But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Su Shi: "Uncle Zhong, you will have to look at the pavilion in the future." ”

"Yes." As soon as Zhong Wei answered, he clapped his hands again.

Suddenly, a few more servants carried a small table into the table and placed it on the lower right side of the creek pavilion.

Zhong Wei then sat down behind the small table, took a copy of the account books on this case and opened it, and said to Xiting: "Miss, the old slave has been here to deal with the affairs of the business since today, if you don't understand anything about those account books, you can ask the old slave at any time." ”

As soon as these words landed, Xiting couldn't help but hold his forehead, closed his eyes, and said in his heart, good guy, is this true?

When she was thinking about how to resolve this embarrassing situation, she heard Su Shi order: "Look at Miss carefully, no one is allowed to let her out without my instructions." ”

Hearing this, Xiting raised his head suddenly, only to see that the Su clan had already turned around and stepped out of the house.

Zhong Wei looked at Su's back and said respectfully, "Yes, madam." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the door was closed from the outside.

Xiting stood up suddenly, his pupils wide open, and his eyes stared at the closed door in shock.

Seeing this, Zhong Wei calmly looked at Xiting and said, "Miss, do you have something to order?" ”

Xiting came back to his senses at this time, looked at Zhong Wei embarrassedly, laughed at 'hehe', and motioned for Zhong Wei to sit down: "Shopkeeper Zhong, you sit, nothing ...... anything"

Since then, Xiting will be taken to the account office early every morning, and Zhong Wei will watch her learn to read the accounts.

On this day, when Xiting sat behind the desk full of ledgers as usual, he glanced at Zhong Wei, who was hanging his head and concentrating on settling accounts.

She held her cheek in one hand and casually flipped through the ledger with the other, and a few moments later, the hand that was flipping through the ledger quietly took out a small notebook from her sleeve and put it under the ledger.

Then he straightened up as if at will, and carefully opened the small notebook, his eyes focused and clear.

Half an hour later.

Suddenly, a 'cooing' bird's call sounded from outside the window, Xiting's eyes rolled to the bone, paused, and suddenly straightened up, listening to the sound outside the house.

After she listened to it a few times, her dark eyes quickly turned left and right, and after a pause, she looked at Zhong Wei and asked, "Uncle Zhong, where are the account books of some grain farms?" ”

Zhong Wei raised his head, pointed to the window on the right, and replied respectfully: "Miss, the account books of the grain village are all on the shelf over there, but do you want me to help you get them?" ”

Xiting waved his hand, got up casually, walked to the bookshelf by the window and said, "No, you are busy with yours, I can find it myself." ”

Zhong Wei glanced at Xiting and saw that she had gotten up and walked to the window, so he looked away and continued to look down at his account book.

Xi Ting seemed to inadvertently glance at Zhong Wei, who was immersed in reading the accounts, slowly leaned his waist against the window, looked down slightly, and a black head suddenly looked up at her.

"Miss, at noon today, the Yichun River will be opened."

Xiting stared at Zhong Wei, who was burying his head in the accounts: "But I can't get out." ”

After saying that, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, a plan flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly beckoned Ping An to come closer.

Ping An lifted his head up.

Xiting bent down slightly and whispered a few words in his ear.

As soon as the words fell, Ping An looked up in shock: "Miss...... This method ......"

Xiting was a little impatient, and waved his hand to signal him to leave: "Hurry up, don't delay the hour." ”

After leaving safely, Xiting returned to the table and sat down, staring at the accounts on the table with one hand on his cheek, and gently clasped the table with his right index finger.

A moment later.

Suddenly, there was a noise from outside the house, Zhong Wei subconsciously looked up at the closed door, and his brows furrowed unhappily.

Xiting watched Zhong Wei's reaction, and her index finger was still clasping the table with one after another, but as the noise got closer and closer, the sound of her buckling the table began to become rhythmic.

"One, two, three, in."

When the word 'enter' sounded, the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside.

A small servant raised his head and glanced around, came to Zhong Wei in a few steps, and said anxiously: "Shopkeeper Zhong, it's not good, there is a disturbance outside, saying that there is a problem with the silk we sold, and we have to find the shopkeeper to theorize, otherwise we will sue the government." ”

"This ......" Zhong Wei paused, looked at Xiting with a little apology, and said, "Miss, the old slave will go out and deal with it first." ”

Xiting nodded: "Okay." Go for it. ”

Zhong Wei waved his hand at the little guy: "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”

Xiting looked at their backs as they stepped out of the threshold, the corners of his lips pulled slightly, and he took a few steps to the windowsill, lifted the window and jumped down.

Ping'an looked at Xiting and patted the fallen leaves on the corner of his clothes, and asked worriedly, "Miss, is this method feasible?" If I let my wife know......"

Xiting stood up and ran forward without looking back: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go to the Queqiao Water Gate." ”

The Yichun River is one of the four major rivers through the city in Kyoto, and the water source of the Luojiang River is diverted from the mouth of the West Castle into the city, among which the water control gate is set up in front of the Queqiao Bridge in the West City, which is connected with the river channel of the Great Xiangguo Temple, so as to regulate the amount of water that the Yichun River flows into the inner city of the Imperial City.

When Xiting and Ping'an came to the vicinity of Queqiao, the streets were already noisy with gongs and drums, and the people surrounded the water gate of Queqiao.

Xiting struggled to squeeze into the crowd, came to the front row, and as soon as he looked up, he was shouted by the officers and soldiers standing in front of the crowd: "Go back, don't come close!" ”

She subconsciously stepped back, looked up, and saw that she was standing on the side of the riverbank, and in front of her was a stone gate, and there was a sunken doorpost on the left and right sides of the stone gate and the edge of the stone gate.

At the top of the stone gate, a hemp rope as thick as an arm hung on both sides, and several tall and strong shirtless men held the hemp rope tightly with both hands and waited for orders.

On the other side of the river, under the stone gate, there is a large leather drum on the right side, and a large red flower made of red silk is tied on each side of the drum.

"Miss, the master is on the other side." Ping'an approached the side of the Xiting and said.

Xu was so noisy that Ping An almost shouted.

Xiting looked down, and on the opposite bank of the river stood a row of men in scarlet official robes.

Zhao Shuo stood at the forefront of the group of officials in a purple robe, and the sunlight shone on his golden crown, giving him a thin layer of golden light, and his gestures showed his dignity.

Qian Ming'an stood on Zhao Shuo's lower side, he stroked the little goat's whisker, glanced around, and vaguely seemed to see him whispering a few words to Zhao Shuo.

Suddenly, I saw a little guy running to Zhao Shuo and bowing down.

In the next moment, the little man trotted to the leather drum and whispered to an officer with a saber in his hand.

The officer and soldier shouted: "Open the gates!" ”
