Chapter 226 Accounts
The lotus appreciation banquet has become such a mess, there is no need for Xie Fengyue and Lin Qishu to stay any longer.
When they were leaving, Xie Fengyu followed suit.
It wasn't until the three of them left the imperial city in the same car that Xie Fengyu slapped his head and said, "Oh no, I forgot to bring Xie Rui back."
Xie Fengyue leaned against the window and replied lazily: "What's wrong with this? Sister Rui may be glad that you have forgotten it at this time."
Just as Xie Fengyue said, Xie Rui hid under the tree and watched the three of them leave with her own eyes, then patted her clothes and put on an aggrieved expression and returned to Xiao Xie Nei.
After Xie Fengyue's appearance before, the girls in the hall also lost their interest in playing, and they all gathered together and whispered.
Xie Rui sneaked in without attracting anyone's attention. She walked in a big circle from the piano master's side and walked to Shi Zian. She was filled with tears and her slender figure was crumbling.
"Your Majesty~I...my...sisters, you left me here."
Prince An felt heartbroken: "How could they do this to you!"
Shi Zian has become familiar with Xie Rui these days, and has some understanding of the difficulty of her survival in the Xie Mansion. However, when he knew that he would forget her even when attending a banquet, his heart still stopped.
Xie Ruichuchu bit her lip pitifully: "Sisters, maybe they didn't do it on purpose. They just didn't think of me. It's also their fault that I didn't follow them closely when I came to such a banquet for the first time."
"How can I blame you? You didn't hide it intentionally so that they wouldn't find it. It's obvious that they are doing a good job and don't take you to heart at all." Shi Zian stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back in person. I would like to ask Mrs. Xie, is this how you, the Xie family, treat concubines so harshly?”
Shi Zian not only wanted to ask Mrs. Xie why she was like this, but he even wanted to ask Mrs. Xie why.
Why did she, Xie Fengyue, propose marriage to him at the same time as she proposed marriage to the eldest man of the Lin family? She really didn't take Wu Guo seriously, not to mention that he had no intention of marrying Xie Fengyue. If it hadn't been for her before All those so-called dowries were spent, why did he come all the way to Shengjing to suffer this anger.
When he thought of this, he even resented Xie Fengyue. She was obviously gentle and gentle when she was in Wu State. Although her appearance was not outstanding, her temperament was also very popular with him. But after staying in Shengjing for a few days, she actually became Like those girls from aristocratic families, they act arbitrarily and have too much vision.
Is it possible that her performance in the Wu Kingdom was all deceived by him?
With this thought, those feelings of disobedience came to the fore. No wonder she had refused to get close to him before, and could not hold hands awkwardly. It turned out that she was unwilling but had to please him.
Xie Rui carefully observed Shi Zian's expression and saw that his face was as dark as an ink pan. He asked softly and softly: "Your Majesty, please don't offend Mrs. Xie for Rui'er. This is all It was Rui'er who didn't do well, and I was left behind because I didn't understand the rules."
"If you want people to understand the rules, you have to be taught by someone. Xie Fengyu and Xie Fengyue didn't even say a word to you. How could you understand? Just leave it alone. I'll send you back now."
Xie Rui shook her head repeatedly with tears in her eyes: "No, no...how can I let the prince take such a risk for me? My mother has a strong character. If the prince goes to ask, he will definitely not get the good fruit. I can't bear to let the prince Because of being involved.”
What she said was extremely sincere, and in contrast to Xie Fengyue's cold and indifferent attitude towards her, she seemed even more sensible.
Shi Zian sighed: "You are too weak-tempered, that's why Xie Fengyue, the side branch, treats you like this, hey."
Xie Rui's eyes shone with admiration: "It's my blessing that the prince can think of Rui'er."
"That's all. While I'm in Shengjing, I'll invite you to more banquets. You can make more friends and you won't have to suffer the injustice of your two sisters."
Xie Rui's style of acting really worked for Prince An. The corners of his mouth were raised high, and the depression in his heart disappeared.
He was just one of the many princes in Wu Palace at the beginning. He was unsuccessful when he was young, and those around him always looked down upon him. Now that he is the crown prince of Wu Kingdom, he still treats the proud girls of the family. He is not interested, but a gentle and sensible woman like Xie Rui is more attractive to him.
Lin Qingping, who was still at the table, saw the interaction between the two clearly.
At night, when he returned to the Lin Mansion, he wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to Xie Fengyue.
Shengjing was getting hotter and hotter every day, and Xie Fengyue placed a dozen ice basins in his room, which barely made him feel comfortable. The candlelight illuminated the study brightly. After Xie Fengyue opened the letter and read it, a smile appeared on her face.
Xie Rui is also a motivated girl, and her good intentions are not wasted.
This matter is just a minor incident. Xie Fengyue is still in the study dealing with several major matters.
First, her fiefdom's taxes this year have come up, and she needs to check the accounts.
2. I don’t know which company it was, but it took a fancy to Ye Wan’s prescription and sent a letter asking her to come forward and discuss the price.
Xie Fengyue really didn't know which family would buy that prescription. Although Qian'an was not in peace and prosperity, there was no war, so he couldn't buy a prescription for the golden sore medicine to fill his family's treasury.
Moreover, his first round offer was not low, and he quoted a figure of ten thousand taels.
To be honest, Xie Fengyue was moved.
Buying a prescription at this price is already considered a luxury. She is not a good person who sticks to the rules. When it comes time to use this prescription, can she still be restricted by this thin contract?
Thinking of this, she wrote back and stated that she would go to Pingkangfang tomorrow. It just so happened that she also wanted to send the prescription she got from the Lin family to Ye Wan.
After finishing the matter, she opened the densely packed tax accounts.
After reading only two pages, her brain started to hurt.
Yongning County is really poor, and two or three families with more than a hundred people are already the leaders, and most of the taxes come from this.
The remaining records are about land taxes and population income.
The handwriting of the official who recorded the records was clear and elegant, but it really couldn't stop the dazzling details of the detailed accounts.
Xie Fengyue pinched her eyebrows, put the account aside, took a sip of strong tea, and opened it again.
never mind.
There are only five or six pages of accounts. The rest are some county records.
They are all trivial cases handled by the Yongning County Magistrate. For example, yesterday the son of Zhang San's family took out the chicken coop of Li Si's family, how much compensation was paid, and today Wang Mazi damaged the Zhou Zhou family's fishing boat and how much compensation was paid.
As of January, many cases have involved how much compensation has been paid.
How much of the compensation was used for the construction of salt works and how much of the mountain forest was mined
Xie Fengyue was really one and the same. For the first time, she realized how troublesome it was to deal with general affairs.
She closed the account and silently blew out the candle on the sapphire table.
Really forget it, she doesn't want to go to that barren land now and there is no need to worry about it.
Xie Fengyue's words came true. In the near future, she would really have to spend most of her time in that so-called barren land.
"The Beauty of Spring" is divided into Chenjun Chapter, Lingnan Chapter, Shengjing Chapter, Yongning Chapter and the ending.
Now we are ready to transition to the Yongning chapter.
Moon Girl will create a new future in Yongning.
