Chapter 482: Ledger
"Sister has anything else to say?"
Seeing Bai Ling'er take a step, Xiao Changge asked lightly.
She looked at the ledger reluctantly and laughed dryly.
"No, it's just that my sister is recovering from a serious illness, so she shouldn't work too hard."
Bai Ling'er whispered, and Xiao Changge chuckled.
Bai Ling'er's expression was reflected in her clear eyes, and her eyes were slightly cold.
"Thank you sister for your concern, but you have to calculate the account book yourself to feel at ease."
Stretched out his hand and stroked the account book that Zhu Er was holding in his hand, and the meaning of the words made Bai Ling'er feel empty.
Those eyes pierced her heart and made her panic.
It's as if she can see what people want clearly, so she has to avoid it.
"But my sister is right, this palace disease is just not suitable for work, and you will be responsible for the trivial matters in the house in the future."
"Trivial?"
Bai Ling'er's heart moved, and she hurriedly asked.
"Yes, for example, the flowers and plants in the yard need to be pruned every month......
Xiao Changge observed Bai Ling'er's face, and saw that her face was pale, and she was in a good mood.
"I'm going to bother my sister."
Even if she didn't finish speaking, according to Bai Ling'er's intelligence, she should be able to guess what the trivial things she said were, which were nothing more than the construction of flowers and plants in the house, and the addition of things that people needed.
Bai Ling'er clenched her hands, although she was unwilling, she didn't dare to show it.
Xiao Changge's eyes were like a mirror, reflecting her, and her every move fell into Xiao Changge's eyes.
"It's my sister's honor to be able to share it for my sister, and my sister must do it properly for my sister."
Bai Ling'er was stunned and said, she knew that Xiao Changge took her as a concubine because of Chu Yu, and she must not be able to tolerate her in her heart, so she had to do a good job of making Xiao Changge seamless.
"That's very good."
Xiao Changge nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Bai Ling'er.
"Sister, these account books haven't been counted for several days, and the number is a bit big, I heard that my sister didn't touch these when she was in Xiao Mansion, if my sister doesn't understand something, my sister can help my sister take a look."
Bai Ling'er was still reluctant to take those account books, and she was reluctant to even look away.
She originally wanted to take advantage of Xiao Changge's coma to settle the accounts, but when Xiao Changge took over, she couldn't understand it, she didn't expect Xiao Changge to wake up so quickly.
Red Sleeves glanced at Xiao Changge worriedly, and after Bai Ling'er reminded her like this, she remembered that although her young lady was literate, she didn't know much, let alone the account book, she hadn't touched it at all.
If you make a mistake in this account, you have to recalculate it, and it will be troublesome.
Red Sleeves just wanted to defend Xiao Changge, but he didn't think that Xiao Changge would speak first.
"Bengong didn't touch the account book when he was in Xiao Mansion, but he was quite familiar with how to settle accounts."
Bai Ling'er's heart jumped when she heard it some time ago, and the turning point behind made her fall to the bottom.
Xiao Changge's words were a pun.
"The accounts must be positive and negative to be even. If it's more negative and less positive, then it's not fair, sister, do you say yes? ”
Xiao Changge approached Bai Ling'er, Bai Ling'er took a step back with a weak heart, but fortunately Shuang'er was behind him so that he would not fall.
"It's... That's the truth. ”
"What would my sister do if it wasn't usual?"
Xiao Changge's words were threatening, Bai Ling'er stared at those eyes, her throat seemed to be stuck by something, and she couldn't speak.
"You've been with your wife for a long time, you come."
Xiao Changge looked up at Shuang'er, and Shuang'er answered honestly although she was afraid.
"Need... You need to find out the reason first, if you don't keep it even... It is necessary to find a way to erase the positive and negative, otherwise it will not be settled. ”
Shuang'er's voice became smaller and quieter the more she spoke, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Changge when she lowered her head.
Xiao Changge was very satisfied with this answer, nodded, and his gaze fell back to Bai Ling'er.
"You girl is really rich and knows all this, it can be seen that my sister teaches well on weekdays, that's how it is."
Xiao Changge's praise has another meaning to others.
"You have just entered the prince's mansion and you can be forgiven if you don't understand this palace, but don't get too far into it, it should be your palace that doesn't want you at all, but if you can't touch it at all, the palace has already made it clear, as for you to know it, it's your business."
Xiao Changge said coldly, his face with scars changed, making people feel gloomy.
Dare to say this so boldly in front of everyone, Xiao Changge is the first, if she would pay attention, but she is arrogant.
Bai Ling'er was so frightened by Xiao Changge's words that she couldn't move, especially when that face was close to her, she felt even more scared.
How could such a person be Xiao Yongde's daughter and the daughter of the Xiao family?
How is she worthy?
In the air, the Redsleeves were careful to breathe.
Those who have been serving by Xiao Changge's side for a long time know that Xiao Changge is rarely angry, but if he gets angry, no one can stop him.
Red Sleeves and Xiao Changge grew up together, she knew that Xiao Changge was angry before she gave Bai Ling'er a dismissal, and the root of her anger should be......
It was indeed too much for Chu Yu to release Shuang'er without Xiao Changge's permission, as if he was provoking her young lady and slapping her in the face.
"The ledger hasn't been counted for a few days, don't waste time, go, go back to the East Courtyard."
Xiao Changge held his head high, stopped as soon as he stepped on the doorrail with one foot, turned his head to look at the frightened Bai Ling'er, and Shuang'er was still supporting her, afraid that she would fall.
"By the way, the cabbage on the second page of this account book should be two or five silver."
Bai Ling'er was dumbfounded and said in disbelief: "Impossible, I calculated according to the account, how could I make a mistake?" ”
Only this one she couldn't be wrong, she was right several times for fear of making mistakes.
"The price of cabbage is two cents a catty, and the account is written at five cents."
Xiao Changge said slowly, and Bai Ling'er frowned.
"My sister said that there is no evidence for Sanwen, just with a mouth, my sister will say it."
"My sister doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask, although these seem to be small, but if they accumulate over time, it is a large amount, autumn and winter, who is responsible for the dishes that come in this house every day? Find out that person, and then call Steward Xu. ”
Xiao Changge didn't look at Bai Ling'er anymore, and turned his head to look at Qiu Dong.
Qiu Dong hurriedly handed the account book in his hand to Chun Xia, and ran out in response.
There are too many problems in this ledger, and the people in the house take advantage of their ignorance of the price of vegetables to deliberately raise the price, and I don't know how many such people are in the house.
It just so happened that a wave of maids who protected Bai Ling'er were cleared before, and now it's time to clear a wave of housekeepers who eat inside and outside.
If it's a small amount, she doesn't care about it, but this amount is not small, it is twice the original price of cabbage, she didn't look closely, I don't know how much oil and water was stolen here.
The steward was in charge of the affairs of the house, and five pieces of silver was a small amount for him, but he didn't know that it was a large amount for an ordinary person, so they thought it was cheap.
Xiao Changge stepped out of the gate and walked towards the east courtyard, looking at her back as she left, Bai Ling'er snorted coldly, but her hand stroked her chest and gasped, her hand was still shaking.
"Second Madam, are you alright?"
Shuang'er was afraid to ask, Bai Ling'er shook off Shuang'er's hand and glared at her angrily.
"Useless waste, who does she Xiao Changge really think she is? The prince married her just because of her identity, and the prince loves me the most. ”
As if to prove something, Bai Ling'er clenched her shoulders out of nowhere, and her handsome face was full of hideousness and terrifying.
Shuang'er frowned, so painful that she wanted to shout but couldn't.
"You hurry up and find out, what is the price of cabbage, if it's really five dollars, I will definitely slap her in the face in front of everyone!"
As if she remembered something, Bai Ling'er shook off her shuang'er and shouted at her.
Shuang'er looked at Bai Ling'er's irritable appearance, covered her shoulders and walked out.
The maids waiting outside the house saw Shuang'er's embarrassed appearance and probed to see what was going on in the house, and the door was slammed shut, and the surroundings shook, frightening everyone.
Since entering the palace, Bai Linger's temper has become more and more irritable, as if... It seems to have a feeling of unease.
Shuang'er didn't dare to offend, so he had to listen to Bai Ling'er's words and go to the street to investigate.
Steward Xu heard that Xiao Changge was looking for it, and hurriedly left what he was doing and went to the east courtyard, but saw the housekeeper in charge of the daily fish and vegetables kneeling on the ground, Xiao Changge was sitting on the stone chair, leaning against the round table, with his legs crossed, and the four maids were guarding the door.
Although this appearance is indecent, no one cares about it.
"Princess, what is this?"
Steward Xu didn't know the situation, but seeing the serious atmosphere, he knew that something was wrong.
"Steward Xu came just in time, you can take a look at this first."
Xiao Changge handed the account book and the price of fish, vegetables and meat she had just listed to Steward Xu, Steward Xu was not an antique, so it was clear what was going on.
"These people have too much appetite."
Xiao Changge sneered, she glanced at what was recorded in the account book, which was basically more than double the original price, and the money for at least one mansion in the past few years was calculated, and these families were really powerful.
"It's... Niu Er, Liu You, what the hell is going on! ”
With a bang, the ledger slammed on the stone table and said angrily.
These two people were introduced by the old family in the house, so he believed them, and let them be responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the house, and he didn't want to live up to his expectations, he saw that the two of them were honest on weekdays, and they didn't want to do this behind their backs.
After being drunk like this, the two shrunk their necks like turtles, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and the backs of their palms and hands were sweaty.
It's not that they're afraid of Xu Fu, they don't have anything to say even if the matter is exposed, but they don't know how Xiao Changge, a deep girl, knows the price of firewood, rice, oil, salt, fish and meat dishes? The things and prices she read just now were close to the market price.
They also wander around the market every day to know the price, how did Xiao Changge know?
Red Sleeves glanced at Xiao Changge, and admired her very much.
In the past, he used to tighten his belt to live in Xiao Mansion, and everything he bought was through Xiao Changge's hands, and when he chattered, he would inadvertently talk about the price of fish, vegetables and meat, but he didn't think that Xiao Changge remembered it clearly.
Although prices will rise, it is impossible to rise so much at once, and these people are unlucky enough to meet her young lady.
Other people don't pay attention to these at all, but they are different, they are afraid of being poor and hungry, and they can remember clearly where they spent and how much they spent.
Zhu Er also admired Xiao Changge's ability to keep these small things in her mind that even others didn't care about, if she didn't find any problems.
"Steward Xu, it's our ghost."
The two of them held back these words for a long time, they were ashamed of their trust in Xu Fu, but after tasting the sweetness once, they couldn't take it, and they were even more bold before they found out the second time, and they wanted to make enough money to quit their jobs and go back to the countryside to build a house to marry a daughter-in-law, and they didn't want to plant it in the hands of this newly started princess.
