Concubine Wuning

He Qing was teasing, teasing herself, San'er pursed her lips and snickered.

Nanny Luo glanced at San'er helplessly, seeing her master's increasingly mature and good-looking features, she didn't know what to say for a while.What He Qing said was the truth, it was difficult for outsiders to hear, but looking at it this way, after a few months of side Fujin, it was Fujin who helped to take care of it.If it wasn't necessary to enter the palace, He Qing would still be confined in the courtyard like a concubine, and it would be difficult to enter the elegant hall.

He Qing is well versed in the principle that the environment nourishes people. She used to act generously in front of the emperor, although she had some scruples and prudence, she became even more ostentatious.But after living in the small courtyard for a long time, I always feel that I am a little concubine Fujin, even in front of the fourth elder brother, it is just a gag, talking about trivial things in life.If it wasn't for the fourth brother's cooperation, He Qing didn't know how to change herself in the beginning.

But I don't want to, some changes are too much.

Thinking about it, He Qing felt a little shy and hot on her face.He frowned and shook his head, turned left and right again, and searched for the source of these posters from his thin mind.Thanks to the fact that she had the advantage of being in front of the emperor, she swayed left and right with a headache, but she remembered all sorts of things.

Thinking in her mind, He Qing simply opened the cabinet beside the bed.He Qing couldn't take his eyes off the two small locks inside, and threw them to San'er in hatred, "Go and get everything in the box."

There should be rewards and etiquette when going out, first to Fujin's place, He Qing carefully selected the gold silk screen and went there.And painstakingly divided them one by one, and made a list, "Madam, just follow the rules that should be there. For those who can't make it, just send these, just bring a sentence. The rest are ready, and when you come to the door Say it again."

"Yes." Nanny Luo happily took He Qing's paper. He Qing untied the knot in her hand, loosened her sleeves, rubbed her forehead, moistened her lips with tea, and then lazily told Lan Ying, "Go and call all those in charge."

This meant to manage things seriously, Lan Yingsu agreed, but within half an hour, more than half of them came.

With a good-tempered smile, He Qing sat on top and slowly twirled a piece of pastry, flipped through the account books under her hand, and fiddled with the abacus from time to time.Looking casual, it seems more polite on face.After all, He Qing hadn't been in charge for a long time, so He Qing casually flipped through the pages without any haste, and only then did she settle the score with a solid foundation in her mind.Because of the sudden arrival in Beijing, the store in He Qing's hands was only added in recent years.

Wu Youzhi's property deed and land deed have a restaurant and two jewelry and clothes shops.There is also the private money that He Qing took out of his pocket and put it into business, a teahouse and a tailor shop that just started.They are all small businesses that have more than enough cost and can immediately recover the money.He Qing was not in a hurry to make a lot of money, and originally thought that he would use the teahouse to collect some rumors.As for the tailor shop, the fabric materials are only medium now, but it is rare that the masters are very skilled, and gradually they are getting better, and they are also favored by some dignitaries.

For a while it looks objective.

It's just that He Qing turned a blind eye and let the people below strictly watch over her, and finally lost the power that the master should have.He Qing looked down at the stewards, who were looking at their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, who were still in good order. They were a little satisfied and asked, "I'm not complete, so I can't speak. It's so quiet, how convenient are you guys?" I'm talking nonsense."

A few people in charge looked at each other as a hint, lowered their heads immediately, and knelt down with the crowd, and there were only a few submissive words left in their mouths, He Qing's ears were callused, and he dropped his hand impatiently The ledger in the book stopped.

He Qing squeezed her slender white fingers, raised her eyes and glanced at her aunt in charge, "What do you do?"

"Back to the master, the family is the aunt of the Liu family who was pointed out by the lady outside Beijing to the master, who is responsible for the purchase of melons and fruits. The servant has traveled between the two places. In the past few days, he kept the account book for the mother, and sent fresh to the master." Liu Liu Auntie was smiling, she didn't have the slightest grievance of being humiliated by He Qing's rudeness, she was natural and generous, her eyebrows were combed and her eyes were neatly combed, her hair was combed tightly, she seemed to be in good spirits.

He Qing nodded. Mrs. Zhang knew that she could not bear to eat and take care of silver, so she had two Zhuangzi under her name, and she just gave birth to melons and fruits every year.It's just that she was a princess at the beginning, so she didn't want to be too public, so she took it out and sold it.If there is a lot to eat, I still reclaim wasteland in the backyard and be self-sufficient.He Qing was a little surprised when he said to bring fresh ones, and took a closer look, "So, you are also an old man. How is the harvest this year? Which one is the best?"

"Nectarines and apricots grow the best. They are green and red, firm and plump to the touch. There are also watermelons with green skin and red soil, sweet and watery. The cook even picked two of them and said they would be frozen for the master." The remaining melon rinds can be used for cooking." Aunt Liu was not only generous, she spoke every word clearly, and she became more interested, as if she wanted He Qing to talk to her and chat about family matters.

He Qing didn't mind either, and raised her eyebrows lightly, "I eat less apricots, are they still green?"

"But, I don't know the taste of the master, but the green apricots are really delicious. The servant is bold and bought some." Aunt Liu was wearing a navy blue flag dress, a pair of plain embroidered shoes on her feet, and a copper hairpin with flowers on her hair.No matter how He Qing looked at it, this posture and appearance were more pleasing to the eyes than others, and the conversation was inadvertently brisk.

When everyone was ready, He Qing asked someone to bring a round stool with a Buddha's belly, and asked Aunt Liu to sit down.

Aunt Liu's face remained unchanged, she only sat halfway after thanking her, and leaned against her lightly.He Qing caressed her chin. She had been sitting for a long time, but instead leaned casually on the back chair. She even found the green jade pendant that Zhao Xi had left there in the drawer. It was exquisitely carved and translucent blue. , the hands feel warm and moist, but Chao Xi still throws it casually like that.

He Qing lowered her eyelids and murmured to herself, this child has such a temper, and his hands and feet are so sassy, ​​just like her tenth uncle.

"Master." San'er stepped forward holding the ledger.

He Qing recalled, took it and flipped it twice, it was almost the same as what he saw before, what he ate was those mantissas.There are not many things, just this and that, the master is naturally at a disadvantage.He Qing lowered her head and hung the jade pendant on her body, took a sip from her teacup, "It's the first time that everyone is complete. After seeing my master, I've looked around enough. You can read this account book. That's the reason, everyone. My son also knows it well. I am not running a bank, I am not running a charitable hall, and I am impatient to say those words that have nowhere to go.”

After a pause, the people below knew that He Qing was a woman who studied, but they didn't want the master to cut straight to the point and speak so bluntly. They were afraid that the master would be angry and punished, and lamented that the master was very cruel.

These people waited quietly for He Qing to speak, but He Qing turned his head and looked at Aunt Liu, "Which shop did Auntie make this dress? It's actually very beautiful."

Aunt Liu lowered her eyes slightly, and looked at He Qing's peach red Taixi gauze uniform, and she was sure, "This is the material I picked from the East Street, and it's nothing to let a few embroiderers tailor it." Compared with He Qing The clothes made of Taixi gauze are so different, she can't even think about it.

These slaves are all walking around the capital, so their eyesight is naturally extraordinary, and they are not as good as He Qing's rigid one-acre three-point land in the courtyard.The clothes that He Qing put on on purpose must be obvious to all.Aunt Liu didn't dare to speak too abruptly, she suppressed her original familiar and natural expression.

He Qing nodded in satisfaction. Since she is a slave, no matter how clever she is, she can't be too contrived. Without the appearance of a slave, how can a master like it?Since he reacted quickly and knew the height of his eyebrows, this is the most important thing.

A few managers stood with bowed heads, and He Qing called his name, and he stood up.When He Qing asked a question, he naturally had to answer it properly.He Qing also asked questions about some money that didn't match, but naturally she was terrified, knelt down and confessed to be lenient.It's not that He Qing is so powerful, but they are all old people in the Wufu. They just turned from the bloody Wu Youben and saw that the second lady who became the emperor's elder brother's side Fujin was more or less countable. Too rich fans in the past.

He Qing's words are also generous, if the number is too large, He Qing will ask him to make up or call names to make a good performance.Generally speaking, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, even Aunt Liu made He Qing withhold money for two months in a blink of an eye.Aunt Liu responded respectfully, and He Qing looked at a few aunts in charge, pursed her lips but didn't say any more.

When the people left, He Qing called Manager Tang to come over and asked about the details in the yard, and that was the end of the matter.

People outside couldn't catch him, He Qing didn't dare to be too hasty, so he could only slap him and reward him with a sweet date.Seeing San'er sending people away, she knew she would not come back for a while.He Qing raised his eyes to look up at the sky, and asked the servants to put away the stools and chairs, "I'm afraid it will rain this day, so go and cut off the tree buds in the yard. They have grown well recently, and they look like they are showing their teeth and claws from a distance. "

"But." Qiudong was holding a plate of snacks, and nodded quickly, agreeing, "A few days ago, the master rewarded the slave with an exquisite lantern, and the slave was lighting it at night, but it was windy and rainy, look Seeing the flowers and trees swaying in the wind, it's scary."

"Speech." Jing'er had big eyes, delicate and charming, and rarely gave Qiu Dong an angry look, "You are like the sea when you encounter water, so I don't care if this will startle the master!"

Jing'er has a protective face, and commits the next crime.He Qing looked aside as if he hadn't heard anything, Qiu Dong trembled, raised his brows and eyes, and made a gesture to step forward and twisted Jing'er's arm twice, "You damn girl, if you talk, you will trample on others. You want to take me Come to show off, you are the only one who is sensible!"

"Hey," Jing'er twitched, relying on her slim and young body, she hid behind He Qing a few times, "The exquisite lanterns that the master rewarded are rare, why not reward me with pearls from the sea?"

He Qing glanced sideways, and Jing'er quickly complained, "The master said that the servant is good-looking, but Qiu Dong is not convinced, and she always asks her to take the string of pearls from the sea, hiding in the house and being a monster!"

"Who is demon-like!" Qiudong stomped his feet in hatred, even as Chunxia stepped forward to pull her, she also gritted her teeth, her face flushed.
