New widow

The waiter had already served the tea. The accountant took the tea and sent it to Su Du: "You have a sip of tea first. This tea is not used here to entertain guests. It is private tea I brought from home."

Su Du saw that the color of the tea was not bad, so he took it and took a sip: "Why, why do you want to check the account today?"

"Aren't we accountants doing these accounts all day long? It's just that this Eleven Master has been looking for treasures for the Duke ten years ago, and he has a total of three to four thousand taels of silver a year. Those things he bought, Leave it all to the Duke of Guo. It would take three or four days to check the accounts for more than ten years."

The other accountant also hurriedly explained, and Su Du said: "You said, why does Madam want to check the accounts?"

Why? These accountants are all old, so naturally they won't say anything that will be used as evidence. They just laugh and cover up the words.

Since I want to cover it up, it means there is nothing important to say. Su Du was drinking tea slowly. Zhang Qing looked at the accounts, and one of the accounts fell down and landed at Zhang Qing's feet. Zhang Qing reached out to pick up the account, looked at the words on it, and smiled: "A box of pearls costs 800 taels, what is this?" Such pearls cost as much as 800 taels."

Although pearls are expensive, the ones that can have a box are not that big. If they are small and irregular, a box cannot cost 800 taels.

An accountant hurriedly came forward to take the account book from Zhang Qing's hand: "This is the Nanzhu. It has become increasingly difficult to find the Nanzhu in recent years. Master Shiyi searched for more than half a year in Guangxi before he found this box. He also said, 800 taels

The money is quite small. "

"Where are these pearls used?" Su Du asked with interest. The accounting gentlemen were stunned by this question. Su Du hurriedly added: "My little sister usually likes pearls and often looks for some good pearls to give back to her. Making jewelry. It’s really hard to find Nanzhu in recent years.”

"This box of pearls was naturally put into the warehouse, and I took out a few to make jewelry. There should be some. Mr. Su really wants to find them, so why not wait for your Majesty to come and ask your Majesty to ask Madam." A box Pearls naturally have their way.

Su Du knew the whereabouts of these pearls and was not in a hurry to leave. He just talked to the accounting gentlemen there.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Master Eleven walking in hurriedly. It seems that Mr. Eleven also heard the news and came to look for the accounting room.

When Master Eleven walked into the accounting room, his face was still a little flustered. But when he saw Su Du sitting inside, Master Eleven's expression immediately changed. Then Master Eleven greeted Su Du with a smile: "What's wrong, Mr. Su?" Are you coming to the accounting office?"

As he spoke, Master Shiyi frowned and asked himself: "I guess there aren't any clues in this accounting room."

"I just passed by occasionally, and I happened to hear that Mr. Shiyi had found a box of pearls for the Duke. The little girl at home was missing some pearls when making jewelry, so I asked if there were any more in the warehouse." Su Du simply used pearls. When the topic came up with Mr. Eleven, Mr. Eleven smiled: "Although that box of pearls is not big, it is more round and smooth. In order to get this box, I lived in Hepu for more than half a year. Every day Stay there and watch the pearl divers go into the sea to search for pearls.”

"Master Shiyi has worked really hard.

"Su Du said this calmly, and Master Shiyi smiled: "I just do some business on the way to support my family. "

The two of them were talking perfunctorily, and Su Du had already seen that Master Eleven was very anxious. In this case, Su Du was even more reluctant to leave. He just talked to Master Eleven there, and asked him what he had been looking for. What kind of treasure, if there is anything suitable, my father's birthday is coming soon, so I can find some birthday gifts for my father.

Master Shiyi really had the patience to talk to Su Du there, wishing that Su Du would leave immediately. However, Su Du talked there for a long time and drank a pot of tea. Then he waved his hands as if he remembered something: "Didn't you say Do you want to settle accounts? Why are you staying with me? "

"Mr. Su is a guest, how can we leave Mr. Su alone?" Mr. Accountant's face was full of smiles. Su Du could tell that the smile was somewhat untrue, so he only smiled faintly: "In that case, then I just took my leave."

"Master Su, please." Mr. Accountant sent Su Du out. He still stood there watching Su Du walk out for a long time, then turned around and returned to the accounting room.

Mr. Eleven was already flipping through the account books there, and the accounting clerk hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Eleven, no one can see the accounts we have made."

"If we really couldn't tell, that woman wouldn't suddenly want to check the accounts." Master Eleven's expression changed, and then he said softly: "What do you think of burning these accounts?"

All the accounting gentlemen in the accounting room changed their expressions, and one of them had already whispered: "Burn it. Madam Huang will definitely go and tell Madam..."

"What kind of lady is she? She doesn't even have a room after she walks through the door.

She has not received a title, so she is worthy of being called Madam. "Master Shiyi said disdainfully. All the accountants looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak. After a while, one accountant said: "But, the Kuang family..."

"Who do you think the Kuang family is? They just sent their daughter in." Master Eleven became more and more disdainful in his words.

There was silence in the accounting room. After a while, a accounting gentleman said: "These days, there are funerals in the house. Normally, we should light incense here."

Lighting incense to pray for Song An was an honorable reason, but when he left, he forgot to extinguish the incense and caused a fire. Fortunately, someone saw it and fought hard to put it out. No one was hurt, but a few ledgers were burned. It can be considered a reason.

Master Eleven showed approval on his face: "This is indeed a good idea. Don't worry, everyone, I will not treat you badly when my son enters the Duke's Mansion."

The accountants hurriedly thanked Mr. Eleven, and started discussing again, who should set the fire, and how to get everyone off the hook. In short, no one could find out the reason.

Master Shiyi listened to everyone's discussion with a smile on his face. Does a housewife also want to change her mind? He has been planning for many years to make his son the next Duke of the country. How can he let Su Qiao make irresponsible remarks.

"How many days will it take to settle this account?" After burning the evening incense, Suqiao went back to her room to rest. Naturally, Madam Huang came in to ask.

Madam Huang paused and said, "Madam, the person who went to the tenant's house has returned, but something is a little weird." "
