After Turnip finished speaking, Su Ruanmei handed the dishes and chopsticks to Turnip's hand, and asked her to clip whatever she liked to eat, and after thinking for a while, Turnip took the dishes and chopsticks and nodded with a smile.

"Sister Su, the food you cook is so delicious."

Turnip sandwiched some greens and tofu, meat dishes did not dare to ask for luxury, Su Ruanmei saw her so formal, so she gave her the chicken leg again, and the turnip got the chicken leg and was very grateful.

Turnip accompanied Su Ruanmei to finish dinner, Su Ruanmei was a little sleepy, Turnip asked the maid Xiaohong to take Su Ruanmei to rest, and she herself sat at the table to eat on the grounds of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

King Zheng had actually returned to Zhuangzi a long time ago, but he deliberately avoided Su Ruanmei, Su Ruanmei went back to the West Chamber to rest, and King Zheng came to the front of the hall.

"You greedy girl, is Miss Su's food made for you?"

Turnip turned around with the chicken leg and saw King Zheng looking at her with a serious face.

"His Royal Highness King Zheng, aren't you not coming back today?"

After Turnip finished speaking, she put down the chicken leg and stood aside.

King Zheng saw that Turnip lowered her head and did not speak, so he walked to the table again.

"Go, bring another pair of dishes and chopsticks to this king."

After King Zheng finished speaking, Turnip walked to the door and told the maids outside to be diligent.

The maid brought the dishes and chopsticks, and King Zheng ate the food on the table, but the turnip was a little puzzled.

"His Royal Highness King Zheng, since you have come back a long time ago, why don't you dine with Miss Su. She waited an afternoon to prepare this meal for you, and she waited a long time in the evening. ”

After the turnip finished speaking, King Zheng gave her a blank look.

"You'd better not intervene in the matter of this king and Miss Su."

After King Zheng finished speaking, he picked up another tea egg, and Turnip came over and pinched King Zheng's shoulder.

"Isn't this also concerned about you and Sister Su, Sister Su is a good woman, Lord Wang, don't let down Sister Su's heart for you."

King Zheng took a bite of the tea egg and his face was happy.

"It's so fragrant, do you want to have some too."

Seeing that King Zheng was joking with her, Turnip patted King Zheng on the shoulder.

"I don't want it, I've already eaten a lot in the morning."

King Zheng saw that Turnip was a little angry, so he took her into his arms.

"You girl, if it weren't for the guilty body, this king wouldn't mind accepting you as a side room, you have served this king for so many years, and you don't know the temper of this king, although this Su girl is the love of this king, and has the flesh and blood of this king, but this king can't always be so proud and spoil her, first cold her for a while, and when she thinks clearly who is the person she needs the most, then this king will naturally meet her."

When King Zheng said this, Turnip nodded slightly, and then Turnip added a few glasses of wine to King Zheng.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Ruanmei got up from the bed, and Wujing still stood at the head of the bed with three maids, waiting for Su Ruanmei to wash and change.

After breakfast, Wujing called several people in charge of the Zhuangzi to the courtyard and got to know Su Ruanmei one by one.

"Miss Su, this is Mr. Ma in charge of the bookkeeper, the expenses in the Zhuangzi must be counted through his nod, if you want to buy something or spend silver, you just need to inform him."

After the turnip finished speaking, Mr. Ma made a hand to Su Ruanmei.

Su Ruanmei saw that Mr. Ma was wearing a small round hat and a black coat, and he was not smiling, so she thought that he was undoubtedly a peer.

After introducing Mr. Ma, Mr. Turnip walked in front of a bald head with fat head and big ears, the bald head was wearing an apron, and his hands were still stained with grease, which should be the chef in Zhuangzi.

"This is the chef in charge of food in Zhuangzi, named Liu Yishou, although it is not as good as the imperial chef in the palace, but it is also hired by the prince from Tongzhou for a lot of money, if Miss Su likes to eat famous dishes in the south of the Yangtze River, you can find Master Liu."

After the turnip finished speaking, the bald head nodded respectfully to Su Ruanmei

"This is Yu Weng who is in charge of the warehouse in Zhuangzi, this is in charge of the cattle purchased in Zhuangzi, and this is Aunt Zhao who is in charge of the people in Zhuangzi."

Turnip introduced a large number of people in one breath, and Su Ruanmei also wrote down these people one by one, and she had to bother them in the future.

"You all listen to me, Miss Su is His Royal Highness King Zheng's favorite woman, and she is also the mistress of this villa, if he has something to tell in the future, you all have to do your best to do it, if anyone neglects Miss Su, His Royal Highness King Zheng and I can't spare him, do you understand?"

After the turnip finished speaking, all the stewards bowed their heads and said yes.

"Miss Su, these are the old people in the Zhuangzi, and they are also the most trusted stewards of His Royal Highness King Zheng, and they will be sent by you in the future, as for the stewards outside the Zhuangzi, the slaves and maids will have time to introduce them to you one by one."

Turnip said this, and did a squat to Su Ruanmei.

Seeing that Su Ruanmei had already known the stewards, she waved her hand at the stewards again, and the other stewards retreated one by one, but Mr. Bookkeeper was left by Su Ruanmei.

"Mr. Ma, I want to see the account books in Zhuangzi, I don't know if it's convenient for you to help me sort it out."

As soon as Su Ruanmei's words fell, Mr. Ma twisted his beard, and Mr. Ma was very puzzled by Su Ruanmei's move.

"Mr. Ma, don't be surprised, I just want to know about the daily expenses and expenses in the Zhuangzi, after all, His Royal Highness King Zheng handed over this Zhuangzi to me, and I am also obliged to help him take care of it."

When Su Ruanmei said this, Mr. Ma nodded slightly.

Then Su Ruanmei followed Mr. Ma to the account room in the north, and on the cabinet of the account room, the accounts of Zhuangzi for nearly 15 years since its completion were neatly stacked.

"These are just the approximate expenses of each year, and the running account is placed in the side hall, if Miss Su is interested, you can go down to the side hall to check."

Mr. Ma said that this time he raised his hand to Su Ruanmei, and Su Ruanmei casually took out an account book on the side of the cabinet, which read the income and expenditure year of Yunxiu Villa in the third year of Zhengxing.

Su Ruanmei carefully read the above content, and found that this Zhuangzi was completely losing money, and the expenses in a year were also hundreds of thousands.

"Mr. Ma, why is this Zhuangzi burning money so much."

When Su Ruanmei said this, Mr. Ma bowed back.

"Miss Su, don't you know, this Zhuangzi has no income at all, and the annual expenses are mainly used for the maintenance and repair of the Zhuangzi, the prince is interested from time to time, to add a few pavilions and ponds, these are very expensive, and there are so many people's wages, as well as the benefits of the New Year's holidays, the annual expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the eyes of the rich in Zhongzhou, in fact, is nothing at all."

After Mr. Ma finished speaking, Su Ruanmei wanted to take a look at the flow account in recent months.

Mr. Ma opened the room in the side hall and saw that it was full of ledgers.

Mr. Ma took out a stack of ledgers placed at the door and handed them to Su Ruanmei. 166 Reading Network
