Chapter 247 Request

Qiao Mingjin welcomed the two people in.

But I saw the two people looking back and forth in the courtyard in an arrogant manner. They looked disdainful and made comments from time to time.

Qiao Mingjin was a little angry at first, but then she heard the man who looked like a boy say to the man who looked like a manager: "Hey, it's not as big as the yard of the second manager in our house."

Qiao Mingjin laughed angrily after hearing this.

The two of them were a little unhappy when they saw that she was very calm and had a smile on her face.

Really, death is imminent and we don’t know yet.

The man who looked like a manager looked down on Qiao Mingjin. He looked Qiao Mingjin up and down, then turned to signal to the boy.

The boy understood and raised his nose and said: "We are from the Zhou Mansion. This is the general accountant in the mansion. You don't need to know his name. You only know that we are the old ladies in the mansion."

That's the one who was called here. The old lady said that she would not call Madam Qiao to work day and night on the property in the mansion. Madam Qiao is not from our mansion at all. Asking an outsider to help read the accounts would be a joke to others. Now you are calling me two

Come and get the account book. Madam Qiao, please sort it out quickly so that I and I can carry it away."

Qiao Mingjin was stunned after hearing this.

Want an account book?

What does Mrs. Zhou want? I didn’t hear Zhou Yanqing mention it.

He frowned and said, "Your Sixth Master brought that account book over. He personally handed it over to me, and he never said he would hand it over before he left. You..."

The man in charge, who looked like a manager, had some complaints in his heart about the old lady sending him all the way to the countryside on such a hot day.

I also heard that I came here to get account books. I heard that the account books of all the family businesses, shops, and properties in the mansion were handed over to a country woman to take care of. I felt angry.

He has been the accountant of the Zhou family for decades.

When the old lady was still there, he worked as a waiter in the counting house. Later, the old lady asked him to learn abacus from the second counting house, and then he won the old man's favor and became a small counting boy.

After the old man left, he took charge of the house. He also took charge of the general accounting office and was also responsible for verifying the account books inside and outside the house.

How many more years did he endure than others? How much hardship did he endure to reach his current status?

How dare she, a country woman, show off in front of him?

What does a country woman know?

Is there any account book sent from outside the mansion that was not brought to him for verification? Every time, he would sigh a few times and ask for some favors from the masters in the mansion.

They all asked him to be more careful.

Originally, he was wondering why there were so few account books this year? But Mr. Liu hired someone to do it locally and then sent it back? Or maybe he hired a powerful outside accountant to have someone responsible for the property outside the government?

?

Unexpectedly, it was this woman who stole Mr. Liu's heart. Even before she got married, she was coveting the property in the mansion.

It's a good idea and a good method.

Can a country woman, who only knows a few words, know how to read and check accounts? What does she know about going in and out? What does she know about external accounts and internal accounts?

With this thought in his mind, the accountant couldn't help but look back and forth at Qiao Mingjin.

She is quite pretty, and her face is calm and calm, as if she is unfazed by favors and humiliations. No wonder Mr. Liu fell in love with her.

Anyone who has been flattered a lot outside will find it strange to suddenly meet such a nonchalant woman.

It's fresh.

After a few days, the freshness will wear off and it will be like yesterday’s flowers.

Aren’t all women the same? Who can keep their appearance unchanged?

Qiao Mingjin didn't scold him for his wanton vision, and let him look at her openly.

When he looked back, he said to him: "A country woman like me really doesn't deserve to know your name. So just call me casually. As you said just now, this accountant is the old lady who holds the account book."

I asked you two to come and take it back, so I won’t say much. I’m not afraid of you bluffing me either. I recognize the fool who drove you. If you want the account book, just take it. But you have to write a receipt.

Give me the note. Otherwise, you will refuse to admit it later and ask me to make compensation. How can I explain it to Mr. Liu? I, a country woman who has never seen the world, cannot afford to make compensation."

The accountant might as well have a country woman like her with such thoughts.

Also, how can someone who can capture Master Liu's attention be so simple?

He didn't answer, and just motioned to the boy next to him.

The boy then said disdainfully: "You are a countryman and you are ignorant. The carriages are all marked by the government, so why would they trick you? If you want a receipt, then go ahead and collect the account books."

The two of us still have to go on a journey!"

After saying that, he looked around and muttered: "I don't even have any servants, and I don't know how to serve tea. What kind of hospitality is this! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."

Qiao Mingjin had already turned around to go to the side room. Hearing his mutterings, Qiao Mingjin turned around with a smile and said: "I live in a country place where all the sluts are cheap, and there is no tea for the nobles to drink. I'm afraid I won't be able to get into the noble family."

Mouth. But one or two glasses of cold water are still available."

After saying that, he asked Mingqi, who was listening to the fire, to pour cold boiled water for the two distinguished guests.

When the accountant saw it, he said: "Forget it. No need to bother. Madam Qiao only needs to pack up the account books and let me and I take them away. Don't miss anything."

After saying that, he turned around and asked Erhanzi, who was standing nearby, to go to the car to get the tea and snacks prepared in the car.

The fool followed Zhou Yanqing here many times. Every time Qiao Mingjin made lunch, he didn't divide it into first, second, and third order. He always made more and evened out his portion. If there was delicious food at home, he would also

There must be a share left for him.

While he was driving, he did not miss out on the delicious food given by Mrs. Qiao.

His family also came from a poor family, so he felt at ease and happy eating the food of the farm family.

Now seeing that these two people looked down on Qiao Mingjin and looked extremely rude, he opened his mouth to say something for Qiao Mingjin.

But he felt that he was insignificant, and he was also afraid of making those two people unhappy and losing his job.

He glanced at Qiao Mingjin worriedly, then turned around and went to the car to get tea and snacks.

When Qiao Mingjin turned around and went to the side room to collect the account books, the two men followed her in.

Qiao Mingjin didn't care either. He quickly packed the account books on the table.

The accountant originally thought that Qiao Mingjin was moving too fast and was afraid of damaging the account books, so he stopped her and told her to be careful.

Seeing a pile of high piles on the table, and some new account books, which looked like they were newly listed, I casually took them in my hand and flipped through them.

I never thought that when I looked at the items listed above, the items were clear and simple. Not only were the words well written, but also the summary of the title, amount, expenditure, income, details, and summary were all made clearly and clearly.

Even people who don't know how to settle accounts can see it clearly. It's not like the other people who are like a dark mass that makes their eyes dizzy when they look at it.

He couldn't help but look up at Qiao Mingjin.

Could it be that Mr. Liu really has a keen eye for recognizing people?

Have you really found a capable person?

He casually picked up one from another pile of old account books and looked through it. The things recorded in that old account book were completely incomparable to what he had just seen. It gave him a headache.

After flipping through a few more pages, he could see some items marked with a thin pen next to them. Looking further, he discovered that there were doubts and discrepancies in that item.

He checked it up and down again, looked back and forth several times, and found that he really remembered the wrong items.

If he hadn't read the sign and looked up and down carefully, he wouldn't have been able to see the error. Such a small error, as subtle as dust...

When the cashier looked at Qiao Mingjin, his eyes changed somewhat.

The tone was also much more respectful.

He said to Qiao Mingjin: "Thank you for your hard work, little lady. This account book is well done."

Seeing that Qiao Mingjin didn't answer, he knew that he had offended someone. He took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Qiao Mingjin.

Said: "The monthly payment for the general accounting room in the mansion is two taels of silver, and here is twenty-four taels of silver. The old lady has calculated a whole year's wages. Please accept it, Mrs. Qiao."

Qiao Mingjin glanced at him, said thank you and took the purse.

It just so happens that she has worked hard and been paid, and she deserves her fair share.

Qiao Mingjin took out another piece of rice paper used by Wan'er to practice calligraphy from the table, handed it to him with a pen, and asked him to write down the receipt.

I collected a few account books, and wrote them down one by one, including the names of them, the year, month and person who collected them.

The accountant had no objection and wrote the receipt with a few strokes. Qiao Mingjin looked at it, dried the ink, and put it away.

He asked them to move all the account books.

The boy was still staring at the sky with his nostrils, and Qiao Mingjin didn't care about him. Instead, the accountant said hello to her before leaving.

"Ms. Qiao, stay here. The two of us will leave now."

Qiao Mingjin didn't answer, and didn't want to see them off. She just smiled and nodded at him, stood at the door of the wing and watched them off, and asked Mingqi to close the door behind them.

After a while, I heard the sound of a carriage driving away outside.

Ming Qi came back after closing the door and felt a little distressed when she saw Qiao Mingjin staring blankly at the empty table.

He said angrily: "Sister, just take it away if they take it. We don't care about it! Two taels of silver do you think it is a lot? You look like you are sending a beggar away. You don't even look at how tired your sister is! You still treat them like we care about them?"

What’s wrong with the family!”

After saying that, he snorted angrily.

Qiao Mingjin looked at her funny, took the purse on the table and handed it to her: "Don't be angry. I'm not angry. Take this purse and treat it as your private room."

Mingqi pushed back: "Sister, I don't want it. There is food and drink here. If you need money, sister will get it for me. There is no need for money."

Qiao Mingjin put the purse into her hand, stood up, touched her head, and said, "Take it. Next time, sister will take you to the city to see Mingjue and Mingheng. If you want to buy anything, use your money to buy it."

, and also buy your elder brother and younger brother something they like."

After hearing this, Ming Qi became happy again and stopped.

He turned around and asked Qiao Mingjin happily when he was going to the city.

Qiao Mingjin said a few words to her.

He also told her to go to the workshop and see if Manager Zhou came today. If he came, ask him to come to the house.

Ming Qi collected the money and happily went out to the workshop. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
