Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Chapter 19 Abacus Lee

Filled with anger, Ximenqing and Xiao Tianqing rushed back all the way, jumped off the horse at the gate of the mansion, and ordered: "Wait for me in the lobby." Then he walked towards the gate with a calm face.

The young guards at the door saw their master's face sinking like water, and they were all terrified. They didn't know where to put their hands and feet. They all knew that Ximen Qing had a bad temper. My lord is in no good mood.

When Pan Jinlian was making a fuss in the morning, the butler ordered the door to be closed tightly, so these boys didn't know that Ximen Qing had saved Wu Dalang.

"Brother, the master's face is very gloomy, I don't know who is going to be beaten today?" A young servant was trembling and couldn't even walk.

"Stop talking nonsense, open the door quickly." The older boy scolded: "Hurry up! If you are slow, you will be the first to be whipped!"

The little servant smiled wryly, "Brother, I'm so scared that I can't move my legs..."

"Trash Dim Sum!" The older boy pushed the boy aside, and opened the door with the other boys, just in time for Ximen Qing to stride in.

Just as Ximen Qing was about to enter the door, he stopped suddenly and swept away the young servants on the spot. Everyone was terrified, and then he pointed casually: "You! Go and call the accountant to the lobby to wait for me!" Stay, go straight to the door and go inside.

"Accounter?" The boys breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they hadn't been whipped, and the timid boys got goosebumps from fright, so they wiped their arms: "My God, my lord!" Look at it for a while, I almost pee out!"

"Useless goods! You only know how to eat!" The slightly older boy cursed and went in to find the accountant.

The accountant's surname is Li, and he is almost 50 years old this year. He has been working as the accountant in Ximen's house since Ximenda's time. Because of his abacus tricks, the whole family called him "Abacus Li".

"What? Master called me?" Abacus Li squinted his eyes and stroked his beard, then looked at the boy in front of him: "Don't scare me! Master never calls me. Just tell me, Master told you to call me In the past, what happened?"

The boy rolled his eyes and thought, "You're still putting on airs. When the master whips you down, I'm afraid there will be shit out of it."

This abacus Li usually bullies the young servant and the servant girl by relying on his seniority in the mansion. He either asks the servant to beat his back and legs for him, or asks the servant girl to make the bed for him. Courageous, I didn't dare to do anything provocative, the most I could do was to take advantage of it and touch it.

This boy was also touched by him a few years ago, now he was asked by Abacus Li Yi, but he had an idea: "Why don't you coax him and make him lose face in front of the master."

"Abacus Li, you don't know yet." The servant made a mysterious look: "Master thinks that there are too many older maids in the mansion recently, and he wants to find someone to marry, so he may ask you to come over, just to talk to you." Family."

"What? Then I have to hurry!" Abacus Li was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. Hearing this "insider information", he hurriedly put on his shoes and went to the ground. Unexpectedly, after sitting cross-legged for a long time, his Qi and blood were blocked, and half of his legs were numb. When Abacus Li heard the news, he couldn't care less, and barely limped out of the door: "Dongmei! You have to wait for me!"

"Bah!" The boy looked at Abacus Li's limping back, and spat fiercely on the ground: "Don't rush to die, even the third leg will be discounted for you!"

Abacus Li came out of the house, full of joy, even the air smelled sweet, he moved his numb legs and feet while walking, and his blood flowed in a few steps, he quickly shrank his neck and trot towards the living room .

At the door, there was no servant who often waited on him. Instead, there were Shutonger and Huatonger who were serving in the study, standing like little door gods, expressionless. When they saw Abacus Li coming, they just gestured to tell him to hurry go in.

"Master, I'm so polite." Abacus Li felt like fifteen buckets in his heart, fluttering, not knowing what happened: "I heard that the master asked the younger one to talk about a marriage..."

"Marriage?" Ximen Qing showed his white teeth and smiled, "Abacus Li, did you eat something wrong this morning?"

"Uh..." Only now did Abacus Li realize that the boy was joking with him when he came over. This time, it seemed that Ximen Qing asked him to come here. It must be a bad thing. Could it be that something happened?

"Abacus Li." Ximen Qing said suddenly: "It is said that you have a good abacus and clear accounts. I will reconcile the accounts with you today."

"Account reconciliation?" Abacus Li felt that his back was sweating a little: "I don't know what account the master wants to reconcile. Wait for the younger one to go back to the account book, and slowly reconcile the account with the master."

As Abacus Li spoke, his eyes drifted towards the entrance of the hall: "Anyway, I have to find an opportunity to find Aunt Wu."

"Leave this kind of vulgar work to the servant!" Ximen Qing suddenly turned cloudy: "Come here, show the accountant the table and tea!"

The book boy and the painting boy at the door responded in unison, the one who moved the stool moved the stool, and the one who served the tea brought the tea.

Abacus Li's face muscles trembled, he sat tentatively, adjusted his posture for a long time, only dared to use the small half of his buttocks to prop up the stool, and did not drink while holding the teacup, his eyes were still looking outside the hall.

"Master, this account book is in a big box in the small house." Abacus Li said, "It's not easy to show it to others, so it's locked. It's better for me to get it myself."

"No need." Ximen Qing smiled indifferently: "Shutonger, go find two strong ones and bring the box over!"

"What?" Abacus Li trembled all over, and almost dropped the teacup on the ground, crying out in pain.

Ximen Qing picked up the teacup, looked at Abacus Li's trembling body, opened the lid of the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip slowly: "Abacus Li, did you feel unwell due to the evil wind? Shaking?"

Abacus Li froze when he heard this, but he stopped trembling, curled up on the stool, and didn't know what to think.

At this time, Xiao Tianqing came in with the account book of the pharmacy, put it on the table, and then stepped aside. Ximen Qing didn't open it, but only glanced at Abacus Li.

"Master, the box is here." The book boy strode into the hall, followed by two strong servants, carrying a large wooden box, and reported to Ximen Qinghui.

"Just put it there." Ximen Qing raised his chin, found a corner beside him, then dropped the teacup heavily on the table, and with a "ding" sound, Abacus Li trembled: "Abacus Li, Before opening the box, do you have anything to say?"

The muffled sound of "Boom!" was the sound of the box falling to the ground, followed by the sound of "Pacha", which was the trembling of Abacus Li's heart, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"Master!" Abacus Li didn't care about the broken porcelain all over the floor. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Ximenqing: "The little one has been in Ximen's house for 30 years. Chaos..."

"Huh?" Ximen Qing looked at Abacus Li and raised his head. There was already a bloody spot on his forehead, which was caused by the tiles on the ground.

"How dare you hide the matter now?" Ximen Qing pointed at Abacus Li: "You have a dog and you know how to take care of the house, you are a foodie!"

"Paint children!"

"Master, the little one is here!"

"Take the key and open the box! Take a look at the account books for the last three years!" Following Ximen Qing's shout, Abacus Li collapsed to the ground.

Hua Tong'er was also molested by Abacus Li last year. Hearing Ximen Qing's order, his face was full of disgust. He went up and kicked Abacus Li's ribs twice. These two kicks were extremely hard, and Abacus Li With two muffled snorts, Hua Tong'er took a copper key from Abacus Li's waist.

Inside the box were twenty or thirty ledgers, large and small, and a few parcels. Huatong'er also knew some words, so she flipped through them casually, found the ledgers of the last three years, and presented them to Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing didn't look at the ledger, but saw the package in the box from a distance: "Then what's in the package, open it and have a look!"

The book boy went up and brought out a package, which was extremely overwhelming. When he opened it, he couldn't help being shocked. It turned out that the package was full of copper coins, which looked like seventy or eighty coins: "This abacus Li is too courageous." When I grow up, I even get the money and put it with the account book like this, and I'm not afraid of people knowing."

"Open them all!" Ximen Qing rushed up angrily, looking at Abacus Li who was lying on the ground like a mangy dog: "My Ximen family treats you very well, I raise you twice a month, and you dare to take it secretly!"

"Master, there are five parcels in total." Shu Tong'er opened the parcels one by one and clicked: "The total is probably no less than four hundred strings!"

"Three hundred guan!" Ximen Qing stood up, looked at the copper coins in the five packages, and sneered twice: "Abacus Li, you are good enough."

Abacus Li didn't know where the spirit came from, and suddenly got up and kowtowed: "Master, this is all the hard-earned money saved by the villain every month, and I also put out some loans outside. I have saved this for 30 years. The villain Do things cleanly and without selfishness."

"Puchi!" Ximen Qing seemed to have heard a big joke, and ruthlessly laughed at Abacus Li's statement: "Twice a month, 24 a year, 30 years without eating or drinking, a total of 720 guan, in the box Four hundred guan?"

Abacus Li heard that Ximen Qing calculated for him very fluently, and he was extremely surprised. He had to know that he, an accountant, would have to pull out his abacus a few times if he wanted to do the calculations like this. No, is this still the Ximen Qing who spent the whole day drinking and drinking?

"Master, there's this!" Shu Tong'er had sharp eyes, and took out two stacked papers from one of the ledgers, and showed them to Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing opened it and glanced at it, then threw it directly in front of Abacus Li: "Oh, forget about it."
