Beautiful step by step

Chapter 116

The weather in Youzhou is special, and the products are not as rich as those in the capital. It is not difficult to ask about the approximate prices.

However, Wei Wei didn't expect that it took less than an hour for Wei's mother and Gu Yu to inquire about the price, but it took her two full hours to sort it out.

It took a while for Yan Heng to come back after she finished tidying up, and his face, which was still radiant even after staying up all night in the past, showed fatigue for the first time.

"Things are not going well?"

Yan Heng sighed: "The officials in the yamen are busy fighting the fire, and they shirk each other. Fortunately, I have the emperor's order, and finally I have a few capable people."

"Hand in hand?"

Facing Wei Wei's expectant eyes, Yan Heng's tired face shone with confidence.

"I didn't know much about the officials in Liangzhou when I first took office. Thanks to Governor Yuan's mediation, I finally appointed several capable generals under Wu Shangshu's command to assist in this matter."

That's good, handing over the two-hour results, Wei Wei showed helplessness.

"The crumpled pieces of paper below are the original data brought by my mother and the others. These people are worthy of being officials for many years, and they are quick and ruthless when they get in the way."

Yan Heng took it and looked at it one by one. There were thirty or forty kinds of materials such as rice, flour, grain and oil. At first glance, it seemed that the prices were not much different.After looking through the door, he didn't see the doorway, so he looked at Wei Wei suspiciously.

"Is there a problem here?"

Wei Wei randomly picked out two of them, and pointed to the item of pork: "Look, Ah Heng, the pork on this one is five cents a tael, but this one becomes 25 cents a tael. , the prices of rice, cabbage, and chestnut rice on the two sheets are exactly the same, and the words for pork are the same along the way, and so are the five in the back. These five price lists are exactly the same, most of the prices are the same, but there are always a few on each sheet. It’s surprisingly high. It was already dark when the decree came down, and I’m already tired after working hard all day to put out the fire, and it’s easy to be distracted when I’m exhausted. Seeing that all the cards are similar, I probably just picked one at random.”

Yan Heng's face was solemn: "Fortunately, Ah Mao is here."

Wei Wei said with emotion: "Fortunately, I have done accounting before and have experience in this field. Most of Liangzhou's account books over the years have used this kind of cover-up method. An account book has [-] pages, and the first [-] pages and the last [-] pages are very different. Normally, in the twenty pages in the middle, there are always a few pages where the numbers in the bottom columns start to be inflated. Generally, the accounting office checks the accounts according to the original, and take a rest after the calculation."

Yan Heng went on to say: "At the beginning, the accountant was very focused. After about an hour after twenty pages, his concentration began to decline. It was no problem to scan the front. When he saw the last few lines, he just wanted to turn the page quickly. The most careless time."

"That's it. When I look at the thin pages at the end, I feel that the burden will be relieved, and I will unconsciously relax. This way, the efficiency will be very high, and it will not be easy to make mistakes. The accounting method of the Liangzhou government office, It is completely aimed at human psychology. After discovering this, I didn’t look at the front and back at all when closing the accounts. I only looked at the bottom few lines in the middle part. It is for this reason that I made the comparative account book in a short time. .”

It turned out that this was the case, Yan Heng suddenly realized, and he said why Ah Mao took out the account book so confidently on the day Sheng Jia arrived.

"I have to repeat what I said just now, fortunately there is Ah Mao here."

The deep gratitude in Yan Heng's words dispelled some of Wei Wei's melancholy, and she relaxed her brows a little. She said angrily, "Prince Duan has gone back to the capital to check the accounts, and sooner or later the secret of Liangzhou city's accounts will be found out. Let the emperor see that this is exactly the same." What would you think about this method? These people are simply forcing you into a dead end."

This wasn't just forcing him into a dead end, Yan Heng's heart was covered with a cloud, but he calmly said with relief on his face: "Ah Mao Bingxue is smart, will it be alright now?"

"Fortunately, I kept an eye out."

"Ah Mao was right before I left the house: You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. I will act carefully."

After making the promise, Yan Heng looked at the moonlight outside the yurt: "It's getting late, I'm going to boil the bath water for Ah Mao."

Wei Wei hurriedly stopped him, pointing to the bathtub in the corner: "I just washed it after I finished my busy work, and it was the water that was boiled by the servant at home."

After a pause, she made up her mind, and then she discussed: "Ah Heng is now the commander. In the future, let the servants do small things like cooking and boiling water."

Confused, Yan Heng said in confusion: "What's wrong with Ah Mao? I promised my mother would take good care of you, and this has nothing to do with the commander."

Seeing his seriousness, Wei Wei felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.From the first sight in the tooth shop, while she was shocked by his exquisite facial features, what impressed her most was the calmness of the young man that was completely incompatible with his age.Although they have been married for a short time now, they have experienced more ups and downs than other couples who have been together for several years.Among them, Yan Heng also used his actions time and time again to prove that she was not wrong about the person back then.

Now he is already a command envoy, although the word "generation" is added in front of it, but considering his age, it is amazing enough to temporarily act as a third-rank official.He has succeeded to this point, and he is willing to boil bath water for her.For a moment, Wei Wei felt that the relationship between the two of them was complete, even more complete than the pair of jade rings they had been wearing all the time.

"It's not because of the official position itself, but because you will definitely get busier and busier in the future. Instead of waiting for you to get busy in the future, and you don't even have time to have a meal with me at home, why don't I propose it now and slowly start to adapt."

It turned out that Ah Mao had already thought so far ahead... Yan Heng had mixed feelings in his heart.

"There won't be that day."

Eyes met, Yan Heng uttered these words word by word almost as if swearing, he turned and walked behind the screen, and soon there was the rustling sound of him undressing.

After being dazed for a moment, the sound of water splashing came, Wei Wei frowned: "You... that bath water is already a little cold, and I've used it before."

Soaking in the bath water full of daughter-in-law's smell, Yan Heng squinted his eyes comfortably after a tiring day.

"I'm not afraid of the cold, the water temperature is just right now, Ah Mao don't sleep, just wait for me outside."

"what?"

"I'll tell you when I go out."

When he came back in the afternoon, Yan Heng had already washed the black briquettes from the firefighting, so he would soak it in and rinse it casually.After taking a combat shower, he wiped it off casually, and walked out with only his shirt on.Glancing at his daughter-in-law's position, he saw her sitting in front of the candlelight flipping through a book he borrowed from somewhere, and he scooped up the dirty water and slipped it out.

After tidying up the tub and coming in, Yan Heng lay down on the blanket in a big shape, and after covering the quilt, he stared at his wife intently.

Looking at beauties under the lamp has a special charm. Ah Mao was born extremely beautiful, and her side face under the flickering candlelight makes people very excited.Staring straight at it like this, Yan Heng was dumbfounded.

The scorching gaze came, and Wei Wei, who was not used to reading ancient texts in traditional Chinese characters vertically, would not even be able to pretend.Seeing that his gaze had not moved away for a long time, she finally couldn't help but stare back.

"Why does Ah Heng keep looking at me?"

With an embarrassed look on his face, Yan Heng withdrew his gaze and rolled to the side: "It's getting late, it's time for Ah Mao to go to bed."

Wei Wei yawned: "I'm so sleepy, it's time to sleep. I seem to have forgotten something?"

Sitting down and taking off the soft shoes specially used in the tent, Wei Wei slapped his head just as he was about to get into bed: "I remember, you asked me to wait outside, what's the matter?"

"You come in first."

Seeing him patting the quilt with an expectant face, Wei Wei clutched his chest: "You... don't think so."

With her arms curled up, her elbows covering her chest, Wei Wei supported her hot cheeks.How dare she say the following words, what if he really wants to do that?The sound insulation of felt tents is almost zero, and the tents here are so dense.She only has one hand, whose mouth should be covered then?

"Ah, come in first, and I'll tell you what's going on."

Hearing his seductive tone, Wei Wei finally couldn't bear it.She took off her jacket and opened a seam. She lay on the side farthest from him, looking at him expectantly.

Putting the quilt over her body, Yan Heng asked, "Is it warm?"

The quilt also contained the temperature of his body. Yan Heng practiced martial arts all year round, and his firepower was stronger than that of ordinary people, and his body temperature was a little higher than hers.She will lie down now, and the blanket will be warm and cozy. In the weather that alternates between late autumn and early winter, having such a ready-made warm blanket is really a beautiful thing before going to bed.

"It's very warm." He yawned again, lying flat and let the tiredness hit him, Wei Wei's voice was a little confused: "What's the matter, Ah Heng, you should tell me quickly."

The person next to her tucked her quilt and whispered, "I'm done."

That's all for now?Could it be that she didn't hear it just now?It didn't seem right, closing his eyes, the whole process just now flashed through Wei Wei's half-asleep and half-awake mind.For a moment, she was so blessed that Yan Heng never asked her to wait because he had something to do.What he said at the time was "don't sleep yet", but now he gave her a warm bed.

"Aheng, do you want me to wait for you to warm the bed?"

Wei Kui turned over and narrowed her eyes, the candle had already been extinguished, and the tent was dark, so she couldn't see Yan Heng's face clearly.

In the darkness, a big hand caressed her cheek, and Yan Heng whispered: "I thought about it when I just took a shower, Ah Mao is right, there may be many things to be busy in the future, and sometimes I may come back too late to stay late Boil the bath water."

Why didn't you say it again, Wei Wei sneered and said: "So Ah Heng thought of going to bed later, and warming the bed for me when I came back late?"

Although Wu Qihei couldn't see Yan Heng's face clearly, but at this moment, she still felt his acknowledgment from the bottom of her heart.

Wrapped in the quilt, she rushed over like a caterpillar, rubbed and fixed his face with both hands, Wei Wei poked her head, and randomly pressed a kiss on his face.

"It's been a long time since I stamped, Ah Heng, thank you."

What responded to her was the arms of the person opposite the caterpillar, and the same gentle kiss on the forehead: "It will be very cold at night on the grassland, and sleeping on the ground is even colder than sleeping on the bed. That's it, go to sleep."

Quietly moving the quilt a crack, Wei Wei slipped into his arms.The continuous heat coming from Yan Heng's body completely dispelled the coolness from the ground.Tiredness overwhelmed Li Zhi, wandering in the sweet atmosphere he created, Wei Wei fell asleep with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
