Thanks to Xue Dashao's blessing, Yu Shu finally had to order him to go out, although there was still a tail behind him, but he finally came out.

After turning around half a circle on the Changmenpu Street that she was familiar with, she easily got rid of the nursing home that Ji Xiaogu sent to follow her, Yu Shu went around two streets and trotted to the small courtyard of Qingzheng Daoren.

As she expected, inside and outside the house remained the same as when she left that morning, and outside there were empty wine jars and wine bowls on the stone table, and the quilt on the bamboo bed that she had hastily folded.

Even if she had guessed that this would be the case, Yu Shu couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, and had a faint premonition that Qing Zheng had explained everything that should be explained to her that day, and in the future, I was afraid that she would never see her again

She lay alone on the rattan chair where Qing Zheng often sat for a while, stood up, closed the doors and windows, carried all the things into the house, locked the door, stuffed the key into the threshold, and ran to the alley.

The door of Cao Zixin's house was still closed, Yu Shu touched the dust falling on the lock, surprised that Cao Zixin had not come back here, and remembered the familiar face from yesterday and today, looking at her with a mocking expression, and the strangeness made her feel depressed.

Standing at the door of Cao Zixin's house, she suddenly missed the shopkeeper Cao of Mianzhai, the eldest brother Cao next door, gentle and friendly like an old friend, so that she unconsciously thought of him whenever she was in trouble.

That's not a good habit.

Laughing at herself, she dialed the door lock, Yu Shu turned around and knocked on the door of Zhao Hui's house, and it was He Fangzhi who came to open the door-

"He Langzhong?"

"Xiaoyu?"

Seeing each other, both of them were surprised, He Fangzhi leaned sideways to let her in, knocked on the door, closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here, don't you say you can't tell?" ”

Yu Shu looked at the door and whispered, "How is Aunt Hui?" ”

"It's much better, I took medicine just now, and Sister-in-law Hu next door went back to cook, and I was guarding."

Yu Shu nodded, took out a bag of silver from his arms, and handed it to him, "You can help me give this money to Aunt Hui." ”

He Fangzhi was stunned, "Aren't you going in?" ”

"No, I'll go in, I know how to talk to her," Yu Shu touched his ears and pushed the money to him, his voice a little muffled, "If Aunt Hui asks me again, you can tell her and tell her that I am very good, not that I didn't mean not to come to see her, but that the family is strictly controlled." ”

He Fangzhi saw that she was embarrassed, so she comforted: "Don't worry, I will take care of her." ”

Yu Shu was depressed, didn't hear anything else in his words, thanked him, glanced at the door again, and left without looking back.

He Fangzhi returned to the house, and Zhao Hui leaned on the head of the bed and looked at him, with a little sadness in her eyes: "Has Xiaoyu been here?" ”

He Fangzhi nodded, took the money bag and gave it to her, Zhao Hui's eyes turned red in an instant, and she wept: "How come such a good child was not born in a good family?"

He Fangzhi raised her hand and patted her shoulder, "Good people will be rewarded, aren't you, don't you be, don't be sad, she said she will come back to see you." ”

gave the money to Zhao Hui, Yu Shu still had ten taels of belongings left, she picked out a set of well-fitting men's clothes in the ready-to-wear shop on the back street, changed the skirt on her body, and let the shopkeeper keep it, so she went out and rented a carriage to find Pei Jing at the main hall of Taiheng Chamber of Commerce.

She gave herself a hexagram on the way, and when she arrived at the place, it happened that Pei Jing was sitting in the backyard to check the accounts, one person in a room, but there were only three accounts on the table.

"Is the matter at home settled?" Pei Jing put down the abacus in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, Yu Shu rarely saw him do it himself, but he was not curious.

"Not yet, I've sent a hexagram to my husband," Yu Shu took out a crumpled piece of paper and put it on the table.

"Hey, how come it's five days? Aren't you only able to count for the last three days? ”

Yu Shu stood across the table and said with a smile: "I mean it can be guaranteed for three days, but I don't say that it can't be counted in the next two days." ”

Pei Jing heard the mystery in her words, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "It was the right time to send it, the Chamber of Commerce has a batch of goods to go by water tomorrow, by the way, since you are here, I will give you the money first." ”

He got up and went out to get the money, Yu Shu stood and waited for him, looked at the ledger on the table, picked it up and flipped through it, for those who know how to do it, the ledger is a three-dimensional database, and if you sweep it at a glance, you can probably sort out a shape, and for experts, it is even more clear at a glance, where there is something wrong, you can probably see a clue.

"Huh?" Yu Shu was suspicious, turned back two pages and crossed his fingers on a line, frowned, put down the account book, turned a few pages back, "tsk", saw that there was only a brush on the table, so he grabbed it and used it, took the paper to write and draw, and sneered at the most-

"What are you doing?" Pei Jing came back and saw Yu Shu lying on his desk writing and drawing, and hurriedly spoke up, for fear that she would accidentally draw the general ledger of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Mr. Pei," Yu Shu embarrassedly put down the brush and scratched his hair, "I, I just said this account casually, can't I show it to outsiders?" ”

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you see it, it's bad if you are looked at by outsiders," Pei Jing handed two silver tickets with ten taels of denominations to Yu Shu, took away the account in her hand, threw it aside, and sighed: "This is a big list after the statistics of the new accounts collected this year, I always feel that something is wrong, I haven't found it for two days, probably because I read it wrong." ”

Yu Shu looked at the account book on the table, and quietly Pei Jing looked tired, reached out and took it, turned to a page, pushed it in front of him, pointed to the top line and said, "Look here." ”

"Huh?"

She flipped through two pages and pointed to another place, "Look here." ”

Pei Jing is also an expert, and immediately found that something was wrong, straightened his waist, stretched out his hand to reach the abacus, and snapped:

"And here, here."

Looking at the beads on the abacus, Pei Jing suddenly realized, he finally knew that the Dao was not an illusion, and the person who did this set of accounts had indeed inserted a huge amount of expenditure, and patted the table when he landed, angry and laughing.

Pressing down on his anger, Pei Jing looked up at Yu Shu in amazement and said, "I haven't seen it, how do you know that what is wrong with Lu Dao?" ”

Yu Shu pretended to be confused: "Didn't you let me read a lot of accounts before, it's not right, it's wrong, I just looked at them strangely, and I knew that it was wrong." ”

If it weren't for the fact that Yu Shu couldn't have had anything to do with that group of people, Pei Jing would definitely doubt her origin, and now he could only see the excitement of Hunting Xinxi: "You kid, it's really, really a good qualification, it's a waste not to learn!" ”

Yu Shu hit the ghost place of Da'an Dynasty, and it was the first time that he was praised for his good qualifications, so he smiled shyly and said, "It was Mr. who taught him well." ”

If it wasn't for Pei Jing's generous professor, how could she understand the ancient accounts in such a short time.

"Okay, good," Pei Jing said in a loud voice, looking at Yu Shu's eyes with undisguised liking, if it weren't for his daughter being married, he really wanted to accept this kid as a door-to-door son-in-law.

"Mr. Pei, I have something I want to ask you about."

"What? You said. After solving this bad debt, Pei Jing was in a good mood, leaning on the back of the chair with his hands crossed, just waiting to hear what Yu Shu could ask him to help.

"I want to ask, what route should I take to get from Yiyang City to the capital?"

"You want to go to the capital?" Pei Jing was surprised, "What are you going to do?" ”

Yu Shu shook his head: "I asked for someone else." ”

"Oh," Pei Jing made a "I see" expression, not thinking so in his heart.

"If you want to go to Beijing, you can't go to the road, it's best to follow the dart bureau and the caravan, as long as you spend some money to get some money, and bring your own dry food on the road, otherwise one is on the journey, and it will be bad if you meet robbers and bandits." The Tongyuan Dart Bureau in Yiyang City has a dart car to the capital almost every month, and their dart masters are good, and the caravan, we Taiheng have their own escort, so they don't need to be pressed by the dart, and they will go to the capital once a month. ”

"Which is safer?"

Pei Jing said without hesitation: "Naturally, he follows us Taehyung, but when the Chamber of Commerce travels, he usually doesn't bring outsiders." ”

If you don't bring outsiders, you can bring your own people, Yu Shu heard the meaning of Pei Jing's words, and had a plan in his heart.

"Ah Shu, if there's anything you can ask me to help with, just ask." Pei Jing let out a sentence.

Pei Jing is very good at being a person, but Yu Shu is not stunned, of course he will not be moved to ask him for help because of his words, if she really needs her help, she will also choose another way not to give in to others.

"Hehe, then you can lend me the table now, and let me write something."

At noon, I ate three dishes and one soup with Pei Jing in the main hall, after Yu Shu said goodbye, he went to Vientiane Street, starting from a gambling house on East Street, winning a game and leaving, avoiding Baoren Gambling House, crossing most of the street, seven gambling houses, winning more than 20 taels of silver, plus Pei Jing gave, the rest before, there were fifty taels, and the road expenses were more than enough.

She changed a small bag of broken silver for three taels in the money village for easy use, and the rest of the silver tickets were hidden close to her, recalling that afternoon Ji Xiaogu tore up her ten taels of tickets, and her teeth were still itching.

He doesn't care about those ten taels or eighty taels, but those ordinary families of three with enough money have lived a good life for most of the year.

After taking care of these miscellaneous matters, Yu Shu returned to Changmenpu Street, went to the ready-to-wear shop to change his clothes, and swaggered to the Xue family annex.

No matter what, she has to meet Cao Zixin, not Xue Dashao.

The Xue family annex was closed, the road was deserted, Yu Shu stood diagonally opposite the gate under the roadside wall, waiting left and right, waiting for no one to come, watching the dusk fall, he had to kick the pebbles to the street.

She was so distracted that she didn't notice the movement around her, and around the corner a carriage came to a halt almost grazing her elbow.

She turned her head a little dazed to look at the behemoth parked beside her, and saw the curtain of the car pull up, revealing an indifferent face:

"Don't you look at the road—is that you?"

Xue Rui looked at the little girl under the car window, first surprised, her eyes flashed, and then she frowned.

"What are you doing here?"

Although Yu Shu hates this face now, he may bump into him, he is still happier in his heart, and when he looks left and right, he tiptoes, approaches the car window, stares at him directly, his face is reflected in his shiny pupils, and whispers:

"Brother Cao, is that you?"
