Red makeup against the world

Chapter 858
Among the doorways, if the shopkeeper wants to play tricks, there are many ways.

For example, if the silk is soaked in water, there may be only five pieces.But the shopkeeper can write ten horses in the accounts, and report them as goods damage, and the shopkeeper will make a net profit of five horses.

But the five horses he earned will also be sold through the shop.At this time, it is necessary to check back and forth to know whether the damage to the goods is true.

There is another method that is more subtle.The loss of five horses is reported as five horses, but the loss is only ordinary plain satin, but it is reported as high-quality tribute satin.

But in a shop, there are not only shopkeepers, but also accountants and warehouses.The shopkeeper secretly manipulated the accounts, and it was unlikely to bribe everyone.

This secret money is not enough for everyone to share.

Therefore, as long as we compare the details of the warehouse entry and exit and income, and confirm it before and after, we can find out the inadequacy of the accounts.

This is called knowing how to read accounts and knowing how to read accounts.

Few servants understand the secrets of this.

Xu Wanzhen looked at Zhiyan, but seemed to see through her, the huge Fan Yang Lu family behind her.Lu's profound family heritage once again made her secretly startled.

A girl who was born next to Miss, knows how to massage the meridians, comb her hair, eat, read accounts, and can take care of her side in an incomparable manner without making a sound. She is simply an omnipotent internal manager.

It's just that Fengqi hasn't replied yet, and she doesn't dare to reuse Zhiyan.

"Young madam?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhiyan reminded her softly.

Xu Wanzhen came to her senses and said with a smile, "You know how to look at the accounts, so it's best of course."

He took a store account book to her, and said, "Read this book first, and use a red pen to mark out the problematic areas."

Ask Bai Yao to bring her a box of quill pens and the red paint she used for painting.

Zhiyan took it respectfully, held the account book and bowed and retreated.In her body, there is no arrogance that she thinks she will read the book, and some are just duty.

Xu Wanzhen didn't want to look at the accounts at first, but with Zhiyan's help, she put these account books aside and piled them aside.She thought like an ostrich, wait until Zhiyan finished reading this book.

Her thighs were sore, she was thinking about something, she closed her eyes and leaned on the soft couch, not wanting to move.When I met Wu Zhengxiang in the morning, the two of them couldn't say anything.She still has a lot of things to ask him, and it seems that she can only wait until she comes back at night.

Tonight, no matter what, you can't be fooled by him.You have to talk about things carefully, and then "eat supper" after you finish talking.

Seeing that Xu Wanzhen closed her eyes and rested her mind, Bai Yao went out quietly, and came in with green wheat to serve her.

After thinking for a while, Xu Wanzhen opened her eyes.Seeing that it was green wheat, she didn't ask much.She never intervenes in the shift between maidservants.

She will only be held accountable if something goes wrong.

Remembering that he had handed over the post to Duke Anguo's mansion, he asked Qingmai to pick out a few gifts from the warehouse so that she could take them with her.

Bai Yao walked out of Zhiyuan Residence along the veranda, and came to the place where the two stewards were entertained for dinner in the front yard.It was still early at this time, and the kitchen hadn't served the food yet.

The two stewards were sitting opposite each other drinking tea, and after paying the bill, the two felt relaxed.

Bai Yao saw the two of them from a distance, so she sent a servant to help her call the steward who was in charge of Zhuangzi out.

Seeing Bai Yao, the steward felt slightly surprised: "Miss, you want to see me?"

He had just seen her serving behind the Young Madam, so he thought she was a respectable maid.Why do you come out privately to see yourself?
Bai Shan lowered her eyes slightly to salute, she also knew that her actions were not in accordance with the rules, but she was really concerned about Bai Shan's safety.If there were no accidents, why would she ask the steward for a message?

"I want to ask, what happened to Bai Shan?"

Hearing this, the steward was a little hesitant, he was reprimanded by the young lady for this matter just now.

"When we were in the palace, Bai Shan and I were good sisters. I want to ask, if she needs help, maybe I can help."

The steward said: "Actually, what Young Madam said is right. It's just that Bai Shan doesn't want to marry Zhuangtou's son, so she begged me to bring her a message."

Bai Yao was silent.With Bai Shan's beauty, it's perfectly normal to cause such trouble when she comes to the hot spring village.

She thought that Bai Shan was being threatened by someone, or that she was short of money.For the former, she has the audacity to ask the young lady for help, and for the latter, she has saved some money, which can be entrusted to her.

And then, being neither, she just couldn't help.

She knew in her heart that Bai Shan was being used by the Chen family, and it was a great kindness for the Young Madam to spare her life, she would never be allowed to return to Zhiyuan.

Now Bai Shan knows that she is anxious about getting married?Why did you go early.

After stomping her feet, Bai Yao said, "I beg the steward to give her something for me. Be safe, maybe there is still a way out."

He took out another purse, handed it to the steward and said, "I only have this money on hand, I will trouble you to bring it to her."

A [-]% new silver bracelet took off from his hand, and said: "This is just as a reward for taking care of the steward."

The steward repeatedly refused, saying: "It's my honor to do things for the girl, I dare not say it's troublesome."

Bai Yao must ask him to accept her. She is the person next to the young lady, and she cannot owe this favor.

……

After taking a nap, Bai Yao waited on Xu Wanzhen to change her clothes for going out, put on a silver fox inner cloak, and got into the carriage at the second gate.

The guards around her were arranged by Wen Mulan.

When you arrive at An Guogong's mansion, first go to Mrs. Zhuang to say hello, Shi Jingfu is also here.

"We haven't seen each other for two months, why are you so skinny?" Unsurprisingly, Mrs. Zhuang also asked this question when she saw her.

Xu Wanzhen explained the reason, and said: "I'm fine, I've already asked the female doctor from Baicaotang to have a look."

"The female doctor in Baicaotang, but that Ling'er girl?" Shi Jingfu opened her eyes curiously.

"So sister Fu also knows her?"

Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "How can I not know, our family has been inviting doctors for many years. There is a female doctor in Baicaotang, so we invite them here."

Her daughter-in-law, Shi Jingze's wife, also came from a powerful family.However, after getting married, she had a miscarriage, and after that, she stayed in bed for a long time and consulted doctors for medicine for many years.

Speaking of which, Xu Wanzhen hasn't seen this imperial concubine yet.Because of her health, she did not attend all kinds of banquets.Even the routine in the palace ordered his wife to pay pilgrimage, but she was deliberately exempted.

"Ms. Ling'er comes here every month to ask my sister-in-law for her pulse. I think she has some skills. In the past two months, my sister-in-law's complexion looks much better." Shi Jingfu said.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Zhuang sent the two sisters to play by themselves.Shi Jingfu led Xu Wanzhen to her yard and asked her to play the piano.

Xu Wanzhen was in a good mood today, so she complied with her request. After burning incense and cleaning her hands, she concentrated on playing the piano.

The joyful sound of the piano, like spring water, came from Shi Jingfu's courtyard and floated over An Guogong's mansion.When it reaches the front yard, there is only a faint curling sound left.
