Chapter 55: Don't Be Afraid of Me (1)
Miss Gu's face turned slightly red, she lowered her head and said, "What is my sister talking nonsense." ”
Gu Qingxuan hooked her lips and smiled, "Big sister, I'll just say that, you can rest assured that it will be better." She raised her eyebrows, looked at Gu Sangongzi again, and said with a smile, "The third brother should also choose a sister-in-law for us." ”
Old Madam Gu shook her head gently, "The second girl is getting more and more naughty, okay, don't mess with your brother and sister, send me back." ”
Gu Qingxuan helped Mrs. Gu go back, and on the way, Mrs. Gu told her a lot of things.
The next day, Gu Qingxuan took the Gu family's carriage to the Chu Palace.
The housekeeper personally welcomed her into the door, and led her to the study of His Royal Highness the King of Chu with a smile.
"Second Miss, Your Highness has instructed you to sort out the account books in his study." The housekeeper said with a smile, "There is no council room in the mansion, so I can only let the second lady here." ”
Gu Qingxuan twisted her brows and asked her to work on the bookcase of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, she didn't have the courage to do so, she didn't dare to overstep the rules.
The housekeeper quickly sent over the account books of the Chu Wangfu for this year.
"Second Miss, this is the account book of the palace for the past two years. You see what's wrong, you point it out, and I'll change it later. The butler whispered.
Gu Qingxuan pursed her lips, "Butler, you're too polite, I'll just take a look." If there is something I don't understand, I will ask you for advice. "She's chasing ducks to the shelves, there's no way.
The housekeeper nodded slightly, "Miss, you're busy, I'll ask someone to bring you some tea and pastries." He smiled and turned away.
After a while, a mother-in-law brought a pot of tea and a plate of pastries.
Gu Qingxuan picked out one of the earliest account books and looked at it, the housekeeper actually remembered it in detail, whether it was expenses or income, it was very clear. She flipped through a book and found a situation as well. His Royal Highness the King of Chu really doesn't have much contact with people, and there is no record of giving congratulatory gifts or birthday gifts in this account book.
There have always been rumors in the capital, and it is rumored that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is noble and indifferent, and he basically does not have dealings with others except for being cautious and cautious with Lord Pei.
Now that I look at it, this rumor doesn't seem to be groundless.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is already extremely noble, if the princely family wants to invite him, he will not usually go, and as for the congratulatory gifts to be given, they are probably sent by the strange Lord Pei.
Gu Qingxuan smiled lightly, in this way, there are not many mundane affairs in the Chu Palace, and it is much less than their Gu family.
When His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned home, he heard the housekeeper talk about this matter, and he gently pushed the door in, only to see the little girl seriously flipping through the account book on her lap, and she didn't notice him coming in at all.
He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Why don't you sit in front of the bookcase and look at these books?" His brow furrowed slightly, "Didn't the butler tell you?" ”
Gu Qingxuan hurriedly shook her head, "It's not the housekeeper's problem, it's that I don't dare, it's good for me to do it here." Her voice was low, and she quickly stood up and saluted.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu frowned even deeper, "Why don't you dare, this table is meant to be used, aren't you tired of looking at the account books like this?" ”
Gu Qingxuan bit her lip and said in a low voice, "But that bookcase is used by His Highness, it wouldn't be good if I didn't mess it up." She timidly raised her eyes to meet his.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu hooked his lips and smiled, "Then sit opposite." The bookcase is so big, it's enough for two people, go ahead, go to the bookcase and look at the account book. ”
