Lucky First Daughter: After crossing, she will fly the whole family with her mouth

Chapter 187 Missing
Xiao Jinyue was surprised, "My father was promoted to the right servant of the household department, why didn't I receive any news?"

"Yesterday, the mother of Mr. Wu, the right servant of the household department, passed away. Mr. Wu wanted Ding You. He recommended our general to the emperor. But at that time, the emperor did not express his position. Unexpectedly, in the court this morning, the emperor ordered the general to serve as the household department. The position of right servant."

Seeing that Xiao Jinyue was happy, Lu Chengting reminded her, "Father-in-law is promoted, we should come to congratulate him. I ordered the chief steward to prepare a congratulatory gift, and I will go back with you later."

The shopkeeper was naturally happy to see that the prince was going to accompany the concubine back to his natal home, but, "Master and concubine, although the general has been promoted, the general and his wife don't plan to hold a feast to celebrate. The general asked his wife to close the door for a few days. Thank you."

Xiao Jinyue didn't expect her parents to be so low-key, and she didn't know if it was because the mother of Mr. Wu, the former right servant of the household department, had just passed away, so it was not good to celebrate at this time, or she had other plans.

"Uncle Zhong, then you came to see me, is there something else?"

The big treasurer nodded, "The general has entered the household department, and the higher-ups let him take charge of the audit of records and collection of taxes and levies. He must also complete the audit and verification of the collection of taxes and levies for the past ten years within one month.

In order to complete the task as soon as possible, the general took part of the account books from the household department and returned home, asking the young master to help check.There are many books and time is tight, and the young master is also very troubled.

I came to see the concubine Shizi today, and I want to ask, can I teach the young master and the general the bookkeeping method you taught?There are too many tax collection books, and I am worried that the general will not be able to complete the task on time. "

Xiao Jinyue frowned. Although she had never seen the tax collection account books of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the complicated accounting methods of this era were a headache even for her.

Ten years of account books have to be checked every month. It seems that her father was made things difficult by others as soon as he entered the household department.But this is also expected, after all, his father once had conflicts with Zou Changyuan, the left servant of the household department.

"Uncle Zhong, you go back to the mansion first. You can't explain the account book in a few words, and I will go back with the son later, let me teach the elder brother."

The shopkeeper was very happy when he heard this, it would be great to have the concubine go back to teach the young master.Although he has mastered the bookkeeping method taught by the concubine, he still has a headache looking at the huge pile of account books in the household department, and he is not fully confident that he can teach the young master and the general.

When his father-in-law was promoted, Lu Chengting asked the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift, and accompanied Xiao Jinyue back to Xiao's mansion.

Xiao Pingyuan didn't want to celebrate in a high-profile manner when he was promoted.Although Mrs. Xue thanked the guests behind closed doors, but her daughter brought her son-in-law here, of course she would not turn them away.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue and his wife, Mrs. Xue beamed with joy, and immediately asked the big kitchen to prepare food and wine, and asked them to have dinner.

Xiao Jinyue chatted with Xue Shi for a while, and then went to the study, where her elder brother was fighting bitterly with a large pile of account books.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Haoqing raised his head and saw Xiao Jinyue, as if seeing a savior, he immediately pulled her to ask how to deal with the huge pile of account books.

Xiao Jinyue didn't start teaching as soon as she came up. She took two account books and read them carefully from beginning to end, and read the contents clearly. After she had a good idea, she combined modern bookkeeping methods to teach Xiao Haoqing.

Lu Chengting had nothing to do, so he was fascinated by listening to it.He didn't expect Xiao Jinyue to know how to do accounts, so he couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

One teaching, one learning, time passed unconsciously.

When Mrs. Xue came to call them for dinner, the three of them realized that it was time to light the lamps.

Usually Xiao Pingyuan came back from duty, but today I don't know if he was caught in something in the household department, it was already dark, and he hadn't seen him back yet.

Mrs. Xue was worried that Xiao Jinyue would be picked on by the people of Zhen Guogong's mansion if she went back too late, so she ordered dinner before Xiao Pingyuan came back.

Although Xiao Jinyue regretted that she didn't see her father, this was something she couldn't help, she couldn't let her father leave his business affairs alone in order to have a meal with her.

After finishing the meal, it was already dark, Xue Shi repeatedly urged Xiao Jinyue and Lu Chengting to go back.

Unexpectedly, the chief steward walked in hurriedly from outside, Xiao Jinyue frowned, Uncle Zhong had been with her father for many years and always acted prudently, it looked like something had happened.

"Uncle Zhong, is there something wrong?"

Xiao Zhong didn't expect that the concubine Shi Zi was still in the mansion. Originally he wanted to find Mrs. Xue, but when he saw the concubine Shi Zi asked, he hesitated and said, "Yesterday it was Xiao Hai's turn to rest. He said he wanted to go home and have a look. His mother, he said at the time that he would stay at home for one night and return to the workshop today.

I was supposed to go to work at noon today, but the people in the workshop didn't see him back for a long time, so the steward of the workshop sent someone to inform me.Originally, I was worried that he was late due to something at home, so I asked the boy to go to his house to look for him.

Unexpectedly, Xiaohai's eldest sister said that he didn't stay at home last night, and said that he wanted to rush back to the workshop so that he could go to work today.But now I don't know where he went. I asked the guards to ride horses and searched all the way from Xiaohai's house to the workshop, but I couldn't find any trace. "

Xiao Jinyue still had an impression of that Xiaohai.In the whole workshop, he has the most dexterous hands, meticulous mind, and calm personality. Xiao Jinyue taught him all the sugar-making methods and planned to train him to be a sugar-making master.

I heard that his father died in the battlefield in his early years, and now there is an elderly and sick mother and an unmarried eldest sister in the family.At a young age, Xiao Hai sensibly shouldered the burden of the family.

Ordinarily, such a sensible young man should not wander around, Xiao Jinyue frowned and asked the chief steward, "Could he have gone to some relative or friend's house?"

Xiao Zhong shook his head, "Probably not. Although Xiao Hai is young, he has always acted prudently and is very responsible. His elder sister heard that he did not return to the workshop, and said that something bad must have happened to him. Otherwise, he would Once you say you want to go back to the workshop, you will never go to another place without any explanation, let alone go back to the workshop after the time for work."

Then this is strange, since last night until now, she has been missing for a day and a night, and I am afraid that something really happened.

Lu Chengting kept listening, and seeing Xiao Jinyue was worried, he asked the shopkeeper, "When Xiao Hai came home, did he mention it to his family, did he encounter any unusual people and things? Did you say anything special?"

The chief steward shook his head, "I've already asked, and his elder sister said that after Xiao Hai returned home, he didn't mention anything else, all he talked about was working with everyone in the workshop. Seeing that his mother's cough got worse, He gave all the wages he received to his elder sister to help her mother get medicine.

Originally, he planned to stay at home last night, but seeing that her eldest sister brought a lot of starched clothes home to supplement the family income, he couldn't bear the hard work of her eldest sister, so he rushed back to the workshop last night when it was dark, saying that he would go home early Go back, do more work, and get a little more wages for his eldest sister. "
