Chapter 468 Announcement
After sweeping the silk grass around, she pursed her lips and smiled.
Putting down Tianzhuang, Sicao said goodbye to Mrs. Liu and explained the reason why Xia Zihan couldn't come.
Mrs. Xiang's personal nanny kept praising Xia Zihan for being sensible, well-behaved and considerate. Even the maids around her were so neat and tidy, which made people feel comfortable just to see her.
Si Cao was happy to hear this and said a few polite words to her.
Xia Ziying was at the side, and her teeth were itching with anger, and her silver teeth were almost broken by her bite.
It was obvious that she was getting married, and it was obvious that these people were here to give her makeup, but these people were unwilling to say a word to her, and did not even look at her. Occasionally, when they glanced at her, they looked like they were looking at garbage. The same thing made her angry and angry.
It was as if she was just a piece of trash, and those people wanted to throw her out.
Yes, that's the look.
Xia Ziying gritted her teeth and grimaced as she sat on the chair. She didn't even have a chance to speak, let alone ask someone to help her escape the marriage.
The next day, Xia Ziying was forced into a sedan chair and carried into Cao's house.
Chu Cong couldn't follow, but she was worried that something might happen to Xia Ziying on the way, so she escorted her all the way. When she saw the sedan entering the gate of Cao's house, Chu Cong went back home and reported to Xia Zihan.
"As long as it goes well." Xia Zihan stopped moving the beads on the abacus and said with a smile.
Chu Cang asked, "Master, should we make the next plan?"
"Don't worry, we just got married. We must let her live a happy life for a few days." Xia Zihan picked up the pen and wrote a number where she counted.
A few days ago, the account books shipped from Jiangnan arrived. There were several thick stacks. She and Silk Grass Vanilla Nuanyu and others had stayed up late for two consecutive nights, and their eyes were red from staying up, and only one third of them were all. Less than.
Chu Pang stopped asking. Knowing that settling the accounts was the most important thing now, Chu Pang sat down and settled the accounts with them.
These account books are from sixteen shops in the south of the Yangtze River. They are the incoming and outgoing accounts of the shops in July, August, and September. There is one book for each month, a total of forty-eight books.
Because the business in each shop was very good and the account books were thick, Xia Zihan could read six books a day without sleeping.
In addition to sleeping, eating, bathing, going to the toilet, etc., she can only read three books a day. Several maids and assistants work, and there is not much time to read the books. In the past two days, they have only read a little more than one book. .
Xia Zihan is also busy. She has to prepare for Zeng Jing's marriage, buy Chu Yuexi's betrothal gift, take care of the Chu family's middle income, and draw new designs for the shop every month, so she has to find time to go to the shop. Take a walk and wait.
In short, Xia Zihan was very busy and had no time to take care of eating. Seeing that Mrs. Zeng felt distressed, she took the initiative to take the middle child of the Chu family over and told Mother Su to take care of it temporarily.
"No matter how important the account books are, they are not as important as your body. Even though you are young now, your body has not yet fully grown. It still needs to grow. Don't overwork yourself and affect your body. Leave those account books to your side. Let some maids go and see them. I think those maids of yours are all good, and they can write and do math..." Madam Zeng gave Xia Zihan a few words of persuasion.
Xia Zihan nodded repeatedly, "I know, I remember what my grandmother said."
"Well, you're a good boy." Mrs. Zeng praised her lovingly, and then said distressedly, "Although you earn a lot of money every year, it's also very hard. When you enter the Chu family's gate, you don't want to suffer like this. Kill yourself, your hands I'll leave the shop to the housekeeper, so you don't have to step in." She felt sorry for Xia Zihan's efforts to make money, and was afraid that she would be overworked and injured at such a young age, and that she would have to give birth to Chu Jingqi in the future. .
Xia Zihan nodded repeatedly. After that, she really didn't want to stay up late looking at the account books. When the time came, she went to bed to rest.
It wasn't until the end of October that she finished reading the account books. There were several errors in two of the account books, which she circled with a pen. Then she sent someone to Nuan Xiang, asking her to investigate those two shops. Explore.
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, a letter came from the maid of Dou Da's wife's family, saying that Dou Da had given birth to a fat son.
Xia Zihan was very happy and immediately gave a big red seal to the maid, "Tell your young mistress that I will visit the child after three baths."
"Yes, the princess's words will definitely reach you." The maid didn't show any pretense. She accepted Feng Hong and bowed.
After the maid left, Xia Zihan went to discuss with Zeng a gift for Dou Dashan.
Hongmei, who came to the door, and sisters Zeng Ning and Zeng Jing were playing leaf cards with Zeng. When they saw her gone, Zeng Jing greeted her and said with a smile, "Cousin, come quickly, I have lost a lot. , come here and play a few games to help me change my luck.”
Xia Zihan glanced at the silver beside the four people. Sure enough, there were only two pitiful pieces of silver beside Zeng Jing. Hongmei's silver was not much, but there were only seven or eight pieces. However, there were only seven or eight pieces of silver beside Zeng Jing and Zeng Ning. There were two small mountains of silver piled up, each worth twenty or thirty yuan.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "If you lose, it's yours. If you win, treat me to something to eat."
"Hmm, I'll treat you to Baiwei's roast duck." Zeng Jing gave up her seat to Xia Zihan and promised Xia Zihan a roast duck.
Ever since Zeng Jing and Liao Jingtang got engaged, she and Xia Zihan had become much closer. When they saw her, they smiled and tried to please her.
Although Xia Zihan didn't treat Zeng Jing as well as Liao Fangyi, she didn't hate Zeng Jing. Since Zeng Jing wanted to please her and befriend her, she was happy to accept it.
Zeng Ning sorted out the cards in his hand and glanced at Xia Zihan intentionally or unintentionally. Deep in his eyes, he was full of jealousy.
However, she concealed herself very well and no one present noticed her, but Xia Zihan could still feel her body exuding an aura that kept strangers away.
She glanced at Zeng Ning inadvertently, and they met her eyes. Zeng Ning smiled concealed and said, "Cousin, it's your turn to play your cards."
Xia Zihan wasn't very good at playing leaf cards and wasn't very interested, but Zeng Jing had already spoken and she couldn't refuse.
However, she didn't know how to play, she was very lucky, and she could handle every card well, and Zeng Jing was teaching her. After just a few cups of tea, she made back all the money that Zeng Jing had spent before, and she was still able to get back the money. This brings profit.
Zeng Ning lost the most. She took out the money around her one by one. Within a moment, more than half of it was missing. When she thought no one was watching, she secretly glared at Xia Zihan and said with a smile, " Cousin is so partial, helping Sixth Sister, look, you have made all my money. Cousin, do you want to help me too?”
Xia Zihan said jokingly, "I'm going to earn dowry for your sixth sister again. Why, are you in a hurry to get married? Do you want to be like your sixth sister?"
"Cousin, you always make fun of me." Zeng Jing said shyly, but her eyes glanced at Zeng Ning.
