Chapter 88 Can persimmons dispel fire?

Yu Wenyan looked at the persimmon and thought of the tree in the temple on the outskirts of Beijing.

"You can eat whatever you want, and it will be considered as payment for the accounting."

Ye Qingyou was so happy that she picked one up and wiped it twice before biting it into her mouth. The ice shavings were mixed with sweetness in her mouth, and she shivered because of the cold.

Fortunately, the heater was lit in the carriage, so she leaned over there and devoured the persimmon in three mouthfuls, not even throwing away the dry skin, which made her teeth hurt.

"Your Highness, don't you want to try it?" Seeing that he kept staring, Ye Qingyou took one and handed it to him, but she didn't know that her smile was sweeter than the persimmon.

Yu Wenyan's long black eyelashes twitched slightly, with a look of disgust on his face, "Don't you want to wash it?"

"The carriage still has spring water for making tea. It's a waste to wash the persimmons. Just peel them off." Ye Qingyou put the persimmons in the tea bowl and peeled off the skins.

Yu Wenyan took the bowl, but didn't know how to eat it. It wasn't that he couldn't chew it, but it was like her face was covered with persimmon soup?It's really unsightly.

Throwing the silk handkerchief over, Yu Wenyan picked up a spoon and ate bit by bit.

He ate very elegantly, as if what he was holding in his hand was not three persimmons worth a penny, but delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Ye Qingyou was reluctant to wipe her cheeks with his silk handkerchief and took her own.

Yu Wenyan looked at her and said quickly, "Your veil is too expensive..." After all, she had to do more than a dozen steps of incense burning.Why not wipe it with her handkerchief, it won't hurt even if it is thrown away after use.

Yu Wenyan suddenly turned dark, put down the persimmon, and didn't speak to Ye Qingyou again along the way.

Ye Qingyou didn't understand why he suddenly became unhappy. When he arrived at the place, he followed Yu Wenyan into the government office, where the account books were piled up into mountains.

She was stunned for a long time, thinking that the basket of persimmons just now was used as payment?It’s really a big loss!
"There are still sixteen accountants here. You can arrange them as you please." Yu Wenyan left the errand to her and walked in. Soon, roars could be heard from time to time.

Ye Qingyou looked at the sixteen gentlemen who were so frightened that they could only discuss the division of labor with Uncle Dong.

Ye Qingyou took an overview of the accounts and took a look at it. No wonder Yuwen's banquet was so popular and his people were used to check the accounts.

This is Tengzhou’s official expenditure over the years, and it is full of errors and omissions just at a glance.

"Forget it, everyone should be more careful when settling the accounts, because these are not accounts, they are all human lives. It is not just other people's lives, it may also be our own."

The accounting gentlemen were already scared, but when they heard Ye Qingyou pour a basin of cold water on them, their hands started shaking crazily in fear.

Uncle Dong quickly completed the division of labor according to the project. The sound of abacus soon sounded in the east compartment. The calculated accounts were handed over to Uncle Dong one after another. Ye Qingyou then listed out a detailed overview and wrote down detailed project errors. The difference in silver was handed to Yu Wenyan.

The morning passed quickly.

When Ye Qingyou went to the courtyard to stretch her waist, she felt the ringing in her ears.

Chen Jian quickly found someone to bring snacks to supplement his external strength.

There was another sound of broken porcelain in the room, and then the word "go" was heard. A seventh-grade official was dragged out of the room, and there was a muffled groan before the sound was silenced.

Chen Jian looked at Ye Qingyou and then at the snacks in his hand, "Why don't you send it in, madam? I have some things to do here."

"Is this a gift for food? It's a gift for death." Ye Qingyou took the snack and ate one first. It was a bit sour and easily scolded.

She went to the basket and took a big persimmon, put it in the bowl and took a spoon.

"Send it over." She handed it to Chen Jian and immediately went back to settle the accounts.

Chen Jian hissed helplessly, "Not loyal enough!" He could only bite the bullet and enter the house.

There were also two local officials kneeling in the room who could not answer the questions.When Yu Wenyan saw Chen Jian coming in with food, he gave him a big eye-roll with his eyebrows, "Is this time for free food?"

"Ms. Ye asked her subordinates to bring it here." Chen Jian immediately pushed the man.

The officials looked at him coldly. When this guy got angry, didn't everyone seek death?
But who would have expected that when Yu Wenyan saw the persimmon, he took it with a light response.

"You have been a parent official for many years, but you can't even tell the whereabouts of the money and food under your command. How can you still be a human being? I will give you three days. You must find all the personnel and clear accounts in your hands, otherwise you will bring your head to see Yuwen Yan!" As soon as the order was given, the two men immediately kowtowed and thanked them, and then ran away in a hurry.

That speed was like escaping from the Palace of Hell, for fear that this person would change his mind in the next second.

Yu Wenyan snorted coldly, then picked up the persimmon and ate it very seriously.

As he ate, he became angry again, "Get water!"

Chen Jian: "Huh?"

"How can I wipe it off after eating it so sweetly? My prince's handkerchief has been wasted!" Yu Wenyan's roaring throat had already dried up. After eating persimmons to moisten his throat, it seemed that the anger was gone.

Chen Jian immediately asked the guards to fetch water. He smiled playfully and said, "I didn't expect that this persimmon has miraculous effects on dispelling fire? This is the first time I have heard of it."

These words were full of cunning, and anyone could tell that they were being ridiculed.

Does that mean persimmons have miraculous effects?But the person who gave the persimmons.

"Don't forget to tell the government office to prepare vegetarian food for lunch." Yu Wenyan rarely paid attention to this.

Chen Jian nodded, "I have already ordered you to go down, don't worry, Your Highness."

"How's the progress of the accounts over there?" Yu Wenyan asked.

"My subordinates haven't asked in detail yet. Just now, the lady was about to report back. When she saw the door, she dragged someone out and beheaded someone, and then she went back to the east chamber." Chen Jian thought of Ye Qingyou's face that had just turned pale. "Even if the young lady doesn't keep her filial piety, today I’m afraid but I don’t want to get into the fishy meat.”

Yu Wenyan raised his eyebrows, "Why didn't you avoid her?"

"When you are killing people on the sidelines, His Majesty doesn't even care..." Chen Jian had said it very bluntly.

"Okay, shut up." Yu Wenyan cleaned his hands and rinsed his mouth, then got up and went to the yard to take a look.

He stood at the door of the east chamber and saw the woman sitting on the high platform with dexterous fingers and calculating. She kept turning pages with her other hand. Sometimes she put down her abacus and picked up a pen to write a line. She didn't know what she was muttering. The mumbling ones are particularly cute.

"Have you sent a letter to the capital?" Yu Wenyan moved away without interrupting.

Chen Jian sniffed and said, "Sent it away. I'll probably return it the day after tomorrow."

Babaili rushed, not only to report the military situation, but also specifically mentioned that Yue Lingfeng should be retained to investigate the enemy's spies in Tengzhou. At the end, he mentioned that Ye Qingyou would be hired as the general accountant and be on standby.

As a female dependent, how can she always comply with the imperial edict?

I'm afraid even a fool can see this, His Highness has other selfish motives.

"Okay, let's continue with the work." Yu Wenyan also cheered up and continued to deal with the chaos in Tengzhou.

Just like this for three days, Ye Mingyuan and Yue Xian subconsciously looked at each other when they heard their father-in-law beside His Majesty say that King Luoning had left behind two children.

"But these two are planning to get married during the Chinese New Year. I wonder if they can make it back in time?" Yue Xian took courage and asked.
