These people are all coming to the Shizi's Mansion today, ready to listen to the Shizi and Fuqin according to the rules, and preach the instructions on the matters that need to be paid attention to and what new changes are made at the beginning of each year.

But this year is different, as soon as these stewards enter the door. I didn't see Fuqin or Shiziye, but I saw such a woman, and Steward Hao sitting in the main hall of Shizi's Mansion.

So they could only stand stupidly one by one, waiting for the people above to speak first. Especially Steward Hao was all present to accompany the station, so these stewards everywhere naturally did not dare to sit down at will.

Xi Ningyu looked at the account for more than an hour, and the toad and Qingqiong beside him were still standing beside Xi Ningyu, not moving a step for fear of disturbing Xi Ningyu.

Finally, I saw Xi Ningyu put down an account book, but I saw her pick up another one and slowly flip through it.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little depressing, and since no one dared to speak here, let alone ask questions that could not be patient, the hall was extremely quiet.

Almost an hour passed, Xi Ningyu read three or four account books one after another, and everyone present looked at Xi Ningyu. At the same time, I thought to myself, you read it so fast, are you turning the sky upside down, can you understand it?

But they didn't know that the accounts they wrote were really not difficult in Xi Ningyu's eyes. After all, at this time, they didn't know any Arabic numerals, what arithmetic and mathematical knowledge.

The things written with a thick brush, Xi Ningyu can calculate a rough idea in his mind while reading ten lines at a glance. This is because Xi Ningyu's science is really not very good, otherwise, the calculation method of this era is really not interesting.

From the morning to now, more than two hours have passed, Xi Ningyu has a clear understanding of the account books in front of him, as well as the cash receipts and expenditures recorded in various parts of the Shizi Mansion in the past three years.

So he raised his head, Xi Ningyu asked Steward Hao, "Who are these people, why did they stand in the room without saying a word?" โ€

Seeing Xi Ningyu's question, Steward Hao hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Madam, these are all the managers of the Zhuangzi scattered in our house, the fields and shops, that is, the stewards of various places. Today, according to the rules, I came to listen to our lord, and Mr. Fuqin's orders at the beginning of each year, but......

But as the master said, in the future, all this matter will be handled by you, so now it depends on how you are going to tell it! After saying that, Steward Hao raised his head and turned to look at the various stewards who were standing.

"Everyone understands, this is the hostess in our prince's mansion. The future princess is the prince of the county who personally asks His Majesty for the will to marry. From now on, the affairs of the palace, the big and small affairs, the internal and external silver accounts, are all in charge of the princess. Come and see each other, one by one there are no rules! โ€

After Steward Hao finished speaking, he walked down and led the stewards present to kneel down, and was about to kowtow to Xi Ningyu.

This made Xi Ningyu very impatient, so without waiting for these people to kneel, he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, don't come to this." I'm not dead yet, so I'll see that I don't need this set of rules in the future, just say hello. When I die, if you have the heart, go to my grave and knock me a few!" After speaking, she waved her hand to let Steward Hao, who had already knelt down, hurry up, what she was most annoying was who to kowtow to, and who she hated to kowtow to!

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Xi Ningyu's words made the stewards present break out in a cold sweat, and the heart was really the person that the prince of the world fancied, what he said was really enough. Sure enough, it's not a family, don't enter a door!

Wait for Steward Hao to get up, and then say to the steward present: "Although our princess has not passed the door yet, but the prince has explained, if there is that one who does not open his eyes and is angry and makes our princess unhappy, then he will wipe his neck happily, if he waits for the trouble to the master, the master will say it." Death will not make the person who offends the princess of the world feel comfortable to die! Do you get it? "It's really capable of being a fox and a fake tiger, every word has never left Ling Xuanyi's name, this is taking Ling Xuanyi to crush people to death!

However, she Xi Ningyu will not bully people in the name of Ling Xuanyi, she just wants to bully, and Xi Ningyu also relies on her own ability to bully people!

Seeing that Steward Hao finally finished explaining the nonsense, Xi Ningyu looked at the sky and it was not too early. So he didn't plan to waste time, "Okay, Steward Hao's words can be listened to, the prince is not so domineering, and I am not so easy to be bullied!"

Let's get down to business, it is said that I shouldn't be in charge of the affairs of the Shizi Mansion, but your grandfather is a shameless person, so I was also forced to come to have a lot of trouble! โ€

didn't say anything else, and first dug a pit for Ling Xuanyi in a few words and buried it, even with losses. didn't let Ling Xuanyi have a good reputation, and after saying these few words, it scared the people in charge present into a cold sweat.

But they all understood in their hearts, those who dared to scold the prince in public like this are probably really the ones who have entered the heart of the prince, otherwise who would have the courage to do this!

"I also looked through the account book just now, I want to ask, which of you is in charge of the 'Spring and Autumn Tower' in the imperial capital?" As soon as Xi Ningyu turned her head, she got down to business. This hand caught the people present off guard, and suddenly they were all stunned, and then they saw a man with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, looking like he was in his forties and fifties.

"If you return to the princess, the little one is the shopkeeper of the 'Spring and Autumn Building', and she is also the manager of the shops. In addition to the "Spring and Autumn Building", the small one is in charge of several restaurants such as "Jinxiang Restaurant" and "Piaoxiang Restaurant". After this person finished speaking, he gave a detailed introduction to the various places he was in charge of in the Shizi Mansion.

This gave Xi Ningyu a more detailed understanding, and it also saved the trouble of asking several times.

Xi Ningyu carefully inquired about some things in each shop under his hands, and then explained some dietary matters that needed attention, and also put forward a few small opinions for reference.

After finishing speaking, Xi Ningyu asked people to reward him with some more silver, and then asked him to retreat to the side and sit.

originally thought that Xi Ningyu would call other stewards, but he didn't expect Xi Ningyu not only not to call anyone, but instead took out an account book and looked through it. Then there was a cup of tea, and Xi Ningyu put down the booklet.

"Who is the manager of the 'Dexterous Gold Workshop' and 'Dexterous Jewelry' shops? But the same person who runs both shops? , stand up and recognize people! Xi Ningyu asked with a slight smile, and there was no difference on her face.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a woman leading a hairy little guy of five or six years old out of the way.

The woman knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Xi Ningyu and said, "The slave has seen Madame, Madame Wan'an!" After speaking, he was a little timid and knelt on the ground with the child in his arms and did not get up.

Because she was a little afraid in her heart, the two shops under her management had the least income this year, and she was afraid that she would not recruit a new lady to see her, so she would be exempted from her position, for fear that even her son would be punished.

So when she saw Xi Ningyu calling her, she felt a little bottomless, and she looked pitiful with fear.

Xi Ningyu may have also seen it, so she smiled more gently, and then asked the woman, "Where are you?" But with a name, is the husband's family also doing work somewhere in the house? I wanted to take the opportunity to relieve the woman's nervousness, but who knew that such a question made the woman tremble even more.

Xi Ningyu couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and she didn't know how to appease this woman.

"Madam, this is the mother-in-law of the Liu family, a few years ago, she happened to have a small achievement, and Lord Fuqin asked her to take charge of the stewardship of the two craft workshops in the house. But since she took over, the revenues of these two places have only declined year after year, but have not increased. โ€

Xi Ningyu glanced at the person who stood up to speak, but she didn't say much, knowing where this woman came from. Xi Ningyu was easy to speak, so Xi Ningyu continued to say with a gentle smile: "It seems that the husband and wife are still from the house, so I will have something to say." โ€

Let Toad go and help people up first, Xi Ningyu is really not used to watching people kneel in front of her and talk, but this woman just doesn't dare to get up, so Xi Ningyu can only let people get her up first.

"You go back and bring me the finished products made in the workshop for me to see, and I also have a few little sisters who love these things, and let them see what is wrong when they are empty. I don't suspect that you are secretly manipulating the accounts, but all women's things must be in line with women's wishes, and they must be changed often to catch up with the fashion.

To be ingenious, but also to have new ideas. Especially the small things that women wear on their heads and faces, they need to be delicate and novel in order to attract people's liking......" Xi Ningyu said a lot, but what she said was very much in line with the woman's preference for gold and silver jewelry.

In addition, Xi Ningyu himself likes those little things, so some of the insights and opinions he put forward shocked the hearts of all the stewards present. There is a trace of understanding in my heart, it seems that the new housewife in front of me is not a good-looking ornament, it turns out that she has such insight into the doorway of business and these related things, and she must not be opportunistic and cause trouble for herself in the future.

With Xi Ningyu's persuasion, the woman in charge of the jewelry store gradually became active. From time to time, the woman could take the initiative to speak and discuss with Xi Ningyu.

Especially after seeing that Xi Ningyu really didn't want to take advantage of her, this woman became even more active, and what she said with one mouth also made Xi Ningyu feel very pleased.

Finally finished talking to the woman of the Liu family about the shop, Xi Ningyu specially asked Qingqiong to prepare a generous reward, and then let the woman of the Liu family retreat to the side and sit.

After the woman of the Liu family was ready, Xi Ningyu originally had a faint smile on her face. But he suddenly slowly sank, and after waiting quietly for a while, he saw Xi Ningyu ask with a little coldness. "Who is the manager in charge of the 'Tyrone Antique' shop, come out and let me see!"

As soon as Xi Ningyu's words fell, he saw that the steward who had just come out to answer stood up, and after bowing to Xi Ningyu, he replied: "Mrs. Hui, the little one is the steward of the 'Tailong Antique' shop." โ€

Xi Ningyu stared at the steward of this 'Tyrone Antique' seriously, and looked at it for a while before saying: "It's really hard, I don't know Your Excellency's name, I don't know if you can tell me about this troublesome person?" โ€
