my wife is queen

Chapter 4 Longmen Accounting Method
Seeing that the pheasant slave might be down, Li Mian felt amused, and casually took out a copy of "The Chronicles of the Yunjiao Pavilion" from the bookcase next to it, and read it slowly.

"ah."

The pheasant slave shook the double-ringed bun, and took out a box of candied fruit from the small kitchen's make-up dowry with her tender white palm, and the embroidered pouch quickly bulged.

She patted the embroidered pouch, her eyes rolled into a smile: "Grandpa, let's go eat Shizi Yunpian Cake, if it's bean paste stuffing, listen to my uncle, if it's winter sugar stuffing, go tell the princess."

When in doubt, ask your belly.

Li Mian smiled, and took the pheasant slaves to the inner city of Dong'anmen by the Jinshui River to taste Shiziyun Pian Cake. He was quite fond of this kind of cake that Wu Oouting once recorded in "Ten Years Later". curious.

Not long after the two went out, Hongqiao, the lady in charge, walked into the east wing with a pile of ledgers.

Ever since Princess Changping got married, the ledgers sent by the Inner Palace's transport warehouse have become more and more complicated day by day.

Hongqiao scolded Liu Jin secretly in his heart, but he still couldn't understand what he meant, and wanted to take away the control of the inner government's transport warehouse from the princess.

Humph.

Now that His Majesty has no heirs, the princess may become the second woman to be crowned the Great Treasure.

At that time, Liu Jin was waiting to guard the imperial tomb.

"Tuk-tuk-"

Hongqiao knocked on the wooden door of the east wing, but no one answered, went in and put a pile of ledgers on the kitchen dowry.

Earlier a pile had been placed on the ground, and there were only a few official green papers on the red dome.

The settled papers required at least three or four copies, and the maids around the princess had to stay up all night to barely settle the accounts of the Inner Palace Shipping Depot.

There were only a few official green papers on the face of the red dome, and the pheasant slave disappeared, apparently accompanying my uncle to visit the bustling Jinshui River again.

Hongqiao was quite envious in her heart, and she was the only one among the close servants who counted her at leisure.

Just throwing down the ledger in the Neifu Shipping Depot and running away without a trace, a little carried away, unable to distinguish priorities.

When she comes back, she must say a few words.

Hongqiao was also kind-hearted, thinking about the pheasant slave in his heart, worried that she would be reprimanded by the princess, so he took out the ox tongue ink from the tin red and silver round ink cartridge, ground the ink, and helped her settle the accounts.

"This this."

Hongqiao's face was slightly powdered, his eyes widened, he clenched the official green paper tightly in his hand, and then let it go quickly, for fear of damaging the official green paper.

Hongqiao carefully unfolded the official green paper, and read it carefully: "A lot of books have been settled in just a few pages? When did the pheasant slave have such knowledge, and the title on the gold list is more than enough. In this way, it should be my son-in-law. knowledge."

The more knowledgeable people are, the more they value the novel bookkeeping method that settles all the books with a few official green papers.

Hongqiao took a few pieces of official green papers and hurriedly left the east wing room, went to the embroidery room where the princess lived, and said happily: "The servant girl discovered a novel bookkeeping method in my uncle's room. As long as this bookkeeping method is used, The princess will be able to overcome the current difficulties, and Liu Jin, that dog slave's making things difficult is nothing to worry about."

Princess Changping was wearing a red silk beige and sitting on the famille rose porcelain pier. For some unknown reason, the hanging cloud bun on her head was not combed into the peony bun that a married woman would wear.

"Liu Jin dared to tamper with the account books of the Inner Palace Shipping Depot. There should be tricks in it. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of my palace's marriage to take away the Inner Palace Shipping Depot to cover up the deficit or seek personal gain."

Princess Changping saw Liu Jin's intentions, but she was helpless, unable to find any evidence, and let Liu Jin make things difficult step by step.

Gradually losing the account book agency ability of the Neifu Shipping Depot, and finally had to hand over the control of the Neifu Shipping Depot to Liu Jin.

Lose all rights and become a royal princess at will.

Ever since the day her mother was abolished, Princess Changping understood a truth.

Some things, you need to fight for yourself.

Princess Changping looked at the happy Hongqiao, and probably didn't believe what she said.

Liu Jin, a dog slave, was able to become the eight tigers in the palace, fighting back and forth with Wang Zhen, Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs. It is not a novel accounting method that can destroy his plot.

Chang Ping took the official Qing paper and glanced at it, frowned, the more he looked at it, the more serious he became, and he gradually fell into deep thought.

Hongqiao sincerely hoped that the princess and the son-in-law would be happy together, and looked at the princess expectantly, but he didn't respond for a long time.

As time went by, she looked forward to it for a long time, but she didn't wait for the princess's reaction, and her heart gradually became restless.

"Red bridge studies ink."

Princess Changping suddenly spoke, speaking in an unprecedentedly serious tone.

Hongqiao was surprised, she had never seen Princess Changping show such a serious look, she quickly studied the ink, took out a piece of official green paper from the desk of the red book, spread it on the table, and weighed it with egg green glaze Press well.

Princess Changping is frugal, and when she sits quietly in the embroidery room, she seldom lights up, and the wing room is a little dark.

A white-glazed tall lamp is placed on the mahogany incense table. After more than a month, the lamp is still the same as before.

Hongqiao took out the fire folder and lit three white glazed high foot lamps one by one. The lamp flames were dim yellow, illuminating the embroidery room brightly.

Princess Changping picked up the lake pen and dipped it in the inkstone of the Chengni inkstone, writing delicate lowercase letters on both sides of the official green paper, and the thick ledger books decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A large pile of ledgers turned into two official papers.

Princess Changping stared at the two official green papers on the desk of the ticking red book, and her brows that were knit together relaxed, because the worries brought about by the dog slave Liu Jin all disappeared.

She discovered the most beneficial aspect of the new book-keeping system.

A comprehensive and clear view of the inventory of satin, gold flower and silver, etc. in the inner government shipping warehouse.

See all clear and dark accounts.

In the past, I faintly felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't find the tricks, which clearly appeared in front of my eyes.

The accounts did not match, and when Liu Jin was escorting the water transport with the water transport envoy, he brought private goods with him, the amount was huge, equivalent to half of the gold flowers and silver escorted every year.

That is to say, Liu Jin's money pocketed every year is fully half of Jinhuayin's amount.

I got Liu Jin's handle.

Seeing that the princess was silent again, Hongqiao went to blow out the three high lamps made of white glaze, and the embroidery room became dark.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for the princess's attitude towards the novel bookkeeping method.

Hongqiao was kind-hearted and took the initiative to speak for Li Mian: "Although my uncle was ranked at the bottom in the Beizhili Township Examination, it can be seen from this novel bookkeeping method that my uncle is talented and learned, and he might have performed abnormally at the time and was ranked at the bottom. "

After saying this, the embroidery room was still quiet, only the sound of Hongqiao swallowing nervously, and the trembling sound of the cold wind blowing the window lattice.

When the cold wind subsided, Hongqiao was going to set up the willow-leaf lattice windows to blow away the dull atmosphere in the embroidery room.

"Red Bridge."

Princess Changping suddenly called out: "Go and get the son-in-law's Na Cai book."

Na Caishu is the first of the six rites of marriage. The man sends a matchmaker to the woman's home to propose.

Since Li Mian's family was poor and he grew up living in a mountain temple, there are very few gifts recorded in Na Cai's book, except for a goose, which is more about Li Mian's life.

Princess Changping came to pick up the books, obviously she started to look up to Li Mian.

Hongqiao smiled relaxedly, and hurriedly went to the storeroom to find the internal book, and handed it to the princess.

At dusk, Li Mian returned to the mansion, took a look at Lu Chinu, who was barely able to walk, and was satisfied: "The two large plates of scholar cloud cakes are all filled with red bean paste, so don't tell about the Longmen Accounting Method."

The pheasant slave walked into the second room sullenly, sat on the porcelain pier, resting his head on his hands in a daze: "Usually, if you eat at most three, there will be winter sugar fillings. Today, after eating two plates in a row, there is no one."

What else could be the reason? Of course, I told the waiter in advance that only Shiziyun cake with bean paste filling is required.

Li Mian teased the pheasant slave, feeling quite interesting, picked up the unfinished "Yunjiao Pavilion Ji Tan" in a leisurely mood, walked to the window lattice, and looked at the wintersweet outside the window, and slowly read it.

As soon as the front foot came back, Hongqiao walked into the East Wing Room with the back foot, and made a blessing: "The servant has seen the uncle."

Hong Qiao looked at Li Mian curiously, thinking that my uncle must have read poetry and books to come up with a novel accounting method.

Afterwards, he left the east wing with the pheasant slave, and went to the embroidery room where the princess was.

Princess Changping asked if the novel accounting method on the official green paper was Li Mian's idea.

The pheasant slave was overjoyed, the princess began to care about the uncle's situation, and ignored Li Mian's explanation, and chatted a lot.

Three sentences are not far from my uncle, and I said the Longmen account method.

When she returned to the east wing, the moon and stars were sparse, and it was time to rest.

The pheasant slave carried the goose-yellow skirt, and ran into the side room excitedly: "My lord! My lord! The princess is reading my uncle's Na Cai book."

Li Mian was taken aback for a moment, then closed the scroll in his hand with a smile in his eyes.

"Good."
