A white lotus attracts swallows

Chapter 37 Turn the tide

"The account book...?" Cheng Hua felt strange, and asked, "You are in charge of the account book, Uncle Yan. What could go wrong? If there is a problem, it must not be a big problem. Don't worry."

Speaking of this, Yan Liu blushed and felt ashamed: "Young Madam, it's all my fault for this old slave...I blame this old slave for not paying attention for a while, and gave the original account book to Second Young Madam, she has no experience in account management. This time, the accounts are all messed up... this... oh..."

"Uncle Yan, why did Qing Ji have to settle accounts all of a sudden?"

"Back to the young master, the second young lady said that she wanted to share the young master's worries and do her part, and insisted on doing it... The old slave couldn't resist, so I could only agree to her. I wanted to give the second young lady a copy to practice, but I didn't know that I took it by mistake. ..."

"When did she get the bill?" Cheng Hua's face was also a little dignified, but he just prayed in his heart that his guess was not true.

"March... in late March."

really.

Cheng Hua rubbed his forehead with some headache.That's right, the account books without copies are usually from this month or the last ten days of last month.The practice of Huangguo is to publish the bills of officials every quarter to show the integrity of officials.This time, the announcement was supposed to be in early April, but it was postponed to the end of April due to the arrival of the Xiyan Mission.Today, it is already 25.In less than five days, the spring account books will be publicized.Seeing Yanliu's anxious attitude, it's not difficult to know which account is wrong.

Yan Liu looked at his face, and couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat.In more than [-] years in charge, this is the first time he has made such a big mistake.

"...Anyway, let's take a look at the account book first, and I'll think of a way."

"Hey! Okay!"

Qing Ji knew that she had messed up a big deal, and felt very guilty. When she saw Yan Lu, she cried, "Yan Lang...it's all my fault...I, I thought it was just an insignificant copy, just asking for practice. , so that I can contribute to the mansion in the future, but, I didn't expect...I didn't expect Steward Yan to give me an original copy...I, I really didn't expect...Yan Lang..."

After hearing this, Yan Liu just wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood, but she couldn't refute anything, she just felt that this woman had a vicious heart, and she saw it clearly today.Yan Lu didn't understand the specific situation, so he just frowned and said, "You're so good, what are you going to do? Usually, I think you are very delicate, and you don't even want to practice calligraphy. What's going on now?"

"I... I see that you have been sluggish these days, and I want to give you a surprise... Yan Lang, I was wrong, don't blame me, okay?"

When Yan Lu didn't answer, Qing Ji cried even harder, faintly becoming more miserable.

"Okay, I didn't blame you. Go back to your room and rest, we will find a way."

"Yan Lang..."

"Let's go back."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Qing Ji didn't dare to persist anymore, she gritted her teeth secretly, nodded softly and went back to the room.

In the study, Cheng Hua flipped through the account books and checked them carefully.

Qing Ji is a little bit capable, but that's all.Except for the good part of Yanliu at the beginning, her part is almost [-]% wrong, and some appear every one or two pages. It seems that it is impossible to directly modify it in the account book.In this way, I can only get a copy again.As for the original, the ink was poured on it, soaking the paper, and when someone questioned it, it was said that it was accidentally damaged.

After thinking of a countermeasure, Cheng Hua immediately found someone to start copying.Time is running out, and the facsimile must be done quickly, and all her parts must be recalculated.

Four days... I don't know if I can make it in time.

"Time is so tight, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Yanju for the time being. I'll go back and pack some things first, and you have someone copy the ledger as soon as possible."

As soon as he turned around, he was hugged tightly by Yan Lu.

"You don't have to go back... I just ordered someone to move the things that belonged to Yanju."

"you……"

"Hua'er, come back. Not only me, my parents, even the servants and maids miss you too."

Although it is not the right time to say this, but the account book has been copied by a special person, and there is nothing to do for the time being, so it is right to relax.Cheng Hua's thoughts wandered, and he turned around with a smile: "Yes, I can see that, even the account book misses me."

Yan Lu laughed, and quickly coaxed: "Ma'am~ You see, our family can hardly survive without you. Come back, okay?"

"I said it before, and I moved out, and now you just want me to come back with one word?"

Yan Lu paused for a moment, then his eyes flashed, and he quickly said: "I will come to the door to apologize to my father-in-law and mother-in-law! Let's get married again, and this time will definitely be more memorable and grand than the last time!"

Seeing his impatient look, Cheng Xiaoshou couldn't help but burst out laughing, and stepped forward to hold him back: "What do you mean by the same two being married twice, idiot."

"Hua'er..."

"Apart from Yan's residence, only my parents, brothers and sisters know about the reconciliation."

Cheng Hua didn't finish his sentence, and just looked at him innocently with peach blossom eyes.

Yan Lu is also a smart person, although he didn't explain it clearly, but he understood it right away.Looking at his innocent and charming expression, I almost want to hug him into the room and love him a lot.The smile could no longer be suppressed under the overjoyed, and when he spoke, his voice was filled with a smile: "Then when this matter is over, our two families will have a meal together, and I will make amends to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, okay?"

"You don't need to eat. You first make up for what you owe me."

"I owe you something...?"

"Think about it."

Cheng Hua played charades and walked away suppressing the joy in his heart.

Even if you copy and copy the entire account book without sleep, it is already the afternoon of the next day.

Cheng Hua took the account book, flipped through it and told Yan Li: "I can't be disturbed by people when I settle the accounts inside. If there is anything, let them go to the young master."

Yan Li cast his eyes on the five bodies that his young lady had already admired, and puffed out her small chest: "Okay! Young lady! Leave it to me!"

Here, Yan Lu kept the two families' dinner in mind, saw Cheng Hua entered the study, turned around and asked Yan Liu: "Uncle Yan, when will father and mother come back from Jiangnan?"

"Back to the young master, the master and his wife will not come back until the Dragon Boat Festival. What's the matter, the young master?"

"Forget it, we'll talk about it when they come back. Where's Qing Ji?"

"The second young lady... is in the kitchen."

Qing Ji was holding a small fan, squatting gracefully at the mouth of the stove to fan the fire.

"what are you doing here?"

When she turned her head and saw that it was Yan Lu, her eyes became more joyful, she got up and gave a blessing gently, and softly replied: "Qing Ji knows that she has made a big mistake, and now she has to rely on Brother Cheng to turn the tide... ...Qing Ji felt very sorry, and knew that she couldn't help much, so she specially came here to make ginseng soup to nourish her brother's body."

Yan Lu did not doubt that he had him, and nodded approvingly: "Well, it's really good that you can think about it sincerely. He can't tolerate other people's disturbance now, you can give it to Yan Li when you finish it, and he will take care of it."

Qing Ji's expression froze, and she said again: "Qing Ji wants to say goodbye to Brother Cheng in person... I won't disturb him, and I promise to leave after speaking."

"...You can figure it out yourself."

With permission, Qing Ji continued to cook ginseng soup over a small fire.Although Yan Lu got the leave, after thinking about it, he decided to chat with the youngest son of the Minister of the Household Department, and let him take care of the account book a little bit.

The Yan Mansion, which was still in panic two days ago, became orderly and orderly again after the two backbones returned.

The servants in the mansion thought, maybe this is not necessarily the case.

The backbone of Yan Mansion may be the one sitting in the study.
