Help!The icy grandpa has moved my heart

Chapter 51
Pei Ji'an smiled and said, "Brother, if you really don't like this marriage, I'll find a way to help you quit tomorrow and find a more suitable one."

Pei Yuan said, "Forget it, don't bother, I don't have any requirements, as long as grandma and mother like it."

Pei Ji'an just smiled and didn't speak, he wanted to help, but there was nothing he could do if others didn't accept him.

Back in the Lixiang Courtyard, I found that Qu Fulan was still reading the ledger in the study.

But Qu Fulan went back to the study to look at the account book after a hasty meal.

It is not an easy job to look at the account books. I have not participated in the operation and do not know the prices. If I can see the problem only by the account books, I must have some skills.

Regarding Qu Fulan's reading of the ledger, the four guards around Pei Shizi were not optimistic.

With so many ledgers, it is difficult just to read them, and it is even more difficult to find problems in them.

What's more, those account books are also irrelevant, and a profitable shop will naturally not let her touch it easily. Using such a shop to test Qu Fulan is actually intentional and has two meanings.

One, if she doesn't have the skills, just let her retreat in the face of difficulties; two, depending on what she wants to do in the future, if she wants to use the business to send news to the Pei family's opponents, they can just catch the thief.

"How long do you think it will take her to read those ledgers?"

The four guards were sitting on the tree and discussing. From this perspective, everything in the study could be seen clearly.

"When the shopkeeper liquidates at the end of the month, it will take seven or eight days to sort it out. It will take at least half a month for her to finish it."

"Maybe it's just putting on airs, and I don't care about the books at all, so I can just say 'no problem' and dismiss it."

"Let's make a bet on whether she can find the problem."

"This is unreasonable. Since she said she can do business, she has to find a few problems before she can explain to the master. Besides, there are more or less problems in those ledgers. If she can't see the problems, she will definitely lose."

"It makes sense, then let's change the betting method and bet on whether she is a 'specialist', how about?"

This time there was no objection.

In the end, two people thought that Qu Fulan was a meticulous work, and two people thought it was not, and the distribution was just right.

After all, Qu Fulan was just a weak woman, it was not so easy to distinguish the real from the fake, and it was just a probability that she was betting on.

Qu Fulan didn't know that she had become someone else's bet, she put all her thoughts on the ledger, and regarded the ledger as her only way out.

Seeing Prince Pei entering the door, Qu Fulan hurriedly got up and was about to salute, but was stopped by raising his hand.

"Is it ready to eat?" Pei Shizi asked.

"I came back to read it after I used it." Qu Fulan replied.

"It won't be possible to read the ledger in a while, so why not keep it in the daytime?"

"I don't have anything else to do, I think I can watch it sooner and feel at ease, but I won't watch it for too long, most of it is in the daytime."

There was no electricity in ancient times, but lighting candles was a luxury for the poor. Although the Pei family was rich, it was not extravagant.

Pei Shizi had already walked across to her and sat down, and saw that she had accumulated a lot of books beside her left hand, presumably because the ones he was looking forward to were separated, and he was not interested in reading them, instead he picked up the books he hadn't read and flipped through them at will. Hearing what she said, he raised his eyes and glanced at her.

"It's not that Pei's mansion can't afford to pay for this little gas, but the light at night is not good, so it's not as comfortable as during the day after all."

Qu Fulan felt that this person was too perceptive. He could see through her words without saying a word. It seemed that it would be better for her to be straightforward in her words and actions in the future, and it would be unpleasant to beat around the bush.

It was still in modern times that her boss reminded her that it was taboo to beat around the bush with her superiors, but it was okay with her peers.

"What the prince said, I remember."

"How long do you want to look at these ledgers?" Pei Shizi threw the ledgers to the side. He has no shortage of people who read the ledgers. The shop in his hand has a special person in charge. He sorts them out every month, and he knows the profit or loss at a glance. .

Right now, these few shops are only used as a cover, so they are not worth his troubles, but the shopkeepers have already sorted them out, and he has already gone through them.

"Three days, my son will give me three days, and I will definitely give my son an explanation." When Qu Fulan talked about official affairs, he was always very serious.

Pei Shizi was a little surprised at the time she said, but seeing her attitude like this, it was hard to say anything.

"That being the case, I will wait for the good news." After finishing speaking, he got up, "Looking at the account book at night is not good for your eyes after all, so you can decide for yourself."

After finishing speaking, he walked out without waiting for Qu Fulan to speak.

After all, Qu Fulan didn't dare to look at it for too long, after all, it wasn't her own home, so she could do whatever she wanted, and she went back to sleep soon, planning to get up early the next day to look at the account book.

As a result, I was told the next day that everyone was going to see a play at Sunset Lake.

The old lady, the second wife, and Mr. Pei are all going, and so is Mr. Pei. As Mr. Pei's servant girl, she must not fail.

Qu Fulan didn't know the purpose of this trip until he met Haixia when he went out.

After Haixia saw her, she first expressed some excited words, and then said the purpose of this trip.

"It's for the eldest son to see the girl." Haixia's voice was very low, just to make sure that she alone could hear it.

It was only then that Qu Fulan realized that marrying a wife in ancient times was not completely black-eyed, it also needed to look at each other like modern times, and if he was not satisfied, he could also decline.

But in fact, the probability of declining is very small. Taking the marriage of Mr. Pei this time as an example, the purpose of seeing each other is usually achieved only when both parents are satisfied.

Otherwise, you will only be stuck at the level of the matchmaker and there will be no next step.

The sunset lake in Jingshi City is very beautiful, especially when the sun sets in the west, the sunset is infinitely beautiful, hence the name of the lake.

There are buildings around Xiyang Lake. You can watch a play in the building, and you can enjoy the lake outside the building. The best of both worlds, so if there is any good thing, the rich and powerful families choose to come here for entertainment.

It wasn't long after they arrived here that the Qian family, who was looking after Mr. Pei, came over.

Mr. Pei is second-married, and the family he meets is not high, but he is from a scholarly family, so he is a good match.

In fact, with Mr. Pei's attitude, it's okay to find someone from the right family, but I'm worried that if his family background is too good, it will be bad for Brother Tuan, so it's better to choose someone from a mediocre family background, which will save a lot of worry.

"Greetings to the old lady." Mrs. Qian brought her daughter to greet the old lady. Miss Qian looked around calmly with her eyes, but she didn't find the person she wanted to see.

The old lady naturally saw everything in her eyes, and explained with a smile, "When I came here, I met a few acquaintances to socialize, and they will come after a while."

The old lady looked carefully at the girl in front of her while she was talking, and she seemed to be speaking a little differently than the matchmaker, but it didn't affect much. The old lady also enthusiastically held Miss Qian's hand and said a lot.

While speaking, the young masters of the aristocratic families who had just left the meeting returned one after another.

Both Mr. Pei and Mr. Pei are included.
