As soon as Hongmei heard this, she couldn't bear it, and immediately sneered: "It's really 'there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king', it really gives them face." ”

Luo Qing didn't feel anything about it, and he wouldn't be angry because of it, people, there is always a little vanity, but it's not good if it's too much.

"Anything else?"

"Back to the princess, isn't it a few days before the New Year, then Mrs. Qiu also went to buy a lot of things, bought a few clothes for her own children, and some accessories, and usually her children's food and clothing are not short." Liuxi replied.

Luo Qing nodded thoughtfully: "This ordinary family, even if he is in charge, he can't buy so many clothes for a large family all year round, right?" And accessories. Looking at the way his family spends money, Steward Qiu's hands and feet are not clean. ”

"That's true, it was the slaves who failed the instructions of the prince and the princess and didn't take care of these Zhuangzi."

Liuxi has always been loyal, but in recent years, Yan Huai has not been in Beijing, he is busy in and out, there are so many shops inside and outside Beijing, and the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing is also neglected.

Luo Qing said with a smile: "Liuxi, I know that you have not been easy all these years, a huge palace, it is all up to you, where can you take care of everything?" Unless it is a god descending to earth. ”

"This time, let's take a look first, just settle the matter, and get out of the way. What's more, now that I have entered the palace, I will also help take care of one or two, and it can also reduce your burden. ”

She really didn't mean to cut Liuxi's rights in the palace, but Liuxi was so busy all day long that his feet didn't touch the ground, and there were many properties in the palace, so he really couldn't take care of it.

And this account can't just be in the hands of one person, let one person manage it, then if Liuxi is tired and doesn't want to do it, it will be troublesome for her to find no one to take over for a while.

"Do you have the right person to recommend? You have been in charge of the house, and you must know the abilities and conduct of the people in the house better than me. ”

Liuxi is a smart person, and he has also seen through Luo Qing's behavior in the past year, and he still recognizes this princess in his heart, so he naturally knows everything.

Luo Qing did not perfunctory after listening to the examples of Liuxi one by one, but asked Qingxing to remember it for herself, and let her go back to the house to take the school exam, and then let Liuxi come forward to promote them.

Let Liuxi come forward, those individuals are bound to remember Liuxi's good, Luo Qing's move is also to show Liuxi that she believes in him, and Fang Cai's words have no side meaning, it can be regarded as selling personal favors to him.

People are like this, to keep a person's heart, not only money, but also favors, and this favor is something that accumulates over time.

"Except for Steward Qiu, what about those tenants? What can be seen? ”

"I also looked for someone to visit, and said that it was Qiu Steward who really loves to occupy the small. It is cheap, and the grain handed in by the tenants will always be fished up by him, and the tenants will help him work on the acres of land he bought in the next village, and he can't take his money, so he will do it, and he will not starve to death if he works under his hands anyway. ”

"This Qiu steward's sex slave also knows a thing or two, he is timid, and he doesn't dare to turn the sky upside down, and he only dares to take advantage of some big and small advantages, and he doesn't dare to bully men and women."

Liuxi has lived in the palace for many years, and has seen a lot of bullying people, and begging for a life under the hands of others inevitably has to look at people's faces.

Luo Qing also understands that there may be some people who have done something pickled, and it sounds like this Qiu is better.

When he arrived in the Zhuangzi, Steward Qiu came early with a few village heads to wait, Luo Qing wore a long gauze hat and said a few polite words to the same person, then raised his feet and stepped into the house, sat down behind the screen, and took off the long yarn hat before talking about business.

"I'm tired of Steward Qiu, bring the account book on the village to me for inspection."

Steward Qiu shook his beard, and when he heard this, he pressed down and pressed his waist, which was quite respectful.

"Yes."

After that, he gave the people on the side a look and asked them to bring the ledger.

When the man came in with a thick account book, Qing Xing stepped forward, took the account book, and then turned into the screen and handed it to Luo Qing.

Luo Qing took the account book, then lightly opened his lips, asked people to give him a seat, and chatted with others about seemingly unrelated gossip.

"Has the harvest in this Zhuangzi been good in recent years? Are the tenants having a good time? ”

"Back to the princess, the harvest in recent years is good. The prince and princess are very kind, and the tenants in the Zhuangzi have always been generous, and they can live a good life. ”

The man looked respectful, but there was no truth in his words, and he was a sycophant.

But Luo Qing didn't show it on his face, but he just mentioned lightly: "It's a good day, and the material of your clothes is also good for me to look at outside, and it's almost the same as what Liuxi is wearing." ”

These six joys are the stewards of the palace, and they are going to come out to treat people and things, and they are all the faces of the palace, not to mention that he has been with Yan Huai for many years, and he will not treat him harshly, and his food and clothing should be extremely good.

But looking at Steward Qiu's clothes, this is magnificent, and he doesn't look like an ordinary worker, but like the landlord of Beijizhuang.

If you do something wrong, you should be a man with your tail between your legs, I haven't seen him so flamboyant, it's really been too comfortable these years!

But Luo Qing didn't have an immediate seizure, and he didn't give Manager Qiu a chance to talk more, and said to himself: "I also want to see how everyone's life is doing, and I'm relieved to see how everyone is doing." ”

As he spoke, Luo Qing gave Hongmei a look, and Hongmei walked out of the screen and said in a loud voice: "Come on, bring up the silver coin." "Bashan loves

When the housekeeper lifted the two baskets of copper plates, the eyes of the people in the house lit up instantly.

Although they are all copper plates, these two baskets are also exchanged for a lot of silver.

"It's also going to be the New Year, this is my little care, each household is according to the population, one person can give a string of copper plates, and let the big guys have a good New Year, and they will be happy together."

"Yes, yes, the little tenants have thanked the princess here."

Several people in the room nodded their heads, and their joy was overflowing.

"Everyone has it, Steward Qiu, you have too, I have been married into the palace for so long, and I haven't come to Zhuangzi to see it much, it's all up to you to take care of it, and you have worked hard."

As soon as Luo Qing's words fell, Liuxi understood, and stepped forward to give Steward Qiu a piece of silver.

Steward Qiu took the ingot of silver and thanked him repeatedly, and praised Yan Huai and Luo Qing for a while, and Luo Qing took advantage of the situation and said that he would not leave today, but would rest here, and let him take down the copper plate and distribute it.

That night, Luo Qing was in the house looking at the account book by candlelight, page by page, full of bad accounts.

"This is this year, and it gives him time to make fake accounts, this account book is still a mess, not to mention previous years, he really can't afford this position in charge."

"Fortunately, this Beiji Village is not a rich Zhuangzi, otherwise I am afraid that this account book will be a mess, and this mess will be even more difficult to clean up."

As she spoke, she reached out and pinched her shoulder and neck, and she was a little tired.

Seeing this, Hongmei hurriedly stepped forward and kneaded Luo Qing: "It's good to see that this account book is full of loopholes, if it is done very well, the princess will have to worry even more." ”

"Yes." Luo Qing quipped, "You're more open than I thought about now." ”

Hongmei grinned, looking very useful.

Luo Qing shook his head, and continued: "Speaking of which, if Steward Qiu is shrewd enough, this account book is very beautiful, and I can't see any problems, and I can only look at the fur when half a bowl of water jingles now." ”

Qingxing cut the wick with scissors, and the candle was much brighter again.

"The princess is the most intelligent, and she can learn to read the account book."

"You also have to learn to read the account book, you are the ones who have been following me, Liuxi sometimes can't manage it, and you can help him when the time comes, he has worked hard for this palace for many years."

Luo Qing said this sincerely, which was also what Yan Huai had said to her, and she also took it to heart.

"But you are also old, it is time to get married, I will also look at each other for you, you can also see if there is anyone you can look at, if there is, you can talk to me, and I will also match for you."

Qingxing lowered her head with a red face, Hongmei has always been bold, and she blushed with shame, but she still said angrily: "What did the princess say?" ”

"To be honest, I can't let you be wronged with me." Luo Qing tilted his head, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

But what Luo Qing didn't expect the most was that Qingxing, who had always been low-key and introverted, opened her mouth and asked: "Is what the princess said seriously?" ”

"Take it seriously." Luo Qing suddenly blessed her soul and said happily, "Qingxing is a favorite person?" If so, you can tell me yes, and I will speak for you. ”

Qingxing didn't deny it, just lowered her eyebrows, and said, "The slave doesn't want to force him, the slave wants to see it again, if it is...... When the time comes, the princess will have to be asked to make decisions for the slaves and maids. ”

"I'm happy that you have someone you like, you have always been steady, and you are used to doing things in a measured manner, I am very relieved."

Luo Qing really didn't expect Qingxing to be moved before Hongmei, but it is still unknown whether this is a happy event, but she really wants both of them to have a good home.

"When you get married, I will definitely give you a beautiful scenery."

"Even if I get married, I will stay in the palace to take care of the princess."

At this time, a maid washed. The foot water came, and Qingxing instructed someone to retreat and wash it herself. The foot water was brought to Luo Qing's feet.

Luo Qing is used to not letting people serve this, so he took off his shoes and soaked his feet in, but he was still worried about Qingxing.

Listening to Qingxing's words, she should be the person in the house, and this matter is easy to do.

The people in Prince Yi's house, not to mention the people who put it on the Zhuangzi, just say that the people in this house, Yan Huai has always been very strict in discipline, not to mention that all of them are good, and they can be regarded as passable when they are taken out.

She was relieved to think about it like this.

Early the next morning, Luo Qing didn't wait for Steward Qiu to get up from the four-legged mountain, he changed his clothes early, put on a long veil and hat, and went to the field with a group of people.

She didn't care about the inquiring eyes of the tenants along the way, but walked to a gazebo in the field and sat down, waiting for the family to come back and report what she had asked them to investigate yesterday.
