "If you don't go, it must be that Hangzhou Zhizhou Si Yugu is here again." I don't like this person, let's let grandpa deal with him, I'm tired all day long, but I don't have the energy to be vain with him. You go and bring dinner here. After eating, let's work hard and hurry up to make these accounts. ”
Xiao Hongye was really distressed when she saw her working so hard, and she was angry that this Si Yu Gulai was uncomfortable, so she couldn't even eat dinner, and complained: "This Si Master is really strange, he has only been here for a few days, and he doesn't deal with the big and small things in the yamen, and he always runs to us for three days." I see that he is relying on his own official mansion, and he came to us to eat and drink, like a street begging and calling Hanako. It's Zhizhou anyway, and there is still a shortage of gold and silver around him, which is really temperamental. Even if we have mountains of gold and silver here, I'm afraid he won't be able to remember. ”
Chen Siyu sneered: "Then you are wrong, he is really worried about our family's treasure, if it is really Jinshan Yinhai can send it, it will be fine." ”
Xiao Hongye Qi said: "What treasure can our family have that is more valuable than Jinshan Yinhai?" ”
The rich fragrance of jasmine on Chen Siyu's body was intoxicating, and she turned her mind and laughed: "Oh, he shouldn't be thinking about our eldest lady, it is indeed a treasure that thousands of gold and silver can't match." ”
Hearing her joke, Chen Siyu's eyes opened a slit, covered his eyes again, and said, "No, you little hoof, talking nonsense, see if I don't find a needle to sew your mouth shut." He's a withered old man, half of his body is in the ground, don't say it's me, just go to the street to find a yellow flower girl, I'm afraid I'd rather jump into the river and become a monk than follow him. ”
Xiao Hongye squeezed her shoulders and quipped: "That's it, not to mention that there is such a handsome person as Lin Gongzi next to you, Miss, you have him in mind, and it will be even more difficult for outsiders to enter your eyes, Miss." ”
Chen Siyu blushed slightly, tore away her hands on both sides of her head, tilted her head and squinted at her, and said suspiciously: "Come on, it's him who thinks about me, and you think about him, if you think he's good, you go with him, I don't dare to keep you." ”
Xiao Hongye pursed his lips and smiled, raised his orchid fingers with both hands and said to the middle: "Hey, where am I matched, you two are a pair of winged birds in the sky, a pair of branches on the ground, I am at most a magpie in the sky, I will draw you the bridge of the tower, and when you are happy, fly around and shout congratulations, congratulations." ”
Chen Siyu was so ashamed that she covered her face with a silk handkerchief, turned around, and raised her hand to beat her through the back of the chair. While dodging the other party's attack, she asked with a smile: "Miss, when will Lin Gongzi propose to the master?" ”
Chen Siyu saw that he couldn't beat her, and listened to her talk about this, so he simply threw the silk handkerchief and admitted generously: "You wait, it's almost over." After saying that, I felt embarrassed again, and my face was like being coated with chili peppers, and I burned a piece of heat.
Xiao Hongye leaned on the back of the chair and bent over with a smile, Chen Siyu thought she was making fun of herself for not being ashamed, so she smiled, turned away, pulled her face, and said hatefully: "If you mess around again, I will be angry." ”
"Okay, okay, my young lady, wait until you tell me what the baby of our villa is, will you be angry again?"
Chen Siyu pursed his lips, stretched out a hand to her, coughed, Xiao Hongye picked up a cup of tea, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully invited her to use tea. The two of them just joked like this for a while, holding hands intimately like sisters.
"Do you know why our Zhuangzi is not called 'Tomorrow' Villa, 'Mingyue' Villa, but Mingbi Villa?" Chen Siyu's sudden question made Xiao Hongye speechless. Since she can remember, in addition to the names of her parents, the third name she remembers is Mingbi Villa. People probably have the habit of being lazy to accept things that are conventional and commonplace, just as few people think about why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Mingbi Villa is called Mingbi Villa, where is the reason needed?
Xiao Hongye looked dazed. Chen Siyu grinned and said: "Fool, since it is called Mingbi Villa, it is naturally because we have a piece of jade that is unparalleled in the world." ”
"Oh." Chen Siyu woke up the dreamer with a word, the puzzle was so simple, Xiao Hongye sighed regretfully.
Xiao Hongye was about to continue asking, a black shadow gradually converged on the window in the shape of a human, Chen Siyu glanced at her vigilantly, she received a hint, and yelled at the window: "Who is where, come out, I don't know that this is the important place of the account, and idlers are not allowed to approach." ”
There was a slight knock outside the door, the two looked at each other, Xiao Hongye got up and opened the door lock, opened his mouth to train someone, a red lacquer tray trembled into the door, and a celadon medicine bowl was placed on it, and there was a refreshing decoction floating in the bowl.
The visitor lowered his head slightly, raised his hands on the plate, the tray was level with his forehead, covering his face, and the two couldn't see her face, only heard her reply softly: "Lin Gongzi saw that Miss had to stay up late these days, so he specially made a decoction for Miss to extinguish the fire." Before Lin Gongzi went to the clinic, he instructed the slave maid to hand over the decoction to Sister Hongye, and the slave and maid saw that her sister would never come, and she was afraid that the decoction would be cold, so she dared to send it over. The slave knows the rules in the Zhuangzi, except for the old lady and the red leaf sister, outsiders are not allowed to approach the account room, but today is a last resort, please Miss Don't blame. After saying that, she raised a pretty face, and a pair of almond eyes were shrouded in a faint mist.
This explanation is reasonable, coupled with her innocent and pitiful eyes, Xiao Hongye is not good to accuse her again, just smiled dryly and took the decoction in her hand, and pointed out euphemistically: "It's Linglin, you don't understand the rules, just do it this time, don't take it as an example." ”
Chen Siyu sat silent, staring at Bai Linglin's eyes in his sockets, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hung a trace of an intriguing smile. She pondered for a while and smiled lightly: "You don't have to be too careful, since I have the heart to promote her, I naturally want to give her some opportunities to hone and hone, after all, there are many things in this account, you can't be busy alone, just let her help you." Let's start with the rough work of serving tea and water, and when she comes out later, I will have one more person available when I talk about business. ”
Bai Linglin knelt on the ground excitedly, kowtowed, and said: "The slave maid should live up to the kindness of the young lady, and in the future, she will study with Sister Hongye attentively, and she will definitely not live up to the cultivation of the young lady." ”
Chen Siyu exhaled, coughed a few times, pinched his throat with his hand, and pretended to be very uncomfortable. Seeing this, Xiao Hongye immediately stepped to the table and went to get the cup, she stopped it with her hand and raised her eyebrows at Bai Linglin.
Bai Linglin stood up in a panic, and the hand holding the kettle trembled with nervousness. She handed over the brewed tea, Chen Siyu took it with a smile, put it aside, but didn't drink it but taught the students like a female gentleman: "That's right, if you want to go out through the scene, you must first learn to look at the eyes, and you must learn to be sweet. ”
She paused, and said seriously: "And don't feel that the master has nothing to do without instructions, and if you have nothing to do, you have to find something to do, your hands and feet must not be relaxed, your eyes and ears are always flexible, remember to be lazy, and think all the time." The insight of the world is all knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. You are a clever girl, presumably this will not be difficult for you.
"Alright." She shifted her body and sat upright, her eyes no longer looked at her, she took back the image of a teacher who taught earnestly, and took out the shelf as the master and said, "I'm hungry." ”
This time, Bai Linglin reacted quickly, and immediately responded: "The slave will go to the kitchen to serve you food, please wait for a while." ”
Chen Siyu waved her hand, and she bowed and retreated.
"Master, do you really feel at ease to let her enter the account room?" As soon as Bai Linglin left, Xiao Hongye asked impatiently and quietly.
"What, you think she's unreliable?"
"That's not it, one of them, she is from outside, and she is not as loyal as Qiurong's girls; Second, this girl's background is pitiful, and the master was deceived by the slaves of Cao Ru, and almost wronged her, and she felt guilty and wanted to compensate her, but there was also a degree. The girl is a loner on weekdays, and she doesn't talk to anyone, let alone have friends, her temper is inevitably higher, and she acts ruthlessly, and the master only thinks about how she cuts Cao Ru when she escapes. Xiao Hongye has always been attentive to his master, so he unreservedly expressed his worries and thoughts in his heart.
Chen Siyu showed an expression that she had expected to say this, and said confidently: "I thought of what you said." Since I dare to use her, I can naturally subdue her. ”
She smiled narrowly and deliberately teased her: "You Rory is talking so much, are you afraid that she will steal your position?" ”
Xiao Hongye said with a smile: "Oh, Miss Yo, the conscience of heaven and earth, you are not afraid of the wind and slapping your tongue when you say this, am I the kind of person who is cautious?" If she is really a usable talent, and many people share the worries of the young lady, it is too late for me to be happy. If you have this kind of mind about me, I won't talk much in the future, Miss Sui, whether you recruit bandits into the house, or robbers into the house, I don't care."
"Don't worry, you can't run away, it's not yours, and you can't snatch it away with any crooked brains." Chen Siyu said meaningfully at the door. "Well, let's continue to talk about Yubi." Her thinking changed too quickly, Xiao Hongye almost couldn't keep up, and was stunned for a while before responding: "Oh, okay." (To be continued.) )
