041 There is a fairy steward in the palace
Xuanji didn't suppress her curiosity for a moment and asked, "How old are you?" ”
Zhao Jianshen was so crying and laughing when he was asked this question that he replied, "Thirty." ”
Xuanji looked at Zhao Jianshen's son, Xiao Zhengtai was very good in front of his father, and automatically replied: "Fourteen." ”
Xuanji said "oh", did not express any more opinions, and was amazed at the early marriage and early childbirth of the ancients, how do these two look like two brothers in front of them, the older one looks like only more than twenty, and the small one is a little too strong, tsk!
Zhao Jianshen got married at the age of fifteen and gave birth to a child at the age of sixteen, which is very common in contemporary times, so naturally he can't understand Xuanji's fuss.
It's just that Zhao Siyuan, that is, the "Yuan'er" in Zhao Jianshen's mouth, secretly paid attention to Xuanji: his father is very different from this woman! Isn't it another woman who wants to be her stepmother?
In fact, not only Zhao Siyuan, everyone in the palace thinks that Xuanji is a woman who wants to climb to the throne of the princess in the name of managing accounts.
But Zhao Jianshen's arrangement of Xuanji made everyone puzzled. This "Miss Xie" does not live in the inner courtyard where the royal family lives together, but lives in Tingsong Ju at the junction of the inner courtyard and the front yard. Tingsongju was originally used to entertain some important royal guests and stewards who came from other places to report on their work, and it was a relatively independent courtyard. It is said that if the prince is interested in her, there is no reason to place her in such a place.
Xuanji is quite satisfied with listening to Songju, people come and go outside the courtyard, the courtyard is its own world, quiet and quiet, suitable for sleeping, there is a separate bathroom behind the main building of the courtyard, and it is also very close to the place where you go to work - Wangfu Yinlou, and it is less than 100 meters away from the courtyard.
Zhang's mother moved everything she could move in the courtyard, including her feather quilt, the sanitary napkins in the big bag, and the porcelain drum stool that hid the money in the private room. Seeing these familiar things again, Xuanji was moved.
On the second day after Xuanji arrived at the palace, he began to take over the accounts of the palace, originally thinking that the palace was intertwined and the personnel relations were complicated, and he would inevitably be excluded or secretly receive a few pairs of small shoes, but nothing happened, and the wind and waves were calm.
If it weren't for the uncomfortable look of the other stewards when facing her, Xuanji almost suspected that it was not unusual for a woman to be the bookkeeper here, and her plan to mediate the contradictions among the masses had all failed.
I have to admit that it is an extremely rare skill to manage a palace so well, and truly perform its own duties and enforce orders and prohibitions. At present, she sees the situation in the front yard, and it is unknown whether there is a fire in the backyard.
Although Zhao saw that there was no princess in the palace, there were many concubines and concubines, and there were four formal concubines, and it was difficult to say how many of the singers' attendants there were.
When I heard this, although I felt a little uncomfortable, I quickly forced myself to put that little bit of mind behind, after all, I was just a for a beautiful man, since I didn't plan to develop any relationship with him, why should I care about his marriage and dating status? It's better to live your own little life honestly.
Xie Xuanji is a person who is very good at pretending to be an ostrich.
It's just that some people don't like her idleness very much.
Since returning to the palace, Xuanji's schedule has been very close, getting up early in the morning to report to the silver building, and in the afternoon with Zhao Siyuan and Zhang Qiaoyu to the study to read and practice calligraphy, and in the evening, Zhao Jianshen wants to discuss business matters, and she has to chat with her.
In this era, there is no eight-hour work system, and there is no concept of weekend vacation, only Xuanji is tired like a cow.
The account room is good to say, although the scale and workload of the accounts of the entire palace and part of the Shen family's business accounts are completely different, but there are many capable account room managers in the palace who can help, after the first month of chaos, Xuanji began to combine modern bookkeeping methods with reality, and made a new set of more concise and scientific bookkeeping methods, and spent another month teaching them to his stewards, and after they got started, the rest of the things were relatively easier and easier. Xuanji's financial and accounting skills were brought into full play here, and she also won the unanimous respect of her stewards.
Although working with such a beautiful boss often makes me careless, those who can finally get into the position of the account manager of Zhao Wangfu are all proven and one-in-a-hundred talents, so as not to affect their work too much.
Xuanji knew that this face was more troublesome, so she also tried to avoid being alone with these stewards, and usually hid alone in the room on the top floor of the silver building to work.
It's just that the news that there is a beautiful woman in the silver building of the palace is in charge of the book, and it spreads in the front and back yards of the palace, and even slowly spreads among the princes and nobles of the capital.
Since Xuanji settled in the palace silver building, the enthusiasm of young men from the palace to run the silver building has increased greatly, although not every time they can talk to the beauty, but as long as they can look at it from a distance, they will have the capital to brag and show off with their peers when they go back. For a time, the butterflies and bees near the silver building were very noisy, and the peach blossoms were blooming.
On this day, after the court meeting, Emperor Chengtian, the monarch of Ji Guoguo, specially called Zhao Jianshen to the imperial study, and gossiped straight to the point: "Shen'er, I heard that the head of the account office in your house is a woman?" ”
When there was no one else in the imperial study, Emperor Chengtian never talked to Zhao Jianshen with titles such as Aiqing.
Zhao Jianshen was not as respectful and restrained as he was in the court, and said with a wry smile: "Why are you also concerned about these rumors?" ”
"How can you not care about your son's affairs?" Emperor Chengtian's face was taken for granted, and seeing Zhao Jianshen's expression of wanting to speak, he said with a smile: "I know that you have to advise me to be cautious and not to declare our relationship, but there is no one else here." Even if you do, you're still my titular godson. ”
Zhao Jianshen said: "It's better to be careful before the big thing happens." ”
"Don't run away from the problem, come on, talk about the beautiful woman in your house, the god of wealth."
Zhao Jianshen was helpless, and under the repeated questioning of Emperor Chengtian, he had to explain Xuanji's affairs to the key points.
After hearing this, Emperor Chengtian said in a speech: "There is a woman in this world who doesn't want you, when will you bring it to your father." ”
"Father seems pleased?" Zhao Jianshen smiled kindly.
"No, no, being a father is not angry for his son!" Emperor Chengtian didn't know his son's character, and no one dared to offend him.
As I said, Zhao Jianshen reported the incident of the Yunchuan Iron Mine this time, as well as what he saw and arranged on the way back to Beijing.
Emperor Chengtian said with a smile: "I didn't expect the little girl who came out of the middle to help us a lot, if it weren't for her, it would have taken a lot of effort to take down the Yunchuan Iron Mine without being suspected, and this time Bai Zhiyao was successfully put in, and the game was completely won!" Winning the game! Ha ha! ”
"This is just the first step in closing the net...... Zhao Jianshen poured cold water lightly, and scattered Emperor Chengtian's prosperity on the spot.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the foreign ministers, Zhao Jianshen did not dare to stay for too long, and after a little discussion, he left and returned home.
When passing by the study in the outer courtyard, he remembered that he had not inspected his son's homework progress for a while, and Xuanji should also be in the study at this moment, so his heart was hot, and he walked towards the study.
