Early the next morning, Zou Shiyan accompanied Tang Chu to have breakfast together, yesterday was tiring in the journey, Tang Chu had no appetite, and he was full after eating some porridge and side dishes.

Zou Shiyan is a martial arts practitioner, and his appetite is bigger, but when he saw that Tang Chu seemed to be ordered, he didn't eat more, and put down the chopsticks after the two steamed buns.

"Why, are you full after eating this?" Tang Chu asked, she knew very well that Zou Shiyan's food in the previous life was huge, because the money earned by working weekdays had to be handed over to the uncle and aunt of the Zou family, and he had to tighten his belt to save money.

Later, Zou Shiyan married her and became an official in the court, and the family was no longer short of money, so Zou Shiyan could eat with his belly open.

Hearing Tang Chu's concerned greetings, Zou Shiyan was a little unnatural, since he met her, the other party has always cared for him, even if they don't have a marriage contract now, just a relationship between superiors and subordinates, they are still helped by the other party.

"It's okay, I was a little hot on the road yesterday, just take a break."

Hearing Zou Shiyan say this, Tang Chu didn't ask any more.

After a while, Shuangxi said that Steward Cao came to visit, Tang Chu tidied up his clothes and took Zou Shiyan to the front hall.

Cao Yong had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Tang Chu, he greeted him respectfully, and Tang Chu saw that he was old and asked him to sit down quickly, in a harmonious manner between master and servant.

The two chatted for a few words, and Tang Chu proposed to check Zhuangzi's delivery list, but Cao Yong didn't bother, and happily asked people to pick up the list of goods sent to the East and West Street Flowers and Plants Store in the past few years.

"Double happiness, call the account room, and check the account book we brought from the East and West Street Flowers and Plants Store."

"Yes, miss." Double Happiness went to the wing room to find Mr. Accounts.

Tang Chu, Cao Yong and Zou Shiyan waited in the hall.

Tang Chu chatted with Zou Shiyan from time to time, and Steward Cao, who was sitting at the bottom, looked like real gold was not afraid of fire refining, calm and calm, and seemed not afraid of being found out at all.

Tang Chu drank hot tea, the tea lid slid over the cup, and she looked at Steward Cao, she clearly remembered that in the previous life, this Cao Yong was full of private pockets, and he united with her second and third uncles to embezzle how much property her family had.

It's a pity that all his heart was on Zou Shiyan in his last life, and after his father died, he had no intention of taking care of these family businesses, so he let these treacherous villains take advantage of the loopholes.

This Cao steward is a little more difficult to deal with, but she has been prepared.

After a while, Cao Yong ordered someone to send the delivery list from the village, and Shuangxi also took the bookkeeper to carry the account book of the East and West Street Flowers and Herbs Store.

"Miss, this is the delivery list of the village in the past three years, and the little ones have brought it to you, you can see if there is anything wrong."

Steward Cao's attitude was calm and calm, as if she expected that she would not find out anything, Tang Chu smiled and asked Mr. Bookkeeper to start proofreading one by one.

The morning passed, and the ledgers of the three large boxes on the ground had been checked, and there was really nothing wrong with it.

Cao Yong smiled, "In that case, the little one will order someone to send these accounts back to the warehouse." ”

"That's fine, Steward Cao took care of Zhuangzi in an orderly manner, and my father was also very pleased." Tang Chu also seems to value Cao Yong.

"Master Tang handed over the Zhuangzi to me, and he valued the talent in the lower part of the country, and the flowers and plants sent by the East and West Street Flowers and Plants Store over the years have never made any mistakes, and it has really taken a lot of thought to do so."

Cao Yong stroked his beard, looking very complacent.

"Steward Cao is indeed a useful talent, so let's do it, it's noon soon, why don't Steward Cao have a meal with us, and then go to the village to enjoy the flowers."

"Thank you Miss for your kindness, Cao still has some things to take care of, so I will leave first, and wait until the afternoon to accompany Miss to the village to see the flowers?" Steward Cao rejected Tang Chu.

"That's fine, Cao Guan has a lot of things in the village, since this is the case, there is no need to stay, double happiness, send off." Tang Chu is as good as a stream.

"Steward Cao, please." Double Happiness hurriedly said.

"Miss, I'll see you in the afternoon." Steward Cao took his leave and left with two of his men.

As soon as the person left, Shuangxi couldn't help but say, "Miss, this Cao steward is much stronger than the two previous shopkeepers, at least he didn't fool the master's family." Double Happiness said innocently.

"Silly girl, how do you know that he didn't lie to us, the more treacherous and cunning people are, the more reasonable they are on the surface, and the more comprehensive they are."

Tang Chu shook her head, with the experience of the previous life, she would never believe that Steward Cao was really innocent.

"You mean, Cao Yong deceived his superiors and subordinates and made fake accounts to fool us?" Zou Shiyan guessed.

"The ledgers he brought are all real, but they can't stand scrutiny." Tang Chu said with a low face.

"Miss, what do you mean? Double Happiness doesn't understand. "Shuangxi is really a little confused by the second monk.

Tang Chu chuckled, picked up the two ledgers and said, "You see, the delivery list in the village is exactly the same as the receipt on East and West Street, but the amount of delivery should not be like this."

Zou Shiyan looked at Tang Chu's side face, every time she talked about business, she seemed to shine, focusing everyone's eyes on her.

Tang Chu didn't look at Zou Shiyan at this time, so he didn't know that the other party's gaze at her contained feelings that he didn't even notice.

Tang Chu continued, "The number of flowers produced in Zhuangzi every month according to the flowering period is definitely not this number, and the flowers they send to the flowers and plants on the East and West Streets on weekdays are at least thirty percent in shortage. ”

"Oh my God!" Shuangxi exclaimed.

"All the rest have been filled by Steward Cao, this person is so good at pretending." Zou Shiyan was a little indignant.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Shuangxi couldn't help but worry about her young lady.

"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, I have been doing it for a long time, and there is always a time when my tail is exposed, I have my own method."

When he said this, Tang Chu's face was confident, and Zou Shiyan and Shuangxi looked at her gorgeous and heroic face, and they were obsessed for a while.

The three of them had lunch, and soon received news from Cao Yong, who was waiting outside the hall.

"Steward Cao, I've kept you waiting, let's go quickly!" Tang Chu said with a smile.

"No, no, Cao has just arrived, and Miss is polite." Steward Cao bowed and saluted.

The group followed the path and soon came to the flower planting area.

The whole Zhuangzi is about hundreds of acres, covering a large area, each piece is planned neatly, which flowers like heat, which flowers like cool, which flowers like water......

It can be seen that the planters know flowers very well and love flowers, and the intentions of flower farmers can be seen just by the vigorous appearance of these flowers.

Tang Chu looked around and found some problems, but he didn't say anything.

The group was in this sea of flowers, a gust of wind blew, the flowers and plants swayed, and the fragrance was fragrant.

At this time, a servant suddenly walked over, he approached Cao Yong's side, whispered a few words, and Cao Yong's face suddenly changed greatly.
