Don't go back to hometown

With a crisp click, Jiang Xianyu looked at Xie Cheng in surprise.

At that moment just now, Xie Cheng's expression and tone made him feel strange and familiar.

He was wondering, but Xie Cheng turned his head to look at him, with the same expression as usual, "Are you full?"

Jiang Xianyu was startled, and quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, "I'm full, I'll go and have a look with you."

Xie Cheng wanted him to go home first, but now seeing that he wanted to follow him, he didn't object, but ordered the shopkeeper of Langyuzhai, "Send all the account books to the house, and invite shopkeeper Liu, shopkeeper Zhang and several accountants."

"Yes."

On the way back to Xie Mansion, Jiang Xianyu couldn't help but ask, "Is it troublesome?"

Xie Cheng's eyes sank, "It's just a waste of time and effort."

After all, he had already dealt with this matter once in his previous life.

At that time, the falsification of the accounts was exposed late, and he was unprepared, and it took him a lot of effort to figure it out.

This time he picked this matter up ahead of time, and gave those people seven days to mend the hole, giving them enough chances to admit their mistakes and make up for it.

However, their greedy nature is hard to change, and they are stubborn.

Then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Seeing that Xie Cheng was sure, Jiang Xianyu didn't ask any further questions.

But when he arrived at Xie's mansion, Jiang Xianyu couldn't help staring at the piles of books in Xie Cheng's study: "So many?"

Is this "somewhat" time-consuming and labor-intensive?

When Xie Cheng’s confidant accountant saw Xie Cheng, he reported back: “Master, the account books of Langyuzhai, Jinyu Pavilion, Linglongfang, Langyun Pavilion and jade mining in the past ten years are all here. Linglongfang and Langyun Pavilion are in our Erfang operates it by itself, and there have been no mistakes in these years, and it has been checked."

Xie Cheng nodded: "Then start from the accounts of jade mine mining and Lang Yuzhai, trace the source, and check everything for me."

All the shopkeepers and accountants said in unison: "Yes!"

Xie Cheng also sat down at the desk and sorted out the accounts himself.

Jiang Xianyu stepped forward and asked concerned: "There are so many, when will we finish checking?"

Xie Cheng flipped through the accounts quickly without raising his head, "If all goes well, tomorrow night."

Several shopkeepers and accountants heard the words, with slightly bitter expressions.

The Young Master doesn't think about eating and sleeping at all, right?Otherwise, how could it be cleared tomorrow night!

Jiang Xianyu didn't know the tricks in the account book yet, so Xie Cheng circled one sum after another with a vermilion pen, put the book aside after circled, and left it to the accountant to recalculate.

Looking at it like this, Jiang Xianyu still feels that the speed is quite fast, and he should be able to finish the calculation tomorrow night.

Only the accountant who took over the account books from Xie Cheng knew that the young owner's family could see that the number was wrong at a glance, but they had to calculate it carefully to be sure, and even in some places, they couldn't see anything wrong at all.

In the past, I thought that the young owner's family was inexperienced, and the master handed over the business to him too early, so they must take care of him.Only now did I realize that although the Young Master's age and experience were not as good as theirs, their brains, knowledge and abilities were far superior to theirs.

Looking at today again, those stewards who like to rely on their old age and sell their elders in front of the young boss's family are not present, and they have obviously been "disgusted" by the young boss's family.

Several shopkeepers and accountants secretly exchanged glances, tacit understanding with each other: Fortunately, we are honest and responsible, and we didn't make such troubles, so now we can be trusted and reused by the young boss.

Jiang Xianyu didn't know what they were thinking, seeing how busy the crowd was, he called Shimo to prepare tea, snacks and an ice basin.

He also picked up an account book, lay down on the small case above the soft couch, and calculated everything with the abacus.

However, these accounts are impeccable on the surface, and they need to be checked according to the amount and consumption of jade mines before they can find anything wrong.

Xie Cheng had already memorized the accounts of the jade mine, so he could see the problem at a glance.

Jiang Xianyu was biting the tip of his pen and calculating hard, still with a dazed look on his face.

Xie Cheng didn't intend to let him worry about himself, he just thought it was to exercise his arithmetic ability, so he let him go.

The afternoon sun was scorching, Jiang Xianyu smelled the fragrance of ink and fell asleep, and soon fell asleep lying on the small table.

Xie Cheng glanced up, got up and went forward to help him close the case, and helped him to lie down on the soft couch.

Seeing that it was very hot near the window, he called Shimo in a low voice and told him to move the ice basin closer to Jiang Xianyu.

Shimo didn't want to disobey the young master's wishes, but also didn't want to see his young master suffer, so after moving the ice basin, he added another one beside Xie Cheng.

The shopkeeper and accountant in the house were a little surprised when they saw the young master's actions.There are those who are quick-witted, secretly lamenting how their young master treats the young master of the Jiang family as if they are doting on his wife?

Thoughts were different, but they all unanimously eased the movement of dialing the abacus and lowered the voice of discussion.

Perhaps the environment was too comfortable, so Jiang Xianyu slept until evening.

At this time, the Golden Crow is setting in the west, and the sunset glows.

He suddenly realized that he fell asleep in Xie Cheng's study, first touched the corner of his lower lip - very good, no drooling.

Looking at the shattered ice basin in front of him, and Xie Cheng who was buried in his work——

The orange-red sunset peeked into the window and cast it on Xie Cheng's desk, reflecting his right hand as white as jade, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

Jiang Xianyu stared blankly for a while, and didn't come back to his senses until Xie Cheng called him.

"woke up?"

"En." Jiang Xianyu was a little annoyed that he hadn't been able to help, so he got up to find the small case just now, and planned to continue studying those account books.

Xie Cheng said: "It's getting late, you can go back and have dinner with Master and Mother."

Jiang Xianyu: "What about you?"

Xie Cheng still didn't raise his head: "The Ink Recognition Association will make arrangements."

Jiang Xianyu thought about it, he had already been outside for a day, and it was time to go home and have dinner with his parents.

So he said, "Then I'll help you later."

Xie Cheng didn't refuse, nor did he expose the cruel truth that the young man couldn't help much.

……

That night, the lights in the study room in the front yard of Xie Mansion stayed on all night.

Jiang Xianyu stayed here until midnight, and finally figured out the key to checking accounts.

However, he had little contact with business accounts and lacked Xie Cheng's keen insight, so his progress was very slow.

In the end, Xie Cheng drove him back to sleep.

"What about you?" Jiang Xianyu asked concerned, "You haven't rested since noon."

"Yes, young master, there are a few of us here, so you can go back and rest first." The accountant manager echoed.

Some of them took turns to rest for a while, but the young master really didn't stop for a moment.

Xie Cheng said: "Everyone has worked hard, come back tomorrow."

As he spoke, his attention was still on the account book in his hand.

After he sent a message, several shopkeepers and accountants with families chose to go back, "Then I will come early tomorrow."

Xie Cheng: "Well, after this matter is resolved, I will give you a bonus."

"Master Xie (Young Master's family)."

The accountant of the Xie family lived in Xie's mansion and chose to stay and help.

Jiang Xianyu saw that the strong tea in Xie Cheng's hand had already been replaced by a pot, and he still didn't want to stop, so he stepped forward to cover the ledger with his hands, and said worriedly: "Let's do it tomorrow, don't worry about it now."

Xie Cheng said: "I have to go to the academy tomorrow, and I don't have so much free time to spend with them. I should make a clear calculation earlier and deal with it earlier."

But Jiang Xianyu didn't let go: "Because you're going to the academy tomorrow, you should rest all the more. You're going to take the scientific examination soon. You can put these things aside and hand them over to your subordinates, or report them to Uncle Xie for handling."

Xie Cheng looked up at him, and sighed helplessly, "You've delayed me for quite a while now."

Jiang Xianyu quickly withdrew his hand, but still did not give up, "I'm serious, you still focus on scientific research now."

It's not Xie's business.

Uncle Xie is not very old, so he can take care of him for a few more years.

And he didn't want Xie Cheng to work as hard as he did in his previous life.

In his previous life, Xie Cheng built his tomb, but Xie's father and mother strongly opposed it.

Xie Cheng knelt in front of Xie's father and mother, pleading with sobs in his sickly body: "For so many years, my son has put Xie's family first and parents first in everything. This time, the son wants to be selfish for a while, for his own selfishness. Make a plan, ask your parents to make it happen."

Jiang Xianyu was very worried when he heard that, he felt sorry for Xie Cheng who had lived for the Xie family half his life, and even more distressed that Xie Cheng was selfish even once, it was all for Jiang Xianyu.

The more so, the more Jiang Xianyu can't bear to see Xie Cheng wronged himself.

His tone became a little excited: "There are priorities. Your body is more important than these account books, and the scientific research is more important than the tens of thousands of taels lost here! You should think more about yourself!"

Xie Cheng suddenly looked at him, and asked back: "How do you know that enrolling in the imperial examination is what I want?"

Jiang Xianyu was taken aback for a moment.

He only learned after turning into a soul that Xie Chengzhong gave up the imperial examination in his previous life, and both his father and mother regretted it.

Therefore, he thought that it was necessary for him to encourage Xie Cheng to take part in the imperial examinations in his life.

However, he was not sure whether the imperial examination was what Xie Cheng wanted.

In contrast to his current behavior, he tried to persuade Xie Cheng to think more about himself, and even to ignore the Xie family's business for the time being, but actually he didn't understand Xie Cheng's real thoughts.

Jiang Xianyu was speechless, deeply ashamed.

Seeing him like this, Xie Cheng realized that his tone just now was a bit bad, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Sorry, I'm so busy and confused, you go back first."

Jiang Xianyu pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, "...then go to bed early."

Xie Cheng: "Yes."

Jiang Xianyu turned to leave, but he still didn't forget to turn around and tell: "Be sure to sleep."

Xie Cheng slightly bent his lower lip towards him, "Yes."

"Know ink, hold the lamp for Xiao Yu."

"Yes."

Shimo led the way with a lantern in front, Jiang Xianyu lowered his head, recalling Xie Cheng's words just now, and all kinds of past and present life, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

He turned out to be the kind of person who, in the name of being Xie Chenghao, forced him to go according to his expectations.

"Little Master."

Shimo suddenly called him, "Shimo knows that you are doing it for the good of my young master...but everything about the Xie family is the young master's responsibility."

"Whether he wants to or not, he can't escape. If he escapes, he won't be my young master."

Jiang Xianyu paused, suddenly awakened.

Xie Cheng is Xie Cheng, he knows what he is doing and what he wants to do better than anyone else.

It is Xie Cheng's own choice whether to put Xie's family first and live out of responsibility, or selfishly serve him and die because of him.

He clearly has the ability to refuse, and has the opportunity to escape, but he has not, and never will.

And what about Jiang Xianyu?

From the previous life to the present, I have been escaping——

During his lifetime, he avoided those heavy secrets and traveled far away; after his death and his rebirth, he escaped from Xie Cheng's deep affection, pretending to be ignorant of his love and indulgence.

For a person like him, even if he was reborn once, it would be in vain.
