The world is heavy and late

Chapter 174 Audit ([-])

Xia Qing didn't have much time to deal with a small episode.

Because she is still very busy.

Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor ordered the household department to check the accounts, and Xia Qing vaguely guessed the meaning.

But after returning to the palace, there was the Cui family first, the birthday banquet in October, and the first birthday in November. The emperor had to be canonized as the empress this year, and he began to learn the rules after the year, so that Xia Qing really didn't have time at all. come out.

She looked at the bronze mirror in front of her and said, "Am I getting old?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his cheeks with his hands, while Gu Weiyun was grading papers aside, and when he heard this, he gave Xia Qing a helpless look, then gave her a gentle look, and said, "I'm a little older than you. "

Xia Qing put down his hands, turned his head left and right in front of the mirror, and said, "Oh, you don't know, fatigue is very easy to make people old."

Gu Weiyun just laughed, and she said, "Don't think I don't know, Qiao Huan read many of the excerpts for you."

Qiao Huan, whom Gu Weiyun mentioned, also stood aside, keeping his head down in silence as if he didn't exist.

Xia Qing said without guilt: "I also changed a lot for you. This is called squeezing. You squeeze me, and I squeeze Qiao Huan."

Gu Weiyun smiled, put down the pen in his hand, and asked, "Shall we start now?"

Xia Qing turned her head and scanned the room with only four people. Jing Ning had already been taken down by Aunt Qiu.

She nodded, and said with some worry: "I just hope those people don't go too far."

Gu Weiyun also sighed and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, but you've seen the daily booklets, and you know how much moisture there is."

Xia Qing glanced in the direction of the outside with some worry, and said with a headache: "The Sixth Division just got up, and there should be many accidents this time."

Gu Weiyun said: "Then let me deal with it lightly?"

Xia Qing shook his head, turned around and said, "The queen checks the accounts, the offenders should be dealt with severely, the new official takes office three fires."

Gu Weiyun couldn't understand Xia Qing's last sentence, but she also understood Xia Qing's meaning, and she said: "Then call the Secretary Tao Sizheng and the chief?"

Xia Qing nodded to express that he would listen to Gu Weiyun's arrangement.

When Tao Sizheng and the manager came out of Weiyang Palace, their complexions were very bad, and there was still sweat oozing from their foreheads, and they looked very flustered.

Xia Qing personally sent them out of the palace step by step. When they reached the gate of the palace, Tao Si couldn't help but stop.

She looked at Xia Qing hesitantly, but couldn't speak, she didn't know how to ask.

Xia Qing smiled and said: "Since the servant girl is here to see Si Zheng off, Si Zheng may speak up if he has something to say."

The manager at the side also poked her elbow, signaling Tao Si to speak quickly.

Tao Sizheng was so flustered that she couldn't blame the supervisor for pulling her out to block the knife. She took a deep breath and asked nervously in her voice:

"Ma'am, this is..."

The smile on Xia Qing's face didn't change a bit. She smiled and said, "Didn't your mother make it clear? Please ask Tao Sizheng and the manager to go back and prepare the accounts, especially for the purchases with the various departments."

After speaking, looking at Tao Si's ashen face, he said: "Sizheng, the harem has a master, you should have thought of these things a long time ago."

Before Tao Sizheng could speak, the manager at the side couldn't help but said, "Auntie, are you only investigating our Secretary?"

Xia Qing chuckled lightly and said, "How could it be? My lady just thought that the Secretary of Affairs and the purchase of the sixth department involved a lot of accounts, so she specially called the manager and the secretary to give you time to prepare in advance."

The manager's face was also anxious, and he came up directly and whispered: "Auntie, you also know that the accounts in this palace have been going on for more than ten years, and even after more than half a year, you can't finish it. Why don't you give it to your mother?" Say it."

Xia Qing took a look at the manager and Tao Sizheng and said, "Don't worry, you two. Your majesty only said that you need to check the accounts of the past five years. It's more or less easy. Isn't the Sixth Division established not long ago?"

The manager smiled resentfully at Xia Qing, and Tao Sizheng's face didn't look much better.

Xia Qing twitched the corner of her mouth, how bad it must be.

She said leisurely: "I advise the two adults to go earlier. What should be made up must be made up. It is the first time to check the accounts after the empress canonization. The two should know the weight."

The manager and Tao Si looked at each other with wry smiles, how could they make up for it?
But if you don't make up, how will you deal with this little life.

Overnight, the news of the audit can sweep the Sixth Palace.

None of the Si Zheng and the general manager could eat and sleep well, let alone Si Zheng, many people were terrified.

Hu Si was sitting in Gong Zhengsi's room thinking, even if she guessed a little bit, she never thought it would come so soon.

She sighed, and said to the female officer below: "You guys also go and settle the account of a pair of Gong Zhengsi, be careful, and think about whether Aunt Xia is someone you can fool."

The female officer said with a distressed expression: "But, Si Zheng, this..."

Hu Sizheng glanced at her eyes, but her expression did not soften. She said in a calm voice, "Let's sort out the accounts first, and then we'll talk about the rest."

That's exactly what Xia Qing and Gu Weiyun meant. First sort out the accounts, and then we can follow the current accounts later.

As for those losses, they all had expectations, and they couldn't wipe them all out, and they couldn't just do nothing.

The situation in the harem is changing, and some people feel that the sky is falling.

Gu Weiyun and Xia Qing sat by the window together, looking at the spring rain falling outside.

A piece of green has emerged on the grass in front of Weiyang Palace. The stone bricks there have been broken for a long time, and the Si Wusi also said that he will come to repair it.

But both Gu Weiyun and Xia Qing felt that the stone bricks were too rigid, so they pushed the stone bricks away and surrounded a small flower garden. The grass seeds inside had already begun to germinate.

Soft and dense, Xia Qing looked at the scene of drizzle weaving obliquely and slowly said: "There is nothing in the south of the Yangtze River, let's talk about giving a sprig of spring."

When Gu Weiyun heard it, he laughed and said, "It's that Li Bai who wrote it again?"

Xia Qing snorted and said, "I'm not only good at his poems."

Gu Weiyun didn't ask any more questions, she already knew about the strangeness of Xia Qing.

She reached out to refill Xia Qing's cup of tea, Xia Qing lifted it up and took a sip, then asked in surprise, "New tea?"

Gu Weiyun lowered his eyes gently and said: "Yangxian Zisun said that they just paid tribute."

Xia Qing smiled and said: "Well, it seems that our empress is deeply loved by Your Majesty."

Gu Weiyun glanced at Xia Qing with some embarrassment, and said, "I've sent someone to send your share to you."

Xia Qing lay down comfortably, looked at the rainy scene outside, and said in a nonchalant tone, "I don't understand these things. If you see what you like, you can keep it. If you send it to me, it can only be a cow chewing peony."

Gu Weiyun couldn't help but laugh, in the whole palace, no, the only one who can say so confidently that he doesn't understand this is Xia Qing.

Gu Weiyun said: "I heard that Mr. Xu asked Mr. Xu to bring you something yesterday? Doesn't Mr. Xu miss you?"

There was a smile on Xia Qing's face and eyes, but he said, "That's not thinking of me alone."

He stood up and said, "He knows that we are checking the accounts, and he probably knows that we are not familiar with these things, so he specially read the accounting booklet from the account department, and wrote a copy for us so that we can imitate it." Come with this."

Gu Weiyun was a little surprised, she said: "Maybe show it to me?"

Xia Qing took something out of his sleeve, reached out and said to her, "I knew you wanted to see it."

Gu Weiyun opened his eyes and glanced at the ten lines, surprised and delighted, and said with a little sigh: "Master Xu really puts his heart into it."

Xia Qing pretended to be modest and said, "Hahaha, it's just average."

Gu Weiyun glanced at Xia Qing and returned the things.

The spring rain is soft and the tea is fragrant, and the two of them enjoy the comfort of a room.
