Chapter 222
"Okay, don't worry, my brother's life is hard, even the Lord of the Underworld will not accept my life. You just live your life in Chang'an City, and raise a fat and white one, and wait for my brother to come back to give you my life." Just bring something nice."

Shan Xiaoying smiled and rubbed her head.

White and fat...

Qin Zhao's parting sorrow was like a balloon poked by a needle, and disappeared with a "swish".

When she is a pig, still fat and fat, waiting to be slaughtered?

"I'm leaving. Remember to write letters from time to time... Don't send them to the palace, just send them to Xinchangfang. Ah Shu will hand them over to Qin Feng."

Shan Xiaoying smiled and said hello.

After two goodbyes, Shan Xiaoying just stood there under the moonlight, only waiting for Qin Zhaoxing to go far away, and under the faint moonlight, she was no longer there, then turned and went back to the courtyard.

The night in Chang'an City is extremely quiet.Although Xinchangfang is very close to Dongshi, due to the curfew, there are not many pedestrians at night.

Qin Zhao looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and Lichou, who had run away, flew back again.

It has been a long time since I walked on the street under the moonlight like this, and no one spoke in silence. Qin Feng and Qin He were in the front, Qin Ming and Qin Lei were behind, and I only heard the "tick" of the horse's hoof falling on the stone path between the streets. There was the sound of squeaks, and the "squeak" sound of the carriage wheel behind Zisu and Yun Xiang rolling over the stone path.

She felt a little sour.

There seems to be a lot of parting recently.

My husband is gone, my cousin is gone, even my elder brother will leave the capital in a month or so.

It's like an empty space in my heart.Most of the people she cares about are not around.She just wants to be able to accompany those she loves in the quiet years, and live happily in the sunrise and sunset, but it is always so difficult.

But parting is not just for reunion.

Back at the palace, because it was too late, Qin Zhao did not go to greet the old concubine and Princess Jinyang, but stopped by Yinyuan on the way, and asked the doorkeeper woman, knowing that Qin Zhe was at home, the woman thought that Fuling County The Lord wanted to go in and talk, and was about to let someone report it, but Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, waved his hand, and went straight back to Fucui Pavilion.

Early the next morning, Qin Zhao got up and went to Rongshou Residence first. Qin Zhe had arrived early, Changning and Yixing were also there, not only them, but also Qin Huaiyu, Qin Huaiyong, Princess Yunhe and Qin Han. Qin Yun and the others are also there.It's just that Princess Jinyang is probably listening to Chang Shi and the stewards' reply, which is not the case.

Qin Zhao was the last one to arrive.

He went forward to salute the old concubine first, then saluted Qin Huaiyu, Qin Huaiyong and Yunhe, and said with a smile, "Azhao came to pay my respects to my grandmother, I met my uncle, my father, and goodbye to the princess. I came back late, afraid of disturbing my grandmother's rest, so I didn't dare to visit my grandmother, so I came here early this morning, and I didn't want to be the last one. It's really my granddaughter's rudeness."

The old concubine smiled and said: "Even if you go back to the city, it should be earlier. Why is it so late? You have traveled for half a day, and you are probably tired. How can grandma choose these gifts? Come and sit here with grandma. Tell grandma to take a good look at it."

Qin Zhao came to the door with a smile, sat obediently beside the old concubine, and nodded towards Changning and Yixing.

The old concubine looked at her twice, and said with a smile: "It's been a while, and I'm taller again, but it's darker than before, and now I look more and more like a son-in-law."

Qin Zhao also laughed: "The granddaughter is taller than ordinary girls, but she envies the third sister. Now she doesn't even dare to eat hard, for fear that she will grow too tall in the future."

The old concubine said angrily: "It's time to grow up, how can you not eat well? Why are you afraid of being tall? The children in our family are not short, so taller ones are better. Taller ones look better in dresses, don't they? "

Yixing on the side gave her a blank look, and said: "Grandmother, don't listen to this damn girl, she's just making fun of me for being short. This time I went to the Summer Resort with the emperor's grandfather and grandmother, and got a lot of rewards. I was thinking about it. For her, I left a lot of good things for her, and now I won’t give her any more.”

"Look at what the third sister said, where are you short? Ah Zhao is praising you for looking good. Since it is intended to be given to me, it is mine. You can't keep it private. I don't rely on it." Qin Zhao played a rascal .

Yixing stared: "How could someone like you be yours?" As he spoke, he turned to look at Qin Zhe, "Brother, Azhao is getting more and more unreasonable. You spoiled me this time. You decide for me."

Qin Zhe said with a smile: "Don't worry about this girl, what did she do to you later, you tell me, I will make it up to you twice."

After joking for a while, Zhizi came over and asked if he wanted breakfast.

Because Qin Huaiyu had to go out even though he was taking a rest, the old concubine saw that it was late, so she asked her to serve breakfast.

After breakfast, everyone left. Changning and Yixing then dragged Qin Zhao to Yulan Juli to talk. Princess Jinyang sent someone to call Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao knew that he was looking for her to check the accounts, so he had to say goodbye to the old concubine, and coaxed Yixing to play with her when he was free, so he followed Yan Su, who came to invite someone, to the meeting office in Jinyang .

When they arrived at the meeting hall, the maid served tea and then withdrew. The stewards of the accountant of the oil workshop who had come to pay the bills were waiting there, and they were replying to Jinyang. Qin Zhao saluted, and Princess Jinyang said: "I know you If you have to come back in two days, no one was sent to urge you. Now that the accounts have been sent back, you have to work harder in the past few days, and reconcile the accounts with these accountants. It needs to be sorted out before the fifteenth. I can send it to the account department to enter the account. Do you have any questions?"

[-]% of the annual profits of the Qin family's Youfang in Jizhou County, Gyeonggi Province are handed over to the court, so the accounts must be clear.Of the remaining [-]% of the profit, Qin Zhe took [-]% privately, the Princess Mansion took up two floors, and the remaining three floors went into the public account of the Prince's Mansion.

The accounts were constructed by Qin Zhao according to the financial system of later generations. The cost is divided into raw material cost, labor cost, workshop construction cost allocation and depreciation, equipment depreciation allocation, transportation cost, etc.There is another set of sales accounts, which are very clear and clear. It is naturally much faster to set up the accounts and tie the two accounts together.She also taught the accountant how to keep accounts in Arabic numerals, which saved a lot of time.There is still a little half a month before the fifteenth, which is quite sufficient.

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "If there is no problem with the calculation and the manpower is sufficient, three days will be enough if it is fast. Two more days for review, at most five days, will not delay His Highness's business."

Jin Yang said with a smile: "It's the best, but I can't let you idle, the accounting officers of our prince's mansion and the princess' mansion, I will let them come to you later, and you will take stock of the accounts of the two mansions." one time."

The accounts of the same oil workshop are different every quarter, but the general ledgers of the two mansions are counted every six months.And it is much more complicated than the accounts of the oil workshop.To calculate the income and expenditure of the two governments, I am afraid that it will not be completed in less than half a month.Fortunately, she only needs to take care of the accounts, but doesn't need to check the warehouse or anything, so it's not too much effort.

Qin Zhao responded with a smile.

Because I was thinking about Li Sanniang, thinking that Bajie had left, Sanniang would be alone in the Luo family farm, and I was afraid that she would be very lonely, so I thought about going out of the city to visit her again before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The accounts will be sorted out.

Then he also settled down to sort out the accounts.

After five days like this, he handed over the accounts of the oil workshop as scheduled, and then took stock of the accounts of the Wang Mansion. After finishing the accounts of the Wang Mansion, he went to the Princess Mansion.The accounts of the Prince's Mansion are fine, but the Princess Mansion has some discrepancies.Qin Zhao only manages the accounts, marking out the discrepancies, and doesn't ask too many questions.How to deal with it is Princess Jinyang's own business.She was not a talkative person.It was already August when the accounts of the Princess Mansion were handed over.

During this period, he got up early almost every day, had breakfast and started to work hard, and sometimes had to catch the night shift at night. After paying the accounts, Qin Zhaozhen wished he could sleep for two days, only feeling that his bones were rusted.

Because there was only Zisu in Fucui Pavilion, a personal maid, followed back to the city, and Zisu was too busy to touch the ground. Seeing that Qin Zhao was finally free, she was not allowed to be disturbed. On the first day, Qin Zhao slept until Shang Get up in the afternoon.It was because Zisu was afraid that she would sleep too much and would suffer from insomnia at night, so she dragged her out of bed cruelly.

After washing up and having lunch, Qin Zhao felt that he had been sluggish for many days, and finally he had some signs of cheering up.

After walking for a while under the shade of the trees in the yard, Qin Zhaocai summoned Zisu to ask, "What's the matter with this passage?"

Zisu smiled and said, "What's the matter? The cousin of the Duke of Lu's mansion, Miss Biao, came. You happened to go to the Princess Mansion. The Biao and Miss Biao knew you were busy, so they only asked the servant to call you back." I have time to invite the two of them to play, and there are also a few letters from the little cousin of Uncle Pei's family, and the slaves will take care of them. In addition, the old man of Yue State has left you busy, so go and visit The Duke of Yue said that he has something to tell the Princess."

Presumably Grandpa Luo must have asked her about the "auspiciousness" during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qin Zhao then asked: "Brother hasn't left the house all this time? Even if there is something to do, Grandpa Luo should ask Brother to ask questions. Why do you let me go?"

She has been busy dealing with the accounts of the oil workshop and the two governments, but she has forgotten the important matter of "Xiangrui".It's just that this matter was originally discussed by the two old princes and uncle, even Qin Zhe probably only made suggestions, and she just made soy sauce.But things happened to her family, and she is a vested interest, and it seems that she should also care about those who care.

So Zisu laughed and said, "How does this servant know? If the princess is fine tomorrow, he will go to the mansion of the Duke of Yue to visit the old Duke of Fanluo, and he will know. Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so we should take care of the cloud." Chang and Yunyi are the two maids who should be taken back to the mansion, and let them live in the farm for a while, their hearts will be wild."

Qin Zhao waved his hand and replied, "Let them stay on the farm first, for a moment I'm afraid they won't come back. Do you know if brother is at home today? If he is, I'll go and see him right now."

Zisu shook her head: "In the morning, Yun wanted to come over and ask me for a drawing. He said that he wanted to cut two pieces of personal clothing for Mr. Lang. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Lang returned to Beiting so that he could take them with him. Because it was for Mr. Lang, Yun wanted to do his best. , is close-fitting, and has embroidered patterns on it, and she thinks the previous look is not good. Didn’t Lan Niang leave a lot of patterns, so she came to ask for it. I heard Yun wanted to say that Lang Jun went out early in the morning If the princess has something to do with looking for your lord, the servant will send someone to the Yin Garden to talk to Yun Xiang, and when the lord comes back, he will let someone report back."

Qin Zhao smiled and said "yes".

Nothing to do, Qin Zhao rested for a while, and then went to Yulanjuli.

The lotus flowers all over the lake have been ruined, and there is no longer the feeling of green waves passing by in the summer, but in the bright autumn sun, there is another artistic conception that makes people deeply intoxicated.

In such a blink of an eye, it has entered autumn.

Cousin and Bajie have been away for more than [-] days, but they don't know where they have gone.

And I don't know if I will meet my husband Shu Hao on the way.

Mr. Bajie is an acquaintance, and he also met his cousin Shan Xiaoying once. If they meet, they can take care of each other on the way. However, Mr. Bajie has traveled a few days earlier, and Bajie and the others are carrying goods again. I'm afraid that he didn't go so fast, and he must not be able to catch up.

She is busy with accounting these days, so she doesn't have time to worry about parting.

But the sun is so bright and bright, reflecting the lake full of lotus, there is even a hint of autumn bleakness.

The servants wanted to clean up the lake, but Qin Zhao refused.

When watching Dream of Red Mansions, I realized that there is still a poem in the world called "Hear the sound of the rain falling from the lotus". Although she is not as literary and artistic as sister Lin, she still loves the artistic conception.And looking at the residual lotus in winter is more thought-provoking than the bare ice.

Because in autumn, it was already afternoon, and there was a little coolness in the wind.

Qin Zhao wore Suai's red gown and a small golden crown on his head, and went to live in Yulan alone without a maid.

On the way, I ran into Qin Han.

She is an older sister, so she doesn't need to take the initiative to say hello.

Even for Qin Huayong and Yunhe, Qin Zhao would not care about a child, but what Qin Han did really made her dislike it.Qin Zhao didn't want to cause trouble, and if Qin Han didn't say hello, she just pretended not to see it.However, Qin Han changed from his previous savage arrogance, and he was blessed from afar, so Qin Zhao could only nod with a smile.

As the time was approaching, Qin Han had a cute smile on his face, and said sweetly: "I don't see my fourth sister these days. I heard that my fourth sister helps my aunt with housework. Ah Han wants to find my fourth sister to play with. Dare to disturb the fourth sister to do business, the fourth sister has to go out and walk around today, but she is done with her work? Then Ah Han can find her sister to talk with in the future? Grandma always praises the fourth sister for her ability, and Ah Han also wants to learn from the fourth sister Even my mother-in-law also relies heavily on the fourth sister. If Ah Han can have the fourth sister as capable in the future, my father and mother will be happy. Even my grandmother can love Ah Han a little more. For the sake of Ah Han's youth, the fourth sister thinks, don't worry about it with Ah Han, Ah Han gave fourth sister a gift."

As he spoke, he blessed the voice again.

Envy's beauties, no matter male or female, are all peerless and good-looking. Although Qin Huaiyong's character is scumbag, but in terms of appearance, he is also a beautiful uncle. His whole body is really not as good as Wei Zi's version of Yue Buqun in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" The best scum, the end is elegant as a fairy, Yun and the princess Murong's family can be regarded as peerless elegance, even though Qin Han is seven or eight years old, he has already shown the signs of a beauty.Slender eyes, a small melon-like face, creamy skin, white teeth and red lips, Princess Yunhe puts all her heart into her dressing, only Qin Han is like this, there are very few people in Chang'an City, and when she grows up, probably She is also a stunning beauty who is famous in the capital, and she has a bright and sweet smile on her face at this time, which is really hard to hate.

Qin Zhao really didn't like the shrewd calculation in her eyes.

But he sighed in his heart, after all, he was young, he hadn't cultivated to the extreme, and he didn't know how to hide his deepest desires.It's just that what happened before happened, and now this child can still pretend that nothing happened, as if that scene was just a small wave in the thousands of miles of blue water, or like the wind passing without trace, which made Qin Qin Zhao couldn't help but look sideways at her at such an age, who was able to act so breezy.

She doesn't intend to act like a sister and sister, and she doesn't think that she will get an equivalent return if she treats Qin Han with sincerity.What's more, those sudden and vague memories of her mother's single-thought spirit gave her a glimpse of the truth.

Qin Huaiyong, even though his blood was flowing on her body, she was still her mother-killing enemy.Even though she didn't have a deep mother-daughter affection for Shan Nian, but in her half-dream and half-awake memory, that beautiful and gentle young woman gave her a chance to survive in this world with her life, just for this, she It is impossible not to avenge her.And if Yun Heruo also participated in the harm of her mother, then that couple is her and Qin Zhe's enemies. The children of these two people, even she herself is bleeding from Qin Huaiyong's body. I can't even get close.

She was only waiting for the day when the matter finally came to light, the day when she and Qin Zhi were full-fledged and no longer controlled by others.

Qin Zhao smiled faintly: "Why should you be humble, Ah Han? You are also very good. Grandma just pities me for losing my mother since I was young, so I have more pity than me. Is there really anything worth learning from me? I still need to go Yulan Residence, let’s leave now, and talk to Ah Han when I have free time.”

After finishing speaking, I want to leave.

Qin Han was younger than her in terms of status, and younger than her in terms of age, so he had to make way sideways.

A group of maids who followed her were also busy sending them off.

Just waiting for Qin Zhao's figure to disappear, Qin Hanfang withdrew his slightly hostile gaze, pursed his lips, and said, "Let's go back."

How could the maids not know about her feud with Qin Zhao?But after staying in the palace for several months, they also knew that they would not offend this princess who was not often in the palace, so how could they dare to run into Qin Han's bad luck at this stall.He just silently followed behind Qin Han and went back to Sanshengju.

All the servants and maids in Yulan Juli knew that Princess Fuling was very close to Yixing, Changning. When they saw Qin Zhao's visit, they didn't need to inform them. , while fawning: "The county master is talking with the princess. If I know you are here, I will be so happy. The slaves don't need to be notified, but it will save the princess and so on."

Entering the courtyard where Chang Ning lived, Yan Hao, who was guarding the porch, greeted him hurriedly, and said with a smile: "I have seen the Princess."

Qin Zhao waved his hand: "Why be so polite, are the second and third sisters here?"

"I'm talking in the room, princess, please come with your slaves."

While speaking, he led Qin Zhao into the room, and said through the screen: "The princess, the county master, and the Fuling princess are here to see you."

I heard Yixing's crisp and singing voice from the room: "Hurry up and welcome in."

Qin Zhao turned around the screen, and saw Changning and Yixing sitting on the couch, drinking tea and talking, with a lot of paintings beside them.

After Qin Zhao greeted him, he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Finally, I have some free time. I'll come and see my sisters. What are you doing?"

Changning moved around: "Sisters of the family, you are more polite, come and sit down, isn't it autumn? Yixing said that she didn't like the autumn clothes prepared by mother, and she was pulling me to look at the drawing, thinking Let’s make two more sets, just a few days ago, my elder sister sent some high-quality Sichuan brocades, which are just right for autumn clothes, so you can pick them out, and we can make two sets together to wear.”
