"A few years have passed, and there are many obscurities in the account books, Xu is just worried, Miss, you don't know why, so I want to send it in person. If you really have any doubts, I can explain them to your face. ”

Xie Ning forced each other on the grounds of taking care of the store, originally intending to make this shopkeeper Xu dispel the excuse of delaying the delivery of the account, but he didn't expect his words to say his selfishness in a high-sounding manner.

Xie Ning didn't believe his nonsense, his mind changed, and he simply bluffed through the signboard of the Hou Mansion: "Shopkeeper Xu doesn't know, I am now a guest in the Hou Mansion in Jingyang, and there are many female dependents in the Hou Mansion, if the Shopkeeper Xu wants to visit, I am afraid that it may not be convenient." What's more, the Hou Mansion has its own people who take care of the accounts, even if I don't know about general affairs, I can ask them to come and solve my doubts, so why should you let us Xie Ji not do good business and run empty? ”

She didn't know if the accounting office of the Hou Mansion was willing to help look at the accounts, but it was not easy for Xu Fu to come to the door. Now although the middle feed of the Hou Mansion is in charge of the second uncle He family, but her second uncle was born as a noble son, but there is no official and half-position on his body, so they have two rooms, but in the Hou Mansion, there are inevitably a little people who are soft-spoken, and they don't have much weight when they speak.

As for the inner mansion of the Hou Mansion, the person who can really be the master is naturally Mrs. Marquis of Jingyang, Xie Ning's nominal uncle Xiang. Without her acquiescence, how could Xie Ning be treated coldly everywhere at the beginning of his entry into the mansion. Not to mention the distance, even a few days ago, Pei Xinghai came to the door, didn't anyone come forward to receive him, and invited him to come in to meet him?

After all, Xu Fu is also a person related to her, and he just sent an account book, and the porter may not give him convenience and let him in. Shainin is not talking nonsense on this point. But when she mentioned the Hou Mansion, she not only wanted to reject Xu Fu's prevarication of coming to the door to deliver the account in a few days, but also wanted to use the power of the Hou Mansion to deter the other party, so that he could know in his heart that although he was just a little girl who didn't know how to do general affairs, he also relied on it, and it was not his rhetoric that could be deceived at will.

After all, how did Xu Fu know that she was a guest in the Hou Mansion, but she was actually not popular.

Xie Ning smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Xu Fu who had changed his face abruptly in front of him, and he was extremely relieved about his use of the Hou Mansion's momentum to warn the other party.

She never said that there would be people in the Hou Mansion who stood up for her. Even if Xu Fu and the people in the Hou Mansion noticed the strangeness in the future, the time had passed, it would be useless.

Sensing Xie Ning's intentions, Pei Xinghai couldn't help but cast an appreciative glance at her, and then said to Xu Fu: "We still have something to deal with, and we have been here for a long time today." If the shopkeeper Xu fails to keep the account books properly and store them in the store, he doesn't have to shirk it, and just bring the new accounts recently. After all, we will live in the capital for a long time in the future, and we will have a long time to come, so we are not in a hurry for this time. ”

Hearing this, Xu Fu's already ugly face sank by three points, and after a while, he eased up, met Xie Ning's inquiring gaze, and said curtly: "In previous years, the account books were all stored in the store, but in recent years, business has not been sluggish, and there is not much profit on the books." I hope that Miss will see it, don't pay too much attention to it. ”

Xie Ning's eyes flashed, but he was not busy exploring the reason for the sluggish business in his mouth, glanced at him, and said noncommittally: "Then you can take out the account book." ”

Xu is the double threat of Xie Ning and Pei Xinghai, Xu Fu did not delay any longer this time, and after nodding his head, he took out a stack of slightly yellowed account books from the inner room and put them on the high cabinet on the side.

The goal was achieved, where was Xie Ning still impatient to be a snake with him, and after a tacit look, he saw Pei Xinghai take out a piece of straw rope from his arms. A moment later, the two of them went out with the stack of books.

Xie Ning walked outside, but he inevitably had doubts in his heart. Xu Fu is sleek and eloquent, but Uncle Pei may not have seen his repeated prevarication and help, perhaps just out of the care of her elders, worried that this group of people would bully her thousands of miles away from home and be young and helpless. But Xie Ning sniffed out an unusual meaning from Xu Fu's reaction at that time. When something goes wrong, something must be wrong. Think about it, if this Xu Fu has a clear conscience, why first refuse and then delay?

Although Xie Ning has never taken care of the family's property, he also vaguely remembers that in the silver money sent to Shu from the capital at the end of last year, Xu Fu did not make much more profit than He Laobo's tea shop.

She didn't know the details, but she didn't think much of it at first. It wasn't until she actually inspected the two stores today that she understood the difference.

Xie Ji's face is not shabby, even if there is a silk village nearby, it should not be like Xu Fu said, there is no profit.

Thinking of this, Xie Ning glanced at Sun Ji Silk Village on the opposite street, and just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, a familiar figure suddenly jumped out of her sight, which made her heart startled and stopped.

The satin gown, the silk-like skirt, with the change of movements, the faint golden light flashed on the bun, standing at the door of Sun Ji Silk Village, with his back to the direction of Xie Ning, and talking enthusiastically to the man who looked like the shopkeeper in the store.

Without her turning her head, just looking at her figure and dress, Xie Ning had already recognized the identity of this person, and there was no doubt that it was Lou's mother.

At this time, Pei Xinghai had already walked forward for a distance, and because he noticed that Xie Ning had not followed, he turned around and urged: "Xie girl!"

The volume of his call was not small, Xie Ning suddenly had a thrill in his heart, and his reaction flashed quickly, and after covering his figure with the cart with rice grain on the side, he hurriedly made a "shhh" gesture to Pei Xinghai, and when he saw him walking forward, he shook his head and signaled him to stay where he was, and then he pricked up his ears to confirm that the conversation between the two on the street was still continuing.

Xie Ning cautiously probed the probe, and after finding that Lou's mother's reaction was not abnormal, a hanging heart was put down, and he was secretly glad that the two of them were chatting attentively and did not hear Uncle Pei's shouting.

While Lou's mother was still immersed in the conversation with the shopkeeper of Sun Ji, Xie Ning moved, and in a few breaths, he had already stood beside Pei Xinghai, knowing that Lou's mother didn't notice it, so she didn't look back again, stared all the way ahead, and only exhaled after getting into the carriage with her face on her back.

Pei Xinghai looked funny, so he said loudly: "Walking decently, I don't know what you saw, so nervous." ”

Xie Ning pursed the corners of his mouth, lifted the curtain on the side, and pouted in the direction of Lou's mother, "Well, that person is the servant woman of the Jingyang Hou Mansion, and I don't know what to do when I appear here." ”

Pei Xinghai followed her gaze, and saw the figure standing at the door of Sun Ji Silk Village at a glance, and immediately subconsciously frowned and asked, "This person is in the Hou Mansion, who is serving by his side on weekdays, and what are he doing?" ”
