Wei Shu

Chapter 117
He Zhuo is a confidant who has followed the eldest lady for many years, and is also the chief steward of the back house of the Shuai Mansion. At present, the accounts of the Shuai Mansion are similar, and they must be handed over to her before they are handed over to Gilles.

However, part of the expenses of Mangtai and Gude's father and son came from the bills of the outer court, and Gilles is still out of reach.

Speaking of which, even the account books and funds are all in the hands of He Zhuo, which shows that Gilles has a lot of trust in her, and also shows He Zhuo's status in the mansion.

Of course, the final decision is still Gilles.Even if there is a mistake in the account book, Gilles can see it at a glance.

As the daughter of traveling merchants, Gilles really slept on the account book since she was a child, and she was naturally very sensitive to the amount of money.If it wasn't for his youngest son, Gilles would probably not be able to spend all the money he had accumulated over the years.

It's a pity that it's too difficult to compete for the title, and Nadanben's family is full of greedy people. The Gilles family spent a lot of money, but they didn't accomplish a few things. Now that they have gone to Huazhen's arm, she It was also because he was so anxious that he came up with other ideas.

In addition to He Zhuo, there are one or two cronies beside Gilles, who are also good stewards and directors. However, they were all left in the family to help manage Gilles' property, and the only ones who came to Baishuang City were And Zhuo alone.

After finding a hexagonal pavilion to sit in, Gilles opened the account book and took a closer look.

Today is a cloudy day in spring, the sun is thin, and the flowers and trees in the garden also look weak, not as plump as before.

Maybe it's not all about the weather.

Some time ago, the garden was full of flowers and plants after a lot of harsh hands, and many of them were pulled out. Now, the ones that survived by luck are less than half of the original ones, and the excitement of the garden in spring is no longer there. , everywhere is bleak, it seems that autumn has entered early.

Gilles' mood was not affected, and he was even quite happy with the tranquility of this big garden.Seeing that there were no errors or omissions in the account books, and calculating that the upcoming income was indeed a huge sum, and a few sticks of firewood were still affordable, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and that smile never faded. whereabouts.

"All of you, go back and wait." Seeing this situation, He Zhuoli ordered in a low voice.

She knew her master best, and knowing that Gilles must have something to say, she waved those little slave girls back.

Sure enough, when there were only two of her master and servant left in the pavilion, Gilles smiled lightly and said, "Has our Major General gone crazy these days?"

"Returning to Master, I heard that the Major General didn't have dinner yesterday." He Zhuo's voice was very calm.

"Look, look, isn't this just madness?" Gilles laughed happily, and a childlike innocence appeared on that pretty face.

Seventh Miss Huazhen's appearance is like that of her biological mother, and her smile is also similar to that of Jiller's.However, the darkness in the depths of Huazhen's eyes is more like her father Mangtai.And Gilles obviously doesn't have the exquisite heart of a daughter. Sometimes, she is indeed extremely naive, and naive to the point of being cruel.

For example, she has always naively felt that since she gave her daughter life, her daughter's life is hers. As long as her daughter lives for a day, she should sell her life for a day as a mother. no excuses.

But now, her daughter really lost her life. As a mother, she is naturally sad, but apart from being sad, she is even more sad because of another thing:

From now on, no one in Nadan's family will fight for her mother and son's favor and help her mother and son earn money. His mother and son are alone and alone, and life will be even more difficult in the future.

This worry is like the low hanging cloud outside the hexagonal pavilion. Once it floats up, it sinks heavily. The smile on Jiller's face suddenly faded, and his brows were wrinkled again. He asked worriedly: " He Zhuo, have you sent someone to search carefully?"

He Zhuo knew what she was asking, looked around, took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Return to master, this servant is going to find some people, and dig the wall to have a look at night."

Gilles was taken aback: "Hey, do you want to dig a wall?"

He Zhuo said: "I can't find it outside, I have already opened the cabinet and looked."

When Gilles heard this, his face was a little gloomy, and after counting breaths, he nodded his head: "Forget it, then you can dig it out, and be gentle, so as not to alarm outsiders."

He Zhuo agreed in a low voice.

Gilles finished his explanation, and his mood did not improve. He still frowned and looked at the flowers and plants in front of the steps. After a while, he sighed and said:

"Oh, really, this child is too careful. I sent more than a dozen letters before and after, but I didn't mention where I hid the treasure, but now I, my mother, have to go find it myself. It's not that I picked this child's eyes, she is far behind Bao'er in terms of filial piety."

Bao'er is the son of Gilles, and she also came to Baishuang City with her this time.

He Zhuo dared not answer his master's words, he only said vaguely: "Miss Seven is always careful."

"No matter how careful you are, you can't let the wind leak!" Gilles was obviously a little anxious, and raised his hand to pat the lintel of the stool, with the intention of complaining already in his words:
"I'm a real mother. It's so hard for her to tell me? Doesn't she know that I'm waiting for money here? It's true that I'm dying of anxiety now, and I don't dare to speak out.

If Master Jiao knows that I have demolished Zhenzhen's house, he will be furious again, so I don't understand what this child is thinking.As long as she can think about me a little bit, she won't be so hidden and tucked in to make people anxious. "

The more he went on, the more resentment in Jill's language became, his brows almost knit into knots, and he said again:

"This child is just so bad. She is weird and stuffy. You can't guess what she is thinking. I really don't know who her temper is. She is not pleasing at all. I really regret it now. I shouldn't have allowed her to go out alone, if I knew she was short... I should have sent a few more people to watch her if I left so early."

She patted the lintel of the stool and sighed and felt annoyed at the same time, and He Zhuo stood silently at the side until she had finished complaining, then said softly:

"Master is a good person. God hates good people when they are sad. Look, master, isn't God here to help you? We haven't even arrived in Baishuang City yet, and the business is just around the corner."

As she spoke, she leaned forward again, and said in a whisper: "As long as this sum is done, the master and the young master will not have to worry about it for the next few years."

When Gilles heard the words, he felt a little more happy in his heart, feeling that this deal was indeed a gift from God.However, when she thought about it again, she thought that the 8000 taels that Hua Zhen had promised had not been found so far, so she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart, her eye sockets were sore, and she actually shed tears.
