Chapter 488: Hands-on

There was such a small quarrel and a small contradiction, and Gao Zhen immediately became more gentle and considerate. Zhao Xiu wanted to see the account books, so he sent all the new accounts transcribed by his subordinates to the east ear room, and Zhao Xiu checked them. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many old account books and they were stored relatively closely, Zhao Xiu didn't want to alarm too many people and stopped him, but he was afraid that he would also move over.

The account books are complete, and Zhao Xiu has more uses. She uses double-entry accounting to summarize all the numbers, and if the two sides of the account cannot be balanced, it means that there is a problem. It is clear at a glance which time of the problem, which project is the problem, and who is in charge at that time. This project is a bit big, but Gao Zhen comes over every day to accompany her, and also helps her to do it - whether it is really a hand-work, grinding ink and paper, looking up reference materials, or when Zhao Xiu's handwriting is tired, make a record according to her dictation, and leave his own ink treasure on the analysis report. With his help, Zhao Xiu is much easier.

Zhao Xiu saw Gao Zhen so attentive, and also felt his sincerity, and he no longer ignored him like before. If there is anything he does not understand, she will also explain to him in detail: "This is a double-entry bookkeeping, and in this way the accounts are reconciled, and all the money spent must be exchanged for something of equal value, or materials, or the labor of the craftsman, or anything else, there must be a number." If the accounts on both sides are not equal, and the money spent is not exchanged for something, then someone must have misstated the expenses. If the cost of the Jiading section of the embankment is taken as the standard, there is a place where it costs several times more money than it, but the materials bought are almost or even less, which must be someone who has filled his own pocket. How can there be such a big difference in prices around Shanghai? Even if the materials bought back are several times more, you have to see if they are all used in the project, and where are the unused things? Did they really buy so much material? Where did you get the goods? Why did it cost so much? If you can't find the answers to these questions, you're faking ......"

Gao Zhen nodded as he listened. He is now very open-minded, and he is also actively helping Zhao Xiu do things. He sat next to Zhao Xiu, and the two shared a bookcase, often using the same pen and dipping ink in the same inkstone. Wash the pen with the same water. Gao Zhen used Zhao Xiu's ruler to help her draw tables and help her copy numbers, and after a lot of cooperation, he even cultivated a little tacit understanding. She wanted something. Usually before he could say anything, he had already handed her something. This made her feel a subtle sweetness in her heart, thinking that although he had a lot of problems, he was still good to her.

If only he was around to help, he wouldn't always take her wrong bowl. On two occasions she couldn't stop it. actually asked him to drink the tea in her tea bowl by mistake, which made her embarrassed, so she could only order her mother-in-law to pour another bowl of tea. Gao Zhen also looked ashamed and apologized to her repeatedly, but unfortunately she was still careless, and after half a day, she drank the wrong one again. She had to put her tea bowl farther away, lest Gao Zhen take it by mistake again - she actually had some doubts, was he so careless? After being bluffed by him once, Zhao Xiu has now become a little suspicious. But see his annoyed expression. She felt that maybe she was too careful.

Zhao Xiu has methods and skills, Gao Zhen actively cooperates, and the results of the cooperation between the two are very impressive, and the efficiency is much faster than Zhao Xiu doing it alone. They found more and more errors and omissions in the accounts, and the clues that could be traced became more and more obvious, Zeng Shilang, who received the analysis report, was so excited that he repeatedly said to King Guangping: "This old accountant of the Jiannan Hou family is really capable, I really want to see him." This is a rare talent! ”

King Guangping, who knew the truth, could only laugh and say nothing. Recently, he has always shown this kind of unfathomable expression from time to time, and Zeng Shilang took a look. I stopped asking questions in interest.

However, under his publicity, a group of attachΓ©s in the front hall, as well as the officials and account offices seconded by the yamen at all levels in Hangzhou, also knew that there was a capable person in the back hall who joined the ranks of auditing the accounts, and found many problems with their eyes. This capable man is also from Jiannanhou Mansion. If it weren't for the slow progress of their work, Jian Nanhou would never have lent his henchmen lightly.

Everyone sighed. The high efficiency of the east room in the back hall also helped them a lot. Because of their slow inventory, the last batch of old account books had already been divided into half, and they finished the inventory in less than two days, and there were no mistakes or omissions, which greatly reduced their burden. They have worked so hard for so many days. I don't feel that the newcomer is grabbing a job at all, but I feel that the other party has saved them, and I only have gratitude and admiration in my heart.

Among them, only Zhao You is confused, where is there any capable account office in Hangzhou? The old lady Zhang and the eldest girl Zhao Xiu came to Hangzhou to play, and they didn't bring the account room at all; The big housekeeper Wang Shuangfu is not good at managing accounts; A few big girls have never heard of such skills; The people in the Hangzhou Tea House Tea Garden are all used to by Cai Zhuocheng, and it is impossible for Zhao Wei to let them get involved in the affairs of the imperial court. However, the little aunt Zhao Xiu has a good abacus, and she has been in charge of the family for several years, and the accounts have always been very clear, and the clansmen have also admired them in private. Could it be that the little aunt has a useful housekeeper? But if there is really such a person around Zhao Xiu, who is in charge of the feed, Zhao You helps take care of the Hou Mansion industry, it is impossible not to have heard of it. It can't be the little aunt Zhao Xiu who goes into battle in person, right?

Zhao You was still guessing there, and after Zhao Xiu straightened out the account books at hand, all the problems were exposed, and the clues became clear and clear. Zhao Wei had already taken someone to make an unannounced visit, and brought back all the human and physical evidence that should be collected, and it was almost time to do it.

Winter is going to spring, and the time has entered February. Yamen in all parts of Hangzhou have been opened, and officials have gathered their minds and turned their attention to the garden where the Qincha team lived on the edge of the West Lake. There are rumors in the city, and various forces are surging in secret. The king of Guangping knew that he could not delay any longer, so he consulted with Zeng Shilang and Zhao Wei, and borrowed men from the Hangzhou garrison - in the first month he sent people to hurry back to Beijing to ask the emperor for his will - and prepared to arrest all those who should be arrested from Hangzhou from south to north when the second dragon raised its head in February tomorrow.

Zhao Wei and Zeng Shilang, as deputy envoys of the Qin Mission, are responsible for arresting people all the way, and it is impossible to stay in Hangzhou to enjoy happiness. King Guangping doesn't have to work hard, but after all, Hangzhou is just a place to avoid everyone's attention, and if he wants to try the case, he has to return to Jiading. Of course, he can walk slowly and without rushing. He was planning to wait for the weather to get warmer, and Hangzhou was not far from Jiading. Gao Zhen naturally follows his father, he can help with things, but he has no official position, and it is a bit unjustifiable to arrest and interrogate people.

Zhao Wei rushed back to the house next door to pack up his things, this time, he couldn't even bring the little guy he carried, only took two personal soldiers to take care of his daily life. Zhao Xiu finished his work, and he had to go back to the small mansion to accompany Zhang. Because Zhao Wei was in a hurry, she left Liu Lu to pack her luggage in Yi Meixuan, and walked back to the mansion first.

The grandchildren were all in the garden, and they couldn't come back to accompany them, and the Zhang family was really lonely at first. But the mother and daughter of the Mi family came to see her twice in three days, or sent someone to bring her things, and she didn't feel sad. After a series of meetings, Zhang now has more and more appreciation for Mrs. Mi, and is more active than before in trying to find ways to regulate her body. The few prescriptions that Zhang is accustomed to are all from the hands of famous doctors in Tai Hospital, and the effect is naturally not covered. Mrs. Mi begged back, and after only three doses, she felt that her body was not as cold as before. At the turn of winter and spring, she was most likely to get sick, she felt uncomfortable in previous years, she had to get sick for a while, lie down for a few days, and this year she actually survived. The father and daughter of the Mi family were overjoyed, and Mi Yingzhi regarded the Zhang family as a benefactor, and specially made her a new forehead wipe and jacket as a thank you gift.

Zhang likes Mi Yingzhi's needlework, and feels that their mother and daughter are grateful, decent and worthy of communication. When he lived alone and was lonely, he sent someone to take Mi Yingzhi over to talk. When Zhao Xiu rushed back to bid farewell to his brother Zhao Wei, Mi Yingzhi was by Zhang's side.

When Zhao Xiu saw her, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and when Zhang said the reason, she smiled and said: "I've been neglecting my grandmother these days, I've been worrying, I don't know how my grandmother is doing at home." Now that I know that I am accompanied by my cousin, I am relieved. ”

Mi Yingzhi smiled, and asked Zhao Wei with some curiosity: "Is Cousin Zhao going to be out of tolerance?" Is Chin Cha going back? ”

Zhao Wei's whole body stiffened, and he replied dryly: "I have to stay for a few more days, and I won't leave until I finish my errand." ”

Zhao Xiu resisted the urge to raise his hand to hide his eyes.

Mi Yingzhi smiled and said, "Cousin Zhao is really hard, please take care of your body." ”

Zhao Wei nodded with a straight face: "I will." ”

Zhao Xiu couldn't help it and coughed.

Zhao Wei heard it, and he was actually anxious in his heart. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he secretly made up his mind every time that he wanted to behave naturally and gracefully in front of Mi Yingzhi, and to be like a beautiful son-just like usual, and he didn't have to deliberately behave like him. But every time he saw Mi Yingzhi, he couldn't control his body. No wonder my sister was in a hurry, he was so anxious that he couldn't do it. Unfortunately, there are always some things in the world, not what he wants, he can do.

Zhao Wei was in a hurry to go out, and it was impossible to chat more with the female dependents. No matter how reluctant he was, when the little guy had packed his luggage, he had to go out. After bidding farewell to his grandmother, sister and cousin, he returned to the garden with his luggage to meet his subordinates. As soon as he left the garden with his front foot, Gao Zhen slipped over with his back foot.

Mi Yingzhi had already said goodbye, and Gao Zhen began to try to persuade Zhang: "Turmoil is rising in Hangzhou, why don't you move to the garden?" They are close to us, and they take care of each other. On the scenery, but also count the good in the garden, in the garden can also overlook the spring scenery of the West Lake. When I have nothing to do, the old lady can also talk to my father. Now there are many fewer people in the garden, and it is more deserted than before. There is no entry and exit prohibition, and the old lady moves here, which is no different from living in this house, and the place is more spacious. ”

"This ......," Zhang hesitated.

Zhao Xiu heard that something was wrong, so he asked Gao Zhen: "But what happened?" ”

Gao Zhen smiled: "What can it be?" I just thought that if you brought few men, it would be safer to live in the garden and be protected by officers and soldiers than to stay in the house. Even if there is something that is not long-sighted, and it is not dead set on pestering you, or a dog jumps over the wall to find your bad luck, I am not afraid that they will come to you. ”

Zhao Xiu guessed that he was referring to the Zhao family's mother and son and the third girl Lu, and just as he wanted to ask a little clearer, the Zhang family had already decisively clapped the board: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" (To be continued.) )
