Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 190 Busy Year-End

"Second Master..."

"Second Master..."

This pair of Bi people is happy because they met such a master as Xue Hong.The two of them just want to know, can they repay this kindness with all their loyalty for the rest of their lives?

After settling Zhuxi and Dieer's affairs, it was the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the new year was coming again.And this twelfth lunar month, one thing is destined, that is: Xue Hong is very busy.

The previous dynasty was unstable, and the ministers who supported the restoration of the abolished prince Yinfeng as the reserve and the ministers who supported the establishment of the eighth master Yinhu as the reserve formed two parties, arguing in the court all day long.

The fourth master's strategy is mainly to defeat the Eighth Master's party.Because he felt that the crown prince had already been abolished once, which showed that Lord Kangxi was extremely disappointed with the crown prince. Although the eighth master had been deposed once, he was reinstated in a short period of time, which shows that he is a very threatening opponent.

Lord Kangxi's dissatisfaction with Baye lies in Zhang Mingde's approval of Baye as an emperor, and because Baye has long sleeves and good dance skills, which has attracted constant factional disputes among the ministers in the court.But Lord Kangxi still cared about this son, and he was so controlled and dealt with so harshly on the ministers who participated in the party struggle, all because he still had expectations for the eighth elder brother Yinhu, and reprimanded him for hoping that he would change.If he really gave up, it would be as merciless as treating the deposed prince.

What the Fourth Master Yinzhen has to do is to deepen Emperor Kangxi's prejudice against the Eighth Master during the conflict between the two factions, so that he can be the one reaping the benefits.Because of this, Xue Yi was mostly away from home at the end of the year. Instead, he often went to Zhang Tingyu's house and couldn't take care of family matters.

And this year, Xue Pan also practiced outside, and all the foreign affairs of the mansion fell on Xue Hong's shoulders, so it's no wonder he's not busy!First of all, Mrs. Xue made all the preparations for the New Year, and compiled a list, which was filled with all the things that the mansion needed for the New Year.From clothing and jewelry to food and play equipment, as long as it is short in the house, Xue Hong will go to the shop in Beijing to order and buy it.Needless to say, there are some in Xue's shop, some things that are not in the shop, Xue Hong has to buy by himself.Hey, with so many things, it really gave Xue Hong a taste of shopping.

Then there is the thing in the shop.

Xue Hong first collected the internal accounts of various stores, and then urged to settle the external accounts of various stores.The numbers on the ancient ledgers were all written in Chinese, and Xue Hong didn’t know how to make calculations, so he had no choice but to draw a few tables in the space, convert the bills of different shops into Arabic numbers and fill them in the tables to calculate by hand.Hey, I really miss the excel form, the result can be calculated with just one click, why is it so troublesome?
Fortunately, Xue Hong's mathematics did not become a snack and was swallowed. He quickly figured out the account books of more than a dozen shops in Xue Jiajing.After reconciling the accounts with Xue Ping and distributing the New Year's red envelopes to the shop guys, the shop's work is basically done.

Then, after handing the money and account books collected from the shop to his father, he turned around and went to meet the village leaders again.

Zhuangzi from all over the country have already sent things to the mansion one after another, and the people who have their own accounting books have recorded all the things sent in one by one. Xue Hong only brought Zhuxitang [-] After checking the quantity and quality, he ordered the things to be put away.

After finishing all this, Xue Hong only felt that the time passed quickly, and it was already approaching the end of the twelfth lunar month.

On this day, Xue Yi returned home early for the first time. Xue Hong hurriedly asked him how his official duties were. Xue Yi said, "It's more than half done. Now the Holy Majesty's attitude towards Ba Ye is 12 points. There will be further punishment for the Baye Party."

Xue Hong was surprised and said: "Is it still dealt with? Hasn't the emperor already dealt with so many before? Why still...?"

Xue Yidao: "Those are just decisions made by the emperor to remind the eighth elder brother. This time, I'm afraid the eighth elder brother will not be so lucky."

Xue Hong nodded: "It should be so. But, in front of the emperor, isn't Fourth Master..."

Before Xue Hong finished speaking, Xue Yi said: "Are you stupid for thinking of our fourth master? He won't destroy his image in Huang Ama's heart. It's all about pleading for mercy for his brothers when necessary. And the more fourth master assured the emperor that the eighth master had no disobedience, the deeper the emperor's suspicion of the eighth master, and the wider the scope of investigation and punishment. In the past, didn’t all elder brothers envy the many people around Ba Ye? Now it’s different. The gang of miscellaneous cloud dragons around Ba Ye have aroused the boundless anger of the Holy One. I think the Eighth Prince’s Mansion is very sad this year. .”

"Has reached this level?"

In fact, counting the days, Xue Hong also knew that the conflict between Nine Dragons and the Inheritance had reached a moment of intensification.He racked his brains and chose to support the fourth master's party for the Xue family because he knew the outcome of the game a long time ago. In order for Yinzhen to win the final victory, Xue Hong also made all the efforts he could do so far.

Originally, I fantasized that I would have the opportunity to follow Yinzhen's side to advise him on his succession, but now it seems that the power of history is still very large. Regardless of whether Xue Hong helps, if the throne is destined to belong to Yinzhen, then even if it is Even if you want to run away, you can't.

With a smile on the corner of Xue Hong's mouth, Xue Yi said: "You have worked hard on the big and small things in the house this year. Fortunately, you are capable, otherwise your mother will have to show up to deal with these things this year, so as a father... "

"Hey, what are you saying, father? Although I am younger, I will be ten years old after the Chinese New Year. I should always help the family with some things. Besides, father is just delayed by something this year, and occasionally leaves it to me. It’s just some things that I can do. But father, Hong’er only needs to know the basics of these business matters. I’ll wait for my eldest brother to come back tomorrow, so I’d better leave this business to him.”

Xue Hong showed a bitter face while talking, Xue Yi was surprised: "What's the matter? Can't you do these things? But I heard Xue Ping say that you can handle it with ease, right?"

Xue Hong shook her head violently: "That's not true. It's just that the people in that shop, or the people in the village, they like Big Brother more than me. I don't know how many people I met on this trip asked about Big Brother. It can be seen that the eldest brother has been doing the things his father entrusted to him with great care in the past few years, and he is willing to pay attention to the hardships of the subordinates, which is very popular. So let the elder brother do it, it will be more effective with half the effort."

Xue Yi nodded: "That's the reason. But, you don't have to be so opposed to the store, right? You probably know the income of our store this year, don't you envy your elder brother at all? In the future, all our business will be handed over to you." Would you like to give it to your elder brother?"
