Chapter 53: Reckoning
It has been five days since the opening of "Linglong Fang", and Miao Zhi seems to be busier, busy replenishing stocks, busy settling accounts, and busy forgetting to sleep and eat.
Passing through the cool road covered with vines, Shen Yuqian saw the little sister "crackling" on the stone table in the pavilion, like a full shopkeeper.
Ning Er behind her was holding an incense fan and couldn't help shaking it up and down. Shen Yuqian walked over lightly, waved his hand silently at Ning Er, who was about to salute, and pointed at Miao Zhi who was unaware with a smile.
Ning Er also smiled and nodded, without squeaking, gently put down the incense fan, and quietly walked out of the pavilion.
The woman in front of the stone table was wearing a simple and decent dark blue gauze skirt, her hair was a little messy, Xiumei was twisted, and the abacus that "crackled" in her hand was silent at the moment, and she seemed to be stumped by the dense ledger in front of her.
She scratched her ears and cheeks in worry, and she didn't realize that she had taken the brush in her hand upside down, and there were several dark handprints on her sharp chin.
"Well, you have to look at it this way, you look here, the comeback of goods and profitability are all here."
The man's warm voice penetrated into his ears, adding a little coolness to the somewhat hot air.
"Big brother, when did you come?" Miao Zhi was overjoyed, pulled him to sit down beside her, and waited until there were five black handprints on Shen Yuqian's gray and clean cuffs, and then she exhaled "ah" and wiped the ink on her hands with a handkerchief.
Zhen Yuqian shook his head helplessly, took the silk handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks, and slowly and gently wiped the dry ink on her cheeks while holding up the woman's handsome chin.
"Look at you, how old you are, always so careless, you have become the old cat in my yard who enjoys the cool on the wall every day."
Miao Zhi raised her head meekly and obediently, letting the handsome man in front of her carefully rub her cheeks, her heart was extremely soft, as if she was wrapped in a ball of cotton soft and glutinous.
In the past few days, the chicken has just called her out of the house in the morning, and at night she comes back with the stars and the moon, and she falls asleep when she is tired, and she has no time to go to the eldest brother to sit down. The opening of the new store, although the business is surprisingly good, still needs to be carefully checked, and after a while, every qiē in the shop is slowly on the right track, and there will be no need to go every day.
I thought that the new new human beings in the twenty-first century were omnipotent, but in the end she still overestimated her strength, and since last night, she has been overwhelmed by this account book like a book from heaven, and she almost collapsed and vomited blood and died.
Homogenized some of the water in the teacup into the lid of the cup, and moistened the clean corner of the handkerchief, and then Shen Yuqian wiped the completely dry ink stains on Miaozhi's face. It wasn't until the woman's flowery cat face turned back into clean pink cheeks that he showed a satisfied smile.
"Okay, wipe your face clean, then next, I, as a big brother, will help you solve the problem of the ledger." Shen Yu straightened his body and moved the thick ledger in front of him.
"Big brother, you are really my savior." Miao Zhi was so moved that she wanted to give Shen Yuqian a big hug directly, but in this feudal and lame ancient times, she could only hold on to her temperament and hug the arm of the handsome big brother.
Under the pavilion with hexagonal towers and cornices, the man's warm and low voice drifted away with the faint warm breeze, and the woman beside him was delicate and lovely, with a smile on the corners of her full and ruddy lips from time to time, and her white teeth were flawless.
"Okay, that's it." Although this large stack of ledgers was easy for him to understand, looking at the little sister's confused and ignorant eyes, Shen Yuqian couldn't help but speak more carefully, and now his throat was dry and unbearable.
The woman's tightened eyebrows finally spread out, "Big brother, you're so good." With a satisfied expression, she hugged Shen Yuqian's right arm, her soft pink cheeks rubbing back and forth on his shoulder.
He looked at his little sister with a cat-like attachment, and stretched out his hand dotingly, rubbing the top of the woman's soft hair with his broad palm.
The gloomy and melancholy state of mind has left him unconsciously, and in the past few days, Shen Yuqian has been calming down, and it seems that he has understood it thoroughly in a short time. Even if you don't live for yourself, you have to live well for the woman in front of you.
His dark eyes lit up, and the thoughts in his heart became more determined.
New Jin City, Post House.
"What? The queen mother asked me to go back earlier? The glamorous man dressed in a very simple dress was in a hurry, and threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
The porcelain tea splashed everywhere, and the lid of the cup, which was still intact, rolled to the corner of the wall, and after a few turns, it was gone.
"Yes, the queen mother ordered Her Royal Highness to go back quickly, saying that the eldest princess came back to visit the king." The man dressed as a small servant in front of him was unmoved, and still stood there bent over.
"Damn, the eldest aunt has been staying well in the 'Jingxin Nunnery', and she has always been ignorant of the affairs of the court, why did she come back at this juncture, it must be those old horsemen, they will only make His Highness unpeaceful."
The man's beautiful cheeks were distorted, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of anger, which made people feel stunned when they looked at it.
Yuan Hongyi's face was gloomy, and some white and tender hands had green tendons on the backs, and he crunched a mouthful of silver teeth, which seemed to overturn the table in front of him, and he couldn't relieve the unhappiness in his heart.
The man in black still stood in front of him, as if he was not surprised by his angry appearance, took out a letter from his bosom and put it down, and disappeared when he went out.
Seeing that the man in black left calmly, another envoy in the same room swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he stepped forward cautiously, with a flattering smile on his round face.
"This, His Royal Highness the Prince. Since the queen asked us to go back to TECO earlier, then, when will we leave? His voice was a little low, and he was afraid that the ancestor in front of him would be angry with him.
Yuan Hongyi's heart was extremely angry, his fingers were clenched tightly, his bones were white, and he said word by word, as if every word jumped out of his chest, "It's been so many days, what did the new emperor of Beixin say." ”
"Is this one?" His eyes rolled back and forth, he didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to hear, didn't he also hear those words of Bei'an Huang.
"It's not us, it's another country." Yuan Hongyi suppressed the anger in his heart, collected his thoughts, and opened the letter on the table to look at it.
The round-faced envoy breathed a sigh of relief, he cleared his throat, "Beixin made concessions on the tribute treaty between Yinan and Moonset, and also reduced three million taels of silver, including thirty moonshadow veils in Yinan, and fifty horses of sweat and blood in Moonset. ”
When the words landed, Yuan Hongyi also read the letter in his hand roughly, and the letter concisely wrote a qiē in the palace clearly.
"Okay, you go down, the customs clearance will probably be proper in three days, and we will leave in five days." There was no emotion on the extremely glamorous face, as if someone else was angry just now, but the anger in his eyes continued unabated.
When the man went out and slowly closed the door, Yuan Hongyi got up and came to the bed, and lay down with his clothes without taking off his shoes.
He stared at the curtain tassel beside the bed and froze. Since those pus-filled envoys came back from the palace, he moved in from the "Huaixiang Pavilion" the next day, and since Bei'an Huang knew his whereabouts well, there was no need for him to hide them.
Thinking of this, he still couldn't help but clench the satin mattress under him, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he thought that the three kingdoms would join forces, how could they also have Beixin collapse Tiantian, who knew that Jiang was still old and spicy, and Bei Anhuang was sharp and decisive. The work of comforting the dead and wounded officials was extremely well done, and the vacant positions were filled in time by people of comparable rank, so that they did not take advantage of the slightest loophole.
Even Bei Yiyu was locked up and confined and never stepped out of Denghua Palace for a few days. I thought that I could use Wubi to make a plan again, but I didn't want Bei'an Huang to cancel it. Now the envoys of various countries can only wait for the big seal of the customs clearance document to be stamped, and they will return to their hometown.
