The two have only known each other for a year, but their feelings are entangled as if half a lifetime has passed.

Ye Lingwu lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him, she was not unkind, how could she be indifferent to such an affectionate Shen Zhan.

However, she did not have the courage of Shen Paner to rebel against her parents.

After a while, she said euphemistically: "I can solve the trouble of the Ye family myself, so I won't trouble Master Hou." ”

“…… Ye Lingwu, are you really willing to marry Jiang Yuan? Shen Zhan said dejectedly.

Ye Lingwu frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I am willing to marry Jiang Yuan." The 18,000 taels owed to Hou Ye, I will definitely pay you back in the future, and I hope Hou Ye will stop pestering me. ”

The cold wind of late winter was cold, blowing on his body and cooling it out, Shen Zhan looked at Ye Ling Wu quietly for a long time, as if waiting for her to regret it, or say something more, but he never waited.

"Okay, then I'll wish you never regret it."

The wind was still blowing, Ye Lingwu's eyes were moist, looking at the remote corridor where she was the only one, and tears fell silently.

But soon, she wiped away her tears and turned to the outer courtyard. In the clear and cold corridor, I saw a light purple figure walking aimlessly.

After two days, the weather suddenly began to warm up, and early in the morning, Ye Lingwu asked Uncle Yu to invite a few stewards to come over and talk.

The three stewards rubbed their sleepiness and dragged their bodies to the other courtyard.

Ye Lingwu sat on the top, and on the desk in front of him was the account book given by the three stewards last night, and the small incense burner still emitting a trace of white smoke.

"Blame me for not expecting that Ziluo Buzhuang has been idle for a long time, and the three stewards are estimated to be resting at this time in the past." Ye Lingwu smiled kindly.

Li Zheng smiled reluctantly and said: "The eldest girl has an order, and we naturally got it from the sword mountain and the sea of fire, but I don't know why the eldest girl came to us?" ”

Ye Lingwu said: "Actually, there is nothing important, but last night I looked through the account books, and saw that the account books of the stewards were well written, and I was deeply impressed, so I wanted to understand the stewards." Uncle Li, how long have you been in Ziluo Cloth Village? ”

Li Zheng was stunned, and said proudly: "The little one has been coming to Ziluo Buzhuang for almost eight years. ”

"Where's Uncle Zheng?"

"The little one has been coming to Ziluo Buzhuang for almost eight years."

"Where's Uncle Wang?"

"Small. The little one has only been in Buzhuang for less than three years. ”

Ye Lingwu said: "I have only been in Buzhuang for less than three years to sit in the position of steward, and I think my father attaches great importance to Uncle Wang's ability. ”

The third steward said embarrassedly: "If you say anything, the eldest girl has won the prize." ”

"You are all old people in the village, it's just" Ye Lingwu picked up the account book, sighed and said, "Why can't you even make the account." ”

Ye Lingwu opened the box, took out an old account book four or five centimeters thick, and said: "In the past few days, I went to Mr. Accounts to check the account book, and found that many accounts and expenditures in this account book did not match, I thought that maybe Mr. Accounts was also confused, so I went to ask the little guy in charge of purchasing, only to know that the account books given to me by the three stewards were really confused." ”

The faces of the three stewards turned pale, they never thought that Ye Lingwu would be able to reconcile the accounts one by one without fear of trouble, and personally asked the little guy, They have really been careless in the past three days!

Ye Lingwu was already in a bad mood, and now he was too lazy to be kind to the three of them, and said lightly with a straight face: "I grew up in a small town since I was a child, and I haven't seen much of the world, but my accounting skills are taught by the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion in Ningbei. ”

The atmosphere froze, Li Zheng was the first to react, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and the other two people in charge also kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Li Zheng raised his head and said: "It's all the little ones who are blinded by the lard, the little ones know that they are wrong, and the account books are empty, so we will make up for it immediately by smashing the pot and selling iron, and ask the big girl to be gracious." ”

"Make it up?" Ye Lingwu said, "You make false accounts, fill your pockets, deduct the moon silver of the slaves, and all the piles and piles are all in violation of the family rules and expelled from the door, if I am gracious to you, everyone will be like this in the future, and Ziluo Buzhuang will not be chaotic." ”

The hearts of the three stewards were worried, but the chief steward Li Zheng was quite sensible, and he was not completely bluffed, and said: "Big girl, we have done a lot of mistakes with a dull heart, but we are all relatives of your second uncle and second aunt, and we are also a family. ”

"Yes, the three people in charge are my second uncle and aunt, and if I really move the family rules, it will really hurt my feelings." Ye Lingwu showed a look of embarrassment.

Li Zheng's eyes flickered, and he said: "The lord has just passed away, and the purple cloth village needs old people inside and out, if the eldest girl really wants to act according to the family rules, this cloth village can't stand the toss." ”

"The three in charge don't worry, I have my own considerations." Ye Lingwu said, "The debt owed has been settled, and now the purple carrot cloth village is taken over by me, and the slaves below have been dissatisfied for a long time. ”

The faces of the three stewards darkened suddenly.

Li Zheng sighed: "What the eldest girl said is reasonable, but your second uncle and second aunt ......."

"I'll talk about them over there." Ye Lingwu interrupted.

Li Zheng listened to her firm tone, his heart sank, and he broke the jar and said, "The big girl really cares about her face? ”

Ye Lingwu smiled and said: "Uncle Li probably doesn't know, I'm the one who likes to act on the face of the most, but now it's different, if someone wants to be in charge of Ziluo Buzhuang, then I should distinguish between public and private, and what is the matter if there is no distinction between public and private, what do you say?" ”

The three stewards held back and did not speak.

Ye Lingwu said: "The three stewards don't have to worry, I have already found another errand for the three stewards on the Ye Family Grange." ”

Li Zheng's eyes widened and said, "Grange? ”

Ye Lingwu nodded and said, "Yes, after all, you are the old man of Ziluo Buzhuang, and I can't really move the family rules." ”

The three stewards looked at each other with sallow faces.

It's all drudgery on the grange!

As soon as they left, Uncle Yu led the bookkeeper in and chatted about the purple carrot village.

“…… In the future, Sanfang still needs to be in charge, but I want to be promoted from the old slaves, these old slaves are no less in Ziluo Buzhuang than the three in charge, and they are also familiar with Buzhuang. Ye Lingwu looked at the list of slaves in the cloth village and said.

Uncle Yu said: "It's up to the eldest girl to decide." Does the eldest girl have any other instructions, if not, the old slave will go down and make arrangements. ”

Ye Lingwu was silent and asked, "Did Xiao Marquis Shen leave Buzhuang?" ”

Uncle Yu groaned: "The little one didn't inquire, but the Marquis of Ningbei left Buzhuang early the day before yesterday. ”

Ye Lingwu's lips were pursed, and he said in a low voice: "I know, you guys go down first." ”

The two of them left as soon as they responded.
