Chapter 95: Heartless Lord, let me crawl!
Not only Lin Yize felt this way, but other people also felt that Lin Zhenzhen had a hard time. Most of the handkerchiefs of the original owner had become biological children, and they all wrote letters to comfort them, or came to the door. Come.
It's just that every time Lin Zhenzhen said that she was actually doing well, everyone thought she was just forcing a smile on the surface.
Actual Lin Zhenzhen: She was promoted to become rich and her husband died, and the capital was walking sideways, so cool!
In the early morning, as soon as Lin Zhenzhen opened her eyes, she could eat the breakfast ordered the day before, then got up and walked around in the huge garden of Chen Wangfu, and then went around to the study to read and make plans plate, reckoning.
After lunch, I started to take a nap. After nourishing my spirit, I started the afternoon entertainment activities, learning embroidery with Mama Cai.
.
Mother Cai only thought that Lin Zhenzhen was just on a whim and wanted to find something to pass the time. At first, she only taught some simple acupuncture techniques, but she couldn't help the students to be talented and intelligent.
Mother Cai watched Lin Zhenzhen from being rusty to becoming proficient, if it wasn't for a piece of paper, she would find it hard to believe that such a beautiful little red flower was embroidered by the master himself of.
Mother Cai looked at the lively red flowers on the embroidered bandage and stammered, "Lord...Master, why did you suddenly learn so fast? Last time was not..."
"The last time was the last time," Lin Zhenzhen's hands kept moving, she didn't need to draw a pattern with Cai Ma, so she made inferences and embroidered the leaves next to her, "Everyone knows how to do it. Growing up, your master, I am different now."
Mother Cai recalled that at that time, the master was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Now that he is older, people's favorite tastes will change, not to mention these.
The master is willing to learn, and he learns quickly and well. Of course, Mama Cai will not hide it. After teaching for one afternoon, she has taught everything she has learned over the years.
It was almost dusk, and candles were lit in the house to ensure that the house was well-lit and that the embroidery did not hurt the eyes.
"Let's be here today," Lin Zhenzhen finished the last stitch, cut the end of the thread with scissors, got up and rubbed her wrist, looking at the finished product with satisfaction, "Put the things away."
Mother Cai was admiring the carp on the embroidered stretcher, flapping her tail, and leaping towards the Dragon Gate, her body was full of unyielding energy, when she heard Lin Zhenzhen's words, she was stunned for a moment , "Master, will you stop embroidering like this?"
"Yes," Lin Zhenzhen sat at the round table and made herself a cup of tea, "I've learned it all, it's okay to keep it, just put it away."
These words came out of Lin Zhenzhen's mouth, a bit like Versailles, but Mama Cai really couldn't find anything to refute.
After all, what Lin Zhenzhen said was not wrong, what she taught, Lin Zhenzhen really knew what she taught and couldn't refute it.
When Lin Zhenzhen said this, Mammy Cai didn't say much, and motioned the servants to put away the sewing rack.
Today's dinner was cooked by a newly hired chef. He used to work in the imperial kitchen and was good at cooking vegetarian dishes. Now, after retirement, he was hired by Chen Wangfu to cook with a high salary.
The bowl of vegetable soup in front of Lin Zhenzhen retains the sweetness of vegetables, with a refreshing fragrance and is her favorite dish at present.
Lin Zhenzhen took a few sips with the spoon, looked at the vegetable soup in the small bowl, and said to Mama Cai, "Tomorrow, I will learn this dish."
"Okay, we'll make arrangements right away."
Mother Cai and the others do not think that Lin Zhenzhen, the master, is too self-willed to study. In their opinion, if the master finds something to do, the whole person is more sick than before and stays in the study all day long Come here well.
The way the master was before really scared them and made them feel bad. They were afraid every day. I was afraid that if the master couldn't think of it, he would go with the prince.
It's fine now.
"By the way, let all the shopkeepers in the capital come with the ledger tomorrow."
"Yes."
The dozen or so shopkeepers who came here were also brought in by the maids, you look at me, I look at you, and I have a rough guess in my heart that they will be called over.
Because of the princess' illness and the need to recuperate, this audit took a long time.
Since the princess fell ill, I haven't checked the accounts carefully for a year, and now they are suddenly called at one time, they will inevitably think more and guess what the princess did.
A squinting shopkeeper in blue clothes whispered to the person next to him, "Old Hong, you are the oldest, you said that the master called us all over, is there something wrong? Son?"
"What are you afraid of," the old shopkeeper who was questioned closed his eyes and rested, the old **** was there, "Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."
squinted and pouted: "...Yes, yes."
That's right, no wonder this old Hong doesn't have any friends.
After waiting for a long time, the sound of walking came from outside the study, and several stewards in the study quickly calmed down, stood up straight, and waited for the master to come in.
Lin Zhenzhen took the lead, wiped the water droplets on her hands after she just went to the kitchen to learn how to cook and washed her hands with a handkerchief, and asked the people around her, "Are you all here?"
"It's all there."
"Hmm."
Lin Zhen Zhen nodded with satisfaction.
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the study, the maid outside the door had finished bowing and opened the thick curtain, Lin Zhenzhen leaned over slightly, the fringe beside her ears swayed slightly. With the air-conditioning of the wind and snow, he walked into the study.
The curtains were lifted, and several stewards looked at their noses and hearts, and did not dare to raise their heads.
water droplets on.
Lin Zhenzhen sat behind the desk, "Bring up all the books."
Several shopkeepers put all the ledgers they brought over into the hands of the maids, and asked the maids to put them away and send them to the specially emptied desk.
Prince Chen's mansion is rich, and Lin Zhenzhen is also rich. When she was married, she almost emptied out most of the estate of the Marquis of Zhen'an, plus the reward from the palace, Shili Hongzhuang was not just talking about it.
In this powerful alliance, the assets of both parties are added together, and there are at least dozens of large-scale profitable shops under their hands.
"Manager Hong, tell me about the store's income this year."
The old shopkeeper who had been squinted and questioned before was questioned by Lin Zhenzhen, and he came out, recalled the accounts of this year, considered the language, and said, "Go back to the master, the five houses in charge of the servants. food…"
When the red shopkeeper was reporting, Lin Zhenzhen picked up the top one of the stack of account books while listening, and quickly flipped through it.
Manager Hong quickly finished the report, and Lin Zhenzhen didn't say much, but called the next shopkeeper to continue reporting. At this time, Lin Zhenzhen had already quickly flipped through several ledgers , looks like the gentleman who randomly checks the homework to see if the student's handwriting is correct and whether the content is full.
Seeing Lin Zhenzhen's attitude, the rest of the shopkeepers below were also relieved, thinking that Lin Zhenzhen was just checking.
time habit.
There are more than a dozen shopkeepers in total, no matter how concise it is, everyone will report it again, and an hour has passed by the time the last shopkeeper has finished speaking. Lin Zhen Zhen didn't speak, so they didn't dare to move or speak.
"Dah, dah, dah."
Lin Zhenzhen's fingers were still tapping lightly, she opened her eyes, and according to her memory, picked out two books from the pile of books she had just read, "Manager Li, the price of this silk is Why is it so much higher than last year?"
Manager Li, who squinted his eyes, explained, "Master, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River this year, and the farmers who raised silkworms suffered heavy losses, and the quantity of silk was scarce, so the price was unavoidable compared to last year..."
"Really," Lin Zhenzhen opened the other account book and threw the two together in front of her squinting eyes, "Then why is the shopkeeper He, who also uses silk, different from what you recorded here? , the difference is two taels of silver?"
"It's all silk, and it's all purchased from Jiangnan, which was flooded. How can the price vary so much?"
Squinting eyes and being smashed in the face, he didn't dare to say more, picked up the ledger and took a closer look, and found that Lin Zhenzhen threw it over in the most inconspicuous corner of the ledger belonging to Shopkeeper He, There is such a record of buying silk from Jiangnan.
Some time ago, it was popular in Beijing to use silk as an embellishment for jewelry. Shopkeeper He is in charge of this aspect. It is inevitable to pursue the trend, but at the same time, the price of buying silk is quite different.
You must know that Shopkeeper Li is in charge of the silk fabric shop. According to the amount of silk purchased by the shop every month, the extra 2 taels of silver add up to a lot, and each month can be 1 A lot of silver.
Manager Li didn't expect that it would be because a small record on the account book of Shopkeeper He exposed his corruption. a ledger.
"It's also interesting to say that the price of the silk on it in the same month is actually different from the price recorded in the ledger handed over by Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper He..."
Before Lin Zhenzhen finished speaking, another shopkeeper knelt on the ground.
.
The foreheads of the shopkeepers with ghosts were dripping with sweat, and they couldn't tell whether they were hot or scared.
"Who is lying, deceiving, and deceiving this princess?"
…
Since Lin Zhenzhen is in trouble, the evidence doesn't stop there.
After squinting and being gagged and bound by guards to send off, I saw Lin Zhenzhenleiting's methods, and the rest of the shopkeepers who had ghosts in their hearts did not dare to take chances. Zhen Zhen asked and knelt on the ground, obediently revealing what she had committed.
The water is clear and there are no fish.
Lin Zhenzhen understands this, and after sending the biggest "mouse shit" to the officials, she punishes the rest of the people according to the size of the crime and orders them Make up the money as soon as possible within seven days, and no further offences will be allowed.
I dare not do it again.
He beat the people below and said so much, Lin Zhenzhen was also tired, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, looked at the red-burning charcoal, Lin Zhenzhen Thinking of the heavy snow that has been falling every day recently, I asked, "How is our porridge shed lately?"
This porridge hut was set up by the original owner, who was kind-hearted and pitied the homeless, for many years.
When she knew that because of the cold weather this year, the consumption of rice and firewood was 30% faster than in previous years, especially when the number of beggars increased, Lin Zhenzhen sighed, "I hope this Winter will pass sooner."
At this time, in a hut far away in a remote fishing village, the man was holding the hand of the girl who caught cold and fell ill from washing clothes in the winter. look at each other.
"Crescent Moon, when you are in good health, we will get married."
It seems that during this period of time, the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds, and it is time to talk about marriage.
Crescent Moon looked at the handsome silhouette of the man and smiled shyly, "Okay."
