Wangfu Shenyuan

"Boss, these account books are getting more and more outrageous. You see, this amount of money is not a small amount, and the origin is confusing. How could it be forced into the transaction with Yunkelai Restaurant?" Xia An wrote with emphasis on A big circle was drawn on the error, and he said: "This account book is full of errors, but please tell me the truth, what do you want me to do?"

This is no longer like a certain accountant accidentally miscalculating the amount, nor is it someone who corrupted the owner's money and intentionally falsified it, but a lot of extra money for no reason.

Manager He brightened the oil lamp, and said with a smile: "I guess you can't help but ask tonight, anyway, let me tell you the truth, why I value you so much, I just want to use your ability to settle accounts to help you I integrated all the unknown funds into transactions that can be seen by people, and I want to prevent people from the government from finding out."

"Boss, can I ask you, how did you get the money? As I said before, you must ensure that your life will not be threatened." Now the business of the butcher shop is getting bigger and bigger. Dozens of stores have been opened. Can the government not pay special attention to such a large store?

Guan Shi said: "What are you afraid of? There are very few people in the shop who know that you are here to work. Even if something happens to the shop, it will not implicate you."

"That's what I said, but the slave is worried after all, and I hope the steward will tell you the origin and purpose of the money."

"Speaking of it, I don't know either. Just do what you are told, and don't ask more questions."

A Du Yuan was busy for several days before finally sorting out the gift lists for the two banquets. Concubine Xi went back to her mother's house for two days because of her brother's affairs. Everyone in the courtyard felt relieved. I am afraid that the concubine has no time to take care of the reforms in the courtyard.

No, Concubine Xi came back rather quickly, and returned to the palace on the third day in a warm sedan chair.Xia An was lying on Rongli's bed, listening to Rongli talk about what happened at the banquet and the follow-up.

"So, Yin Shu injured Lin Xuemo with a sword, and he just needs to apologize?" Xia An shook his head puzzled: "Didn't it mean that Lin Xuemo was very favored? Could it be that he could swallow this willingly?" Tone?"

Rong Li tried the temperature of the jug, poured a glass and handed it to Xia An, and sat on the edge of the bed by himself: "The Yin family has soldiers and horses, no matter how unwilling they are, they can't openly fight with them."

Xia An didn't bother to stretch out his hand, so he took two small sips of what Rongli handed over. The hot sweet-scented osmanthus wine was sweeter and more refreshing than the cold one, so I'd better take two jars with me when I go back today. "It turns out that the two brothers and sisters are powerful people, Rongli, do you think Lin Xuemo will marry a young lady from the Cui family?"

"Naturally, we have to marry. Regardless of whether the two of them make it to the end, Miss Cui's reputation has been ruined. If the Lin family doesn't want her, then Miss Cui has no other way out except to escape into Buddhism. The Cui family is not easy to mess with, no matter what. Regardless of the facts and the attitude of the Lin family, they will definitely marry their daughter in the name of the family."

"Miss Cui's family is really pitiful, but if the two of them are lovers and concubines, then it's a different matter." Xia An's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to the fruit plate on the table, and said softly: "Take the grapes Give it to me, I never expected to be able to eat grapes at this time."

Rong Li spoiled and said: "When I entered the palace yesterday, my father gave it to me. I thought I'd give it to you today, but who would have expected you to sleep until this hour, and you will almost miss lunch." He got up and brought it to Xia An Putao, when she turned around, she saw that Xia An had already sat up under the quilt, and said with a smile: "Look at your greedy appearance, it hasn't changed for many years."

"Hey, I just like to eat delicious food, and I didn't provoke any anger or resentment. I remember when I was in Piaoxiangyuan, every time Xiaojin ate fruits and snacks, I was so hungry that I dreamed of it several times. I bought a large table of food by myself. I was reluctant to eat the cakes you brought me later." Xia An twisted a green grape and put it in his mouth, it was icy sweet and very delicious.

"You're lying, I don't know what you give to this person and that person all day long, but the real money is not much in your mouth." Rong Li opened a square handkerchief and asked Xia An to spit the skin on it.

Xia An felt aggrieved after thinking about it: "Didn't I owe too much favor at that time? I finally got something I could take out, so how dare I keep it for myself. At that time, there was a boy at the porter who helped me run errands. , I can’t even take out the errand money I gave to others. Speaking of which, I lost three hundred coins in the dungeon for nothing.”

"Now that I have earned money, I can tip as much as I want in the future." Rong Li said in a bad tone.

Xia An was still worried: "No way, I only have a few taels of silver. I would rather run errands for myself or others to earn money. By the way, Rongli, how much is the redemption money for the death contract of our palace? , I calculate that I probably have to save for a few more years."

Rong Li smiled: "It's only 50 taels, and you will be free in a few years."

"50 taels, um, that's not a lot, I was worried that it would be 100 taels." Xia An hooked his hands: "Give me another drink, I'm so hungry, should I have lunch?"

Rong Li brought the wine to his mouth again: "I'll tell you a way to make quick money."

"What method?" Xia An humbly asked for advice.

"In the future, whenever there is any errand work for the masters in your yard, you will rush to do it, and you will be rewarded. According to your current status, the reward will never be less than your monthly silver. It's Chinese New Year, and they will definitely give gifts to their natal family, it's a good time to make money."

Xia An spat out the peel: "I had this idea before, but I didn't want to show my face in front of them, but now I have contacted the four most powerful ones, and the rest should be fine. Even if something happens, there is still Concubine Xi Protect it, don't you?"

"Which four, there are only three. Also, why isn't this king protecting you? Even if you want to marry a wife, don't fall in love with her."

Xia An looked up and saw that Rong Li's face was completely dark, so he pleasingly fed Rong Li some grapes: "You are secretly protecting me, isn't what I said on the bright side? How dare I have thoughts about Concubine Xi, you Don't think about it. Of course there are four of them, Wangfei, Concubine Xi, Young Master Lanxiang and Mr. Butler. Open your mouth and eat one to calm down."

Rong Li turned his head, showing the aura of the prince, and ordered: "Hey with your mouth."

"Okay." Xia An held the grape in his mouth, and tugged on Rongli's sleeve.Helpless, she just refused to move, so he had no choice but to kneel up, lean forward, and stick his red lips to Rongli's.Putao pushed forward, Rongli closed his lips and teeth tightly, Xia An took Putao in his mouth first, and stretched out his tongue to pry open the door.

Rong was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He squinted to see that Xia An was in a hurry, so he hugged Xia An's head and finished eating the grapes in Xia An's mouth.

"Okay, I'm going to ask someone to prepare meals, and you can let Wei Huang wait for you to wake up. If you continue to sleep like this every day, I would like to see if you don't sleep at night." Satisfied, Rong Xin strode out.

Xia An's face was flushed, and she lay on the bed gasping for air. Rongli kissed very hard every time, almost taking her breath away.It took him a long time before he got out of bed slowly, Wei Huang had already entered, and stood beside the bed holding the smoked clothes.

"Slight yellow, don't worry about it, I'll wear it myself." Xia An got off the bed and put on black cotton shoes.

"My lord, the lunch is prepared in the outer room. The charcoal basin has just risen over there. You should put on a thin shirt outside." Wei Huang handed over the prepared middle coat and thin shirt.

Xia An took it over and smelled it, and there was a faintly sweet scent: "No need, this jacket is already thick enough, I'm still wearing a jacket underneath, it's just inside the room, it won't be cold.

"Don't, when you were sleeping this morning, you kept moaning softly, which caused the prince to rub your arms and legs all morning."

Xia An didn't know it at all: "I moan?" When he came back from Rouzhuang last night, the carriage broke down, but he would soon arrive at the palace, so he walked back with Guanshi He.At that time, he only felt his limbs were cold, and he was not warm enough to sleep alone, so he came from the tunnel and got into Rongli's quilt.The sleeper in the back was very confused, and vaguely remembered that someone disturbed his sleep.

"No, the lord also asked the slaves to bring the wine. Look, there is a small plate next to the sweet-scented osmanthus wine on the table. There is also wine in it for you to rub against the cold."

"Oh." Xia An responded lightly, got dressed and took a shower.Going out to the outer room, Rongli was looking through the record books of the various courtyards in the mansion, seeing that Xia An was not wearing a thin shirt, he put down the book and muttered: "The outer room is no better than the inner room, why are you so disobedient, come here." Xia An walked slowly, pulled the person in front of him, took off his robe and put it on Xia An. "I'm wearing them all, and you're more resistant to the cold than me."

Nestling in Rongli's arms, Xia An raised his hand to massage Rongli's arm.

"Why, is this repaying me?"

"Well, sort of." Xia An said vaguely.

Rong Li smiled: "Then you should really learn from Wei Huang, the strength is too light, well, let's not talk about you, what do you do with me, if you have the ability, you should bite your teeth, eh, really bite .”

After lunch, Xia An yawned and went back to Adu Courtyard.Nothing happened in the yard today, most of the people went back to the Ruo Confucian Academy to rest, and some stayed in the yard to take a nap.It was Qingtu's turn to guard the yard today, and studied with Xia An and He Cheng in the Second Courtyard on how to draw the gift list.The three of them were busy, when a boy ran over from the first courtyard and said that the prince and concubine Xi were going to the gate of the courtyard soon, and asked the two principals in the courtyard to greet them.

It's been more than half an hour since Xia An and Rongli separated, and Rongli didn't say he would come over at that time.Without time to think about it, several people hurried to the gate of the first courtyard and knelt down to meet him.

"Get up, it's cold, go inside and talk." Rong Li didn't speak, but Concubine Xi took the initiative to speak.After the tea was served, A Du Wu's idle servants all retreated, leaving only Xia An and Qing Tu answering in the room.

"I have nothing to do with the lord. I came to your yard just walking. Last time, I mentioned to the lord that we need to change the method of storing the gift slips of the Adu Courtyard. The lord also thought it was good, so he came over to have a look. Xia An, you and The prince will talk about how this reform should be carried out." Concubine Xi picked out Xia An first.

Xia An took a step forward, bowed his head and told Rong Li the general result of the discussion in the yard. In fact, he had already told Rong Li privately, and Rong Li thought it was good, but I don't know if the prince heard it, would he how do you feel.

"Most of the solutions are conceived by the empress, and the slaves are just waiting to summarize and record." Since Xia An is already the "person" of Concubine Xi, it is necessary to put on a show.

Concubine Xi smiled coquettishly, she was not as dignified as a princess, she would laugh out loud when she laughed. "Where, the concubine's body is just a start, lord, don't think highly of the concubine's body, one day I will be disappointed in the concubine's body again."

"You are narrow-minded, you will hold grudges if you say a few words. This king's precious side concubine is naturally extremely intelligent." Rong Li laughed.

Xia An knew in his heart that Rongli was just acting, but after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel angry.He didn't want to see, he didn't want to hear, he wanted to lower his head into the dust.Then he heard Rongli mention him with malicious intent.

"This Master Xia is careful and meticulous in his work. I have heard Guanshi He mention him many times, and I like him quite a lot. Starting today, I will promote Xia'an to be the steward of Adu Yuan. The original steward will be transferred to Huaying Yuan to listen to the arrangements." Bar."

As soon as this remark came out, Qingtu, Xia An, and Concubine Xi were all taken aback. With a single sentence, the prince raised Xia An from the position of chief executive to the steward of the first courtyard. This is the steward of the Adu courtyard. And Xia An himself has not reached the weak crown, which is really unacceptable.

It was a good thing, but how can Xia An feel happy at this time, how should Concubine Xi think about Rongli doing this.No matter whether Concubine Xi has any evidence, or how much she values ​​Xia An, there will always be a hurdle in her heart about whether Xia An is useful or not.

Rongli was here to make trouble, Xia An gritted his teeth.
