Chapter 114: A little fuss

When He Zhang came to report, Xie Ke and Qi Luzheng had a cup of tea next to them, and they took two positions in the hall, one on the left and one on the right.

Xie Ke was holding the account book of Benqi Mansion and looking at it carefully, and there was Ji Shi with a vegetable face standing beside him.

Qi Lu, on the other hand, supported his arm with his chin, watching with great interest. He doesn't have such idle work on weekdays, he travels outside every mile, although he has not received an official position, but he has a lot of things to do. His Majesty the Emperor never saw him idle.

Small things like auditing the account books in the courtyard don't have to worry about him at all.

Today, he knew that the courtyard of the second young man of the small Qi Mansion was so complicated.

The monthly expenses, the monthly salaries of the girls, the purchase of new clothes for the people every quarter, the arrangement of the yard on time and according to the festival, and the purchase of the things needed for the New Year, in short, the trivial things made Qi Lu feel a headache when he heard it, but Xie Ke not only didn't seem to have a headache, but the more he asked about this account, the more energetic he seemed to be.

This little girl belongs to the more frustrated and braver, which makes him unreachable.

When the congratulatory chapter entered the door.

Xie Ke was holding the account and asked Ji softly with a vague entry.

“…… To purchase lanterns during the New Year's Festival, you need to buy 100 each time, and each lantern needs three taels of silver. That's three hundred taels...... I'm just curious, do the lanterns in this courtyard have to be changed four times a year? Think about it, change it once in the New Year, change it once in the fifteenth Lantern Festival? Dragon Boat Festival change once? Change Chongyang in September? Is that so? ”

Ji Shi nodded tremblingly on the side.

Xie Ke smiled, and smiled very gently.

Then she raised her voice and called Qi Lu. "Ah Lu, your Qi clan is really rich, when I was at home in the past, the lanterns in the courtyard were only changed once in the New Year. Your Qi clan has to change four times a year...... It is really at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Home of the richest man. What Xie Ke said was a gentle, and faintly yearning and envious tone.

Qi Lu first raised his eyebrows, feeling praised. But at this time, beside Qi Lu, He Zhang, who was waiting for Xie Ke to finish dealing with the matter in his hand and then return to the court, laughed sullenly.

Qi Luyin's gaze swept over. He Zhang hurriedly held his breath and made an innocent statement. He didn't hear, he didn't see. Don't ask him, don't ask him, but God obviously didn't catch his prayer.

"Isn't it funny?" Qi Lu sneered.

He Zhang shook his head solemnly. "It's not funny. It's not funny at all. "Then what are you laughing at?" He Zhang felt that he must have inadvertently offended his new grandmother.

Or every time a new grandma is in trouble. He's all around. “…… Second master, I'm afraid that the young grandmother wants to say...... In fact, the lanterns in the courtyard seem, maybe. Probably don't have to be so diligent. Wasted ......"

Xie Ke naturally meant more than this, but I thought that the Ji family had been in charge of everything in the yard for a long time, and he was the nurse of his own father, and his own father was also generous to this Ji family. So his words were a bit vague. Xie Ke glanced at He Zhang with a smile, but he didn't say anything.

Qi Lu nodded.

In his opinion, it was just a trivial matter of a few hundred taels of silver. However, since he handed over all the affairs of the inner house to Xie Ke, he naturally had to support her.

What's more, she is saving money for him, and she is planning for him, although this plan is insignificant in Qi Lu's opinion. But he still spoke...... "Nurse, everything depends on Sister Bao." There are still extravagance and waste in the courtyard, so let's just change it. In the future, I will listen to the young grandmother. Thrifty. ”

How else can Ji react.

I had to nod like a chicken pounding rice.

"Let's get here today, and Mommy should rest early." In Xie Ke's opinion. This beating must be uncomfortable for Ji's.

She actually didn't care about the hundreds of taels of silver, but Ji's practice of filling her pockets like this was not good. and all things shall be delivered into her hands, and there shall be no sand in her eyes. What's more, whether this lantern is new or not, she can't tell. Only Qi Lu, the rich guy who doesn't divide the grains, doesn't care at all.

Ji nodded, withdrew with his hand and tail.

Qi Lu didn't pay attention to this successive slashing and beating, or it can be said that he didn't look at Ji Shi from beginning to end, he kept looking at Xie Ke, watching her hang her head, watching her wring her eyebrows, watching her smile and talking to Ji, as for what he said, he didn't care at all.

The reason why Xie Ke let him watch from the sidelines was just to deter the Ji family.

There is no need to say anything at all.

Suffice it to say that only in the presence of others has achieved her purpose. At the beginning, the Ji family was still holding a fluke mentality, maybe thinking that she had been by Qi Lu's side for more than ten years, and Qi Lu should naturally take care of her as a nurse.

But it backfired, and from beginning to end, Qi Lu didn't look at Ji Shi much.

This is not just a slap in the face of Ji's family, this is basically making Ji's from hope to despair. Especially the last sentence, it instantly broke Ji's heart defense.

is biased to speak, and he didn't enter the play at all.

Ji's face when he left, He Zhang saw it clearly.

I can't help but rejoice...... Fortunately, he is a hard-working person, and he has some hardships with his young wife.

Regarding Xie Ke's rectification of the internal affairs in the hospital, He Zhang naturally raised his hands in favor.

This Ji family has become more and more nonsense in recent years, and his own father is informal.

Greedy for a few hundred taels of silver, such a trivial matter, there is really no need to bother him. But this Ji family is not an outsider, but he has been in the master's courtyard since he was a child, and he can be regarded as having some identity.

So Hezhang has actually been paying attention to this matter.

He just didn't expect that his young grandmother would cut through the mess quickly, and he made a move on Ji's on the first day of entry. And the movement is also gentle.

As for He Zhang's opinion, Xie Ke's handling like this has already saved face for the Ji family.

She indicated that she would not pursue it, as long as the Ji family would abide by her duties in the future, everything would not happen. Even He Zhang did it himself, I'm afraid he couldn't be so merciful.

Thinking of this, He Zhang was in awe of this new grandmother from the bottom of his heart.

It's not difficult to be strict or tolerant, but it's hard to be so hard. Sometimes if you are strict, you will lose your proportion, but if you are wide, you will not achieve the purpose of warning, Xie Ke's means, in He Zhang's opinion, is really excellent.

"Master, young grandma, the matter has been done, I will let a jailer come out. received 20,000 taels of silver from the second master of the Xie family. Quan's side also brought a message, and asked Quan Sheng to discipline the women in the family. ”

Qi Lu nodded, an expression that should be so.

Xie Ke smiled and praised He Zhang Yingming...... He also motioned for He Zhang to sit down, and He Zhang sat down tremblingly.

"The silver will be distributed to the brothers for the New Year." The left and right are obtained for nothing, and Qi Lu is not distressed. He Zhang looked at Xie Ke.

Although this silver is considered to have been obtained without any effort, it belongs to the Xie family.

Did you ask the young grandmother to deal with it again?

Qi Lu would not have such concerns, and seeing that He Zhang did not respond, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "What are you doing to your subordinates so fiercely. Although the silver is easy to say, it is my Xie family's. He Zhang is more attentive than you......" Xie Ke's words looked like complaints, and she was so soft in tone that she was not so much complaining, but coquettish, at least Qi Lu felt like this.

"What was given to Xie Er at the beginning is naturally Xie Er's, let me ask you what you do?"

I thought Xie Ke's tone was very pleasant, but she praised the congratulations in and out of her words. This sounded very unfavorable to Qi Ershao.

It doesn't matter how the money is used. Whether it is distributed to his subordinates or returned to Xie Ke is not the point.

The point is, she praised the congratulations.

He Zhang is just his subordinate, can't he even compare to He Zhang? So Qi Lu is also a little motivated...... What is a calamity without a cause? He Zhang thought with a bitter face, and it was in front of him.

This pair of immortals fights, but they want to harm him, a little pond fish, and pity him as a little mortal......

The smile on Xie Ke's face faded a little, but if she was angry with him because of such a trivial matter, she thought that she would not be angry for a day in the future.

It's not the first day she knows his temperament, so what kind of anger she has with him. So when Xie Ke spoke again, he didn't smell the smell of gunpowder in his voice. "Alu, what color do you like, I'm going to make you a new robe? How about azure? It seems that you are very energetic. Xuan Se doesn't seem to be bad......"

A picture of undecidedness.

The expression on Qi Lu's face froze slightly, and then showed a look of crying and laughing.

This girl, the effort to change the topic is really ...... Stupid can.

turned so abruptly, he still ate this set, and he really compared which one he liked better, azure and xuanse.

"I'm going to have dark lines in the dark." Since the little girl sent it to the door by herself, how can he not open his mouth.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xie Ke's face sank, and his face was full of chagrin.

Qi Lu couldn't help but laugh.

The last time he was recuperating, when they were chatting, Xie Ke once said that there was a kind of stitching with dark character lines that was very cumbersome. It is a great test of women's female popularity and endurance.

Naturally, this thing is also very eye-catching.

From a distance, it seemed as if there was a flash of handwriting on the robe.

If you look closely, there is none. All in all, very fancy.

He thought that if he really wore such a robe, someone would definitely ask him, and then he could proudly say that it was cut for him by his sister.

It must be very enviable.

The more Qi Lu thought about it, the happier he became, and the unhappiness of that moment just now immediately disappeared.

“…… All right. However, the dark letter pattern takes a lot of effort, I have to make you a spring shirt, and you can only get on it at the beginning of spring next year. Xie Ke finally agreed.

Qi Lu nodded again and again, looking like a child taking advantage of it.

Xie Ke couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

I think he's so innocent.

This man's temper comes and goes, and it's very unpredictable. Xie Ke couldn't help but feel shallow worry in his heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere was improving, He Zhang hurriedly took the opportunity to leave.

“…… The silver was sealed for the time being. Qi Lu finally commanded, and He Zhang nodded busily. After He Zhang left, Xie Ke began to slowly pack up the account books on the case.

Qi Lu, the master, used to have a wide heart. To be continued
