In the Shen family, everyone said that Shen Yu was different from others, she was generous, and she was also lenient to her subordinates.

Xie Changli didn't expect Shen Yu to say this, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Shen Yu calculated the accounts for a while, carefully memorized the numbers, closed the account book, and looked up to find that Xie Changli was still standing there.

She sighed lightly, "Butler Xie, you have a lot to do with Fuyunju, you should know what kind of person I am, I don't care about the cost of repairing the railing." It's just that I can call the shots of Fuyunju's account, but I can't do this Sheng family's account book. There is an old lady on it, and I am afraid that something will go wrong when I am a housekeeper for the first time. At the end of the month, the old lady asked for the account book to read, and if I found that the money was spent too much, I couldn't explain it. ”

Xie Changli nodded again and again, he just knew that Shen Yu was generous, so he would come to mention the railing.

He just wanted to say that he would either not repair it, but Shen Yu spoke again: "The railing naturally needs to be repaired, including many places in the house, what should be replaced, and what should be bought." However, if the money is spent in these places, it must be saved elsewhere. ”

Xie Changli stood in front of Shen Yu, sweating on his back.

The eldest young grandmother seems to be amiable, but no one can fathom her thoughts, and she is worthy of being a person who can play tricks with the eldest lady and turn the people in the two rooms around.

Shen Yu continued: "The money has to be spent on the blade, Steward Xie, what do you say?" ”

Xie Changli thought for a while, and quickly understood that Shen Yu was asking him for an account.

Shen Yu just took over the Sheng family's account book, and many places she didn't understand openly and secretly. And Xie Changli has been in the Sheng family for many years, and he is familiar with the expenses of the house and personal contacts.

Judging from the fact that he was in power alone, Xie Changli felt that Shen Yu had a city government in her chest, and she was kind and powerful to her subordinates, and Xie Changli admired and was in awe.

Xie Changli was deliberately close to Shen Yu in his heart, he lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The accounts of the two rooms are said to be separated, but in fact, many places are not clear. For example, the second room has its own kitchen, and the money for vegetables, but the firewood, rice, oil and salt are the accounts of the big house. There are also expenses for the small Buddha hall in the second room, and the sesame oil money for the temple every month, carriages and horses, and clothes are all accounts for the big house. ”

"The second aunt has a good calculation." Shen Yu said.

She ordered Hexiang to give Xie Changli the money, "Thank you for the housekeeper's mention, so I will know it in my heart." The railing by the lake in the back garden should have been repaired a long time ago, and the money was not enough to support it. ”

Xie Changli said yes, when he went out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head helplessly.

The accounts of the two rooms are not clear, and the eldest lady is such a stingy person, and she has not sorted out how much work she has wasted, and Shen Yu has only been in office for a few days and has to take care of it, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

The Sheng family's account book was thick and numerous, and the words were densely written, and Shen Yu felt a headache after reading it for a while.

The reason why she asked Xie Changli was because many fixed expenses were directly taken to the account office to get money, and the account clerk wrote down the accounts and handed them over, and when she saw it, the money had already been spent.

For emergencies such as repairing railings and holding banquets, the person in charge will come to Shen Yu to say.

After asking Xie Changli, Shen Yu purposefully flipped through the account book and said, "The second aunt's family is worthy of being in business, and the account she calculates only makes money and does not lose." This Buddha hall has to be overhauled once a month, and it is necessary to sculpt the golden body of this Bodhisattva and that Buddha at every turn, and the expenditure is a lot every month. ”

Hexiang said: "The second lady is taking care of the old lady, the old lady believes in Buddhism, that is, other places will be provincial, and they will not be saved in the Buddha hall, which is disrespectful to the Bodhisattva." ”

Shen Yu nodded, "It's okay to do anything else, the money for vegetables, cars and horses, the second room is spent, and there are also big houses compared to them, they can't make it to spend." The old lady didn't mind, it was because the big house business was big, and she didn't care. But this Buddha hall, to put it bluntly, is laundered by the second lady. ”

She put her hand on her arm, a little distracted, "I have to find an excuse to save this money." ”

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, and Qin Shaoxiang appeared in the courtyard in a blink of an eye.

He sniffed vigorously and said strangely, "Why is there a smell of tea in this yard?" Didn't see tea trees planted here? ”

After being reminded by Qin Shaoxiang, Shen Yu patted her head, and she remembered the tea leaves that had been fermented in the shade before.

Two days ago, there was a drizzling rain, very wet, and I don't know what happened to the tea.

Shen Yu has been busy with housekeeping in the past few days, and she actually forgot about such an important matter.

She walked out into the yard and lifted the cloth covering the tea leaves, and immediately a musty smell came out.

Qin Shaoxiang looked heartbroken, "It's really a tyrannical thing, such a good spring tea has been wasted like this, if it is handed over to the tea master, it must be a special tea." ”

Shen Yu glanced at Qin Shaoxiang, "Young Master Qin, please stay where you are cool, and when the second master comes back from the tea garden with a sample of tea, please hurry back to the provincial capital." The Shengjia Temple is small and can't accommodate your big Buddha. ”

"You're a man...... Don't misinterpret me, I'm just telling the truth. Qin Shaoxiang said, "You are not skilled yourself, you wasted this good tea, why did you sprinkle the fire on me?" ”

Shen Yu said: "My own tea, I don't dare to bother Young Master Qin." ”

The quantity of spring tea is not much, this tea was specially ordered by Sheng Yanqing to be sent back from the tea garden, a small pile, very precious.

Laifu and Hexiang were also a little distressed when they looked at it, and they stood aside and didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Yu said: "The time has not come, it is still the same, pile it up, sprinkle it with some water, and cover it with a cloth." ”

Qin Shaoxiang laughed heartily, "It's all like this, what are you still doing with these teas?" Don't worry, I'm not going out and talking nonsense. The eldest and youngest grandmother of the Sheng family, a pot of good tea is nothing, and it is nothing if you can't make tea. Hahaha......"

These days, Qin Shaoxiang is very embarrassed in front of Shen Yu, Shen Yu has the heart to rectify him, but she has never had a chance, seeing him like this, she suddenly had a plan.

Shen Yu stretched her brows and said with a faint smile: "You said that my tea is bad, so why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Bet? What to bet on? Qin Shaoxiang was very interested.

Shen Yu pointed to the tea leaves not far away, "Bet on whether I can turn waste into treasure and make these bad tea leaves into drinkable tea." ”

Qin Shaoxiang tapped his palm with a fan, "Bet on it, you will definitely lose anyway, let's talk about what the bet is." ”

Shen Yu said, "If I win, you can help me do something, within your ability, it just depends on whether you want to help." ”

Qin Shaoxiang nodded, "It's easy to say, then again, if you lose, you have to promise me a request." ”

He stared at Shen Yu's shoulder, thoughtful. He came to Qingshui Town this time, nominally to do business, but in fact to confirm whether Shen Yu was his sister who had been lost for many years.
