Don't let me play! A maid muttered, "The county lord didn't say anything......"

Another fast-talker also helped: "That's it, the county lord let me play." ”

Jing'er said angrily: "Okay, you continue to play, and the county lord will rest until the quarrel, and you will wait to be punished." ”

"Then let's go to the outer courtyard to play!"

Jing'er was even more annoyed, pointed to her nose and scolded in a low voice: "Then go, there is no need for anyone to serve the county lord." Go and play, and when you are beaten, or even depreciated, don't come to me. ”

When several maids heard that something was wrong, one of them came up and softened: "Sister Jing'er is right, we are young and ignorant, so we will collect our things and go to work." ”

Jing'er then put out the fire, turned around and entered the house.

Xining naturally heard clearly, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

The next day, Steward Lin and Xiao Zhan came over to say goodbye.

Xining didn't mention the matter of Steward Lin picking up his family at all, but just said: "Have a good journey, go early and return early." ”

Anyway, if Steward Lin doesn't bring his family this time, he will directly let him fall in love with him wherever he goes, anyway, there is no room for him here.

After the two left, Xining called Steward Xiao and asked how much money was spent on the flowers and plants in the yard.

Steward Lin is gone, and Steward Xiao naturally has to take care of the expenses in the house.

Speaking of money, Steward Xiao was bitter: "County Lord, this Steward Lin didn't give me the account book at all, so he left five hundred taels of silver, saying that it was enough for a month's expenses, and left with the key to the warehouse." ”

"Originally, it was just a confused account, and it was useless to ask for it." Xining tilted her head slightly and raised her eyebrows: "Now you will take someone, take an axe, and smash the lock of the warehouse." The lock was smashed and it was useless, so the door was smashed. ”

Steward Xiao was stunned, what is this county mainly for?

Xining sat up straight again, shaking her fan: "I think of a red gold step shake and want to wear it." You go in and get it, and by the way, take the account! When the account is finished, give me the account book. When Steward Lin comes back, I will compare it with him with the number you have plated. ”

"You, you, you!" turned to point and pointed at the three people in a row: "Do you know how to read?" ”

The maid shook her head, and only one of the two servants nodded.

There were so few literate people that Xining asked, "Who else can read?" ”

Jing'er replied: "The slave maid has followed the county master since she was a child and knows a few words. ”

"You don't need it, without you, I still feel inconvenient, how many days will this warehouse take." Xi Ning didn't want Jing'er to go, on the one hand, Jing'er served her thoroughly, and on the other hand, the inventory was also a big deal.

When asked, the slaves around him only knew three words, and they didn't know much.

"The three of them followed Steward Xiao together, they didn't know much about words, so they would grind ink, serve tea and water. Then look for four or five, reliable, clean hands and feet, and feasible to move things. Xining picked up a piece of melon and nibbled on it: "You are limited to five days to finish, if you finish early, you will have time to take a vacation." It is important to be accurate and have clear accounts. ”

Chewing melons in his mouth, he said meaningfully to Steward Xiao: "Steward Lin is just an old man in the Qinling Palace, I don't care about taking some kickbacks in the middle, as long as I can afford it." I'm eating meat, and the people below are drinking some soup or something. Anyway, this routine can't be stopped, just don't go too far. To tell the truth, even if people are on my side, I am also capable, and whoever does a good job will be reused. Do you understand? ”

Steward Xiao suddenly showed joy on his face, he couldn't hide it, and he saluted and said that he understood, and he would definitely do things well.

In fact, none of the two housekeepers is reliable, Steward Lin should be the person of King Han, and Steward Xiao is the person of the county magistrate of Zhou. If Steward Lin really came over with his family, he wouldn't be able to drive away. Then let these two stewards restrain each other and restrain each other.

And this time, Steward Lin is not there, just to see if this Steward Xiao has the ability to support this house, and can fight with Steward Lin, this is also the reason why she asked Steward Xiao's nephew to go with Steward Lin.

As soon as Steward Xiao got the hint, he was full of enthusiasm and led someone to smash the lock of the warehouse. It started early in the morning and lasted until midnight. In less than three days, the treasury was put in order, and the account books were brought over.

Xining opened the account book, a total of ten volumes, this owner really has a lot of property, most of them are good treasures.

And there were five hundred ingots of horseshoe gold and eight thousand taels of silver.

It cost 1,000 taels to buy the shop, and 500 taels were left for Steward Xiao. Where did the other five hundred taels go? When Steward Lin comes back, he has to ask where the missing five hundred taels go. Whether it became the flowers and plants in the yard, or a heavy box that he walked with.

Xining raised her head and said with a smile: "This matter is well done, I will do what I say." Steward Xiao and a few have worked hard, Steward Xiao will take ten taels of silver and divide it, and the remaining two days can rest and make their own arrangements. ”

Steward Xiao immediately saluted: "Thank you county lord, I won't rest, in the past three days, there are a lot of things piled up in the house." ”

"Okay, then it's hard work." Xining doesn't force it, there are indeed a lot of things in the house, and Steward Xiao is willing to work now, so let's do it. Anyway, it seems that he is in good health, and he should not die of overwork. Otherwise, it will be annoying to let her take over this bunch of things.

After a long time, a maid replied. Secretly inquired, after Steward Xiao went back, he took ten taels of silver, kept three taels for himself, and gave the other seven taels to the seven people who counted the goods together.

It seems that the heart is not black! Xining shook her fan gently, the day was getting hotter and hotter, and she had to put an ice basin to cool off before long.

This is the good thing about being a county lord, you don't need to ask for peace, you don't need to go to court, you sleep until you wake up naturally every day.

When he woke up and had eaten, Xining asked someone to put a pitcher on the table.

I threw a few sticks, and most of them were able to go into the pot.

"Bang dang~" one into the pot, and the surrounding area applauded.

"County Lord, please!" Jing'er handed one with both hands.

"Don't play, boring!" Xining looked embarrassed, didn't pick it up, and instead went to get the fan that the maid next to her was helping to hold. It seemed to think of something: "The pitcher seems to be an archery before." ”

Jing'er replied: "Exactly, when I drank during the banquet before, I was all archery, and I lost the drink." But some literati did not know how to shoot arrows, and instead used pitchers to throw pots. ”

"That's ......" Xining pretended to be on a whim: "Go find a bow and arrow, and set up a target." I want to shoot an arrow! ”

Jing'er was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "My good county lord, how did you think of archery." This archery requires drawing the bow and pinching the arrows, and the hands will be sharpened. ”

Xining looked arrogant and unlistened: "I just want to shoot arrows, bring arrows." What's the matter, the county lord can't shoot arrows if he wants to? ”

Jing'er only smiled bitterly: "Okay, the county lord said that if you want to shoot an arrow, then shoot." Come on, go to Steward Xiao and ask him to bring the bow and arrow and the target. The county lord wants to shoot arrows! ”

Xining was happy at this time, shook the fan, and said to the maids: "When the bow and arrow arrive, everyone will play together, play well, and the county lord will have a reward!" ”

The last time I played the pitcher, basically everyone won more than a dozen dollars, and many of them even got thirty or forty. In private, everyone throws away to practice when they have time. I didn't expect the county lord to become fast, and he was not addicted to throwing pots, so he was going to play archery.

After playing, there is still money to take, which is naturally good. So the maids smiled and saluted in thanks.
