Wei Shu

Chapter 143
Gilles said "um" casually, obviously not interested in this topic, drank another two sips of soufflé tea, then raised his head and opened his eyes to the left and right.

He Zhuo Xin understood, and immediately ordered the two little maids: "Go down."

The little maidservants responded in unison, bowed their waists and retreated, He Zhuo followed closely and stepped forward, lowered the raised door curtain, and the door was also half-closed.

Gilles put down the tea bowl, turned around and looked out the window, seeing that all the maids were listening outside the corridor, and the yard was quiet, so she beckoned to He Zhuo: "Come and talk."

He Zhuo had been prepared for a long time, before he moved his feet, his hand reached into his bosom, and soon he took out a piece of paper that was folded very tightly, opened it as he walked forward, and said in his mouth: "My maidservant. Everything is recorded here, please read it, master."

Gilles took the paper with a smile, looked at the amount of money on it, and felt that all the hard work these days had not been in vain.

"5000 taels." He Zhuo leaned closer, his voice was as soft as a puff of smoke, blown by the east wind from the window, and it was blown into the apex of Gilles' heart.

5000 taels is a net profit.

Excluding the cost of purchasing "goods" from Li Nufang and those few good people, Gilles netted so much money from this transaction.

This is much faster than her selling animals to make money.

It's a pity that this is just a one-shot deal. When she returns to Changli, she will have no way to contact the human slave traders far away in the border town, and Changli's eyes are too complicated. People find that a bad reputation is not worth it.

Thinking of those people in Changli's family, Gilles felt a little depressed again.

However, when she turned her eyes to the account paper in front of her and saw the number written in black and white, she became elated again. road:
"Well, 5000 taels, exactly as I estimated."

While speaking, he habitually stretched his hand aside.

Hezhuo knew what he meant, and immediately turned to the cabinet next to him, brought counting chips, pens and ink, etc., and carefully grinded the ink beside him, while Gilles skillfully picked up the chips with one hand, and compared them with the paper. After checking the accounts, every time a sum is calculated and confirmed to be correct, he takes a pen and ink and draws a tick on the corresponding entry.

This is something she has been doing a lot lately.

No matter how many troubles she has, as long as she counts the income from the slave trade, and then thinks that the title she is about to acquire and that her blood and blood will be the next head of the Nadan family, her worries will disappear, and her heart will be peaceful and joyful .

It's a pity that today's day doesn't seem to be very good, she just settled two bills here, and a servant's report came from outside: "Master, Ali is asking to see you."

The smile on Jill's face froze immediately, and with another breath, her two thin eyebrows gradually turned from horizontal to vertical, and the joy in her eyes also quickly cooled.

If you don't come early or late, but come at this time to spoil people's interest, you are really a pair of master and servant that even a dog would hate.

Seeing that she was about to get annoyed again, He Zhuo hurriedly shook his head at her, and signaled to her the papers in hand with his mouth, while he quickly packed up his calculations, he raised his voice, "Let him wait."

The servant responded, and Hezhuo had already gathered the counting chips and was about to put them into the box, when suddenly there was a "snap", it was Gilles who slapped the brush on the inkstone and said angrily:

"What the hell is the dog head doing here again?"

After finishing speaking, she suddenly saw a lot of ink splashed on the edge of the inkstone, she immediately remembered that the ledger paper must not be dirty, and hurriedly held it in her hand again, when she saw that there were only a few spots of ink on it, she His complexion softened a bit.

He Zhuo put the counting chips into the cabinet, and persuaded her in a low voice: "I think there is something wrong, the master can just perfunctory a few words, and there is no need to be as knowledgeable as a dog slave."

Gilles sat there sulking with a nose not a nose and eyes not eyes, but he had to listen to the words.

It won't work if it's not perfunctory.

This Ali is Gude's confidant, and he is very talkative in the front yard. Now that Gude has gone to the camp, Ali guards his yard like an iron bucket, and Gilles is tempted again and again. , but always couldn't get in, and suffered a few times.

Gilles knows how powerful she is, and the human slave business in her hand was "snatched" from Goode secretly, so when she was in front of Ali, she didn't dare to make too much publicity, for fear of revealing Whereabouts come.

After cleaning up, He Zhuo ordered people to bring Ali into the courtyard.

Ah Li also knew the trick, after stepping into the gate of the courtyard, he didn't go further, but knelt down in front of the steps of the corridor from a distance, respectfully paid his respects, and said in his mouth: "My servant greets Da Furen." , Your Majesty is auspicious."

There is nothing lacking in etiquette, it can be seen that this ghost is very obedient, just as bad as his master.

Gilles cursed secretly in his heart, but with a smirk on his face, he sat on the front seat in the bright room and raised his arm falsely, motioning Ali to get up, then squeezed his throat and said:
"Hey, what kind of wind is blowing here today? It actually brought our steward Ali here. I haven't seen you running into our yard before. What's the matter?"

The yin and yang's strange words were already very polite to Gilles, but Ali was also straightforward, and said straight to the point:
"Go back to Da Furen, the Major General will return to the mansion in a few days, and I want to ask Da Furen for some Mu Na Hei Tai to sweep and sweep the yard, and I will return them when they are used up."

As the Lantern Festival is approaching, Zuo Shuai’s mansion has been extremely busy recently, all the servants in the house have been sent around by the Da Furen, and some servants in Mangtai and Gude’s courtyard have also been transferred to help, the two male masters are now in Daying, no one cares about this matter.

However, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the father and son will come back to show their faces, and their residence will naturally have to be cleaned up. It is not too much for Ali to ask a few servants to move them around.

Gilles originally planned to start arranging this matter, but at this time Ali took the initiative to come to the door, and she was happy to be a favor, but she didn't try to push him away. Even if she agreed, Ali proposed to pick someone in person , she also agreed.

Anyway, these munaheitai are all going to be human animals. During the time of raising them, they really spent a lot of rice and grain. Now that they are fully utilized, they can save a meal. Gilles wished he could make him pick more It's better for a few people to leave.

Holding the bronze medal given by Gilles, Ali went to the firewood room to pick out four men, four women and eight slaves. After counting and drawing, he took the eight back to Gude's yard, roughly assigned errands, and finally singled them out. A female slave asked:

"Can you grow flowers and plants?"

That slave girl is Lian Er.

At this time when she heard the words, she suppressed the joy in her heart, put on a timid look, and said timidly: "The servant girl has been working in the greenhouse for a few days."

　One more drifting away......
