Since Chen Zinan's strong order, the work of checking the account books every day, checking the accounts, adding, deleting, adding and adding surpluses has all fallen on her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is not as many as the accounts of more than a dozen branches of the tea house, it is also cumbersome.

There are so many owners of each house, as well as kitchens, handymen, husbands, hired maids, horse fodder, consumables, repairs to huge houses, etc., and countless expenses, large or small, and there is no fixed value.

Then there is the income, tenant farmers, shops, loans, and the profits that cannot be repaid, the monthly income of the father-in-law and Chen Jiakun, and the queen's rewards from time to time, etc., are simply dazzling.

But Qingzhi can be completed, and it is slightly easier to complete.

Even in this matter, she also got the benefit, that is, Chen Zinan was extraordinarily gracious and allowed her to settle accounts for two free hours every day; For her, it's like a holiday.

There is also a very important piece of information, that is, the Guozhang Mansion has been unable to make ends meet for a long time.

Each courtyard is a master who spends a lot of money, except for Chen Jiading, who has an official position in the imperial court, everyone is idle at home.

The father-in-law and the uncle are just two titles, and they only receive a monthly salary, but they have no real power.

This is also a practice of the emperor in order to prevent the power of his relatives from becoming too large, which has been the case in all dynasties, which is normal, and no one will have doubts.

I've been gnawing at the old book for a few years.

The old lady should know about this, and the Wang family should also know about it.

If they knew, the grandfather should also know, and Chen Jiakun should also know.

But all those who know don't take it seriously, what kind of place is this, it is the mother's house of the current queen, it is the father-in-law of the current emperor, can they still let the king's mansion beg, it is a humiliating thing for the country.

Qing Zhi bit the tip of her pen and fell into deep thought.

Because I know that the National Abbot's Mansion has been losing money year after year, the ministers and high-ranking officials are estranged?

It doesn't make sense at all!

With free time, Qingzhi doesn't have to guard the peony garden all day long, guarding Chen Zinan, she can go where she wants to go.

In the entire Guozhang Mansion, her favorite place to stay is the Lotus Garden.

The courtyard before the queen left the pavilion.

Since the queen left the cabinet, no one else has moved in here, and there will be a maid ring to clean it regularly, but all the old furnishings will be replaced with the same thing; So the lotus garden looks as if time has not flowed for 20 years.

She loved the tranquility.

But let her think about a lot of things, and go through everything carefully.

But this time, not long after she sat down, she noticed a dark shadow flashing behind her; She sank her face and turned her head to look over, but there was no half of her figure.

If it was the masters of the house, they would walk directly in front of her, there was no need to dodge at all, since they were not the masters, she didn't need to worry, turned her head and continued to do what she had to do.

After a few more minutes, there was a rustling sound behind her, and a small figure appeared in front of her.

It's Chen Ziying.

In Qingzhi's eyes, she is not a master, and she is not a little master.

At best, it's just a slave with the same surname as Chen Zinan.

"Sister Ying, is there something wrong with me?"

Qing Zhi tilted her head and looked at Chen Ziying, she didn't remember any dealings with the people in Fangyuan.

If you really say that there is going to be any holiday, it is because of Zheng's affairs, and there is a lot of friction with Zhou's, and it is estimated that Zhou's is eager to pick her skin and pull her tendons.

"You've been in the Peony Garden, I don't dare to go over."

Chen Ziying lowered her head and whispered.

"What are you looking for me to do?"

Qing Zhi is a little strange, when did she intersect with Chen Ziying?

Chen Ziying saw her indifferent tone, and seemed to be even more overwhelmed, which was very different from the perseverance that stood up to protect her sister on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"I was frightened, but my body got better a few days ago, and my mother allowed me to come out and walk around. I saw that you would come to the Lotus Garden in the next two days, so I came along, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to say thank you to you. ”

"Thank me for what?"

Qing Zhi still didn't understand, a little girl who had never been related to her suddenly ran to say this, is it interesting?

"You...... You saved me. ”

Chen Ziying was a little overwhelmed by her attitude, and how long had it been, and she didn't even look like she remembered anything.

"Oh, that's what you said."

Qing Zhi nodded casually, if it wasn't for Chen Ziying to mention it, she wouldn't have forgotten about it at all.

Why did she forget, it was because she didn't care.

From the beginning, knowing that there was cold poison in her body, she still had to go into the water, and her intention was never to save people.

It's just that he doesn't want Chen Zinan to be charged with murder, whether it is whitewashed as manslaughter or self-defense murder in the end, after all, he has human life in his hands, and the possibility of becoming the princess will come to naught in an instant.

As for Chen Ziying, who was picked up easily, she didn't feel at ease at all.

Therefore, Chen Ziying's thanks surprised her.

"You don't have to take it personally, I just did what I had to do."

Qing Zhi said casually, she was not interested in dealing with a ten-year-old girl, and she didn't want to waste time on her, so she could leave after saying what she had to say; After all, she and the Zhou family are now completely on the same page, but the Zhou family underestimated her status as a slave and maid, so they did not confront it head-on.

But if she wants to get close to the Taifu Mansion, she must be on the Zheng family's side, and the Zhou family will definitely do everything possible to get rid of her at that time.

Therefore, Qing Zhi did not have this leisure and leisure, and had nothing to do with the daughter of the future enemy.

Chen Ziying unexpectedly reacted coldly, and stood in place looking extremely embarrassed. I really wanted to thank and repay the favor, but the benefactor didn't take it seriously at all.

"But it's a fact that you saved me."

Chen Ziying has a stubborn personality, and she will do what she believes to the end, otherwise she would not have clashed with Chen Zinan at the beginning.

Qing Zhi saw her blushing face, and smiled as if she was admitting death.

Although I don't care, it's not a bad thing that someone repays the favor.

"I see, and then what?"

It's fun to put a little effort into teasing the kids once in a while.

"I'll repay you."

Chen Ziying said seriously, but she didn't know that Qingzhi did not lack her gratitude at all.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Qingzhi still nodded carelessly, discouraged the child's enthusiasm, but what a good thing.

Chen Ziying saw that although Qingzhi was cold, she was not difficult to get along with, so she sat down beside her.

The location chosen by Qingzhi is the most beautiful scenery in the entire lotus garden, and it is also a pleasure to sit here and just watch.

Chen Ziying sat aside, and the two were silent for a while, in the end, it was a child's heart, and she couldn't bear it, so she turned her head to look at Qingzhi and said: "My aunt, I don't seem to like you, after that incident, I scolded and scolded all day long, and I didn't dare to fight against her, why did you make A-Niang angry?" ”

Qingzhi was just listening, occasionally glancing at her, how lacking this girl's heart is, saying bad things about her aunt in front of her.
