Chapter 558
The three girls in the room were even more puzzled when they saw Song Guanzhou's expression of wanting to cry but not being able to. "Sister-in-law, please don't keep us in suspense. What on earth could have caused our Fourth Young Master's wife to be so depressed?"
"It's the account book."
Mei Qingyu and Xu Lingqiao both became curious, the Xiao family's account books?
Song Guanzhou sighed again, "Xiao Cang wants to kill me!"
Zhang Fanghui couldn't help laughing, "What nonsense! You drink the wine he sends you every day, and you are just helping him."
Song Guanzhou held his forehead with his hand, "I'm not going to give a favor to someone who has done something for me. I said that Xiao Cang had bad intentions. He couldn't bring himself to do it, so I had to be the one to use the knife."
Seeing the doubts in the eyes of the three young ladies, Zhang Fanghui did not keep them in suspense, "There are several small accounts of the Xiao family that need Guan Zhou's smart brain to sort out."
"Accounts?"
Pei Shuyu was very surprised, "Ship from Jiangzhou? It's so far away." She didn't want to hear the name of Xiao Jia Wulang. That blind but arrogant man actually looked down on her.
But they are all family relatives and cannot be separated.
She felt that this was an exaggeration. The Xiao family was a large clan with many talented people. Why did they need to mobilize so many people to the capital? Moreover, -
She secretly glanced at Song Guanzhou and did not think that this woman was capable of taking on such an important task.
Zhang Fanghui took a sip of tea to calm her heart, which was made by Song Guanzhou's laughter and tears. "You also promised it. Once you say something, it's hard to take it back. Cang Ge'er can't send anyone else, but fortunately you are here."
Song Guanzhou had no major relationship with the Xiao family. She was far away and only checked the accounts.
By the time the results are out, the two heads of the Xiao family will have a basis to eliminate those old foxes who have been deeply rooted and have been taking advantage of the Xiao family to get by for more than a decade.
Song Guanzhou covered his eyes and lay on the kang bed, looking completely groggy.
She was really sober now. She didn't even need to think about it. Three carts of account books——"Even if I use my fourth cousin, Lingbai cousin, and Silang, I'm afraid I won't be able to get a conclusion before the New Year. Xiao Cang dares to order me to do this deadly job."
At this point, Xu Lingqiao and the other two understood everything.
They looked at each other in bewilderment, especially Pei Shuyu, who whispered, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are good at settling accounts, but checking accounts is probably more difficult—"
There were a few words of contempt hidden between the lines.
Song Guanzhou understood what he heard and waved his slender hand, "No matter how difficult the task is, someone has to do it." Who are you looking down on, little girl?
"Did Fourth Sister-in-law also check the account books of the government office?"
The little girl was very reckless. She was very good at dealing with people in the second house and was a good elder sister. But when she came to the mansion, she acted recklessly and only targeted Song Guanzhou.
Song Guanzhou was too lazy to pay attention.
Without answering, the words just fell to the ground. Seeing this, Zhang Fanghui sighed slightly. It's okay. She was also a girl who was going to discuss marriage with Cang Ge'er in the past. Don't make it look awkward.
He continued, "You look down on your eldest sister-in-law. She also studied with her brothers in the Qi family. She is no less talented than the boys. Why should your fourth sister-in-law interfere in the internal affairs of the mansion? Besides, your fourth sister-in-law is lazy by nature and doesn't like to interfere."
Linshan talked to Rendong and started unloading the truck.
Outside the house, Xiao Bei heard that the Xiao family's convoy had arrived, and he immediately stood up, "I'll go take a look, I'm afraid it's Wu Lang who's here to deliver the accounts. Speak of the devil, and he'll appear."
"Fourth cousin, wait for me. I'll go take a look too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Er came outside with three or five servants, each carrying two wooden boxes on their shoulders. Needless to say, there were account books inside.
"Lotus, go ask your sister Honeysuckle, which room is the one she mentioned?"
Lotus pointed to a room that was sitting upside down, next to the study, which was originally used by the maids to live in, but is now vacant, "Second brother, this is the room."
Xiao Bei immediately walked up to him and asked, "Liu Er, how many boxes do you have?"
Liu Er smiled and replied, "My cousin, a carriage was loaded with twelve boxes of this size, and the last carriage was missing two boxes, so the total number is thirty-four boxes."
Ouch!
Qin Qingdong gloated over the misfortune and pointed at He Hua, "Go and ask your young mistress to come out and take a look. I guarantee she will not be able to finish reading these account books even before the New Year."
Lotus pouted, "Second Master, you are looking forward to seeing our young lady."
The third son of the Mei family and the young son of the Chen family were stunned. As Liu Er and his men kept coming in, even the third son of the Mei family, who didn't believe it at first, had to believe it now.
He was the son of a prefect and grew up in a yamen.
Although I know a thing or two about official business, it is not something that anyone with a little ability can undertake. It is tedious, boring and tedious. Many people do not know that checking the accounts takes a lot of effort and time.
"Let me take a look."
Song Guanzhou's voice appeared behind her. She went up to him and asked the servant to put down a box, but she saw that it was locked. "Where's the key?"
The servant bowed his head and replied, "Young Madam, they are at the Xiao Family Manager Jin's office. They are still unloading some food and supplies. They said they will come in and report to you in detail in a while."
"it is good."
Xiao Bei on the side was delighted, "It's actually Second Uncle Jin who came to see us off in person. Is he at the corner gate? I'll go to meet him now." Xiao Jin is the Xiao family's distant uncle. When he was a child, his family fell into poverty and he was almost starving to death. He was taken to the old house by the Xiao family and has been in charge of the Xiao family ever since.
As soon as he stepped out of the door of Shaohua Garden, Xiao Jin came over with two servants, chatting and laughing with Lin Shan.
"Uncle Jin, you're here in person." Xiao Bei went to meet him. Xiao Jin smiled heartily, "Old Fourth, Uncle Jin hasn't seen you for a long time. I heard that you can only return to Jiangzhou after the imperial examination next year. I was worried, so I talked to my eldest and third brothers about it. I took the opportunity to deliver the account book to the fourth young master's wife and come to visit the eldest young lady and your couple."
Xiao Bei was delighted to hear this and led him into Shaohua Garden.
"It is our children who are unfilial, for asking you to come and see us."
Xiao Jin patted his shoulder heavily, "Good boy, you can't go back, what can I do if I don't come? The letter can't solve my heart that misses Rui Ge'er."
That’s true, Xiao Jin likes Rui Ge’er the most.
In the past, in Jiangzhou Prefecture, Rui Ge'er was carried on Xiao Jin's neck and shoulders most of the time. Even Xiao Hongyun and Xiao Hongli said that Xiao Jin doted on Rui Ge'er too much.
But what can be done?
Xiao Jin's only son died at the hands of bandits, leaving him without an heir.
Xiao Hongyun thought about buying him a maid, and having a boy or girl would be better than having an empty child. Xiao Jin waved his hand, "My wife and I have always loved each other. After we lost our child, our hair turned white overnight. Our hearts were broken and we wished we could follow Yuan'er. Don't say I didn't mean it. Even if I did, I wouldn't have the heart to do this. Otherwise, how would my wife survive?"
He had a stubborn character and the two elder brothers of the Xiao family did not need to persuade him many times.
He had no choice but to follow him until Rui Ge'er was born. For some reason, his old wife loved the grandson of the boss, and he liked him too, and he wanted to follow Rui Ge'er around every day.
This time, Xiao Jin's wife had difficulty walking and was unable to go to the capital.
"Where's Rui Geer?"
I have repeated it many times before I even got started.
