You Can't Be Fierce Towards Me!

Xiao Qiao was moved by his words. If it was just herself, she would not accept Fu Tian's reward. After staying in the village for a long time, no matter men, women, young or old, her personality is straightforward and cheerful. Since she treats Fu Tian as a friend, then A small favor should not be expected in return.

But now that this reward is related to the future of the entire village, it's hard for her not to be moved.

The people in the village are not born willing to be bandits. Except for the boss and the military adviser, there are 32 people in the village. There are children abandoned by their parents, women who have been persecuted by the government, and like her, who have lost their relatives. The helpless people who simply stayed in the village.

Everyone living together is just to have a shelter.If there is another way out, it would be a great thing for everyone to stop being a bandit.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Qiao nodded and agreed, "Although it's a bit of a waste of money, everyone has already agreed to do something else to make a living. Mr. Fu has really helped us a lot. No matter what we ask from now on, Xiao Qiao will be there whenever we are called."

Chang Xi followed behind and nodded vigorously, "Xiao Qiao is right, count me in!"

Fu Tian: "..."

Seeing Chang Xi's simple and honest face of agreement, he wanted to laugh, and seeing Xiao Qiao's firm expression, he didn't refuse after all.

Fu Tian was willing to accept their rewards, and Xiao Qiao relaxed a lot. They sat for a while, and after Fu Tian had lunch, they went to the study with him.

Zhou Chuanqing sent them to the door, just about to turn back, but was blocked by Chu Xiangtian who followed behind.

Zhou Chuanqing couldn't figure out why he was going crazy, "Is there anything else?"

Chu Xiangtian looked at him with his chin and narrowed his eyes, "Don't you know how to settle accounts and not help?"

Zhou Chuanqing shook the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm such a literati, how can I be an accountant?"

With a sneer, Chu Xiangtian looked at him contemptuously, "You eat and drink here for free and you still get two taels of silver a month. Now that Fu's family has suffered a change, can you let it go without helping?"

Zhou Chuanqing: "..."

"Fu Tian still calls you big brother anyway, so you're just like big brother?"

"..."

"Okay, okay." Zhou Chuanqing's scalp was numb from his eyes, he put away the folding fan, and strode after the few people who walked away, "I'll help."

Only then was Chu Xiangtian satisfied, and he was the last to follow.

In the study, Chang Xi moved out the big wooden box, and Fu Tian and Xiao Qiao shared half of the account books. After confirming the division of labor, they began to concentrate on accounting.

Later, Zhou Chuanqing consciously moved from Fu Tian's side for a little while, found a vacant seat and started counting. For a while, there were only the rustling of pages turning and the beating of beads in the study.

The three of them spent three whole days forgetting to sleep and eat. Except for the rest at night, even the meals were brought to the study by Dai Fu.Chang Xi and Chu Xiangtian couldn't help with the accounting, so I sorted out the messy account books piled aside after reading them.

On the evening of the third day, after reading the last account book in his hand, Fu Tian rubbed his sore wrist and let out a heavy breath, "Finally, the calculation is over."

"All the problems are piled up there." Zhou Chuanqing sat paralyzed on the chair and spun around for three days. Even the best demeanor couldn't be maintained. He stood up unsteadily, "I'll go back and change my clothes first." .”

The most energetic of the three is Xiao Qiao. She has good physical strength and a quick mind, and she can make calculations like flying fingers. These three days are not a lot of energy for her. Do-it-yourself repackage of unproblematic ledgers into boxes.After moving the box back to the original place and putting it away, she clapped her hands and said relaxedly: "I'll go back and change my clothes too."

Fu Huang: "..." As expected, he came from Xishanzhai.

Chang Xi followed Xiao Qiao and left. There were only three people left in the study. Fu Huang asked Dai Fu to inform the kitchen to prepare dinner, and then leaned against the table and rubbed his hands listlessly.

"Give me your hand."

Chu Xiangtian walked over and knelt down in front of him, looking up at him.

The squatting man has handsome features, sword eyebrows slanted, eyes like bright stars, and his thin lips are slightly pursed, drawing a gentle arc upward.

His face was fierce, but his expression was extremely soft.

Fu Tian stretched out his hand obediently, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

He took out the ointment from his arms, dug out a piece and rubbed it on his hands, "Rub it on for you, it won't hurt after you rub it on."

Blinking his eyes slowly, Fu Tian looked at the bandit leader with his head down, feeling the slightly rough big hand wrapping his hand, rubbing the back of his hand with callused fingertips, feeling sour and swollen , just like his mood at the moment.

Chu Xiangtian rubbed his wrist seriously, and it was rare that he didn't have any charming thoughts, so he massaged the young master in a proper manner, fearing that his strength would hurt him, so he told him, "If it hurts too much, make a sound. "

Fu Tian nodded, remembering that he couldn't see, and let out a low "hmm".

It took almost half a quarter of an hour to massage his hands. There was a faint scent of medicine on the palms of his hands. Fu Tian moved his fingers, and the stiffness and soreness disappeared, and he was much more comfortable than before.

"Thank you." Fu Huang thanked him in a low voice, and remembered that he sent himself back from the study last time, and probably massaged himself in the same way.Biting the soft flesh on the inside of his cheek, Fu Tian couldn't hold back, and asked hesitantly, "Why are you so nice to me?"

If it was just because I did him a favor when he was kidnapped, then what I did before should be enough.

"How can there be so many reasons?" Chu Xiangtian patted him on the head, smiling very heartily, "I just like you, that's why I treat you well."

Fu Tian stared at him in surprise, like a frightened little rabbit, with his ears pricked up, trying to distinguish the truth from what he said.

Chu Xiangtian laughed, seeing his stunned expression, pinched his cheek with two fingers, "Just kidding, let's go, go back and change clothes and go to eat."

"Oh." Fu Huang, who was still a little confused, obediently walked out behind him.

Chu Xiangtian turned his head to look at him, and let out a regretful "tsk" in his heart, it seems that it's not the time yet, even making a joke can scare the young master into petrification.

After changing their clothes, a few people went to the main hall for dinner. Fu Tian specially ordered the kitchen to cook more generously. When they passed, the Eight Immortals' table was already full of dishes.

Fu Huang asked them to sit down, and the maid stood by with a basin and towel waiting. Xiao Qiao and Chang Xi were not used to such a scene. There were no rules for eating in the village, and they were a little cautious when someone was waiting on them.Fu Tian simply asked the servants to retreat, and they ate and chatted casually.

The main thing is about the account books. They have already cleared a whole box of account books. Among them, there are five shops with problems, two of which are in Shangming Town, and the other three are in the surrounding towns of Shangming Town.

The accounts of Shangming Town are very detailed. They did the calculations and found no problems at first, but after going to the warehouse to compare the accounts of previous years, they found that the purchase expenditure in recent years was abnormally high, and the price of grain bought and sold was abnormally high. It is ridiculously high.

The prices of the Fu family's rice and grain shop are adjusted at any time according to the local market conditions, but the price adjusted by the steward must have a report document and the seal of the owner. It is Wen Boli's private seal, that is, from the year of the price adjustment, the profit of the shop has gradually decreased and finally turned into a loss.

The price has suddenly increased, and there must be tricks in it.

"I'm going to visit Shangming Town." Fu Huang put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"I'll go with you." Chu Xiangtian sat next to him. Hearing this, he didn't hesitate. The young master just took over these businesses, so he could have a helper if he went along.

"Then I'll go too." Xiao Qiao thought for a while and said, "I can't hide anything about the accounts from me."

Xiao Qiao made a sound, and Chang Xi naturally wanted to follow. In the end, Zhou Chuanqing was the only one who remained silent. Chu Xiangtian and Chang Xi turned their heads and looked at him fixedly, with the expression on their faces that everyone has gone, why don't you go? .

Zhou Chuanqing: "..."

Coughing lightly, Zhou Chuanqing said, "That's me too."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Chu Xiangtian and Chang Xi looked away, and the matter was settled like this. They will take a rest tomorrow and leave for Shangming Town early the morning after tomorrow.

After dinner, Fu Huang went to see Fu Youqin in the main courtyard. During the three days of checking the accounts, except for a quick look at every meal, Fu Huang didn't talk to her properly. Fu Tian thought about it.Before going to Shangming Town, there are some things that I need to clarify with my mother.

In the evening, the cold had already picked up. Fu Youqin half leaned on the bed to read a book, and Fu Shuyue sat on the side, talking to her while embroidering.

Fu Huang knocked on the door and came in. Seeing him, Fu Youqin frowned slightly, "I haven't looked at you for three or four days, why did you lose weight?"

Fu Shuyue made room for him, and Fu Tian moved a ponytail and sat down beside the bed, with a serious expression on his face: "I have something to tell my mother."

Fu Youqin pinched his face, "My mother is still so serious."

Fu Tian pursed his lips, gave a vague "um", and said slowly, "I want to take over the family business."
