After lunch, Xia Yimeng wanted to go to the Chengwang Mansion with Xiao Zhen and the two of them again, so as to lay the foundation for going out of the mansion to play over the wall in the future, but who knew that as soon as the two of them stepped out of the door, the housekeeper appeared out of nowhere to block them.

"I wonder if the princess has something to do in the afternoon?"

The housekeeper was dressed in a long shirt, holding a thick ledger in his hand, and looked at Xia Yimeng with an expectant face.

I don't know why Xia Yimeng's back is cold, and he always feels that something bad will happen, and when he took a bath that day, he also heard Xiaoshuang say something about this person, and I heard that he is strict and loyal, and always puts the affairs of Chengwangfu in the first place, and under his care, Chengwangfu is in order.

He has been the steward of the Chengwang Mansion for seven years since he was twenty years old, and the people of the Chengwang Mansion have never despised him because he is too young, but they have all respected him, and he is like a patriarch in the Chengwang Mansion.

"I don't have anything important to do, is there anything Steward Lin needs my help with?"

Xia Yimeng had no resistance to the thought of a good-looking person, and she was not angry even if Steward Lin disrupted her plan.

Steward Lin smiled softly at her, and then said slowly: "Previously, because there was no princess in the palace, the account books in the palace have always been taken care of by me, and now that there is a princess, it seems that it is a little inappropriate for me to do these things again." ”

His voice was so soft that although he lacked a man's masculinity, it was not annoying, but he felt very comfortable.

Xia Yimeng was powerless to look at the sky, why did she forget that there was such a thing.

Xiafu's accounts are also taken care of by her mother, and her mother records every income and expenditure in detail, but she has only seen her mother's appearance when she keeps accounts, and she has never practiced it herself.

"Steward Lin, I really want to help you, but I have more than enough heart and strength, and I can't do this kind of thing."

She looked sincere, this kind of thing is not trivial, it will not be necessary to lie.

"No one is born with everything, as long as you are willing to learn, you can always master everything, princess, don't you say?"

Steward Lin still had a soft face and a slight smile, but there was a kind of indifference in his eyes that could not be ignored.

Xia Yimeng finally knew why the people in Chengwangfu respected him so much, the tiger was not powerful, but he was a tiger after all!

She reluctantly followed Steward Lin to the account room of Chengwang's Mansion.

The account room of the Chengwang Mansion is located in a very remote place in the backyard, surrounded by tall trees, and the decoration of the gatehouse is also extraordinarily ordinary, ordinary people can't imagine that this is the most precious place in the Chengwang Mansion.

Although Xiaozhen is Xia Yimeng's dowry maid, she is a subordinate after all, and she is still not allowed to go to such an important place as the account room, so she has to obediently stay in the room and wait for Xia Yimeng's return.

The first thing that caught your eye when you pushed the door in was a large mahogany table, on which were placed paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and a golden candlestick, and beside the table were rows and rows of bookshelves, on which neatly arranged ledgers.

"These are all the account books of the Chengwang Mansion since it was built, I have divided them for you according to the year, if you want to check it, you can look at it at any time, and if you don't understand something, you can ask me."

Steward Lin carefully introduced the classification of accounts for her.

When he saw the last bookshelf, Steward Lin took out a dark blue ledger on the bookshelf, and as the ledger was taken out, the bookcase gradually divided into two halves, and a stone wall appeared in front of the two, and there was a circular dent on the stone wall with strange patterns carved on it.
