This time when Pei Yu came to the Princess's Mansion, he not only came himself, but also brought his servant Gu Yu and his daily belongings from the Pei family.

Although the eldest princess had instructed that Lord Pei would stay for a few days and asked Dangui to arrange a place for him to stay.

But Dangui looked at the luggage brought by the Pei family, which was loaded on eighteen horse-drawn carriages, and felt that Lord Pei's short stay might be a long one.

She still remembered what Wutong had told her about what happened between General Shen and the princess in Xuanfu, so Dangui was careful when arranging Lord Pei's residence.

In the past, there was only one master in the Princess's Mansion, the Princess. The entire mansion belonged to the Princess. There was no convenience or inconvenience, so there was no distinction between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard.

But now, Dangui feels that it is necessary to share it.

After all, we need to look at the problem from a developmental perspective. The eldest princess is a royal lady. Although she only loves two men now, it is very likely that she will love more in the future.

If they were all put together so haphazardly, and if there was a collision or a fight, which would make it difficult for the princess, then that would be Dangui's dereliction of duty.

So, Dangui went to ask the eldest princess first.

Of course, as the first personal maid, she couldn't speak too bluntly, so as not to embarrass the princess, so Dan Gui packaged her words:

“I was thinking that if the masters come here often, and there are many maids in the mansion, it would be bad if there were any conflicts.

It would be better to divide it into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is headed by His Highness's bedroom, and the outer courtyard is headed by His Highness's study. The gate in the middle is guarded by servants, and no one is allowed to enter without permission.

The adults' residences were moved to the outer courtyard.

The Moon Viewing Pavilion on the east side is spacious and suitable for General Shen to practice martial arts. The Boya Pavilion on the west side is quiet and suitable for Lord Pei to study.

There is a corner gate on each side of the east and west that leads to the inner courtyard. They are unrelated and servants are also sent to guard the gates. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Su Fengyi was a little surprised. General Shen was not there, so how could Dangui remember to arrange accommodation for him?

But considering that the Shen family has no house in the capital, and that Shen He is going to get the secret treasure and Shen Quan is going to fight Zuo Xian Wang, they will probably have to return to the capital to report in a while, so it would be good to prepare them in advance, and Dangui was thoughtful.

So Su Fengyi praised:

"Yes, very thoughtful."

Dangui, who was praised, happily took Guyu to arrange accommodation for Lord Pei.

Lord Pei, who claimed that Su Fengyi should wait for him at night, neither returned to his residence, Boya Xuan, nor went to Su Fengyi's bedroom to find her. Instead, he worked overtime miserably all night and did not get any sleep.

Not only Pei Yu failed to sleep, Lord Xu and the advisors also stayed up all night and did not go home.

When Su Fengyi went to check on everyone's progress the next day, she saw a group of lawyers, all of them looked ashen, yawning continuously, holding an abacus and moving the beads with deafening noises.

The masters calculated and howled in despair:

“Ahhhhh, why don’t they match again? What exactly is wrong!?”

Lord Xu and Pei Yu were also sitting nearby, each with a frown on their face, holding an account book and looking at it.

Su Fengyi knew from their expressions that they were probably unable to settle the accounts.

Su Fengyi walked over to Pei Yu and asked him:

"What's wrong? What difficulties have you encountered?"

When Pei Yu heard her voice, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the gray sky outside the window, and said in surprise:

"Your Highness, it's evening already?"

I don’t know what kind of difficult problem it was that made Lord Pei unable to handle it in time.

Su Fengyi looked at the account book in his hand and said:

"It's already morning, what's going on? The money doesn't add up?"

When Pei Yu heard that it was already morning, he looked regretful and handed the account book to Su Fengyi and said:

"Exactly. The amount of money doesn't match."

Su Fengyi took the account book and flipped through it casually. It is said that the top management determines the strategy, the middle management determines the policy, and the grassroots level determines the execution.

Professional matters should be done by professionals. As for things like calculating money, she didn't think she could do it better than the lawyer present.

Su Fengyi returned the account book and said:

"It is difficult for a tired army to go on a long expedition. Border trade is not something that can be done overnight. We should take a rest first. It will not be too late to fight again after we have regained our energy.

As for the numbers that don’t match, it’s said that a bystander can see more clearly, so why not arrange for someone who is good at counting to help check it out, and maybe they can find a solution.”

When Lord Xu heard this, his originally weak aura suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said:

"Your Highness is right. Border trade is a matter of national secrets and is of great significance. If we rashly invite irrelevant people and the news leaks out, it will be inappropriate.

However, I wonder if the accountant in your palace can provide some support to me."

Lord Xu thought clearly that since the border trade was proposed by the eldest princess, her accountant would naturally know about it. Letting the eldest princess's people participate in the border trade was also a way to reassure the eldest princess.

There was nothing wrong with this, but Su Fengyi was worried that if she really invited someone, Lord Xu would not be able to accept it, so she asked another question:

"The accountant in my palace? Sir Xu, are you sure?"

After not sleeping all night, Lord Xu was older and couldn't stay up late like Pei Yu. He was so sleepy that his head was splitting. He just wanted to get this done quickly, so he said:

"That's right, Your Highness, please give it up."

Okay, Su Fengyi thought, you said this yourself, you can’t go back on your word.

So Su Fengyi told Dangui:

"Go call Bai Guo."

When Lord Xu heard the word "Baiguo", he was still thinking that the name given by the accountant was quite elegant.

When Lord Xu saw that the person coming was a little girl, he was completely stunned.

He was really careless. The chief secretary of the Princess's Mansion is a woman, and the accountant is also a woman. That's only natural. How could he not have thought of it?

But since we have invited people, there is absolutely no reason to say no at this time.

Lord Xu said to Bai Guo with a normal expression:

"Thank you, young lady."

Bai Guo usually stays at home, and was a little timid when he suddenly had to face so many people. But when he saw the account book, he immediately got into the state:

"Mr. Xu is very polite. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Lord Xu had not expected to gain anything, so he took the other advisors with him to have a rest. They were going to come back after the rest. If Bai Guo could not find anything, they could return him to the princess.

As a result, Lord Xu had just arrived at the resting place prepared by Dangui and had not even taken off his clothes when the eldest princess sent someone to deliver a message.

Miss Baiguo has already found the irregularities in the border trade accounts.
