061 Check the ledger overnight
Tao Wanyan returned to Tao Mansion with a heavy heart. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
She thought about her words many times along the way. The more you think about it. The more I feel that things are not simple. The more you think about it. I became more and more curious about this person.
"Shen Xia ......" sat in the pavilion outside the courtyard. Tao Wanyan yelled a few words at the front in a sullen manner.
I thought that Shen Xia would appear in response. I don't know, but I haven't seen it for a long time. Pouted. He shouted in a louder voice. "Shen Xia. You come out. ”
Really. As soon as the sound fell. Shen Xia had already stood firmly in front of Tao Wanyan. He looked at her suspiciously. "The landlord. What's the matter? ”
"Shen Xiaoxia. Why didn't I just call you out of you. ”
"Ahh That's because...... Because ...... "Shen Xia naturally wouldn't tell Tao Wanyan that she was thinking about things and coming up with a distraction." So I made an excuse at random. "Doesn't the landlord want to be quiet? Then I had to stay away from the landlord. Don't bother you. ”
"Hmm. You've got a lot to say today. Tao Wan nodded matter-of-factly. Then he spoke with great certainty. "There are questions. There is a big problem. ”
"What does the landlord command?"
"Speaking of which. You must have followed me all the way to Ning'an Taoist Temple. You've listened to what you're saying. Tao Wanyan pretended to ask unintentionally. But he has been paying attention to every change in his expression. "You say...... Responsibility in the Mouth...... What is it. ”
"My subordinates don't know."
Shen Xia didn't hesitate to speak. Thinking about this, she also hesitated for a long time. Inexplicably. Tao Wanyan became more and more curious about the relationship between Sixia and Tanyin. chuckle. Tao Wanyan turned her gaze away. "Shen Xia. You go and tell Yuanxia first. Let her come to the General's Mansion quickly. As for you...... Thinking about it, Zui Xia didn't leave King Ling's mansion. Go tell her. Keep an eye on Huo Zilan. Be sure to keep an eye on her. Tell me anything. ”
"Yes."
Tao Wanyan got up at this time. Hurried to the bookkeeper. And he ordered the butler to be brought over.
Petition Summer to come. Naturally, it was because I believed the words of the voice. It's time to take a serious look at the Taofu's account books.
Tao Wanyan has many dissatisfaction with the inclination. But Tilt Yin has also saved her life many times. Although there is some incomprehension of her approach. But in the end, she still believed.
"Miss...... It's a big night. How can you look at the ledger without sleeping. Why don't you go and rest now? Let's see it tomorrow morning. ”
"It's too late." Tao Wanyan shouted at the housekeeper.
As soon as I spoke, I felt that it was inappropriate. I want to look up and apologize to the housekeeper. But I inadvertently saw the haze flashing in the butler's eyes.
Although I don't have deep contact with the housekeeper in the house. But Tao Wanyan also knows the attitude of people up and down the Tao Mansion towards her. In addition, he later married to King Ling's Mansion. This comes and goes. It's even less close to the people in the house.
But last time Tao Wanyan asked the north to find Tao Ling. The housekeeper's attitude towards her changed dramatically.
I didn't think much of it at the time. I think it now. That change is a little too big.
Just when I think it's weird. May Xia have arrived.
Originally, after Tao Wanyan came back, the two didn't talk much. Now Tao Wanyan is willing to see her. Naturally, she was very happy. But he was also suspicious. "Miss. How do you hold the account books? ”
"Oh. Before returning to the imperial capital. Grandpa confessed to me. Up and down the Tao Mansion. Nothing is detailed. I'll take care of it myself. Especially this account ......" Tao Wanyan shook the account book in his hand. But he didn't take his eyes off the butler. "It's even more important to look carefully."
"But it's getting late. You're just hurrying out again. Aren't you tired? "In the eyes of Wish Summer. Relative to the books of the Tao house. She values Tao Wanyan's body more.
"I'm fine." said. Tao Wanyan opened another account book. Took a look at it a few times. The corners of the eyebrows are slightly raised. "This is the month's account. I remember it clearly and carefully. I wish Xia helped me remember. ”
"Back to Miss. It was the month of the plague in Westview. Quite a few people have also been infected in Tao Province. After the Seven Princes learned about it. So he went to the house and took care of it. In those days, Mr. Bookkeeper happened to be reluctant. The old slave was busy taking care of the affairs of the people in the house again. The Seventh Prince took it upon himself to post the accounts. ”
Jing Ye came to Tao Mansion.
No wonder I was so busy in those days that I couldn't see the figure of my face all day. I didn't go to Lihualou to look for medicine. It turned out that he came to the Tao Mansion to take care of it......
"The Seventh Prince is also a person with a heart." May Xia hear what the housekeeper says. Naturally, it is also to say good things for Jingye.
Tao Wanyan was also a little moved in her heart. But it didn't show itself. I was stumped by a large expense.
"Why is there so much money spent here?"
"Miss should know. The old man has always loved to collect calligraphy and paintings. Those are the paintings that the master set before he set out on the expedition. It happened to be sent to the house that day. So he gave the rest of the money. ”
"How do you know it was set by grandpa?" Tao Ling was not there. There is no basis for empty talk. "Could it be that grandpa has informed you in advance?"
"Not really. But the person who delivered the painting was a guy from the shop where the old man often bought calligraphy and paintings. I used to send paintings a lot. Naturally, there will be no problem. Besides, he has the letter of the lord in his hand to rely on. It is also stamped with the seal of the master. There can be no mistakes. ”
I heard the butler say so. Tao Wanyan didn't care about anything. There was just a little hesitation.
The wound on his hand was not healed in the first place. Now I've been digging through the books for most of the day. Naturally, I felt sour and tired. May Xia see you. Hurry up and persuade her. "Miss. Go and rest. ”
"I want to read the accounts."
"Then I'll leave it to me."
"You. Didn't you look at it when I left? Now you're rushing to watch it with me. Tao Wanyan is an unintentional joke. only to find that Yuan Xia's expression became ugly because of this.
The smile on his face naturally ended. Something strange. "May it be summer. What happened to you. What I just said ......"
"Miss. Please spare the old slave. ”
I didn't know that she hadn't finished asking her words. The butler knelt on the ground first. He opened his mouth with tears in his eyes. "The old slave originally thought that Miss Xia was not from Taofu. It's really not good for her to meddle in the affairs of Tao Mansion. So he didn't let her take over the affairs of Tao Mansion. But the old slave really didn't know. It turns out that Miss and Miss Xia have such a good relationship. ”
May Xia not take care of the affairs of Tao Mansion.
It's not a big deal. But Tao Wanyan had doubts in her heart. But I am afraid of this housekeeper's ability, and my grandfather is the most important person. He also did not worry about leaving the affairs of Tao Mansion in the hands of others. Naturally, he didn't let Yuan Xia take care of this matter.
Originally, it was a bit abrupt to ask Yuan Xia to help take care of the General's Mansion. It's natural that the steward doesn't trust that.
Put it this way. It works, too. Tao Wanyan asked the housekeeper to get up.
"I'll look at it for a while. That's right. Let Ning Yue make me tea. "Tao Wanyan is also an excellent talker. Naturally, I won't be embarrassed by the housekeeper now. I casually found an excuse to link the atmosphere.
Who knows. The butler knelt down again.
"Miss. This Moon Girl...... It's not in the house. ”
Ning Yue is not there.
No wonder I haven't seen her for so long. actually left without saying a word.
"Where did she go?"
"Miss Hui. Since you're gone. Ning Yue went back to the countryside to visit relatives. I thought about it. You're not in the house. She is also an idler. So he let her go. If it's a young lady......"
"Alright, alright." Tao Wanyan waved his hand. Interrupt the butler. "Then let her play a few more days. I am tired. I'm going to rest. ”
Before leaving. Tao Wanyan didn't forget to look up at the housekeeper. But he didn't say much.
