The little maid stuck out her tongue: "In the house, everyone knows that the young lady is the top treasure of the son, and Steward Lin naturally knows it." ”

Qi Yan didn't quite believe Xiao Manyue's words.

Until he walked to the door of Lingchun Courtyard, and then saw Steward Lin.

"Young lady, are you back?" Steward Lin smiled at Qi Yan.

Qi Yan: "......"

"Why are you here?" Qi Yan said, and the housekeeper followed her into the house.

"I'm here to talk to the young lady about something." The butler said.

"What's the matter?" Qi Yan asked.

"Isn't this about to issue moon silver?" The butler said, "My account book here needs to be signed by the young lady. ”

Qi Yan glanced at it and said, "Didn't you explain all the big and small things in the house to Xie Xianxian?" ”

Steward Lin said: "Madame is right to explain to Miss Xie, but when the master left, he told me that the accounts need to be reviewed by the young lady." ”

Qi Yan: "......"

Full Moon said on the side: "Young lady, just take a look."

"Okay then." Qi Yan nodded.

The housekeeper hurriedly handed the account book to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan took it and flipped through the pages one by one, she didn't look fast or slow, there was no special expression on her face, but when she got to the back, the more she looked back, the more Qi Yan's eyebrows gathered, and finally twisted into a pimple.

"Was this what Madame was like when she was here?" Qi Yan saw the last page from the first page, then closed the ledger and asked Steward Lin.

Steward Lin nodded and replied, "When Madame is here, the expenses will be even more than now......

Qi Yan said lightly: "At that time, a large part of the expenses were spent on the repair and finishing of the garden, right?" ”

Steward Lin looked at Qi Yan in surprise: "Young lady! You see that? ”

Qi Yan bowed his head.

Steward Lin looked at Qi Yan with admiration and exclaimed, "No wonder. No wonder. ”

"What's the wonder?" The full moon on the side was puzzled.

Steward Lin explained: "I am in charge of the accounts in the house, and I have been in charge of this for decades, but once, the son told me that there is a person in the house who is better at reading the accounts than me!" I always thought that Childe was talking about himself, and he said it wasn't him...... It turned out that Childe was talking about the young lady. ”

Steward Lin gave a thumbs up as he spoke: "Young lady, you only read it once, and you can see the problem, it's really amazing!" ”

Qi Yan smiled and said, "Seeing that the problem is only the surface, whoever can solve this problem is powerful." ”

The butler smiled and did not speak.

Qi Yan handed the account book to the housekeeper: "Okay, I've finished reading the account book, next, what should you do, what should you do." ”

"Young lady, do you have any instructions?" Steward Lin asked.

"Nope." Qi Yan said, "What you did before, how do you do it now." ”

"That's good." Steward Lin said, "Then I'll take the account book and hand it over to Miss Xie for a look." ”

"Go ahead." Qi Yan waved his hand.

…………

…………

When Steward Lin left, and there were only Qi Yan and the full moon in the house, the little maid couldn't help but ask, "Young lady, there is a problem with the cost of garden repairs, right?" ”

Qi Yan said: "You can also see it?" ”

"How can I tell?" Full Moon shook her head and said, "I don't know how to read the accounts, I've just been looking at the young lady." The young lady will frown if she encounters a problem with the accounts. ”

The little maid said, still learning to frown at Qi Yan, very similar to that.

Qi Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "You are a good person." ”

"So, young lady, there is really a problem with that expense, right?"

"Yes." Qi Yan said, "Of all the accounts of the repaired garden, three of the four accounts are false accounts, and the remaining part is inflated. ”

"Huh?" Full Moon was surprised, "There is such a thing!?" ”

Qi Yan said: "And the Xie family doesn't go through accounts like this every month, in that account book, this is every month." ”

Full Moon said: "That's a lot of money, right?" ”

Qi Yan bowed his head: "The number is considerable. ”

"Where did all the money go?" Full Moon asked.

Qi Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is for Steward Lin." ”

The full moon blinks.

Qi Yan Dao; "You just said that Steward Lin is Xie Fuyi's henchman, right?"

"yes." Full Moon nodded and said, "Everyone in the house knows that Steward Lin listens to the words of the son the most. ”

"Then this money should be in Mrs. Xie's pocket, and the account for repairing the garden was approved by her."

"Huh?! Full Moon said incredulously, "So, ma'am...... Are you still greedy for your own money? ”

Qi Yan was not surprised, and said: "The Xie family's business is run by Xie Fu Yi and Master Xie, Mrs. Xie can't meddle in the business, the money in her hand is naturally limited, she will inevitably have a ......time when she is nervous in the house" Qi Yan shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Mrs. Xie needs money, but she is embarrassed to ask Xie Fu Yi for it, so ......"

Full Moon said: "Young lady, you say, does he know about the child?" ”

Qi Yan said: "You have said that Steward Lin is Xie Fuyi's person, so Xie Fuyi must know about this matter, and he still acquiesced in this matter." ”

…………

…………

Anyway, Qi Yan and Xiao Manyue were still talking about the accounts, and here Steward Lin came to Xie Xianxian's Lingchi Courtyard with the account books.

"Miss, Steward Lin has arrived." The maid led Steward Lin to Xie Xianxian.

"Bring it." Xie Xianxian leaned on the couch and stretched out his hand directly.

Steward Lin lowered his head and handed over the account book.

Xie Xianxian looked through it decently, and saw that it was a matter.

"What's going on with the accounts here?" She suddenly pointed to one of the accounts and asked sharply.

"Miss, what's the problem?"

"Here!" Xie Xianxian fiercely pointed at Ling Chunyuan's expenses.

Steward Lin took a closer look: "Miss, is there any problem with the accounts?" Same as before. ”

Xie Xianxian said: "How can it be the same? My brother is not at home, and Ling Chunyuan has one less master, how can the expenses be the same as before? ”

The housekeeper explained: "It's been less than a month since the son left, and this is the account book for the first half of the year. ”

Xie Xianxian's face was ugly: "I want to see after my brother leaves!" ”

"Here are the accounts after Childe is gone." Steward Lin said, handing over a new account book.

Xie Xianxian directly opened the place in Lingchun Courtyard, looked at the number of expenses, and her eyes lit up, as if she had caught Qi Yan's handle: "What's going on these days?" Why is it almost the same as last month?! ”

Steward Lin was about to explain: "Although the young lady is not here, the young lady is still there, and everything is still the same in Lingchun Courtyard, so the expenses have not changed much." ”

Xie Xianxian was not angry, patted the table and said, "The Xie family's money is for the master to spend!" My brother is a master, and if the master is not at home, Lingchun Courtyard should be reduced by more than half! ”

Steward Lin couldn't cry or laugh: "Miss, I don't know how to calculate the account......"

"Shall I use you to teach me how to settle accounts?" Xie Xianxian glared, "Are you the master, or am I the master?!" ”

Steward Lin looked helpless, and replied crying: "Of course you are the master." ”

"Then listen to me." Xie Xianxian said, throwing the account to Steward Lin, "From today onwards, the expenses of Ling Chun Courtyard will be halved. ”

"But this ......"

"I don't want to say that a second time." Xie Xianxian said, "Are you okay?" ”

Steward Lin asked tentatively, "......What about the other accounts?"

"I've seen it, and there's no problem at all." Xie Xianxian said: "After that, you can do what I say." ”

"I ......" Steward Lin looked embarrassed.

Xie Xianxian said: "Don't forget, this matter Xie Fu, my surname is Xie, and Qi Yan's surname is Qi!" ”

"I see." Steward Lin sighed, "Miss, I'm leaving." ”

…………

…………

Steward Lin came out of Xie Xianxian's Lingchi Courtyard, let out a long sigh, and then headed towards Ling Chun Courtyard again.

At this time, a guest came to Lingchun Courtyard, and Xiao Yu was walking into the house and telling Qi Yan: "Young lady, someone asks to see you." ”

Qi Yan was talking to Full Moon about the accounts, stopped, and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"She said she was the Lady of the Qi family." Xiao Yu said.

"Mrs. Qi Family?"

Isn't that Mrs. Qi?

"What is she here for?" Qi Yan wondered in her heart, her expression was not obvious, she stood up, "Let her in." ”

"Yes."

…………

…………

"Qi Yan...... You're a good guy! The first thing Mrs. Qi said when she walked into Qi Yan's house was this, her tone was very exaggerated, and she couldn't suppress the slight sarcasm in her tone if she listened carefully.

"Sit down." Qi Yan snorted her chin.

Mrs. Qi saw that Qi Yan didn't salute her, her face was a little ugly, but now it was not what it used to be, she was okay: "swallow her anger" and sat down in front of Qi Yan.

"Why don't you see Qi Shu?" Madame Qi looked around, and her eyes fell on the full moon.

Shouldn't it be Qi Shu who follows Qi Yan's side? How did you become this yellow-haired girl?

"Qi Shu is waiting in the next place." Qi Yan said.

"Beside it?" Mrs. Qi said, "What place?" ”

Qi Yan said: "Rough maid." ”

"Rough maid?" Mrs. Qi disagreed, she said, "Qi Yan, you also grew up from below, like sisters." How did you get Qi Shu to be a rough maid? ”

"So, you're here to see Qi Shu?" Qi Yan said, turning his head to look at the full moon, "You go and bring Qi Shu over, let Mrs. Qi catch ......up with her," he said, looking at Mrs. Qi, "I won't bother you." ”

Qi Yan got up and was about to leave.

Mrs. Qi's face was very ugly, she came to the Xie family, naturally not for Qi Shu, a maid.

What she said just now was just to knock Qi Yan and make her not forget her identity! In the final analysis, in the eyes of Mrs. Qi, Qi Yan is still the lowly maid who occupies the magpie's nest!

"I'm not here to see Qi Shu." Seeing that Qi Yan was leaving, Mrs. Qi hurriedly said, "I'm here to find you." ”

Qi Yan turned his head: "I'm fine, Mrs. Lao is worried." ”

Saying this, the body did not sit down.

Mrs. Qi said, "It's so easy for me to come, Qi Yan, you sit down first." ”

Qi Yan paused, reluctant, but thinking of Qi Qing'an, she still sat down.

"You came to me, did I catch up with me?" Qi Yan simply went straight to the point.

"Sort of." Mrs. Xie looked at Qi Yan's Qi Yan, and talking to Qi Yan on an equal footing made her a little uncomfortable.

In the Qi family before, she sat and Qi Yan stood and served, but now Qi Yan is not only on an equal footing with her, but her status is still above her......... This was originally supposed to be her daughter's position, all of which belonged to her daughter Qi Qing'an, and Qi Yan was something!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie's face was a little difficult to look at.

Qi Yan knew that she had made an old mistake again, and said directly: "Isn't it reminiscing?" What did Madame want to say. ”

Mrs. Xie suddenly came to her senses and looked at Qi Yan. She remembered the purpose of her trip, and the arrogant look on her face darkened.

"Qi Yan, you just say, how about me and Miss treat you?" Mrs. Xie asked suddenly.

Qi Yan: "Miss treats me very well. ”

It's not a kind word, it's really from the heart.

Qi Qing'an is different from Mrs. Qi, she is really good to Qi Yan, although she is not as affectionate as Qi Yan to the full moon, but she has never abused Qi Yan. Identity restrictions, it is impossible for all masters to regard their subordinates as friends or sisters. Qi Qing'an is right to Qi Yan, as the master, she has done a good job.

Like Qi Yan and Full Moon, the two masters and servants, these two are a very rare exception.

"You also said that Qing'an treats you very well." Mrs. Qi said, "Then, now that the Qi family is in trouble, should you help out?" ”

Qi Yan asked, "Is the Qi family having trouble in business?" ”

Mrs. Qi didn't answer directly, but said, "Now, Fu Yi is not in the house, and neither are Master Xie and Mrs. Xie, and now, you are the one in charge of the Xie Mansion, right?" ”

Qi Yan said: "I was born as a maid, where did I go to be the master of the Xie family, don't forget, the Xie family also has an eldest lady." ”

"Xie Xianxian is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, what do you know?" Mrs. Qi disagreed, and said, "I remember, when you were in the Qi family, you were very good at account books and business. ”

"So what?"

Mrs. Qi rubbed her hands and said, "Qi Yan, you move your hands and move 10,000 taels of silver from the Xie family." ”

Qi Yan looked at Mrs. Qi and didn't speak.

10,000 taels ......

In a place where every inch of land is expensive, 10,000 taels can do a lot of things! Qi Yan bought Luo Zai's bookstore, and he didn't need 10,000 taels! Now Mrs. Xie wants 10,000 taels when she opens her mouth, so let her "move" out of the Xie family.

"For you, this is definitely a small problem, and I know the level of your accounting." Mrs. Qi slowed down and continued, "Of course, I didn't have to leave for nothing with this money, and when I get back to the capital, I will pay you back as much." ”

"No, I don't." Qi Yan coldly refused and said, "Master Qi's business is in trouble, you can ask the shopkeeper of the Xie family for help." The Qi family's business is dependent on the Xie family, and I believe that the Xie family will not help you. ”

"It's not the lord's business." Mrs. Qi's face was embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Although the master's business has also encountered some problems, it has been solved now. ”

Qi Yan said, "Then who is this ten thousand taels for?" ”
