216 tailor-made men
The accounts of the three boxes and the fish scale book were carried into the Snow Courtyard and handed over to Gu Qingwan, who was suddenly a little stupid.
How can the accounts of this kind of fiefdom be handed over to the staff, or even the officials below, to be responsible, what is the purpose of carrying it to her!
"Carry it away, hurry up and carry it away, where does a woman in my house understand these things, and the account of a shop can still be done, I can't take care of these!"
Gu Qing waved his hand at night, rejecting the use of Qin Yu as an all-powerful machine.
It was a few guards from the Hanmo Academy who came to deliver the account, and when they came, they already knew that Steward Cui had been beaten, so how could they carry the box away again.
Turning a blind eye to Gu Qingwan's refusal, the leading guard said: "The second master has already ordered to go down, and sent ten account room gentlemen to Aunt Gu, and the two adults of the fiefdom Zhang and Wu will also be at any time to listen to the summons, and the aunt can freely enter and leave the outer courtyard these days, these are the orders of the second master, and the subordinates have sent the things and retired." ”
After that, a few people ignored Gu Qingwan's obstruction and walked away with oil on the soles of their feet.
Wen Qing was also a little unable to come back to her senses, and when the guards were gone, she looked at the big boxes and said, "Girl, these are ...... What should I do? ”
Gu Qingwan pursed her lips, looked at Wen Qing and said, "How do I know." Why don't you tell me what to do? ”
Wen Qing swallowed her saliva and said, "Why don't you call a few mothers-in-law and carry these to the outer courtyard?" ”
Last time, Qin Yu asked someone to send the accounts of his private treasury over, Wen Qing hated to let her put them away quickly, and now Qin Yu asked people to send the accounts of the fief over, but Wen Qing didn't have the courage to let Gu Qing take it later.
It can be seen that even Wen Qing and a maid know that this matter is not trivial, and Qin Yu can do such an unbelievable thing.
Gu Qingwan sighed and said, "Forget it, send two mothers-in-law to guard first, don't let people touch it." When the second master comes back in a while, I'll ask him before I talk about it. At this time, you really let your mother-in-law carry you back to Hanmo Academy, and you may not be able to send it in. ”
Qin Yu's temperament, Gu Qingwan still knows, unless she can persuade Qin Yu to take back all the accounts, otherwise, the account book will be carried back again, or it will be sent back.
Qin Yu didn't come back until the evening of this day, and saw that a few large boxes were still in the courtyard of the Snow Courtyard, and there were two mothers-in-law sitting on it, so he was not surprised, and strode to the upper room, while instructing: "All move into the study." ”
Gu Qingwan heard the movement and came out, just as she saw the two mothers-in-law obediently jumping off the box, beckoning someone to carry the box together. She couldn't help but take two steps forward, but before she could speak, she was hugged by the shoulders of Qin Yu, who strode up the steps, and led her to the house.
Seeing that Gu Qingwan still wanted to stop her, Qin Yu pinched her shoulder and said, "Okay, the master has his own plans for this matter, you go into the house with the master to talk first." ”
When he entered the house, Gu Qing stared at Qin Yu in the evening, and when he spoke, Qin Yu didn't say anything, leisurely took a cup of tea and leaned on the Luohan bed to eat tea, picked up a travelogue she threw next to her and looked at it, and said, "Why didn't you read a medical book today?" ”
The sound of the mother-in-law carrying the box came outside, Gu Qingwan only felt that she had taken over a pot of hot potatoes, seeing that Qin Yu was so casual, she unconsciously took the initiative to sit down, slapped the travelogue in his hand, and said, "What do you want, what are you doing with the accounts of the fiefdom sent to me here!" ”
Qin Yu saw that she was in a hurry, so he smiled and handed the teacup in his hand to Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan took it, he leaned on his hands and lay on the big pillow, and said: "First, you are the only woman of the master, how many belongings the master has, I think you should know it in your heart." Again, those who can work hard, these accounts or something, Qingqing straightened out it without much effort. The most important thing is that Qingqing and Ye are one, and Qingqing can not rest assured that he can calculate the fiefdom accounts. ”
Gu Qingwan twisted his eyebrows and said, "Qin Yu, you are squeezing labor!" Those are all the affairs of the account office and your officials and staff, they take the money to do things, as a matter of course, I will take ten taels of silver a month, why should I manage the private treasury for you, and I have to do so many extra errands? Besides, who said I had no trouble straightening out my accounts? I don't know any of that, okay. ”
Qin Yu smiled, but said: "What is Qingqing's ability, the master knows very well in his heart, there are so many buildings in Fuyuntang and Restaurant, Qingqing can make it clear, not to mention these." ”
Gu Qingwan is very sensitive to numbers, and it is indeed difficult for her to calculate an account, she is a little stammered.
Qin Yu saw that she was unhappy, but she sat up, hugged Gu Qingwan and said, "Every year when the year is approaching, I have to go to the fiefdom to inspect it, and this year I want to take you with me." ”
Gu Qingwan was stunned when he heard him say this, and looked at Qin Yu with a slight stunned, Qin Yu said again: "Qingqing seems to know a lot about building a palace, Qingqing can build a majestic and amazing palace like Fuyun Hall, that is, he can serve in the Ministry of Engineering, what the master means, take Qingqing together, on the one hand, go out to relax, on the other hand, Qingqing also helps the master to take a closer look at the various places in the fiefdom, where to build what water conservancy, granary, construction of the city wall, etc., how much does it cost, how much money is allocated, Can the master's treasury silver withstand it? Qingqing knows it in her heart, so she can tell the master, lest the master be fooled by a group of oily people in the fiefdom and don't know. ”
Gu Qingwan didn't expect Qin Yu to have such a plan, and she was immediately stunned.
Qin Yu flicked it on her head, and Gu Qing said later: "Didn't you say that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?" ”
When Qin Yu heard this, he flicked his fingers on Gu Qingwan's head again, and said, "I've started talking nonsense again, if outsiders hear this, it's okay!" ”
Gu Qingwan blinked, rubbed his forehead that had been beaten by Qin Yu's gravity, and said, "Doesn't that mean that there is a difference between inside and outside, inside the female lead, and outside the male lead?" ”
Qin Yu laughed shamefully and said, "That's because the women next to me don't have the ability to do this, so they can't do it outside the home!" The master's Qingqing is different, talented, and not inferior to men, so naturally it is another matter. ”
Qin Yu's face was full of pride and pride, and Gu Qingwan's heart was unconsciously touched.
She thought of Qin Yu's support for her to build the Fuyun Hall, thought of Qin Yu's permission for her to go to the Great Dao Temple three times a month to study medicine, and thought of him sparing no effort to support her in opening a restaurant outside.
These things, as a woman, especially the concubine room of the inner house, are out of line, not all men will accept such things, on the contrary, there must be few men in ancient times who can stand the women of their inner house so uneasy in the room.
But Qin Yu took it for granted, and it was his unruliness and arrogance that caused this.
She is not an ancient woman, even if she is affected by the environment, Gu Qingwan feels that she can't be trapped in the inner house like an ancient woman. In this way, Qin Yu seems to be tailor-made for her.
If there was no previous thing that Qin Yu was forced to do, if there was no disparity in identity, if only Qin Yu was a person, Gu Qingwan felt that it was not a bad thing to be Qin Yu's wife, and it was even very exciting.
Thinking so, she was stunned at Qin Yu, Qin Yu looked at her with a smile, and said, "Since Qingqing has no objection, then this matter is decided." ”
Gu Qingwan came back to his senses at this time, and said busily: "What is decided, I didn't agree." Besides, I don't have time, in a few days it will be the day of the three major female school competitions, I have to be busy with the competition these days, seize the time to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I don't have the time to help you settle accounts. Your Highness, please be smart. ”
Qin Yu hadn't seen Gu Qingwan practicing any qin, chess, calligraphy and painting these days, and he still read a lot of medical books, at this moment Gu Qingwan took this reason to prevaricate, he naturally didn't allow it, and said: "Qinqi, calligraphy and painting are all accumulated by ordinary attainments, where is it useful to temporarily hold Buddha's feet?" Qingqing is very leisurely these days, she must be confident, where do you still need to practice hard? ”
He said, and without waiting for Gu Qing to excuse himself, he said again: "Okay, this matter is settled, the master will let you prepare a few more sets of simple winter clothes, and it will be easy to wear in Beijing after a while." ”
Qin Yu made a final decision and no longer accepted Gu Qingwan's refusal, Gu Qingwan was afraid that if he resigned too much, he would be suspicious, and finally reluctantly agreed.
Early the next morning, Gu Qingwan went to the study first, opened the box, and roughly flipped through the accounts and fish scale books. Although the ancient bookkeeping method is very different from the modern one, fortunately, Gu Qing learned the housekeeper to reconcile the accounts when he was in the boudoir.
After roughly figuring it out, Gu Qing asked Wen Qing to call her mother-in-law and carry the three boxes to the outer courtyard.
The bookkeepers of the palace were obviously not convinced by Qin Yu's decision, just because Steward Cui had already been beaten for this matter, so Gu Qingwan brought someone into the account room, and they were honest and obedient on their faces.
Gu Qingwan looked around, and saw contempt in the eyes of these people, she held Wen Qing's hand and sat down on the top Taishi chair, and her own mother-in-law put out the incense burner, stove, tea utensils, pastries and other things brought from the inner house one by one.
Gu Qingwan heard a low young accountant behind him and the person next to him muttering, "What does it look like, it's really nonsense, does the concubine in the inner house think it's as simple as running a fat powder shop, look at this ......?"
"Shhhh Say less, don't die. ”
The tall and thin man next to him was a little scared, but when he looked up, he was looking at Gu Qingwan who seemed to be smiling, and he suddenly trembled, and reprimanded in a suppressed voice.
Gu Qingwan's eyes swept away, and sure enough, he saw that the expressions of the crowd were similar to those of these two people, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, disdainful and afraid.
She deliberately brought more than a dozen subordinates over today, and the pomp was too big to shock those people, so that they could not treat her as an ordinary concubine, and then show some skills, and then they would be able to recover these people.
took a sip of the teacup, but Gu Qingwan frowned slightly, and said to Wenqing: "The tea was brought from the inner house, and sure enough, it didn't taste good." ”
After that, he handed the teacup to Wen Qing, Wen Qing took it with a smile, and said respectfully: "The slave has already asked people to bring the little clay stove over, so I will order you to boil water and make tea again." ”
Gu Qingwan glanced at Wen Qing approvingly, and then said casually: "Why don't you start yet?" It shouldn't be the first time to check the accounts, how to get it in previous years, how to get it this year, the second master is to let me take over, do you want me to teach you how to plan to make it? ! ”
Her attitude was very unkind, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and her arrogant appearance was like another Qin Yu, who was clearly a spoiled concubine.
A group of people gritted their teeth, but they didn't dare to provoke such a bastard.
The atmosphere froze, and then they all moved silently, and soon the room crackled with the sound of abacus. Gu Qingwan took a notebook from Wen Qing's hand and looked at it as if no one was around.
After an hour, the general ledger room sent a newly made general ledger to Gu Qingwan, and said: "Madame, look at it, this is a summary of the tariffs of Xintian Mansion, if there is nothing wrong, please leave a seal here." ”
Gu Qing didn't take the account book at night, and only said to Wen Qing: "What about the seal of the second master?" ”
"Yes, yes, the slaves and maids carry them with them."
Wen Qing said and took out a palm-sized square seal wrapped in red brocade, and the seal button was carved with a unicorn, which was white and greasy and clear, which was the exclusive official seal of Qin Yu.
Usually the accounts are remitted, but it is impossible for Qin Yu to wait and watch in person. The ledger is summarized to be printed, but it is by no means checked and covered in this way.
The general ledger room deliberately beat Gu Qingwan's prestige, but he didn't expect Gu Qingwan to really take Qin Yu's official seal, and Qin Yu even gave Gu Qingwan the official seal. This is to hand over this matter to Gu Qingwan, and it is really ...... to trust it so much I can't breathe.
The general ledger's face changed slightly, and he secretly paid attention to it, and the expectant ledger also lowered his head.
Gu Qingwan took the account book casually and turned the pages one by one.
Everyone has never seen a reconciliation and doesn't even take an abacus, thinking that this is a book!
Seeing that Gu Qingwan didn't even pretend, the people and the general ledger room relaxed their expressions.
Wait, the accounts are all traps, when the time comes, there will be a big mistake, and the second master will blame it, then this aunt is too useless, they are also responsible for Gu Qingwan's general top vat.
Gu Qingwan didn't seem to notice the atmosphere, she slowly flipped through the account book, she flipped through it faster and faster, and it only took a moment to turn to the last page, closed the account book with a snap, looked at the general ledger room, and said with a smile: "This is the first general ledger that you spent an hour checking well?" ”
She smiled, her voice was soft, and the general ledger didn't know what she meant, but she didn't even move the abacus, and she couldn't see anything, when she lowered her head and said: "Exactly, we are all old accounts in the palace for more than ten years, and these accounts may not be checked and summarized in two or five hours, so it is too much to wait for more than an hour." ”
What's more, they have to deliberately set up very clever traps when making accounts, which is much more difficult than normal accounts. Only an old account room like them can make the wrong accounts so seamless.
The general ledger added in his heart, and it was difficult to hide his arrogance in his tone.
Who knew that Gu Qingwan nodded when he heard this, and agreed: "Well, you are indeed capable!" ”
When the bookkeepers heard Gu Qingwan's words, they immediately felt that this woman was really an embroidered pillow, she didn't understand anything, and she was ready to say good things, coax them, and please her to do things.
The general ledger room also thought so, but he always felt that Gu Qingwan's tone was a little wrong, and he was wondering what was wrong, and he had been careless, but Gu Qingwan, who was smiling, suddenly had sharp eyes, and threw the account book in his hand on the table with a snap, and his slender fingers focused on the account book, and said: "Obviously half an hour is enough for the account, you have calculated it for more than an hour, not to mention." With just a few counts, you actually made a big mistake in the end, and counted three hundred and eighty taels of silver for me! This account is less than three hundred and eighty taels, and ten books are at least four thousand taels of silver, and when the time comes, use this account you have calculated to collect tax silver, and then the two lords of Wu and Zhang will have four thousand taels of silver in vain. Tsk, when I went to Beijing to run an errand, I fell four thousand taels, how could I not meet such a good thing! ”
As soon as Gu Qingwan finished speaking, the faces of the bookkeepers in the room suddenly changed, and the general bookkeeper who was standing in front of Gu Qingwan also looked up and stared at Gu Qingwan in disbelief, sweating on his forehead.
Didn't she use her calculations, how to calculate it clearly! Hell yes!
Gu Qingwan met his gaze but suddenly smiled, her voice was soft and smiling, and said, "Or you and Wu Zhang have agreed that everyone will share the less tax and silver?" Why don't you come and talk to me, how much? Well? ”
Hearing her say this, the general ledger suddenly turned pale, took a step back and apologized again and again, and said: "I am wrong, I should not despise my aunt, be hostile to you, and deliberately manipulate the accounts." We made a big mistake, but we really never colluded with Zhang and Wu, let alone wanted to enrich our own pockets. ”
The rest of the bookkeepers couldn't sit still, so they got up one after another and apologized.
Gu Qingwan put away the arrogance on his face, smiled gently, stood up, picked up the account book, personally gave the general ledger room who bent over, gave him a false trust, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's do the accounts again." ”
She took their fault, she thought she was going to have a big attack, but who knew that Gu Qingwan let it go so easily, everyone was stunned, and then they came to their senses in an instant, and their faces unconsciously showed a complicated look.
This aunt is not really arrogant, she can't do anything but coax men, and people used to deal with them at all.
The general ledger room took the account book, and his face was a little ugly, but seeing that Gu Qingwan's attitude softened, he took a step closer, and said, "I'll wait for this to redo the accounts, it's just ...... Earlier, my aunt said that this account could be done in half an hour, but I really didn't dare to accept it, and I didn't have the ability to do it. ”
They were slapped in the face, although they would not dare to dig a pit for her to jump in the next account, but listening to her words, they were convinced that it was almost a problem.
Gu Qingwan had already chatted, smiled when she heard the words, raised her hand, and Wen Qing took out the book that Gu Qingwan had made early and handed it to Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan took it, opened it and then showed it to the general ledger room, and said, "Mr. Bai, take a look, if this account book is done like this in the future, will it be much faster once and for all?" ”
The general ledger room heard that he took the account book, and at first glance it was a little unclear, so this was not much the same as ordinary bookkeeping, how it was all forms, and I didn't know what it was.
But he looked at it twice, but his eyes were slightly condensed, and he gradually felt a little taste, and then he looked at it, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help beckoning a little forgetfully: "You all come here, come and see, it seems to be much more convenient to do this, but what does this mean......"
Seeing that it was like a treasure, everyone gathered around curiously, and immediately discussed.
Next, as Gu Qingwan expected, the modern bookkeeping method, the form of the table, is clear at a glance, it is indeed much more advanced and convenient than the ancient bookkeeping, and immediately recovered a lot of account rooms, and everyone looked at Gu Qingwan with respect.
When Prince Li heard that Qin Yu handed over the fiefdom accounts to Gu Qingwan, he frowned and said that he was messing around, and took two people to come over to inspect, who knew that the scene he thought did not happen, but he saw the obedient appearance of the accounts being cleaned up by Gu Qingwan.
Mr. Accounts of the Palace, Prince Li still knows, because the account room is a place with a lot of oil and water, so those who can come in are all capable, and the accounts have always been high, but they didn't expect to be taken in by Gu Qingwan in the blink of an eye.
Prince Li was amazed, and he didn't even care about Qin Yu's nonsense, looked at the guard behind him, Xie Congfang, and said, "This Aunt Gu is really ...... Didn't you teach some of the guards and secret guards of the palace some time ago? It's been a while, how's it going? ”
Xie Congfang bowed down and replied: "Although it has only been more than a month, and I can't see much effect, the casualties of the secret guards have indeed decreased in the past month or so. ”
Prince Li glanced through the crack in the door again, and saw that the general ledger room was holding the account book, Gu Qingwan pointed to something, the general ledger room nodded again and again, and Prince Li sighed unconsciously.
Why did he suddenly have a strange feeling, he always felt that Gu Qingwan's Buddha was too big, and the temple was a little unable to be placed, as if she was just a side concubine and succumbed to this girl.
