"Huh?" Li Hu's eyes glared angrily, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes looked like he was eager to eat people, and the little two didn't last long before he coaxed, beads of sweat kept rolling on his forehead, and he stammered: "In... below. ”

Li Shi hurriedly stepped forward, followed Xiao Er's gaze, found an account book from the cabinet under the counter, and sent it to Lu Yue, "Miss, I found it." ”

Lu Yue touched the account book, flipped through it, and saw that it was all white and black, and suddenly a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she took the account book and left with Lu'er and Li Hu brothers.

The little second sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul, his face was pale, and he whispered: "It's over." ”

Lu Yue went out, and took a few people to other rice shops to take a turn, carefully grinding the rice in his hands, but found a lot of problems.

Sure enough, there is a cat greasy, the rice of their rice line is actually different from other rice shops, it seems that their rice is white from a distance compared to the rice of other rice lines, but it is overshadowed when you catch it up close.

Lu Yue returned to the Lu Mansion with the questions in her heart, she was thinking about whether she couldn't read this ancient account book, and she had to find someone to help her look at it, but her father was still sick.

Just as he was thinking about seeing a familiar figure, "Fu Bo~" Lu Yue opened his mouth and shouted.

Fu Bo's body was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Lu Yue, and said with a smile: "The princess is back?" ”

Lu Yue nodded, opened her mouth and asked, "Fu Bo, do you know who in our house will read the account book?" ”

Fu Bo's expression was obviously stunned, "I don't know what happened to the princess?" I'll just look at it. ”

Lu Yue immediately happily pulled Fu Bo and said as she walked: "Then ask Fu Bo to help me take a look at this account book." ”

Fu Bo was dragged into the study by Lu Yue, she took out an account book from her arms and handed it to Fu Bo, Fu Bo was stunned for a moment, and quickly reached out to take it.

He turned around and sat down in his chair, flipped it a few times, and said with surprise in his eyes: "This is the account book of Degui Mixing?" How did the princess get it? ”

Lu Yue hooked the corners of her mouth, "I got it openly~"

Fu Bo looked at Lu Yue's eyes with a meaningful smile, and immediately guessed a few points.

"Is there any reason for this book?" Lu Yue asked curiously.

Fu Bo sighed, "This account book Shopkeeper Li didn't send it over last time, and this master has asked several times." ”

Lu Yue suddenly understood in her heart, stopped asking, and quietly waited for Fu Bo to check it.

Lu Yue knew that the account book would not be finished for a while, so she walked out and asked Lu'er to prepare some snacks and hot tea for Fu Bo, but she called Li Hu.

She took out a handkerchief from her arms, opened it and saw a small handful of rice wrapped in it, Lu Yue signaled Li Hu to see it clearly, then wrapped the rice again and handed it to Li Hu.

"Go and check, it's rice." Lu Yue said in a deep voice.

"Yes~" Li Hu bowed and retreated.

After Li Hu left, Lu Yue touched his chin, the shopkeeper in this rice shop is lazy and unruly, and the store manager is not there, so it is no wonder that such a rice shop will lose money.

Throughout the afternoon, Fu Bo sat on the side to write notes, and Lu Yue sat next to him drinking tea, and from time to time he encountered a question that he couldn't understand, so he asked Fu Bo.

It was getting late, so Lu Yue ordered someone to bring the food, and looked at Fu Bo, who was still immersed in the account book, and said loudly: "Fu Bo, stop for a while, eat and rest for a while." ”

Only then did Fauber stop and said with a gloomy face: "These people are bold. ”

Lu Yue was stunned when she heard this, "What's wrong?" She hurriedly walked over.

I saw Fu Bo pointing to one of them and said: "Miss, the accounts here are not right, you see, five thousand taels of silver were written out of here, and the total amount of money that has to be entered here is only three thousand taels, and the accounts stored here are not right." ”

Lu Yue looked at the date, the fifth day of the third month, wasn't that last month? It was only about a month, and Lu Yue checked it carefully again, and bought multigrain grains.

She immediately felt a little strange, this is not to be planted in autumn, why is the price of this grain so expensive? She and Fauber had another discussion.

Lu Yue learned from Fu Bo that the purchase price of this year's grain was more than double the price he knew last year.

Lu'er's food was about to be cold, so she stepped forward and reminded, "Miss, it's time to eat." ”

Lu Yue listened to what Fu Bo said, she pulled Fu Bo and was about to sit on the chair, Fu Bo refused, no matter how good the old lady was to him, there are some things that people at this moment can't forget.

So Lu Yue had no choice but to ask Lu'er to bring the food over and put it on the desk for Fu Bo to eat, and go to the flower hall next to it to eat.

While eating, I saw Li Hu walking in and asking Lu Yue for peace.

Lu Yue stopped her chopsticks and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

"If you go back to the princess, this should be brown rice from Jiangbei." Li Hu said in a deep voice.

"Brown rice?" Lu Yue wondered.

"Brown rice is a kind of rice unique to Jiangbei, that is, the third-class rice that grows on the barren land, which is not in good condition and tastes bad." Li Hu said and took out two handkerchiefs from his arms.

Lu Yue stretched out her hand to open it, only to see that the two handkerchiefs were wrapped in two different kinds of rice, this white-looking rice should have been brought back by her from Degui Rice Shop, and the other kind of rice, yellow, was a little inedible to look at.

"This is brown rice?" Lu Yue asked, pointing to the yellow rice.

Li Hu nodded, and Lu Yue immediately touched the two kinds of rice, feeling that except for their different colors, the other size particles were similar.

Lu Yue knocked on the table and continued to ask, "How did you find out?" ”

"Back to the princess, I specifically looked for a farmer who is familiar with rice seeds, according to them, there are many rice banks to make more money, use herbs to change the color of rice, shoddy." Li Hu replied.

Lu Yue's eyes were shocked, someone dared to act like this, she slapped the table heavily in anger, "Bastard~"

And it was still their rice shop, she raised her eyes and said, "Did you bring the dealer back?" ”

"Back to the princess, I brought it back." Li Hu replied.

Lu Yue's face was slightly happy, and said, "You did a good job~"

Li Hu lowered his eyes and bluntly said that this should be done, but there was a look of joy between his eyebrows.

Lu Yue smiled, touching her chin and thinking about tomorrow.

"You go down and rest first." Lu Yue said to Li Hu.

"Yes~" Li Hu retreated.

After Li Hu retreated, Lu Yue took a big bite of rice, and ate a lot of rice on her mouth, and the appearance of gobbling up made Lu'er frown in her heart: It seems that Miss is really hungry.

After Lu Yue finished eating in a few bites, Lu'er saw that Lu Yue had just eaten a bowl of white rice, and she hadn't eaten much of this dish, and her face was surprised and she wanted to ask Lu Yue if the food was unappetizing?

I saw Lu Yue waving her hand, "Lu'er, you let people withdraw the food, I won't eat it." ”

Lu'er didn't have time to open her mouth to call people, Lu Yue had already stepped out of the flower hall in a few steps, and she couldn't even see a shadow.

As soon as Lu Yue entered the study, she asked Fu Bo, "Fu Bo, what was the process of holding regular meetings of business banks in the past?" ”

Fu Bo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Miss, this has to be handed over first, and there must be the master's seal to stamp this post." ”

"Huh? In other words, it has to be stamped to be a post, right? ”

Fauber nodded, "Yes, otherwise the shopkeepers of those trading houses may not have come, because they only recognize the seal." He observed Lu Yue's expression again, and saw that Lu Yue's face was not very good, and thought that he was worried about this matter, so he took the initiative to comfort him: "Miss, don't worry, or I will go and intercede with the master." ”

As soon as his words fell, Lu Yue took out a piece of jade from his arms and took it to Fu Bo to show it.

The little eyes were proud, and Fu Bo held it in surprise, "The old man gave you all this seal?" ”

Lu Yue nodded violently, "That's right~"

Fu Bo touched a few handfuls, and brought Lu Yue forward very satisfied, but he didn't expect the master to love Lu Yue so much, and even gave Lu Yue such an important thing.

"Then who does Dad usually send to deliver letters to them?"

Fu Bo was a little puzzled and said, "It's just from some of the little people in the house."

In a blink of an eye, Lu Yue walked to the table and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Fu Bo to write a few posts." ”

"Okay~" Fauber happily agreed.

The candles in the study burned for half the night, until the night was darker and more exposed.

On the second day, Lu Yue woke up from her sleep with a burst of chirping birds, and when she thought of something today, she told Lu'er to groom herself.

By the hour of the hour, there were already a lot of people sitting in the flower hall on the east side of the Lu Mansion, and Lu'er came back early to report to Lu Yue, "There are already a lot of people sitting in the Miss Flower Hall, and the slaves and maids have probably counted, and now there are almost a dozen people, does Miss want to go over now?" ”

Lu Yue shook her head, "No~" said and slowly poured herself a cup of tea.

"Give me good tea and snacks, and serve them well."

"Yes~" Lu'er nodded, although she didn't understand why Miss did this, but she believed that Miss must have done it for a reason.

At first, the shopkeepers in the flower hall sat peacefully, drinking a small tea and eating snacks, but after waiting for a meal, not to mention the figure, not even a ghost shadow was gone.

Everyone suddenly turned dry, and the first person sitting in the first position on the left was Lu Yue's cousin Li Fugui, who immediately put down the teacup heavily and snorted inexplicably.

A tall and thin man next to him, the whole person was a thick hemp pole Yes, his eyebrows were slanted, and his neck was full of moles covered in summer, this person was Lu Yue's father's cousin, he approached Li Fugui and said, "Hey, didn't you say that Master Lu was sick?" How can you still toss so much? ”

Li Fugui sneered unhappily, hanging a pair of triangular eyes and slanting at the person, to say that the rest of the face looks inconspicuous, then this pair destroys the softness and mediocrity of the face, and it is not simple at all at first glance.

Lu Yue observed these people carefully in the dark, and also took Fu Bo to the flower hall to secretly recognize some faces, and wrote down the names of these people and the trading houses they ran one by one.

Until he saw Li Hu come back, he curled the corners of his mouth towards Lu Yue, and Lu Yue stepped forward, "Is everything going well?" ”

When Li Hu arrived, Lu Yue patted Li Hu's shoulder happily, and her eyes seemed to be appreciative.

Lu Yue looked at the cloud board in the room and said to Lu'er and Li Hu: "Okay, it's almost time, let's go in." She stepped out in a few steps, and the two brothers Lu'er and Li Hu hurriedly followed.
