my grandmother

Chapter 181
"Yes, yes, that's it.

"Yesterday, also at this time, their family came. Look, they carried this big basket of cowpeas. Look, it's not too tiring to carry such a big basket of cowpeas. He said it was specially made for me. I hate eating cowpea the most, and I don’t eat it when I’m a child. Forget it.

"At this time, if one or two cowpeas are planted, which one will not have too many cowpeas to eat? The few cowpeas in our backyard have so many knots that I am tired of them. This is another big basket. You see Look at the sun, it's so hot, it's all over the yard, how can this be eaten? Sigh, I'll send some more to Sister Yin's house later."

"Brother Ni, your sister-in-law is coming to see you for the first time, right? What are they doing here?" Wang Yuting was familiar with Sister Mei's way of chatting, and quickly returned to the topic.

"Isn't it just the first trip! What good things can they do? If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace! Let me speak for them. Guess what they are talking about?
"Let me tell you, it's really a big deal. Isn't our family going to do fine cloth business? It is said that the family has been discussing for several days. How many people are paid by your family, and how much is his family? Long and far silver!
"My brother and my sister-in-law have no money in their hands, and they are also stupid, that is, those in the public. They can't share much. The two feel that they are at a loss. If they say that I help the scholar's family, they must be regarded as their family. , This word, bah! With this, I just want to ask for more, bah, how can I have the face to say this! Obviously they kicked me out, I have no place to go, it is the elder sister who took pity on me and took me in, bah!

"Why, Mr. Kuan knows my matter best, so he ignores them, bah, he deserves it!"

"They came to look for you, and want you to come forward and say something?" Wang Yuting skillfully dragged Sister Mei back.

"You are so smart! Let me tell the eldest sister, and said that he would take me back to Lijiaji, let me talk to the clan elders. Let me tell you, originally, I wanted to tell the elder sister One sentence, just one sentence, if it works, it will work, and if it doesn't work, I won't say more. After all, when I went back to my mother's house, my brother and sister-in-law didn't drive me out no matter how reluctant they were. They finally took me in.

"But come on later, I don't want to say a word more, do you know why?"

Sister Mei looked at Wang Yuting with a smile.

"Why?" Wang Yuting stretched out his head and asked.

"My eldest nephew said that as long as I am willing to say a few words for them, I can let them get some dry shares, a little bit, or else, let him take a job, and if it is done, he will do it. Take me back to retire!"

"Hey!" Wang Yuting said loudly.

"I was terrified when I heard that, I can't let him pick me up! I'm not going anywhere! The elder sister told me that I will follow her to take care of me in the future." Sister Mei looked terrified.

"You big nephew said this to scare you, right? Didn't he see that you are now fat, young and good-looking?" Wang Yuting pursed his lips.

"Am I fat? Really fat? I said, no wonder the old clothes can't fit in. I was thinking, the clothes are almost washed to pieces and can shrink? I dare say I'm fat, how fat is it?" ?” Sister Mei stood up, twisting back and forth to look at herself.

"There are a lot of them. They look good when they are fat, and they are happy and rich." Wang Yuting stretched out his hand and patted Sister Mei's waist.

"No wonder Ah Nan just let me eat half a bowl of rice, I really gained a lot of weight!" Sister Mei pinched the flesh on her waist in a circle, feeling annoyed.

Li Xiaonan held up the book and laughed out loud.

....................................

Early the next morning, Wan Qing came again, spread her hands and said that it was Shi Gun who went to tell her the message in person, although there was no sweat on his brow, but Shi Gun was anxious enough to see him like that.

Li Xiaonan told Sister Mei to tell Wang Yuting to cancel the arrangements for the day, go out to the alley, climb into the car and go to Bieye.

Gu Yan and the crown prince have already left Bieye, and they don't know where they are going.

It was still the same yard, that flower hall, and those two young men. On the long table, there were neatly cut out booklets, a brand new account book, a whole box of sharpened charcoal pencils, and a tightly lacquered brass book. cylinder.

Li Xiaonan unscrewed the cylinder, and inside the cylinder was a roll of the same transparent thin bamboo paper as last time, filled with numbers and symbols.

Li Xiaonan flattened the thin bamboo paper with a paperweight, then buried herself in tidying up.

After working for three or four days, before Li Xiaonan could take a breath, the third piece of transparent thin bamboo paper arrived again.

Li Xiaonan devoted herself to tidying up for a whole day, until the sun went down, Li Xiaonan stood in front of the window, twisting her neck and shoulders, thinking about the amount involved in those accounts, alas, the real golden mountains and silver seas!
Li Xiaonan turned around, walked to the entrance of the flower hall, looked at the two servants standing on the left and right and asked, "Is the son of the world coming to see these? When will you come?"

"Back to the girl, the prince and the prince will come here first when they come back. The prince has ordered that the girl does not call, and the two younger ones are not allowed to step over the threshold. When the girl is away, no one is allowed to step on the threshold." The boy on the left He answered with his hands down.

Li Xiaonan groaned, turned around and went back, took Zhang Shuxuan, thought for a while, picked a delicate brush from the pen holder on the other side of the long case, moved the inkstone, grinded the ink, and wrote a few lines. After the ink was dry, I folded it in half and pressed it on top of the account book with a paperweight.

When Gu Yan accompanied the prince back to Bieye, night had already fallen.

The two entered the flower hall one after the other, the crown prince removed the paperweight on the account book, looked at the four words "Senior Invitation by the Son" written on the casually folded booklet, pinched it up and handed it to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan unfolded it, scanned ten lines at a glance, handed the paper to the prince, and said with a smile: "She is worried about the bullock cart."

The prince took it, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "This small script with hairpin flowers is indeed very good, it is enough for copying."

After reading a few lines, the prince smiled and said, "Is this her speculation, or did you mention it to her?"

"I didn't mention it. I didn't expect to be picked up to sort out the ledger in front of the bullock cart." Gu Yan laughed.

"She said it would take five or six tents to do these accounts. Yang Qishan interrogated them and said there were seven people in total?" The crown prince handed the paper to Gu Yan.

"Well, I've got five of them." Gu Yan paused, looked at the crown prince and said, "How about showing her the accounts of the inspection office for the last six months?

"Before the ox cart, he used the excuse that he had a problem with the choice of bed. After changing the bed, he couldn't sleep well for a month. They let him go back to sleep. Except for sleeping, he was in the tent of the silk store all the time. I was always worried that they would In the silk shop, there is no way to put more manpower there. It would be much easier if we could know when the account will be completed before the ox cart.

"If they want to make a move, they must spend a day or two after finishing the accounts. No matter how hard they are, they can keep an eye on it."

"En." The prince nodded, "When do you plan to close the net?"

"When these accounts are reconciled, the tents escorted by Yang Qishan should also arrive, and collect the silk shop first. It's best before they get rid of the ox carts." Gu Yan laughed.

"Well, it's almost time to close the net. Hurry up and get the money back and give it to them, so that he won't be chanting mantras to me every day. It's really a headache." The prince pointed helplessly at the lantern standing outside the flower hall. The next Wenbin.

Gu Yan laughed.

....................................

The next morning, there was a reply letter from Gu Yan on the long case, as well as a large box half a person's height placed on the long case.

Li Xiaonan opened the box, looked at the box full of account books, and took a breath.

She will really make trouble for herself!
Li Xiaonan advanced the time to go to Bieye by two quarters of an hour, before dawn she drove to Bieye of Wangfu, and came out of Bieye after dark.

After being busy for more than half a month, I received another volume of number symbols on this day, and after checking a piece of transparent bamboo paper, Li Xiaonan left a note for Gu Yan again.

Before the bullock cart, the accounts from half a year ago have been checked.
