Chapter 109: The Three-Day Covenant
"Shizi asked me to give you the account book," the woman said softly, "It's nothing, I've been in charge of the accounts for so many years and I've worried a lot about the Hou Mansion, and I'm naturally happy that someone will replace me, I should have given the account book directly to you, but now the account books are piling up, and I don't know how to hand them over to you." ”
What does a mountain of ledgers have to do with handovers? Bai Jin flicked the broken hair in front of the amount and said: "Mr. is assigned by the prince to manage the accounts, I can trust Mr., the account books of the previous years only need to give the annual summary, and then attach the account books of the first two months." ”
The woman clasped her hands around her chest and said, "The account books of the Jingnan Hou Mansion are never counted as year-ends, and if the young lady wants to take over the account books, I am afraid that she has to start reading the account books from six years ago." ”
Bai Jin can see that this handover is not troublesome, the woman in front of her clearly doesn't want to give her the account book, does this person really think that he doesn't know how to manage the accounts? Which house actually has an account office that is not considered year-end? This is a matter of one year, and you still want to drag it out for the next year?
This is the bookkeeper that Wei Yan invited?
"Slush, let's go." Bai Qi shook his head and said.
People don't want her, you can't force it, right? Wei Yan is willing to build a new courtyard for her in the mansion, thinking that her status in the mansion is not ordinary, and she will be sued by her in front of Wei Yan at that time.
"Master, don't we want this account book?" Xue Shan shook her hand and said, now there is a young lady in the house, what does this account book look like in the hands of a maid?
"Don't be impatient," Bai Jin didn't panic at all, "The safest thing about this matter is to leave it to the prince." ”
In the final analysis, the affairs in the house are still what the prince said, Wei Yan opened his mouth to ask for the account book, it was much easier than her, and she had no reason to waste her tongue arguing with her.
Bai Jin had already taken a step back to save face for the gentleman, but before they had taken a few steps, a leisurely voice came from behind: "What young lady, it's just a peasant woman, I guess I haven't even seen the account book, and I still want to take care of the accounts?" Being able to marry into the Jingnan Hou Mansion is all her ancestors' accumulation of virtue, and now all of this depends on the Jingnan Hou Mansion. ”
This was a little ugly, Bai Jin's face darkened a little and said, "Slush, go and call all the little guys outside." ”
Xue Slush frowned slightly, she wanted to remind her master, although what Mr. said was ugly, you can't let the little guy beat people, right?
"I thought about it, since the prince said that he wanted to take care of the account book for me, then I don't want to brush off the meaning of the prince, I originally wanted the prince to ask for it in person, but now it seems that it doesn't have to be so troublesome," Bai Jin blew the dust on his nails and said, "If you let the prince come to get it in person, wouldn't it make me, a young lady, look very incompetent?" ”
Her voice was not loud but sounded with a hint of pressure, and somehow the slush and the woman suddenly felt the momentum of everyone's wife.
Bai Jin Yanran smiled and said: "So since Mr. wants me to finish reading the six-year account books and then hand them over, then I might as well be respectful, and I will move back and read the account books of the past six years one by one." ”
"The account book belongs to the account room, and the prince ordered the account book to leave the house for a maximum of three days." The woman said coldly, "How can you see these three days?" ”
Bai Jin had long known that she was making things difficult for herself, she stretched out three fingers and said, "Three days will be three days, and after three days, I will personally order these people to send them back." ”
"You ......" The woman was stunned, and wanted to use this to scare her away, but she didn't expect her to take it.
There is a whole stack of six-year ledgers, how can you read it in three days?
"If I can't finish reading it after three days, this account book will still be handed over to Mr. to manage." Bai Jin was not afraid at all, and said with a smile.
The woman thought for a while and nodded, "Go, give all the ledgers in the fourth row to the young lady." ”
"However," Bai Jin waited for the little maid to leave, "if I find any mistakes in the ledger, then the gentleman will ask his deceased son to explain." ”
The woman snorted lightly and said, "Young lady, please take care of yourself." ”
The amount of the ledger is much more than Xue Mud's thoughts, four or five small maids walked four or five times to move the account books of the past six years, piled up in the courtyard and like a hill, Bai Qi and Hongpaw looked at the mouth and did not close it for a long time, listening to the slush eyebrows fluttering and talking about how the young lady scolded the gentleman who had nothing to say.
"Why don't you go make tea, you little girl, don't tell them both about it." Bai Jin took the two earliest ledgers from the pile of hills and sat down on the soft road.
"Yes." Slush answered, Bai Jin asked Bai Qi and Hongjiao to boil the hot water, and went out to sweat a little, and it was a little uncomfortable not to take a bath.
calmed down his mood, and Bai Jin opened the first book and began to read it.
The account book of the Jingnan Hou Mansion recorded all the accounts in and out of the house, most of which were daily expenses, I remember that it was a little messy, Slush took the tea and looked at it and felt a little dizzy, and the words the size of a fly's head were densely memorized on the whole side.
"Master, how do you understand this?" Slush asked.
Bai Jin had already dialed the abacus and turned the page and said, "I just remember to be a little confused, and I am still somewhat organized." ”
She finally understood that the so-called gentleman dared to show her the ledger, because at her current rate, she would definitely not be able to read it in three days.
But even if she can't finish watching it, she has to watch it hard.
Bai Ji scooped up the hot water, Bai Jin took a bath, and then had dinner before gnawing on the complicated account books.
The weather was not very good in the next few days, and the summer in Jingnan was finally coming to an end, and the autumn rain began to fall.
Wei Yan leaned against the window, drinking the last batch of tea of the year sent by Nanshan: "Why haven't I seen Bai Jin come out and walk around these days." ”
Yun Luan held the plate in his hand and said, "It may be that the weather has been bad recently, the young lady went to the account room the day before yesterday and took back all my account books from six years ago." ”
Wei Yan rubbed the edge of the teacup and immediately thought of the reason and smiled: "It seems that Meng Ning didn't want to give her the account book, but dug a big hole for herself." ”
Yun Luan didn't know anything about the ledger, and Wei Yan originally wanted him to take care of it, but how he taught him just wouldn't plan to take care of it.
Pretty damn.
"For three days, the slave felt that the young lady couldn't finish reading those account books." Yun Luan said honestly, "If you really want to give the account book to the young lady, you should ask Mr. Meng directly." ”
"Really?" Wei Yan smiled and said, "Let's make a bet and use your half year's monthly silver to see if that Nizi can read the account book within three days?" ”
It's not like Yun Luan doesn't know how many ledgers there are? Is this the prince want to give him silver?
Nodding without thinking about it, Wei Yan got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the young lady's courtyard to have a look." ”
Yun Luan: "? "Why does he think that the prince is cheating on him?
