Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers
Chapter 273 The reason for acting
Qi Qingxi picked up the key to open the box, and when she saw the contents of the box, she couldn't help rubbing her forehead.
She remembered that Gu Yu said before that his great-grandfather donated most of the family's money to the Great Yu Army for military expenses.
I always hear people say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but a camel is a camel, even if it is skinny, it cannot be compared with a horse.
Qi Qingxi once again put her gaze inside the box.
A large stack of land title deeds, a large stack of bank notes and several treasury account books.
This is what Gu Yu said, does he still have some money?So what did the previous Gu family look like when they were rich?
Qi Qingxi made some money from those small businesses, which allowed her to buy a house and land in the capital. She thought she was quite capable at first, and the old man Gu was at least a Buffett-level figure in her original era.
She glanced at the account book in her hand and the unopened boxes on the ground, Qi Qingxi felt that she was busy.
Suddenly I miss the things like computers and mobile phones in her era. Pull out a list and click twice to count all the results.
Instead of slowly checking the records bit by bit like now.
That's right, she can design a form by herself, and then take it to the bookstore and ask them to print some in batches for engraving.
Looking at Arabic numerals saves a lot of time and effort compared to reading these one, two, three, four. Anyway, she only needs to understand the accounts summarized here.
It is not too late to deal with these books after sharpening the knife and chopping firewood by waiting for her to make the form in the afternoon.
Qi Qingxi ordered Gingko to put all the boxes on the ground into the east wing room first, and she also put the account book on hand back into the box, and then put the lock on again.
Knowing what was in the box this time, she didn't dare to put it in the corner of the bed.
Instead, they asked Ginkgo and Sequoia to help her put it in the closet. It can only be said that the closet is big enough, otherwise they would not be able to fit such a big box.
In the afternoon, she didn't plan to do other things, and concentrated on making the forms she needed, and then sent people to the bookstore to print them out.
"Ginkgo, follow me to the study and sharpen the ink for me."
After ordering Ginkgo, she suddenly thought of the other two maids who came from Ningguo Hou's Mansion.
Thinking of the scene she saw in Ningguohou's Mansion two days ago, and Sequoia told her that she was outside the door that day, Ah Jing kindly reminded her to be careful about being punished by Gu Yu.
Qi Qingxi seemed to understand why the two maids were acting in front of her.
"Sequoia, go and call A'an and Ajing into the study to see me."
Sequoia was ordered by Qi Qingxi to go out and call for someone, while Qi Qingxi took Ginkgo to the study next door to get busy.
Qi Qingxi asked Ginkgo to help her cut the large sheet of rice paper on the table into a suitable size.Sequoia also called the two servant girls, A Jing and A An.
Seeing that Qi Qingxi was cutting paper, Sequoia immediately stepped forward to take over the work she was doing. Qi Qingxi just took this opportunity to talk to A Jing and A An.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Ah Jing and Ah An looked at each other and shook their heads: "Returning to Madam, no."
Qi Qingxi looked into Ah Jing's eyes, smiled lightly and said, "Are you sure?"
Ah Jing pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Mrs. Hui, no."
"Oh?" Qi Qingxi's voice was a little suspicious, "Could it be that the person I saw in the back garden of Ningguohou's mansion in the back garden of the same family was Ah Jing? Get identical twin sisters?"
Hearing this, Ah Jing was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed continuously: "Madam, please forgive me, this slave is not a private meeting with someone else, that person is the slave's fiancé-in-law."
Over there, Ginkgo and Sequoia had already cut the rice paper, Qi Qingxi asked Sequoia to find her a wooden ruler, and ordered Ginkgo to help her grind the ink.
She looked at Ah Jing who was kneeling on the ground, saw that she was silent for a long time, and said: "Why did you stop, you continue talking."
Ah Jing held back her tears, raised her head slightly to look at Ah An standing beside her, and asked her for help with her eyes.
Ah An sighed softly, and knelt down beside Ah Jing: "Madam, forgive me."
Ah An spoke out to help Ah Jing explain the reason.
Both of them are the sons of the Marquis of Ningguo, and they were sent by their wife to serve in Gu Yu's courtyard a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, apart from Gu Liang, Gu Yu didn't allow anyone to serve her at all. The two of them had nothing else to do except cleaning.
Until the two of them received the news that Gu Yu was about to get married and wanted to open another house outside.
Ah Jing and Ah An thought that Gu Yu didn't need them in the past, so they probably wouldn't be allowed to serve in the new mansion, so they could stay in Ningguo Hou's mansion to reunite with their families.
And Ah Jing, who will soon marry her childhood sweetheart fiancé.
Who knew that the two of them were eventually sent to the Gu residence by Mrs. Hou.
The reason is that Mrs. Hou thinks that the two of them are family-born children, and after taking care of Gu Yu for so many years, they are more reassuring than other maids, and they are more aware of Gu Yu's taboos.
After hearing the news, thinking that he was always working everywhere anyway, A'an felt sad for a day or two and then healed up.
But Ah Jing has been depressed ever since she arrived in Gu's residence.
Ah An grew up with Ah Jing, so it is natural not to see sisters like this.
They didn't dare to talk to their master about going back, so they thought about committing something to make Qi Qingxi unhappy.
After all, they came from Ningguohou's Mansion, and Qi Qingxi would not sell them if they committed a crime, so he could only send them back to Ningguohou's Mansion.
But they had also heard people in the mansion talk about Young Master Zi Cong's bride, and that Qi Qingxi had a very good temper, and he never beat or scolded the maidservant.
They were afraid that if they committed other things, it would not be enough for Qi Qingxi to drive them away.So he came up with this idea to let Ah Jing deliberately act like she was very close to Gu Yu in front of Qi Qingxi.
After all, no matter how good-tempered the mistress is, it is impossible for her to tolerate the existence of a maid who likes to seduce her master just after she married into the mansion.
In a few days, Qi Qingxi will drive them back to Ningguohou's Mansion.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether Ah Ning goes back or not, the most important thing is that Ah Jing can go back.
"So you are obviously very afraid of Master Zi Cong, and even tremble when you get close to him, but you are still willing to go back for your fiancé, even at the risk of offending me?" Qi Qingxi asked Ah Jing.
Ah Jing looked at Qi Qingxi with tears in her eyes, but she was still speechless.
Qi Qingxi shook her head, what a cowardly maid, she still wants to act in front of her with such courage.
Seeing that Ah Jing was speechless for a long time, Ah Ning was ready to speak for her again.
Qi Qingxi frowned and looked at Aning: "Don't talk, let her speak for herself."
She remembered that Gu Yu said before that his great-grandfather donated most of the family's money to the Great Yu Army for military expenses.
I always hear people say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but a camel is a camel, even if it is skinny, it cannot be compared with a horse.
